 11. Ghosts of a Different Dream Intro--A-Cm-D-E
 You dreamt  of wine but did you find
 the dregs  of a another night dissipated
 I read the  sign you know that wine
 the ghosts  of a different dream are waiting
 a different  kind of kiss
 the songs  of a different mist are rolling
 IÕve  been inside your mist
 
 the ghosts of another kissed are calling -------
 The troops  are led and turning red
 they smile  with the oldest trumpet blaring
 a world  of hate, canÕt penetrate
 the ghost  of a different shield your wearing
 a  different kind of fight
keep  those telephones a ringing
I've  been inside alright
the  ghosts of a different dream are singing
 9. Lord of Overstock

Straight  to the Lord of Overstock

 1. Man Called Aerodynamics
find  deep within your ole memory coat
a  cricket bag you ate from
its  sweet-smily apology
 Acceptance awaits you
Don't  be afraid to cherish  it
 (F--Am)
 Look it up in the bookmobile
Look  it up  in the gun rack
 in the  magazine rack
 in the map
for  it.. only after  the fence  comes down
that  the cartoon bubble  explodes
 and the  new party begins
invitation  only  here in the  senator's suitcase
Let  them out and  dance for the ant-god
like  scary magnets  to pounce
 upon command
upon  the man
 the man called  aerodynamics
 6. To Remake the Young Flyer
To  remake the young  flyer
 yes, we must define the time desire
 standing erect to  not detect the anything
that  we could not admire
Through  the long lonely  mire (?)
 number one is that the one to  send
??  on the child
 national  pride
 in my own
 a question  to the lunatic
 do your days seem like nights?
 Do your worlds go  together
dash  forth  (?)
 he takes his place
 he da da da  ??
 
 takes his  softness from his hand and goes
To  remake the young  flyer
 yes, we must define the time desire
 16. Atom Eyes
 opening riff is top 3 strings of C chord to B note and back
 I'm dreaming  it so it must be true
 Nothing  else could look as good as you do
 And so where  the rocket goes
 Up to where  the astros flow into  space
Don't  hold me down
 Atom Eyes don't  worry your brain
 Take a break  from everyday
 sell the  house, the car, the pain
 Atom  Eyes
 riff, then chords repeat til end
 19. Big Boring Wedding

 Chords to opening--D--Em--Fm--G
 I have entered  a shiny new realm
 Of very different  and very spoiled world
 Its with  great pleasure I introduce myself
 To come and  thank you for such delicious pie
 repeat opening riff
The  irony's sweet bird is paralyzed
 With one good finger  you try me on for size
 Its hard to imagine  that you just want to leave
 With yellow photos  pocket sized
 riff again, then start it backwards for the chorus...
 Revealing  mobility of  psychedelic eyes
 Spontaneous  and violent but private  to the mind
 With no where  left to go
 Pass the word the  chicks are back
 The chicks  are back yeah
 The chicks  are back
 The chandelier  is spinning  shaking
 The vibrachord  is  already waking
 Pass the word the chicks are back...repeated until fade
 21. Drag Days
Opening chords--E--A--Fm--A--B{eot}
Drag days are not so bad but move to slow
If I were them I'd want them not to linger so
Now we come to drag days A
Now we come to drag days A
Fake capes baby they're too hard to wear
Put them on and everyone will stare
We have come to drag days A
We have come to drag days A
Abm
We escape them sometimes and the feeling is different more intensified
Abm
We escape them within the walls of our fidgety hearts where we hide
Way up and out beyond the factory yards
Up and over the security guards
We have come to drag days A
We have come to drag days A
Abm
We escape them sometimes and the feeling is different more intensified
Abm
We escape them within the walls of our fidgety hearts where we hide
They will turn around B
The will turn around X 11 B

 It's crippling
 Never really knowing
 We're huddling
 Where its always nice
 And plus there is a flame
 a flame that should be hot?
 In spite of being small and being  still
Following  where ever you will
 Back to riff for verse
 Look at them

 In spite of being small and being  still
Following  where ever you will
 18. Office Of Hearts
Roll  out the pain killers
 We'll have a killer wig  out
Sleepy  boys don't look
 It's  not ?????
Or  a statistical occurrence
 Its octopus  caveman
 Drinking  with the enemy
 He's got a girl on every  arm
 He sits  down and circulates
 In the office  of hearts
 He's case closed  middleman
 In the office  of hearts he'll  steal you away
 twice
He  sits down and circulates
Come  feel the softest parts
 In the office of hearts
 repeat 4 times and fade
 23. Redmen & Their Wives
 Opening---Dm--C--Bb
Roll  out of bed
 
TheyÕre  issuing lives for redmen and their wives
 Offering hands and  twiddling thumbs
 For dreams  that never come
 
 Often said  you better not look away you'll lose the day
 The way  I see it
 ItÕs already lost
 So then be it
 They say
 They're sharpening knives
 
