Caterpillar Dream

It's cloudy and nothing seems quite right today
Alone in my room and I'm
Lost in my worries, the terrors they bring
But the beauty of nature's a magical thing
Though I can't bear the sight of it
Maybe I'll just drift away...
The cloud rolls on over the hill, and it sways there
The cow jumped up onto the moon, and he lay there
And if you're here around me, then I might survive through the morning
The small caterpillar, he crawls up the fountain
Bursting from his cocoon, the butterfly wanders the mountain
But if you're here beside me, then everything's gonna be fine
But there's dark in my mind, and I wake up to find
You're just a vision I dreamt in the night
It's cloudy and nothing seems quite right today
Alone in my room and I'm
Lost in my worries, the terrors they bring
But the beauty of nature's a magical thing
Though I can't bear the sight of it
Maybe I'll just drift away...

Altered States

Can anybody hear me? One more time
Can anybody hear me? Spirit shine
Electrify the feeling, intertwine
It feels so bad to be on the outs with your insides
But we can't change the future, though we try
Let's make a slice of heaven, in our minds
A little taste of freedom, join the ride
And knowing that we might be falling unsupervised
Everyone needs a hole in the head
Open up let your outsides come in
Altered states and the joy that they bring
Can't compare to nuh--now let the children sing
Everyone's got a hole in the ground
Thinking 'bout it'll just get you down
Altered states and the joy that they bring
Can't compare to nothing
Now for the very first time, I'm alive
Intoxicated heartbeat, we imbibe
A psychedelic gospel, wonder why
It hurts so bad to be on the outs with your insides
But we can't change the future, though we try
Let's make a slice of heaven, in our minds
A little taste of freedom, join the ride
And knowing that we might be falling unsupervised
Everyone needs a hole in the head
Open up let your outsides come in
Altered states and the joy that they bring
Can't compare to nuh--now let the children sing
Everyone's got a hole in the ground
Thinking 'bout it'll just get you down
Altered states and the joy that they bring
Can't compare to nothing
Round and round and round it goes
Where it stops, nobody knows
Sorry that I got to go
But I got the music, it's in my soul

Land of Dinosaurs
04:26

It doesn't matter anymore
My hands can't touch the floor when I am on this crazy ride
Just drifting by
I've never felt so high
Like Lucy in the sky
With tattoos in her eyes
And sorrow in her sighs
It doesn't matter anymore
Anymore, anymore, before and furthermore
I miss the days of yore and chasing dinosaurs
And racing for the door to seek another realm
And lie beneath the elm and kiss the sycamore
I've died so many times, each life I never lived
The dreams that I've refined are leaking through the sieve
The wish upon a star, the light that never shines
I'm lost up in the world, alone inside my mind
The songs we used to sing, the chords that I forgot
The bells that used to ring, the shorts with polka dots
The What's New Scooby Doo? Little Lulu Show
I miss the used to, Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo bro
Nevermore, nevermore, my marbles on the floor
I'm raving like I'm stark, paladium in my core
I miss the days of yore, today's another bore
Someday up in the sky I'll ride tyrannosaur
It doesn't matter anymore
My hands can't touch the floor when I am on this crazy ride
Just drifting by
I've never felt so high
Like Lucy in the sky
With tattoos in her eyes
And sorrow in her sighs
It doesn't matter anymore
Plaster paint all over
Saturday I'm mourning
In my mind I'm child
Abandoned in the wild
Scrape my knee on gravel
Prehistoric travel
In my mind I'm free
Like driftwood in the sea
It doesn't matter anymore
It doesn't matter anymore
My hands can't touch the floor when I am on this crazy ride
Just drifting by
I've never felt so high
Like Lucy in the sky
With tattoos in her eyes
And sorrow in her sighs
It doesn't matter anymore

Wistful Daydream
04:03

It might be the moonbeams that phase through my mind
Once upon a while, take me on a trip, sailing on a ship
Slip into the wild, and when I was a child
I was always chasing time, but now it's chasing me
And I'm pacing through the park, racing after dark
Exclamation mark, hold up, now let it begin
And every time that I start to believe
I try to keep myself together
Knowing that I might just be a wisp on the wind
Beginning to think that I'm dreaming
But I feel it, and it feels so good
Do you feel it to?
Sometimes I just have to hide
Recede into my mind and escape for the night
And maybe someday make it out of this hole
Where oh where is my soul?
And how long must I roam 'fore I'm finally home?
As often the case, things are not what they seem
Singing oh...
And every time that I start to believe
I try to keep myself together
Knowing that I might just be a wisp on the wind
Beginning to think that I'm dreaming
But I feel it, and it feels so good
Do you feel it to?

Bike
02:24

And you were doing tricks up on your bike
And then you fell and scraped your skin
I heard you cry, you caught my eye, I invited you in
I went to grab a piece of tissue
My grandpa said a tissue wouldn't do
You'd need a bandage for your wound
I brought it for you then you came into my living room
And we played video games
I felt so strange
I still remember you fell off your bike
And I fell in love
It seems so long ago
Ah...
All I ever wanted was to spend another day
I gathered all my friends and we were calling out your name
Oh won't you come and play?
You didn't want to
Nowadays a true love seems like only make believe
I lie awake and lie to myself, wishing on a dream
Of yesterday, where did I go so wrong?
I still remember you fell off your bike
And I fell in love
It seems so long ago
Ah...

Watching, waiting, wishing, wanting to fly
Watching, waiting, wishing, wanting to fly
All my life I've dreamt of clear skies
Now tonight I'm flying away

Pelmo Park
03:06
|

|
And if I walk through Pelmo Park in the spring
I'll see our footprints there, fading
We've come so far, but we're just wasting time
Inside a crazy world, where nothing rhymes
But don't give up
Don't let your life just pass you by
There'll be a shining star to guide you through the night
So don't lose hope
Don't let another day go by
Look for that shining star to guide you through the night
And if I walk through Pelmo Park in the fall
The crumbled leaves blow through the dusty halls
Day after day, we're still just wasting time
Inside a crazy world, where nothing rhymes
I started to cry, felt so empty inside

Our Winter Song
02:38
|
|||
|
Our winter song would keep us warm
On snowy days when we were friends
And you would always hold my hand
Together we were singing
Our winter song
Our winter song
On snowy days, I walk alone
Cuz now that we're no longer friends
There's no one there to hold my hand
But you'll still catch me singing
Our winter song
Our winter's gone

There may be days when you can't help the hurt inside
But don't let it make you cry
We're only chasing apple pies
There may be times when you're afraid to close your eyes
But don't let it make you cry
We're only chasing lullabies
Sometimes reality can make you lose your mind
But don't let it make you cry
We're only chasing little lies
I know someday we're gonna have to say goodbye
But don't let it make you cry
We're only chasing fireflies
Someday

Lullaby
03:22
|
|||
|
Lay your weary head on the reeds across the river
When darkness comes around, we'll fly
And you can share my pillow case as we glide along a moonbeam
The sandman calls my name
And so, I say...
Circus flying thoughts through my mind
Purpose will I ever find mine?
Or will I wander aimlessly?
Wishing my whole life away
And living just to die someday
And hoping I get through it painlessly
If there is a god then does he hate me?
Or can he even see me?
Sometimes I'm just not sure
Someday I think the sun is gonna rise
I'll wipe the sleep out of my eyes
And wake up to a better world, so I
Lay my weary head on the reeds across the river
When darkness comes around, I'll smile
And you can have my pillow case as I glide along a moonbeam
The sandman calls my name
And so, I say...
Goodnight
