I'm well on my way
I'm almost everything
And this is my day
Make me wanna sang

Hook:
I'm free, look at me
And all and everything I'm allowed to see
Free, come and see
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na

Shapeless, Formless
I can Harvest enormous
I've born this I've worn this
No never what the norm is
Come here it's fearless
Contrast and color
Wisdom's a woman
Listen and love her

Hook:
I'm free, look at me
Freedom in Hi Fidelity
Free, come and see
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na

What you waiting on
I want action, passion, smiling
Laughing, yielding, feeling
Helping, healing
Introduce your neighbor to
Your savior

I'm free, look at me
Freedom in Hi Fidelity
Free
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na

. . .



I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions had an echo and so much space

And when you're out there without care
Yeah I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me Crazy
Does that make me Crazy
Does that make me Crazy
Possibly

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now
who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you
think you are, ha ha ha bless your soul
you really think you're in control

I think you're Crazy
I think you're Crazy
I think you're Crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on the limb
All I remember is thinking I want to be like them.
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little
It looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

But Maybe I'm Crazy
Maybe you're Crazy
Maybe we're Crazy
Probably

. . .



I packed a few of my belongings
Left the life that I was living
Just some memories of it
Mostly the ones I can't forget

Whenever you need me I'll be here
Until then my dear
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going there
Don't ask me to make time
To travel back and forth
Let nature take it's course
Maybe I'm open from all this ocean air
And if it weren't for you I'd be without a care
Setting sail to St. Elsewhere

Anywhere you sit you can see the sun
Unfortunately on this island I'm the only one
Same rules apply on a rainy day
And it's not such a pretty place to be
It just rains, and rains, and rains on me
Send a simple side, I can understand
Then a flower grew out that sand
Before you knew it, I was back out on that sea
Now I don't mind it so much
Because as long as I'm not there
Anywhere is St. Elsewhere

Way over yonder there is new frontier
Would it be so hard for you to come and visit me here?
I understand
Would you just send me a message in a bottle then baby?
St. Elsewhere

. . .



Beautiful girl, lovely dress,
High school smiles, oh yes,
Beautiful girl, lovely dress,
Where she is now I can only guess.

Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone.
Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone.
Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone.
Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone away.

When I see you,
Eyes will turn blue,
When I see you,
A thousand eyes turning blue.

Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone.
Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone.
Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone.
Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone away.

I can tell by the way that you,
Switch and walk,
I can see by the way,
That you baby talk.
I know by the way that you,
Treat your man.
I can love you baby, 'til it's a crying.

Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone.
Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone.
Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone.
Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone away.

Beautiful girl, lovely dress,
15 miles, oh yes,
Beautiful girl, lovely dress,
Where she is now I can only guess.

Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone.
Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone.
Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone.
Cuz its gone daddy gone,
The love is gone away.

What did you do
What did you say
Did you walk or did you
Run away
Where are you now
Where have you been
Did you go alone or
Did you bring a friend
I need to know this cause
I notice you smiling
Out in the sun, having fun
And feeling free
And I can tell you know
How hard this life can be
But you keep on smiling for me

What went right, what went wrong
Was it a story or was it a song
Was it over night or did it take you long
Was knowing your weakness what
Made you strong
Or all the above, oh how I love
To see you smiling
And oh yeah take a little pain
Just in case
You need something warm to embrace
To help you put on a smiling face
Put on a smiling face

Don't you go off into the new day with any doubt
Here's a summary of something that you can smile about
Say for instance my girlfriend she bugs me all the time
But the Irony of it all is that she loves me all the time

I wanna be you whenever I see you smiling
Because its easily one of the hardest things to do
Your worries and fear become your friends
And they end up smiling at you
Put on a smiling face

. . .



