Recognize Me 03:55
Oh, recognize me Oh, recognize me We've been here before And we will be here more And when I say "we" I mean you, you, you, you It's your personality You know, mathematically The numbers come up inevitably This is true, true, true I look down to see you I look up to see me And it goes on endlessly This is true, true, true, true You're not alone You're not alone You're not alone How could you be? You're not alone You're not alone You're not alone Recognize me You are another me I'm another you Are another me I'm another you Are another me I'm another you Are another me, another me, another me, another you Oh, recognize me Oh, recognize me Oh, recognize me Oh, recognize me

Moon Rules 04:59
When you go to the moon, you must abide by the rules When you go to the moon, you must abide by the rules The Moon Lords have decreed in a lengthy legal screed That all must follow their rules So when you go to the moon, you must abide by the rules And here they are: Upon landing on the moon, please be sure to don Your special moon suit and your special moon boots Then form a single-file line for questioning Moon rocks are for looking at and not for taking (please leave the moon as you found it) Don't eat any space cheese (it's not actually cheese) A special two-person space suit is available for sexual encounters (if you're into that) And sometimes, murder is O.K.! The gravity is lower, but the stakes are higher on the moon Everything you do is recorded in the dust on the surface of the moon When you go to the moon, you must abide by the rules And everyone must dance, everyone must dance, everyone must dance On the moon, one plus one is eleven (it just is) And all keyboards must be played with your elbows Displays of emotion must be limited to two options: giddy anticipation and schadenfreude And most importantly of all: SNEEZING IS FORBIDDEN (think about it) The gravity is lower, but the stakes are higher on the moon Everything you do is recorded in the dust on the surface of the moon They're watching, they're watching, they're watching, they're watching Everything you do So you'd better shape up, or you may end up On the dark side, singing a mournful tune

There's something weird about you You really don't seem that different, but you are You've got a sneaky secret gift And when you smile, things start to shift And the world gets beautiful Do you see something no one else can see? A better world, a sweeter and a happier place? And am I there? Do you see me? And what are those things on your face? Some kind of spectacles? Love colored glasses Love colored glasses You see the world You see the world Through love colored glasses And it looks so sweet There's something good that you see And it seems like I'm starting to see it too I hope I see it more and more I want to see the world through Through a pair like yours Love colored glasses Love colored glasses You see the world You see the world Through love colored glasses And it looks so sweet When you're lookin' to the left And you're lookin' to the right When you're lookin' to the left And you're lookin' to the right And the world is sweet, sweet as molasses When you look at the world through love colored glasses When you're lookin' to the left And you're lookin' to the right Love colored glasses Love colored glasses You see the world You see the world Through love colored glasses And it looks so sweet

Walkabout 03:45
Some people like to drive around I like my feet on solid ground Some people like to ride their bike I don't like to risk my life Some people like to ride the bus Well, good for them, but I don't like to 'Cause I like to see the trees and the sky I'm an outside kind of guy I'm on a walkabout Don't skimp on the shoes, get a damn good hat Ain't much more you need besides that Maybe some water, maybe a snack If that's your style, your gonna need a backpack I amble, I ramble, sometimes I scramble Through the streets and hills and even the bramble No obstacle can block my path I avoid them all with my geo-math! I'm on a walkabout I don't need to shout There's no earthly doubt I am all about The damn walkabout Ambling over the rough hot ground Just rambling with my arms outstretched Meandering in a blissful state With a measured gait I promenade to my place on the east side One step then the other is my free ride The stones in my path, I take them in stride I put the beauty on the outside inside Some people say that this town is too hot To walk around, but I think it's not Too hot, I mean, to walk around My feet have no beef with the heat in this town

I guess I I guess I just don't know The light comes in and I guess I just don't know I see it, I feel it I see it, I feel it I don't know why I'm crying Coming over the hill You feel the air Something familiar is there Familiar I don't know why I'm crying Coming over the hill It's all okay Each and every mistake A token of love A piece of the day It's a wonderful life It's a wonderful day It's whispering to me I don't know why I'm crying Coming over the hill You feel the air Something familiar is there Familiar is there I don't know why I'm crying

