 Make  no illusion try to click with what you got
 Taste  every potion to see if you like yourself a lot
 Go  let it out
 Go  let it in
 Go  let it out
 Life  is precocious in the most peculiar way
 Sister  psychosis don't got a lot to say
 She  go let it out
 She  go let  it in
 She  go let it out
   Is there any wonder  why princes  and kings
   And clowns that caper  in their sawdust  rings
   Ordinary people  that are like you  and me
 We're  the builders of their  destiny
 We're  the keepers of their  destiny
 I'm  gonna leave in the city I'm gonna drive him out of town
 And  you're coming with me the right time is always now
 So  go let in out
 An'  go let it  in
 An'  go let it out
 WHO FEELS LOVE?

 Found  what I lost inside
 My  spirit has been purified
 Take  a thorn from my pride and
 Hand  in hand we'll take a walk outside
 Thank  you for the sun, the one that shines  on everyone
 Who  feels love
 Now  there's a million years between my fantasies  and fears
 I feel  love
 Leaving  all that I see
 Now  all my emotions fill the air I breathe
 Now  you understand hat this is not  the promised land they spoke of
 Theres  nothing more to be if you could  be the remedy who  heals love
 Thank  you for the sun, the one that shines  on everyone
 Who  feels love
 Now  there's a million years between my fantasies  and fears
 I feel  love
 Thank  you for the sun, the one that shines  on everyone
 Who  feels love
 Now  there's a million years between my fantasies  and fears
 I feel  love
 PUT YER MONEY WHERE YER MOUTH IS
 Put  yer money where yer mouth is
 Your  momma said that you was  real
 Put  yer money where yer mouth is
 Your  momma said that you was  real
 Ready  or not
 And  come what way
 You  bet youre going down for judgement  day
 So  put yer money in yer mouth  and hands right up on the wheel.

 LITTLE JAMES
 Little  James
 We're all the same
 Always  seem to look to us
 We werent meant to be grown ups
 Thank  you for your smile
 You make it all worth while
 To  us
 Live  for your toys
 Even tho they make noise
 Have  you ever played with plasticine
 Even tried a trampoline
 Thank  you for your smile
 You make it all worthwhile
 To  us
 I'm  singing this song
 For  you and yer mom
 And  thats all
 It  wont be long,
 Before  everyone is gone
 Sailed  out to sea
 Yer mom you and me
 You  swam the oceans like a child
 Laughed aloud just once a while
 Thank  you for your smile
 You make it all worth whle
 To  us
 I'm  singing this song
 For  you and yer mom
 And  thats all
 It  wont be long
 Before  everyone is gone

 What  tone is ???? secret through my curtains
 Sailing on a sea of sweat on a stormy night
 I think he don't got a name but i can't be certain
 And in me he starts to confide
 
 That  my family don't seem so familiar
 And my enemies all know my name
 And if you hear me tap on your window
 You  better get on your knees and pray
 Panic  is on the way
 
 
 
 
 My  ??????
 My eyes are dead and my thoughts like a big black hole
 And if there's a god would he give another chancer
 An hour to sing for his soul
 
 'Coz  my family don't seem so familiar
 And my enemies all know my name
 And if you hear me tap on your window
 You  better get on your knees and pray
 Panic  is on the way
 WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG?
   You know that feeling you get
   You feel your older than time
   You aint exactly sure
   If you've  been around a while
   Do you the reciepts
   For the friends that you buy
   And aint it bitter sweet
 You're  only just  getting by
 But  I hope you know
 That  it wont let go
 It  sticks around with you until the day  you die
 And  I hope you know
 That  its touch and go
 I hope  the tears dont stain the world that  waits outside
 Where  did it all go wrong?
 
   And until youve repaid
 
   The dreams you've bought for your lies
   You'll be cast away
 Alone  under stormy  skies
 Alone  under stormy  skies
 CHORUS x 3
 SUNDAY MORNING CALL from STANDING ON THE SHOULDER OF GIANTS
 Here's  another sunday morning  call
 You  hear yer head a bangin' on the door
 Slip  your shoes on and then out you  crawl
 Into  a day that couldn't give you  more
 But  what for?
 And  in your head  do you feel
 What  you're not supposed  to feel
 And  you take what you  want
 But  you don't get it for  free
 You  need more time
 'Coz  your thoughts and words won't  last forever  more
 But  I'm not sure if  it'll ever work  out right
 But it's ok
 It's alright
 When  your lonely and you start  to hear
 The  little voices in your head  at night
 You  will only snip away the  tears
 So  you can dance until the morning  light
 At  what price?
 And  in your head  do you feel
 What  you're not supposed  to feel?
 And  you take what you  want
 But  you won't get hope for  free
 You  need more time
 'Coz  yer thoughts and words won't  last forever  more
 And  I'm not sure
 If  it'll ever ever  ever work out  right
 If  it'll ever ever  ever work out  right
 Will  it ever ever  ever work out  right
 I CAN SEE A LIAR from STANDING ON THE SHOULDER OF GIANTS
