Well on your hips you say it’s gone but I don’t see it that way
You do it everyday
Babe, you’re makin me crazy
You’re takin me for a ride
Baby, you’re making me crazy
You’re makin me feel so high
Soft and sweet you are
But you always seem to take it to far
Turning everybody in the room into a crowd
So let’s dance around the fire, dance until we can’t dance no hotter
The sun is shining even when it’s dark
Babe, you’re makin me crazy
You’re takin me for a ride
Baby, you’re makin me crazy
You’re makin me feel like I’m high
Well I’m high in the sky like a bird that a flew
Down to the deep blue
I’m stayin close to the dance floor so I can look back at you
So let’s dance around the fire, dance until we can’t dance no hotter
The sun is shining when it’s dark
Babe, you’re makin me
Baby, you’re makin me….feel so high
Shakedown
A Shakedown has gotta come soon
All around the world
So the party is good
A shakedown has gotta come soon
All around the world
So the party is good
Keep my eyes up high above the skyscraper sky
My spirit in flight above the religious right
Cuz when I walk down the streets of desire I see these dancers and they're walking away from me
And when I walk through the breadth of the fire I see them walking right next to me
A shakedown is comin from my head
All the way down
Down to my feet yah
A shake down is coming from the top
All the way down
Down to the ground
So keep my head up high above the status quo
Keep my feet a movin so their eyes don’t know
Cuz when I walk down the streets of desire I see these dancers and they're walking away from me
And when I walk through the breadth of the fire I see them walking right next to me
Shake the top top down
Bring the top down
Shake the wealth on down
Shake the wealth on down
Shake the top of the Tao
Flip it all around
Shake the top of the Tao
Shake the top of the Tao
Shake the wealth on down
Shake the wealth on down
If you shake the tree enough
Something is going to fall
If you shake the tree enough
Something is going to fall
Acoustic Sun
Take me to a place where the south breeze blows
Off the bended knee of the south India coast
We’d be there, there’d be no government rule
And everything around seems to listen to you
It’s an Andaman Island acoustic sun
An Andaman Island acoustic sun
Everyday, we go our ways
And all these lines and rules, they get in my way
To leave this stream and live in the moment
Beyond this current of spite and the oceans of greed
It’s an Andaman Island acoustic sun
An Andaman Island acoustic sun
It's an Andaman Island acoustic sun
An Andaman Island acoustic sun
Desire
Come with me and leave the past behind
The fear that you feel is only in your mind
Deny all you know
Deny all that you believe is true
Then while your there
Remember why you wanted to stay
But your dreams can go up in smoke and leave you in a dusty cloud
Your dreams can go up in smoke and leave you in a dusty cloud
So let them say and declare what they want you to be
They do what they want and that’s alright with me
Let it be
Let them find what they’re goin to find
It’s a long and windy road
Leading like a river back to home
But your people disappear like smoke and leave you in a dusty cloud
Your people disappear like smoke and make you want to cry aloud
I believe someday you’re going to see behind those lies
Someday I believe you’re going to fly
Beyond the reach of any cold dark lonely city
Beyond the reach of all it’s little lies
Lose Your Mind
Drinking in the cities on the sunny days
But I’m wading through water as it rains
I’m living for the day that you came
And never living any day the same
Don’t forget to lose your mind
And don’t forget to leave something behind
Looking at that black and endless sky
I swear that I saw my reflection in the night
I’m living everyday, trying to do what’s right
Sometimes my friend, it gets out of sight
Don’t forget to lose your mind
Don’t forget to leave something behind
You never seem to know
You never seem to know
Sign
What would you do if I decided to leave you
What would say if I decided to walk away
Would you get high and try to rise above your pain
Or would you be low and sit there soaking in the rain
Singing...Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
What would I do if you decided to follow through
And walk away, never to come back and stay
Would I get high and try to rise above my pain
Or would I be low and sit there soaking in the rain
Singing...Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
What would you do if I decided to follow through
And walk away, never to come back and stay
Would you be high and try to rise above the pain
Or would you be low, walking in the rain
Singing...Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
House on the Hill
