Wings Of The Phoenix The world appears to be coming unravelled The only constant thing is change Feel like I'm losing my direction The more I fight the greater the pain I look inside try to get a grip on Many feelings not understood Do you owe me do I owe you Feels like a question of whether we should New Millennium is riding on the wings of the Phoenix Creative transformation is upon us Let the feeling blast right through you Invite the energy to thrive inside you Time to do what we really want to do On the wings of the Phoenix Tried so hard to find the answers Was I just spinning my wheels Need some time so I don't go crazy Bond what I've learned to how it feels Dissolve the chains that hold me down Obligation disappears Act outside of expectation Grind away that mountain of tears New Millennium is riding on the wings of the Phoenix Creative transformation is upon us Let the feeling blast right through you Invite the energy to thrive inside you Time to do what we really want to do On the wings of the Phoenix On the wings of the Phoenix (throat singing) What Are You Waiting For Surrounded by trees, plush moist so alive Bee carries nectar, from the flower to the hive Deer in the meadow, secure in this space It's here for you to share, a natural embrace What are you waiting for? Spread your arms wide, let the wind blow in Open up your heart, as you shed your ancient skin Skyclad in the Sun, makes you feel free Every simple joy becomes a revelry What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? Walking in the creek, hawk soaring over head Cool flowing water can wake you from the dead Love is a place, not something that we do A vibrant oasis, where you can run away with you What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? What was I waiting for? Imagination Maiden I centered my mind on the edge of time Nobody else's business but mine Don't you say, that you did this to me There's no way, I would let that be Center your body on the edge of mine Join me I'll keep you in line So you won't stray, Or go away, you be in my trap to stay Imagination maiden, you're the only one for my heart When you say you have your own life You really make me want to start Loving you, that much more, that's what I'm here for Don't turn that mirror, in another direction It's not really you, it's just a reflection Of how you fee, so fess up to What is real, it's got a hold on you. Imagination maiden, you're the only one for my heart When you say you have your own life You really make me want to start Loving you, that much more, that's what I'm here for There's no strings attached, you see what I'm holdin' Don't laugh in my face, I outta give you a scolding For what you said, that you would rather be, Dead, than go along with me Imagination maiden, you're the only one for my heart When you say you have your own life You really make me want to start Loving you, that much more, that's what I'm here for Culprit There's a burglar in the night and it wants to take our lives What it doesn't know our lives aren't up for grabs. Stealth and cold as night it crawls into our rooms Chips away the structures of our dreams. I've heard it all before told in stories and in books How just one man can rape or free a lang But there's no scapegoats to be found in this dry and withered ground The problem lies in trying to be free There's a culprit on the streets, must we forfeit in our prime The things we truly only let them take Cement mountains majesty and our children walk the beat To gaseous lights and people that are fake Can't we escape the freeze of our own mentalities Fear hides in everything we do It clouds illusive minds and tarnishes our hearts By creating the visions we can't see There's a culprit on the streets, must we forfeit in our prime The things we truly only let them take Cement mountains majesty and our children walk the beat To gaseous lights and people that are fake A Soldier's Song At seventeen I took up arms against the terrors in the world I served my country and I practiced war and learned the horror it unfurls Shared with other soldiers, no war story the same But always in their eyes, a spark of hope remains I have my own mind, I know my heart, I'm not afraid to try Stop a war before it starts I've grown to be a man of peace, yet I understand the need Warriors must carry on, but we don't need to bleed To keep our country strong, protect ourselves, Provide our children, peace and common wealth I have my own mind, I know my heart, I'm not afraid to try Stop a war before it starts At seventeen I took up arms against the terrors in the world I served my country and I'm proud of that, I pray our