Make my way to Emerald Station
There I’ll find some peace of mind
A little peace of mind
And make my way to Emerald Station
There I’ll find a man that’s blind
So I can plead
Tell me, please
What do I want to find?
What do I want to find
But a little peace of mind
Talk to me
At Emerald Station
Somewhere in the Guyamar
Just find your way to Grand Station
‘Cuz Baytu is not that far
But if you look
Inside the rook,
Well, it could leave a scar
Gonna make it double hard
Just to see right through the stars
Find my way
To King Buford
Maybe he is watching me
But that’s okay
Cuz King Buford
Doesn’t have too long with me
Cuz once I’m there
I don’t care
He is gonna see
He's gonna make believe
That he ain’t watching me
Walked away from Emerald Station
There I found some peace of mind
A little peace of mind

Pipe Dream

Keep it loose
Hold your fire
Can’t you just hold on?
I’m so tired
I’m awake
But I’m not standing
My mistake
I was rambling
Oh, whatcha gonna do now?
I’ve gotten under your skin now
Takes a lot of heart to keep you away
And oh, what could it be, now?
You’ve got your heart on your sleeve now
There’s got to be some better days
Keep it high
Never come down
Maybe it’s a pipe dream
Guess we’ll find out
Turn it loose
In my head
Guess I’m gonna try now
To make some bread
Oh, whatcha gonna do now?
I’ve gotten under your skin now
Takes a lot of heart to keep you away
And oh, what did you think, now?
You’ve got your heart on your sleeve now
There’s gonna be some better days

Occupy
03:51
|

You've been sitting on the side of my mind
And I've been thinking all this time
How to occupy the side of your mind
When I'm just not sitting there this time
Cuz there's a new frontier behind it
And I can't deny it
But you've got me hiding away
And there's some truth inside it
And you can't deny it
That now you're finally seeing things my way
And you can say it's all behind you
But I can see it all inside you
Just let it out and you're okay
What'd I say?
I can see your grit and I like it
And I want to try it
But I'm not so good at finding my face
So I hope that you can find it
Cuz I can't deny it
That you've just got me feeling some ol' way
And I can say it's not about you
But I can see it all around you
Nobody said you had to stay
But what'd I say?
You've been sitting on the side of my mind
And I've been thinking all this time
How to occupy the side of your mind
When I'm just not sitting there this time
Yeah
There's a hole in the holy story
And it always tore me
That everybody seems to put their faith
In a made up man of glory
A depository
Where nobody gets to choose their fate
Anyway
You've been sitting on the side of my mind
And I've been thinking all this time
How to occupy the side of your mind
When I'm just not sitting there this time
Yeah

Sitting in a vat of liquor
Hoping that it comes on quicker
Wish it would just go to my head
Nothings going right
I see no end in sight
I just wanna run away
And I wish I could tell myself that I will find my way
I wish I could will it away, will it far away
I wish I could will it away, will it all way
Nananana...
I wish I could tell myself that I will find my way
I wish I could will it away, will it all away
I wish I could will it away, will it all away
And they’re like
Do do do do do do do do
And I’m like
You don’t know what it’s like, living half alive
And if you did you would run
Nanananana...
And I wish I could tell myself, that I will find my way
I wish I could will this away
Will it all away
I wish I could will this away
Will it alllll...

Seeing Green
08:02
|
|||
|
What did you find there
You can’t see a single green
Nowhere
And you're losing your hair
But you don’t have a way to fight it
And you don’t have to recognize it
Cuz I know where to find it
Take a look in my direction
Tell me what you see
Cuz I’ll know I’m on the right track when I’m seeing green
I’ve been having such a hard time
I’ve been trying to breathe
But I’ll know I’m on the right track when I’m seeing green
Where did the time go?
One of me, leaving three alone
But I don’t miss my home
Cuz I’ve already found my meaning
And I don’t find the past endearing
Interested in feeling
Take a look in my direction
Tell me what you see
Cuz I’ll know I’m on the right track when I’m seeing green
I’ve been having such a hard time
I’ve been trying to breathe
But I’ll know I’m on the right track when I’m seeing green
The greatest story ever heard
But you won’t hear a single word
Is there something in the way?
Or am I turning green and finally seeing things your way
Money ain’t what I have seen
Satisfied by different means
Being green inside my soul
Catapults my message to the land where I shall grow
Take a look in my direction
Tell me what you see
Cuz I’ll know I’m on the right track when I’m seeing green
I’ve been having such a hard time
I’ve been trying to breathe
But I’ll know I’m on the right track when I’m seeing green
I’ll know I’m on the right track when I’m seeing green
Yes I know I’m on the right track, cuz I’m seeing green

