Who's There


You, you look
To the stars for answers
Your face, glowing in blue
You smile, at the thought
That there's
Something out there
Suddenly a smile
Turns to a stare

A million tiny
Light bulbs shining
Through celluloid
Across the country
Little green men
Eyes shielded with a shaky
Hand the women screaming
And the children
Gather and wonder

Who's there?
Who's there?

Fond, of a night
Out in California
It's late, an interruption in space
You smile, could there
Be someone out there
Suddenly the smile
Has been erased

The radio crackled voices
With obvious
And used excuses
Blue gas burning above
Flicks and cartoons
Bumper stickers
In preparation for tomorrow
And the children
Gather and wonder

Who's there?
Who's there?

A million tiny bulbs exploding
Out the theatre doors
They're screaming
Ushers pick up treasures
Little nervous
Mens co-ordinance
Point at the moon
And the children
Gather and wonder

Who's there?
Who's there?
Who's there?
Who's there?
Who's there?

Diggin' Your Scene


Tell me why we're
All gluttons for pain
The girl is totally insane
She doesn't know
The meaning of tame
Still I can't put out the flame

Hey hey I wanna play on
The team that you despise

Every day a new disguise
Every night a Halloween
She says keep the
Motor runnin' man
Like I was some machine

You can talk talk but
I'm keepin' her stock
I wouldn't even
Change a thing

Why fight you've
Got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so diggin' your scene
I said you're playing
With my head
I could split instead
I'm so diggin' your scene

On you like a hungry tick
Like a junkie knows
He ought to kick
But I don't want
To be dope sick
So I scramble for a fix

Voodoo and sorcery too
I can't shake your
Freaky spell

Why fight you've
Got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so diggin' your scene
I said you're playing
With my head
I could split instead
I'm so diggin' your scene

Can anybody tell me
Why we're Springer bound?
Why we feel so up
When we're kept down
On a short leash behind
A barbed wire fence
With no chance of parole
On a life sentence?

My friends tell me
I should run
They say they think
She's got a gun
But that just only
Turns me on
Right on, right on
Right on

Hey hey I wanna play for
The team that you despise

Why fight you've
Got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so diggin' your scene
I said you're playing
With my head
I could split instead
I'm so diggin' your scene

Don't change I love
That should arrange
You thought that
I could change
I said you're playing
With my head
I could split instead
I'm so diggin' your scene

I Just Wanna See


A planet on the go
It's OK watching
The weeds grow
And if you listen really hard
The earth she hums
When it's dark

Sleeping on the sidewalk
The home they call
Doctors and lawyers
Race for the ball
And I don't even
Wanna understand it all
I just wanna see

All the little kids gettin'
Down to the rhythm
The boys all shined up
Chasin' down the women
A paper boy smilin' at
The job that he's given
The bugs in the grass and
The birds all swimmin'
Mister moon checkin'
On how y'all livin'
The stars all winkin' at
The day that's dimmin'
I just wanna see

The aquaducts overflown
Watching the branches
And dolls go home
And if you listen really well
The earth she speaks
When she's pale

Sleeping on the ceiling
The flies don't fall
Dust bunnies found
Their way to a wall
And I don't even want
To understand it all
I just wanna see

All the little kids gettin'
Down to the rhythm
The boys all shined up
Chasin' down the women
A paper boy smilin' at
The job that he's given
The bugs in the grass and
The birds all swimmin'
Mister moon checkin'
On how y'all livin'
The stars all winkin' at
The day that's dimmin'
I just wanna see

Sleeping on the sidewalk
The home they call
Doctors and lawyers
Race for the ball
And I don't even
Wanna understand it all
I just wanna see

All the little kids gettin'
Down to the rhythm
The boys all shined up
Chasin' down the women
A paper boy smilin' at
The job that he's given
The bugs in the grass and
The birds all swimmin'
Mister moon checkin'
On how y'all livin'
The stars all winkin' at
The day that's dimmin'

Waste


I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time that's been stolen
When I was carrying you
It seems I've tripped
And I've fallen
Don't want no one to ache
Oh, to be drunk and forgetful
To get out of this unscathed
Oh, to be free and inhuman

Some, may say
I love, to play
When the chance
Is there to take

I'm moppin' up the floor
From messy recipes of romance
I'm packin' up the pots
Too many cooks in the kitchen

Some, may say
I love, to let
A good thing go to waste
I let it go to waste

Let a good thing
Go to waste a
Good thing go to waste
Let a good thing
Go to watse a
Good thing go to waste

I'm lookin' at my watch
At all the time
That's been stolen
When I was carrying you
Seems I've tripped
And I've fallen

All Star


Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll ya
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was lookin kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well, the hits start coming and they don't stop coming
Head to the rules and ya hit the ground running
Didn't make sense just to live for fun,
You're brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with takin the backstreets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin stars break the mold