I've got a monster in my closet
Someone's underneath my bed
The wind's knocking at my window
I'd kill it but it's already dead

It waits till the midnight hour to come
To torture me for the wrong i've done
it just sits there and stares me
And it won't let me get any sleep

(Repeat Hook)

At first I was scared when
I looked at his eyes
But now that I know him I'm not that surprised
I'm just waiting on the sun to rise
Oh how I wish that old sun would rise

(Repeat Hook)

I used to wonder why he looked familiar
Then I realized it was a mirror
And now it is plain to see,
The whole time the monster was me

(Repeat Hook)

Yeah Mmm The living dead
Only thing that could bring it back alive, Woman
Is some good good head
(Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha)

In this house the decor is obvious up scour.
See clearly the theory of less is more.
A plant a pet and books on the shelf.
And a frame on the wall where you can,
Picture yourself,
And you're welcome to stay.
But even your company must complement.
The Feng Shui.
Even down to what I have on.
They do wonder to what.
Extent I have gone.
Tailored and tapered couture to the curb.
Demanding the attention.
that it does deserve.
Fabrics for the forecast of the day
I admit it
Everything is fitted to fall in Feng Shui.
More importantly the way that I move.
If I'm in your town, my needles down,
on the groove.
On site they know my song.
It ain't slow and it sho ain't long.
You see I do not play.
Forgive me father, I was forced,
Out of Feng Shui.
A flow as subtle as a summer breeze.
Like the whispering winds and
The talking trees.
To big to be boxed in, it bobs and weaves.
It evolves, it solves, it gives and receives.
And everything I say is
calculated appropriated
Written and arranged in Feng Shui!

. . .


All I want is your understanding,
Ash in the small light of affections.
Why is this my life?
Is almost everybodies question.

And ive tried,
Everything but suicide,
But its crossed my mind.

I prefer peace,
Wouldn't have to have one worldy possesion,
But essentially Im an animal,
So just what do I do with all the aggresion?

Well ive tried,
Everything but suicide,
But it's crossed my mind.

Life is a one way street and,
If you could paint it,
I'd draw myself going in the right direction,
So I go all the way,
Like I really really know but the truth is,
Im only guessing.

And I've tried,
Everything but suicide,
Ooh but it's crossed my mind...

Just a thought.

It's even dark in the day time,
It's not just good, it's great depression
When I was lost I even found myself,
Looking in the guns direction.

And so I've tried
Everything but suicide
But yes, it's crossed my mind...

But I'm fine.

Hook
I, I, I, I, I, I
Know how to transform
I can transform
Ill transform
I'm a transformer
I, I, I, I, I, I
Know how to transform
I can transform
Ill transform
I'm a transformer

I'm just being myself
Plus I gotta be me too
Silly of me to think that
I couldn't bring myself to be you
Ah but behold there is benevolence
Behind this but don't stare though
Be careful cause I'll kill you
With kindness
That why I'm dressed quite neatly
Cause Its easy and discreetly they seek me
And when they reach me and see me
they believe me completely
I'm a real live wire I ain't lying
If its between me and you I ain't dying
I can transform, I can transform, I can transform
Without even trying wow

Repeat hook

Now I'm someone else
Now someone can be me too
Behold the beautiful and bold
everyday I
Wake up to be new
Oh but its simple but they still can understand why
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can or can I
I'm a microchip off the old block
You know not but I was a robot
And I sold Rock and you would get
For sho shoot with a gold glock boy I rode pac
Something that you won't see again
What the hell might as well be a friend
I can transform, I'm a transformer
No telling who I will have to be again

Repeat hook

. . .



Basically I'm complicated
I have a hard time taking the easy way
I wouldn't call it schizophrenia
But I'll be at least 2 people today

If that's okay

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

It's deep how you can be so shallow
And I'm afraid cause I have no fear
And I didn't believe in magic
Until I watched you disappear

I wish you where here

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

You see, everybody is somebody
But nobody wants to be themselves
and If I ever wanted to understand me
I'll have to talk to someone else

Cause every little bit helps

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

Feels like... the surreal life
But it's still nice
Wish I could live twice
but I still might
if these bones heal right
I see a little light
though it's still night

Feels like... surreal like
But its still nice
Wish I could live twice
but I still might
if these bones heal right
I see a little light
though it's still night

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

And I can go on and on and on... but who cares?

