## Lyrics

```
    Hey, boy!
    Where are you going with that little toy?
    You know it's heavy
    When we look into that open void
    But animals don't think of it at all.
    Hey, boy! Hey, boy (one, two, three, four)!

    We are one and we have found
    They only wanted you around
    To hold it down so hold your ground
    We won't be here forever

    Hang on! Till the winner comes!

    (Game's over, losers.
    I have all the money! Say)

    (That's right, just suck it on)

    We are one and we have found
    They only wanted you around
    To hold it down so hold your ground
    We won't be here forever

    We are young and we have fun
    And all we've found with being around
    Is “all in all” and “Holy Cows”
    While things keep getting heavy!

    Hang on!
    To your man and hang on!
    To your woman and hang on!

    Ah!

## Lyrics

```
    [Spoken:]
    Well, gentlemen, a great deal of money has been invested in this project and we can't allow it to fail

    Demon
    Dream of god

    There is no insanity, rather a super sanity
    More suited for life at the end of the 20th century
    Where everything is art,
    And everything is trying to express it,
    Where everything is art,
    And everything is trying to communicate it...
    All intelligent beings sleep the dreaming of dreams
    And they've all come up to meet me tonight
    Although while in the morning, all their wonder and their
    Glory was turned ugly and quite simple
    Like a venue when you're loading in gear

    Oh, my fucking god...
    Oh, I'm fucking god...

    This night is when it all changes

    Sexuality, eroticism in asexual persuasions.
    Man or woman, makes no difference in the outcome
    No fashion, no tolerance for stupidity or ignorance
    ..."Adidas" or "The Arch Deluxe"...
    And time is now an object

    Oh, my fucking god...
    Oh, I'm fucking god...

## Lyrics

```
    I
    I wonder, why I wonder,
    Why I've come undone
    I've come undone

    Stay with me lord
    Play with me

    OK, I know, I missed it
    The point I mean, I missed it good
    And if I could
    Good God I would

    Stay with me lord
    Play with me

    Now I've seen the way it's headed
    Down and down, the truth descended
    Have it here and without worry
    Baby please, there is no hurry
    I'm fine

    Stay with me lord
    Play with me
    Stay with me lord
    Play with me

    Ego, it's only a soul (for now)

    Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
    Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
    We are the word
    We are the hope
    We are so happy to sing along

    (…now, now, now)
    Now I see the way I'm headed
    Down and down, the youth descended
    Hell is here, but it hath no fury
    Like this woman still, there is no worry
    I'm fine

    Stay with me lord
    Play with me
    Stay with me lord
    Play with me

```

```
    Baby please, there is no worry

```
    Days alone, never felt like this
    The lights of home, a year away
    And it's too late to fight it all, just drive.
    And the streets glow and the night...
    The night is soft

    The night is soft
    Soft

    And it's all inviting
    As anyone could ever know
    And this warm collective we endure...
    We endure and pass the moment
    We endure and pass the moon.
    We endure and pass the moment
    We endure.

    (Everybody knows)

    Here's a little riddle 'bout a when I was a little toddle,
    piddle in the puddle and my head was in a muddle
    you can sing it when you're sad, you can sing it when
    you're mad, you can sing it in the shower come along the latest's
    Gaia to gaia to gaia to gaia

    If you feel like you are incomplete, yet you are still in love
    yet you are sleeping, eternal
    I, I, I ,I

    So we fall on warm silence,
    I know, yes I know, we all go away.
    So we fall on warm silence,
    I know, yes I know, we all go away!

    Hey! How are ya?!

    When, monday comes, again,yeh,
    Another week can begin,
    Wanting, I'd ask myself,
    Since it's like I cannot be alone,
    Wanting, I'm back where I belong,
    And I've found a way, now I'm going home,
    Monday, another sick reminder of another
    Dead week gone by,

    But if it's monday,
    If only for a moment,
    And if that moment's coming so am i,

    But I don't know bout that
    Smoke is in the air
    I can't stand this
    I got 19 fucking hours and then I might get to the end
    Get me home
    But when engines purr in perfect harmony
    The things at home
    Are things I should not dream,
    To take me down will take a better flight than here
    You took my time so now I take you

    Monday! Get me out of L.A.!
    (I can't stand it!)....Jesus!

## Lyrics

```
Ode to the unknown:
If we're gonna face it alone, Don't trust the fearing of revealing

So off to the unknown!
I've often wandered alone, it don't bother me...

Talk the talk: You'll find there's no place in the city
Let the moon clear slowly on your day

Ode to the unknown:
We're gonna take the high road, though what is appealing

...is the act of disappearing

Stop it

Walk the walk, you're finally free from it all!
Let the mood keep clearing for today

Moonpeople challenge the ways of the sun!
But the earth moves for you babe, so breathe now

Watch your talk, you're finding yourself in it all
Let your mood clear fear along the way

Dream weaver, carry me away to the sun!
Just breathe now.

Ode to the unknown, ode to the unknown

    Here I am, driving through Japan at night
    Here I am, pretending everything's alright
    And I've got so far to go before the morn
    And I can't believe how much it hurts at home

    Here I am, living life inside a comic book
    Here I am, bored with everything...

    And I can't believe that I'm here to stay
    'Cause I never worked it out this way
    And I love you more than I can say
    But I hate you every other way

    Rain, falling down
    Rain, falling down over me

    I think I'm closer now
    I think I'm closer now
    I'm getting closer now
    Under the light of the moon

    And I can't believe that I'm here to
    Stay, 'cause I never worked it out...
    And I love you more than I can say
    But I hate you every other...
    And I'll keep my world from falling apart
    In the corner of an aching heart
    So say you'll come into the city
    Come back with me please...

    Huh-oh, huh-oh

    All my life this is understood
    Wasting my time like you knew that I would... knew that I would
    So I hide my internal suicide
    All my pride just to keep it inside...
    Keep it inside boy!

    Suffer...

    Uh-ah!

    All my life this is understood
    Wasting my time like you knew that I would… knew that I would
    So I hide my internal suicide
    All my pride just to keep it inside... keep it inside
    Ten thousand lies
    Ten thousand lies!

## Lyrics

```
    10 am, and I hit the alarm
    It's been 5 short hours since I tied one on
    And on the way to the kitchen for my morning cup
    I gotta run to the can before my bowels erupt

    Grab my knees and howl like a dawg
    I've got a 12 inch long jalapeño log
    You can keep that Thai, yeah I think I'll pass
    I ain't got a week to nurse my ass!!!

