getting ready to start my day
the weather makes me smile
it's a beautiful day
when it rains all day
yes i'd like to get an education
and go into the high life
and then climb back down
but i don't know how
to climb back out
i'm not worthy of the chosen road before me
and i don't even know who i wanna be
i'm not listening to the words we wrote on paper
cause i'm not sure if anything is true
it's not true, it's not true
that's not true
but it still sounds musical
put it in my musical
and the musical music is true
and i'm not really sure how to handle it
don't really know what it is
don't really believe it
can't figure out what it says
it makes me weep, skip, sing it while i sleep
conversate with a stranger at 10x speed
and slow it way way down for the memory
slow it way way way down for the ending
[riff, to start another day]
that's the trumpet. get up and go stare at the flag pole
[riff, to continue another beautiful day as it rains all day]
i'm not worthy of this course of entertainment
and i don't even know who i'd rather be
i'm not listening to the words on the soundtrack
cause i keep on getting more confused
and i'm not sure if anything is true
that's not true

at the corner store
it's the corner of a brand new world
you can go in there
just to know what it feels like
it's open, ....and you're going in
oh and you know you can
hoping
you can stay there forever
dun-da-dun-dun-dun
i'm tall and handsome
dun-da-dun-dun-dun
and i'm dancing on the floor
at the corner store
we go all around the world
then it closes
(&) the corner store
is like no other store you've been in before
but now you're here
and you feel these emotions
if you close your eyes
you can watch the minutes of each day going by
but in the store you'll find
the day lasts forever
dun-da-dun-dun-dun
i call and you'll answer
dum-da-dum-dum-dum
and we'll dance through the door
at the corner store
we'll go all around the world
til it closes
the store is opening
you can go through the door
through that rectangular hole in the wall
that's pretty cool
hell, that's pretty good
tell that to the whole dangm neighborhood
and all the people go
'dangm' hell, that's pretty weird
but it seems so logical
so sensible, oo wo oo uhw....
'ah' save that for the screen
save that for the cover of a brand new magazine
with 27 pages
all over the floor
where everyone can read them
at the corner store
up at the corner of a brand new world
it's right here
at a brand new location
you can go outside, and wave 'hi'
to all the other stores going by
then one day
we will all be together
dun-da-dun-dun-dun
when you call, i'll answer
dun-da-dun-dun-dun
and i'm dancing on the wall
at the corner store
you remember who you are
then it slips away
then remember more
at the corner store
we go all around the world
then it closes

i'm feelin you
4thirty2 i wonder
if the feeling's true
9 8 7
what shall i do?
i'm scared and confused
there's numbers in the music
can you feel it... too?
i wonder if you feel the things i'm going through
i wonder if you feel for those things too
i wonder if you wonder
what number we're counting to
whatever number makes the whole thing true
9 8 7
how are you doin?
what is your name, and is it groovy?
is it Mortimer, is it Susan?
is that the correct conclusion?
9 10 11
into the stars
up on the stairway
and through the hall
and you're wondering who you are
cuz it's been so long
i wonder if you're wondering how it got this far
i suppose that you've been wondering what went wrong
15, 14, 13, 12
it's a counting song
count down through the numbers, then it's done
2 and 1
what have you done?
3 and 4
please do it more
5 and 10
around the bend
over and over and under and over and
HOME AGAIN
i wonder if that's somewhere that you've ever been
if it's somewhere that you'd ever go again
i know that most homes are broken, and you don't come back
but your home was never like that
9 8 7
i'm feelin blue
7 6 5
that's still true
4thirty2 i'm nervous
and i don't know what to do
9 8 nothin
where will you go?
when will you leave?
and how will you know?
think of a new number
& then count up to it real slow
ohhh yes i feel the things that you've been goin through
and i know that each thing you feel is so true
a hundred i'm still wondering
what number we're counting to
whatever number makes the whole thing blue
1 1 2
1 1 3
1 1 1

