I got caught in the canvas Stuck my brush on the wall And I don't know what's real now Cause it's too hard to tell If you're going to Minstrel Station I will take you there It will take an incantation to Conjure up my chariot The roads that we traverse will take us Low and mountain high The languages conversed will make us Fluent with the sky So if you're going to Minstrel Station I will take you there It will take some excitation to Lasso up my lariot The mountain pass goes through a tunnel Leading to the sky The troubadours rehearse and bring a Twinkle to the eye

Flipside 03:16
It's all calling for you It's all calling for you It's all calling for the man who's on the flipside Of the yin and yang, running to the eastside from the west side of the gang Ready and I'm willing, looking hill and dale Running to the eastside on the right side of the trail It's all calling for you It's all calling for you It's all calling for the man who's on the flipside Of the 45, skipping all the A sides, cause the B sides are my style Ready and I'm willing, listening away, drivin to the eastside with the A sides left to play It's all calling for you It's all calling for you It's all calling for the man who's on the flipside Of the 405, drivin to the eastside, picking up a whole new life Drinking and I'm singing, karaoke wails, running to the eastside with the westwind in my sails
3.
Wave at the people as the wind blows Church and the steeple made of your bones A penny saved, a penny burned Playing with fire, you've got to earn Life's just an evergreen tree away And life's just for you and for me, a play It's a life's work, just to put down to the page What you know Cause life's just and evergreen dream away It's a long branch waving hello And it's not by chance you're in the know And the roots were deep long, long ago
4.
Blue moons away Just to live our lives to the fullest each day Blue Moon on stage That's the place we'd love to sing, jump and play A lot of friendly ghosts there still hanging on the walls Played a lotta shows there band sticker's on the wall Everyone you know is there you're welcomed at the door Feels like it's home there sitting at the bar (in a dive) Blue moons away Just to get to where we were back in the day Shows blown away Can't wait to load in set up and play someday Blue Moon to stay Blue Moon will never go away Blue Moon forever
5.
Let's stop watching as the sun goes down Let's stop wondering if the earth is spinning round There's a watchman in a tower On the firmament wall Let's stop watching as the sun goes down Let's stop wondering if the earth is round Cause it'll be the thing that blows our minds There's a watchman in a tower On the high sea ice wall Let's stop wondering if the earth's a ball Lies will fly in space Stars shine into your eyes Storms and seas will rage Fly high, you'll never break the plane Just float away
6.
Pedestal 03:09
Who wrote your name upon the wall I'll be anyone you want I'll do anything you want me to Who put you on a pedestal I'll be begging on my knees I'll be falling at your feet my queen Lies will fly, deep in the night When you're wanting touch And you're all used up Eyes will cry, deep are the wounds But still your heart opens up it's doors again
7.
Young Lovers 03:43
The waves on the ocean The way that you touch my face Is this the old normal? Is this the only sane place? We should be touching each other Not standing six feet away Teenagers last summer Never fell in loved or played Hold me close in the dark drenching rain Hold me til we cannot feel the pain If we ever want to be the same You've gotta touch somebody's face, young lovers The weight of the world The way that you hide your face (Don't hide your face, he's looking for you girl) The distance we're keeping All out of social grace (Don't stay at home, he's wishing for you girl) You should be kissing each other Young lovers in new embrace (Find the time, free your mind, where ya gonna draw the line?) The closer the better, one touch and our hearts will race (Don't stand so far, come closer baby) Hold me close in the warm summer sun Hold me til the hurt has been undone If we ever want to be as one You've gotta kiss somebody's lips, young lovers You should be kissing each other Young lovers in new embrace (Find the time, free your mind, where ya gonna draw the line?)
8.
Light the torch and burn off your innocence It's enough to make hard decisions and Harder still to speak the Truth to power freaks them out Like they've always been Scare of the dark Like we always knew Oh it's the light, the spark between us Oh it's the light, the spark between us Light the fuse and blow up the staus quo There's so much that they don't want us to know it's Harder still to speak the Truth to power freaks them out Like they've always been Scare of the dark Like we always knew Oh it's the light, the spark between us Oh it's the light, the spark between us Light up the band and strike up the torches
9.
When In Rome 03:28
Take your cue from conventional wisdom The consensus is your own opinion When In Rome Tug of war over whose facts are better Pulling til we unravel the sweater When In Rome On display is a list of your virtues Never thought they would tear down your statue When In Rome And when you're out in the darkness And you're too far from home You better make the assumption you're not alone I've had enough of the backstreets And the seeds I have sown I've gotta keep us together and come home Right to privacy last priority More concerned with our day to day safety When In Rome Nothing to fear but sheer mass hysteria Hiding behind a curtain to scare ya When In Rome All is not lost there is a prescription Grab a broom and sweep out the corruption When In Rome And when you're out in the margins On the fringe outer zone You gotta know that the truth is you're not alone I've had enough of the mainstream And the seeds they have sown I've gotta tune out the discord and roll on When In Rome

2 4 6 8 03:13
2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate? Like to write a song for love for you Sing of all the lovely things you do Like to write a sexy note to you Tell you all the things I'd like to do Turn up the ardor Blood's running hotter now This is where we are, yes and this is where we've been But look into my eyes and you will find a new man We can take the world by storm, we two Give 'em all a show like we can do Gaining steam and coming back anew Telling all the world that I love you Turn up the ardor I'm all hotblooded now This is where we are, yes and this is where we've been But looking in your eyes I can see a new woman Turn up the ardor Blood's running hotter now This is where we are, yes and this is where we've been But look into my eyes and you will find a new man 2 4 6 8 who do we appreciate?
