Believe it or not She’s the one who knows Its out of your hands That's how love grows She don’t need your money She don’t need a thing Believe it or not I just heard her sing She’s got it And all the boys are waiting for her show Believe it or not His followers do Insisting on answers That are always true Yet nobody knows What's coming for you Believe it or not Its all going to change baby And all the boys are waiting for her show Come on now and tell me what you know Come on and tell me who told you so? She’s got it Believe it or not As you try and compare Do you want to be here or would you rather be there? There ain’t nothing to it, digging this sound Looking for signs All around She’s got it And all the boys are waiting for her show So when are you going tell me what you know? Come on now tell me who told you so?

Is it too late? Probably so Are you ready? When times to go Somewhere in a dream Strangers laughing in the night I tried to pay for so long It's hard to say what went wrong Gazing o’er your ancient pain Where the wild and the ageless go No desperate need No search for relief Leaving you something Savory and sweet For the hungry ghosts that remain Where the wild and the ageless go

Come On Down 03:09
Come On Down Just hanging around At your place Kinda small but there’s a lot of space A lot of letters At you door But no one lives here anymore Ever since you lost your cool And bought your car You keep running But you won’t get far They’re talking about you Behind your back Darkest clouds when your heart is black Saw you yesterday Looking down With the lonely face of a clown Nobody telling you to But you still think you’re playing A fool like me And all the people are so strange When all their stories are the same What would you know to be? Where could you go just to see? I’m looking forward to all the facts Please let me know When they’re coming back Stark, naked Wearing a crown You know I never meant to let you down You’ll have to go to your own school Til you get yourself free If you think you’re playing a fool like me
4.
Leaving Now 03:43
Leaving Now If you’re leaving now Where are you going? It’s deceiving how you try to explain So if you’re leaving now You should be going Far away where no one can drag you down If you’re leaving now Where are you going? If you believe that’s how I’ll have to refrain So if you’re leaving now You should be going Be on your way before the sun goes down Maybe I was thinking I could tell All the holy lonely hearts that fell But all I know is how to wish you well Mine eyes are open as the shadows disappear And why not open all to hear? If you’re leaving now Where are you going? Anywhere that you can arrange If you’re leaving now You should be going There’s no use for you to try and change It would be kind if it weren’t so strange

Mindbender 02:25
Standing at the stone wall Waiting on a waterfall Nobody said a word No sound to be heard Gave a nightgown to Mr. Brown And a long black Pontiac Turned him upside down Now in the morning he hits the sack Hey Mindbender won’t you send a sender to One Show Stopper and a Copper who Fat Daddy told you you were going to be a star Anywhere but where you are Hey what do you say to the Working man’s blues For all the jobs you’re afraid to lose Hey Mindbender won’t you send a sender to Whoa Holy Roller like a Papa who Aw Don’t feel sad You know it’s not so bad I’m thinking you’ve been had It happens every time you talk and blame it on someone new Hey Mindbender won’t you send another clue Hey Flip Flopper build a wall for the well to do
6.
Want You 03:46
Oh I want you to stay and Forget yesterday That the night took away Oh I want you today You are my only one and We follow the sun Til the end of the day For the wandering way and I want you to stay Bring me smiles and your tears For I won’t count the years and I won’t go away And I want you to stay Just to hear Of good will and good cheer That the night took away For when you ran away All alone and astray Never could do enough Always had to pay And I want you to stay For the wandering way For good love and good cheer I want you today And I won’t turn away because I want you to stay

Shake It 03:00
Everybody’s putting everybody down Everybody’s singing every class croon clown Stepped on a nail Went through the bottom of your shoe Come on little darlin you know you gotta shake it down Shake it down Waiting on Victoria Waiting on a train Waiting in the valley Waiting in the rain Waiting on my hands Waiting on your knees No sweet momma’s gonna wait on me Shake it down Oh now you know you gotta shake it down Think about your heroes and it makes you feel sad But they never had what you think they had What if they did? What good would it do? No heroes here gonna rescue you Shake it down Oh you know you gotta shake it down Lost on the highway Law stood still Five to annie up and the they got your will I never know what price I have to pay But the wheel of fortune is gonna roll my way Shake it down
8.
When you’re so far away I Tell myself that I am Not waiting for you Just looking forward to What I call mine What comes my way You had a drink You were not aware It made you think They just don’t care I need to see you before you’re gone away For I may not see you down the line someday Did what you were supposed to do Waited your turn But know you know Some people they just don’t learn I need to see you before you’re gone away For I may not see you down the line someday Oh baby Take me

El Elle 02:16
Message found by wandering round so If it's all the same Hiding out at least Is just my game Don't know that I need anymore You're still crying I'm not trying Why can't we be fair? If you're almost more than I can bear I want to know what only eyes can say Why would you ever find your worries all come true? With neon signs and story lines Following you Finding what was lost to him and Lost to her before I don't mind the darkness anymore I want to know what only eyes can say
10.
Please don't explain I won't complain When summer turns to fall It's happening to us all When will we love again? I will wait to see A light so strange Watching for some change With all the things I thought I knew Falling away from me Will she come back again? Endless mystery

I don’t know about the jive of the hive you only Share with those who agree And I’m not feeling the vibe of the tribe you started Because you want to be free So maybe you don’t need me I can’t keep up with the plan of the clan So I just keep moving on I left all of the things that you like So you won’t even know that I’m gone Because maybe you don’t need me Because I tried but I died And what seems is not what’s true So aybe you don’t need me And when you realize All you have is greed Clever consolation's not what you need
