What Can You Say

Hey hey hey, hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey hey, hey hey, hey hey
When you're looking at yourself
What do you see on the shelf?
Is it plasticated? Low calorie rated?
Investigate you made it this long
What if other people do
Get their kicks off smoking from a shoe
Are they liberated? Stained and plated?
Baited like the honky tonky fish in the zoo?
But what can you say!
What's the temperature today?
I'm gonna give you my word
and hear you say
Hey hey hey, hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey hey, hey hey, hey hey
When you're looking at your friends
Is your friendship coming to an end?
Is it propagandid? Fat and pampered?
Lookin' like it's hampered you much too long
Now if you want to despair
Don't you do that, just tell them that you care
Just impel and hold them, show them that you're
Willing to say the words that settle their soul
But what can you say!
What's the temperature today?
I'm gonna give you my word
and hear you say
Hey hey hey, hey hey, hey hey
Hey hey hey, hey hey, hey hey

Motorplane

I'm gonna show you my mansion
I'll let you ride in my motorplane
And if you tell me I'm lackin'
In what I need to drive you quite insane
I'm gonna let you know what it means
To fall in love so deep you can't swim out
With every passin' day, you'll see
Love flying in our hearts without a doubt
And if you tell me you can't hear a word
I'll show you what is burning in my house
With every passin' day, you'll see
Dimes and times won't have to be
I'm gonna let you know what it means
To fall in love so deep you can't swim out
With every passin' day, you'll see
Love flying in our hearts without a doubt
And can't you see that I mean what I said
I need your love, I don't need any name
With every passin' day, you'll see
We'll fly away in my motorplane
I'm gonna let you know what it means
To fall in love so deep you can't swim out
With every passin' day, you'll see
Love flying in our hearts without a doubt
And all I want
Is your smile
To see me through the day
Pick up your head
It's like I said
We will try
Together we will fly
Pick up your head
It's like I said
We will try
Together we will fly
Pick up your head
It's like I said
We will try
Together we will fly
Pick up your head
It's like I said
We will try
Together we will fly...

Bright & Mobilized
03:08
|
|||
|
Well, I've been thinking of things
And how they change yet they stay where they are
And for such a long time
I thought I'd found it sublime in the stars
Now I'm back on my feet
A whole step closer to be
So Bright and Mobilized
When I was a young boy
I was destined to toy with the thought
That somehow someday
I'd be able to speak of what's not
Then I grew into mindlessness
I threw away all the kindlessness
Now I'm Bright and Mobilized
And so you see
Everyone just has to be
Born to themselves!

I think I'm gonna stop and get myself another cup of lemonade from you
Oh, how I'd love to be with you
And if you tell me no, the wind is gonna blow you so far away
Please come and play with me today
I get the feeling that you're leading me on
The other day you said you couldn't give me any bread and so I had to knock
My way into your backyard
I know I've been untrue before but somehow I can't do that no more
When you smile the way you do
I get the feeling that you're leading me on
A broken heart can seem like it's all a silly dream but the doctor can't do
A thing in the world for you
Give you lots of pills in hope to cure the ills but I can tell you how
There's nothing he can do
I get the feeling that you're leading me on
Well today I tried to get you to tell me when you'd run away with me
But the words stuck in my throat
I finally spit it out, you looked at me with doubt and said "Run away with you?
Honey, better get my coat!"
I get the feeling that you're leadin' me on, Abigail
I get the feeling that you're leadin' me on, Abigail
I get the feeling that you're leadin' me on, Abigail
I get the feeling that you're leadin' me on

Tell It Like You Know
02:28
|

|
My, oh my, you just haven't begun
To see what it is you mean to me
And nobody knows why
I'm feelin' insecure as hell, I'm feelin' well when you're near me
Well it's a blue-streaked day
Your smile impelled me to say
There ain't nothin' more that I can see
To make me understand how the music in my eyes has made me wise and I wanna be
Let your mountain pastures grow
And tell it like you know
Let your body show
What's growin' deep inside
Well it's a windswept day
My heart's been stolen away
Whenever there are words that I can't speak
You know I'll never let them go, I feel like you should know what's in my heart and I'll let it show
Well if ya call on me
When you do you will see
The breath of my life will rhyme with you
And everyone will say, "Together we whave made the sun shine through and then cleared the way."
Let your mountain pastures grow
And tell it like you know
Let your body show
What's growin' deep inside

Sit yourself down Mr. Company
Please remember the storm you see
It's been such a long time
Sit back and please drink some wine
Up from the storm it has been born
There is no reason to feel forlorn
'Bout the light in your eyes
It's trying to make you feel wise
Ba pa da da, da da ba pa da da
Ba pa da da, da da ba pa da da
Let me tell you why
I am willing to try

Comin' Late
03:00
|

Speak now or come in late
Blow your mind and leave the state
Come back another day
You won't have enough to say
My, how long will it take till you see me?
Look, I'm a man, I'm in need, don't you tease me
Look now and don't pretend
Don't say that you're my friend
Unless you really care
Then we'll make love everywhere
My, how long will it take till you see me?
Look, I'm a man, I'm in need, don't you tease me
Anyway I will find
The reasons for you leavin' me behind
And I know what you said
You're sayin' that you're thinkin' that I'm dead
Can't you see what's comin' down
Everyone is takin' me for a clown

Upside Down
02:35

Oh, the decisions of life I have to make
Been runnin' everywhere in town, I know what it takes
It rains, it snows, it pours down upon my head
I've got to leave this dirty old town before I'm lying dead
Ah, the pace is too quick
It's gonna make me sick
Let's turn the world upside down
Say mister, can you help me? Could you spare a dime?
I know I may be askin' too much, but I'm runnin' out of time
Today's the day and I've got to catch the train
I'm leavin' on the 3 o'clock catch before I go insane
Ah, the pace is too quick
It's gonna make me sick
Let's turn the world upside down

Let A Young Man Cry
03:46
|
|||
|
I'd finally found what I'd been lookin' for
And once more
I opened the door to see the empty streets
Where did we meet?
Where did we shake hands and greet?
And say that we were everything to eachother, nothing excluded.
But pain was the song that I wrote for you
And it's true
That our love is fading into an empty stare
So come on let a young man cry and vow
That he won't retrace his steps
To try to stand up and shout it now
How long will it take to tell
About what I knew so well
When I looked in your eyes to see deep a million skies
There are many more whys
To count thru this disguise
And say that we were everything to eachother, nothing excluded.
And our love is fading into an empty stare
So come on let a young man cry and vow
That he won't retrace his steps
To try to stand up and shout it now

Words

Words are something that continue to make it hard to speak
And don't you know the foundation is becoming mighty weak?
Empires fall to gain the world
And I don't know why it is
That everything I've said till now
Has fallen apart somehow
All the words in any book
Can't explain the reasons
Why it took
Me so long to see
Over and over, I've thought about it
I tried to understand how it got so out of hand
Now if these words do seem a bit trite and out of place
Know that deep within this tome I cultivate my race
Empires fall to gain the world
And I don't know why it is
That everything I've said till now
Has fallen apart somehow
All the words in any book
Can't explain the reasons
Why it took
Me so long to see
