"Crawl"

"Crawl"



It's harder than it looks to move through water
First you've got to paddle like a pup
You see yourself, you're sure you're lamb to slaughter
So you take what was pure and muck it up

But I'll throw my hands up and drag myself through
And I'll kick my feet cause I've learned to crawl
It's really impressive, when I was just drowning
I'll crawl, might as well be a butterfly

I could hold my breath and just stay under
But now there's rings of fire on the lake
Lookin' back from here I have to wonder
Just how much did I think that I could take

So I'll throw my hands up and drag myself through
And I'll kick my feet cause I've learned to crawl
It's really impressive, when I was just drowning
I'll crawl, might as well be a butterfly
I'll crawl, it's really impressive, when I was just drowning
I'll crawl, might as well be a butterfly

Hand over hand over hand
Hand over hand 'til I believe that I can stand
I'll crawl

I'll crawl, it's really impressive, when I was just drowning
I'll crawl, might as well be a butterfly
I'll crawl, it's really impressive, when I was just drowning
I'll crawl, might as well be a butterfly

I'll crawl

"Crazy"

"Crazy"




I climb the walls of my mind just like I'm climbing on a jungle gym
I am more than content with the
state of mind I am in
'cause I am crazy just like you
I am crazy just like you.

I don't think I need a rubber room,
but hey, that might be nice
I'm not a manic depressive paranoid or schizophrenic
so I don't need your advice.
I am crazy just like you
I am crazy just like you.

The lights are on but nobody's home
my elevator doesn't go to the top
I'm not playing with a full deck
I've lost my marbles
The lights are on but nobody's home
my elevator doesn't go to the top
I'm not playing with a full deck
I've lost my marbles.

I'm a few bricks short of a load,
but a full load always hurt my back.
I flew over the cuckoo's nest and
I'm never ever coming back because
I am crazy just like you
I am crazy just like you.
I am crazy.

"Crazy ABC's"

"Crazy ABC's"



Hey Steve, hey Ed, that sounds nice, what is it?
Thank you, it's a, it's an alphabet song I'm working on
Oh great, a whole new alphabet, I just learned the old one

A is for aisle, B is for bdellium, C is for czar
And if you see him would you mind telling him?

Okay, hang on a second, yeah aisle, bdellium?
Yeah, aisle like a, like a theater, alright, okay and bdellium?
Bdellium, it's a gum like tree resin, it starts with a silent B
And then czar? Yeah, it's uh like a Russian czar

You know everybody knows apple, ball and cat
I wanted to get into some, you know some stranger words
Right, I see what you're doing

D is for djinn, E for Euphrates
F is for fohn, but not like when I call the ladies

I thought phone started with a P like a Ph
No, it's F O H N, it's a, it's a kind of wind
Yeah, I know what you mean by wind

G for gnarly, I for irk, H is for hour
J for jalapeA+os, good in either corn or flour
Tortillas, let us rhyme

K is for knick knack, L is for llama
Pramma, llama, ding, what's so strange about llama?
Llama, it starts with two L's, what's the second one for?
No idea, I know loser

M for mnemonic, N is for ndomo, O is for ouiga board
P for pneumonia, pterodactyl and psychosis, Q is for qat

Okay, Q qat? What? Yeah, it's uh Q A T, it's an evergreen shrub
It's a perfect scrabble word because it's a Q with no U
There's not many of those, you have too much time on your hands

R is for argyle , no it isn't
Okay, you're right, I couldn't find a good R word
S is for SzA?r, a lovely German river
T for tsunami, a wave that makes me quiver

U is for urn, but not like earning money
V for vraisemblance from French and therefore kind of funny

W for wren, wrinkly and who
X is for Xian, an ancient Chinese city, true
Ancient Chinese city, huh? My guitar player, some hotshot

Y is for yiperite, a very nasty gas
And zed's the final letter and by final I mean last

Okay, when you say zed for the benefit of our American friends
You really mean Z, right?
No, I mean zed, like, like Zed Zed Top, Zed Zed Top?

Yeah, you know the guys with the big long beards
Well, except the guy whose name is Beard, he has a mustache
I always thought that was interesting

You done with the alphabet?
No, extra letters I haven't heard of? I think so
This was a great help, I think
With the contribution you made to world literacy

Well, I'm just saying, kids I'm just saying
Think outside the box a little bit, box with an R
Yeah, well, no box with a B A L K S like a pitcher
Ah, as opposed to B A C H S

Right, think outside the box, get into some Rochmaninov
That's Rochmaninov with a W

"Curious"

"Curious"



If I climb a tree just to see what I see
Does that make me curious?
If I make a point of just cruising a joint
Would that make me curious?

And if it's profound this just lookin' around
Well, then gee whiz
Don't call me crazy, I've never been lazy
Curious it is

A touch of excess with a little finesse
It's simply luxurious
And if I confess to makin' this mess
Would that make you furious?

