OVERTURE

I remember thinking

Growing up as a child

Lookin' at the clouds in amazement

How they were separate

Then formed together

To create electricity in the sky

Till they broke

And separated

Leaving only the sun

To shine

 

KILL THE ROOT

I got no limit I crush the wall with my hand

I got ideas that you might not understand

But I got will that you can't kill

And that's all that matters to me

I ain't goin' down to the well no more

Can't you see oh can't you see

I ain't gonna work in your college institute

I'm gonna find the cause and kill the root

Gonna find the cause and kill the root (repeat)

 

It may not suit your point of view

But that's exactly what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna say the things that break up yer mind

Then I'll leave ya far behind

To contemplate just what I said

Gonna find the cause and kill the root (repeat)

 

COME RAIN OR COME SHINE

Mad memories

Disconnected relationships

Nothing in common except

Affection for Barbie's panties and hair ties

But somehow I'm lost in the silence of your skin

A touch that gives my bones some kind of energy

n' electric fantasies on cold summer nights

Fleeting in fits of passion

Confusion and titulation

Oh God! How is this?

What I was

What I am

And what's to come of us

 

Dancing in this eternal square

Fighting visible enemies

On a field of a shattered conquests

That reflect the souls still stirring in the breeze

Still haunting the mirror

Still ceasing to freeze

Still and clear as the waters below me

Come walk with thee

Take a closer walk with thee

 

Some say it's the warmest winter

And that spring is near

But I constantly have flowers bloomin' in my garden

Come rain or come shine

This mad memory is a good friend of mine

Come rain or come shine

This mad memory is a good friend of mine

Come rain or come shine

 

CALL FOR THE CAPTAIN

Call for the captain

I ain't seen him in weeks

Call for the captain

We're reachin' the peak

Call for the captain X2

 

Call for the captain

A storm's coming quick

Half the men are dead

The other half are deathly sick

Call for the captain X2

 

Call up the captain

And tell him the news

Call up the captain

See if he has a clue

 

Call for the captain

Before it's too late

Call for the captain

The enemies at the gate

Call for the captain X2

 

BROTHER, BEWARE

I can feel it comin'

Ridin' on the wind

The door is open

I'm comin' in, I'm comin' in

 

The time is now

To say a prayer

It's a world of evil

So brother beware, brother beware

 

In these times of trouble

With war all around

You must speak for the dead

Who can't make a sound

Who can't make a sound

 

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

I can't find the directions and I

Can't pick the locks and I

Can't see my reflection

My brain can't stand the shock

 

Both my eyes are blurry from

The driving wind from

Things that I remember

When I wasn't so disciplined

 

You got your reputation and you

Got your heart of stone and you

Always took the high road

And you've never been alone

You've never been alone

 

I might not be able to find the directions

And I might not be able to pick the locks

But I remember things

 

STEADY AND EASY

Well it's early in the evening blues ain't nowhere to be found X2

The skies full of fire n' I ain't got a frown

 

Cause she's only 19 years old and you know I like em like that X2

Ain't no finer gal in the state I want sittin' on my lap

 

She's steady and easy I know that gal gonna do me all night

She's steady and easy I know that gal gonna do me right

There'll be no fussin' or barkin'

If I stay out drinkin' with the boys all night

 

Early in the evening the blues ain't nowhere to be found X2

I'm gonna gently rock my time away doin' that gal belly on the ground

 

SWEET AIR

I'm a smokin' while I'm pickin' guitar

Both my hands are busy

But my friend he reaches for me

And it ain't that far

To get that one lil' hoot of sweet air

Sweet air, sweet air

I don't care if you toke just toke in tune

Sweet air, sweet air

 

HANGIN' ON

I can see it all clearly now

The way that things have come to pass

There's a price that one must pay livin' the city

Sometimes it can cost you yer ass

All you gotta do is keep hanging on

 

You can be hypnotized by the big city lights

Or be made desensitized by murderous sights

In every alley on every street corner

People makin' deals from dusk til dawn

All you gotta do is keep hanging on

 

If there's money to be made I'm gonna make it

I'll deal with my foes as I see fit

I'll find the perfect combination

Of brute strength and wit

And all I gotta do is keep hangin' on

All I gotta do is keep hangin' on
