    1. Any Road

      Oh I've been traveling on a boat and a plane
      In a car on a bike with a bus and a train
      Traveling there and traveling here
      Everywhere in every gear

      But oh Lord we pay the price with a
      Spin of a wheel - with a roll of a dice
      Ah yeah you pay your fare
      And if you don't know where you're going
      Any road will take you there

      And I've been traveling through the dirt and the grime
      From the past to the future through the space and the time
      Traveling deep beneath the waves - in
      watery grottoes and mountainous caves

      But oh Lord we've got to fight
      With the thoughts in the head with the dark and tle light
      No use to stop and stare
      And if you don't know where you're going
      Any road will take you there

      You may not known where you came from
      May not know who you are
      May not have even wondered how
      you got this fair

      I've been traveling on a wing and a prayer
      By the skin of my teeth by the breadth of a hair
      Traveling where the four winds blow
      With the sun on my face - in the ice
      and the snow

      But oooeeee it's a game
      Sometimes you're cool, sometimes
      you're lame
      Ah yeah it's somewhere
      And if you don't know where you're going
      Any road will take you there

      But oh Lord we pay the price
      With the spin of the wheel with the roll of
      the dice
      Ah yeah, you pay your fare
      And if you don't know where you're going
      Any road will take you there

      I keep traveling around the bend
      There was no beginning, there is no end
      It wasn't born and never dies
      There are no edges, there is no sides
      Oh yeah, you just don't win
      It's so far out - the way out is in
      Bow to God and call him Sir
      But if you don't know where you're going
      Any road will take you there

    2. P2 Vatican Blues (Last Saturday Night)

      Gazed at the ceiling from below
      A splendid Michelangelo
      Filled my heart with delight
      Last Saturday night

      Arrived believing from home
      Climbed every step inside St. Peter's Dome
      Claustrophobic and ex-Catholic
      Last Saturday night

      Now how come nobody really noticed
      Puff of white smoke knocked me out
      The truth is hiding, lurking, banking
      Things they do at night

      It's quite suspicious to say the least
      Even mentioned it to my local priest
      One Our Father, three Hail Marys
      Each Saturday Night

      I wish somebody would tell me
      That it's only a show
      I'll confess, own up, let's face it
      In my concrete tuxedo

      It's quite suspicious to say the least
      While mentioning it to my priest
      One Our Father, three Hail Marys
      Each Saturday night

      One Our Father three Hail Marys
      Each Saturday night
      One Our Father three Hail Marys
      Each Saturday night

    3. Pisces Fish

      Rowers gliding on the river
      Canadian geese crap along the bank
      Back wheel of my bike begins to quiver
      The chain is wrapped around the crank

      Old ladies, who must be doggie training
      Walking, throwing balls, chasing all the sheep
      While the farmer stands around, and he’s complaining
      His mad cows are being put to sleep
      I’m a Pisces fish and the river runs through my soul

      Smoke signals from the brewery
      Like someone in there found the latest Pope
      In a vat of beer that keeps pumping out with fury
      While the church bell ringer’s trangled in his rope

      But there’s a temple on an island
      I think of all the Gods and what they feel
      You can only find them in the deepest silence
      I’ve got to get off of this big wheel

      I’m a Pisces fish and the river runs through my soul
      I’m a Pisces fish and the river runs through my soul

      And I’ll be swimming until I can find those waters
      That’s the one unbounded ocean of bliss
      That’s flowing through your parents, sons and daughters
      But still an easy thing for us to miss

      Blades go skimming through the water
      I hear the coxon shouting his instructions about
      With this crew oh, it could be a tall order
      Have we time to sort all these things out ?