fly around
03:32
|
|||
|
i walk over the earth in special sandals
i took those sandals off
now i can fly around
some people wonder why the sun is not very bright
my arms are much too tired for this conversation
i travel the distance
in between where i was and where i would like to be a little later
the sky is falling, the sky is larger
than any sky could be
oo, ah, oh, ee
my calendar is telling me it's the future
somewhere there's a second scene
with characters that never speak
but you still know exactly what they mean
and you still know exactly what the story will be
i travel the world without my blanket
so when i'm feeling tired
i can just... fly around
most people wonder if the moon is part of the sky
or if it's just a decoration added later
oo, ah, oh, ee
my galaxy is spinning toward the future
somewhere in the 7th scene
when no one understands the point of view
that you now find so familiar
oh
my memories are coming back in ways i wasn't ready for
but i'm still enjoying the way it feels
so i'm holding onto the details
capture this moment
in a series of carefully chosen words and phrases
and then replay it
walk over the earth in special sandals
i kick those sandals off
and watch them fly around
i didn't notice
if they ever landed
but if they do i'll understand the reason
oh, ah, oo, ee
the melody is drifting into the future
and i feel pretty good
about what time it is
about what day it ever was and how it came to this
ooh
the memory is drifting back in ways that i'll
pretend to know and understand
and i pretend to know exactly how the story will end
travel the
walk over the
into the
back to the

i like to wear soft clothing
cause it makes me feel like i'm rough in comparison
don't have to wear a helmet
cause my soft clothes protect me
from my feelings
switched on the tv
it's broken
(thinkin) why didn't i know this?
and my heart is frozen
my mind is open
no one knows this
no, no, nobody knows it
cept for you, cause i just told you
i listen to soft music
cause it makes want to start a war against angrier music
(thinkin) bang boom i win
got the gold medal, but it's just pretend
it might be a losing medal, for losers
wait, no, stop the show,
turn the lights on in the front row
is that you on the stage?
it's the first show of the day
and the show will not be late
i know that the show will change
it's the first note of the tune
it's ringing out like a new pair of shoes
i'll run to you
i belong to you
i like to wear so--ah[wrongkey]
i like to wear soft clothing
cause it makes my friends perceive me much more tenderly
(i got friends! they're pretty friendly)
i wrote a book about friendship
my friends like to read it
they're impressed by the number of pages it has, yeah
walk the cat, i walk my cat
then the cat can walk me back
i'm a fool
like a fool i'm foolish
like a fool i get fooled when something cool is on the news
turn on the news
i get turned on by the news
cause the news gets more views
whenever there's cool news
shh, shh, be very quiet,
sing it too loud, then nobody likes it
there's a rule on the stage
don't be cruel on stage
it's the 4th show of the day
the first 3 went away
i know that the show has changed
til the next note of the tune
we'll sing it out like a new pair of shoes
i'll run to you
i'll come to you
soft clothing is so untouchable
especially when it's juxtaposed with
clothes of different roughnesses
ughf, i'm gonna be.. sic

more than a dream
03:41
|
|||
|
today i woke up in a dream
nothing was the way it seemed
and in that dream, i fell asleep
dreaming bout the things i dreamed.
yesterday things were normal
yesterday things were complete
every day seems so different
every day is so hard to believe
you got to believe
in the dream
believe in the things that the dream can be
and i think the dream can be
the best thing that ever happened to you and me
oh wo wo wo
dreams can be
much better
than anything is supposed to be
wo
i can't believe what i'm seeing
it's more than a dream
and it's more than anyone ever dreamed in history
today i woke up telling the truth
(it) seemed so true it sounded like music
and if i play it cool i can hear you
you almost told me what to do
you got to believe
in freedom
be free to believe in the things you dream of
cuz that's the way that the best dreams can be dreamed of
when you find a way to believe in them
[vocal riff]
dreams make sense
and all the best dreams will be dreamed again
and on the best days you'll believe again
that the best dreams can be real again
i just found a better way
and i'll scream it out and hope you see it my way
and i know that you might find a different way
and i hope you scream it back at me
now that everyone's screaming at me
what does it mean?
on a cool sunday breeze
the sun comes up, though i'm
getting a good night's sleep
slept through every season
i just dreamed the seasons
does anyone want to know the reason for dreaming
what's the reason it's pleasing
can you dream the reason
how much longer will it be
before the whole thing changes into a more realistic scene
before you've seen anything
you can see everything
in the dream
see the things that the dream can see
and you'll see that the dream can be
the best thing that ever happened to you and me
oh wo wo wo
dreams can be
much better
than anything is supposed to be
wo
i can't believe what i'm seeing
it's more than a dream
and it's more than anyone ever dreamed in history
today i woke up