I'm good at feeling I'm good at feeling I'm good at feeling things The trigger might be nothing But the feels come gushing And I'm carried far out to sea Far from the... Oh, la la la la It's a good, good thing Oh, la la la la It gives me something to jot down It gives me something to sing I wrote a poem in the second A poem in the second A poem in the second grade Despite its fineness I got a B minus It was then I knew the world Was a shameful and degraded... Oh, la la la la It hurt me very much Oh, la la la la 'Cause in my heart I was for sure I had deserved a B plus The secret of The secret of The secret of success, oh yes The secret of The secret of The secret of success I'm good at talk I'm good at talking I'm good at talking to me I'm my own companion No matter where I am I have a cacophony Of many voices... Oh, la la la la You love it too, I know Oh, la la la la It's fascinating and amazing But where did you go? Hello? Where did you go? Come back!

Look out, you're heart's racing No doubt it's dreams you're chasing Can't weave all the pieces Into magic golden fleeces Hung to dry without quarter The thirsty man must have water The story's told, but seldom heard And some declare it's random words You cannot see the trees for staring at the branches You cannot see the forest when you focus on the trees You sing the songs that you wrote when no one's there No one hears your pleas for love and togetherness now The place where you land Doesn't have to become The place where you stand Open your hand Woman or man You are the one you're looking for Look out, you're heart's racing No doubt it's dreams you're chasing Can't weave all the pieces Into magic golden fleeces Hung to dry without quarter The thirsty man must have water The story's told, but seldom heard And some declare it's random words I'm staking a claim for hope and tranquility Will you stand with me? I'm climbing a mountain I passed by before And I feel no shame The way through is blocked for us up ahead We will have to use a divining tool The place where you land Doesn't have to become The place where you stand Open your hand Woman or man You are the one you're looking for

The Business 04:42
When things are starting to gel When things are coming along You might start ringing a bell You might start singing a song You may just start to feel high It seems so easy to get But if you look to the sky You might just miss your next step I don't know how much you know About this business All I know is, before too long You get the business Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh La-a-a-a-a Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh La-a-a-a-a So then you're rushing around You're making call after call You're trying to line up your ducks You're trying to do it all Then there's that thing you forgot That thing you failed to arrange That fish that's never been caught That note that's out of your range Sometimes all this hard work Just seems like busy-ness Instead of making progress We're creating dizziness Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh La-a-a-a-a Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh La-a-a-a-a Business, oh-oh-oh You're giving me the business

You Said Yes 05:19
I had to wait so many years I had to shed so many tears I finally lost, I lost all hope But then you chose to appear It shouldn't be such a thing I shouldn't always be wondering About the love that you made mine But I think about it all the time I have it here on my phone I play it when I'm alone A video of your face You look at me and you say "yes" In the next room, I hear you sing I wouldn't change a thing in our lives You said yes, it's too late to change your mind You said yes, now I'm yours, you're mine I wish everyone in the whole wide world Could feel how I feel tonight

Cooking and cleaning and thinking and sleeping and shopping and paying and mopping and scrubbing And driving and stopping and driving and stopping and driving and stopping and driving and stopping Learning and scheming and caring and dreaming and smiling and joking and chilling and eating And going and coming and going and coming and going and coming and going and coming We do it We did it We feel it And babe, it's you and me The thing is It's different I see it now, life can be so sweet Laughing and loving and helping and hugging and playing and singing and kissing and cuddling And loving and loving and loving and loving and loving and loving and loving and loving We do it We did it We feel it And babe, it's you and me The thing is It's different I see it now, life can be so sweet We do it We did it We feel it And babe, it's you and me The good things The bad things It's all okay when you're next to me

There must be some animal in me That makes this feeling A tyrannosaurus rex Or sabre-tooth tiger It makes me want to tear It makes me want to bite I'm trying to resist these urges Every single second Kill...kill...kill Sitting at the workstation It's nagging, nagging Who deserves to die right now? It's nagging, nagging, nagging Who do I want to kill? Who don't I want to kill? It would be kind of nice If I could be 1% human Don't kill, don't kill, don't kill, don't kill Don't kill, don't kill, don't kill, don't kill Ahh...this is good Ahh...this is nice Ahh...it's gonna be all right Ahh... you don't have to kill Try not to That's the definition Try not to That's the definition Try not to That's the definition Try not to That's the definition At least there's something here That makes some sense At least there's something here That makes some sense Love is born again Again and again It's just as much a part of the picture As anything else