      Sometimes my life it feels like fiction
      Some of the days it’s really quite serene
      I’m a living proof of all life’s contradictions
      One half’s going where the other half’s just been

      And I’m a Pisces fish and the river runs through my soul
      I’m a Pisces fish and the river runs through my soul
      I’m a Pisces fish and the river runs through my soul

    4. Looking For My Life

      Oh lord, won’t you listen to me now
      Oh love, I got to get me back to you somehow
      I never knew that life was loaded
      I’d only hung around birds and bees
      I never knew that things exploded
      I only found it out when I was down upon my knees
      Looking for my life, looking for my life

      Oh boy, you’ve no idea what I’ve been through
      Oh lord, I feel so stuck that I can’t get to you
      Had no idea that I was heading
      Toward a state of emergency
      I had no fear where I was treading
      I only found it out when I was down upon my knees
      Looking for my life

      Caught up on me with intensity
      Had no idea where I was heading
      I only found it out when I was down upon my knees
      Looking for my life, looking for my life

      Oh boys you've no idea what I’ve been through
      Oh lord, I got to get back somehow to you

      I never knew that life was loaded
      I’d only hung around birds and bees
      I never knew that things exploded
      I only found it out when I was down upon my knees
      Looking for my life

      I never got any G.C.E.’s
      I never knew that things exploded
      I only found it out when I was down upon my knees
      Looking for my life, looking for my life
      Looking for my life, looking for my life

    5. Rising Sun

      On the street of villains taken for a ride
      you can have the devil as a guide
      crippled by the boundaries, programmed into guilt
      'til your nervous system starts to tilt.

      And in the room of mirrors you can see for miles
      but everything that's there is in disguise
      every word you've uttered and every thought you've had
      is all inside your file, the good and the bad.

      But in the rising sun you can feel your life begin
      universe at play inside your DNA
      you're a billion years old today
      oh the rising sun and the place it's coming from
      is inside of you and now your payment's overdue
      oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun.

      On the avenue of sinners I have been employed
      working there 'til I was near destroyed
      I was almost a statistic inside a doctor's case
      when I heard the messenger from inner space
      he was sending me a signal that so for long I had
      ignored
      but he held on to my umbilical cord
      until the ghost of memory trapped in my body mind
      came out of hiding to become alive.

      And in the rising sun you can hear your life begin
      and it's here and there nowhere and everywhere
      though it's atmosphere is rare
      oh the rising sun and the place that it's coming from
      is inside of me and now I feel it constantly
      oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun, oh the rising
      sun.

      But in the rising sun you can feel your life begin
      universe at play inside your DNA
      you're a billion years old today
      oh the rising sun and the place it's coming from
      is inside of you and now your payment's overdue
      oh the rising sun, oh the rising sun, oh the rising
      sun.

    7. Stuck Inside A Cloud

      Never slept so little
      Never smoked so much
      Lost my concentration I could
      even lose my touch
      Talking to myself
      Crying out loud
      Only I can hear me
      I'm stuck inside a cloud

      I made some exhibition
      I lost my will to eat
      The only thing that matters to me is to
      touch your lotus feet
      Talking to myself
      Crying out loud

      Only I can hear me
      I'm stuck inside a cloud
      Talking to myself
      Crying out loud
      Only I can hear me
      And i'm stuck inside a cloud

      Talking to myself
      Crying out loud
      Only I can hear me
      I'm stuck inside a cloud

      Never been so crazy
      But I've never felt so sure
      I wish I had the answer to give
      Don't even have the cure

      Just talking to myself crying as we part
      Knowing as you leave me
      I also lose my heart
      Talking to myself crying as we part
      Knowing as you leave me
      I also lose my heart

    8. Run So Far

      You fly out as your smile wears thin
      I sigh knowing the mess you're in
      And you know that you can't get away
      And you know that you can't hide it from yourself
      Lonely days, blue guitar
      There's no escape, can only run so far

      I know something I ought to say
      Stuck here, trying to find a way
      And you know that you can't get away
      And you know that you can't hide it from yourself

      Lonely nights, traveling far
      There's no escape, can only run so far
      Lonesome tears, after dark
      There's no escape, can only run so far

      You fly out as your smile wears thin
      I sigh knowing the mess you're in
      And you know that you can't get away
      And you know that you can't hide it from yourself