here comes the sun
04:11
|
|||
|
all day and all night
we lay about and wonder what we're gonna do
we speak to ourselves
having a conversation and wondering who we're talking to
then sadness takes over
and sadness wonders what we're gonna do
then sadness comes closer
and sadness comes to sing a song for you.
Oh what a wonderful world (oh)
Oh how you've got to have more (ne ne neng nang neng)
when darkness covers the earth (na na neng nang)
and i know it's the end for sure.....
here comes the sun
here comes the sun
here comes the sun, bringing you love and shining on everyone
Here comes the sun.
here come the raging sun
and it's raging on and so we rage as 1 on until the day is done.
[verse 2]
high on the mountain
the postman comes and says there's still no news.
deep in the city
the buildings wonder if they'll ever be built.
oh what an interesting day
looks like there's nobody in my way
but the road's gonna end, and the storm's comin in
looks like nobody wins today
here comes the sun
here comes the sun
here comes the sun, bringing you love and shining on everyone
here comes the sun.
here come the blazing amazing miracle sun
and it's raging on and still we'll blaze along on until the day is done.
[vamp in new key]
til the day is won and done, gonna rage on into the sun
call up your friends and neighbors, tell them a new day has just begun
i hope you know that there's no stranger strange enough
tell all your friends and neighbors you're no stranger to falling in love
............. i'm just falling in love
............. stop, time's up.
is it really over?
Time waits for no one (and it doesn't wait now either)
[instrumental riff that matches "oh what a something something etc"]
and i can't explain the way that i'm feeling [riff "i agree", etc]
ding ding ding dang ding ding, put it into words and then
send it all over the world!
here comes the sun
here comes the sun
here comes the sun, bringing you love and shining on everyone.
Here comes the sun.
here comes the raging sun
and it's raging on and so we rage as 1 on until the day is done
[riff matching "until the day is done"]
oh until the day is Done.......
if this song ain't good enough i'll erase it

i'm a princess
03:21
|
|||
|
i'm a princess
and i think about the diamonds in the sky too often
do you love me?
or have things gone astray?
buckets
catch the dreams as they fall from my ceiling
and earthquakes come and go
all afternoon
i'm a princess
and i wonder about my neighbors
even though i don't have them
but they're listening
to every word i say
back on the road
back down the road downtown
i don't have courage
but i have something else
and it's more than words
i'm ridiculous
i'm feeling very particular
about my world
[riff]
[riff]
chaka khan
[riff]
what an interesting song
tell me where i belong
[riff]
[riff] tell me what's going on, where i went wrong,
and what's the message in this song?
where are the lessons in this song?
tell it to me once before i'm gone
respect me
i'm a princess
all the soldiers that surround me and make sure i'm lonely
through the daydream
dreamed that it's ok
open the door
close the door
got to get through the other side of the door
open the door
mmmm, there's got to be more
there's got to be so much more
but i don't know what it's there for
i don't know what we're here for
[riff]
[riff] sometimes i think of it when i sleep
[riff]
and i'm dreaming about my friends in need
[solo]
step into the machine and feel the dreams
and all the ingredients in the dream
see what makes them seem so appealing
oops, there goes the ceiling, ohh
i'm a princess
excuse me i read that wrong, i'm a dunce

at the airport terminal
02:48

at the airport terminal the planes are landing
zzzsh zzzsh zzzsh zzzsh zzzsh zzzsh zzzzzsh
i'm traveling somewhere and it feels fantastic
rolling across the terminal floor
blblbbl blblbb blblb blblb blblbl blblbl *bong*
and the sky's so high
and the ground's so low
and i think i'm dying
but i'm just being born
at the airport terminal the planes are landing
and through the terminal we all shall go
at the airport terminal i feel so unusual
everybody here is having an unusual day
it's 10:24 in an unusual time zone
and i'm feelin fine in an unusual way
and we're going so high
as i'm flying so low
and i'm saying goodbye
to the world i know
at the airport terminal the planes are landing
(and) through the terminal we all can grow
and it's time to let go
but i'm lying down on the terminal floor
and i'm running toward the terminal door
and i'm eating porridge, but i've heated it
for the wrong amount of time
at the airport terminal i feel so imaginative
imagining where all the planes are going
(and) when i'm there i'll imagine where i came from
then i'll imagine my way back home
but it's 8:45 and i'm on the next flight
it's going around the world
then we'll fly through the night til the day becomes bright
until the night returns
when will the night return?
hey
at the airport terminal the planes are landing
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
one day soon we will all be together
until then the terminal carries me through

