This time 05:46
lyrics
This time I'll be over This time I'll be out of sight This time the nights going to give you a fright This time a shining light Oh my love Oh my love This time I'll be closer This time we just might This time it's a lovers delight Oh my love Oh my love This time I'm going nova This time I'm burning bright This time I hold no spite This time love letter writes/rites Oh my love Oh my love

Treble down 01:49
lyrics
Treble down On solid ground Glistening crackle Bones rattle Beneath these shackles Cold heart grapples Tense muscles Twitch this hustle Annoying context Hyper-critical beast Cycles be slow So the seeds will sow Lose the slag Brand new bag Quiet while you tread The solar explosion Rippling through your spine and down through your knees It's fire it's poison Hold onto it and find yourself closer To the ditch the devil takes a piss in When he's riding sticks in the wind

Seven eight two 02:40
lyrics
I'm feeling strange again Timing like the shot if enough cash was enough Can we have a really fat joint? I'm off the stoop, where the number dialed 782 broke the chord and then guitar strings, metals all around us, and car handles, all in uniform, lines, lines lines, Just stash the shit out, got what we want, we're not going to take no fall Valium couldn't help her with crippling anxiety, the world is a monster out of touch with society Doll house, shadow blues, ultramarine, the ships battle free I know you see me, in the sea you're there looking too, back at me or up or down towards me, I travel like an abstract triangle, no bricks to stack, just coral juice to spin me back, oh I'm so frustrated, boil down serve clowns A dolphin rapes you awake, a seahorse gives birth, my family dinners are never clean why don't you stand and watch the scene Uh, my body aches, slow motion recovery, not seeing straight, guidance asserted, brain chatter averted... There are waves here, grab the wheel a ship to steer, to a natural Eden, or a hyper-dimensional injection, either way, it goes on and on There is a place, these streets converge, two draws style feel like fire, hold onto ones hearts desire.

Hearing voices 02:17
lyrics
I heard her call my name Things aren't quite the same I heard her call my name Things aren't quite the same anymore You're a ghost Na na na na na na na na You're a ghost Na na na na na na na na I heard her call my name Things aren't quite the same I heard her call my name Things aren't quite the same anymore You're a ghost Na na na na na na na na You're a ghost Na na na na na na na na

Not much talk 03:51
lyrics
Not much talk, the day moves on Not much talk, the day moves on Caught fire in your eyes and your hips don't lie Caught fire in your eyes and your hips don't lie I saw the truth, there's a hole in the roof I saw the light, now I'm not so alone at night Softly spoken, hallelujah she said Don't know why, but it put a seed in the head There's a road I know, goes to a place I know Where the hills climb trees, and seashells fall like leaves an ocean in the sky Not much thought, the night moves on Not much thought, the night moves on The way I make her feel tonight, magnetic pulse, starlight Under the moon, see the sights of another Earthly delight There's a hole in the roof There's a hole in the roof There's a hole in the roof

Somebody's in love with somebody 01:46
lyrics
Somebody's in love with somebody Somebody's in love with somebody Somebody's in love with somebody I know Somebody's in love with somebody Somebody's in love with somebody Somebody's in love with somebody I know John's in love with Joan, Joan's in love with Jim, Jim's in love with someone I know Joan's the only girl, She's the one I love She's the girl I'm thinking of Joan and I had a quarrel, She said this is the end I said wait a minute baby won't you take me back again Somebody's in love with somebody Somebody's in love with somebody Somebody's in love with somebody I know

Josie said 04:31
lyrics
Time and, time again You say we're only friends Time and, time again I'm still with you to the very end Don't it make you want to move, when the music takes on a groove, we could make it together, though you said you found it better, with another, but I'll tell ya, it's just a squandered opportunity, It's nothing new to me, I'll be here and you'll be there Nothing left to say Might be better off anyway Nothing left to say Cigarette ashtray Don't it make you want to move, when the music takes on a groove, we could make it together, though you said you found it better, with another, but I'll tell ya, it's just a squandered opportunity, It's nothing new to me, I'll be here and you'll be there Josie, oh Josie said You'll have to dance with me instead Josie, oh Josie said All your dreams have been misled Don't it make you feel alright, don't it crash you through the night, when the music takes on pace, and you dress up in white lace Don't it make you feel alright, don't it soothe you through the night when the music takes on pace and I see you in my place

lyrics
Something in my head oh better off said Something in my head oh better of said all these hanging round Oh I know Always hanging round Something my head better of said Only hanging around Better off dead Something in my head better of said always hanging around six feet under the ground

Rollercoaster 01:24
lyrics
Well, once somewhere sometime ago her eyes were clear to see she put her thoughts into my mind and gave myself to be she stopped me from living so unsane I could be just what I want to be and things appear as they really are I can see just what I want to see oh come on and let it happen to you I say come on and let it happen to you you got to open up your mind and let everything come through