. . .



I'm on the line.
I'm on the line.
Once I clean my mirror.
I'm a be feeling fine.
Trying to get there is,
all that's on my mind.
When I'm on the line.

Even though I run my race,
With a smile on my face.
It ain't easy, naw it ain't.
Feels like the life of the party.
But it's all in your mind,
On the line.

I'm on the line.
I'm on the line.
Once I clean my mirror.
I'm a be feeling fine.
Even when you're falling,
Just pretend you're flying.
When ya on the line.

I'm with everybody but I'm still alone,
Just look down, that's my,
line your standing on.
Let's keep it friendly and we'll be just fine.
But don't cross that line!

. . .



Ah - wake up, wake up, wake up.
Dont - wake up, wake up, wake up.
Wake up, wake up, wake up.

It's naughty
very naughty necrophilia
without a care
I'm compassionate about killing her
I'd have my way
with what's left of the will in her.

Cosmopolitans and cocaine
an occasional pill in her
When she'd smoke I saw a spark
but it was dark so
I drove her home when she died
sexy suicide
Sweet nothings for the nom,
you feel where I'm coming from?
Have no fear everything's fine
my girl parties all the time.

Did you hear what I said?
With this ring I thee wed.
Her body in my bed,
she was cool when I met her,
but I think I like her better dead.

Ah - wake up, wake up, wake up.
Dont - wake up, wake up, wake up.

The production is progressive
but the reason is retro
the course of cold blooded murder
I named it neo Necro.
I whispered in her ear to hear an echo.
Ech, ech, echo...

I keep her, it's cheaper,
I love her too much to let go,
we discussed over dinner how she'd die before the day was done,
so I caught her just in time
to have a little fun
and you could use a little sun.

So scream and holler
run and play,
wish you could die
another day.

I'm glad to say that I done
what I could to revive
my softer side survived, damn.
But she was alright,
she was alive.

. . .



I could paint a picture with a pen
But a song will only scratch the skin
And there are still places I haven't been
Because I know what's in there is already in the air

Oh yeah, there's a storm on the way
There's a storm on the way, alright
There's a storm on the way, uh huh
And it's comin' no matter what I say
(And I come, I come, I come, I come)

Hey, hey, hey, there's truth in the thunder
Love in the lightning, the feeling is frightening
Yeah, isn't it exciting?
I'm something like stormy weather
If I weren't we would never
Huddle together, do I have to tell you
That I'm also the sunlight, that shines shortly after?
I just rain cause I have to, on to another chapter
I wish you lots of laughter
Til the next time you see me
Just remember you need me, I'm the storm coming
(And I come, I come, I come, I come)
Oh C'mon (And I come, I come, I come, I come), c'mon

Run towards the hills to avoid the high flood
I can do a dance that'll make the sky cry blood
Skills provoke, and seals will be broken open
All that's left to do is try my love, wooooooh

When I sing it's a cyclone
I'm writing a raging sea
Searching for a sign of life
Is it safe to say it's me?
Listen to our lives
The wind will whisper the way it is
I am going to happen, what a lovely day it is
Don't ask why
Just live, and, die

. . .



All work and no play
That's the way it is, ain't it
There's a rhythm deep inside of you
And you must get reacquainted (ooh)

When was the last time you danced?
When was the last time you danced?

Well come rock with me baby
Dance with me darlin'
Step with me sweetheart
The world is watching

Under an endless sky
Wish I could fly away forever (and ever)
And the poetry is so pure
When we are on the floor together (It's been a long time, remember?)

When was the last time you danced?
When was the last time you danced?

Well come rock with me baby
Dance with me darlin'
Step with me sweetheart
The world is watching

Don't deny me any further
Let me have my way
Ohhh, come closer, yeah
Let's dance the night away

Come rock with me baby
Dance with me darlin'
Step with me sweetheart
The world is watching
