Breath, it’s alright. We gon’ make it to the morning through the night, yea. But ya better watch out… Because these jack jive turkeys do be lurking. They might be singin’ do-bee-doo but don’t be stupid, man. Because you got so much magic and there’s a lot that they could use you for. They just wanna scare you and abuse you more. But you know there’s real ones too, yea, you can feel it. You just have to see past pain and fear, yea, you can heal it. Just go inside and give your self some love and letting go, and now you feel brand new. Shit gets heavy. Keep it lightweight. Don’t lose sight of your own compass, you know what’s right for you, yea. Listen to that... I ask myself, “Is this really happening?” As ego-drunk victims of fear resort to hate over and over. If you’re moving to the future you might need a four leaf clover. Or at least a leprechaun with these vibes we’re getting on. So let’s turn it around, flip a bitch. It’s time to make solutions wholly enriched. The old dream is dead, get the lead out and turn to gold. When the smoke clears maybe we can live like some hobbits do. Maybe with some robots too. Across the multiverse, far and wide. You won’t make it if you force it, I’ve tried. I just died and realized all the lies I never needed and shot up high. But I stay down too. Altogether.

Freez Out 03:20
Laid back like Corby Cimino. In the cut cuz i'm Gustavino. And there's some dirty man who's acting stiff. Don't get too wordy man, give 'em the biff. And keep it rollin' Take it easy When the goin' ain't so breezy. Cuz it's a freeze out from old cold shoulders. So leave the steeze out, the bold will smolder. Cuz it's a freeze out from old cold shoulders. So leave the steeze out, the bold will smolder. Excited, keeps you up at night. Cuz there's a fire starting, who's got the light. And it's a red sky, sailor's delight. So take it easy, we can row all night. Keep it rollin' Take it easy When the goin' ain't so breezy. Cuz it's a freeze out from old cold shoulders. So leave the steeze out, the bold will smolder. Cuz it's a freeze out from old cold shoulders. So leave the steeze out, the bold will smolder.

Where Ya Are 03:45
Better run, run, right back where ya are. Better run, run, right back where ya are. It’s a roll of the dice and you haven’t thought twice. Is it the life that you wanted? Are you making a connection? You should get some sleep, we’re really not in a rush, baby. Maybe just listen, let the rhythm talk it out. I was hitting my head against the wall. Making quick decisions all out in a haze. But if I learned something from it all, it’s how to see with Humble eyes and a cosmic heart How all the fights in the world could start with a pattern. Oh, wontcha give Saturn a kiss for me? Better run, run, right back where ya are. Better run, run, right back where ya are. I see wild-eyed hair-do’s and brown paper slacks. Black and white rockstars in there rainbow blues bands playing to the rolodex of culture at the tip of your finger and you might get left behind if you try to hard to keep up. Didn’t need advice I knew it all. Seeing all the world through spinning eyes all ablaze. But if I learned something from it all, it’s how to see with Humble eyes and a cosmic heart How all the fights in the world could start with a pattern. Oh, wontcha give Saturn a kiss for me? Better run, run, right back where ya are. Better run, run, right back where ya are. I was hitting my head against the wall. Making quick decisions all out in a haze. But if I learned something from it all, it’s how to see with Humble eyes and a cosmic heart How all the fights in the world could start with a pattern. Oh, wontcha give Saturn a kiss for me? Better run, run, right back where ya are. Better run, run, right back where ya are.

Mystery 03:13
What we had was a good thing but it did not last long. It really was unfortunate cuz what we had was strong. It’s a mystery, aw yea, If anything could of changed How it all got turned around Like a mystery. I think of the best times and I wear them like a crown. Can’t forget the worst tears. Wish you were still hanging ‘round. It’s a mystery, aw yea, If anything could of changed How it all got turned around Like a mystery. It’s a mystery, aw yea, If anything could of changed How it all got turned around Like a mystery. Mystery, yea. Mystery, yea. Mystery, yea. Mystery, yea. I can still see our dinners, we were all sat at the table. We couldn’t keep it gold forever but for some time it really was magic. It’s a mystery, aw yea, If anything could of changed How it all got turned around Like a mystery. It’s a mystery, aw yea, If anything could of changed How it all got turned around Like a mystery. Mystery, yea. Mystery, yea. Mystery, yea. Mystery, yea.

Vision 03:19
The tricks come out in daylight Dressed in glamour cloaks They lick their lips that lie all night They should leave the kids alone They want your love and money No time, you’re workin more and more The monster in your mind looks just like the one we voted for But if you open up your eye You can see the source of your pain Their prizes turn to poison And their prisons injust the same So listen to your heart And close your ears to fear We are the planters of our garden Where do we grow from here? The treats might hide in dark spots They told us not to go The truth comes when we listen up Yea, the intuition knows The world’s all ouroboros The snake that bites it’s tail You can go so far to end back in the middle Samsara seldom fails So if you open up your eye You can see the source of your pain Their prizes turn to poison And their prisons injust the same So listen to your heart And close your ears to fear We are the planters of our garden Where do we grow from here? Long way to go... We can travel light speed

I’m looking down at the pyramids. I think I see it how it was. There were more of us in those days But I still can feel a buzz. Yea, I remember cousin Marty Who liked to eat the sour fruits. And of course Big Al on 9th St. Mama T. T. mighta sang the blues. Mama T. T. mighta sang the blues. If the only sound you ain’t missing Is the one coming out of your mouth You may be lonely, I know, but listen. Only way we can work this out. Pay attention to the whirled and embodied And your world and your body. And remember that there is nobody And remember what they said. I always knew it could be easy. They tried to keep you hid away. They didn’t want you to love your self. We used to get on in that way. I hear my home phone ringing. I think it’s you that’s on the line. We got to pick up like a truck now. I’ll love you through the end of time. I’ll love you through the end of time. If the only sound you ain’t missing Is the one coming out of your mouth You may be lonely, I know, but listen. Only way we can work this out. Pay attention to the whirled and embodied And your world and your body. And remember that there is nobody And remember what they said.

