Find My Way Home
And when The Byrds are about to sing
That’s when the telephone will ring
The leaves have turned your favorite brown
We’ll watch them fall to the ground
Find my way home
I’ve got to find my way home
I need to find my way home
It’s time to find my way home
And when the sky is full of stars
That’s when the dreams are far
And when the air chills to the bone
It’s good to know we’re not alone
Find my way home
I’ve got to find my way home
I need to find my way home
It’s time to find my way home
And when you wear my sweater home
That’s when I’ll wish I’d known
I didn’t even have a pen
We might not meet again

Black Light
Linda was nobody’s fool
She knew just what she wanted
She liked to feel she was her own boss
She said “if you got it you should flaunt it”
Living alone now but never lonely
She had a lot of plastic cards and shoes
Taking it day by day now
Nothing ventured nothing gained
Black light sets the scene
Living on a stage
Television dream
Money and power
With the weather getting warmer
Linda works had on her tan
She wears the latest in bikinis
She gets a gig close to the sand
Now she’s waiting every day now
Looking for the perfect man
There’s a picture it looks just like him
On a billboard in Toronto
Black light sets the scene
Living on a stage
Television dream
Money and power
Alright gentlemen pedal to the metal
Next up on stage
All the way from upstairs
Our finest new dancer
Get ready for a taste of Candy
Black light sets the scene
Living on a stage
Television dream
Money and power

Let’s Move On
Well when I see all the trouble in the world
You know it makes me try to get along the best I can
And when I hear all the problems of the world
you know I realize that we need to understand
That it’s time to move on
And rewrite history
We don’t need world war three
So let’s move on
Well when I hear you say there’s nothing in your life
To make you want to try to make the world a better place
That’s when I see that there’s so much that we want
We may never have likely don’t need anyway
Well it’s time to move on
And rewrite history
There won’t be world war three
So let’s move on
Good news happens all the time
Bad news is rare
So if it bleeds it leads
Front page and on the air
Well when I see all the trouble in the world
You know it makes me try to get along the best I can
And when I see all the problems of the world
You know I realize that we need to understand
So let’s move on time to move on
Yeah let’s move on time to move on

Live The Good Life
What were you thinking?
As you sped off out of control
What did you rake in?
After you set the fire
Now have to hold the line
Cause we live the good life
I’m sure she’ll let us know
In her hour of need
We reap just what we sow
Just need to plant the seeds
Sure it’s cold sometimes
But we live the good life
What were you drinkin’?
When you gambled the lot
The ship was sinkin’
It’s main street that will lose
Now have to hold the line
Sure it’s cold sometimes
Now we have to hold the line
Cause we live the good life
Live the good life
Live the good life

Dance With Her Once

She’s, she’s got me now
Yeah she’s, she’s got me now
Never before has anyone
Been this way before
If you could dance with her once
There would be no doubt
If you could dance with her once
You’d be down for the count
She’s, she’s got control
Yeah she’s, she’s got the controls
She’s taking a chance
Moving across the floor
Yeah she’s taking a chance on love
You can do it, get down to it
She’s got your number now
She’s, she’s got it all
Yeah she’s, she’s got it all
All of the goods
Just like she should
You would if you could, yes you would
If you would dance with her once
She’s what it’s all about
Yeah you should dance with her once
You’d be ready to shout
If you could dance with her once
There would be no doubt
If you could dance with her once
You’d be down for the count

Come Out From the River

Come Out From The River
Somewhere along the journey
She lost the sense of a respect for life
The path has been sketchy and broken
Handled problems with a knife
Power isn’t in hurting a person
Control isn’t committing these crimes
Taken to her darkest places
Thinks that nobody cares is she dies
Come out from the river, or I’ll come down to find you
Come out from the river
It’s not something supposed to happen
You never expect to lose the young
The wrong place at the destined time
Everyone said her life had just begun
Never knew she’d be the victim
Tried to fit in but didn’t fight
She had friends except for one
That one journey ended on that night
Come out from the river, or I’ll come down to find you
Come out from the river, and carry on the rest of the way
She is finally free
She doesn’t have to run
Beyond this life
Her spirit carries on
Come out from the river, or I’ll come down to find you
Come out from the river, and we’ll have love the rest of the way
Come out from the river, or I’ll come down to find you
Come out from the river, your heart will shine the rest of the way
Come out from the river
Come out from the river

