    I don't eat red meat but I'm not a vegetarian
    I like ice cream/ but not much dairy
    'cause it gets in my nose
    it makes me gotta blows
    snot like a farmer and it gets on my clothes
    it's rather unsightly/ can even be frightening
    but cold medication/ should not be taken nightly
    because everything dat I put in/ it comes out again
    and if I eat lean/ it helps me stay thin
    check out my hair, I keep it dreaded
    about my corn? I like it breaded
    hot from the oven? MMMM! you said it!
    straight to the stomach my fuel is unleaded
    But not fossil fuels/ I like olive oil
    I like my eggs scrambled/ I never eat 'em boiled
    The way to my heart/ is with a garlic clove
    it smells hella sexy/ when it's on the kitchen stove

    (chorus)
    Red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice,
    make everything nice
    red beans and rice, red beans and rice, red beans and rice
    I could eat a plate twice. So nice. So nice. So nice.


    Peace

    hey mister bee the world change
    but you remain the same
    and i wonder how you survive with the environment going down the drain
    hey miss dragonly i see you look at me with your beautiful eyes
    you must be wondering what type of creature am I

    SOULMATE

    Who doesn't long for someone to hold
    Who knows how to love you without being told
    Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
    If there's a soulmate for everyone

    Here we are again, circles never end
    How do I find the perfect fit
    There's enough for everyone
    But I'm still waiting in line

    Who doesn't long for someone to hold
    Who knows how to love you without being told
    Somebody tell me why I'm on my own
    If there's a soulmate for everyone

    If there's a soulmate for everyone

    Most relationships seem so transitory
    They're all good but not the permanent one


    Peace

    UNWRITTEN

    Staring at the blank page before you
    Open up the dirty window
    Let the sun illuminate the words
    That you could not find
    Reaching for something in the distance
    So close you can almost taste it
    Release your inhibitions

    Feel the rain on your skin
    No one else can feel it for you
    Only you can let it in
    No one else, no one else
    Can speak the words on your lips
    Drench yourself in words unspoken
    Live your life with arms wide open
    Today is where your book begins
    The rest is still unwritten, yeah

    Now the ocean connects me
    To everything that I know
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
  • CHANGEinWAVESCHANGEinWAVES Posts: 10,169
    You know some people they just won't understand won't understand these things

    POSITIVE

    Make me, make me sweat
    til I'm wet, til I'm dry
    but then wipe this tear from my eye
    haven't felt this warm in a long time
    even out in the bright sunshine
    in lifetime of springtimes

    I fall into your arms
    with my heart pumpin' on
    like a bubblin' dub track
    like a garlicy hot tonque and lip smack

    I did some contemplation
    before we got down to this consecration
    maybe baby something in you kiss said
    it was an impetous
    for me to rethink this

    If I love you
    then I better get tested
    make sure we're protected

    I walk through the park
    dressed like a question mark
    Hark!
    I hear my memory bark
    in the back of my brain,
    makn' me insane...
    ...like cocaine

    But how'm I gonna live my life if I'm positive?
    Is it gonna be a negative?
    How'm I gonna live my life if I'm positive?
    Is it gonna be a negative?
    but how'm I gonna live my life if I'm positive?

    It dawned on me, it seemed to me
    this is unusual scenery
    this red light greenery
    make me feel kinda dreamery
    thinkin' how I used to be

    Arrive at the clinic
    walk through the front door
    take a nervous number
    then I think about it more
    about all the time
    that I neglected
    makin sure that
    I was protected

    They took my blood
    With an anonymous number
    two weeks waitin' wonderin'

    I shoulda done this a long time ago
    alot of excuses why I couldn't go
    I know these things and these things I must know
    'cause it's better to know than to not know!

    I go home to kick it
    in my apartment
    I try to give myself
    a risk assessment
    the wait is what can really annoy ya
    everyday is more paranoya

    I'm readin' about how it's transmitted
    some behavior I must admit it
    who I slept with, who they slept with,
    who they, who they, who they slept with

    I think about life and immortality
    what's the first thing I do if I'm H.I.V
    have a cry and tell my mother
    get on the phone and call my past lovers
    I never thought about infectin' anotha
    all the times that I said "Hmmm? Don't bother."