Cool Yer Jet 03:18
Say, I try to keep it warm. Killer bees are on the swarm. Ain’t talking bout Wu-Tang (wish I was). Talkin’ angry stinging drones. It’s like they’ve never been alone. Try to get me out my zone. You throw ‘em just one bone they might want your whole skeleton. Yea the world’s always prodding me, telling me that I should be upset. I won’t let them taint my vibration. I won’t ever forget. They’ll disturb my peace if I let ‘em. They want me to burn and spread fire. I look higher. Inspire a better world. Yea, you can fly more. You don’t have to buy more. Take the high road or the low, Depending where you wanna go. You can ask me why, Cuz you’re beautiful. I can tell you why, You can tell me why. Yea the world’s always prodding me, telling me that I should be upset. I won’t let them taint my vibration. I won’t ever forget. They’ll disturb my peace if I let ‘em. They want me to burn and spread fire. I look higher. Inspire a better world. Baby, that’s good. That’s nice. Good night.

Meow, meow, meow. Don’t ya mess around with Winny The Pooh. You don’t know what he will do. Don’t ya mess around with Winny The Pooh. You don’t know what he will do. Yea he walks around t midnight and he’ll sit right on your shoe. He look like Tigger, baby. But he act like Winnie The Pooh. Yea, he look like Tigger, baby. But he act like Winnie The Pooh. He’s the best cat I’ve ever had, and he’s the only one too. (Don’t forget Sadie) Meow, Meow. Yea this cat was really wild. He was comin’ thru all crazy. Havin’ a fit in the morning, and in the afternoon he was lazy. Came around about midnight and he was batshit crazy. Winny Tha Pooh, thank you.

Comin EZ 02:08
Yea, it’s comin’ easy. Yea, it’s comin’ easy now. Had to pull my finger off the trigger. Had to keep my head from getting any bigger. Had to figure where I’m sittin’ When I get bored how to keep from quitting out. Yea, it’s comin’ easy now. Yea, it’s comin’ easy. So I keep driving Through the rain and the night, I’ll be thriving. Got sicka just surviving. Climbed out of the rubble, yea. Yea, it’s comin’ easy now. Yea, it’s comin’ easy. Yea, it’s comin’ easy now. Yea, easy. Most of us just sarcastic. Givin’ all our energy to the plastic, spastic rhythm but most of the best vibes are slow and hidden. Get ‘em. Yea, it’s comin’ easy. Yea, it’s comin’ easy. I say.

Love 03:10
They might try to put us down. Cuz I talk too slow but they don’t want to grow. You ain’t wrong to get around. Cuz you can walk to know but they don’t want to sho ya but I show love. Yea that’s love. So below, as above, your the one I’m thinkin’ of. They put profits over privacy. But the truth is free from authority. So don’t let ‘em bring you down. Be what you want to be and we can look out for each other. Yea, that’s love. Yea, that’s love. So below, as above, you’re the one I’m thinkin’ of. Ooo, yea. Maybe hush, don’t make a sound. The answer in your heart is found. Coming up high from underground. Imagination going back down. Out of love. Yea, that’s love. So below, as above, you’re the one I’m thinkin’ of. Ahhhh yea!

Cool Story 00:34

The ground is always moving. The rivers always flow. Most ‘em like it fast but I’m glad you can dig it slow. We’re made of all the things we love and hate, oh, ain’t it so. So best to breath the love back in to everything we know. From rage I turn to gold. A love song to myself. My alchemical soul illuminated. The waves, they like to crash. Morning, time to go. The internet is breathing. I left my phone at home. You used me like a tissue you now wish you would’ve kept. I wouldn’t change a thing except the fire on which I slept. I used to hate you so. I didn’t even know. From pain I turn to all loving. The wait is almost over. The end is almost here. The weight is off our shoulders so send away our fear. The hour has come when we can all embrace and live as one. The tyrant’s face has changed, the battle has been forfeit. From rage I turn to gold. A love song to myself. My alchemical soul illuminated.

In My Blood 03:15
There’s a question on my mind And a lesson in my blood. So my heart can be my guide through the sky or through some mud. Would you do it all again? Well, it shouldn’t really matter Cuz we’re all just vibes and matter and all of the queens and kings and pawns die in the same dark hole. And it’s easy to forget where you come from. You should try not to forget where you come from But at least you should look where you’re going. Where you’re going. And we come out in the light When the feeling is alright. When the sun wakes up from night And the stars are shining bright. And the darkness is your friend. With all love you have no enemy. We could balance lady justice if we could just trust ourselves and give to each other good looking. And it’s easy to forget where you come from. You should try not to forget where you come from But at least you should look where you’re going. Where you’re going. And what’s coming from behind you.
