West Indian Girl Album

we see
bright lights, another day, i'm waking up.
into the street, stay on beat, here it comes

believe
so i get high to lift myself, remembering.
i'm running late, i'm running late, here it comes

and you don't know how you got there
you don't know why you got there

inside
sunday, monday, pass the time away
friday saturdays on, here it comes

LA dee da
and the world's a song that plays along,
la dee da dee day to die in LA

and you don't know how you got there
you don't know why you got there

looking outside outside of yourself

Surfing on the bluest wave, I'm ready to go
Reaching for the shiny eye that swims below
Try to catch one, only the best one
Surfing on the bluest wave
Try to catch one, only the best one

Little tiny eyeballs see the places I've gone
They keep pictures of all my old friends,
they'll always live on
Every summer we come togetherv Looking for the bluest wave

Try to catch one, only the best one
Try to catch one, you're the best one

And it's coming down, raining like a pulse of light
And were riding on the longest wave tonight
If we ever get there, we'll all get laid tonight
Surfing on the bluest wave

Try to catch one, only the best one
Try to catch one, you're the best one

I'm finally going to make it...my way

Sofia Lyrics
Send "Sofia" Ringtone to your Cell
If I should leave and never return, lite a candle and let it burn
Cause light transcends time
And when it's raining on the avenue, a wind will blow me back to you
This time it's for real
Come home, Sofia

If you see a light just off the road, a line of footsteps in the snow
Don't stop, you're almost home
Knock three times and ring the bell, you'll hear a voice you knew so well
It takes you from the cold

Come home, Sofia

She's floating up to outer space
And this time it's for real
When I look back it comes to me
Love is a symphony and
She and God are one

Come home, Sofia

Everybody seems so far away
We're lying on a beach in the sun
Looking for a hole in the sky that we could climb out of
Flip on the radio, it's a song I've heard before
It's a song to burn the clouds away
All my friends get high

They say the day has to end, but we never get tired
All the lights shine beads upon your eyes, whoa I
We'll use stars as candlelight, come here every night
There's no chance of them finding us today
All my friends get high

They're never going to find us
In the wide open space
In the color of your skin
At the bottom of your soul
There's a hole in the sky
With a place for everyone
Lying on the beach in the sun

All my friends get high

I've been sleeping for days
Wishing I was somewhere else
How many times have they tried to wake me
Some they want to save you, some they want to drag you down...

How does it feel She knows I've been waiting for
Something worth living for again
How does it feel
I'm just standing on a window ledge and
I can see we're drifting away
This is our last chance to make it right

I listened to the sound of all those I'm sorrys
Running through the back of my head
My left foot's on a stone, your toes in the sand
I wonder if we'll make it, this time I'll never wake up

How does it feel
She knows I've been waiting for
Something worth living for again
How does it feel
I'm just standing on a window ledge and
I can see we're drifting away
This is our last chance to make it right

When I was a young 'boy you have the sad-est face'
One night in Mexico, we chased our memories
It's too late to live it down, lost in another town
Lift myself up off the ground, get back to that northern sound

You're lost, who will find us
Jump back, bring it back, bring it back three

What a lonely smile, child you forgot to live
In America they stare at ya, this is the worst it gets
In a western town, a vista near a metaphor
Come back or stay at home, it's a three day drive up the coast

You're lost, who will find us
Jump back, bring it back. bring it back three

I was looking for an alibi
To find some money to stay alive
There's got to be another way
I still see her waving...goodbye.

I know, I know, I know there's a world of space between
The stars are suns that ebb and flow the words we speak

Hold on, breath tight, never ever let it go
Your eyes at twilight shine

I know, I know, I know we shed skin to feel
And float above like birds disguised we fly, it's real

Hold on, breath tight, never ever let it go
Your eyes at twilight shine
We can make it, we can break it, or we can take it slow
So please stay, please stay, we'll find a way to never let it go

I'll never let you go and you'll never let me go
Tell me your secret

You're all alone and you follow me

As he rose up to meet the challenge
Words he might have said
An arrow shot through his heart and
Stopped him in his tracks

I'm running, running, running back to you

He lied awake counting minutes
He imagined he was under water
Where she's swimming out beneath the surface
Together between the currents

I'm running, running, running back to you

People believe
I still remember
People lose
And still regret
People become
I shouldn't have told her
People dream
To forget

He reached out with a whisper
Hoping she might hear
In his mind, she is dancing
I want you

I'm running, running, running back to you

I saw you rise from the dead
And leave behind the skin you had
To live again, to love again...

I saw you rise out of your body...

Say goodbye to everyone and leave it all behind
You know they tried to hold you down and change your way of life
But no judge or lord above can tell you what to do

Get Up, Get Up

One day when we get away high upon that hill
You'll see we're all the same, no matter what we feel
There's a little good in everyone, everyone can shine

Get Up, Get Up
You and I will rise above
You and I will shine on...into the blue

You know they won't believe
Unless it's on TV
And now we're saving ourselves
And all the people we love
Yeah, the people we love...come on

Get Up, Get Up
You and I will rise above
You and I will shine on
