Nothing to Fear

Oh no
It’s the end of the world they say
But I think it will be okay
Cause my hand’s clutching yours
Don’t look now
It seems these mountains are crumbling down
But there’s nothing to fear my dear
Cause I’m always near
And ohhhheyyyyyyyiiiiii
We will be waiting for this to pass
Ohhheyyyyyiiiiiii
There will not be any turning back
And ohhhhhheyyyyyyyiiiii
Here they come around again
Singing this will be the end ohhhhhhhhhh
What the freak
These snakes are raining down on mainstreet
But you can take shelter underneath
I’ll be your umbrella
And when the sky
Turns as black as the darkest night
I’ll be your candle…your burning light
Don’t worry I’ll lead the way
And ohhhheyyyyyyyiiiiii
We will be waiting for this to pass
Ohhheyyyyyiiiiiii
There will not be any turning back
And ohhhhhheyyyyyyyiiiii
Here they come around again
Singing this will be the end ohhhhhhhhhh
Oh no
It’s the end of the world they say
But I think it will be okay
Cause my hand’s clutching yours

Where Do You Go
02:58

Can, can you hear us now
Cause we’re here
We’re screaming out loud
To friends of friends, you’ll leave behind
Left in dust when it’s do or die
And I know, but what do I know
They pulled it on you twice
There’s no mistaking it
Paying for the price
You can’t be taking it anymore
But where did you go
Can, can see us now
Don’t blink
Don’t ever look down
Just hold your head up, high and dry
It will come to pass from time to time
And I know, but what do I know
They pulled it on you twice
There’s no mistaking it
Paying for the price
You can’t be taking it anymore
But where did you go
Can, can you hear us now
Can you hear us now

Traveling Coat

I’m your traveling coat
Protect you from rain and snow
Wherever you go, I’ll probably go
When the winds come to blow
The trees they sway to and fro
Wherever you go, I’m your traveling coat
But it seems I’m lost
Not quite left behind
If I’m still in your sight
Just don’t let me go
I’m your traveling coat
And it seems I’ve turned gray and old
And now that you’re grown, to the trash I go
So the season has changed
No snow, no rain
And so I am gone
I’ve been tossed away
I’m your traveling coat
And it seems I’ve turned gray and old
And now that you’re grown, to the trash I go

Everything In Between
03:25
|
|

Maybe it’s me, and maybe I’ve failed to see
Everything in between black and white
Colored in between wrong and right
Or it’s you, and maybe you chose to lose
It’s not what they say to you, but what you do
Cause now you’ve blown it, you pick and chose
Until all at once, it starts to die
The dreams you had within your eyes
Crawl in your heart, they sit a while
They fall apart as you try to smile
And begin to think of where to start
Or better yet where is your heart
Where is your heart
Sometimes I worry about my head, sometimes I worry about your head too
If we we’re broken and split in two
What would we be left to do
It’s never quite what it seems to be, you never want what it is you need
Too many things are just wait and see
So they never quite interest me
So I’ll ask if it’s okay
Take your hand and we will stay
To the moment it will fade
Until all at once, it starts to die
The dreams you had within your eyes
Crawl in your heart, they sit a while
They fall apart as you try to smile
And begin to think of where to start
Or better yet where is your heart
Where is your heart

Dancin' Shoes
03:27
|
|

I tried it once, a time or two ago
But I lost the beat
My feet were just to slow
But all at once it started it up to soon
And all at once the music filled the room
And up and down, the rows were waving
Side to side, the columns swaying
All at once, I heard them saying
1,2,3 follow my lead
1,2,3 why can’t you see
1,2,3 why can’t you see…..
That my left side can’t do what right side will
My hands can’t move and my feet stay still
When all I wanted was to make the bill
To dance it off so I could feel
The beat trickle down from my trunks to my roots
So some day I could fill those shoes
And dance it off from here to the moon
But all at once it started it up to fast
And all at once I knew I could not last
And up and down, the rows were waving
Side to side, my limbs were flailing
All at once, I heard her saying
1,2,3 follow my lead
1,2,3 why can’t you see
1,2,3 why can’t you see…..
That my left side can’t do what right side will
My hands can’t move and my feet stay still
When all I wanted was to make the bill
To dance it off so I could feel
I tried it once, a time or two ago
But I lost the beat
My feet were just to slow
And all at once it started it up to fast
And all at once I knew I could not last