leaders will learn To have their own minds, know their hearts, be brave enough to try Stop a war before it starts Passing For Middle-class Three piece suit dinner for two hardly any money left To get to work every day That don't worry me none, you gotta do the best you can You might not be here tomorrow Passing for middle-class is all I know How to buy it now and pay for it later Living the good live ain't nothing to wait for Oh land of milk and honey don't ever let me be poor I've been payin' out the ass for a car that I might own some day Just another hobby of mine I got two rooms in my condo with no furniture Going to have to keep the doors shut Passing for middle-class is all I know How to buy it now and pay for it later Living the good live ain't nothing to wait for Oh land of milk and honey don't ever let me be poor The haberdashery is on fire tonight, had a hat on lay-a-way Got a home entertainment center next to my king size bed Going to stay home and get blown away Passing for middle-class is all I know How to buy it now and pay for it later Living the good live ain't nothing to wait for Oh land of milk and honey don't ever let me be poor Dog Gone World Marvelous sage in a no-man's land, doesn't have the sense to start his own band Eatin', drinkin', smokin' all that he can, says' it's all just part of the plan It's a dog-gone world and no-one's to blame Something's different, something's the same He would have left you if not for the pain Just watch out for that old cocaine She could smell a flea in heat on a dog's ass Tell whether you're courting a lad or a lass See the future and read about the past Some say, she's really fast It's a dog-gone world and no-one's to blame Something's different, something's the same She would have left you but it started to rain She's so mature to be insane Who is this couple I'm singing about Are they tall, short, skinny or stout If you can catch them please don't let 'em out The talk to loud, don't forget to shout It's a dog-gone world and no-one's to blame Something's different, something's the same They would have left each but nothing to gain Between the two of them, only one brain Jack-hammer Blues I've got those jack-hammer blues, slammin' that rock it's true (x2) When your rock ain't been smoothed out, nobody's lovin' you I work hard early in the morning, sometimes till late at night (x2) Ain't nobody better than you, and you bet I know that's right At noon I get a phone call, that's when you say you're bringing it to me (x2) You got something for me, and I'm sure it's good to eat I've got those jack-hammer blues, slammin' that rock it's true (x2) But I don't mind slammin' that rock, I'm so in love with you MC Shuffle (m. charles) (live) Driving down the highway, looking for a place to stay 'Car's about to over-heat, and I need me something to eat I play the blues in an acoustic (rock 'n' roll) band But the people they don't understand Got my guitar in the back seat I don't care if I over-heat, singing The KC shuffle (MC shuffle), with a guitar in my hand The KC shuffle, with a guitar in my hand Found myself a country town, where's there's not so many people around Sold my car don't need much money, it's kinda slow here to get around All you see is memories, staring at you up that main street All I do is play my guitar I don't care if I don't get to far, singing The KC shuffle (MC shuffle), with a guitar in my hand The KC shuffle, with a guitar in my hand I Know That's Right (live) Well, you say I'm no good not worth a cent I work to hard now my back is bent I lay on the couch you give me hell Then you ask what I have to say for myself I know that's right, yeah I know that's right I just want your lovin' 'don't want to fight, so I say I know that's right Climb that ladder as fast as you can Please start here with the garbage man Ya say you're tired of foolin' around Don't I think it's time that we get down, down I know that's right, yeah I know that's right I just want your lovin' 'don't want to fight, so I say I know that's right Life gets hard what can you do When it seems like everybody's pickin' on you Well I might lay around that house all day But I'll bet nobody else can love you this way, you say I know that's right, yeah I know that's right You just want my lovin' 'don't want to fight, so I say I know that's right So you told me to get up off of my back And you let me know just where's it at Say your ready to make a that climb You don't think I want to be left behind I know that's right, yeah I know that's right I just want your lovin' 'don't want to fight, so I say I know that's right Long Way To Go (m. charles) (live) Searching, is something we all seem to do To go on, live the better life Giving, is something we all should do But we seem to take more than we can choose It's such a long way to go And I'm going to make it on my own It's such a long way to go And I'm going to make it on my own Loving is something we all go through Some with pain but all the same a thing called love Dieing, it's such a mystery too But all the same we all have to take it as part of that game It's such a long way to go And I'm going to make it on my own It's such a long way to go And I'm going to make it on my own Above song lyrics © 1988 - 2008, all rights reserved. |

