Don’t watch the weather
Don’t watch the news
I tell you
I got news for you
Hey, you better not leave your house today
Hey, you better not leave your house today
If you were smart, you would not run away
Not a desert storm
Not a cold winter’s night
It’s not dark
And it’s not light
It’s not rain
And it’s not shine, oh
No one’s here
No one’s in site
Hey, you better not leave your house today
Hey, you better not leave your house today
If you were smart, you would not run away
Hey, you better not leave your house today
Hey, you better not leave your house today
If you were smart, you would not run away

World War III

Are we ready to fight
or are we ready to pay
have the ideals of this world
have they gone astray
We’ve got to make it stop
for this we’ve got to act
Fascism’s peeking its head
That is almost a fact
So why don’t you even know why we’re fighting
Get ready for the third world war
Had 8 years to prepare
and now they’re ready to go
they’re not looking for peace
they look for total control
So why must we ignore
we can’t let this go on
a struggle to survive
well this is no Vietnam
So why don’t you even know why we’re fighting
We want the world to progress more
We need to save this beautiful planet
Get ready for the third world war
So why don’t you even know why we’re fighting
we want the world to progress more
so pack up your bags and gather belongings
Get ready for the third world war
Get ready for the third world war

Serpent
04:05

Cold, Cold Air Seeps through the cracks in the wall
such a great dynasty that now might fall
why when you came did you do all of this
one opportunity you just couldn’t miss
I thought I told you, you should go away
you don’t play the games that I wanted to play
you come when you please and you go when you may
Languish in fear that they do when you’re here
a serpent of such large proportion is near
everyone shudders and everyone shouts
they don’t know what all this confusion’s about
I thought I told you, you should go away
you don’t play the games that I wanted to play
you come when you please and you go when you may
Wonder and ponder that’s just what I’ll do
got to think of how to get rid of you
lock you a way in a box by the door
we won’t see you around here anymore
I thought I told you, you should go away
you don’t play the games that I wanted to play
you come when you please and you go when you may

Deceitful Eyes
06:02

Well it’s time to start my little speech about emotion
I’d say I’d be a fool to fall for the newest trend
I’m going to stick to my ways no matter what they are
It’s such a shame these people have to whatever to be cool
Hey, Watching your eyes
They dart from side to side
Why do you have to be this way
You’re not unique today
I didn’t know what to make of you before I found out
That look you’ve got is so hard for me to understand
I don’t care if it makes you more attractive
If nothing’s real then what exactly are they attracted to
Hey, Watching your eyes
They dart from side to side
Why do you have to be this way
You’re not unique today
I know that’s not really who you are
You fool everyone else but you fool yourself as well
Hey, Watching your eyes
They dart from side to side
Why do you have to be this way
You’re not unique today
Hey, Watching your eyes
They dart from side to side
Why do you have to be this way
You’re not unique today

Well I've known you for quite some time
tried for hours to make you mine
I don't like when you're hard to get
But I know you're the hardest one yet
Well it it takes some time for you to understand
try to help you love, the best I can
well you mean so much to me, I try so hard
but it takes some time
The way you say things, so strange to me
all these beliefs you try to make me see
you make me think so hard I'm confused
I still feel the same way about you
Well it it takes some time for you to understand
try to help you love, the best I can
well you mean so much to me, I try so hard
but it takes some time, yeah
Spotlight shining down on you
you humble yourself but you can't help it
I try so hard to make you understand

January's Girl

Well I’d just got back from wherever I was
I get over things too fast you see
Well I took a walk downtown to meet my friend
We went into a bar and drank some tea
He says you see that girl right over there?
I say what about her? And he makes it clear
He says that “Don’t you know that this is”…
January’s Girl
Well she was tall and thin with long blonde hair
She had a German look as her face was fair
With a playful grin and big blue eyes
I’d been waiting for this nice surprise
Well my friend says “What do you think about her?”
I say it depends on what events occur
What if she thinks that I’m a dope?
Because after all, this is January’s Girl
So she walked over to our party of tea
She said “I hope you like to have as much fun as me.”
I said well it depends on what you mean by that
If you like to dance that’s where it’s at
She says if there’s one thing that makes you cool
It’s if you dance around like a fool
I said that’s no problem with me
January’s Girl

