Elemental Lyrics
[Intro]
This race is already run
Get off your horse, get on this train
Hey-a, hey-a, oh
Welcome to the real world
I said, welcome to the real world
Are we rushing like the wind
Naked out and naked in?
Welcome to the free world
I said, welcome to the me world
Are we rushing like the wind?
[Interlude]
[Refrain]
Put your loving arms around
[Verse 1]
Did you lose your faith in God, no?
Does your conscience always get you down?
Fall to pieces, rough and tumble
Does your conscience always get you down?
[Chorus]
These days it's all in the mind
It's elemental
Don't say you're up when you're down
It's elemental
[Refrain]
Put your loving arms around
[Verse 2]
This your New Year's resolution
Put your loving arms around
Nothing doing revolution
Put your loving arms around
[Bridge]
Take another leap in the dark
With a humble heart
Do yourself some good
What did you become?
Patience, be sure
Baby, baby
[Chorus]
These days it's all in the mind
It's elemental
Don't say you're up when you're down
It's elemental
[Chorus]
These days it's all in the mind
It's elemental
Don't say you're up when you're down
It's elemental
[Chorus]
These days it's all in the mind
It's elemental
Don't say you're up when you're down
It's elemental
[Outro]
These days it's all in the mind
It's elemental
Mr. Pessimist Lyrics
[Intro]
Don't worry about it
[Verse 1]
Time will swallow
Your precious time
Like magic create the future
[Chorus 1]
What makes a man so fickle?
Who put the daggers in those eyes?
Was it to learn through dark days of struggle?
Was it to burn, to burst all our bubbles?
Thunder and rain
Well the cynical flame, will it heat, stick and blister?
Thunder and rain
[Verse 2]
Evangelistic brother
Should be banging a tambourine
Go wash your hands and fingers
'Til your mind is clean
[Chorus 2]
Was it your fate
To sleep like a normal?
Time and decay
No man is immortal
Thunder and rain, boredom and pain lit the cynical flame
Will it heat stick and blister?
Thunder and rain
Still try to resist the pessimist, the pessimist, no, no
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
And these things I find
In the back of my mind
Where time lasts forever
I get all mixed up, think I'm all mankind
[Chorus 3]
Listen, Mr. Pessimister
With your Catholic taste
Oh, listen, Mr. Pessimister, Pessimister
We do not relate
Listen, Mr. Pessimister, Pessimister, Pessimister
Mr. Pessimister
Dogās a Best Friendās Dog Lyrics
[Verse]
Shame, dog shame
I know what's wrong
Man's too old and wise
Bring in the dog, turn on
Down the mountain rescue
Slip and slide when sunny
Small cat better move along
Or this bitch could do some harm, baby
Straight as an arrow
I'm walking the dog
[Pre-Chorus]
Three's a crowd
Two's a dog and me playing
What's he saying?
Free as a cloud, no one ever really knew you
Make clear your illusion no, no, no, no
[Chorus]
Some dreams you dream you alone
You thank Christ you're coming home
You better, better give the dog a bone
Go, go, go, go, chew, chew, chew, chew
Some dreams you dream alone
Go get a life and ease the pain
Dog's a best friend's dog
Dog's a best friend's dog
[Bridge]
Word, speech, blurred, bleached
Tell Mr. Godot I'm walking the dog
Walking the dog
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Some dreams you dream you alone
You thank Christ you're coming home
You better, better give the dog a bone
Go, go, go, go, chew, chew, chew, chew
Some dreams you dream alone
Go get a life and ease the pain
Dog's a best friend's dog
Dog's a best friend's dog
[Outro]
Dog's a best friend's dog
Dog's a best friend's dog
Dog's a best friend's dog
Some dreams you dream you alone
Dog's a best friend's dog
Fish Out of Water Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You always said you were the compassionate one
But now you're laughing at the sun
With all your high class friends you think you've got it made
The only thing you made was that tanned look on your face
With all your cigarettes and fancy cars
You ain't a clue who or what you are
[Chorus]
You're dreaming your life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
[Verse 2]
We used to sit and talk about primal scream
To exorcise our past was our adolescent dream
But now it's sink or swim since your memory fails
Now in Neptune's Kitchen you will be food for killer whales
And on the crucifix his mother made
Hangs one more martyr to the hit parade
[Chorus]
You're dreaming your life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
[Chorus]
You're dreaming your life away
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
Fish out of water
[Interlude]
[Outro]
You're dreaming your life away
Fish out of water
You're dreaming your life away
You're dreaming your life away
Fish out of water
"You're dreaming"
Gas Giants Lyrics
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Giants on Armistice Day
Caught between the rock and the renegade
Power Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Last year's rivals share their blood
Sailor sworn to secrecy
Ride the waves and stem the flood
The tides of endless enmity
Power now is all the rage
Sons and daughters of the gun
Hungry babies come of age
Phasers switched and set to stun
[Chorus]
Power now
Power how?
Power wow
Here's power
[Post-Chorus]
If you're seeking power
[Verse 2]
Doctor held you tight and torn
Boy, he was a lucky man
Out of you the future born
Slight of foot and sight of hand
Douse the candle, dim the light
Focus not on fire or flame
Don't believe that might is right
Your soul can turn you just the same
[Chorus]
Power now
Power how?
If you're seeking power
Power wow
Here's power
[Chorus]
Power now
Power how?
If you're seeking power
Power wow
Here's power
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
If you take my breath away
The whole damn thing will turn and return
Redefined, rearranged, rearranged
If you're seeking power
And 'til my dying day
I guess I'll have to burn just to learn
This the time, this the place
To show a human face
[Verse 3]
Dressed to kill, we guessed you might
Friend or foe or family
We'll sacrifice the Virgin white
Her death will be the life of me
Power now is all the rage
Don't excuse it, use it well
Keep the lion in his cage
Free from hunger, free from hell
[Chorus]
Power now
Power how?
If you're seeking power
Power wow
Here's power
[Chorus]
Power now
Power how?
If you're seeking power
Power wow
Here's power
Brian Wilson Said Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My life, nothing was easy 'til now
Hope like the morning will paint the dawn
More than ordinary
Make it more than merry
Take me to the jamboree
Deep down, deep down, deep, deep down
And shine a light on me
Draw back the curtains and smile
Everything's wow
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Girls are ten a penny
Janet, Joy and Jenny, Judy, Joan and Jackie G
Hear me now, I warn you
Girls from California break your heart and set you free
My life
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Shame to rely, but I swear it's the best I can do
Like a flame, like an āiā with a dot I am not you
Call me guilty, I swear I'm a man who can fly
(Deep down, deep, deep down)
I keep coming back, I'll get back to you
[Outro]
My life, nothing was easy 'til now