Tattooed Lady Iron hard muscles and smooth armor skin, Her eyes are tough above a chrome=plated chin. She speaks of power with a steel pierced tongue, Don't mess with this beauty she'll bang your gong. chorus She's a tattooed Lady in the circus of the World, Super strong woman, never been a little girl. She doesn't want to know a man but one day she might, If she ever finds one she can't beat in a fight. She doesn't want to know a man but maybe she will, If she ever finds one she doesn't want to kill! Chorus If I was ever to have a go with this chick, She would have to think I'm a super trick. So I ate a dozen roses and swung from the trees, She slugged me in the gut and dropped me to my knees. Chorus She didn't want to know a man I didn't have a chance, I would die try'n' to be her first romance. She didn't want to know a man and put up a fight, But she's mine now you see with a T.K.O. last night. Chorus - x2 I'm High Sun shinin' through the window, I'm leanin' on the bed Visions of you woman are welcome in my head, and I Wanna hold you close, 'wanna share your hopes an' I'll be patient. I know that's just the way it is. chorus I'm high, cuz you want to be with me and I know you can go it on your own I'm high, even when you're not with me, it's a Love like I've never known The smile that you're wearin', the feelings that you show Actin' ain't pretendin', just try to let go, and I'll Walk by your side, don't let your heart hide, we'll go flyin' Let me say that's just the way it is Chorus My freedom and my loved ones, my music and my song You complete the picture, and help to make me strong I want the same thing for you girl, open to a peaceful world I love you Mmmmmmmm that's the way it is. Chorus x2 I'm high, I'm high, I'm HIGH CRICKET SONG She's a spinner of the fire, spirit of the land She's a spinner of the fire, spirit of the land Loves her freedom, shares it when she can Vast like a valley, wind whippin' willow Vast like a valley, wind whippin' willow Soft as a flower, you might never know chorus Drummers throbbing heartbeats, come along Fire keeper singing her cricket song. Drummers throbbing heartbeats, come along Fire keeper singing her cricket song. Shy but courageous, she feels it when it's right Shy but courageous, she feels it when it's right Dancin' in the full moon, shakin' 'round the fire-light She loves her family, nothin' put above She loves her family, nothin' put above Strength of a mountain, gentle mother love Chorus Beautiful woman, no-one ever owns Beautiful woman, no-one ever owns I love her so much, thrills me to the bones Chorus x 2 Freaky Place I found a way to make the birds sing at night They felt so safe with me, safe with me I made an old dog start chasing her tail The postman walked right by, walked right by chorus And the world is an upside down try to loose a frown on your face, freaky place Around the sun we spin a while try to find a smile love embrace bridge It's all for me, not just for me, My family, Human race, freaky place I led a horse to water and made him think he was so thirsty, so thirst Today my father told me "I love you" He never did that, never before Chorus I formed a baseball team at the arcade We're called the conquerors, conquerors I talked a teenager out of suicide Now she's my best friend, my best friend Chorus x2 Thick Socks I met a girl so nice to see, her figure looked just right to me But she got uptight cuz I couldn't stop starin' and I Don't know why but she started yellin' chorus My legs aren't fat I just got thick socks They don't interfere with the way I walk My legs aren't fat I just got Thick socks, clear up to here I said, Let me tell you somethin' before I book The problem isn't with the way you look You could use a little more meat on your bones She said, "To late to flatter me, just take me home, cuz chorus My legs aren't fat I just got thick socks They don't interfere with the way I walk My legs aren't fat I just got Thick socks, clear up to here I said, Come on baby let's get somethin' straight Jump