Third World Girl

Security
Was all I was after
But I found so much more
You made me start the thinking
And I don't regret a thing

I guess you made me understand
What you want and what you need
Sometimes my eyes are so blind
You've given up so much for me

Give me time
To let everything sink in
The future seems so bright
Now that the day of eternity is here

You're my third world girl
Taking me for a ride
On a carpet made of flowers
High up in the sky
You have lived in a far away jungle
In a house up on the mountain
Surrounded by the bluest water
There's an ocean breeze
As the moon rests in her eyes
Footsteps turn on the gold
And her skins so dark from the sunshine

I have opened up your new life
I will give you everything
You've got to put your time in me

Man In The Corner

You can laugh so hard that you cry
The world won't hear you if you call
Endless streets now you don't know where to go
Your moving so fast yet still goin slow

Running your running
Right down your endless streets
I'm not too far behind you are you trying
Up there what's there a lonely man I see
Sitting in the corner of his broken dreams

Powered by the means that left him restless
Stranded all alone
Wasted by the people not for friendship
Losing on his own

Home

Hey have you picked up anymore
Marbles off the floor
The streets you once lived on
Are now gone
Time will never stop
And that stilts we used to walk on
Are now too weak
For you and me to walk on now

Looking out among the clouds
Right through the rain
Massive mountain tops in the front of me
I want to go home
Where I know it is safe
And everybody's watching out for me

Home that's where I live
Spend most of my time
Here there's too much unrest
Nothing goes as planned
So let's leave and go on home
Before it gets too late
Dancing to the music all night long

Pete's Shoes

A gift of life
See the sunset
Mother earth
On the sand
Feel the impressions inside my head
My minds a wandering
My minds a wandering

And I can't forget the way I feel
I won't forget now that I know
Something that drives me to the end
And leaves

Going by my instincts they know what's right
I try not to keep it all inside
Sometimes when I'm sitting on the edge
I need to push me

So when your knocking
Sn my door
If I open wil you open up to me
If I let you will you go all the way
Will you join me will you join me

People Like You

You complainer what you complaining about
Why don't you take a good look
See what this world is all about
When your feeling sorry for yourself
And there's a roof over your head
Remember the man who's got a box for a bed

We don't need people like you
You have got to lose that attitude

When your worried about your bills
Are being paid on time
Look at the man who shops a the five and dime
He has got a lot of coupons
That fill up his hat
That man he's living out of a garbage can

And he digs through the waste of you and me
He doesn't have a family
How can you be unhappy where you are
When I see you driving your fancy car
You have got limbs to walk and run
That man in the chair doesn't have none

We don't need people like you

back

Life

You're lying on the cross
They come up to you
Blood rushing through your veins
And you don't know what to do
They said you were crucified
For all of your sins
Now you're dead
Dead on the cross

Millions of people died in your name
Is this the way you make them feel your pain
Tv preachers tell us all
Your coming back to save man from his fall
I have my doubts
About what you say
Because it's hell
Living from day to day

Ultimatum

Sitting on the couch watching time slip away
Reach for your lighter to burn another way
The clock runs fast while you run slow
Nothing worth doing and nowhere to go

Don't blame it on the herb
You get what you deserve
There are people all around that it has served
I know how you feel
I have been there before
But now it's up to you I can't do any more

I can't wait for you another day
Your attitude has got to change
What else do you expect me to say
Get off your ass or I'm on my way

Maybe life is pointless and full of pain
But slowly dragging through it drives me insane
I know we were close and I will miss you
But I can't wait around there's so much I want to do

Don't blame it on the herb
You get what you deserve
There are people all around that it has served
What can I do when you ask me for help?
I have tried everything but you do it for yourself

I know you just want to dull the pain
But life goes fast and you stalled in the slow lane
You know you're lagging and it's time to shift gears
And blow this rut you have been stuck in for years

Now it's time, it's time for a change

back

Forward

Hey can you hear anything
Can the music make you move
Can inspiration still be enough
To make you want to play
Are there any lies behind the truth

They they just don't understand
What we are gonna play
Try to tell us how to peak our minds
We are going forward

Racer X

I run but I'm running in place
There's no place to hide
I drive but I'm losing the race
I'm only along for the ride

When I was younger they were easily satisfied
Win or lose it didn't matter as long as you tried

But now the game is not just for fun
I have to run I have to run like Racer X chasing the sun

I feel like a shadow of a man
There's nothing left inside
I see nothing but demands
Wonde when the real me died

And I like a cartoon man who runs from place to place
I'm two dimensional there's no depth in my face

back

School

I'm going to tell you a story
About what I did all day
The story's about my old school
And there's not too much to say

I came from a school surrounded by fences
The unbearable stench dulling my senses
Walkie talkie ladies guared the grounds
Stupid jocks and preppies ran all around

I wrote my name on the bathroom wall
Six teachers walked me down the hall
The principal's office is where I sat
He beat me over the head with a baseball bat
Got to get away
Glad I got away

back

Skywalker

Keep track of what's going on
Learing from my failure I'm not afraid to fall
Don't want to dig my hole and deeper
Still think I need your help

Fear the pilot who steers the ship
Don't get off the train
Are you afraid
I'm not

No tickets to my paradise
It's all inside
Don't be afraid to explore your mind
And go crazy

Will you open be open armed
Save me from this wreck I'm not afraid to die
Keep digging down I'm over my head
What are you

I won't flu on the ship
Eating you off a piece of paper
Then freaked off my trip

And now it's later on
And I won't end this way
My high is so much stronger
All the colors in my hole

Am I alive?

I've just lost a portion of my mind
But I have opened a new door
I won't forget the time that you showed me
