Drifter 03:36
Call me a drifter I'm always away Away from you I just can't stay Call me a drifter Sing me a song Send me along On my own Call me a drifter Adrift and free Free to be Me! Guess i'll drift on Down to the sea I'm just a drifter Naturally..

Who Am I? 02:37
Now I'm trapped in the middle of a raging sea I find myself independent of another's dream And I'm some other guy Some other guy I never felt that I needed to be anything Except a cog in the gear of the machine Now I'm some other guy Just some other guy Who am I? Who could I be? Just a shadow That you don't see I'm no one You want to be A no one You're over me Control on Just close your eyes And stroll on In your disguise I'm gone Into the nite Into the nite The things she was doing were so puzzling & when I gaze through the waters of her tearful streams I see some other guy Some other guy Who am I? Who could I be? Just a shadow That you don't see I'm no one You want to be A no one You're over me Control on Just close your eyes And stroll on In your disguise I'm gone Into the nite Into the nite Cause I've lost my self Who am I? No home no woman no work in sight Nowhere to go but toward the light To be some other guy Just some other guy Don't ask me why Who am I?

On a hot summer's day From so very far away He could hear her calling him Through the burning breeze Underneath those shading trees Her voice drifted so thin So he ran to her Through the fields of golden wheat Into the city streets He searched high and low But lo and behold He'd been tricked by the city Big city got you spinnin' around Reeling 'til you hit the ground Dying from your every need Starve the hungry to feed the greed Lights will blind 'til you can't see Your choking on the air you breathe Cement walls called industry Destroying lives to live in ecstacy Years passed while he searched town He became depressed and down He missed his home out on the range He packed up his little wares And made his way out there But deep inside he always felt so strange City life had polluted his soul So let his tale be told To stop the madness once and for all We must realize one thing He's just one humman being The greed has befallen us all I know the big city's got you spinnin' around Reeling 'til you hit the ground Dying from your every need Starve the hungry to feed your greed Lights will blind 'til you can't see Your choking on the air you breathe Cement walls called industry Destroy your life to live in ecstacy There's something 'bout the city...

Just Lies 02:51
Work to survive What they provide But when you die They turn thier eyes Don't be surprised When they feed you thier lies They will tell you What not to do But your no fool You won't be used You can't be moved They can't take your tools Gotta run gotta get away! Gotta run gotta get away! They can't stop me I will be free I will plant seeds Where they won't see They can't stop me I will be free I will grow trees Where they won't see! I have to try Just to get by I have to lie Just to get high I don't know why I have to deny I sweat and slave So I'll get paid And I'll behave For a small wage Time it don't wait From the crib to the grave Gotta run gotta get away! Gotta run gotta get away! They can't stop me I will be free I will plant seeds Where they won't see They can't stop me I will be free I will grow trees Where they won't see...

Desire 03:01
Desires can come true Desires I want you Desires I see through Desire! He said: "Come on now and say you miss me Come on now and call my name Go on and deny you want me When you feel me in the rain!" They don't have a problem She can't help it if she loves him It's a game they choose to play You won't ever stop them He will show up in the evening And leave by the break of day! Desires can come true Desires I want you Desires I see through Desire! She said: "Sneak up baby to my window Serenade me in my bed Take me on a midnite journey To the places in your head!" They don't have a problem She can't help it if she loves him It's a game they choose to play You won't ever stop them He will show up in the evening And leave by the break of day! I say: "Morning sunlight on my face Twilight's covered our embrace Tell me baby why we're running From a fate we can't escape!" Desires can come true Desires I want you Desires I see through Desire!

Control 04:41
Possesive just don't work for me Gotta be loose gotta be free We can all play happily But if you lose control Said if you lose control Maybe then you'll see! You ain't what you choose to be You don't trust no body Want nobody Need no body Around your being All you want are useless things Baby! Thats a dead end scene! Agressive just don't work for me The policy is let it be If its locked then find the key But if you lose control Said if you lose control Better change your strategy! You ain't what you choose to be You don't trust no body Want nobody Need no body Around your being All you want are useless things Baby! Thats a dead end scene! Suggestive just don't work for me Just can't get down on my knees Just can't live a fantasy But if you lose control Said if you lose control Maybe then you'll see! You ain't what you choose to be You don't trust no body Want nobody Need no body Around your being All you want are useless things Baby! Thats a dead end scene!

Kali-Soul 04:07
Just want to be a Kalifornia soul Lay on beach soak the summer's gold Just want to swim in an indigo sea Yea, Kalifornia is where to be Just want to be a Kalifornia soul Talking about some Kali rock n roll Balm breezes and swaying palm trees Kalifornia is just for me Foam green convertible On the highway coasting slow Nothing on my mind Just spending time Not trying to find the one Souls prosper left alone With each passing day I'll find my way In search of sunny rays No work just steady play The path's already paved And one foot's in the grave So I make peace and break the bread My old ideals are dead Brake lights are burning red The oceans straight ahead! Just want to be a Kalifornia soul Lay on beach soak the summer's gold Just want to swim in an indigo sea Yea Kalifornia is where to be Just want to be a Kalifornia soul Talking about some Kali rock n roll Balm breezes and swaying palm trees Kalifornia is just for me Hugging the center lines Just lovers intertwined The futur looks so clear There's music in my ears On dark and dusty roads Be sure I'll travel on A shadow in the night Prophet of the sun Strolling the boulevards Of rain drenched Hollywood A flood of simple pictures Painted where I've stood Now that I'm twenty one It came clear into my head Those wise and simple words That she once said! Just want to be a Kalifornia soul Lay on beach soak the summer's gold Just want to swim in an indigo sea Yea Kalifornia is where to be Just want to be a Kalifornia soul Talking about some Kali rock n roll Balm breezes and swaying palm trees Yes Kalifornia is just for me and you!

You gotta know how to talk to people You gotta know how to talk to people You gotta know how to put them in thier place You gotta know how to run the human race! Some people talk when thier mouths aren't open Some get surprised when thier will gets broken They want to run with the truth unspoken They want to hide from thier true emotions Some like to smile when you're looking at them And when you turn they will stick the knife in And thier are those with a valid reason To kill your hopes and avert your treason! You gotta know how to talk to people You gotta know how to talk to people You gotta know how to put them in thier place You gotta know how to run the human race! There are those who we give the power And with our wealth they're allowed to flower They take thier place in the highest tower And watch the world as it gets devoured And all the time while the plot is hatching We're occupied trying to reel our catch in We miss the chance to resolve the problems But there are those that we're never solving! You gotta know how to talk to people You gotta know how to talk to people You gotta know how to put them in thier place You gotta know how to run the human race! When the time for words comes Let your qualms not go unsung Let your heart take the stage Usher in a whole new age! Some seem to think that the world is spinning But me I know that the air is thinning I see our lives as we know them ending A brand new shimmering beginning You gotta know how to walk with people Align your eyes so that you are equals Let them know how you're really feeling Or spend your life at thier feet kneeling! So when the time for words comes Let your qualms not go unsung Let your heart take the stage Usher in a whole new age!
