I'm feelin happy
So highly evolved
My times a riddle that'll never be solved
Dreamin for somethin
Reachin for somethin
Just waitin for the sun to carry me in
If you feel low
You can buy love
From a payphone
I don't feel low
My brother Bill
He work for the market
Life is an arrow now and he is the target
Dreamin for somethin
Reachin for somethin
Just waitin for the sun to carry me in
If you feel low
You can buy blow
From a payphone
I don't feel low
Highly evolved
I don't feel low
Highly evolved

Autumn Shade
Slip into the autumn shade
I could sleep for days
But I like the sun when
I can hear another sound
It's a long way down
Keep my head up
Who am I to be this way
Dreamin so insane
But I like the sun when
Falling through another plan
Never one the same
Keep my head up
I could sleep for days
But I like the sun when
I can hear another sound
It's a long way down
Keep my head up
Who am I to be this way
Dreamin so insane
But I like the sun when
Falling through another plan
Never one the same
Keep my head up

No time for me to say
Everyone in the world don't affect you

Homesick
I left my home
I left my home yeah, yeah
Where I should go
Where I should go yeah, yeah
Nothin's gonna save you
Nothin's gonna save you out there
Went on my own
Went on my own yeah, yeah
Without my phone
Without my phone yeah, yeah
Nothin's gonna save you
Nothin's gonna save you out there
Nothin's gonna save you
Nothin's gonna save you or give
I can see the leaves of golden glisten in the sun
Making time for everyone is what I should have done.
Blue and green with eyes between are acting all the same
You and me are never free until we're cast away
But it really doesn't matter couldn't change it if I tried
Though it really doesn't matter
I'll do it till I get it right
I left my home yeah, yeah
Where I should go
Where I should go yeah, yeah
Nothin's gonna save you
Nothin's gonna save you out there
Went on my own
Went on my own yeah, yeah
Without my phone

Nothin's gonna save you
Nothin's gonna save you out there
Nothin's gonna save you

Country Yard
I'm tired of feeling sick and useless
Then speakin' every other way
Gluin' my eyes together girl
Might be the right escape
There's nothin' in the secret garden
Just images of blue and white
Losin' my mind forever girl
May be the only sign
Down in a country yard
I was taken by the shadows
Although we couldn't see that far
I was dreamin' of tomorrow
I really don't need a change
I really don't need what's mine
Out in a country yard
It'll be just fine
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Down in a country yard
I was taken by the shadows
Although we couldn't see that far
I was dreamin' of tomorrow
I really don't need a change
I really don't need what's mine
Out in a country yard
It'll be just fine
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Then speakin' every other way
Gluin' my eyes together girl

There's nothin' in the secret garden
Just images of blue and white

Factory
Days are long but the minds are strong
In the factory
Heads are down and all the people frown
In the factory
I'm so down I put my head around every noose I see
Days are long but the minds are strong
In the factory
Eyes are mean but the walls are clean
In the factory
Patience now they're gonna string you out
In the factory
I'm so tired I never go outside every night I sleep
Days are long but the minds are gone
In the factory
In the factory
Heads are down and all the people frown
In the factory
I'm so down I put my head around every noose I see
Days are long but the minds are strong

Mary Jane
Mary Jane said life's a wait
I already knew
Because we're down
We'll lose the town
Just like I would choose
Mary Jane said minds are games
I went to the moon
Before we know
She'll have to go
Wish I were there too
But I've got to go
Mary Jane [x8]
Mary says
I, I can love you
Life's a wait
Why, why should I lose
When I've got to go
Mary Jane [x9]
I already knew
Because we're down
We'll lose the town
Just like I would choose
Mary Jane said minds are games
I went to the moon
Before we know
She'll have to go
Wish I were there too
But I've got to go
Mary Jane [x8]
Mary says
I, I can love you
Life's a wait
Why, why should I lose
When I've got to go

Aint No Room
There ain't no room for me in the city
The lights go down but it looks so pretty
So take me away from the corner
Let me hide away in the fauna
With something at my side
Forget it now forget it then
We'll hang around without a care
There ain't no room for me in the city
The lights go down but it looks so pretty
So take me away from the corner
Let me hide away in the fauna
With something at my side
Going outta my head
Was it something I read
Forget it now
Forget it then
We'll hang around without a care
The lights go down but it looks so pretty
So take me away from the corner
Let me hide away in the fauna
With something at my side
Forget it now forget it then
We'll hang around without a care
There ain't no room for me in the city
The lights go down but it looks so pretty
So take me away from the corner
Let me hide away in the fauna
With something at my side
Going outta my head
Was it something I read
Forget it now
Forget it then
We'll hang around without a care

1969
Its 1969 in my head
I just wanna have no place to go
Livin thru the sound of the dead
I'm gonna get stoned look round at my soul
I'm hearin voices in the trees
And seein footsteps in the rain
I just wanna die before I loose my dol
I have been cryin in my sleep
Cause I dont kno where i've been
I just wanna live to see another day
Hey hey hey hey [x8]
When I get my buick six
I'll see my life drop in that whirlpool
If I get to see you again
You're the only one I know
Here we go
There I stand
I'm a seed
Of a man
Dare I go
Dare I stare
I'm a seed
of a man
I just wanna have no place to go
Livin thru the sound of the dead
I'm gonna get stoned look round at my soul
I'm hearin voices in the trees
And seein footsteps in the rain
I just wanna die before I loose my dol
I have been cryin in my sleep
Cause I dont kno where i've been
I just wanna live to see another day
Hey hey hey hey [x8]
When I get my buick six
I'll see my life drop in that whirlpool
If I get to see you again
You're the only one I know
Here we go
There I stand
I'm a seed
Of a man
Dare I go
Dare I stare
I'm a seed
of a man
