when you hear woulda shoulda coulda gotta think mighta been in spite of low down tired of being a fighter turn around put it all behind you caught in a trap and you can't walk out it's in your mind so you can't walk out now don't get stuck stuck in a loop again well you're gonna get stuck stuck in a loop again when you hear maybe baby someday gotta say when do i get it my way freeze-dried waiting for the big day get wise take another freeway caught in a trap and you can't walk out it's in your mind so you can't walk out just when you think you've got it beat it sets you up and knocks you down try to blow it off or trade it in and you'll wind up in the lost and found and then you're stuck stuck in a loop again well you're gonna get stuck stuck in a loop again maybe random maybe a scam fate lays waste to the greatest plans that's life talk about karma moan about sin just don't get stuck in that loop again 'cause that's life

Post Post-Modern Man

if i had a hammer i'd wake up my neighbors pounding out a rhythm all about you if i had a pencil i'd push me some paper i'd build a skyscraper to get close to you if i had a lasso i'd sail out the window and land on an island next to you if i had a hot rod i'd fasten up my seatbelt and break the speed limit getting to you but i ain't got a hammer and i ain't got a pencil and i ain't got a lasso so i'm doing it the hard way like a post post-modern man if i had a credit card i'd clear me a pathway through the deepest jungle right to your door if i had a camera i'd snap away my fingers and collect up the pictures of you of course but i ain't got a hot rod and i ain't got a credit card no chance for a camera so i'm doing it the hard way like a post post-modern man well i ain't got a hammer and i ain't got a lasso no chance for a camera so i'm doing it the hard way

When We Do It

when we do it, the great big it i hope it's we and not just me when we do it, something happens and it's bigger than the both of us and for a second there's no trouble and the world outside goes away the clock on the wall between us stops then the world outside blows away you make me lose my body and nothing could be better you make me lose my body it's like we've died and gone to heaven you make me lose my body when we do it, the universal it i know it's we and not just me when we do it

Spin The Wheel

when i was young i thought i stood on solid ground well that proved wrong everything i knew was true just blew up in my face isn't life wonderful? i really didn't think so i took my chips and cashed them in and let the games begin cause it's easy it's perfectly easy to spin that wheel 'round 'til you turn it all upside down it's easy it's perfectly easy to let that wheel spin 'til the numbers come back right to you now spin that wheel, there's nothing to lose spin that wheel, it's waiting for you now spin that wheel, let the wheel decide spin that wheel, go along for the ride spin the wheel you lose! when i was young and set to move i started looking forward to the fun that disappeared so soon i wanted to check out isn't life wonderful? i didn't used to think so i took my chips and cashed them in and started up again now it's easy

Morning Dew

walk me out in the morning dew my friend walk me out in the morning dew today can't walk you out in the morning dew my friend can't walk you out in the morning dew today i thought i heard a baby cry this morning i thought i heard a baby cry today you didn't hear no baby cry this morning you didn't hear no baby cry today where have all the people gone this morning where have all the people gone today you'll never find no people here this morning you didn't need those people anyway i thought i heard a young male call this morning i thought i heard a young male call today you didn't hear no young girl call this morning you didn't hear no young girl call today and now i can't walk you out in the morning dew my friend i guess it doesn't matter anyway

A Change Is Gonna Cum

ice starts melting 33 degrees, a change is gonna cum little girl thinking 'bout the birds and bees, a change is gonna cum man grows up goes down on his knees, a change is gonna cum here it comes every new beginning is a delicate time but just like when the end comes it's never very pretty and every in-between time looks like a perfect picture it seems to last forever because it's standing still but oh baby, a change is gonna cum not just maybe, a change is gonna cum ozone layer starts to disappear, a change is gonna cum spaceman makes it with an alien girl, a change is gonna cum scientists prove we were never here, a change is gonna cum here it comes but oh mama, a change is gonna cum psychodrama, a change is gonna cum

The Big Picture

going round the world don't know where we're going we don't even care but you just can't be from someplace else unless you go somewhere and we're in the same boat so as long as it floats we might as well stop and stare at the big picture the big picture get the big picture we're almost there we're gonna keep on going 'til that new age dawns always keeping an eye on the stars in the sky in case one starts to fall and we're in the same boat as the ones who can't float so they might freak out and sink us all and miss the big picture, going round the world the big picture, got to get it now like a fish in the water you don't know where you've been 'til you jump out and take a look around at the big picture

Pink Jazz Trancers
