She said it's best to change than stay the same, 'cause you know that they won't want you if you don't Your former ways will make you lose the game I'll change all of them for you if you won't 'But what about the astronauts' I say? 'They must have found a different way, And all the heroes who journey far away They didn't change, but they didn't stay.' Sounds like you're angry, she replied, If you can't handle this, then just go home, I'm sick and tired of trying to change your mind It's clear you'd rather be out there on your own. 'But do you think we're meant to be?' I cry 'So many questions and no time, I'd never hurt you, I would rather die, I just don't wanna change, so goodbye.'

I wanna be a happy man tonight I wanna be myself and feel all right So I will wait until the crowd has gone And left their broken bottles on the lawn For some tired mother's son to sweep and clean And shout sweet prayers to our land so green When he begins to question what went wrong Oh then I'll smile and sing a different song I wanna be a peaceful man tonight I wanna be docile and feel all right So I will sit until the spotlights fade And books forget the words their pages made For some tired critic trying to bring me down Whose smile grows as mine turns to a frown When he begins to taste the sour truth Then I will act more like the ignant youth I wanna be a smarter man tonight I wanna know a ton and feel all right So I will hold until these needles drop And bubbles that we live in start to pop For when I'm tired, what can I say To make it worth waiting one more day? When you begin to see the world that's free Oh then maybe you'll sit and wait with me But we could be as dumb as we could be, Well at least we'll be happy.

Lay back, lay back, go to sleep my man Wipe the blood from your face and your hands Forgive yourself if you think you can Go to sleep, go to sleep my man... Twenty-one days lost at sea I fought For twenty two years, non-stop I talked through the desert Piss drunk, and confused I walked I spit a tooth in the palm of my hand Lay back, lay back... Well the wind and the trees are gangin' up on me They sing my funeral song in harmony I just wanna walk home unaccompanied They keep singin, they keep singin, singin they keep singin Singin they keep singin to me (La la la la la la) I hear 'em singin' Well I wish things were different, true indeed But everything is so shallow, is everything about me? Well they told me I could just take my money and leave I hope the people on the ground will understand I hope the people in the crowd will understand Lay back, lay back ...

The man said "Hey, where do you think you are? You've got to want to take control from them, These liberties you love don't mean a thing I couldn't understand him in the end. Skimming all dimensional contact, I found a greater purpose in the sky He said "Why do you think these souls react? Potentials change, but mankind shall not fly." The man said I sound like an atheist, The book can only grab me for so long But when I say they've chained you 'round the wrist, With greater purpose, man will burn my song. If you think there's something we can do Before the expiration date's a joke Then stay a while, I want to be with you, Alone for any longer, I might choke.

Three Dreams (free) 04:32
Try to get high, but you fall face down Bury a head in the snow Wanting to fly and get tossed around The music becomes so mellow As the lights dim, all I see is a floating fantasy You, frozen and it's all on me We can't control the road and snow falls fast Quietly the song rolls on, caught in the past Floorboards creak in a lifeless tomb Only one can feel the pain Walls of sound keep me in their womb Trapped in an endless rain As we sink in, water's cold and the car is going Last breath, I try to grab her as she falls We can't control the road and snow falls fast Quietly the song rolls on, caught in the past Fantasy, you frozen and it's all on me We can't control the road and snow falls fast Quietly the song rolls on, caught in the past Can you read the unreal?

What Can I Say - Live (free) 04:38
I can't call the people animals 'Cause I'd be an animal, too The wild and senseless things I've done Could land me a cage at the zoo Keepers would cover children's eyes They'd curse me for all that I do No I can't call the people animals 'Cause I'd be an animal too And I could be locked up with you. I can't call the government evil 'Cause I'd be sent straight down to hell The cruel and unjust desires I've had I simply could not ever tell Councils would have me burned alive They'd lock my remains in a cell No I can't call the government evil 'Cause I'd be sent straight down to hell And you could be down there as well. I can't call the teachers ignorant 'Cause I'd be as simple as they The brainless and stupid things I've said Could fill up a volume a day Textbooks would call me a failure, They'd warn how I'd wandered astray No I can't call the teachers ignorant 'Cause I'd be as simple as they And you could be with me all day. I can't call the parents psychotic 'Cause I'd be at least twice as ill The strange and bizarre beliefs I've held Could fetch quite an interesting pill Mothers would crusade against me They'd toil to restrain my free will No I can't call the parents psychotic 'Cause I'd be at least twice as ill And you could be footing the bill. I can't call you a friend or lover, 'Cause I'd never want you to be The spiteful and cold things you whisper Could only create misery This guilt and self-doubt are disgusting They root all the problems I see No I can't call you a friend or lover 'Cause I'd never want you to be But you could be a part of me.