    Was it really all that magic?
    The times I didn't use a prophalactic

    Would my whole life have to change?
    or would my whole life remain the same?
    sometimes it makes me wanna shout!
    all these things too hard to think about
    a day to laugh, a day to cry
    a day to live and a day to die
    'til I find out, I may wonder
    but I'm not gonna live my life six feet under

    You dance with my mind
    "I'm not present, I'm a drug that makes you dream"
  • CHANGEinWAVESCHANGEinWAVES Posts: 10,169

    Follows you close behind

    "So come sit down
    Will you talk with me now?
    Let me see through your eyes
    Where there is so much life
    We are biding our time
    For these myths to unwind
    These changes we will confront

    So peace be where
    With every place that you had
    Look to your soul
    For these things that you know
    For the trees that we see
    Cannot forever breathe
    With the changes they will confront"

    Harvest For The World

    All babies together, everyone a seed
    Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need
    Love's bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed
    Oh, When will there be a harvest for the world (yeah, yeah, yeah)

    A nation planted, so concerned with gain
    As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain
    And far too many, feelin' the strain
    Oh, When will there be a harvest for the world (yeah-yeah, yeah)

    Gather every man, gather every woman
    Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children (oh!)
    Gather everyone, gather all together
    Overlooking none (Overlooking none), hopin' life gets better for the world (yeah, yeah, oh)

    Dress me up for battle, when all I want is peace
    Those of us who pay the price, come home with the least
    And nation after nation, turning into beast
    Oh, When will there be a harvest for the world

    Yeah, yeah
    When will there be
    I wanna know now now
    When will there be (harvest for the world)
    A harvest (harvest for the world)
    When will there be (harvest for the world)
    A harvest (harvest for the world)

    Lost

    I can't find myself
    I can't find myself
    I can't find myself
    I can't find myself
    In the head of this stranger in love

    Holding on
    Given up
    To another under faded setting sun
    And I wonder where I am...
    (Could she run away with him?!)
    So happy and so young
    And I stare
    As I sing in the lost voice of a stranger in love
    Out of time, letting go

    In another world that spins around for fun
    And I wonder where I am...
    (Could he ever ask her why?)
    So happy and so young...
    And I stare... But...
    I can't find myself
    I can't find myself
    I can't find myself
    I can't find myself
    In the heart of this stranger in love

    Given up
    Holding on
    To this other under faded setting sun
    And I'm not sure where I am...
    (Would he really turn away?!)
    So happy and so young...
    And I stare...
    As I play out the passion of a stranger in love

    Letting go of the time
    In this other world that spins around for one
    And I'm not sure where I am...
    (Would she know it was a lie?!)
    So happy and so young...
    And I stare... But...
    I can't find myself
    I can't find myself
    I can't find myself
    I can't find myself

    In the soul of this stranger in love
    No control
    Over one
    To the other under faded setting sun
    And I don't know where I am...
    (Should he beg her to forget?!)
    So happy and so young...
    And I stare...
    As I live

    out the story of a stranger in love
    Waking up
    Going on
    In the other world that spins around undone
    And I don't know where I am...
    (Should she really say goodbye?)
    So happy and so young
    And I stare... But...
    I can't find myself
    I can't find myself
    I can't find myself
    I can't find myself

    I got lost in someone else.

    ...No particular place names
    No particular song
    I've been hiding
    What am I hiding from

    Don't worry baby, it's gonna be alright
    Uncertainty can be a guiding light
    I hear voices, ridiculous voices
    Out in the slipstream
    Let's go, let's go overground
    Take your head out of the mud baby

    She's gonna dream up
    The world she wants to live in
    She's gonna dream out loud
    She's gonna dream out loud...

    (from Zooropa)
    I love to turn you on

    Love The One You're With]

    If you're down and confused
    And you don't remember who you're talkin' to
    Concentration slip away
    Cause your baby is so far away.
    Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove
    And the eagle flies with the dove
    And if you can't be with the one you love
    Love the one you're with
    Love the one you're with
    Don't be angry, don't be sad,
    Don't sit cryin' over good things you've had,
    There's a girl right next to you
    And she's just waiting for something you do.
    Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove
    And the eagle flies with the dove
    And if you can't be with the one you love
    Love the one you're with
    Love the one you're with
    Turn your heartache right into joy
    She's a girl, you're a boy,
    Get it together make it nice
    Ain't gonna need anymore advice.
    Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove
    And the eagle flies with the dove
    And if you can't be with the one you love
    Love the one you're with
    Love the one you're with

    One of my favorite RUSH songs....Red Sector A

    [/b]All that we can do is just survive
    All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive

    Ragged lines of ragged grey
    Skeletons, they shuffle away
    Shouting guards and smoking guns
    Will cut down the unlucky ones

    I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed
    A wound that will not heal
    A heart that cannot feel
    Hoping that the horror will recede
    Hoping that tomorrow well all be freed

    Sickness to insanity
    Prayer to profanity
    Days and weeks and months go by
    Dont feel the hunger
    Too weak to cry

