1: NOTHIN' FROM YOU
The driest desert I stumble through
Where is my baby? I just need a clue
Me and my music you know I'll survive
Hanging by a thread just getting by
My life is flying like a whirlwind
I know what I want so I don't feel this way
I don't want nothin' from you
I just want my girl and you know she wants me too
Shows every night I can't play anymore
We choose this life it's not easy out on tour
There's only one thing, one thing to do
I gotta come home, home to you
So many nights are spent restless
I know what I need so I don't feel this way
I don't need nothin' from you
I just need my girl and you know she needs me too
I don't want nothin' from you
I just want my girl and you know she wants me too
(Repeat)
2: FRIENDS ARE GOOD
Friends are good
Some people use them up like food
Others come and kill the mood
Act a fool and make you fume
Friends are there
To laugh when you fall down the stairs
To sprinkle cheese on your favorite soup
Through your underwear drawer they will snoop
Can't talk too much or too little (too little)
Left and fried right on the griddle (on the griddle)
Trapped inside a package deal (deal)
How to remove one and leave the rest?
Fine one day till someone says different (different)
Must have no backbone or grit (or grit)
How real was it all along? (all along)
Thrown away with the tongs
Friends will go
Make you third wheel, drag you in tow (drag you in tow)
Show you to the depths of their mind
Leave you waiting not quite on time
Friends beware
Keep on moving don't get caught in the snare
A lot of people are here in the world
Take someone and give them a twirl
Wait too long and it feels strange
Round and round it spins
Hope I get the right one
Doesn't work then onto the next
Not everything has to be correct (correct)
Didn't feel right but getting used to it now (now)
Felt like a space alien standing among them
Walking like there's a bubble around you
3: MESSAGES
Don't hate your brother
Because they listen to different messages than you
No
Come and watch as the young ones cry
The tough ones try and the old ask why
There are these messages
Fill up my brain with lies
Everything I do is crime
Can't speak your true feelings
Don't wanna be expelled
The illusion of popularity
Coupled with a false prosperity
Going the wrong direction
Judged based solely on complexion
Don't listen to the messages
Truth is not important to most of them
Reset and find your inner self
Search for more than material wealth
Day to day I'm weary
Influences come from all sides
Can't see the future clearly
But feel it's just a matter of time
The anointing oil is there to take
Seeming biased or just plain fake
If your spirit tells you no
Listen up it might be so
Don't listen to the messages
Truth is not important to most of them
Reset and find your inner self
Search for more than material wealth
4: LOVE EXPRESS
Your love takes me so far away
I don't want it another way
My inner spirit has been set alight
Eradicated my unfortunate plight
I won't come back
Flying swiftly I will not come down
Slipped and fell right into the trough
You make me feel like I must be
The one who is and the one who must see
Let's leave now
You take me for a ride
Never been on this one before
We'll be gone all night
On the love express
Hurry don't be late
We were lost but now we're found
Got a one way ticket
On the love express
Your love takes me far away
I don't care what they have to say
Trying my best to go slow
But you pull me in with your undertow
I can't get out
Come and go here as you please
Search for you up in the trees
Return to me now why don't you try
It's time to go now say goodbye
It's time to go
You take me for a ride
Never been on this one before
We'll be gone all night
On the love express
Hurry don't be late
We were lost but now we're found
Got a one way ticket
On the love express
(Repeat)
5: BAAL-PERAZIM (BREAKTHROUGH)
So close now, but so far away
Baby help me understand
I try to get through and you know it too
Is this all a part of your plan?
My love is flowing but you dam it up
And take all my hopes away
You think you know who you're dealing with
But this game I know how to play
Breakthrough
I feel it coming soon
A breakthrough
Baby what do I have to do?
To breakthrough
I feel it coming soon
A breakthrough
Baby what do I have to do?
This feelings taking me over
While you bask in the breeze
I pick a four leaf clover
My luck will bring you to me
You've got me trapped
There's no going back
I always finish what I have begun
You make me feel this way I need you today
So hop on in, let's have some fun
There's only so much time to make you mine
Get up and get ready to go
We'll float on down to lovin' town
Just ride along with the flow
Breakthrough
I feel it coming soon
A breakthrough
Baby what do I have to do?
To breakthrough
I feel it coming soon
A breakthrough
Baby what do I have to do?