slow down
03:18
|
|||
|
look at the time, upon the wall
the clock is tellin it all wrong
you got to slow down
you got to slow down
slow it right off the wall
you got to slow down
my hat is bent
oh, i got a bent hat
maybe i'll slow down
and straighten it out
and then twist it all around
then put it down
and i'm bobblin down 124th street
and i think i'm bobblin to a brighter day
and the radio's playing a different kind of music
and the universe is starting to shake
look at the time, it's 12;30
i'm going to hell, and i'm late for it
but i'll slow down
and talk about it
and the world goes round and then comes back down
[instrumental verse]
now i'm swingin about my every daily business
and i'm pondering out about how it's daily been
and it's easy to feel if you're useless
but it's strange when you tell your friends
so i re-loaded my fax machine with some fresh clean paper
so i can slow down and have a slow time printing it out
then the roof blew off again and it came back down
and hurricaines and storms cover the landscape
and the picture frames are floating off the wall
and the hourglass is twisting a little bit sideways
and the neighbourhood is all gone
look at the time, on the wall
cuz it's going very very really slowly now
and it's the only thing that anybody ever talks about
and the scientists are always trying to figure out
and the physicists are always letting it bounce around
[1 line inst]
and the novelists are typically writing stories about it
and the journalists are usually breaking news about it
and the pharmacists are frequently making drugs about it
and the charities are always raising money for it
and the client's name is always there
and [client's name] always cares

just did a bad thing
i regret the thing i did
and you're wondering what it is
i'll tell you what i did
i did a bad thing
i'm having a bad day
it's turning into a bad year
all the things i'm supposed to do
and the places i'm supposed to go
are cancelled
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh (oh)
hey, what's the name of this game
and how do you play it?
and how long does it take?
(bing, bong, bay ohhhh)
and how many times is the game going to change? (ahh)
hey, let me out of this place
(and) out into the real world where maybe things can go my way
oh oh oh everything goes my way
oh oh oh everyone knows my name
i'm having a bad dream
i wonder what this bad dream means
i wonder if i'm sad
i wonder if i'm glad,
or if i'm just having a sad glad dream
it's a sad mad and bad glad dream
[instrumental echo]
and i won't get mad about the dream
if you promise to believe in me
it's a sad bad and mad glad scheme
it's the best scheme i have,
and that's bad enough for me
and i won't get sad if you don't see
just how mad glad my schemes can be
just did a bad thing
i've ruined everything
and i've let the things i've ruined ruin me
hey, what's the name of this game
and how do you play it?
and how long shall it take?
(bing, bong, bay ohhhh)
and how many times is the game supposed to change? (ahh)
hey, get me out of this place
(and) out into the real world where maybe things can go my way
oh oh oh everything goes my way
oh oh oh everything goes astray
just did a strange thing
now everything's pink

Mount St. Helens is about to blow up
and it's gonna be a fine, swell day
everything's gonna fall down to the ground and turn grey
all of my friends, family, and animals
probably going to run away
but me, i'm feeling curious
so i think i just might stay.
the Dow Jones just fell down to zero
and it's gonna be a fine, swell day
and i wonder if it's gonna be as good a day as yesterday
all of these business suits that i've just purchased
gonna have to throw them all away
and slip into something more reasonable
and then dance the night away
i'm riding a pony
into the sunset
everything's green and gold
so i'm not in hell yet
and the people who work in my office went on vacation
cuz they say that i haven't been paying them very much anymore
mount st. helens has a pretty cool gift shop
and i haven't been there in a while
and i've been wondering if it's even still there
and the climate has been changing
and soon it's gonna change more
and we'll figure out all of the details
in climate change court
take a ride on my blimp
oh, it's a very strong blimp
you can watch movies and play games
while riding on it
and when the sun goes down
and the sky burns out
we'll never slow down
oh, we're not going down
mount st. helens is feeling crazy and adventurous
that's the reason that it's so special
and it takes no answers
and it gives no questions
and it makes no excuses
and it really doesn't listen
and it seems so eccentric
and it looks so active
and it dreams of puppies
and it's filled with music