    I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate
    Are the liberators here?
    Do I hope or do I fear?
    For my father and my brother, its too late
    But I must help my mother stand up straight

    Are we the last ones left alive?
    Are we the only human beings to survive?[/b]

    Mind Playing Tricks On Me

    Verse Three: Scarface

    Day by day it's more impossible to cope
    I feel like I'm the one that's doing dope
    Can't keep a steady hand because I'm nervous
    Every Sunday mornin I'm in service
    Prayin for forgiveness
    And tryin to find an exit out the business
    I know the Lord is lookin at me
    But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy
    I often drift while I drive
    Havin fatal thoughts of suicide
    BANG and get it over with
    And then I'm worry-free, but that's bullshit
    I got a little boy to look after
    And if I died then my child would be a bastard
    I had a woman down with me
    But to me it seemed like she was down to get me
    She helped me out in this shit
    But to me she was just another bitch
    Now she's back with her mother
    Now I'm realizing that I love her
    Now I'm feelin lonely
    My mind is playin tricks on me

    The masters of classic love songs.....Footsteps In The Dark

    Are we really sure,
    That a love that lasted for so long,
    Still endures?
    Do I, really care?
    Hey hey,
    Let's talk about the distractions going on elsewhere

    I, keep hearing footsteps baby
    in the dark, oh in the dark
    Why? I keep hearing footsteps baby
    In the dark
    Oh in the dark, hoo

    My mind,
    just now and then,
    Looking down dark corridors and wonders what might have been
    Something's up ahead,
    Hey, should I keep this same direction,
    Or go back instead?

    I, keep hearing footsteps baby
    in the dark, oh in the dark
    Why? I keep hearing footsteps baby
    In the dark
    Oh in the dark, hoo

    Honey lets stop walking around
    When there's love lost to be found
    Aah, you Know I still care, I still care
    What's the sense in going elsewhere?

    Who feels, really sure?
    Can I really guarantee your happiness shall endure?
    Do we, really care?
    Hey hey,
    Let's look at what's been happining and try to be more aware

    I, keep hearing footsteps baby
    in the dark, oh in the dark
    Why? I keep hearing footsteps baby
    In the dark
    Oh in the dark, hoo

    Lets stop walking around
    Well when there's love, lost to be found
    Oh baby, you Know, I still care, I still care
    What's the sense in going elsewhere?

    Lets stop walking around
    Well when there's love, lost to be found
    Oh baby, you Know, I still care, I still care
    What's the sense in going elsewhere?

    Cherub Rock

    Freak out
    And give in
    Doesn't matter what you believe in
    Stay cool
    And be somebody's fool this year
    'cause they know
    Who is righteous, what is bold
    So I'm told

    Who wants honey
    As long as there's some money
    Who wants that honey?

    Hipsters unite
    Come align for the big fight to rock for you
    But beware
    All those angels with their wings glued on
    'cause deep down
    We are frightened and we're scared
    If you don't stare....

    A Sort Of Homecoming

    And you know it's time to go
    Through the sleet and driving snow
    Across the fields of mourning
    Light in the distance

    And you hunger for the time
    Time to heal, desire, time
    And you earth moves beneath
    Your own dream landscape

    Oh, oh, oh...
    On borderland we run...

    I'll be there
    I'll be there...
    Tonight
    A high road
    A high road out from here

    The city walls are all come down
    The dust, a smoke screen all around
    See faces ploughed like fields that once
    Gave no resistance

    And we live by the side of the road
    On the side of a hill
    As the valley explode
    Dislocated, suffocated
    The land grows weary of its own....

  • Well it seems so real I can see it
    And it seems so real I can feel it
    And it seems so real I can taste it
    And it seems so real I can hear it
    So why cant I touch it?
    So why cant I touch it?

    Then it looks so real I can see it
    And it feels so real I can feel it
    And it tastes so real I can taste it
    And it sounds so real I can hear it
    So why cant I touch it?
    So why cant I touch it?

    Then it looks so real I can feel it
    And it feels so real I can taste it
    And it tastes so real I can hear it
    And it sounds so real I can see it
    So why cant I touch it?
    So why cant I touch it?

    Now it is so real I can see it
    And it is so real I can feel it
    And it is so real I can hear it
    And it is so real I can be it
    So why cant I touch it?
    So why cant I touch it?
    If nothing is everything, I'll have it all

    How can you stand next to the truth and not see it
    Oh, a change of heart comes slow

    It’s not a hill, it’s a mountain
    As you start out the climb
    Do you believe me or are you doubting
    We’re gonna make it all the way to the light
    But I know I’ll go crazy if I don’t go crazy tonight
    If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
