All Lyrics by Jonathan Segel© 1993 Bumps of Goose BMI1) Heaven’s Expanse(ISRC ushm90561184)
Pathways of gold, heaven's expanse
Right now through them do I yet dance
All I am is ash, one spark of life
The perfect cache for what's inside
I carry this spark, glide through my track
But in the end, I give it backMy thought's as real as all I own
I’m only worth the time of this song
I’ll trade my life, my love, my homeThis all to be where I belong
Give it up, for realI trade it all, that's the dealIt’s only worth everything and that's a steal
All I am is clay
Give it back that day
All I am is dirt
Show me what I’m worth
Heart’s empty but for the blood
Give it up I would
Heart’s empty but for the wine
Not drunk enough yet to feel divine
My thought's as real as all I own
I’m only worth the time of this song
I’ll trade my life, my love, my homeThis all to be where I belong
Give it up, for real
I trade it all, that's the dealIt’s only worth everything and that's a stealPathways of gold, heaven's expanse
Right now through them do I yet danceMy life flows by, glass full of sandHallowed the way no angel can
My lover I love, but even so
Being with her I let all go
I give it up, I shoot the moon
I trade it all, I’m coming soon

2) Life Blood(ISRC ushm90561185)

You think you're so selective with all you have when out of your threshold your discards
are swept
So praise your invective, what is life without the goals that you will accept
If we're so old this early
Where’s our future pleasuresPromises that we're used to having kept
Everyday you think you make your mind up, falling into no particular plan
The path of least resistance chosen, everything becomes entropic wan
If we're so old this early
Where’s our future pleasures
Promises that we're used to having kept
You all so ecstatic, every small piece of hope you think keeps you on track
People so pragmatic, once your blood spills to earth, what song can sing it back3) Your Penny Silver(ISRC ushm90561186)

Don’t speak to me in riddles
Tell me what you feelThough we may never crossThis sea of ethics
With an even keel
Every new day dawns
And we survive despite
Ourselves, we exaggerate
The quality of life,
That’s just as well
Given the alternatives
You’ll think your penny silver'Til your penny drops
One scary dose to thrill you
Tightens up your chops
I drop it
So here lies my hick jacket
No hocus-pocus
This is just my body
All I am and just as well
Drop my city mouse mask as wellCountry mouse, she sheds no crocodile tears
Really, what I say she hears?

So we get what we ask for-Maybe in a vacuum
Take a look outside
Open up the window
Of your tomb
So we still tend to trust
The people close to us
Still an act of faith
Still that's only dust
Gets us as far as we can go with it
Search for some middle ground
Higher than flood level
And it will all start at this moment:4) Ancient Language(ISRC ushm90561187)

Make the sound and reach our border
Learning to use the ancient language
Form an o and fill your borders
Learning to use the ancient language
Open chances to remember
Secret sign of brother sisterMake the sound and reach our border
Learning to use the ancient language
Fill a mound to be together
Say the words that bring on water
Close your eyes and cross the river
Make the sound and reach our border
Learning to use the ancient language
Form an o and fill your borders
Learning to use the ancient language
Think the letters, saying soother
Turn his head, you will believe her
Make the sound and reach our border
Learning to use the ancient language
Awe invoked displaced the weirdingNo limits by tongues ability
Transposed beyond the sheer, here
Make the sound and reach our border
Learning to use the ancient language
Form an ‘o’ and fill your borders
Learning to use the ancient language
5) Don't Light A Fire Under Me(ISRC ushm90561188)

I see you
I see you later
I see you everywhere
Don’t light a fire under me
If you don't plan to feed the flame
You’ll burn me up
Your presence felt
You’ll make this world hell
If you stay out of my life
Don’t light a fire under me
If you don't plan to feed the flame
You’ll burn me up
Every dayI see your face
I want you more
Don’t light a fire under me
If you don't plan to feed the flame
You’ll burn me up
I’m just dry wood
I easily ignite
Sparks fly
When you walk by
Don’t light a fire under me
If you don't plan to feed the flame
You’ll burn me up6) Atalanta Runs Ahead(ISRC ushm90561189)

She's left already, lavender in her hair
But I still wear the lion’s mane as if she were there
A near miss is still a miss, no fault to the aim
A dream I’m not believing in again, it can never be the same
Atalanta runs ahead never to be caught
I only won that once by the tricks that I wrought7) Morning Raga (instrumental) (ISRC ushm90561190)
8) Still Surfing For The CIA (ISRC ushm90561191)
Salvador don't care if Joe’s still surfing there
So long as he doesn't ask any questions
But if he gets wise, they'll see it in his eyes
There’s always some things left unmentioned
Got his visa on the fly, cleared by the FBI
A rare case when they work together
He’ll stick to the coast, and talk to whom he likes the mostThey’ll mostly talk about the weather
Just a surfer is an easy cover
The traveling set gets information aroundAs a spy it's not a lie to say the land is your lover
When you betray her it hurts your heart like no other
In Limon's American Bar, they're waiting in a car
To discuss the recent Salsa Brava
One heads back to base, the Key Largo in San Jose
Then the drop at el Toro Bravo
Just a surfer is an easy cover
The traveling set gets information aroundAs a spy it's not a lie to say the land is your lover
When you betray her it hurts your heart like no otherLast year when the waves were flat he was down in Panama
In the city sang a covert ditty to the military man
Got the song to their man in charge so he felt he was 10 feet tall
Then Joe split before the con men hit
And then the war began
Just a surfer is an easy cover
The traveling set gets information aroundAs a spy it's not a lie to say the land is your lover
When you betray her it hurts your heart like no other
The waves of Liberdad swell both good and bad
Who knows which way their going to break
Joe’s false innocence, the outside influence
They’ll never know who's on the take9) The Swell (instrumental) (ISRC ushm90561192)
10) You Shine(ISRC ushm90561193)

I say your eyes do sparkle like the stars
I say never hide how bright you are
I see your hair it does flow like a waterfall
I’m nearly seeing violet, and that's not all
By my soul let me see you shine
Like the sun, like the sun, I’ll see you shine like the sun
I hear your words so closely, it's all I knowYour lips speak in a language, through me it goesThe bees and birds of springtime are buzzing nearI feel my heartbeat so strong, nothing to fear
By my soul let me see you shine
Like the sun, like the sun, I’ll see you shine like the sun
I see you shine around me like light and air
It takes so little effort to still be there
I see your eyes do sparkle like the sun
I touch your hip with my hand, I nearly comeBy my soul let me see you shine
Like the sun, like the sun, I’ll see you shine like the sun11) Heaven (instrumental) (ISRC ushm90561194)
