02. Simple Creed
born with your back to the god

la da da da da da da, to each his own, but
i wait for you to take my hand
cuz we need each other
we gotta love each other
born with your back to the god
that picked you up by your puppy scruff
angry at who? me? you better back up fool
and be grateful that the real me's always hidin' from you
now, nobody's takin your bicycle
maybe somebody should take your microphone
la da da da da da da, to each his own, but

that we need each other

this simple creed of love is all i follow
03. Deep Enough
we hit the room, me and my crew
and it was cool, until we bumped into you
now it's been years, but there you were
like a mustang, redlinin' every single gear
with a man that danced like he was born
in '49, but lost his groove back when jesus died
i wanna know, are those replacement hips?
is that a swatch watch? do you know what time it is?
does he run it deep enough
to take you there?
does he run it deep enough
oh tell me baby
does he run it deep enough?
tell me, tell me
does he run it deep enough?
does he run it deep enough for you?
we hit a couch, the place was packed
with sweaty palms, sweaty thongs, and sweaty backs
my mouth was dry, my brain cold high, the groove was right, so i decided to ignite
your eyes met mine, you skirt began to rise, and so did i
now you know that i took that prize
in the middle of the club, in the middle of the club, in the middle of club
now tell me!
does he run it deep enough
to take you there?
does he run it deep enough
oh tell me baby
does he run it deep enough?
tell me baby
what did i do? what did i say?
that gave you away
tell me what didn't i do, what didn't i say
that sent you away from me
does he run it deep enough
to take you there?
does he run it deep enough
oh tell me baby
does he run it deep enough
oh tell me, tell me
i'm just a jealous guy, i'm just a jealous guy, come on!
04. Like a Soldier
i just come down from the mountain
a happy man
turned on the television, should of chewed off my hand
i'm sick of all the false glory
"in god we trust"
show me one dollar bill that hasn't passed through the cuss
dand if you break my will i will
come back again to destroy everything you stood for
oh!
i will go on
like a soldier
through the storms of love
and i
take you back, take you away from here
my friend
and charge you up again
we just come down from the mountain
where the breezes were blowin
and everything was growin
like some tree in the bush
still i gotta live my life here
with some pretty scary bretheren
but now i'm a rebel on a mission baby
to live and die by my smile
and if you break my will i will
come back again
to destroy everything you stood for
oh yeah!
i will go on
like a soldier
through the storms of love
and i
take you back, take you away from here
my friend
and charge you up again
charge you up again
charge you up again, yeah
let's go to ray's, not to pizza hut
let's go to the pig, not to starbux
let's vote for nader, what are we waitin for?
i'm gonna live to be a hundred and sixty four
to the crib then back to the studio
to write a song so good
make a midget grow
from the north pole, down to mexico
if you don't know the words, fuck it!
let's go!
05. People Like You
in a dream i had
you were standin all alone
with a dyin' world below
and a microphone
singin' hallejuhah
i finally broke their mold
whatever its gonna take
good luck, keep it real

06. Transmit Your Love
bow, bow everybody body in the hotel
bow, bow everybody in the motel
don't knock if the door to my suite is closed
you should of come to the show
but you didn't, now you're wishin' that you had
had to go to jimmy buffet with your dad
with LIVE, its game seven every single night
you have to put it on the line
to step inside
transmit your love to me and
silently make me whole again
transmit your love to me
bow, bow put your ear to the door and
bow, bow put your face to the floor and
through the crack, see the people kickin it inside
and leavin it all behind
in the name of love, we raise the roof
in the name of love, do what we came to do
in a town tonight where the streets have no name
and everybody feels the same
the outside world is a goddamn shame
transmit your love to me and
silently make me whole again
transmit your love to me
come on!
tell your leaders love is in town
to turn this whole thing upside down
we can't take it anymore
transmit your love to me
silently make me whole again
transmit your love to me
welcome to my world of love
welcome to my space above
this sacred love
welcome to my space of bliss
drive me to the heart of this
sacred love
sacred love
07. Forever May Not Be Long Enough
forever may not be long enough for my love
i have a will but i'm lost inside your time
if you could, would you come with me to the other side?
forever may not be long enough
forever may not be long enough
forever may not be long enough for this love
forever
forever
forever
this world is never enough, and I'm not givin up
my faith in love is like blood, i'd spill it freely for some
my faith in love is like blood, it flows in everyone
don't stop to look at the clock, forever won't be long enough
forever may not be long enough for you to know
just how far i'd travel, just how far i would go
open your heart and everything will be alright
open your heart, baby leave with me, don't be afraid
forever!