It's a cool place, and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait till ya get older.
But the media men beg to differ
Judgin by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is gettin pretty thin
The water's gettin warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours?
Cuz that's the way i like it and i never get bored

Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin stars

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I guess I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change

Well, the hits start coming and they don't stop coming
Head to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense just to live for fun,
You're brain gets smart but the head gets dumb
So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with takin the backstreets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Hey now, you're an All Star, get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a Rock Star, get the show on, get paid,
And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin stars break the mold

Satellite


I see you floating by me
I see a beautiful face
It's pointed straight up
Towards the smog
I know, I know
You feel me beaming
Can you sense my burning
X-ray vision as you
Roll on by now
You must be gravitating
To the vibe I'm generating
Or maybe not, yet

I have known you forever
You pushed the reset button on
The counter of my heart but
You'll laugh at my advances
But still I've gotta chance it
As I watch your dust

You do it (you do it)
You do it for me
Yeah you do it (you do it)
You do it for me
Yeah you do it (you do it)

That's how I know
That you are mine
That's how I know
That you are mine
That's how I know
That you are mine
That's how I know
That you are mine

I send out to you
(Woo woo woo woo)
Frequencies exceeding the
Speeding laws of sound
I extend out to you
(Woo woo woo woo)
The satellite that will orbit
Your mind until you're down

That's how I know
That's how I know
I'm the asteroid that
Will infiltrate your soul
That's how I know
That's how I know
Speeding towards you
Burning out of control

Yeah you do it (do it)
You do it for me
Yeah you do it (do it)
You do it for me
Yeah you do it (do it)

That's how I know
That you are mine
That's how I know
That you are mine
That's how I know
That you are mine
That's how I know
That you are mine

Radio


Radio free fall
The cat walk
To the show
All bets are on for
Those in the known
Oh no

There's a caterwaul
In Hollywood
Who would have
Ever thought
All planets in line
With the disco ball

Who did you know coming up?
Who will you know going down?

America give it a name
Call it a miracle
All bets are on for
Those on a roll
Oh no

Sold and bought straight San Jo
Who would have ever thought
We'd spoil the sport and be on top

Who did you know coming up?
Who will you know going down?
Who's getting sent back down
There's a brand spanking
New kid in town

San Jo who
Would've ever thought
Hollywood get yourself
Sold and bought
Radio

Radio video and don't
Forget the talking show
And never forget
That you're good to go
Oh no

It's a cattle call
In fifteen minutes
You're a Neanderthal
All planets in line
With the disco ball

Who did you know coming up?
Who will you know going down?
Who's getting sent back down
There's a brand spanking
New kid in town

Stoned


Leave me alone
I'm over it
And everybody's movin' on
I can't see my tomorrow
And yesterday has
Come and gone
So, leave me alone

My mind is blown
But it's my own
So deal with it
I'm feeling fine most the time
I may be on the outside
But no ones getting in
So leave me alone

We're okay
Reelin' in the days
We're all right
We're just getting high
Let us be
It'll be all right

I got no strife
I'm loving life
Could you say the same
You don't have
To move to groove
So come on up and see me
But leave that judge behind
'Cause I'm loving life

We're okay
Reelin' in the days
We're all right
We're just getting high
Let us be
It'll be all right

We're okay
Reelin' in the days

Ooh ah

I'm gettin' stoned
And what's wrong with that?
The president seems
To be just fine
Come on up and see me
Come on up just know
That I'm gettin' stoned
I'm gettin' stoned
I'm gettin' stoned
I'm gettin' stoned

We're okay
Reelin' in the days
We're all right

Then The Morning Comes


Paint the town
Take a bow
Thank everybody
You're gonna do it again
You are the few the proud
You are the antibody,
Mind, soul and Zen
And the world's a stage
And the world's a faze
And the end is near

So push rewind
Just in time thank anybody
You're gonna do it again

The way that you walk
It's just the way
That you talk
Like it aint no thing
And every single day
Is just a fling
Then the morning comes

Take your knocks
Shake them off
Duck everybody
You're gonna
Take them again
You are your foe, your friend
You are the paparazzi
You are the tragedian
And the world's a craze
And the world's a faze
And the end is near

So push rewind
Just in time
Thank anybody
You're gonna do it again

The way that you walk
It's just the way
That you talk
Like it aint no thing
And every single
Day is just a fling

And when it comes
It moves so slow
Kind of like it's saying
"I told you so"
Looking back
Before she goes
Tomorrow's gonna hurt

And the worlds' a stage
And the world's a faze
And the end is near
So push rewind just
In time thank anybody

The way that you walk
It's just the way
That you talk
Like it aint no thing
And every single day
Is just a fling
Then the morning comes