Powerwall
Come on come on come and see what I got
You might not need it but I know you want it
Come on come on come and see what I sell
Come and see what I sell
Step up step up step a little closer
I won’t bite you but you don’t know for sure
Step up step up step slip a little closer
Slip a little closer
It’s the powerwall talkin’
Stand up to it
Just look away just walk away
Come on come on come and get the feelin’
I know you want it and I know you’re needin’
Come on come on come and get the feelin’
Come and get what ya need
Come on come on come and see what I got
You might not need it but I know you want it
Come on come on come and see what I sell
Come and see what I sell

Help Wanted

Help Wanted
Hotels are full and that’s their luck
Everyone’s happy to make a buck
Fifty inch screen and a brand new truck
Help wanted we’ve come to cash in
Help wanted getting rich ain’t a sin
Help wanted but we might do the planet in
The locals learn to look past the wells
Beyond the lakes of toxic spills
Wondering why their leader’s asleep at the wheel?
Help wanted we’ve come to cash in
Help wanted getting rich ain’t a sin
Help wanted but we’re not making many friends
Pounding the soil both night and day
And when it’s all gone we’ll be on our way
Help wanted big money always wins
Help wanted seems how it’s always been
Help wanted but we’re not making many friends
Help wanted we’ve come to cash in
Help wanted getting rich ain’t a sin
Help wanted but we might do the planet in

Make More Money
It’s not religion to be rolling in green
But we all need it just to get away clean
It’s necessary if you’re under the gun
Do I need everything that’s under the sun?
Make more money money come on
Make more money money alright
Make more money money come on
Make more money money oh yeah let’s go
With or without it we can lose all touch
With love and nature, magic and such
What’s good for you may not be what it’s about
There’s stuff we want so we just have to shout
It all sounds fine
To use the power of will
Until I get the mail and open the bills
Yeah it sounds fine
Three jobs just ain’t enough for this kind of life
How much do we need to get us by?
Some people tell me we just need love and faith
Not let it get us down and give in to hate
My guru’s ravin’ on and on at great length
The bank he draws from is inner strength
Make more money

All The Time In The World
It seems we never get enough
Of what we don’t really want
But can we see the beauty?
We want to own the world
We want to possess the world
While looking for substitutes
We need to see the beauty
Sustainable fashion
Don’t wait, get involved
Change the world
The earth has all the time in the world
The earth has all the time in the world
The earth has all the time in the world
And we don’t
On whose side are you on?
Out there behind the wheel
Trying to stay between the lines
With all that’s at stake
We need to know the truth
The earth has all the time in the world
The earth has all the time in the world
The earth has all the time in the world
And we don’t

Price I Pay
I gotta drive on the road and smell all the cars
I gotta check all the news to see if life is on mars
I gotta get up early and stay up late
I gotta do my yoga and meditate
But that’s the price I pay for freedom
Yeah that’s the price I pay
To be free
I gotta eat organic and refine my tastes
I gotta text my wife because I’m runnin’ late
I gotta work all day and hope for more
I gotta make some popcorn and watch Al Gore
But that’s the price I pay
For freedom
Yeah that’s the price I pay
To be free
I gotta workout weigh-in get ripped and buff
I gotta have no sense when enough is enough
I gotta go to the movies graffiti the wall
I gotta buy on line and go hang out at the mall
But that’s the price I pay
For freedom
Yeah that’s the price I pay
To be free