08. Call Me a Fool
i can't believe i finally found
the key, the door, the trip
it was all in my mind
now i'm one with the fools of love
i can't believe i finally found
the prisoner, the free man
were all in my mind
now i'm one with the fools of love
these fools of love are misunderstood
their history is with me now
i can't believe my core was shaken
i gave up the ghost of everything i was before
now i'm one with the fools of love
the fools of love are misunderstood
the mystery is with me now
so call me a fool
call me a fool
call me a fool
i can't believe my dream is over
i woke up this morning with nothing but light in my eyes
now i'm one with the fools of love
i can't believe the key, the door,
the clouds that blocked the sun
they were all in my mind
now I'm one with the fools of love
and these fools of love are misunderstood
their history is with me now
so call me fool
call me a fool
call me a fool
the fools of love are misunderstood
the mystery is with me now
09. Flow
gotta find a way to flow
in a host of things that grow
where babies become old
and love is bought and sold
the mouth of god is wide
so let's just fall inside
and let the whole damn thing go
and flow....
everybody's here
mystery and beer
i have nothin to fear
cuz I found a way to flow
in a host of things that grow
where babies become old
and love is bought and sold
the mouth of god is wide
so let's just fall inside
and let every damn thing go
and flow....
everybody's here
the mystery is near
i have nothin to fear
cuz i found a way to flow
in a host of things that grow
these babies become old
and love is bought and sold
the mouth of god is wide
so i'll just fall inside
and let every damn thing go
and flow....
everywhere we go
(come inside)
everywhere we go
everywhere we go
10. The Ride
in the east
they can meditate
they can recreate the sound of OM
and bring us home
i think i'll go there someday
maybe for a holiday
maybe just light a candle
and take a seat for the ride
you don't need no money to fly
to truly fly away
you don't need no car to truly ride
to truly ride away
in the west
we think we're the best
we've shown the whole wide world
that money is all we care for now
someday the scientists will see
there's no such thing as gravity
they'll all just light a candle
take a seat for the ride
you don't need no money to fly
to truly fly away
you don't need no car to truly, truly ride
to truly ride away
as you ascend in silence
all doubt behind thee
you reach the summit my friend
and find your destiny
11. Nobody Knows
i was on a street
with a common name
i prayed for love
yeah i even begged
i had a vision of you
that carried me through
now it's just magic worlds
in a shaman's dream
i fear no man, i fear no pain
i had a vision of you
that carried me through
and nobody really knows what i would do for you
nobody really knows how much i love you
nobody really knows, nobody knows
nobody knows, nobody knows
i cleared my mind
and i turned around
grateful to the one
who had laid me down
i was silent in love
pourin down from above
like so much rain it fell
and pierced my brains
the trees all alive with their colors
like the dreams of man
i had a vision of you
that carried me through
and nobody really knows what i would do for you now
nobody really knows how much i love you baby
nobody really knows, nobody knows
nobody knows, nobody knows
12. OK?
i am not ok
with this tv in my face
and liar after liar
with nothin' bout nothin' higher
i am on the outside
peerin' in to your world
and all the boys and girls are singin'
save me, save me from the one who only rapes me
take away my tv
don't want your fuckin' recipe
it's all decay decay decay
not today today today
take away my tv
don't want your fuckin' therapy
it's all decay decay decay
not today, not today
it's our world and i'm on fire
with anger and desire
not the kind that they feed to me
with their emptiness and greed greed greed
i don't give a fuck what you say about me
everything you are is just a tool to me
so just set up the mic and let me do my thing
in the consciousness of each and every sentient being
rainin' down like a thunderstorm into your mind
maybe not the first, the second, or even the third time
but eventually, you won't be able to put me down
you'll be havin' me with breakfast in your coffee grounds
13. Overcome
even now
the world is bleedin'
but feelin' just fine
all numb in our castle
where we're always free to choose
never free enough to find
i wish somethin' would break
cuz we're runnin' out of time
and i am overcome
i am overcome
holy water in my lungs
i am overcome
these women in the street pullin' out their hair
my master's in the yard
givin' light to the unaware
this plastic little place
is just a step amongst the stairs
and i am overcome
i am overcome baby
holy water in my lungs
i am overcome
so drive me out
out to that open field
turn the ignition off
and spin around
your help is here
but i'm parked in this open space
blockin' the gates of love
i am overcome
i am overcome
holy water in my lungs
i am overcomed
beautiful drowning
this beautiful drowning
this holy water
this holy water is in my lungs
and i am overcome
i am overcome
i am overcome
i am overcome
14. Hero Of Love
i caught a glimpse of heaven last night
to the left of your body
to the right of your mind
lost in a riddle i was helpless
to understand i went to a healer, the healer held my hand
she said all of these things
are written in the sand behind me
oh, i dream about you every night
i call your name
the whole world thinks that i am insane
here i come again, yeah
i caught a glimpse of heaven last night
through a crack in the mirror
that fractalized the light
a saint is a sinner, a sinner is a saint
it's all just the cloaks we hide behind
a cartoon in the brain
and i say, all of these things
are written in the sand behind me
oh, i dream about you every night
i call your name
the whole world thinks that i am insane
here i come again
oh, playin the hero of love
takin' you higher
i wanna be your hero of love
is it gettin' better?
is it gettin' brighter?
i wanna be your hero
your hero of love
i caught a glimpse of heaven last night
was that a number 96 or was it a 69?
oh, i was lost in a riddle
i was helpless to understand
i went to a lover this lover held my hand
she said all of these things
are just written in the sand behind me
