Shout

shout shout

i'm shoutin' about the world outside
i'm shoutin' because you just can't hide
i'm shoutin' from the plain honest truth
i'm shoutin' there's so much we could do

shout i'm shoutin' shoutin' shoutin'

i'm shoutin' because it's hard to believe
i'm shoutin' it's so easy to see
i'm shoutin' we're waitin' for a reply
i'm shoutin' for the very last time

shout well baby this one's for you
shout for everything that you do
shout until the battle is won
shout we'll live to fight on and on

and when you add it all together
and when you roll it in a ball
and when you watch another pyramid
as it's about to fall
remember you were there
remember if you care
all those who held their ground
when it all came down
said shout shout

shout it out

The Satisfied Mind

with a mind that's satisfied
with a mind that's satisfied
that big ice cream cone in the sky
floats right on by
the satisfied mind never needs more
it never forgets whatever it's for

beyond control of hot and cold
with a mind that's satisfied
each one goes together alone
with a mind that's satisfied

in the middle of a heat wave
an ice cold drink is a major find
in the long dead end of winter
frozen lovers dream of fire

with a mind that's satisfied
with a mind that's satisfied
lucky ones learn that love is blind
they don't deny
the satisfied mind never needs more
never regrets and never keeps score

in the middle of a heat wave
an ice cold drink is a major find
simple facts you can depend on
bits and pieces of desire

with a mind that's satisfied
that big ice cream cone floats on by
with a mind that's satisfied
lucky ones learn that love is blind
with a mind that's satisfied

the satisfied mind is satisfied

Don't Rescue Me

don't rescue me
i don't want to be
let you and me be
out of control

just because i can't sleep at night
just because i hear your voice
just because i see your face
just because i want you

you you're the one
turn me inside out
you you're the one
make me scream and shout
you you're the one
derailroaded me
you you're the one
don't rescue me

you make me move
where i never been
lost in orbit
all over you

don't bring me back
i beg to differ in fact
you can question why
but what good is that
don't rescue me
i won't go back no i...

The 4th Dimension

i tried and tried
finally i realized
why she left this 3d world behind

go!

she got tired of the same old story
she had a mind that would not quit
she'd insist a plot must exist
with an ending that she could not guess
she tried hard to convince me
then she took off like a bright idea
she believed there just had to be
a movie that she'd never seen

i watched as her fingers drew
a perfect line in space
i watched as she looked on through
into another place

she found out what she'd been missing
she decided she could change her luck
she was right life's not black and white
it's something more than meets the eye

i watched as her fingers drew
a perfect line in space
i watched as she walked straight through
into another place

she parted with convention
now she's living in the 4th dimension
without me

i tried and tried
and still i don't know why
she left me no address
or a way to guess

now she's somewhere in the 4th dimension
she's living in 4d
she found herself a new direction there
she's living without me

C'mon

c'mon c'mon c'mon

when nothing's funny
it gets easy to laugh
at the drop of a hat or a bomb
when someone's screaming
it's hard to ignore
like the shot of a gun c'mon

let's run to a place somewhere
the party never ends
let's run till there's no way
to go on c'mon

can't you hear the sirens blowing
can't you hear them call
can't you see the lasers probing
brighter than the sun

let's run
c'mon c'mon c'mon
c'mon c'mon c'mon

let's run from a promise
that could never be kept
let's run or it's sure to chase us down
well c'mon let's run
c'mon let's run
c'mon let's run

well c'mon
c'mon c'mon c'mon

when no one's laughing
you can bet they've been paid
not to find out what's going on
when something's funny
there's a feeling you get
it's the grip of a threat c'mon

Here To Go

if you smell the smoke
you don't need to be told
what you got to do
yet there's a certain breed
so very in between
they'd rather take a vote
running short on time
still they can't decide
but we already know
that we are here to go

we are here to go
we are here to go
we are here to go
we are here to go

what is really mine
who's at the top of the pile
where does he draw the line
let them figure it out
go on and step across
just remind yourself
that we are here to go

when it grows too long
the tail wags the dog
the hand that bites gets fed
troubled multiply
the crowd begins to cry
for some common sense
let them all dig in
when the odds are no win
head for the nearest door
'cause we are here to go

go!

Jurisdiction Of Love

someone said that
no one knows what
goes on inside
someone in love
strange as it seems
it makes them do things
in their right minds
would never think of

people get away with things
they don't deserve
a jurisdiction of love
enough's not enough
when love gets rough
the jurisdiction of love

off their walls
just like niagara falls
logical thought
is no comfort
it only makes the
matter seem worse

might equals right
in concubial fight
the jurisdiction of love
love equals war
i don't like it no more
the jurisdiction of love

people get away with things
they don't deserve
a jurisdiction of love
when love turns the crank 
it demands carte blanche
the jurisdiction of love

Puppet Boy

wake up puppet boy!

get up puppet boy
you got a job to do
even so you're free to go
where your master tells you to

listen puppet boy
before you disobey
consider that the strings attached
could make a big change in your ways

puppet boy
it's the little things that count
little problems little minds
little points of view
puppet boy
it's the little things add up
getting bigger pull the trigger
little things like you

stand up puppet boy
time to start the show
you'd better do some brand new moves
they paid a lot to watch you go

no!

don't tell me what to do
what's that puppet boy
i'm not a freak like you
what's that puppet boy
i'll move when i want to
i can't hear you puppet boy
now dance dance dance

stay out of bed
unless you wanna get wet
i'm a boy not a toy
and i'm not through yet
stay out of bed
unless you wanna get wet
now wake up puppet boy

listen puppet boy
you're not a robot slave
consider that no strings attached
could ever make you misbehave

puppet boy
it's the little things in life
little problems little minds
little points of view
puppet boy
it's the little things that count
getting bigger pull the trigger
little things like you

now wake up puppet boy!

Please Please

love comes in spurts
and love is all around us
love is what it does
sometimes it hurts
does that strike you rather strangely
does it ever love?

please please please
no need to be so cruel
please please please
don't treat me like a fool

love comes in spurts
sometimes it gets to be too much
to rise above

if you love me
you would leave me
leave me time to be alone
please believe me
that would leave me
time to love you
does that strike you funny love

be-bop-a-lua
be-bop-a-lua she's my baby

when it's over
promise me that you'll go
when it's over
promise you'll let me know
when it's over
promise me that you'll go
just because
what it was becomes
another empty cup of memories

Are You Experienced?

if you could just get your mind together
then come along with me
hold hands and watch the sunrise
from the bottom of the sea

but first are you experienced?
well have you ever been experienced?
well i have i have

i know i know
you'll probably scream and cry
your little world won't let you go
but who in your world
are you trying to prove
that you're made out of gold
and can't be sold

let me prove it to you

beautiful mutants i can hear in the distance
i think they're callin' our name
maybe you can't hear them but you will
if you'll take hold of my hand

oh not necessarily beautiful
but mutated
