Casual Adventures 03:03
lyrics
buy track
We set off in the world As one does in our time We found the Great Spirit Touched the core of our mind We're always alone But never apart We find our way By serendipity It goes how it goes We'll make it or we'll break it Casual adventures on the edge of the wild Ain't got no need For superficiality No need for attention Or notoriety We chart our course By the winds of course Our heart is our compass Our home is the sky It goes how it goes We'll make it or we'll break it Casual adventures on the edge of the wild We set off in the world As one does in our time We found the Great Spirit Touched the core of our mind We let it go In the mountains you know Come back to our senses Feeling the flow It goes how it goes We'll make it or we'll break it Casual adventures on the edge of the wild

Leave You Guessing 03:12
lyrics

Last time we spoke was long ago I was on the road on a getaway You were all hitched up with someone else It was awkward made me want to getaway But before that back when we had some space We were cruising at a phenomenal pace And we shared some music, dug the vibes Took a trip together across space and time I don't want to leave you guessing with that beautiful face I don't even understand how you were falling away Looking in the rearview mirror Don't think I'll ever see clearer I don't want to leave you guessing runaway Back in the day like renegades Full of fire and joy and curiosity We drove your car down country roads In search of tangible experience Fed up with phony mundane crap We'd been through it and we were done with that In the springtime felt the waking world Felt the sorrow in the sunset blur I don't want to leave you guessing with that beautiful face I don't even understand how you were falling away Drift away on a sour note That teardrop song is all she wrote I don't want to leave you guessing runaway Everything is finite, drift into the past If it happened once the memory will last Could it ever linger, perfect as it was I don't know the reasons why I don't ask because I don't want to leave you guessing with that beautiful face I don't even understand how you were falling away Drift away on a sour note That teardrop song is all she wrote I don't want to leave you guessing runaway

If We Love Each Other Now 02:42
lyrics

If we got old, lost our shoes Forgot our pants, didn't know what to do Stepped in puddles in the pouring rain Watched the news and it was still the same Found the answer to all of our prayers Threw it away cause anyway who cares Went down swinging, lost the fight At least we had one hell of a night And it was always One way or another Gonna be all right If we love each other now If we stumble along the way Lost the lottery, got a bad grade Went astray, got into some shit Fell off a cliff that was the end of it Until we woke up was it all a bad dream Waking or sleeping, hard to tell between So we keep moving, grooving along It doesn't always make a perfect song But it was always One way or another Gonna be all right If we love each other now If we folded up our tent Packed it in it wasn't happening Quit the rat race, stepped aside We didn't hustle, didn't even try Made our way down the winding road Nobody knows what the future holds Maybe it's bleak and the planet's fucked Maybe it's hopeless and we're out of luck But it was always One way or another Gonna be all right If we love each other now

Margo 03:35
lyrics

Girl from the Middle West I remember well Spark of the cosmic light Entangled in her hair Margo Never underestimate you Sing a lovely song so blue Margo Lavender the smell of springtime Follow you the way back home Always a mystery Carelessly so free Words like poetry Laced with poison hearts Margo Flowing into the morning Fading out like the dusk Margo Everyone wants to know you But you could never know yourself Gone from this realm of sorrow Never to return Far beneath the stars Of eternity Margo Visions of hallelujah Still got those highway blues Margo Childlike in your wonder Heartbreak in your smile

Let's get it bouncing up in here like a bouncy house It's your birthday yeah we're feeling ok my friend Tequila sunrise ain't no surprise I'll see you again That's just how it goes Working too goddamn hard for the man Just to earn that money it ain't who I am You think you're gonna be a star Well you already are Filling out paperwork, paying bills Run around town all day seeking thrills Nobody can free your mind You gotta let it go So let's get it bouncing up in here like a bouncy house It's your birthday yeah we're feeling ok my friend Tequila sunrise ain't no surprise I'll see you again That's just how it goes That's just the way it goes now Nobody ever knows We're floating out in space now Let's enjoy this place Some people say it's all a simulation Maybe it's karma or just the situation We bounce along to our next destination That's just how it goes So let's get it bouncing up in here like a bouncy house It's your birthday yeah we're feeling ok my friend Tequila sunrise ain't no surprise I'll see you again That's just how it goes

Cosmic Voyager 03:03
lyrics

Shoot me into outer space Really far out there I wanna see the stars being born Galaxies slipping into blackholes Nothing left for you and me here On this dying planet All we have is suffering And desire I see us in a symphony Of sound and color Light burning for a billion years When we close our eyes Nothing left for you and me here On this dying planet All we have is suffering And desire Cosmic voyager Are we more than we dreamed of Cosmic voyager Bridge the spaces between us And we're traveling far Look at the Northern Lights See them twinkling there In your eyes And we'll never get home How ever far we go It's so desolate here Separated Cosmic voyager Are we more than we dreamed of Cosmic voyager Bridge the spaces between us