up here so I can guess your weight In the skinny competition you've won the race so Let's take off those socks before they rub my face, wow chorus Your legs aren't fat you just got thick socks They don't interfere with the way you walk Your legs aren't fat you just got Thick socks, clear up to here Now and then we think back on those younger days When we fell in love tryin' to guess her weight She gets a quiet smile of the fond memory of How she got uptight and yelled at me chorus My legs aren't fat I just got thick socks They don't interfere with the way I walk My legs aren't fat I just got Thick socks, clear up to here Clear up to here Clear up to here Clear up to here Don't Get Drunk There's a party tonight and I've checked all my gear, I got mint's in my pocket and some artificial tears If the fun police find out what we plan to do There's a designated driver makin' sure we're cool, An' there'll be food and beer, fun and cheer, laughter all around Music and dancin' and groovin' to the sound Tomorrow we can sleep in it ain't no crime Take my momma's advice and we'll have a great time Don't get drunk, don't get dumb, don't get dead It's the most important rhyme momma ever said, She said leave your car at home, use your head instead Don't get drunk, don't get dumb, don't get dead All we need to make is a plan to get home I save ten bucks and call a taxi on the phone, 'Cause drivin' and drinkin' ain't what I call fun It's like Russian roulet with a fully loaded gun Don't get drunk, don't get dumb, don't get dead It's the most important rhyme momma ever said, She said leave your car at home, use your head instead Don't get drunk, don't get dumb, don't get dead I guess you all are wonderin' how this story ends, Well we drank with awareness and survived with all our friends But our party was special so be careful everytime There are other people drivin' who don't know momma's rhyme Don't get drunk, don't get dumb, don't get dead It's the most important rhyme momma ever said, She said leave your car at home, use your head instead Don't get drunk, don't get dumb, don't get dead Above song lyrics © 1988 - 2008, all rights reserved. |

NEW MAN If I ask the right question will the answer come? If I walk a good path can I still have fun? Hardest battle that was ever won. I must remember as Long as I'm searching I'll always be free Before I die I want to celebrate me! I'm only as rich as I can afford To give away is it's own reward Might come back and make me feel adored I must remember as Long as I'm searching I'll always be free Before I die I want to celebrate me! The Earth holds the secrets The spirit guides the soul Mind is the tool New Man is the goal The Earth holds the secrets The spirit guides the soul Mind is the tool New Man is the goal I can't do it when I'm dead, those Little things that help my head Like making love until we break the bed I must remember as Long as I'm searching I'll always be free Before I die I want to celebrate me! Once I dreamt that I was awake Pushed past the limit I couldn't find the brake Was it a blessing or just a mistake? I must remember as Long as I'm searching I'll always be free Before I die I want to celebrate me! The Earth holds the secrets The spirit guides the soul Mind is the tool New Man is the goal The Earth holds the secrets The spirit guides the soul Mind is the tool New Man is the goal Long as I'm searching I'll always be free Before I die I want to celebrate me! The Earth holds the secrets The spirit guides the soul Mind is the tool New Man is the goal SAVE OUR MOMMA She's big and round, green and blue Innocent love for me and you I'm wondering what we're gonna do Clean up our act, pull her through Save Earth, save our, momma Save Earth, save our, momma Save Earth, save our, momma Save Earth, save our, momma From the mountains high to the valley low We gotta help everything to grow She used to do it on her own Now we've gone and messed up our Lovely home Save Earth, save our, momma Save Earth, save our, momma Save Earth, save our, momma Save Earth, save our, momma I'm asking you to give her love I always want to see those stars above Oh momma give us another chance Sing a song and do our dance Clear rivers, clean air It's not to late so don't despair Jus' treat her right, she'll be fair Besides, there's no where else to go but here Save Earth, save our, momma Save Earth, save our, momma Save Earth, save our, momma Save Earth, save our, momma GOOD BAD EXAMPLE Brother on the other side of the world We used to call them the reds Can we just ignore Tiananmen Square How many kids there are dead To be rich is glorious It's a democratic sign If you