Train
What ya gonna do child
when your thoughts are movin' slow
find another to show you where to go
you'll be searchin' for that train
and you'll see it's a train
What ya gonna do child
when your mommy goes away
she won't take you
she'll leave you astray
you'll be searchin' for that train
and you see yourself
searchin' for somebody else
but you know for sure it's that train
What ya gonna do child
when you leave it all behind
find another, to blow it in your mind
you'll be searchin' for that train
and you'll see it's a train
and you see yourself
searchin' for somebody else
but you know for sure it's that train

Superfly
Here I am and I'm waitin'
on a chance to
make it right
Every word you say
makes my heart go bang bang
'cause it sounds so nice
Well I've been alone
and you've been a fool
oh baby don't you know that's the golden rule
Well I've been alone
and you've been a fool
oh baby don't you know that's the way I like it
Let me take you away
on the wings of my Superfly
Maybe we'll celebrate
all the room in the sky
Heaven knows we'll go boom boom boom
What can I do
to get you in the mood
baby I give up
I'm so misused
and you're so confused
it's such a drag
Well I've been alone
and you've been a fool
oh baby don't you know that's the golden rule
Well I've been alone
and you've been a fool
oh baby don't you know that's the way I like it
Let me take you away
on the wings of my Superfly
Maybe we'll celebrate
all the room in the sky
Heaven knows we'll go boom boom boom
Here I am and I'm waitin'
on a chance to
make it right
Do I turn you on
or maybe do I turn you off
could you just decide
Well I've been alone
and you've been a fool
oh baby don't you know that's the golden rule
Well I've been alone
and you've been a fool
oh baby don't you know that's the way I like it
Let me take you away
on the wings of my Superfly
Maybe we'll celebrate
all the room in the sky
Heaven knows we'll go boom boom boom

What's Up
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
And I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
ooh, ooh ooh
and I try, oh my god do I try
I try all the time, in this institution
And I pray, oh my god do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey hey hey hey
I said hey, what's going on?
Twenty-five years and my life is still
Trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
Pleasantly Blue
Every time you wake in the morning
and you start to cry
and I figure there's something up baby
but you don't tell me why
And I know that's why I call you blue
'cause I figure something baby
that's why I call you pleasantly blue
Hush hush you walk on by
you don't say a word
talk to me baby, talk to me baby
what haven't I heard
And I know that's why I call you blue
'cause I figure something baby
that's why I call you pleasantly blue
Oh no, here we go
what's wrong with you
come here baby, come to me baby
what can I do
Yea I know that's why I call you blue
'cause I figure something baby
that's why I call you pleasantly blue
'cause I figure something baby
that's why I call you pleasantly blue

