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

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.

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

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

Showdown 03:04
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.

Zombie Girl 03:52
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
