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

Love Colored Glasses
03:22
|
|||
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

Secret of Success
03:42
|
|||
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

It's You and Me
05:09

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

Please Don't Kill
04:50
|
|||
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
