everything is shining this morning I can't help but stare through crystal air everywhere I looked all over that dark old house I didn't know what I was fussin about I wasn't certain whether it was too concealed then all the curtains finally opened and revealed no more having to wait or dragging debate no more endless quest this that and all the rest (chorus) Eureka! Eureka! YES! Can someone say success?! Eureka! Eureka! YES! Who is the very best?! thought I was lost in a big sticky swamp who needs a map when you don't know what you want then I found glasses and they made the map translate and the molasses started to evaporate no more kicking the dirt to cover the hurt no more feeling stuck finally I found some luck chorus no more dragging my feet or worrying about defeat no more eternity finally I feel set free chorus my nose is shown a clear aroma begone you coma condition mind the windows glint but no need to squint cuz everything is shining this morning chorus

come on now get out of the shower let's all go jump in the mud we'll stuff our faces full of flowers and let the sunshine warm our blood we'll find a hill just look around a grassy hill to roll on the ground take a running jump and slide on down (chorus) what darwin couldn't get to we will follow through and go uncover whatever we can discover we'll take our packs and follow the animal tracks we'll poke the anthills and stare at the snails we'll guess again about each specimen and have a word with a sassy bird chorus let's see what mother nature's grown we'll make the woods our second home let's climb the trees hear symphonies played by the leaves in the canopies chorus come on now get out of the shower let's all go jump in the mud we'll stuff our faces full of flowers and let the sunshine warm our blood

Who 03:38
lyrics

there was the night I fell asleep beneath a grand piano or when I tried to sleep through pavarotti and some sopranos next I'll decide to nap like a cheetah or slumber like a grizzly you'll think I'm awake (or is he?) I'll doze with a book open on my face and you'll often catch me droolin all over the place launch a raunchy subconscious tell me how obscene but know that when I wake up I will tell you the dream but you see I don't care about what when why how or where but you see I don't care about what when why how or where (chorus) won't you fall asleep with me we'll sleep wherever we please can't I fall asleep with you we'll sleep wherever we choose I'll sleep with my face pressed against the wall passed out all night in a bathroom stall I could sleep in a painting eating food in the nude just put me in the Louvre there's no need to be rude you could sharpie on my face just make it cute or chuck me out of plane on a mattress with a parachute I'm a somnabulating stuntman or whatever you need but I deserve a golden pillow or the cy young of sleep but you see I don't care about what when why how or where but you see I don't care about what when why how or where chorus I sleep while the barber cuts and shaves brandishing sharp straight razor blades they say I fell asleep in the palm of Allah but that one night I'm sure it was the devil I saw I'll sleep while the war is being won I'll sleep through the shots of the firing guns and then I'll go to sleep to take a stand and sleep the whole night with a bomb in my hand but you see I don't care about what when why how or where but you see I don't care about what when why how or where chorus but you see I don't care about what when why how or where but you see I don't care about what when why how or where chorus chorus

All In Or Nothin 03:15
lyrics

I never start thinking, "this one is the one" I'd rather run all around and have some fun but I always find if I go dip in my toes that I wanna dive while I'm wearing all my clothes so if you wanna keep it brief please give my heart some relief cuz I'm all in or nothin cuz I'm all in or nothin (chorus) don't give me a single kiss I'm happy alone like this too quickly we'll fall apart I'm sorry you'll break my heart I never think you're the one until I die I'd rather give it the good old college try but when you smile and then wink and walk away I'd rather find all the reasons you would stay so if you think you see the end let's keep this all to just friends cuz I'm all in or nothin cuz I'm all in or nothin chorus and those times when I know that my love will never grow I soon find that I'm wrong the pain comes back so strong so I'm sorry but not tonight yeah I'm sorry is that alright I know you don't want this to last my heart just can't go that fast cuz I'm all in or nothin cuz I'm all in or nothin chorus

I'm gonna lose it music well maybe you can a lot of people try and they seem able to get by but no, I mean how many times has a song actually changed your mind? how many times has a song changed your mind? chorus each song that I wrote those musical notes and lyrical quotes can't vote you've got to get up you've got to stand tall you've got to organize to have any effect at all you've got to find the cash you've got to fill the lists you've got to prepare to fight because they will resist chorus chorus now do you get it? don't you forget it music is bullshit I quit
