heavy, heavy head’s on steady
Eddie better check and see
ready, get it, set, go Betty
Betty better let him be
one shot, she got nothin goin
goin’ on somethin’ sweet
he ain’t heard of travelin’ word and
now he got the heat
I’ll tell you somethin' that I bet you don’t understand
the world’s got nothin' owed to you, step inside the…
mumbo jumbo pants on fire
liar just grow the nose
some will stumble with desire
prickin’ that bloody rose
itty bitty apple city
nitty gritty take some tea
never gonna find that
nine headed lyin’ cat
scratchin’ up on my tree
step inside the sunlight and see where it’s goin'
let it take you out for a stroll
never trust that moon, always shrinkin' and growin'
knowing that you got no control
just let it roll away
nothing to do or to say
so long so long
nothing so right or so wrong

Take It Slow

oh what a perfect child
oh what a brilliant smile
they used to say (they used to say)
then it flickered out
and you began to doubt
that you could light the way
steadfast motivation
and some sinful indignation
switchin' off and on (off and on)
all while you think about
try and figure out
where all the time has gone (seems it's still goin' on)
you better take it easy
yes you better just relax and take it slow
you better take it easy or you'll
take it where you do not wanna go
sleeping through the mornings
then you wake up in the afternoon
a job to do (a job to do)
you'll give it all to them
I hope they're happy then
‘cause there's none left for you
scraping from the bottom
but you're trying oh so hard
to get on top of things (get the drop on things)
but those problems never end
they seem to stretch and bend
with each new day life brings
you better take it easy
yes you better just relax and take it slow
you better take it easy or you'll
take it where you do not wanna go
pressure, problems
ease up, solve ‘em
simple, logical
way to go, way to go
I feel (pressure)
I've got (problems)
I used to (ease up)
used to (solve ‘em)
It seemed (simple)
So (logical)
Now I never see the (way to go, way to go)

On The Run (Demo Mix)

I’m on the run
oh no I can't stop movin’
never done
it never stops
on the run
I find the madness soothing
never done
I never stop
I will not deceive you this time
I'm about to leave you alone
‘cause I do not believe your lies
and I can't take it no more
I was looping around
on a dead end street
not sure what I had found
but I was sure I had to leave, yea
I'm on the run
oh no I can't stop movin’
never done
it never stops
on the run
I find the madness soothing
never done
I never stop
I'll never trust somebody again
everything they say is a lie
I don't need no stupid friends
to make me feel that I am alive
I don't care what people say
they don't know the truth about me
I'll live to see another day
live to know that I am free
you think I'm running scared
you think I'm running blind
but I am running for something
and I don't look behind, no
bleed a little thicker when you ride alone

Gogo Mr. Dodo

once there was a simpler time
when he had his own little island
had it all to himself
never knew it could all go away
but he'll soon learn that nothing is here to stay
yes it all goes away
oh no the poor little soul
won't make it too long
his world is not so big
and he is not so strong
dodo, the poor little soul
where did he go so wrong?
guess he couldn't keep to himself
when the men came along
no! dodo, dodo, dodo
Oh no! dodo, dodo, dodo
hey hey, chop chop, dodo
hurry up or get the boot
nice nice, one big no no in 1662
went down east of Africa
not so much that he could do
go, go Mr. Dodo bird
bye bye finally fly the coup
koo-koo, koo-koo
hated being stuck down on the ground
had to duck and to quietly creep around
don't make a sound
maybe he just got fed up and tired
dreading moments of screaming and guns being fired
he was fed up and tired, yea
oh no the poor little soul
won’t make it too long
his world is not so big
and he is not so strong
dodo, the poor little soul
where did he go so wrong?
guess he couldn’t keep to himself
when the men came along
no! dodo, dodo, dodo
Oh no! dodo, dodo, dodo
Oh no! dodo, dodo, dodo
Oh no! dodo, dodo, dodo
hey hey, chop chop, dodo
hurry up or get the boot
nice nice, one big no no in 1662
went down east of Africa
not so much that he could do
go, go Mr. Dodo bird
bye bye finally fly the coup
koo-koo, koo-koo
gogo, dodo, gogo, yea
gogo, dodo, gogo, yea