    I just want a normal stool!
    Hey, hey, hey, heinous anus!

    I've been on the throne all day
    I can't face the world in any other way
    Help me out,
    I wanna be someone who
    Doesn't start the morning with a molten poo!!!

    I don't want this screaming hoop!!!
    Hey, hey, hey, heinous anus!

```

    rock female thing, but "hey", he says, "if there's a ring through a nose,

## Lyrics

```
Stay: save the world with me. And if we're ever to be...
...We shall be
I'm not from here, Heartbreaker!

I'm trying to figure you out:
It seems you're 'varied
Though by the look on your face
It seems you are looking very friendly

I'm not your girl, Heartbreaker

I'm not from here...where the hell did my head go!?

And you promised me:
You'd be here to stay until the wheels fell off
(In Synergy)

'Please know your loss is noted...'

You caught me rising, You called me right out

I really need to talk to you
I can see it in your eyes
Some things you do until you get it ...It ain't nothing to do with pride

So if you need to talk to me
We can take it day by day
The things we do to forget it...it ain't coming between us

(Waiting for the perfect love)

Some day I'll be on my own
Devoid of opinions and you can tell me nothing
Some day I'll be on my own
In front of the ocean and you can all fuck off

(Waiting for the perfect love) (Waiting for the perfect love)
(Waiting for the perfect love) (Waiting for the perfect love)

Creeping under the stairs tonight, As the wolves begin to howl

(See the world, farther on, I may never know the way to go)

I'm not your little boy, Heartbreaker!
I'm not from here... where the hell did this come from!?

Stay, save the world with me. And if we're ever to be: ...We shall be!

Love is the way... Love is the only way... Love is the way... Love is the only way...
Love is the way... Love is the only way... Love is the way... Love is the only way...

    Sweet mornin' rain
    On the freeway
    In the evenin'
    It's time distilled in me

    Well, I swing through a capillary
    got some trouble with the down-town fellas
    while heading for the money hole.
    better keep rollin'

    So I sink our money in a little rock and roll
    Try to keep checking when it's quittin' time
    I wanna go home
    Go so slow.

    Sweet mornin' rain
    On the freeway
    In the evenin' now
    Sweet mornin' rain
    On the freeway
    In the evenin'
    It's time distilled in me

    Well it's all the stars won't fall on me
    Time keeps rollin' on

    Well tell it to the King
    I'm wanna be headin' home to Canada
    A little bit o' sugar for the honey all alone
    I'm on the road

    And I hate to have to tell it
    so I'm never gonna tell it
    Hypocrite'll tell ya that
    you're better off to take it all home

## Lyrics

```
    Racing' cross the heavens
    Straight into the dawn
    Looking like a comet
    Slicing through the morn
    Scorching the horizon
    Blazing to the land
    Now he's here amongst us
    The age of fire's at hand

    Stand by for Exciter
    Salvation is his task
    Stand by for Exciter
    Salvation bids to ask

    Everything he touches
    Fries into a crisp,
    Let him get close to you
    So you're in his trip,
    First you'll smoke and smoulder
    Blister up and singe
    When ignition hits you
    The very soul of your being will cringe.

    Stand by for Exciter
    Salvation is his task
    Stand by for Exciter
    Here he comes now
    Fall to your knees and repent if you please

    Who is this man?
    Where is he from?
    Exciter comes
    For everyone.
    You'll never see him
    But you will taste the fire upon your tongue

    He's come to make you snap out
    Of the state that you are in
    Looks around and make you
    See the light again
    So much self-indulgence
    Results in shattered eyes
    Predominant complacency
    Leads to beguiling lies.

    When he leaps amidst us
    With combustive dance
    All shall bear the branding
    Of his thermal lance,
    Cauterizing masses
    Melting into one
    Only when there's order
    Will his job be done.

    Who is this man?
    Where is he from?
    Exciter comes
    For everyone
    You'll never see him

    But you will taste the fire upon your tongue

    Racing past the heavens
    Straight into the dawn
    Looking like a comet
    Slicing through the morn
    Scorching the horizon
    Blazing to the land
    Now he's here amongst us
    The age of fire's at hand

    Stand by for Exciter

    Some road,
    It's home,
    At least for now, the rivers low

    Wake me, please wake me,
    It's cold and warm on the prairie freeway

    All the time I needed your approval to be me
    All that time spent waiting for the jury duty
    More than ever I needed Mora
    More than Mora means
    Be whatever you must be to get by, get by

    It's oil (get by, get by, get by, get by)
    It's wheat (get by, get by, get by, get by)
    It's soil (get by, get by, get by, get by)
    It's meat (get by, get by, get by, get by)
    It's beef

    Some road,
    It's home,
    The mountain high, river low...

    Wake me, please wake me,
    When it's my turn to drive
    Only the lonely
    And maybe John Denver knows the Canadian freeway.

```