Put down your fear my friend
It will only bring you down
Put down your fear my friend
Lay it softly on the ground
Many people it seems they bow their head
They can’t even see the sky
Liberation is for the very few
And this idea they’re trying to fly
When you’re living on top of the hill
It’s so hard to read that writing on the wall
Because out of sight is out of mind
We can’t even hear or open the eye to see
Put down your stress my friend
It will only hurt you in the end
What you’re looking for is knocking on your door
But it’s ringing in my ear
Everywhere I look someone’s trying to write a book
About some new amazing thing
Necessity was the mother of invention
But sometimes it seems like greed
When you’re living on top of the hill
It’s so hard to read that writing on the wall
Because out of sight is out of mind
We can’t even hear or open the eye to see
Again
I remember what you used to say
You used to say it in this eloquent way
You didn’t say it with words
You just a walked around in my world
Something happened along the way
I guess we didn’t have much to say
Over awhile I couldn’t relate
Consumed by an avalanche I couldn’t escape
I fought the law and I didn’t win
Didn’t want to be stuck inside the system again
Headed north and south, and east and west
Still had this feeling inside of my…
I believe in a lot of lies
I like to look for answers in the sky
Over awhile we put up a fence
I don’t know, it just seems to make sense
But what were we really trying to hide
These deeper feelings buried inside
Oh where are you my long lost friend
I hope our paths will cross before they end
Well I fought the law and I didn’t win
Didn’t want to be stuck inside the system again
Headed north and south, and side to side
Still had this feeling inside of me
Well I’ve been hurled and I’ve been tossed and I’ve been beat and I’ve been lost
Looking for freedom at any cost
If I loose or if I win, If I loose or if I win
I just hope I get close to you again
Time
Time
Where have you gone
I’ve been having the time of my life for so long
Time
You draw the line
But forever hides from your clouded mind
And I didn’t even ask why
Because when I did I knew it’d slip right by, slip right by
Time
You chase your tail
But without the numbers there’s not much to tell
Time
I face the past
And if I wait just long enough there’s nothing to ask
And we didn’t even ask why
Because when we did it slips right by
Well, I’m hopeful and frantic
Chasin the wind
Only to find that I’m back to the beginning
Time
I like to play the ball
Drinking it on the rocks and tall
Time
My body wakes
Waiting for that rhythm and rhyme to keep me in time
The Way
Don’t know where this road’s going to take us
Grass is growing underneath and I see smoke ahead
Let my flare be where I stand
It’s not the beauty that kills
It’s the city’s cheap thrills
It’s a lap dance in a fiery furnace
It’s the way you move
It’s the way you dance in their head
The way you dance in their head
The way…
I don’t know where this line’s going to take us
Higher than the street lights no doubt
But I don’t know how we’re going to come down
It’s not how high you go
It’s who you know
And that’s what I have to deal with
It’s the way you hold out your hand
It’s the way you bow in and out
The way you bow in and out
The way…
But you, you want to be so different
But you don’t want to change
You don’t want to change
And it seems a struggle between
A philosophy and a reality
A reality
I’m not sure what direction we’re going to go
Patience stands in the way of progress
We’ll run it over and stare where we stand
It’s not what you have
It’s whom you have
Just ask who you want to be with
It’s the way you take it in
Let it out
Let it out
It’s the way…
Forbidden Sky
I saw you late the other day
And you were looking far away
Out on the edge of town
You said there's something you could do
To make this world look new
And you're doing it right this way
You said you're gonna leave this town
And that you won't be hangin' around
To watch the sun go down
You say you'll be out on the range
And no longer in a cage
And free to fly so high
There's lots of good around here
That I know
And leaving's gonna be really tough
But you can't stay here
I know that much
You've got to see some forbidden sky
You draw your wings, rock n' roll, and blow this town
Go on and fly
And when you're way out on the road
Where you gonna turn and go
When things get kind of low
Tell me will you think of me
And all the things that couldn't be
Are you doing it right this way
There's lots of good out there
That I know
And staying's gonna be really tough
But I can't go there
I know that much
I've gotta see some familiar sky
So draw your wings, rock n' roll, and blow this town
Go on and fly
