Lyrics


1. KEEP THE FAITH

When troubles got you down
And sorrow's all around
If you think your loves all been in vain
Just cry to end the pain

Please keep the faith, we need it

You look for a way out
Of this sea of doubt
It looks hard I understand
Swimmin when you can't see land

Please keep the faith, we need it

You need to see the country
But something holds you back
Travel near, far and wide
Have no fear or nothing to hide

Please keep the faith, we need it
If you're tired of the human race,
And you can't find yourself in pace,
There's too many games goin round
And the man's tryin to bring you down

Please keep the faith, we need it


2. REVOLUTIONARY ALL AMERICAN BOYS

We're just what you need
Good solid wood
You'd a done it for us
If you only could
We're your power to make evil curl,
Together we'll make and shape our new world
We're God's children
So don't forget
Paradise is just around the corner
And we'll get there yet
Then we'll give ya all our love,
We'll try our best
For after all,
Our love is what we want to give

We're your crowd pleasers,
We're your body heaters,
We're your human crutch
Oh, we like you very much,
But we're just to look at
Not to touch

You know there always has to be
Someone in this World like we,
Sayin' the needs that to be said,
Someone to wish for in your lonely bed

We're your freedom, we're your son
We shine a light for everyone
We're your happiness, we're your joy
Your revolutionary all american boys!


3. FEET ON EARTH, HEAD IN SKY

Oh we'll fly in on the spring Breeze,
Shoutin' dreams from the smile on our face
On flyin horses came the oak trees
Showin' unity to the human race

Our words are too far from Earth we're told
To ever be any worth
But we'll tell you for the good of your souls,
Live your dreams to find the truth

Feet on Earth, head in sky,
Heart throbs in-between
Finger tips on waves of thought
That no man's ever seen

So don't let fear of pain emerge
And kill us before we speak
For we are his messengers
To give strength to the weak

We'll carry our enchanted sticks,
We'll live in our enchanted land
Enchanted by the touch of God
Or can't you understand

Dream you're on a schooner
In the waters of all time
Or in a tee-pee on the plains
Chantin' all time magic rhymes

Feet on Earth, head in sky,
Heart throbs in-between
Finger tips on waves of thought
That no man's ever seen


4. FEVER IN MY MIND

Fever in my mind, I had a little bit
Money in my pocket, just a little bit
Gave the doctor what I had
Money only makes me sad
I still got the fever in my mind

Doctor told me that I had
A little bit of fever in my head
And he said it'd go away
When he said it'd go away
I listened to him but I knew
That it would stay because
The fever that I had was in
My mind - in my mind

Doctor told me that I had a little bit
Of fever in my head, just a little bit

But I knew what he would say
He would try to make me stay
If I had a fever in my mind

Oh no, oh no, oh no
Oh no, in my mind


5. THE BIG ONE'S STILL COMING

We're having an earthquake
we're goin insane
A California earthquake
Has been shakin' our brains

We're havin an earthquake
And some think it's fun
But in an earthquake
There's nowhere to run

But the big one's still comin',
Yeah, it's on its way

California earthquake
Shakin' our heads
Yeah we're havin an earthquake
On our water-beds

California earthquake
Is breakin the ground
We're havin' an earthquake
What a crazy sound

But the big one's still comin'
Yeah, it's on its way

We're havin an earthquake
We're goin insane
A California earthquake
Has been shakin' our brains

We're havin' an earthquake
And some think it's fun
But in an earthquake
There's nowhere to run

But the big one's still coming,
Yeah, it's on its way


6. WHITE HEADED WOMAN

White headed woman
Ain't had a chance yet
White headed woman
Only got your pants wet,
You know I want you,
You want me too I bet

White headed woman
Maybe when the time is right
White headed woman
Maybe you can spend the night
Won't get much sleep then
But we'll feel all right

I can tell by the look in your eyes
It has come of no surprise
By the way that you lick your lips
You know what you're gonna get

Cause I want you
White headed woman

I want you this afternoon
White headed woman please come soon
I can feel the vibes
A humpin on through the room

White headed woman


7. WE LIVE ON DAY TO DAY

Now if you ever think twice
About takin our advice
To live on day to day
Aw now woman with the golden eyes,
How can we make you realize
That we live on day to day?

Runnin wild on a foggy day
Can't see two feet in front of me
But I'll always say,
We live with danger everyday (The bomb)
There may never be another way
To see into the unknown of any day

[Chorus]
So we live on day to day
Yes we live on day to day

Live every minute of your life my friend
You never know when it may end
But I'll always say,
Live every second of your life my friend
At least you'll know it did begin,
After the fog blows away

[Chorus]

Aw now woman with the golden eyes,
How can I make you realize
That we live on day to day?


8. SHORT LIFE LINE

A fine lookin woman
Walked up to me yesterday
She grabbed my palm,
Here's what she had to say

Oooh you got a short life line
Oooh you ain't got much time
But your eyes'll never be blind
And you're gonna have a damn good time

Said yea yea mama
Short but sweet
Lot a places to see,
Also people to meet

Oooh you got a short life line
Oooh you ain't got much time
But your eyes'll never be blind
And you're gonna have a damn good time

My life has already been full,
So I can't complain
Yea and after I'm dead
They'll remember my name

But mystic thoughts can only fly
To another plane
That's why when you look in my eyes
You think that I'm insane

Watch while we harness energy
From the multitudes,
Then ride it bare-back
On our high energy tunes

Now that woman
No longer held my hand
She was feelin my body,
She knew I'd understand

Oooh you got a short life line
Oooh you ain't got much time
But your eyes'll never be blind
And you're gonna have a damn good time


9. DON'T CONFUSE WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW

You're troubled in your head
Good times have come and gone
Your feet are at your knees and
You feel that you've gone wrong
At night you're all alone,
your heart now needs a song

With nights so sad and dark,
There's no one by your side
Your fever's runnin high and
You've got no place to hide
She took you for a ride,
Your heart feels that it's died

Don't confuse what you don't know
There's no way to say
What you have
May be a hopeless case

Tell me of your story,
Then tell me of your song
Then we'll smoke and think on it
And think of what you've done
Yea what you've done

Don't confuse what you don't know
There's no way to say
What you have
May be a hopeless case

Now have you found yourself
And where you want to be?
Think before you say your piece,
Then go and speak it free