      Lonely days, blue guitar
      There's no escape, can only run so far
      Lonely nights, traveling far
      There's no way out, can only run so far
      Lonesome tears, after dark
      There's no escape, can only run so far

    9. Never Get Over You

      I know I'll never get over you
      So deep this feeling I have for you
      Your eyes pierce through my heart
      Your smile tears me apart
      I knew it, it's so true
      I'll never get over you

      You touch me, making my heart race
      So much was written on your face
      I knew when you arrived
      That no words could describe
      What your love made me do
      I'll never get over you

      Girl, you're so much heart and soul
      Girl, was a moonlit night you came into my life
      And now this feeling has grown
      And if you leave me alone I know
      I'll never get over you

      So hide the moments when I feel blue
      You warm the coldest feet
      Can cool me in the heat
      And all though love was new
      I'll never get over you
      My understanding grew
      But I'll never get over, never get over you
      You, you ............

    10. Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea

      I don't want you
      But I hate to lose you
      You got me in between the devil and the
      deep blue sea

      I forgive you
      'Cause I can't forget you
      You've got me in between the devil and the
      deep blue sea

      I want to cross you off my list
      But when you come knocking at my door
      Fate seems to give my heart a twist
      And I come running back for more

      I should hate you
      But I guess I love you
      You've got me in between the devil and the
      deep blue sea

    11. Rocking Chair In Hawaii

      I'm going down to the river gonna take me
      my rocking chair
      Going down to the river gonna take me
      my rocking chair
      And if those blues don't leave me
      Gonna rock on away from here

      If you want me woman please don't act so shy
      If you want me woman please don't pass me by
      I love those sideways glances
      Your shoulder and your thigh

      I see inside your eyes, the Baba's Sai
      The reasons why I love you

      So if you're still busy hiding
      What it is you've got
      If you're frightened of losing
      What you like a lot
      You may be cruisin' backwards
      While thinking that you're not

      I see into your eyes, the Baba Sais
      The reasons why I love you

      So if you don't get the picture
      You won't know what I feel
      If you don't get the picture
      Then you won't have a depth of field
      You may be going someplace
      Someplace you've already been

    12. Brainwashed

      Brainwashed in our childhood
      Brainwashed by the school
      Brainwashed by our teachers
      and brainwashed by their rules

      Brainwashed by our leaders
      By our Kings and Queens
      Brainwashed in the open and brainwashed
      behind the scenes

      God God God
      A voice cried in the wilderness
      God God God
      it was on the longest night
      God God God
      An eternity of darkness
      God God God
      Someone turned out the spiritual light

      Brainwashed by the Nikkei
      Brainwashed by Dow Jones
      Brainwashed by the FTSE
      Nasdaq and secure loans
      Brainwashed us from Brussels
      Brainwashing us in Bonn
      Brainwashing us in Washington
      Westminster in London

      God God God
      You are the wisdom that we seek
      God God God
      The lover that we miss
      God God God
      Your nature is eternity
      God God God
      You are Existance, Knowlwedge, Bliss

      The soul does not love, it is love itself
      It does not exist, It is existence itself
      It does not know, It is knowledge itself
      "How to Know God" Page 130

      They brainwashed my great uncle
      Brainwashed my cousin Bob
      They even got my grandma when she was
      working for the mob
      Brainwash you while you're sleeping
      While you're in a traffic jam
      Brainwash you while you're weeping
      While still a baby in your pram
      Brainwashed by the Military
      Brainwashed under duress
      Brainwashed by the media
      You're brainwashed by the press
      Brainwashed by computer
      Brainwashed by mobile phones
      Brainwashed by the satellite
      Brainwashed to the bone

      God God God
      Won't you lead us through this mess
      God God God
      From the places of concrete
      God God God
      Nothing's worse than ignorance
      God God God
      I just won't accept defeat

      God God God
      Must be something I forgot
      God God God
      Down on Bullshit Avenue
      God God God
      If we can only stop the rot
      God God God
      Wish that you'd brainwash us too
