Zone Room 05:39
I knew the moment I walked through the door Traces of you lay all over the floor Up to my elbows in electric chills Sight of this sub-zero climate kills Guess my love will never pay the bills As the feeling from a heart to the paper spills I never knew that it could be this bad This foolish notion we might’ve had I said a word and it made you sad How soon that emotion returns to mad Never could I imitate you I’m Never gonna hesitate to I Never could intimidate you why? This room has you written all over it Well you came from out of nowhere How you got here I don’t even care I feel your crazed ever-present stare I smell the essence in the air Then came the noise from down the hall Like a blunt object hit the wall I’m feeling nervous all in all I turn to look and I trip and fall I never knew that it could be this good If I could match you, I truly would I hear the sounds riding in your car A purring engine and notes from a-far Notes from a-far-away zone

She was walking down town and she slipped on a Banana peel, She said, why does this always happen to me? This is not the place to be Noone helped her when she stood and she was so mad at the world that she flagged for a taxi but not one had ever come So she was late for work and she lost her job and she had no one to blame Well the kids at school they used to ask, why are you so down? When we see you walking to and from you always seem to wear that frown She said leave me alone if you don’t want to help and she crossed her arms and she walked away went right home and she locked the door and she thought to herself They were right, He had a dose of freedom and it changed his life forever And nothing in the world could stop him now no, not even you He worked real hard in the cold and he did it because it was right and bold, His friends and family helped him too always pushing for what they thought was true Come to the light, as it shines so bright and who is she? What's that girls name again? Well he always tried to get it right and to do a job well done But his dream had gotten in the way and he just wanted to have some fun But his mind is clearly opened and he can see the true colors And his path is right in front of him he’s a steam rolling train, His time is now And they were right, the kids at school were right

Hydroplane 07:19
Rainstorm down the freeway of water, Hydroplane When all of the work gets done Ready to have some fun Smoking like a gun barrel in the moonlight shadows On the ground Watching the kids at play Living to learn each day Learning to fall my way And every word you said was right on, Ride on Given a bad name Risen from the edge Working man by design We were the lucky ones, no way, no way Given Risen Working man Lucky ones I go out in the rainstorm Driving down the freeway Then I hit a puddle of water, Hydroplane Rainstorm down the freeway of water, Hydroplane

The Best 07:02
Well his mind just keeps wandering Wondering what’s to come No matter what’s in store for him Sure to be smiling having fun, uh huh! There will be no time to rest Until the work gets done Because he knows that it’s all good And everybody’s one, one! So he travels down the road to nowhere And everywhere’s his home He never stays in one place for too long Because he likes to roam, roam along! Cause there’s way too much out here In this whole world to see You know, it kinda makes you feel blessed you come from This here land of the brave and free, yes! He makes the best of what he’s got He gives it up, he don’t ever stop Because the lovin’ he’s got a lot Spreads it all around, while the beat drops In harmony the music fills his soul The wheels upon his bus go ‘round and ‘round they roll And there must be some kind of circus going on inside of his head Flies through the light as it changes from yellow to red No matter where he ends up he knows he’s gonna be just fine He might take a little water, now,he might turn it into wine In his cup of overflowing love he passes through the crowd As a ray of sunlight shines down through the clouds, yes! He makes the best of what he’s got He gives it up, he don’t ever stop Because the lovin’ he’s got a lot Spreads it all around, while the beat drops Now as the sun begins to sink He looks to the sky His mind is so way up Lord, you know he’s a million miles high he's High Well as the vibe it grows and it grows It’s blowing through the air And everybody’s dancing ‘round and ‘round and ‘round outside Without a care, without a care And as the night-time falls upon us all He sets the fire ablaze Knowing we’ll all be together right now Until the end of days, the end of daze the end of daze You know I was sitting right there, that night I couldn’t believe my eyes Tears of joy and happiness As he began to cry Wishes on a shooting star as it flies by And then he smiles as the tear-drop falls from his eyes, yes! He makes the best of what he’s got He gives it up, he don’t ever stop Because the lovin’ he’s got a lot Spreads it all around, lord you know he’s spreading the love around Crying out loud, out loud, lord Because the lovin’ he’s got a lot Spreads it all around, while the beat drops

The Journey 06:13
Hard to ignore these new visions to explore New dimensions Time and Space I see colors grow and people glow And a crazy mans face All controlled by the forces that surround this place I can taste the things You've felt Now hear the things I see Manipulative consciousness Perpetual energy In a moments time You can change a mind Plant a seed in someone with a perfect word And as the colors swirl, You can change the world And I'll take it, this ride with You Unexpected ignorance before To the responsibilities behind the door Because once revealed You've got to show Because you'll never again not know The beauty of The Flow Flipped was the script As we get hurled To a brand new world And suddenly..... start to fly! In a moments time You can change a mind Plant a seed in someone with a perfect word And as the colors swirl You can change the world And I'll take it, this ride with you Why try? Just fly Lead with Your Minds Eye and fly And I'll take it This ride with You...

