Let’s take a rocket to the dark side of the moon Bring your coat because it’s cold like Saskatoon Cause anywhere else is better than right here Than to be stuck in a world of calculated fear Living on earth makes me wanna get up and disappear I wanna see the stars of a brand new galaxy I wanaa see the stars of a brand new galaxy It’s better to travel my dear With good company Let’s explore the universe under the sea We’ll be safe in the comfort of a submarine Pioneer a world of make believe Wouldn’t it be a delightful treat? To be in the places you can only visit in dreams

My Bones 03:18
Acting bold I tend to go across the grain It gives the meaning to the reputation of my name To stay intact through a sea change Evolving never to change because of my petty fears To stay intact through a sea change Preserve and sustain the sense of self that I hold dear I’m staying true to my bones I’m staying true to my bones I’m staying true to my bones How can my instinct ever let me feel wrong? Whatever the reasons to be influenced to resist Don’t led or follow live a life and simply exist To stay intact through a sea change Evolving never to change with every passing year To stay intact through a sea change Preserve and sustain the love for the people that I hold dear I’m staying true to my bones I’m staying true to my bones I’m staying true to my bones How can my instinct ever let me feel wrong?

Here I am Strolling down the avenue A hopeless heart Searching for a trace of you A streetwise guy won’t admit defeat Trying his luck at three card Monte Is the corner hustle all he’ll ever be? Earning his keep on these thirsty streets There’s no excuse For these concrete jungle blues Set up to lose With the concrete jungle blues In the rat race We move together but we’re so alone Down on the subways The faceless are buried in their phones A speed freak speed talkin’ jive Like a beat poet spitting words out in their prime Who needs that next fix to feel alive Or just anything to feel inside There’s no excuse For these concrete jungle blues Set up to lose With the concrete jungle blues Here I am Strolling down the avenue Lost again Searching for a trace of you, yes you A dope fiend whose afraid of the light Living out the days in permanent midnight In the land of the nod loosing the fight The way of the needle just ain’t right There’s no excuse For these concrete jungle blues Set up to lose With the concrete jungle blues The urban groove Is the concrete jungle blues Set up to lose With the concrete jungle blues

Someday 05:47
The distance between Our shared company It seems like light years Until we might reconvene Our destiny Relies on a chance meeting Like two ships crossing paths Up in the cosmic sea And I wished the best of them And I hoped the rest of them You left me on a ticket to ride Gave my soul the best of them Talked deep with the rest of them You’ve been weighing on my heart and my mind All alone I wait impatiently for the future to unfold And I realize that its plain to see you’re a fortune better than gold Reflecting to feel The impression you left on me I’ll wear it like a badge of honor To show your good deed Time it creeps To slow for my comforting These days feel like years When you’re trapped in purgatory And I wished the best of them And I hoped the rest of them You left me on a ticket to ride Gave my soul the best of them Talked deep with the rest of them You’ve been weighing on my heart and my mind All alone I wait impatiently for the future to unfold And I realize that its plain to see you’re a fortune better than gold

Got into my car and set out for a drive I need reminding of why I’m still alive Can’t runaway from pain, just stare it in the face I keep running lost in this maze In moving traffic I’ll blend in with the cars Like a drop of water in a reservoir I will loose myself in thought to the rhythm of the road My destination is kept unknown Sunrise highway Sunrise highway Sunrise highway Cruising until the sun goes down At Montauk I will turn around Colors explode in a twilight sky Fading to black to give the stars another try Do the cosmos dictate our luck and destiny? Do I have the wherewithal to wait and see? Sunrise highway Sunrise highway Sunrise highway Cruising until the sun goes down At Montauk I will turn around Hum along to a simply melody That can conjure up nostalgic memories The music is cathartic as it pulses to my heart It strengthens me, it rips me apart Sunrise highway Sunrise highway Sunrise highway Cruising until the sun goes down At Montauk I will turn around
