My mind is wandering around It never slows down, it never slows down Thoughts spring out of the ground They never run out, they never run out Waves of laughter fill the room I’m swimming in it now But it’s all in my mind My mind is wandering around It never slows down, it never slows down Lines form out of the crowd They’re tying me down, they’re tying me down My back is on the pavement But my head is in the clouds But it’s all in my mind Da Da ...... I’m speaking in a whisper But I’m thinking in a shout But it’s all in my mind

I know I’ve got a lot to figure out But I’m not going to worry about it now Because all my friends are standing by We’re going to go out tonight I know we’ve got a lot to talk about But I don’t want to hear about it now Because all the world is hanging by A string tied to my finger tight From what I see there’s all lot like me Ooh everything feels a lot like me From what I see there’s all lot like me Ooh everything feels a lot like me Everyday I play along with what is going on Well I should pay attention too, but it’s just so hard to do Like they do, yes they do Like we do, yes we do From what I see there’s all lot like me Ooh everything feels a lot like me From what I see there’s all lot like me Ooh everything feels a lot like me

Barefoot at breakfast is the way I get to be myself before I face the day And each foot gets locked up in its own little cage I’d rather be barefoot always Day after day goes by stuck in the same routine Until the weekend comes and my time belongs to me A trail of socks and shoes lead to my happy feet I get the feeling naturally They try to pick at me, they want to whittle me down With their covered feet always acting so proud But it’s just jealousy, they want to let them hang out They want to be like me, but they’re never allowed Barefoot at breakfast They try to pick at me, they want to whittle me down With their covered feet always acting so proud But it’s just jealousy, they want to let them hang out They want to be like me, but they’re never allowed Barefoot at Breakfast

P.C.H. 02:50
I’m riding a wave again That’s close to the end I’m letting it pull me in Till the next one begins I’ve seen it a hundred times Every era must die Before you realize It’s waving goodbye It could be any place We’re going today The Pacific Coast Highway Is leading the way I know the place, but I’m making haste and it’s out of the way I know the place, but I’m making haste and it’s out of the way

Long Night 02:48
Wide awake, what’s that sound I won’t call them I tell myself just calm down I won’t call them Mom and Dad get so annoyed I won’t call them I swore I’d be a good little boy I won’t call them tonight It’s a long night Something’s hiding beneath my bed I won’t call them It still hasn’t got me yet I won’t call them I’ll be feeling good enough I won’t call them Once I can pull the covers up I won’t call them tonight It’s a long night

Call-In Show 02:51
Though I try, I can’t get through But there’s something I need to do Repeat the words you say are true Just to prove I’m just like you My ears glued to the radio For my favorite call-in show What’s my opinion? I’ve got to know I’m going to have to listen to the radio I practice my speech everyday I know just what I’m going to say Before I get they chance to speak They cut me off another week My ears glued to the radio For my favorite call-in show What’s my opinion? If you want to know You’re going to have to listen to the radio

Bears agree the most important thing is the honey bee, it’s the honey bee You can’t ignore all the joy they bring, cos they’re honey bees, yeah the honey bee When the night time falls on our hollow tree They do what they do even while we sleep I’m not helping out, no I’m not pitching in There’s so much more of them
8.
What took up all my time? Before you filled my mind Now my thoughts run dry There are no feelings to disguise No vague words to analyze I don’t feel so right I’ve got nothing to do Since I took my mind off you I’m so bored I can’t move And I see no end in view It’s too cold to go outside Television burns my eyes It’s a sad sad sight I wish I could say that I Am so busy all the time I’m not going to lie I’ve got nothing to do Since I took my mind off you I’m so bored that I can’t move And I see no end in view Yeah I’ve got nothing to do Since I took my mind off you I’d almost rather still be blue Than just sit here like a fool

Tumble & Fly 04:56
OK, I’ll come along It’s not so far, it won’t take long I’ve been feeling different too Every time we talk Blue skies on my mind Now I realize in time Then over the wheel I tumble and fly, Carry me back in my mind Ooh I just want to be kind, Carry me back in my mind OK, I got it wrong It’s my fault, I brought it on But I’ll be feeling good as new By the time we talk Blue skies on my mind Now I realize in time Then over the wheel I tumble and fly, carry me back in my mind Ooh I just want to be kind, carry me back in my mind Ooh I know when I’m right, carry me back in my mind Ooh I just want to be kind, carry me back in my mind Save nothing for a rainy day Good riddance to them now But I know my place and I know that face Yes I know my place, I got carried away, carried away Blue skies on my mind Now I realize Then over the wheel I tumble and fly, carry me back in my mind Ooh I just want to be kind, carry me back in my mind Ooh I know when I’m right so carry me back in my mind Ooh I just want to be kind, carry me back in my mind

Sun vs. Moon 03:13
Sun wrote a letter to the moon I’ve got some words to say to you You better change your attitude You took my place up in the sky You stole a world that once was mine It’s time to make it right I was so young Now I’m a setting sun Where did you come from? The world is mine I started it And I want every part of it Go away, away I still see you glistening You must not be listening Go away, away Moon wrote a letter to the sun Yeah, I see where you coming from But you know the truth, your day is done All God’s children love the night When they can pretend their sin’s alright So kiss the day goodbye Don’t get me wrong I’ve been here all along So quit your same old song The world is mine I started it And I want every part of it Go away, away I still see you glistening You must not be listening Go away, away, and stay away

Same Clothes 04:20
Dude fell into the world And lucked into a good life His hair was bleached by the sun Bowl cut with one straight line Thoughts fell out of his brain His creations kept him entertained His tow head darkened with time Now he combs it to the ride side He’s looking at everything he knows Wondering where the time all goes He could’ve been anything But still wears the same clothes Some things happen His heart can not condone But as long as he’s laughing He just rolls along He just keeps on rolling along Dude grew into a man And saw some things he could not understand But he takes it all in a stride After all, his is a good life He’s looking at everything he knows Wondering where the time all goes He could’ve been anything But still wears the same clothes Some things happen His heart can not condone But as long as he’s smiling He just rolls along He just keeps on rolling along

What is the reason that they go on like they do? ‘Til all of a sudden then they act just like all fool? Live how you want to live and say what you want to say But each day try to make it not like the other days What is the reason when we lay our freedom down? We take it for granted when we feel it all around Love fills the empty space if that’s what you create Each day appreciate this is not like the other days Monday, Someday, Each Day, All Day Tuesday, Work Day, One Day, Today Friday, Pay Day, Snow Day, Play Day Bad Day, Worse Day, Good Day, My Day Sunday, Fun Day, Sick Day, Sad Day Firsy Day, Fast Day, Slow Day, Last Day Birthday