Catch 22 10:13
Is it such a bad thing? To take a taste from memories past When all I wanted was just to make the moment last Isn’t that a funny thing to say? When I just smoke them all away Isn’t that a dirty thing to do? If I don’t spend all my time with you And you don’t know just exactly where I’ve gone to But I’m gonna do what I’m gonna do Oh no, for myself, I don’t always know just what is best Oh yes, got to look around just to see how much I been blessed Oh maybe, maybe so, I just got to feel it down deep in my soul Yeah yeah, but I got the right to change my mind Yes or no, Maybe so Is there something wrong? Cause you don’t seem to be so happy, no Was it something I said? And why are you so quick to just up and go Is it me or is it you? Cause you and I know I don’t want you to From your feelings run away How would you ever know if you don’t Stay to figure out what’s going on Not that I would tell you anyway But you can see that I’m gonna keep on living my life, being myself I guess there’s nothing left to say Oh no, maybe so, I don’t know So when all is said and done Will I still be the only one Or would you then be on your way, on your way And be alone till your dying day You know that could never happen Cause you and I know we got too much to lose It’s not my decision or your decision Cause it’s all for this we got to choose And you don’t know just exactly where I’ve gone to And you don’t wanna live life in some Catch 22 Oh, but you know just exactly what I’m gonna do I’m gonna do what I’m gonna do Oh no, for myself, I don’t always know just what is best Oh yes, got to look around just to see how much I been blessed Oh maybe, maybe so, I just got to feel it down deep in my soul Yeah yeah, but I got the right to change my mind Oh yes, got to look around just to see how much I been blessed Oh no, for myself, I don’t always know just what is best Oh maybe, maybe so, I just got to feel it down deep in my soul Yeah yeah, but I got the right to change my mind Yes or no, Maybe so

Why should I, Listen to your lies once more? Why Should I, Feel this way, again? Why should I, Listen to your lies once more? Why should I, Feel your pain my friend? Every time that you said that you had grown I must admit, that was my mind that you blown To take you back well, I swear I never will And I’m done with you yea - I’ve drowned in your lies It’s bad enough that you got one love But it’s even worse that you stole number two You better watch your back and don’t close your eyes Cause your dead to me and I’ve drowned in lies

Searchin' 08:41
Spur of the moment thing I'm sittin with my friends And yet I'm feeling kind of lonely still Thinkin about how to cure a longing heart That's when we heard the news That's when it all would start We heard about a happy place Where everyone would go to dance and sing A place where a dream and drum and a happy soul Are the only things you need to bring So now I'm searchin' for a rainbow A place where everyone is kind Well we'll sit around the campfire And a dose of peace and love I'm sure to find When we finally reached the place In which the rainbow would fall A thousand people gathered As if they all were called Who knew what they were searchin' for By the smile they all had upon their face Well it must have been the spirit of the rainbow That had brought them to this place For two days we would party For two days we would play And in the evening we jam to the band So in the morning we could say We saw the rainbow We were searchin' for so long Finally found a song under the rainbow Patched dresses spinning Across the green green fields Flowers in our hair we laughed And the smiles were sure to heal Later as the evening drowned The fires still burned bright And the glistening stars above Showed us a peaceful night On top of that mountainous hill we stood silently and stared across that land And the fields that we would dance upon brought brothers and sisters hand in hand Nothing left to say Nothing left to do But the rainbow lived and breathed this day And the blissful scene had proved We saw the rainbow We were searchin' for so long Finally found a song under the rainbow

Happenstance 07:56
A colorful wash of words was all I heard when they were painted in It was the music brushing fine rhythm upon the canvas of my mind Vibrations filled my senses as the dance of iridescent light Spun around the sculpted sounds that skipped in time with moves of watery design And they sang Watch the energy flow Color-changing lights aglow Easy tempo Breezy winds begin to blow Liquid laughter dripped down into the pool of rippled fire and voices Singed the outside edges of what we had hoped to find Falling through the tunneled labyrinth lost-and-found the pattern to The spiral staircase to the place where we would all unwind And we'll sing Watch the energy flow Color-changing lights aglow Easy tempo Breezy winds begin to blow Is this situation happenstance? Miscellaneous information? Just the product of chance? Or is it, somehow, meant to be? This message that was sent to me Abrasive and uncomparable Persuasive and unstoppable Watch the energy flow Color-changing lights aglow Easy tempo Breezy winds begin to blow Watch the energy flow Color-changing lights aglow Easy tempo Breezy winds won’t seem to blow Tell y’all something you should know We won’t stop, We won’t slow Operation on the down low Heed the signal before you go Heed the signal
