Everything Has Changed

We’re still wastin' all our time
Keepin' stuck in the behind
The past is gone and over now
But it’s still present in my mind
Everything has changed
And everything has changed again
It’s all changin' all the time
So why are we still so surprised?
We can try to fight the change
Or we can try to rearrange
Or we can try to turn the page
The sun will rise again each day
There’s always darkness in its wake
But you don’t have to be afraid
The love inside will light the way
Everything has changed
And everything has changed again
It’s all changin' all the time
How the hell are we so blind?
Everything has changed
And everything has changed again
It’s all changin' all the time
Tell me how did you get left behind?

The Serpent
04:42

I am temptation
Don’t you want me don’t you need me
I am all your dreams fulfilled
I am the serpent
And I serve no master
And I might just get you killed
I’ll get you all you ever wanted
If you say you’ll worship at my feet
All of your troubles will be vanished
If you say your love is true for me
I am your nightmare
I am all your high ideals
I can make or break your life
I am the demon
I am everything you want
And this capitalist dream is my disguise
I’ll get you all you ever wanted
If you say you’ll worship at my feet
All of your troubles will be vanished
If you say your love is true for me
I am the fabled plot of man
You say you can own a thing – well I guess you can
We are here
It is now
And if we stand divided we might not make it out
I am the dollar
And I need all of your faith
Because without your love I don’t exist
You am the future
And your paths are open wide
And it’s time now for you to clench your fist
- and let’s fight for what is right
I’ll get you all you ever wanted
If you say you’ll worship at my feet
All of your troubles will be vanished
If you say your love is true for me

Pioneers

We trailed through the mountains
And rolled out into the sea where we lay
And there we made our home
Trekked through the valleys
And rolled out into the plains where we stayed
And there we made our home
We will shed our names
(We will make it)
We will not be tamed
(We can fake it)
We will work against division
(We can take it together)
We will not be shamed
(We can take it)
We are not a game
(We will fake it)
We will learn to live together
(We will take it together)
I have a brother in California
My Uncle passed away, the lawyer's got something to say
I am just following the railroad

The Waiting Song
03:43
|
|||
|
Where is the moment I've waited for
All of my life it's all strife til that moment arrives
A waiting game gathering dust on the shelf
While the story I'm living keeps writing itself
Oh no no no no don't turn the page
I've got time I'm young for my age
Deep down in my soul I'm afraid
Of Now
We're all waiting
For our lives to begin
But the truth is
We started it the day we came in
To this world
It's no wonder
We're fearing the end
But the trouble
Starts when you let the fear win
Just begin
(But the songs say...)
Where is the moment I've waited for
All of my life it's all strife til that moment arrives
A waiting game gathering dust on the shelf
While the story I'm living keeps writing itself
Oh no no no no don't turn the page
I've got time I'm young for my age
Deep down in my soul I'm afraid
Of Now
Grab the pages
Tear them out of the book
Light a fire
To lead you where you want to look

Beautiful Animal

You are a beautiful animal
An eagle on a pole, waiting to soar
Oh--- oh---
Our love is like the firelight
Oh--- oh----
We're dancing in the moonlight
We can do anything with this precious life
We can be anything, with love in our minds oh---- oh---
Our love is like the firelight
Oh---- oh---
We're dancing in the moonlight
We'll make the greatest love the world has known
That love will carry on, long after we're gone
Oh--- oh---
Our love is like the firelight
Oh--- oh----
We're dancing in the moonlight
Oh----- oh-----
Our love is like the firelight
Oh--- oh----
We're dancing in the moonlight

We Are Wild

Tonight
Take a look at your life
It doesn't matter if it takes all of your life to get it right
Jeez, Who you tryin to please
It's only you and you can bring the super ego to its knees
So be wild
If you can let yourself be
We are wild
We are wild
So be wild
If you can set yourself free
It's a game of lies
They’re using loaded dice
It's all designed to keep us all locked up inside this eternal fight
Please
Don't spend your life on your knees
There's other ways to see the light
We can get it right and we can disagree
Just be wild
If you can let yourself be
We are wild
We are wild
So be wild if you can set yourself free

Remind Me
03:41
|

|
I am always touching you
A constant reminder
Forever connected to where I come from
And I can feel you
Walk with me
Turn with me
Will you remind me?
Stay with me
Burn with me…
I will always hold you
My love is the ground upon which you stand
I am ever changing and you are too
But you can feel me
I will remind you
There are barriers between us (I am right beside you)
Sometimes I go weeks without feeling your love (you’ll never go long without feeling my love)
I am lost in the dark (I will light your way)
And I can feel you/And you can feel me
Walk with me
Turn with me
You will remind me/I will remind you
Stay with me
Burn with me…

Gold Today
01:55
|
|||
|
I know you’re desperate to get back
Back tot the time when things were good
We always cherish going back home
Where everyone knows where things all stood
But we should be aching to move forward
Dreams of the past are never quite…
what they seem
There’s gold today you’ll mine tomorrow
if you don’t around to see
(Don't go hoppin' in some time machine
We'll have to wait and see
Ooh
Yesterday my troubles flew away)
