Our Little World
So when today becomes tomorrow; yeah yeah
And I’m chompin’ at the bit; yeah yeah yeah
Our little world is the best place to be.
The mind unfurls and there’s only you and me. Yeah.
We crank the cave at 4 in the mornin; yeah yeah
It’s just my favourite time of day; yeah yeah yeah
Our little world fills the soul with light and sound.
We’re dancing weird, going sideways, round and round
And I’m smiling, yeah.
Suddenly there’s a crazy breakdown
I say we need a gong.
Wave on wave of sonic madness
And still it don’t feel wrong.
The whirling dervish inside your head
Takes flight around the stars.
All the letters and smokin lasers,
Perhaps we’ve gone too far,
But I’m smiling, yeah.
Our little world is the best place to be.
The mind unfurls and there’s only you and me.
And we're smiling, yeah.

Stick Around.
I paint the walls for you -
You do the fur.
I'll write the songs for you -
You talk to the earth.
I'll feel the glory of light and sound.
You're in the story
So stick around ... stick around.

These Days
Pass me a lighter, I wanna burn one down.
Gonna walk round town in a haze, yeah.
Have an all nighter, I'd love for you to come.
Feel like hanging out these days.
You're so pretty, it makes the lights go on
In this city; there they are!
I wrote this ditty. I hope it makes you smile.
It's all I wanna see these days.
We'll wake tomorrow and meet the cool grey sky.
Trying to stay high for the rain that'll come.
We'll pass the clouds, man and hurtle into space
Knowing that you and I are one.
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
You get me high now
I wonder why now?
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm
You get me high
And I know why.

A Call To Arms
Show me you got it;
The will to love
For all time and for everyone.
I know it’s easy
But this world tries
To break the thought that we’re all one.
Come on, surprise me.
You need the space
To reach within and fly without.
The ju-ju inside you
Is all you need
To see what this life is all about.
This is a call to arms
For those who know.

More Mind People

More Mind People
Softly, gentle moose collide
Glowing with the fear of the outside.
This was heaven months or years back.
Contentment was in our hearts.
Sunlight strikes on the window,
Imprinting an impression
That stares down at you as eyes,
In two by the horizontal frame.
Invisible green fencing holds you captive.
The brown of dead leaves pokes through.
Tunnel vision encases this world.
I come here to think and explore.
Hidden glances from the ‘sometime’ people
Show contempt for the thinker.
But they know little of the returning –
The open space, the bright yellow door.
But there will always be more
But there will always be more mind
But there will always be more mind people.
They’re keeping me company.

Well Lost

Well Lost
Maybe I'm just a dipstick,
Pokin'; Stirring up the mire.
Searching for the truth.
Hope I find it here drinking;
Smokin'. I'm climbing on a wire.
Hope the landing's smooth.
I'm flying out there.
Well lost, but I don't care.
Unsure of who or where I'm going to.
Maybe I'm just a sinner,
Walkin'. Talking 'good old days'.
They've gone away.
Meeting up with my peers, we're
Moanin'; wishing life away.
What the hell do I say?
I'm flying out there.
Well lost, but I don't care.
Unsure of who or where I'm going to.
I'll think about you on the mountain.
Forget the things that you are doubting.
Change your view, become a fountain
And pour all over.

Who Are You?

Who Are You?
Who are you? and why are we in a confusion, and lost.
Adrift on the sea.
Life is odd and so are we. So stop the fight and try to be.
Look alive and feel the moment. Make it a good one -
it's all you got.
Fear is nothing. Send it away. Do what you want; after all it's your day.
Every day of the week is monday
Have no fun day. I'm just hanging around.
Killing time and my life's dissolving,
Problem solving - What's the use?
I found a world I can be myself
and free myself. the pain has all gone away.
I got the time to forget the hassle.
Build a castle my own way.
Who are you? and why are we In a confusion, and lost.
Adrift on the sea.
Life is odd and so are we. So stop the fight and try to be.

Things'll Get Better
I live in the future; All the lights are aglow.
We constantly butcher all the things we don't know.
The sky is falling and the world's gone grey.
No-one does anything 'til the end of the day
But I know ...
I can see the fear of the present in your eyes.
Try to open up
And change the lows to highs.
'Cos things'll get better.
The path of compassion has no material gain.
We'll only learn this when we're off the gravy train.
Don't be invisible in this wild etheric land.
Join up with others; They will lend you a hand.
And I know ...
I can see the fear of the present in your eyes.
Try to open up
And change the lows to highs.
'Cos things'll get better.

Let Me See You Shine
Now that we're underground
I can't see the sky.
We can no longer fly.
Notice the muffled sound
Through the soil above.
It sounds like love.
Get up, shake that shit off ya.
I know you're clean under there.
Your time has come, let me see you shine
It's all right.
Taking my time today.
Feeling lazy now.
I'm a sacred cow.
Stuck in this fake shangri-la
You can feel the mire.
We got to get higher.
Now that we're over ground
I can see the sky.
And we're gonna fly...