Morphine & Chocolate
Substitute my gloom with happiness
substitute my sickness with health
substitute my enemies with real good friends
Morphine & chocolate are my substitute, substitutes
morphine & chocolate can bring me up
can warm my heart whenever I want it
and every once in a while when I stop and think
morphine & chocolate are my substitute, substitutes
And you can say "hey, we've really come a long way"
and you can say "say, it can only be this way"
but, you might be careful, it really, it really come a long way
And you can say "hey, it can only be this way"
but, you might be careful, it really hurts when it's real
you might be careful, it really hurts when it's real
you might be careful, it really hurts when it's real
you'll go down, down, down, ooh
Set the alarm clock, baby,
don't you miss the sun?
I'm feeling really warm hearted baby
don't you know I'm feeling like someone
I'm fearing for my heart
Morphine & chocolate could never substitute my art!
and that's real love baby
and that's real love baby
and that's real love babySpaceman
Starry night bring me down
Till I realize the moon
It seems so distant yet I felt it pass right through
And I see what I see a new world is over me
So I'll reach up to the sky
And pretend that I'm a spaceman
In another place and time
I guess I'm looking for a brand new place
Is there a better life for me?
Subtle wind blow me gone
Let me rest upon your move
I trust I'll end up sleeping cradled in my doom
And I feel what I feel
I can't grasp what is not real
So I'll get myself real high
And imagine I'm a spaceman
In another place and time
I guess I'm looking for a brand new place
Is there a better life for me?
I remember in my mind
They say I'm daydreaming
Is it all that it seems
Or am I all the things I'm looking for? ?ooh!
And I see what I see a new world is over me
And I'll reach up to the sky
And imagine I'm a spaceman
In another place and time
I guess I'm looking for a brand new place
I remember living in a different life
Is there a better life for me?
Old Mr Heffer
Stumbled my way on the darkest afternoon
I got a beer in my hand and I'm draggin' a stoagle too
the back of my brain is tickin' like a clock
I simmer down gently but boil on what the f
Get back 'cause I'm feelin' good tonight
get back 'cause I'm feelin' right
Trouble is a word that stars with a capital T
I refer myself to the word 'cause I'm so keen
little do they know that I'm struttin' such a style
it makes the trouble in me all worth the while
So get back 'cause I'm feelin' good tonight
get back 'cause I'm feelin' right
There goes Billy and Susie walkin' hand by hand
I quickly caught up slurring yo what's the plan
they had fear in their eyes and bellies that ran like dogs
I barrelled down laughing screaming Susie
you forgot your clogs
well, Old Mr. Heffer
I'm really pleased to meet you
I didn't mean to scare your blue-eyed child
but Billy wouldn't talk to me
and Susie wouldn't look at me
it made me so doggone crazy
I had to chase them for a mile
all wanted was change for a buck
Well I'm back and I'm feelin' good tonight
yea I'm back and I'm feelin' right
so get back 'cause I'm feelin' right
Jesus!Calling All The People
How can you tell
when your wellness is not well
make no mistakes now
please do excuse
my itchy attitude
I'm feelin' righteous
why, why are we always asking why
to lamely try to justify
for what it is a lack of drive
Calling all the people
have you nothin' brewin'
time to flap your big fat mouth
let's rap how we be doin'
say might what you say
that's really all it takes to break through
Where is it at
when your moral is a hat
full of money
can you explain
why the messy kitchen sink
is so confusing
why, why are we always asking why
to lamely try to justify
for what it is a lack of drive
Calling all the people
have you nothin' brewin'
time to flap your big fat mouth
let's rap how we be doin'
say might what you say
that's really all it takes
calling all the people
have you nothin' brewin'
time to flap your big fat mouth
let's rap how we be doin'
say might what you say
that's really all it takes to break through
calling all the people
Dear Mr President
I'm looking outside of my window
the view that I see
is a child and mama
and the child is begging for money
tell me why, tell me why
the woman is blind
is she so broke
the kid's dealing crime
it's such a beautiful city,
but the word is burning it down
I go to my room to turn on the TV
I sit myself down
and I start laughing hard
'cause this man he's asking for money
he say "if you send me lots of cash
I'll send you stuff to make you rich fast"
it's such a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
it's such a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
and it's burning down
and it's called the US of A
One day I'm going to have lots of money
but I'll have to give it up for this rich society
oh please Mr. President will you lend me a future
'cause you'll just get it back
from the little blind woman
with the kid on the corner
and the people full over, doin' crack
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
it's such a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
and it's burning down
and it's called the US of A
I'm walking outside on a sunny day
with no one around
and I wonder what's wrong
then I hear this loud piercing siren
oh my God the bomb has just dropped
and everybody climbed right on top screaming
what a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
it's such a wonderful country
but the man he's burning it down
yea yea yea yea yea yea
yea yea yea yea yea
and it's burning down
and it's called the US of A
Drifting
What a wonderful hesitation
who would bear to feel sorry for me
dropped another pill just to calm me
collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep
there I was drifting
way out into the sunshine
expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string
look at me I'm a tangled puppet
I might be a mess but I'm sure can survive
find myself awake counting sad days
1-2-3 that's too many for me
dropped another pill just to find me
reached for my hand but it was already there
then I started believin'
that I fell out of a tiny raindrop
that lost its way when I decided to roam
chasing me was a hungry dweller
but I had escaped it by pretending to die
come follow me you won't expect the illusion
you'll see it's my imagination
hand me your eyes
I will put them in front of mine
you'll see a little better
you'll see a little better
what a wonderful destination
where I am now
I can no longer see
dropped another pill just to kill me
collapsed to my knees and fell fast into sleep
there I was drifting
way out into the sunshine
expecting to crash but I'm tied to a string
look at me I'm a tangled puppet
I might be a mess but I'm sure can survive
but I had escaped it by pretending to dieNo Place Like Home
When I wake up in my house
I get dressed when I get lost
I don't know which way to go
I guess I'll have a cup of Joe
where the hell was I anyways
so I end up on the street
walkin' talkin' to my own beat
in a fog, in a haze
I've been trippin' out for days
can you help me find my way home
1-2-3
don't rock the boat now, just let it slide
groovy people walking back and forth, that's right
so I hop onto this bus
destination reads please save us
not a soul that know
to be found in this dark hole
can you help me find my way home
can you help me find my way home
I'm so tired of looking for the door
please help me find my way
please help me find my way
I can't find the door
where I am now, where I am now
I find myself just out there floating