But after a while you'll be crackin' a smile
And that's when we'll see
If I may submit, you'll have to admit
You're curious like me

They say that curiosity was responsible
For the unfortunate demise of the cat
But with 8 more lives to investigate
What kind of a deal is that? Not bad

A furious sun can make for serious fun
So we won't let that worry us
'Cause the fun is outdone by a barrel of one
If that one's the furriest

If curious means that you trade your routines
For somethin' free
The freedom you feel's the whole point of the deal
So curious I'll be

Curiouser and curiouser sir
Curious
Curious like
Curious like me

"Daydreamin'"

"Daydreamin'"


[Verse 1:]
I might be a doctor
I might be a leader
Pilot a helicopter
Or be a beekeeper
All I wanna do
Is make it come true
All I'm trying to do
Is make it come true

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna get it right one day
And you'll be out of excuses
For telling me that there is no way;
That it's pointless, it's useless
That I'm dreamin'
I'm dreamin'
I'm dreamin'
I'm dreamin'
Daydreamin'

[Verse 2:]
Hold the phone
Turn off the fax machines
All I wanna do
Is make it come true
Yeah, all I'm trying to do
Is make it come true

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna get it right one day
And you'll be out of excuses
For telling me that there is no way;
That it's pointless, hopeless, useless
That I'm dreamin'
I'm dreamin'
I'm dreamin'
I'm dreamin'
Daydreamin'
Daydreamin'
Daydreamin'
Daydreamin'
Daydreamin'

"Did I Say That Out Loud?"

"Did I Say That Out Loud?"


[Verse 1:]
I know you're not to kiss and tell,
But maybe nobody has ever kissed as well as you do,
Don't know what's got a hold of me,
Alcohol or alchemy,
I know you're not to kiss and tell - oh well.

[Chorus:]
Anywhere you're gonna be, that's where I wanna be,
Right now, did I say that out loud,
Put your hands up in the air,
Wave 'em like you care and I'll be there,
Anywhere you're gonna be, that's where I wanna be,
Right now; did I say that out loud,
Woah-oh woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
Woah-oh woah-oh--oh--oh--oh--oh.

[Verse 2:]
They tell you not to plan too far,
But I'm already miles ahead, and I intend to be wherever you are,
Don't know what's got a hold of me,
It's greater than gravity,
They tell you not to plan too far, but we are.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
When you get close,
And my heart goes,
Boom-boom-pow!
Did I say that out loud?
When you kiss me,
And it hits me,
If I try to write about it,
Someone's gonna diss me,
Miss me miss me,
Now we got a history,
Is it such a mystery,
How I fell for you?
How I fell for you.

[Chorus]

I know you're not to kiss and tell, oh well.

"Do They Know It's Christmas?"

"Do They Know It's Christmas?"



It's Christmastime; there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world at Christmastime
But say a prayer and pray for the other ones
At Christmastime

It's hard, but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window
And it's a world of dread and fear
And the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that ring there
Are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you
There won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime

The greatest gift they'll get this year is life
Oh, where nothing ever grows, no rain or river flows
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you, raise a glass for ev'ryone
Here's to them, underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

"Down To Earth"

"Down To Earth"



Some people are just all show
Well, I don't mind that if the show is worth watching
But it's all bark and no tree
What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace?
It's all peace and love and limousines
You got the right message, but the wrong intentions
How can you be touchy-feely when you've lost touch?
I think it's time we had a little intervention with you

Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)

There's no better friends than the, the kind you pay
If they don't balance, great - then the door will keep revolving
It's a tight circle of the chosen few
Well, how'd you manage that with the recipe involving
Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst?
Mix it all up - you're the all-purpose flour
Though it looks delicious, something smells bad
I don't think I'd last a half an hour with you

Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)

What's it like to love you
When there's no one else above you
And no one gets to know you?
Well, who'll be there to show you (via satellite)?

It's like making love to a TV
It's kinda novel, but it's miles away from satisfying
Your hangers-on say it's a great deal
But what you're selling, there's no chance in hell that I'll be buying

Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)

"Drawing"

"Drawing"



There's a blueberry pancake flying in the sky
I can see it, I can see it
And there's a castle in the cloud and it's floating on by
Can you see it? Can you see it?

With my imagination I can see it
With my pencil crayons I can draw it
On a piece of paper I can show it to you
I can show it to you

There's a purple hippopotamus riding on a bike
I can see it, I can see it
There's a spaceship over my house at night
I just know it, I just know it

With my imagination I can see it
With my pencil crayons I can draw it
On a piece of paper I can show it to you
I can show it to you

Draw, draw, drawing, na na na na na
Draw, draw, drawing, na na na na na
Na na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na na

My imagination, my imagination
My pencil crayons, my imagination