i'm best friends with my own front door
i just closed it, but it's opening more
then the cops came, and they sent me to jail
but tomorrow i'm gonna open it again
i'm the post man and i've got cool clothes
i'm the neighbours and i'm wearing cool shoes
and i'm dreaming of a brand new world
and i'm hoping that it comes real soon
but i saw a sign
i saw the sign
it's a bad, bad, sign
said it's not gonna happen
and it's not what it seems
you're not gonna make it
and it's not meant to be
but f*k them, i just climbed a huge mountain
but everyone told me i couldn't do it
and i feel real nice
cuz i got lots of money in my bank account
and i walk down the street
people throw things at me
like breakfast, and strength tests
(oh this is cool)
how much can i bench press?
(oh, i'm very strong)
time to win some awards
i'm gonna do everything that you're not supposed to do
i'm gonna open to page 1 and then skip ahead to page 2
cuz i'm hungry and scared and i can't find the truth
so i'm leaving
oh, there's my balloon
over the trees, under the bridge, and over the town
i'm gonna tell you the things that i'm feeling out loud
and they changed all the rules then i wrote them all again
that's how the game begins
oh, that's how i get home again

might quit
02:44
|
|||
|
it's the first day of school
and i think i might quit
cuz the things i've been seeing in here don't make sense
so i packed up my things and i walked thru the door and i'm
going somewhere else instead
so i chopped down some trees
and i built a small house
and i just might be small enough to live in it
then the rain came pouring down
and it made some cool sounds
and i'll tell you what those sounds said
(said) hello and goodbye
do you feel alright
with the days gone by
i'll never waste my time
i'll never say goodbye
yes i will but i won't say it tonight
so i picked a new character
and i've just chose my shirt
and i'm going to the land of the 2 letter words
on in up at or so, by if to of no it
it's a feeling we can't forget
hello and goodnight
do you feel alriiiight
do you remember the days gone by
do you remember the way that we dreamed we could change our lives
do you feel like changing your mind
it's the first day of school
and i think i might quit
cuz the things that i'm feeling still don't make sense
and i've tried to explain
and it hurts to describe
so i'll sing this song instead
[instrumental melody]
hello and goodbye
do you think i'm dying
do you think i'm going somewhere else this time
do you remember the day we pretended to be every star in the sky
it's the first day of school
but i think might quit
gonna learn some new lessons i won't forget
gonna write them all down in the language of love
and then teach them to everyone

.... oh , it looks like you believed me
one time i put too much change in the laundry machine
the laundry machine, oh the laundry was clean
well i guess that makes me one clean sun of a gun, ooh ah
hey hey hey, look at me, i'm a crazy machine
i say what i mean, whenever i please
well i guess that's just my little way of chasing my dreams
it helps me get free, to say what i mean , ..
well i guess that makes me one lean mean machine, oooh eeeh
but i know that's just the way it's gotta be
there are miracles in kansas, you can see them on tv
but how much do those folks get paid to
say what they're seeing is a
mystery
i'm gonna sing a tune on the count of 3
you can sing it too, if you please
and if it makes you feel okay, then i've done my job today ,
and maybe get some sleep at night
well i'm camped out in the yard
and i'm staring at the stars
thinkin about green leaves, green stems, green trees, green automobiles,
green flying machines
girls in green blue jeans
i've been waiting so long just to find the girl for me
one who thinks and talks of crazy things just like me
but i ain't gonna find her in Florida
no i ain't gonna find her in Houston, oh,
no i ain't gonna find her in America
i'm gonna write a song on the count of 3

it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be just fine

How I Know
it's written in the sky
anything you wanted to do, but
people told you you could not do

anything you wanted to be, but
hater tell you you could not be

it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be just fine
if anybody wonderin
How I Know

bridge:
you're made to do the things you do,
and i know you are ready to do it
i know that it's crazy
but you just have to see it through
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be just fine
and it feels like i've told you 1000 times
it's gonna be just fine
it's gonna be alright
it's gonna be just fine
if anybody wants to ax me why
it's written in your eyes
