She says, ‘Don’t bother waiting around.” I say, “Don’t waste your time in the crowd.” Like looking into glass, every piece is unique Like steppin’ out the door, tongue in cheek Like an old pan, your mind will rust Say hello to your intention Say hello to your brave new world Drops you dead when the world is at your hand The man says, “I weep for the chosen few.” The woman weeps at the turn of screw Like every solid question is a mark before god Like a kiss on the cheek, a wink and a nod Like the devil at a party, perfectly dressed Say hello to your intention Say hello to your brave new world Drops you dead when the world is at your hand A Woo Hoo Hoo Time is a copter Ego, an airplane You better watch your step You better watch your step You better check yourself now A Woo Hoo Hoo The screen says, “Don’t bother with your brother.” The new gods say, “Don’t say these words!” I say “People get what they deserve.” Like all you need is given from a lollipop spoon Like every single era draws its knowledge from a tomb Like to know is to really not Say hello to your intention Say hello to your brave new world Drops you dead when the world is at your hand A Woo Hoo Hoo Time is a copter Ego, an airplane You better watch your step You better watch your step You better check yourself now A Woo Hoo Hoo Woo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo

Cowboy 05:32
What do a Cowboy know? Riding on the trail from dawn to dusk What do a cowboy say? Riding all alone on the range What races through his mind, wind blowing across his face? With the chores all done at the end of another day.. Cowboy, oh, cowboy, your love is miles away Well how can he cross the fields that separate you from him? When does he lay his head down on another sleepless night? He says, “One more dance tonight with a lonesome hand?” ‘Then I’ll start the day all over, once again.” She says in a letter, “Cowboy, will you hang up them reins?” “Will you make it home to stay?” And the Cowboy knows the times they do change But the dream is still held tight.. And the cowboy knows the times they do change But the dream is still held tight.. What do a Cowboy know? Harmonica or accordion solo What do a Cowboy know? When he’s riding on the range all alone What is a Cowboy to say? When he wants to come home to stay When he’s longing for his home to stay And the Cowboy knows the times they do change But the dream is still held tight.. And the Cowboy knows the winds may climb, clamoring at his side What do a Cowboy know? What do a Cowboy ever know?

By the natural light she spoke like paisley knaves on through a joke of such I said the her " I asked what have I done?" I prayed and yearned for one, said have some fun By the natural light she spoke, I moved the way articulate to tote Perhaps a fall or maybe fly? I can't be sure, I don't know why Something about the way we held ourselves, move alone By the natural light oh yeah Refrain By the natural light she spoke, she said, "I'm going away, I got to get out of here," "Something about freedom and fallin' ain't exactly clear where I want to go." She left something with me, and that she spoke By the natural light yeah Refrain- What are you saying to me? What are you saying to me? Goodbye? harmonica solo By the natural light she spoke, she said, "I'm leaving now, this times for sure," "Something not far but somethings close between." "Maybe I was a lonesome cowboy Bill,” and that she spoke. By the natural light, oh yeah Refrain What are you saying to me? What are you saying? Goodbye?

I kinda like the way her hair falls down her face, it leaves me better I kinda like the way she’s subtle full of grace, hmmm I kinda like the way the candlelight it bathes her right as she slips into my room I kinda like her way I kinda like the way her style shades her pure form I kinda like the way she says take me dancing, you can take me anywhere And the way she trembles with desire deep behind her eyes As the hazelet drops give way to eternity as she cries And words were written She has no need for me to be her; she just wants me in her world She has no need for forever; she’ll take tomorrow or today In her soul, she is complete, to handle dark times as they come and go Her eyes on god eternally, a glory to behold And words were written

We left for New Orleans in the early hour Went through a town destroyed by its power I guess we’ll never know Captain America I guess won’t see any difference today I told them about a way of life of gold untold It was so indifferent; I was thrown out of the farm I guess we’ll never know Captain America I guess won’t see any difference today The deliverer got control of the purse Giving killers kitchen knives, poison to carve up cakes of pleasure I didn’t tell you they’d carve out your heart I guess we’ll never know Captain America I guess won’t see any difference today Gonna rise up, sing it anyway Gonna rise up, sing it anyway I was in the super-modern ego, fuck you fast paced lane I had fear and I didn’t care if I was insane I slept in the crotch of artificiality When I got back home I found nothing changed at all, yeah at all I guess we’ll never know Captain America I guess won’t see any difference today Gonna rise up, sing it anyway Gonna rise up, sing it anyway Well the night fell and I faded into the clear Well I wondered why I was meant for here, yeah for here I guess we’ll never know Captain America I guess we won’t see any difference today Gonna rise up, sing it anyway Gonna rise up, sing it anyway Say, I guess we’ll never know Captain America I guess we won’t see any difference today Gonna rise up, sing it anyway Gonna rise up, sing it anyway

Your Soul 03:26
Well I couldn’t have thought any longer, about where I stood with you And the capsizing rhythms of falsity grew adeptly for you I bled I said, you can’t, I won’t, follow, hide it from your sight I bled I said, you can’t, I won’t, follow, hide it from your sight From your sight Fought like a crime indefinitely, the subtle put to waste And all that was built in the spark of life is falling to your fate Approach I said, you can’t, I won’t, follow, hide it from your sight Approach I said, you can’t, I won’t, follow, hide it from your sight Calling out, for one last breath, calling out yeah, yeah To your soul Well I couldn’t have thought any longer, about where I stood with you And as it fades, you know, there’s nothing I can do Approach I said, you can’t, I won’t, follow, hide it from your sight Approach I said, you can’t, I won’t, follow, hide it from your sight Calling out, calling out, for one last breath, Calling out, calling out to our soul Hear me calling out, calling out, yeah, yeah To your soul