It's getting warm outside
and all my troubles seem to slip away
as we sit here on the deck, yeah
I want you by my side
Well the waves crash in
and the moon's in the sky
and I sit here wondering
how it came to be
Say it is more than I can think of
if this could happen, a thousand times
How grateful I would feel, yeah
for the gifts that are given by life, so
So why should I cross the line
cause it's just something that I don't wanna do
so I wonder why
things can change but I wanna leave them the same
We gotta go back to our lives
well our lives don't have to be the way we don't want them to be
we could say why not
cause we could change the world
We can change the world
Say it is more than I can think of
if this could happen a thousand times
How grateful I would feel, yeah
for the gifts that are given by life, so
So why should I cross the line
cause it's just something that I don't wanna do
so I wonder why
things can change but I wanna leave them the same

A Simple Musing
04:38
|

|
Today I came to a conclusion
Without anymore confusion
I’d say I’ve found a good person
Some way in a sea where I’m not sure if there’s more
Oh as I try
To touch the sky
I see many more faces
I go to more places
If there’s darkness coming
You let it give way right to the moon and the stars
As it’s been seen millions of times around the world
I know that when we are together
We think to figure out whether
we find that the world is doing well
just maybe we’ve got some ways to go
we dream of flowers blooming
fields and forests filled with green
as a splash of the sunlight will shine from above
oh give me peace
it may take long but it’s worth the wait
without haste
we find that this place becomes wonderful
we get the truth out
we found ourselves glad that everything is in reach
and we’ve got everything we’ll ever need
I know that when we are together
We think to figure out whether
we find that the world is doing well
just maybe we’ve got some ways to go

Choices
04:43
|

|
Well I’m thinking but I might already know
Gonna hit the road but I don’t know where to go
So many places to see all around the world
So I’m looking everywhere that I can look
a television, a computer, or a book
I’ve got to find my next destination
Yeah I’m feeling this way
Wonder who’s going to welcome me
I’d say that I can’t be quite sure
All these choices that I’m glad that I’ve got
Do I climb a mountain or sail the seven seas
Hike in a desert or walk right through some trees
Would I go to a city get my taste of civilization
It doesn’t matter as long as I get to go
I get my maps out and I get ready for the show
The world’s so interesting and it hasn’t gotten old
Yeah I’m feeling this way
Wonder who’s going to welcome me
I’d say that I can’t be quite sure
All these choices that I’m glad that I’ve got

Gonna Get Me A Girl
03:12

I’m gonna get me a girl
She gonna be good to me
I’m gonna get me a girl
She gonna be good to me
And she’s the best looking thing
That my eyes did ever see
I gonna find me a woman
Got a soul that’s as sweet as a rose
I gonna find me a woman
Got a soul that’s as sweet as a rose
Well she’s the nicest little gal
That anybody round here knows
Well when I meet this new lady
We gonna drink good wine
Talk about our lifestyles
Have we ever gone out of line
Gonna kiss her on the cheek
Cause she’s so nice and so fine
Me and my new woman
Gonna be loving all day long
Me and my new woman
Gonna be loving all day long
With this combination
There’s nothing that can go wrong
I’m gonna get me a real good girl
She gonna be good to me
I’m gonna get me a real nice girl
She gonna be good to me
And she’s the best looking thing
That my eyes did ever see

The Hopeful Way
05:27
|
|||
|
I wanna say that I want to have my imagination
as time has so quickly gone its pace
and I’d say that I’m feeling quite alright today
Won’t you please join me, with a smile on your face
I said I got my spirits high
So high that I could fly
I want everyone else
To feel the same way I do today
I don’t care about many things that could fog my mind
I spend my time, trying the best I can to do the good things
I’ve got to try to take the correct path
Well it’s the only way to succeed in what I do
So we want to have such a good time
We want to reach the sky
I want everyone else
To feel the same way I do today