Just Humans 02:52
lyrics

Keep on writing Keep on dreaming Staring at the ceiling Everybody is somebody We are all just humans It's a long drive, it's a long ride If you blink once you could miss it all It's a long drive, it's a long ride But I always make it back to you So kick off your shoes, it's time to get loose I'm feeling obtuse and jaded But never mind that, it's all in the past Nothing could hold us back now Keep on writing Keep on dreaming Staring at the ceiling Everybody is somebody We are all just humans now It's a cool night in the starlight Wondering at the periphery It's a cool life, it's out of sight I could never express it succinctly So let down your hair and put down your cares There ain't no worries to faze us And follow your dreams beyond the tall trees Out into the world at large Keep on writing Keep on dreaming Staring at the ceiling Everybody is somebody We are all just humans now

Ready Or Not 02:59

Blew into the valley coming right from the coast Going full speed always taking the most Can't stop faking it, can't stop messing around Who were you the moment when you stepped on the scene Wanted so badly just to live out the dream Call me up again, I'll be ready to go And if you need me holler back I've always got your back now And if it's getting heavy there Come on back over here now Ready or not, it's coming at you faster Ready or not, it's right on time Ready or not, it's always calling Ready or not, it's a state of mind Pouring out the sugar blasting into the sky Staying up all night, feeling ready to die Can't stop breaking down, can't stop making the rounds Who were you my friend when you're hiding that pain Wanted to help you but I couldn't contain All those crazy nights start to blur in my mind Ready or not, it's coming at you faster Ready or not, it's right on time Ready or not, it's always calling Ready or not, it's a state of mind And if you need me holler back I've always got your back now And if it's getting heavy there Come on back over here now Ready or not, it's coming at you faster Ready or not, it's right on time Ready or not, it's always calling Ready or not, it's a state of mind

1966 (Far Out Boys) 02:19
lyrics

Flew on down to Mexico, 1966 The energy was rising up, it was electric And I felt some kind of message In the tides and in the stars And for one brief second I saw the swirl Of the galaxy unfurl In the sky make me cry Make me feel make me real Fourth of July getting high Far out boys make some noise John and Ringo, Paul and George, 1966 Floating downstream on a trip into consciousness And we came of age in a vast parade Of exploding fractal rays And we felt the love that was coming from Every photon in the sun In the sky make me cry Make me feel make me real Fourth of July getting high Far out boys make some noise One chord as it changes reinventing everything One life as it raises is the whole infinity If you bring the energy I'll bring the love If you bring the energy I'll bring the love If you bring the energy I'll bring the love If you bring the energy I'll bring the love In the sky make me cry Make me feel make me real Fourth of July getting high Far out boys make some noise

Thanks To You 03:05
lyrics

Hold me sometimes till the morning light Don't know what's on the way Miss you sometimes like you're already gone Wish that you could always stay Cast your light to the bitter winds To the cold and brewing storm Fly me homeward on your wing Lift your voice and sing What is this life Nobody has any clue I'm just happy Thanks to you Fireside dreaming all the nights are gone All the days and all the time All the friends we used to know All turned out all right Everyone's a poet and a prophet and a fool But nobody is quite like you They just ain't as cool What is this life Nobody has any clue I'm just happy Thanks to you And I feel it coming down The leaves are falling down, down I'm so grateful I knew you This time around What is this life Nobody has any clue I'm just happy Thanks to you

Space Unicorn 03:10
lyrics

If the things in your head could start a revolution If the things we said were not just a delusion Could we try again to get into a groove And we could just be free to be whatever we might feel If the forms in our brain could fuck with evolution And we underwent a peaceful revolution Could we fly again beyond the walls that hold us We could just be free to be whatever we might feel Space unicorn in the sky Space dust all in your eyes Earth light we bring to you Earth wind and rainbows too When the sum of our love is equal to infinity And the force of our dream will rewrite our destiny And the light of the world will shine into the heavens And we will be free to be whatever we might feel Space unicorn in the sky Space dust all in your eyes Earth light we bring to you Earth wind and rainbows too Sending out a ray of hope to you A little bit of angel dust We can make it through Find you in the clouds above Humming that song of love Know whatever time it is It's time for us to rise Space unicorn in the sky Space dust all in your eyes Earth light we bring to you Earth wind and rainbows too

At One Time 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Seasons change Nothing stays But stay with me For awhile We go on Nothing's wrong It's all right It's just life At one time I waded through the river At one time I crossed the mountain At one time I left the valley At one time I sat in silence All the subtle notes I heard Echoed through the canyon All the subtle notes I heard Opened up my mind's eye Nothing ever lasts yo But nothing is lost so We dance along softly Fade into infinity Seasons change Nothing stays But stay with me For awhile We go on Nothing's wrong It's all right It's just life At one time I walked into the forest At one time I felt the raindrops At one time I touched the ocean At one time I sat in silence All the mental games we play Dropped away completely All the mental games we play Couldn't even reach me Sometimes it's enough to Enjoy the world around you Be happy in this moment But ready to move past it Seasons change Nothing stays But stay with me For awhile We go on Nothing's wrong It's all right It's just life
