Welcome to the end of the world
We had a good run
It was so much fun
Come and say goodbye to the sun
The moon and the stars
Goodnight everyone
I can still remember
The first time i saw your face
It was like lightning struck my eyes
Now many years later
Our love is greater
We made it thru the lows and the highs
How could we know what was coming around the bend
How could we know that this could be the end
What can I tell you? Baby, I don't know
If the sun will rise again
We always thought
We'd grow old and gray
Hand in hand together
Now time has stopped
Our luck has gone away
Looks like stormy weather
How could we know what was coming around the bend
How could we know that this could be the end
What can I tell you? Baby, I don't know
If the sun will rise again
CHORUS
My world is turned upside down
I'm reaching up to hold my ground
Don't let go, won't let you slip away from me
We'll be, we'll be eternally....free

Halcyon Days Part I
04:03
|
|||
|
Summertime, drinking wine and feeling fine
Let's celebrate together
Sunny day we can play
and under the starts we'll lay
Gazing at the heavens
That's right
Let's come together
for Halcyon Days
We'll have a good time
In Halcyon Days
Losing time, walking the line
I saw a sign
Above the 7-11
Funny way you could say
The eyes are the only way
Guided by a vision
Allright,
Let's come together
For Halcyon Days
We'll have a good time
In Halcyon Days
I love the sands
Of distant lands can you understand
Euphoric feelings
We are braves crashing the waves
No more living like slaves
Treasuring our freedom
Come on,
Let's come together
For Halcyon Days
We'll have a good time
Yeah, let's come together
Oh, let's stay together
For Halcyon Days
We'll have a good time

Essence of You
05:09
|
|||
|
Something so smooth 'bout the way you move
Something 'bout your rhythm makes me groove
Something 'bout your smile just drives me wild
Everything about you got so much style
You're so fine I've got to kiss you twice
Like sugar and spice with everything nice
You are my drug and I am a junkie
Cause you can make me calm
Or crazy like a monkey
I'd like to be your king but I am just a pauper
I don't have a yacht, a mansion or a chopper
All I can give you is respect and love
These are the things I have plenty of
I love the essence, the essence of you, my love
I love the essence, the essence of you
You're like a good book I just can't put down
A history, a mystery that keeps me spellbound
Things that you do and things that you say
Excite my nights and fulfill my days
Like a ray of sunshine dancing on a lake
Like a starlit dream, though I'm still awake
Like the sweetest fruit on the tip of my tongue
You're the greatest opera that's yet to be sung
I'd spoil you rotten if I had the chance
With slow dance and romance in the south of France
But all I can give you is respect and love
These are the things I have plenty of
I love the essence, the essence of you, my love
I love the essence, the essence of you
All I can give you is respect and love
These are the things I have plenty of
I love the essence, the essence of you

Skeleton
04:17
|

|
I'm just a skeleton trying to keep myself together
I'm just a skeleton trying to get my head on straight
I'm like the tin man trying to find myself some heart
I'm such a thin man, 'cause I keep tearing me apart
How can you see right thru me?
Am I so empty inside?
How can you see right thru me with blind eyes?
I'm like a wingless bird trying to get myself off the ground
I'm like a silent word that's just dying to be heard
How can you see right thru me?
Am I so empty inside?
How can you see right thru me with blind eyes?
I'm just a skeleton
Somebody put me together
How can you see right thru me?
How can you see right thru me?
Am I so empty inside?
Am I empty inside?
How can you see right thru me?
How can you see? How can you see?
Am I so empty inside?
I'm like the tin man looking for a heart
How can you see right thru me with blind eyes?

Ain't No Cure For You
02:54
|
|||
|
I want to meet you outside your front door
I want to take you for a ride to the liqour store
My intentions are pure
But there ain't no cure for you babe
I want to sing you a song in the pale moonlight
I want to rock you all night long, that's right
I don't know for sure
But there ain't no cure for you babe
So far it's been all near misses
I pray that soon I'll feel your kisses
Just give me a sign and I'll be true
Girl you know that I've been waiting
Eagerly anticipating
That first loving touch from you
I want to take you on a cruise
The river Nile
I want to buy you new shoes
Italian style
Forgive my overture
But there ain't no cure for you babe
So far it's been all near misses
I pray that soon I'll feel your kisses
Just give me a sign and I'll be true
I want to meet you outside your front door
I want to take you for a ride to the liqour store
My intentions are pure
But there ain't no cure for you babe
I want to sing you a song in the pale moonlight
I want to rock you all night long, that's right
I don't know for sure
But there ain't no cure for you babe

Underwater
04:10
|

|
Your nebulosity confounds me
Your grandiosity surrounds me
You took me like a tsunami
I'm sinking deeper deeper deeper
Which way is up when your weightless
You know there's no light at the bottom of the sea
Creatures of the deep in my backyard
Waiting to analyze me
I'm underwater, underwater
You've got me held underwater
When it's sink or swim
Feels like I'm wearing lead boots
I'm underwater
Lost in the shadow of the manta ray
20,000 leagues of gravity
I'm only speaking in bubbles
It's getting darker darker darker
Sometimes I think I remember the sun
Other times you're the only one
But when I breathe your water into my lungs
I get the feeling that I'm trapped
Underwater, underwater
You've got me held underwater
When it's sink or swim
Feels like I'm wearing lead boots
I'm underwater