And  primitive lives for Redmen and their wives
 Bread winner and klutz
 And losing  it all before the  one eye shuts
 Well I see it  as paying the  price
  Dn=m Bb
 Nobody feels it these days
 repeat intro
Well  I'd like to go
And  kiss them away
Well  I'd like to know
Another  way
Did  you notice that
 They're taking  back lives for Redmen just to
Give  them time to find the light
 And other things  that bind with pride
A  killers waking up this time
 To honest  gleam and needless pride
We'll  never see it shine
 We'll never  find the time
 20. Its Like Soul Man
D--E----D--E A
 I never liked you until I took a good look at myself
D--E----D--E
 And when I saw you there
I  saw the best part of me was your soul
 It's like soul  man
 It's like soul  man
 Crocker's Favorite Song
 A--Cm--D--F#m throughout
 Everybody's got their hands up high
 Everybody should be touching the sky
 But you know you never never can go down
 So you slow down
 And you walk away
 She says good morning to you
 And you look away
 She asks you just what to do
 You don't know what to say
 But what can be done
 And what can be done for you
 I'll tell you now
 Where will you go
 When nothing's laid out for you
 Dust Devil (from King Shit)
Don't  make promises you can't keep
I've  been hearing them in my sleep
Think  of positive things to feel
If  the disastors are too real
Tum  tum tum tum watch me run
Tum  tum tum tum turn turn turn
Tum  tum tum tum turn your back
 And run wheels  in motion
Watch  them burn
Please  go away now
But  do return
well  the people they look at you
When  the fire spreads show them a room
Don't  a privy of what we've found
On  territorial bowling grounds
Tum  tum tum tum so we go
Tum  tum tum tum long and slow
 So run  break the filth up
All  around
 Slowly build up
And  break it down
 Buy me yogurt
And  knock on wood
 They feel big now
But  we feel good
 Wheels in motion
Watch  them burn
 Please go away now
But  do return
 Scissors (From King Shit)
All  I ever want to have is
She  said no sir, just forget it
A  time to figure out
Just  what's goin' on
 
 But it's not a bad thing
 Bm E Bm---E
 But it's not a good thing
All  my life I've wanted scissors
Not  the kind that are so forgiving
Cigar  box eraser bits
And  that rusty tool
  Sheetkickers
Cover  your eyes
 The light is too bright
 Your wise men  they tell you lies
 And what's  worse
 they curse
 But still
 I love  the bite
 But flies  are maybe marked men
 because they're attracted to  the light
 They realize
 The night has come to baptize
 and they will finally realize
 and what's worse
 It hurts
 But still  they love the  bite
 And I would  like to die with you
 I'd like to try but  I'm not suicide
 And I would  like to kill you
 But that would suit you fine  I realize
 And I won't  disgrace myself
 By chasing you around  to pull you back
 And I will not give in  and hit you when
 Before the fight begins  and its okay
 E Fm--A
 I'm over you
 E Fm--A
 I'm over you
Cover  your eyes
 The light  is too bright
 E--Fm--B--A repeat to end
 Please Freeze Me (From King Shit)
 It's her  again oh oh
 She's a little disturbed  again oh no
 And I'm feeling down again  so it goes
 Circling  round like trouble and  toil
A  princess boiling milk
 They thought  she was a witch
 And when they poured it on her
 She didn't melt
 And I'll bear no guilt
 It's her  again oh oh
 She's a little disturbed  again oh no
 And I'm feeling down again  so it goes
Circling  round like the juggler of  the stars
The  monster of the moon
 It's happening  too soon
 F--B--F#
 Long Distance Man (From Sandbox)
He's  a long distance man
 and he keeps  on going because its not worth blowing
 and he does what  he can because it  not worth losing  and
 there ain't  no choosin
 repeat chords throughout
 Any other world that you live in
 don't believe in second chance
 Sell another dream he won't take it
 so don't fake it when you dance
 Cover up your eyes in these bad times for
 the sad times passing years build another tower
 for your freedom he don't need them shed no tears.
  for the long distance man.....
 Indian Was An Angel
Long  time comin' to take my hand  away
She  says nothin' to take the pain  away
Somethin'  about discussions in the  cave
Somethin'  about a dream that can't  be saved
 
 And all the easy faces
Running  out of happy places
Gone  to the academy
And  plug each sonic lyre
Into  the navajo amplifier
 For us to  hear  and see
 Chords repeat throughout
 Little star went rollin' up the hill
 Asked me to come and dance I said I will
 There are the days of preparation still
 Somethin's gonna happen on that hill
 And all the summoned graces
 Manifest in different places
 There for us to see
 And little star keeps sayin'
 Indian was an angel prayin'
 Come and patiently
 For us ??also in we??
 And save a place for me