(Repeat)
6: UP AND DOWN
Some days go by slowly
Many years move by fast
Time is consistent surely
I must make the good ones last
Hear a whisper crawling
Nagging inside your mind
Push it far, far away
Become fully present in this time
Up and down
Life seems to remain this way
Lost and found
Fight through to keep your power in play
Up and down
Great feelings have a purpose just know
Sky to ground
To give the bad ones time to grow
Do not give in to this world of sin
Place your feet on solid rock
Mindless presences roaming aimless
Part company with the flock
Shifted reality portrayed through a computer screen
Uncontrollable thoughts skipping to and fro
Internalize your scream
There was a girl that I once knew
The feeling grew and grew
Then one day she pushed me away
I told her don't go
Up and down
Life seems to remain this way
Lost and found
Fight through to keep your power in play
Up and down
Great feelings have a purpose just know
Sky to ground
To give the bad ones time to grow
Exponential growth then falling
Downward to the ground
You hear the deceiver calling your soul
To the lost but never found
Peaks and valleys
Is there room in between
Stability comes and goes
Or to me at least it seems
Up and down
Life seems to remain this way
Lost and found
Fight through to keep your power in play
Up and down
Great feelings have a purpose just know
Sky to ground
To give the bad ones time to grow
(Repeat)
7: LOCKED UP
She's got me in timeout
What must I do to get out of here?
Locked the door and threw me out
Remaining this way is my biggest fear
My defense is nowhere to be found
Her best friend is the prosecutor
Life sentence but on what grounds?
I don't know the law I need a tutor
What are the charges against me?
She is the judge and jury
You got me locked up
Don't throw away the key
I'm trapped, I'm locked up
She refuses to set me free
I thought I was tough
But there's only so much I can take
She says my words are fluff
I promise I'm not a flake
Dug my way out but thrown back in
Was not even offered a plea deal
Always lose, impossible to win
What to get for my last meal?
Can you believe these erroneous claims?
Cards are all stacked against me
Can't appeal what a shame
I'm committed too late to flee
What are the charges against me?
She is the judge and jury
You got me locked up
Don't throw away the key
I'm trapped I'm locked up
She refuses to set me free
I thought I was tough
But there's only so much I can take
She says my words are fluff
I promise I'm not a flake
I gotta get outta here
I can't take anymore
Hey, hey you over there
Throw me a rope
You got me locked up
Don't throw away the key
I'm trapped, I'm locked up
She refuses to set me free
I thought I was tough
But there's only so much I can take
She says my words are fluff
I promise I'm not a flake
8: MAGIC MUSIC MAN
Can you feel the power?
The thunder of the beat
Mixing with the crowd
Enjoying the heat
Cruising 100 miles an hour
No way you'll miss this show
Rain or shine
You know we've got to go
Feel the tension in the air
He's coming for you beware of the...
Magic music man
Come and see the band
It's not country and it's not glam
Listen to the music man
He needs some lady attention
Not gonna wait 10 years like for a pension
Let him set you free
Come over here he knows what you need
Do you wanna pick the guitar?
Maybe you can pluck the bass
Perhaps the keys are more your style
Why don't you go and bang on those drums?
Feel the tension in the air
He's coming for you beware of the...
He's coming for you
I am the magic music man
I am the magic music man
Thought I saw you at the show last night
Could you feel the rumble in the building?
Everyone could feel it too
Something different
A different type of energy
As if history was being made
The magic was there
Feel the tension in the air
It's coming for you beware of the...
Magic music
It's been called dope, it's been called sick
Loud sound is what you need
Vibrations the things of dreams
Play a festival or a great show
Or just in your room and let it flow
Get down it's not a crime
There is just this night to make you mine
Magic music man
You will feel the music slam
They love him in Japan
The stands are filled with fans
Where did he go?
To a place where nobody knows
He'll look you in the eye
Leave you amazed and asking why
9: ALWAYS SOMETHING
Why does it seem like?
Like I just can't catch a break
People brush me aside
Like a leaf from a rake
Combative people causing issues
Want to fly up and hide
Behind an asteroid far beyond the Milky Way
Do you feel bored?
Like you need a change?
Down the line everything may get rearranged
There's always something
Whether you win or you lose
There's always something
Always something to prove
I keep on trying
Cause what else can I do?
You can't say this place
Ain't got nothing for you
Your feet are stuck in the mud
From your problems you want
To get up and run
When one is taken care of
Then another prevails
The week drags on and on so slow
Like a snail
Do you feel bored?
Like you need a change?
Down the line everything may get rearranged
There's always something
There's always some way to improve
Wake up and be grateful
Cause you've got nothing to lose
I keep on trying
Cause what else can I do?
You can't say this place
Has got nothing for you
10: MONEY FOR THE MAN
Running all around
The reason why nobody even knows
I know the answers are drawing near
Thought I heard someone say
We're all making
Money for the man
Don't play into their wicked plan
Money for the man
Be happy now, tomorrow is too late
Money for the man
Don't play into their wicked plan
Money for the man
Be happy now, tomorrow is too late
Early in the morning
Before the sun starts to shine
Sometimes it can seem like
There is never enough time
Oh don't you worry
There will be another day
To do what you dream
And say what you have to say
Money for the man
Don't play into their wicked plan
Money for the man
Be happy now, tomorrow is too late
Money for the man
Don't play into their wicked plan
Money for the man
Be happy now, tomorrow is too late
Tomorrow is too late