Appaloosa
05:14

Have you seen my Appaloosa?
You know I'd really, really hate to lose her
I'm going all the way to Tuscaloosa
Have you seen my Appaloosa?
Riding on my horse thru a desert with no name
A-driftin' on an ocean of sky
Thinking 'bout my lady and how she drives me crazy
Missing her sweet voice my oh my
Have you seen my Appaloosa?
You know I'd really, really hate to lose her
I'm going all the way to Tuscaloosa
Have you seen my Appaloosa?
Up come a thunderstorm with wind but no rain
That horse she flashed a look so dire
Up came a clap of thunder
She tore her lead asunder
She ran just like her tail was on fire
Have you seen my Appaloosa?
You know I'd really, really hate to lose her
I'm going all the way to Tuscaloosa
Have you seen my Appaloosa?
And the sun went down
And the clouds rolled in
He wondered if ever
He'd see her again
Have you seen my Appaloosa?
You know I'd really, really hate to lose her
I'm going all the way to Tuscaloosa city
Just to see my baby sitting there so pretty
And the hour grew late
And the light grew dim
And this sad, sad story
Would come to an end

Hanging Out
03:19
|

|
I got a big black Cadillac rolling down the street
Puts a smile on the face of everyone I meet
Gotta move slow when life's too fast
Looking in the mirror to see my past
I said I'd pick you up about quarter to 8
Who am I kidding you know I'm always late
It's alright with you cause you know my style
You don't mind to wait for a while
Cause I like hanging out, hanging out with you
I'm breaking out, making out with you
I'm shaking out the cobwebs from the night before
When I was hanging out with you
Later in the evening can't wait to see you face
Take you out to dinner then back to my place
Please my lady don't want to seem impolite
But would you like to stay for the night
Cause I like hanging out, hanging out with you
I'm breaking out, making out with you
I'm shaking out the cobwebs from the night before
When I was hanging out with you
I don't get up too early in the morning
I know you got work but I gave fair warning
Always keep you up past midnight
With a glass of wine to make you feel alright
Cause I like hanging out, hanging out with you
I'm breaking out, making out with you
I'm shaking out the cobwebs from the night before
When I was hanging out with you

Shadow of Giants
04:42
|

|
In the shadow of giants
I feel so small
In the shadow of giants
I'm a mosquito
Praying that none will stomp me
Cause to them I'm just a little flea, yeah
In the shadow of giants
I am running
In the shadow of giants
The sun shines cold
Tiptoeing softly to not arouse suspicion
Til I wake you by my decision
For with mine sword I'll prick your toe
Cause discomfort, pain and woe
O mighty giant hear my call
For one day shall be me who's towering tall
In the shadow of giants
my light's a firefly
In the shadow of giants
I strive to shine
I see your gleaming eggs of gold
They'll shine forever while you grow old
For with mine sword I'll prick your toe
Cause discomfort, pain and woe
O mighty giant hear my call
For one day shall be me who's towering tall
In the shadow of giants
My shout is a whisper
In the shadow of giants
I'm still bold
I'll slip right thru your fingers
See you fade while my soul lingers
For with mine sword I'll prick your toe
Cause discomfort, pain and woe
O mighty giant hear my call
For one day shall be me
You can't stop me now
You won't stop me now, no
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
O mighty giant hear my call
I'm towering tall

Barefoot
02:51
|
|||
|
It's six o'clock
Time for a date
I'm running late
Wouldn't you know
My car broke down
Just wouldn't start
We're far apart
Buses, taxis and the trains
Are all on strike today
Looks like its going to rain
But there's no other way
Why I must I can't explain
All I can really say is
One way or the other I will make it back to you
I lost my shoe
Down in the park
Now its too dark
To find it
So I'm barefoot
Walking the ground
All the way downtown
Buses, taxis and the trains
Are all on strike today
Looks like its going to rain
But there's no other way
Why I must I can't explain
All I can really say is
One way or the other I will make it back to you
Soon I'll be there to meet you
Barefoot and ordinary
Not the way I want to meet you
Not too extraordinary
Hope you're not too disappointed
Today just hasn't been my day
Can't wait to see your smile
And all the pain will wash away

Mr. Brown
03:54

Mr. Brown has been sighted alive and well
A little south of the border
This one goes out to my boy Nicky
down in Brazil
Let me tell you 'bout a man
From a distant land
'Bout six foot one with a hell of a tan
He puts the bomb in the bamba
Likes to dance samba, venom in his veins cause his daddy's black mamba
He's got a lion's mane and a scorpion tail
He's got a cute girlfriend but she's in jail
He had the jungle fever with a
lady dreamweaver
A true believer in the canabasatiba
Mr. Brown yes he's always getting down
Mr. Brown where'd you get that funky sound (2x)
We gonna celebrate
Come say hello to Mr. Brown
We gonna party til the break of dawn
When carnival is in your town
Mr. Brown is my brother
yeah I know him well
Cause we stuck it out together
Thru heaven and hell
We've seen the hi to the lo, the lo to the hi
and we won't stop til we touch the sky
He writes rhymes so sweet
Make your grandma cry
With a funky-ass beat like rastafar-I
Skill beyond measure he's a rare pleasure
In a country full of gems he's a national treasure
Tudo bêm, tudo bom, beleza
Take me back To Rio de Janeiro