[Bb]TheyÕre issuing lives for redmen and their wives
Offering hands an[Am]d twiddling thumbs               [F]
For dream[G]s that never come                 [Bb]
          [Am]           [F]                         [G]
Often sai[Am]d you better not look away you'll lose the day
The way[Dm] I see it
ItÕs already [Bb]lost            [Am]
So then be it [Dm]
They say   [Bb]
They're sharpening knives           [Am]
          [F]                            [G]
[Bb]And primitive lives for Redmen and their wives
Bread winner and klutz           [Am]
And losin[F]g it all before the[G] one eye shuts                [Am]
Well I see [Dm]it as paying t[Bb]he price                  [Am]
                Dn=m                      Bb
Nobody feels it these days

[Bb]Well I'd like to know   [F]
[C]Another way              [Bm]
[Bb]Did you notice tha[F]t
They're taking[C] back lives for Redmen just to    [Bm]
[Bb]Give them time to find the lig[Am]ht
And other [F]things that bind with pride [G]
[Bb]A killers waking up this time  [Am]
To hon[F]est gleam and needless pride   [G]
[Bb]We'll never see it shine    [Am]
We'll nev[F]er find the time          [G]

Crocker's Favorite Song

A--C

Everybody's got their hands up high
Everybody should be touching the sky
But you know you never never can go down
So you slow down
And you walk away
She says good morning to you
And you look away
She asks you just what to do
You don't know what to say
But what can be done
And what can be done for you
I'll tell you now
Where will you go
When nothing's laid out for you

[F]well the people they look at you       [Dm]              [C]

Wheels in motion [D]

Please go away no[D]w
[F]But do return[C]

Scissors  (From King Shit)

[A]All I ever want to have is
[F#m]She said no sir, just forget it
[B]A time to figure out
[D]Just what's goin' on
              [A]                 [F#m]

But it's not a bad thing
Bm               E                        Bm---E
But it's not a good thing

[A]All my life I've wanted scissors
[F#m]Not the kind that are so forgiving
[B]Cigar box eraser bits
[D]And that rusty tool

[E]Cover your eyes
The light is too bright        [F#m]
Your wise m[A]en they tell you lies                [E]
And what's[E] worse           [F#m]
they cur[A]se                   [E]
But stil[E]l
I l[F#m]ove the b[A]ite
But fli[E]es are maybe marked men    [F#m]
because they're attracted to[A] the light
They reali[E]ze
The night has come to baptize          [F#m]
and they will finally realize         [A]
and what's wor[E]se          [F#m]
It h[A]urts               [E]
But sti[E]ll they love t[F#m]he bite    [A]

And I [E]would like to die with you  [F#m]
I'd like to try b[B]ut I'm not suicide       [A]
And I wo[E]uld like to kill you      [F#m]
But that would suit you fin[B]e I realize                [A]
And I won't[E] disgrace myself           [F#m]
By chasing you aroun[B]d to pull you back                       [A]

And I will not give [E]in and hit you when        [F#m]
Before the fight beg[B]ins and its okay               [A]
E                                F
I'm over you
E                                F
I'm over you
[E]Cover your eyes
The ligh[A]t is too bright [E]

Please Freeze Me  (From King Shit)

It's h[F#]er again oh oh    [B]
She's a little distur[F#]bed again oh no           [B]
And I'm feeling down again[F#] so it goes              [B]
C[C#]ircling round like trouble a[Eb]nd toil
[Ab]A princess boiling milk
They thoug[C#]ht she was a witch
And when they poured it on her
She didn't melt       [B]
And I'll bear no guilt
It's h[F#]er again oh oh    [B]
She's a little disturbe[F#]d again oh no            [B]
And I'm feeling down again[F#] so it goes           [B]
[C#]Circling round like the juggler of[Eb] the stars
[Ab]The monster of the moon
It's h[C#]appening too soon                 [B]

Long Distance Man (From Sandbox)

Any other world that you live in
don't believe in second chance
Sell another dream he won't take it
so don't fake it when you dance

Cover up your eyes in these bad times for
the sad times passing years build another tower
for your freedom he don't need them shed no tears.
 for the long distance man.....

Indian Was An Angel

[E]Long time comin' to take my hand[F#m] away
[E]She says nothin' to take the pai[F#m]n away
[E]Somethin' about discussions in t[F#m]he cave
[E]Somethin' about a dream that can[F#m]'t be saved

            [B]                   [F#m]

And all the easy faces
[E]Running out of happy pla[A]ces
[G]Gone to the academ[F#m]y       [E]
[B]And plug each sonic lyre[F#m]
[E]Into the navajo amplifie[A]r
For us [G]to hear[F#m] and see  [E]

Little star went rollin' up the hill
Asked me to come and dance I said I will
There are the days of preparation still
Somethin's gonna happen on that hill

And all the summoned graces
Manifest in different places
There for us to see
And little star keeps sayin'
Indian was an angel prayin'
Come and patiently
For us ??also in we??
And save a place for me
