Track Name: The Day Will Come
I open up the news, what do I see
Hucksters talking down to you and me
People getting crazier each day
We need something to make it go away

Take it higher
Feed the fire
People yearning
Tide is turning
Turn it up and turn it down
Rock this crazy world around
Day will come, day will come
When we are one
The day will come

Say that they are doing all they can
With golden parachutes for The Man
Now don't pretend that nothings going wrong
We gotta get together get this movement strong.

Take it higher
Feed the fire
People yearning
Tide is turning
Turn it up and turn it down
Rock this crazy world around
Day will come, day will come
When we are one
The day will come

Time to get up off the floor and fight
Don't let them tell you what is wrong or right
We gotta take control of this scene
We only have one life, know what I mean?

Take it higher
Feed the fire
People yearning
Tide is turning
Turn it up and turn it down
Rock this crazy world around
Day will come, day will come
When we are one
The day will come
Track Name: Thang
You got the walk
You got the smile
You got the hair
You got the style

Oh yeah, you got that thang

You got the house
You got the car
You got the kid
You going far

Oh yeah, you got that thang

You got the walk,
You got the smile
You got the hair
And all the while

Oh yeah, you got that thang
Track Name: Where Are The Spacemen
Hopped a rail down to Mexico
Thought I'd find me a UFO
Scanned the sky all day and night
Then I saw a bright and shining light.

Woke up screaming in the dark
Musty cell small and stark
No antenna or pointy ears
Just another prisoner sleeping here.

Where are the spacemen to carry me away?
This world's gone crazy
Take me off to anywhere but here.

Now I'm back on the other side
I'm still waiting for my ride.
Fall asleep on top of the roof
Take me with your tractor beam, yeah.

Where are the spacemen to carry me away?
This world's gone crazy
Take me off to anywhere but here.
Track Name: Sonic Daydream
Taste the rubies tumble red and fiery from your lips
Feel the blue and aching notes stretch out your fingertips
The purple poppies open wide to catch the newborn wave
Spilling down upon the ground to take away our pain.

Come along on a sonic daydream
Trip inside this house and you'll see
Everything inside your mind
Love is all around

Sail upon the silver scales of ancient melody
Close your eyes and open wide
Become the harmony

Come along on a sonic daydream
Trip inside this house and you'll see
Everything inside your mind
Love is all around
Track Name: Better Late Than Never
It's better late than never
I'm so glad to be here
It's better late than never
Took forever and a year

It's been a long long road
Lots of pitfalls along the way
Sounds of guitars keep me moving through this big world
That's what keeps me here today
Oh yeah

It's better late than never
I'm so glad to be here
It's better late than never
Took forever and a year

Ahhhhh

It's not about the destination, just be patient for the ride.
This life is calling so stop crawling on the floor, come alive.

It's better late than never
Track Name: Showdown
The sand is dancing in the California wind
Ice is melting in my gin
Something keeps crawling
Itching underneath my skin
Just the way it's always been
I hear the crying of an eagle way on high
Pointing to the desert sky

Lightning starts flashing
And I'm running down the road looking for which way to go
There's something waiting on a dark and lonely hill
And the pull gets stronger still
The rain starts slashing
I stumble on the mud and rocks
Looking up I see a box and it knocks.

Showdown
Showdown underneath the stars

Then four dark horses gallop through the jagged air
Devils tangles in their hair
They're coming for me
So I grab the box and run, reaching for my trusty gun
But the box starts shaking
Jumping jiving so that I have to let it go
I let it go

Showdown
Showdown underneath the stars

The lid flies open
And a giant bird of light lifts her wings into the night
My great-great-grandma was a maiden Cherokee
And her spirit now I see
Her eyes blaze fire
A giant ray of light blasts those demons out of sight
And the rain is running dry in another newborn sky
And the bird she now is gone but I still can hear her song.
Track Name: Zombie Girl
Zombie girl, she's a zombie girl
The girl from outer space
Zombie girl, she's a zombie girl
With a pink and purple face
Zombie girl, she's a zombie girl
From a different place and time
Zombie girl, she's a zombie girl
She'll rip apart your mind

She's really groovy
Just like a B Movie
She's so hip
In that little spaceship
Zombie girl
Zombie girl
Zombie girl from outer space

Zombie girl, she's a zombie girl
With flying saucer eyes
Zombie girl, she's a zombie girl
With praying mantis thighs
Zombie girl, she's a zombie girl
In her silver gogo boots
Zombie girl, she's a zombie girl
And her radiation suit

She's really groovy
When she does the watusi
She's so hip
In that little spaceship
Zombie girl
Zombie girl
Zombie girl from outer space

Zombie girl, she's a zombie girl
The girl from outer space
Zombie girl, she's a zombie girl
With a pink and purple face
Zombie girl, she's a zombie girl
From a different place and time
Zombie girl, she's a zombie girl
She'll rip apart your mind

She's really groovy
Just like a B Movie
She's so hip
In that little spaceship
Zombie girl
Zombie girl
Zombie girl from outer space