give a little you better give a lot Happiness ain't no fine line Tell the man we're Tired of a good bad example Let's show them what freedom means Tell the man we're Tired of a good bad example Let's show them what peace means It's the youth of the world That give us the courage To speed the changes in our lives Is the man afraid to listen to new ideas That could put an end to all our strife Tell the man we're Tired of a good bad example Let's show them what freedom means Tell the man we're Tired of a good bad example Let's show them what peace means Four dead in Ohio Let's not forget what happened there Students makin' changes in the government 'Don't know the meaning of fear Tell the man we're Tired of a good bad example Let's show them what freedom means Tell the man we're Tired of a good bad example Let's show them what peace means WHITE FIRE They came to this country, Didn't understand Why natives here couldn't own the land Thirty million strong lovers of the Earth The great creator gave them birth and Then came fire, still there was fire Red Earth, Gold Air, Black Water, White Fire A few understood the native people here Embraced their way of life without fear Lived off the land took only what they need Struggled for harmony but never felt defeat Then came fire, still there was fire Red Earth, Gold Air, Black Water, White Fire An' it's sad to carve faces in sacred stone Fence off the land, slaughter buffalo If not discovered until now Would things be better, brothers some how? Then came fire, still there is fire Red Earth, Gold Air, Black Water, White Fire Millions of people may have native blood Shows that we're human Shows that we love Never too late to understand Find relation in this land Bless the fire, transform the fire Red Earth, Gold Air, Black Water, White Fire In the 1960's two hundred fifty thousand Native Americans were all that remain. Even so, there are some who teach the sacred ways to all who pray to understand, the spirit of the land. Red Earth, Gold Air, Black Water, White Fire Red Earth, Gold Air, Black Water, White Fire SPREAD OUT Gliding over virgin meadow Climbing to the cotton sky Playing in the windy currents Happy just to be a live Early morning bells go off I just want to stay in bed Working for the corporation Wondering where my life's been lead There's a place where I feel famous In the forest by the streams People often get to crowded Make room to find my dreams I would like to work at home Check the answering machine Co-workers on-line video tele conf'rencing Spread out, move out of the city Spread out, farther than the burbs Spread out, we can talk through the wires Spread out, we can make our lives our own Spread out Voluntarily wake at dawn Silent world before my eyes Draw the water from the well Light fills the morning skies Leave the pressure in the city Room enough for everyone Fit my work into my life Not the other way around Spread out, move out of the city Spread out, farther than the burbs Spread out, we can talk through the wires Spread out, we can make our lives our own Spread out Society grows so big People tend to loose control Need our time to fill our lives Before we get old All the great technology If we learn to use it right Wonder comes back to life No focus on fight or flight Spread out, move out of the city Spread out, farther than the burbs Spread out, we can talk through the wires Spread out, we can make our lives our own Spread out REINCARNATION Have you ever felt like, You've been somewhere? Something bout that old house, Standing over there You get a funny feeling, A thought flashes by Was it in a novel or Does the memory lie? Have you ever felt like, You know someone you don't? Sure you never met them, Just got off the boat You keep silent as you're Watching for a clue They think you're staring, What do they mean to you? It is possible if we look around Plants and trees are dying, Falling to the ground Up pops a seedling, Add another sprout Living things recycle Why would we be left out? All that I know, is that we're given Once at a time the life that were livin' So many lessons I want to learn I like thinking there's More time to burn Reincarnation, Do we live more than once? If there's a choice I'll get on the bus If we want to can we Take another stance? Can we stay in heaven, Or can we get another chance? Once I left my body, and I did fly Back to the Earth new light in my eye I don't have proof, but there's no doubt I guess it's for some to know, And others to find out I really love it here, When my body's old I hope to comeback fresh, Rejoin the fold. 