In the road van
He's got to beat the clock
To the next town

In the road van

For the band

Road man slow it down

Safe and sound

Breaking land speed

Don't mind police man
Leaving a trail of
Ripped up citations

And smell the rose

King of the road

See the train man
Until it was too late
To slow the van
Meanwhile the band is waiting
For the Road man
Who was crushed by
His beloved sound system

Safe and sound
He says no no no
No no no, no no

Fallen Horses


A long summers day
Stretching out the cold
Searching for the answers
And some say I'm not alone

Could you tell me
Where I might find
Fallen horses
Their spirits, they fly

Blinded by the whiteness
Staring at the sun
I'm wishing that I had wings
So that I could become one

Would you help me
If I wanted to die
I could ride off
With horses tonight

Tell me why
Why, oh why
I said why
Why, oh why

Now that I've arrived here
I know I'm not alone
All my friends among me
Tell me welcome home

But could you tell me
Where I might find
The one I'm looking for
'Cause her wings
Have arrived

Tell me why
Why, oh why
I said why
Why, oh why

Tell me
Why, why, why, why, oh why
Tell me
Why, why, why, why, oh why

Defeat You


Born is a human with
A kung-fu spine
Equipped with a detector
Of what's on your mind
You jive, you shuck
You bob, you weave
And when you're down
You've got something
Up your sleeve
And you've got it good
As bad as it gets
You make your own incisions
That come with regrets
You're in it to win it and
Make every minute count
You put it all together
And dish it out

Hey, I know
Where you're from
It makes it that much
Nicer to meet you
Hey, I know
What you've done
It makes it that much
Better to defeat you

All that knowledge
All those skills
All the gas it takes to
Get up top of the hill
And while the others try
To take your spot
You wanna make them stop
But you gotta make them stop
Would you do anything
Whatever it takes
Jacks in the road yeah
Fix the breaks
It's the instinct that's
Got us locked up tight
And it's the madness that's
Keeping us up all night

Hey, I know
Where you're from
It makes it that much
Nicer to meet you
Hey, I know
What you've done
It makes it that much
Better to defeat you

It's what we are
It's what we are
It's what we are

Born is a human
With mechanics to win
Born is machine
With a human tucked in
You jive, you shuck
You jab, you stick
You're calling out for help
When it gets too thick
Your honour your honour
It's not me
It's the invisible visible
Evil powers that be
Untraceable, insatiable
Having to feed
Yeah you cry when
You're wounded
And you laugh when
They bleed

Hey, I know
Where you're from
It makes it that much
Nicer to meet you
Hey, I know
What you've done
It makes it that much
Better to defeat you

Hey, I know
Where you're from
It makes it that much
Nicer to meet you
Hey, I know

Come On Come On


Walking out of the door
I'm on my way
Can you tell me
Just where I'm going?
Occupational skills
Would you give me a clue
What to do 'cause
My mind's in motion
Just trying to relax
I find myself on the couch
With big plans but
There's always tomorrow
Is something wrong with me
Or the way that I'm thinking?

Come on, come on
And tell me
Why you're staring
Come on, come on
It must be
What I'm wearing
Come on, come on
And tell me
Why's it taking so long
For you to recognize and stop?

Another day in the sun
I'm having fun feel the heat
Sneaking up on me
I take a look in the sky
A plane goes by
Is that the reason
That I can't breathe
I take a look and
I wonder why
Why these birds don't fly?
It's hard for me to see
And I believe my, oh my

Come on, come on
And tell me
Why you're staring
Come on, come on
It must be
What I'm wearing
Come on, come on
And tell me
Why's it taking so long
For you to recognize and stop?

I took a trip to the bar
Does my money go far?
Can you show me
Just how to spend it?
Moving around
I like the sound
I find myself looking
Pretty stupid
If I had a gal
She'd be in a dress
I better slow my
Drinking down
If I don't get it together
Tonight they're gonna
Run me out of town

Come on, come on
And tell me
Why you're staring
Come on, come on
It must be
What I'm wearing
Come on, come on

Why's it taking so long
For you to recognize and
Stop, stop, stop, stop?

Home


Well here I am at my front door
And oh what an odour is rising
It seems I've stood on
This porch at lesser times
Now I've been down the road
You know the one
You've dreamed about
And that's surprises you
And I'm sure you'll chalk
It up to sell out crime

Home

What do you do
When opportunity knocks
When success stalks
And along comes fame
Do you open the door
Or watch in horror?
Through the peep hole
As they all go away
Lottery or poverty
You're a commodity so
What's it gonna be
I'm moving on
I'm moving on

Home

I'm going home
I'm going home

Sitting in that same spot there
With the other lot whining
And you know this
Must be just a mirage
Ain't no doubt I ain't got
The clout that's defined by you
But oil stains are all you're
Gonna find in my garage

Hey whatcha gonna do
When the fun stops
When the boat rocks
And the crew gets old
Make up your mind
It's about time
Because at this time
You're staying

I'm going home
I'm going home

I'm going home
