All The Things We Need 07:01

ALL THE THINGS WE NEED I was lost on a fault line Lonely and scattered and crying like rain Until I heard a voice from inside Guide me and ride me to a place without pain Where I could fly and be beside you It's a such a trip to be so free Don't you know that all the things we need are right here Tap in to the wormhole that connects us to any time All the things we need are right here And they've always been here for us to share Especially when we do not need them Like a sun flare dancing cross-eyed It's beaming and bending exciting the waves It's like a telepathic truth guide Loving and singing and pointing the way Giving up is not an option when it's time you will break through the wall Then you'll fly through any mountain It's such a trip to be so free Don't you know that all the things we need are right here Tap in to the wormhole that connects us to any time All the things we need are right here And they've always been here for us to share Well, Giving up is not an option when it's time you will break through the wall Then you'll fly through any mountain It's such a trip to be so free Don't you know that all the things we need are right here Tap in to the wormhole that connects us to any time All the things, my friend are right here And they've always been here for us to find What's that I hear them singing? : Lo Be Hold The Watchdog - yeah - (I still feel the pull - I still feel the sway) Lo Be Hold The Watchdog - yeah (I still feel the pull - I still feel the sway)

Questions Keep Getting Deeper 08:48

QUESTIONS KEEP GETTING DEEPER Lo Behold the watchdog yeah - ho... Lo' behold the watchdog yeah? Lo Behold the watchdog yeah - ho... Lo' behold the watchdog yeah? Many times we’ve been stranded here when the water gets too high Pay respects to eternity waiting for a hopeful sign Well the questions keep getting deeper as perfection swells the tide As the answers smile the wise old child within us flies And the questions keep getting deeper Sons and daughters out to sea As the aeons ebb and flow The answers will unfold Many ships will have traveled here in the name of many gods Charting clues, bobbing up ahead where the even meets the odd Where the questions keep getting deeper as perfection swells the tide As the answers smile the wise old child within us flies And the questions keep getting deeper Sons and daughters out to sea As the aeons ebb and flow The answers will unfold How long is on and on? How long for the dead and gone? Well these questions keep getting deeper as perfection swells the tide As the answers smile the wise old child within us flies And the questions keep getting deeper Sons and daughters out to sea As the aeons ebb and flow The answers will unfold As the aeons ebb and flow The answers will unfold How long is on and on? How long for the dead and gone? As the aeons ebb and flow The answers will unfold How long?

Line By Line 04:19

LINE BY LINE Too many lines for to follow but I’m tired of parallel I wanna close the gap and open a new line Curling around these empty spaces on this funny infinity sign I wanna hold your hand and start on a new line I’ll write a book I’ll write a poem I’ll write a song alright alright It’s not enough I’ll write a letter right a wrong I’ll draw a picture Line by Line... And all along I’ve been following traces weaving them line by line And all along I’ve looking in faces wondering what I see, remembering Line by I’ll write a book I’ll write a poem I’ll write a song alright alright It’s not enough I’ll write a letter right a wrong I’ll draw a picture

Befriend The Watchdog 03:40
lyrics

BEFRIEND THE WATCHDOG You’re not a prisoner here down on the ground Things might look bad but all is well But you have questions here about a sound Why does the moon ring like a bell? A myth or ancient rumor will bear itself out sooner or later We’ll just have to wait No dark to run from here, the monsters are all found Some change to angels I can tell Befriend the watchdog here and learn to love this hound Create a heaven from this hell Depression, frustration, the tie to abrasions grow If you feed them with lies But I hope you’re way too smart to drive down that road The tears that well in your eyes should be used to water dreams of love A chance to rise above, survey this land Continue up out of this shell You can’t believe how far now, with your hands, you make the moon ring like a bell The watchdog sends this message A wise and final vestige howl…

The Big Conclusion 06:34
lyrics

THE BIG CONCLUSION Here we were together tracing problems in the sand Stuck for some solutions and that got you mad You said our relationship was a pointless waste of time Why were we together We must have been blind, but keep in mind It's the journey not the destination that matters in the end But we're waiting for the big conclusion everyday of our lives It's the journey not the destination that keeps us on the edge to survive But when the bus stops rolling another journey arrives You and I are different planets each with different gifts We would take from one another like twins That instant magic - rare attraction had friends roll on the floor Our brand of humor will leave their memories with smiles and all the while It's the journey not the destination that matters in the end But we're waiting for the big conclusion everyday of our lives It's the journey not the destination that keeps us on the edge to survive But when the bus stops rolling another journey arrives All this time you're wondering where you're going to It's a mystery to me and a mystery to you Well, I love a mystery Do you love a mystery too? Onward motion, like the ocean waves to us goodbye Our trip is done it's time to make other plans, so understand It's the journey not the destination that matters in the end But we're waiting for the big conclusion everyday of our lives It's the journey not the destination that keeps us on the edge to survive But when the bus stops rolling another journey arrives

Driving On The Left Side Of America (demo) 03:59
lyrics

DRIVING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF AMERICA If you always take a hit every time you cry Every time you try to be understood Know you're not alone when the fear strikes home When the deepest cut spares the weakest bone Some say truck on straight And your life line will fine meaning Driving on the left side in America Looking for the sunshine in the rain Driving on the left side in America Is it all in vain? Now some call me a fool 'cause they disagree 'Cause they can not see where I want to be But I will stand behind my faults And shelter all the thoughts that are real to me You know that I won't break I have to trust my feelings I'm driving on the left side in America Looking for the sunshine in the rain Driving on the left side in America Just looking for an exit from all this pain I'm driving on the left side in America Is it all in vain? Well, somehow - somehow I'll get through Got nothing to lose - except maybe my sanity Well, it's a risk that's hard to swallow but it's the only one I know It leaves me no suspicions when I sleep at night Leaves my intuitions in a state of light I'm driving on the left side in America Looking for the sunshine in the rain Driving on the left side in America There's gotta be an exit from all this pain I'm driving on the left side in America Looking for the sunshine in the rain Driving on the left side in America Is it all in vain? Please tell me Is it all in vain? I really want to know Is it all in vain?