'Til I finally learn it all, An' shake this body off Soaring upward light carry me aloft Reincarnation, Do we live more than once? If there's a choice I'll get on the bus If we want to can we Take another stance? Can we stay in heaven, Or can we get another chance? ESCALATE You see a little pain in my eyes, Your smile becomes a passionate lie Was I denied as a child Ignored and left wild No amount of love would be too mild When you're in my arms Love starts to escalate When you're in my arms Love starts to escalate The way you walk swingin' side to side Hair like a vail you've always been shy Your laughter breaks the gloom When you walk into the room No one would dare leave you in ruin When you're in my arms Love starts to escalate When you're in my arms Love starts to escalate Why can't we grow up knowing what we're looking for? Can't someone tell us what our lives have in store? Fill up every moment don't waste time You learned how to stop on a dime When it doesn't feel right And there's no one in sight You carry on and head for the light When you're in my arms Love starts to escalate When you're in my arms Love starts to escalate OH SHOW ME There's a journey to take, take you away Bring you back to yourself, oh show You want to try, try hard to fly When you stop you're there, oh show Oh show me the light and I'll Stand on my own Oh show me I'm right when I feel alone Oh show me the light and I'll Stand on my own Oh show me I'm right when I feel alone Let it all be real, real hard to leave Go out into the world, oh show One day it comes, comes so they say It's all for fun right now, oh show Oh show me the light and I'll Stand on my own Oh show me I'm right when I feel alone Oh show me the light and I'll Stand on my own Oh show me I'm right when I feel alone Oh show my love, love for the world Celebrate I'm alive, oh show Oh show my love, love to the world Celebrate we're alive, oh show Oh show me the light and I'll Stand on my own Oh show me I'm right when I feel alone Oh show me the light and I'll Stand on my own Oh show me I'm right when I feel alone RUN, JUMP, FLY Call all your friends, go to the mountains. Take your lover off to the sea. All you need is right there inside you. Life's what we make it out to be. There is a passion we must satisfy, To, open our hearts so we can learn to fly. Everybody has a different kinda vision, Some look ahead, others look behind. Be in the moment so we don't miss out, It's the perfect ultimate design. There is a passion we must satisfy, To, open our hearts so we can learn to fly. Gravitate, levitate, celebrate! Run, jump, fly! Gravitate, levitate, celebrate! Run, jump, fly! Gold in those hills diamonds in the desert, A treasure chest is at your feet. If the prize seems to be illusive, Try the magic word just say please There is a passion we must satisfy, To, open our hearts so we can learn to fly. Gravitate, levitate, celebrate! Run, jump, fly! Gravitate, levitate, celebrate! Run, jump, fly! What makes you happy go out and do it. Imagination that is the key. You know our dreams start the ball rolling, We got what it takes to be free! There is a passion we must satisfy, To, open our hearts so we can learn to fly. Gravitate, levitate, celebrate! Run, jump, fly! Gravitate, levitate, celebrate! Run, jump, fly!

Don't Get Drunk There's a party tonight and I've checked all my gear, I got mint's in my pocket and some artificial tears If the fun police find out what we plan to do There's a designated driver makin' sure we're cool, An' there'll be food and beer, fun and cheer, laughter all around Music and dancin' and groovin' to the sound Tomorrow we can sleep in it ain't no crime Take my momma's advice and we'll have a great time Don't get drunk, don't get dumb, don't get dead It's the most important rhyme momma ever said, She said leave your car at home, use your head instead Don't get drunk, don't get dumb, don't get dead All we need to make is a plan to get home I save ten bucks and call a taxi on the phone, 'Cause drivin' and drinkin' ain't what I call fun It's like Russian roulet with a fully loaded gun Don't get drunk, don't get dumb, don't get dead It's the most important rhyme momma ever said, She said leave your car at home, use your head instead Don't get drunk, don't get dumb, don't get dead I guess you all are wonderin' how this story ends, Well we drank with awareness and survived with all our friends But our party was special so be careful everytime There are other people drivin' who don't know momma's rhyme Don't get drunk, don't get dumb, don't get dead It's the most important rhyme momma ever said, She said leave your car at home, use your head instead Don't get drunk, don't get dumb, don't get dead | ||
