Electric Blue 02:54
lyrics
buy track
Dinosaurs dance in the sunshine air Earthquakes shake like they just don’t care The sun will rise inside your heart And everything gets blown apart It’s all electric blue It’s all a part of you Sparkle pants dance in the disco hall Get down boogie wherever you are That purple haze blaze got me amazed Last girl I met was from outer space California love in the sky above Got lost in the clouds and the setting sun Got turned about I began to shout I finally figured out what it’s all about Take me to the other side We gonna go for a swim Electric blue and cherry too I’ll be there with you Take me to the other side We gonna go for a trip Cruising down the avenue Checking out the view I’ll be there with you

Rain or Shine 04:01
lyrics

Rain or shine, feelin’ fine Swimmin’ in a tub that’s full of love Many ways, many paths Follow the one from where you’re at She knows it won’t always be easy I know Jah love will guide us all the way through Let’s go out to the faraway hills Out beyond civilization We’re gonna climb to the top of the world And dance with all creation That’s right she got moves like the Sunlight shine so bright Rain might start to fall but that’s All Right anyhow Let’s swing high and touch the sky Leave this planet for awhile Hang out till the end of time Never saw my baby looking so fine That’s right she got moves like the Sunlight shine so bright Rain might start to fall but that’s All Right anyhow Lovin in the morning, lovin in the evening I be always looking for that lovin lovin feeling Nothing to believe in, nothing to deceivin' Just keep on giving it and you will always be receiving Right here right now no matter what the weather Everything is always gonna be together better Raining and the shining and we always feeling fine And in the morning we arise and give our thanks to be alive

Skyscraper Spectacle 04:12
lyrics
buy track
The world is your canvas, paint with joy Maybe paint a rainbow or a wild rose For these are dark times the world’s problems grow so high We’re building buildings that cover up the sky It’s a skyscraper spectacle No one knows what the future holds Though it often looks so bleak Say it with me now, say it let me repeat No one knows, no one knows No one knows, no one knows So put a smile on your face, get out there try to help the human race The world is your canvas, paint with love Give of yourself freely like the sun above For these are dark times the world’s problems grow so high We’re melting icebergs, temperature’s on the rise When you’re not feeling well I’ll pick you up and hold you close We all sometimes feel alone I’ll sing you a melody Write you this song A bird on the wing to carry you home Yeah the world keeps spinning Like it did in the beginning Who knows what the next turn around will bring

Rebellion (Mama Mama) 02:22
lyrics
buy track
Rebellion mama mama That’s all she knows Pure and white as the driven snow Rebellion mama mama Can’t you see Can’t be held down, gotta be free Born on the bad side with a curious mind Looking for trouble, it wasn’t hard to find Got down too early, got down too late Got down to get down and the getting doesn’t wait Rebellion mama mama Don’t you know Don’t give her no scissors don’t give her no bows Rebellion mama mama She got her own way Out of the driveway, down the highway Don’t be sad sad sad and so so so blue Mama you were there one time too Karma is coming and it’s coming for you Mama you got your work cut out for you Rebellion mama mama She’s so cool Got that knowledge you can’t learn in school Rebellion mama mama Can’t you see Can’t be held down, gotta be free Most people they try to be like the rest Got all them things but she ain’t impressed Diamonds and princesses, princes and pearls If she had it all she’d still want the world Rebellion mama mama Wherever she goes Don’t point no fingers don’t point no toes Rebellion mama mama Such a wonderful child A little bit sweet a lotta bit wild She wears a beaded necklace a flower in her hair A sparkle in her eye you know she don’t care Gonna run down that dream gonna climb that hill Gonna run up the tab ain’t gonna pay the bill

Straight From The Heart Of The Center Of The Universe 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Straight from the heart of the center of the universe I was floating on through when the earth eclipsed my view And the petals of the flowers of my mind opened wide inside And I understood that we're all expressions of the one truth Nothing left to say so I might as well say it We're here for the game so we might as well play it Play on playa so you think it but that nobody knows We're infinitely interconnected yo that's just how it goes And the times I got high was just looking for somewhere to fly A way to connect to the stillness I felt in my mind So we go on and so on and so forth wherever we go We hustle and bustle for something we don't even know Been through this show so many times before Swirling colours kaleidoscope I am you, you are me and what's between A is B, B is C and we're all free I crossed the bridge went up the mountain Above the clouds so cosmopolitan Burned into rust by the blazing sun When nothing's left all that's left is love

Camping Song (Dirty Hippies) 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Bees buzz trees brush by Kickin up dust in late July Lakes of grandeur, skies of blue You abide in nature, nature abides in you Dirty hippies in the woods, living out the dream Peace and love and harmony Singing blue jay meadows sway Blooming blossoms guide the way Twisting trails, a cresting moon Everything is with us, everything is new Out here there isn’t much to say A new day is born then it fades away The cycles of nature, your state of mind Mother Nature’s children in the warm sunshine A sunset pink a painted sky A web of jewels fills the night Every place in space is filled with grace Guitar strums echo in your beautiful face

Autumn Memories 02:54
lyrics

Autumn memories floating down like falling leaves Winding leafy streets where we grew up and used to dream Girlfriend’s wispy hair holding hands chill in the air Football under the lights, the bar lets out into the night And we go on our way back home And we go on our way back home And we go on our way Bike ride to the park sat up talking after dark Starlight cold and clear feels so good to hold you near Autumn memories floating down like falling leaves Lifetimes come and go, we don’t know what we don’t know Till we go on our way back home Till we go on our way back home Till we go on our way Harvest time is here comes around this time of year Earth turns a golden hue reflecting on the past we knew Autumn memories floating down like falling leaves Back when you were my friend, will we know love like that again When we go on our way back home When we go on our way back home When we go on our way

The Source (Monterey Stylee) 03:23
lyrics
buy track
Takin’ it easy, Monterey stylee Put away your troubles, put away your fears Takin’ it easy, Monterey stylee Let go of your worries, leave your cares behind Are you down with the Source, do you know how to live Yeah we be down with the Source, yeah we know how to give Are you down with the Source, do you know how to live Yeah we be down with the Source, yeah we know how to give Pure untainted action emanating Every morning we be meditating Forget this moment and move into the next Be yourself it’s simple not complex The Source is something wonderful Beyond words, beyond description The Source is something wonderful Beyond colour, beyond sound Everything is changing rearranging Go with the flow it’s always amazing Take a look around and be where you are There’s no place better near or far

Outlaw Blues #3 03:06
lyrics
buy track
Coffee running through my veins Open road open plains Press the pedal on down past the next town Be there for the sun goes down I’m an outlaw who never broke the law I’m a southpaw from Wichita Heading down the road to god knows where And I don’t care when I get there The water’s all running dry Soon this land is gonna die Humanity’s just a cesspool Winning’s all about looking cool There’s a green light shining across the water But the longer I reach for it it gets farther Life is complicated totally strange What we think is new is just the same Union Pacific rolling down the track One way ticket never looking back Got a fistful of dollars that I already spent Trying to figure out what that last sign meant Coffee grounds and campground sounds Lost forever never found Fireside moon is rising high Glowing embers in the night

Desire Mind 04:25
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes we strive so hard to get somewhere besides where we are We forget to take part in what’s around Sometimes we think we can possess the things we think we have We forget our life is just a passing phase Desire Mind Mine mine mine, Mine mine mine Desire Mind Mine mine mine, Mine mine mine People they reach and grasp to hold on fast but nothing lasts Ephemeral flashings in the void People building monuments and bank accounts and big success But the journey is greater than the goal And it’s because we own the sky, we own the stars There’s nothing to desire Everything we need is where we are