Brock Sonic

Don't know what to tell you
Don't know what to say
You never seemed to listen anyway
You never looked my way
I'll never get my way
You never stop
No, you'll never stop and think
You never call my number
You never call my name
You never seem to see things eye to eye
All you do is complain
All I do is remain
I'll never stop
No, I'll never stop this train
I stopped asking
Now I'm looking for the answers that are in the air
I couldn't find 'em
Now I'm looking at the ground
Yeah, I'm in despair
Don't wanna do anything other than pushing and shoving
I'm tryna be loving
But all I'm gettin' are a handful of problems
And I'm done trying to solve 'em
I just wanna rock, I wanna roll
And I'm not trying to be insensitive
But I'm just trying to make some sense of this
And the chains that I got ain't worth a lot to me
I never seemed to notice
When I made mistakes
You always seemed to notice
And throw 'em in my face
(Brock Sonic!)
So I need my space
(Brock Sonic!)
Oh I sigh, flight over fight today
I stopped lying
Now I'm moving to the place that'll get me high
Time to shake off the skin that has held me so down inside
So far from the old syndication
I'll follow these tracks to the Emerald Station
And here you tell me that I am the problem
Well I'm done trying to solve ya
I just wanna rock, I wanna roll
Brock Sonic!
Brock Sonic!
Brock Sonic!
You're driving me Brock-Brock Sonic away
I'm riding on a supersonic railway
I'm driving you Brock-Brock Sonic away
Emotional locomotive parley
We're riding this Brock-Brock Sonic
Shining like a rocket
Emerald's right around the bend
Don't try to bring me down
I still see nothing
Someone has stolen my eyes
Still I can see you my friend

Trippin' on Love
05:23
|
|||
|
I spend too much time alone
But I love it so
And I've been trying to atone
For this truth I know
Maybe I could shed my plans
And fall into a holy land
Head into the promised land with me
Cuz I’m trippin’ on love
I gotta get clean
I’m stuck in this dream
But I’m trippin’ on you
And I’m singin’ your blues
So get stuck in this groove
I've been shooting in the rough
Puttin' my stuff to stuff
So now I’m filling up my cup
“I think you’ve had enough”
Wait!
Who's that living in my head?
Tell me what you said
Maybe I should ride away instead
Full steam ahead
And maybe I could shed my skin
Cuz I don't know the shape I'm in
Lately I've been feeling paper thin
Cuz I’m trippin’ on love
I gotta get clean
I’m stuck in this dream
But I’m trippin’ on you
And I’m singin’ your blues
So get stuck in this groove

Walkin' Song
08:17
|

|
When you hear me walkin’
Open your door
My boots are talkin’
Cry out for more
But I got you stocking
Your shelves before
My boots come walkin’
Right through that door
If what you need is another sign
Then maybe you’re pickin’ in the wrong mine, it’s true, yeah
Let’s do this another time
I got walkin’ on my mind
This train is movin’
Right down the tracks
We’re ridin’ steady
But I can’t relax
I’m knotting laces
And I’ll wear my hat
Cuz I’m goin’ walkin’
And that is that
If what you hear is another groove
Then maybe you’re wearing my pair of shoes, on you there
Let’s do this another time
Cuz I’ve got walkin’ on my mind
Free has no shelter
Rock has no home
Express your feelings
Next time I see you
Stop in my tracks
Home has arrived here
And time has passed
Time has passed
(Take 'em for a walk, Jack)
When you hear me walkin’
Open your door
My boots are talkin’
Cry out for more
But I got you stocking
Your shelves before
My boots come walkin’
Right through that door
If what you need is another high
Then maybe you’re waiting for the sun to shine on you, there
Let’s do this another time
Cuz I’ve got walkin’ on my mind

The Ladder
06:02
|
|||
|
I am rocking myself to sleep
I am holding myself too steep
I guess I am held to a different kind of standard
But I promise you I won’t lose myself in this manner
But I promise you I’m doing fine
And I promise you I’ll do my time
Cause I’m going up, going down, going up, the ladder
Eyes watching your every move
Pace all your steps, be sure you don’t lose the groove
I always try, to put everything into perspective
You did the crime but lord did learn the lesson
Cause I promise you I’m doing fine
And I promise you I’ll do my time
Cause I’m going up, going down, going up the ladder
Cause I promise you I’m doing fine
And I promise you I’ll do my time
Cause I’m going up, going down, going up, going down, going up, going down, going up
