Calling to The Wild
04:45

Are we all living in fantasies?
Is the world we live in the one we perceived to be?
And if it is, should we feel so proud?
I pray the dreamers can dream a way out,
We got to find more reasons to have our heads in the clouds.
Find more reasons to have your head in the clouds.
Before the darkness blinds the savage beast
Freed from the cage and the rage is released
The moon will let out a deep evil howl and
I'll find a reason to have my head in the clouds
I'm calling to the wild
We've been caged up like beasts in a zoo
In this made up paradise built for the few
I'm calling to the wild.
I'm calling to the wild to take me in,
Let my inner child bear an honest grin
Take me to a land as old as time,
Before the world was planned out in lines
I'm calling to the Wild!
I dream of a fire burning all night,
Where we take refuge in the flames
Before cell phones, bank loans & satellites
When there was no such word as ''tame''
I’m calling, calling to the wild

Magic Potion

Hey baby, give me one shot
Hey baby, to show you what I got
Hey baby, give me one chance
Hey baby, to be your lovin' man
Get myself a little place by the ocean
Gona get myself a young blushing bride
May have to find myself a bit of magic potion
To get a keeper here by my side
The one I'm looking for
Will never ever want more
Then What I got to give
And that’s my whole heart
All she's gotta be
Is a real kind of sweet
And to be right for me
She’s gotta be smart
Sweet lover gonna be like no other
She’ll bring out my inner child
Hopefully she'll stay kind and she won’t really mind
If I stay just a little bit wild
I'm gona stay here babe, until my feet hit the ground
I'll haunt the moon and bars, until my love is found
And when I get to you, I'm gonna lay you down

Aphrodite
04:39

Well I was caught in the web of Aphrodite
by dumb luck much to my surprise
I was taken here by my own will
And now she’s moving slowly and closing in
Don’t know where it ends by now it begins
She slowly moves in
For the kill
She’s not coming home tonight
She’s not coming home tonight
She’s not coming home tonight
My dear sweet Aphrodite
Where’s she gone I don’t know
Is she coming back I’m not sure,
Will she take my soul,
Along for the ride?
I would beg and I would plead for her to stay
But I don’t want to come across that way
I would bail my eyes out and begin to cry
But not for you, sweet Aphrodite
From now on when I see the old moon
And I’m out on the prowl
I pray someday you’ll be coming home soon
And to that moon I’ll howl

Jelly Roll
03:25

I believe somebody's trying to steal my jellyroll
Yes I believe somebody's trying steal my jellyroll.
You can bet your bottom dollar I’m keeping a, watchful eye.
Because I believe somebody's trying to steal my way of life.
You better not sit a single foot in this door,
Because if you do you won’t have it no more, no
Well I'm not trying to steal anyone bodies way of life
It’s the only way I know, the only way I know to survive
I've travelled far beyond the borders of my home
Worked real hard and It made it all alone
And every bit I make is not for me to take
I have to send it all to my family back home
I thought that I knew, but I guess that I just don’t know
That nobody wants to deal with those jellyrolls.
One day I hope that all the blinded will see
That we're all trying to survive for our families.
It takes two sides of the same coin to know
That everyone deserves their own jellyroll

Take Away My Blues
04:04

You know I've been searching
For someone just like you
You got a certain something
You make me do things I don’t want to do
I hope to seek & I'll find a woman as kind as you
So won’t you come along and take away my blues
My hearts been burning
And you lit the flames
What I am to you?
Is this just a game?
Because then I'll play each & every day
Won’t you come along & take away my blues
Babe won’t you save me from this lonesome life
I need someone to show me that I'm still alive
I'll stand there for you in everything you do
So you won’t you come along and take away my blues
Save me

Valley Below
04:49
|

|
I've been told there's a land of designer fire
That's been designed to keep you in line
You'll end up there if you live by desire and choose not to expand your mind
Welcome to the land planned before time
The souls they just keep pouring in
Looks like you may have to stand in line
We rate your worth here by the weight your sins
In the valley below
There's only one way to save
Only you could have if you tried
If you repent before your life is through
Or else enjoy the ride to the valley below
You were living by desire
Just pleasing yourself
Now you’re bathing in the fire
The heats treating you well
In the valley below
My mind became twisted when the preacher insisted
That we all get a second try, we can be forgiven
For the way we've been living we can be save ourselves before we die
Now I’m not kidding, it’s written in the book, many a sinner has taken a look; at the verse that’s listed your curse can be lifted
By watching a Sunday show then you won’t have to go,
To the valley below

Pindrop Circle
04:19
|
|||
|
Come with me on a journey through time
We’ll seek the stones that weigh on your mind
We’ll take a walk through the darkest of night
And see what goes on down there
There’s a pin drop circle and a didgeridoo
A small scented candle and a missing shoe
A kaleidoscope vision and a worn out jaw
And a strange old man who keeps asking for more
So I pick up the pin ad I lay it in my hand
And I smell the candle as it dies in the sand
I’ll take my time to appreciate the view
And now seeing the light for the very first time
I’ll throw those stones weighing on my mind
And I realised it was my missing shoe
We commenced in the manners of the noblest of blood
As we engaged into the wine
As engaged in light hearted conversations
It so happened they’d poisoned mine

Every day I commit a crime
When take the time to speak my mind
I had a revelation today but I’ve forgotten what it was
All I see is problems and a need to reveal the cause
I say it’s about time, for the alternative state of mind
Don’t live single day without ringing ears
Takes a little bit of groove just to kill my fears
If there's a revolution to break the institutions of their evil binds
It’s the evolution of the alternative state of mind
I say it’s about time, for the alternative state of mind
Step over the line, have an alternative state of mind
Cross over the lines, have an alternative state of mind
You could be ditch digger,
A blues singer,
A waiter or a nun
A doctor, nurse,
A father or a son.
A profit, a priest
A teacher or a preacher,
A politician in a position to cross over the lines
Open your eyes and you might just find
An alternative state of mind

Don't Ask Why
03:23
|

|
The corridors are blocked up by bureaucratic suits
Put in their place by the pyramid’s highest schemers
The old captains are calling out for their lost crew
They all got caught up with the dreamers
Tied up by the means of today’s gross insanity
The dreamers thought they could dream their way free
They ended up being caged in along with the suits
Now we're laughing because there's nothing we can do
Every simple hand who tried to take command
Couldn’t get word in if they tried
The middle class man also fell for the scam
When He asked they replied- don’t ask why
They all got thrown into the same cage
Told to back down, told to behave
They borrowed against the heated stone
Now they're been treated like slaves
Everyman asked ''What could we do''
One dreamer said:
It all starts with you

Ashes on The Highway
05:08

It seems so long ago
I can still remember her touch
It seems lo long ago
Lord I still miss her so much
I never knew, never know so much pain
As the day you became
Ashes on the highway
It must have killed you
To watch, to watch your baby die
Lord, what kind of a man lays his hand on a child so young,
I can't understand
She was to young to die.
I never knew, never knew, never knew so much pain
As the day you became
Ashes on the highway
I can never bring her back
I much as I tried
Lord, she was to young to die
I never knew, never knew, never knew so much pain
As the day you became
Ashes on the highway