Night Dreaming

Is there a sound I should hear
To let me know when she’s near
Where will it end, where will it start
Goes from my brain to my heart
But will it be loud enough to hear
A quiet whisper in my ears
All this time you had been waiting
No more room now for hesitation here
Is there a phrase I could say
If he comes walking by my way
A well timed sigh, a slow refrain
Reflect through puddles made of rain
Or will it be clear enough to see
Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be
All this time you had been waiting
No more room now for hesitation here
All this time you had been waiting
No more room now for hesitation here

Last Transmission
03:04
|
|

In the end there’s nothing left to defend
We don’t bend, we only wish and pretend
So I do what I can, I pack and I send
This is a last transmission to outer space
I gotta do all I can, and send my cassette tape
But all I have is what I’m holding in my two hands
This is a last transmission to space
It’s not safe, cause it all comes in waves
Like the rain, it never will wait
So I do what I can, this won’t be more than a bend
This is a last transmission to outer space
I gotta do all I can, and send my cassette tape
But all I have is what I’m holding in my two hands
This is a last transmission to space

Morning
03:18
|
|
||

When morning comes to take your dreams away
Hold them in tightly
Don’t let them fade
Hold them close with every breath you take
You’re tossing and turning
Your body is aching
While I pick a point and stare at it wide awake
While you are sleeping, there’s something I must say
But I sing instead til it all just sounds the same
The repetition of signals, going straight to your brain
See they come so easy, and leave without a trace
Float off in the distance, til they reach outer space

Chances

It’s anyone’s guess which way that it will
The wind when it blows, it comes and it goes
So, if I told you things that you should never know
Would you stay, come on don’t you know
Well she stands outside in the rain
Hoping for rainbows, to pass through the day
And he can’t stand being alone
But is afraid to let the truth be known
For all I know, and what it is that I’ve been told
It’s fortune that seems to favor the bold
But who am I to say that I could ever know
Where to stay, and when to go
Well she stands outside in the cold
Hoping for raindrops, to turn into snow
And he can’t stand being alone
But is afraid to let the truth be known
It’s anyone’s guess which way that it will
The wind when it blows, it comes and it goes

First came 1, then 2, then 3
The second and the third keep the first company
Cause when they get down it’s plane to see
They bring it all together in three harmonies
Going dum dum dah dah dum dum dum dah dah dah dah
dum dum dah dah dum dum dum dah dah dah dah
dum dum dah dah dum dum dum dah dah dah dah
dum dum dah dah dum dum dum dah dah dah dah
cause when the time is right, the moon and stars can hear from outerspace
the three will blend in unison
it’s something of a sight to see and
ahhhhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhhh
ohhhhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhhh
ahhhhhhh ahhhhhh ahhhhhhh
ohhhhhhh ohhhhhh ohhhhhhh
repeat once
dum dum dah dah dum dum dum dah dah dah dah
dum dum dah dah dum dum dum dah dah dah dah
dum dum dah dah dum dum dum dah dah dah dah
dum dum dah dah dum dum dum dah dah dah dah
dum dum dah dah dah dum

So I want to be a songwriter
But I can’t find the notes to call my own
For when I sing em they sound so alone
They’re missing pieces
Someone please beat those drums…..get em James
So we can play along
Bring the bass
Accompany those drums
I’ve had the feeling now for much too long
The time is right for us to prove those cats wrong
Cause we know something they don’t know
It’s not okay to be so low
We don’t much to make it go
Just hearrrt and soull ooohhh ohhh ohhhh
Cause we know something they don’t know
It’s not okay to be so low
We don’t much to stay afloat
Just hearrrt and soull ooohhh ohhh ohhhh
For The WinNNNNNNNNNNNN
