She Has Funny Cars
Every day I try so hard to know your mind
and find out what's inside you
Time goes on and I don't know just who you are
or how I'm going to find you.

You can do whatever you please
the world's waiting to be seized
You can collect all neglect
or all the self-respect you need, what you need.

And I know... and I know... and I know...

Your mind's guaranteed
It's all you'll ever need
so what do you want with me ?

We live but once
but good things can be found around
in spite of all the sorrow.

If you see black
You can't look back
You can't look front
You cannot face tomorrow.

Some have it nice
Fat and round, flash, paradise
They're very wise to their disguise
Trying to revolutionize tomorrow.

And I know... and I know... and I know

Your mind's guaranteed
It's all you'll ever need
So what do you want with me ?


Somebody To Love
When the truth is found to be lies
and all the joy within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love.

When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
and your mind is full of red
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love.

Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
but in your head baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love.

Tears are running ah running down your breast
and your friends baby they treat you like a guest
Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You better find somebody to love.


My Best Friend
Ah, you're my best friend
(You are my best friend)
and I love you so well
till the end of time you won't see me
Ah, you're my best friend
(You are my best friend)
when I see you, it seems
now I can see I've fallen into your love stream
I follow your dream
Do you know what I mean, yeah
I follow you wherever time will take me to
forever I'll be one with you
one with you
one with you.

Ah, you're my best friend
(You are my best friend)
and I saw that you're seein'
I'll set you free and just like me you'll be bein'
in love with me
Do you know what I mean, yeah
Do you know what I mean now
(Do you know what I mean)
I'm gonna set you free now
(Do you know)
You'll be in love with me
(Do you know what I mean)
You're my best friend now.

Ah, you're my best friend
(You are my best friend)
and I love you so well
till the end of time you won't see me
Ah, you're my best friend
(You are my best friend)
when I see you, it seems
now I can see I've fallen into your love stream
I follow your dream
Do you know what I mean, yeah
Do you know what I mean now
(Do you know what I mean)
You'll be in love with me now
(Do you know)
I'm gonna set you free, yeah
(What I mean)
Oh you're my best friend now.

Ah, you're my best friend...


Today
Today I feel like pleasing you more than before
Today I know what I want to do but I don't know what for
To be living for you is all I want to do
To be loving you it'll all be there when my dreams come true
Today you'll make me say that I somehow have changed
Today you'll look into my eyes, I'm just not the same
To be anymore than all I am would be a lie
I'm so full of love I could burst apart and start to cry.
Today everything you want, I swear it all will come true
Today I realize how much I'm in love with you
with you standing here I could tell the world what it means to love
To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enough
Please, please listen to me
It's taken so long to come true
and it's all for you
all for you....


Comin' Back to me
The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long
the winter looked the same, as if it never had gone
and through an open window where no curtain hung
I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me.

One begins to read between the pages of a look
the shape of sleepy music, and suddenly you're hooked
through the rain upon the trees, that kisses on the run
I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me.

You came to stay and live my way
Scatter my love like leaves in the wind
You always say you won't go away
but I know what it always has been, it always has been.

A transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh
Most of the time I just let it go by
now I wish it hadn't begun
I saw you, yes I saw you, comin' back to me.

Strolling the hills overlooking the shore
I realize I've been here before
the shadow in the mist could have been anyone
I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me.

Small things like reasons are put in a jar
whatever happened to wishes wished on a star ?
Was it just something that I made up for fun ?
I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me.


3/5 of Mile in Ten Seconds
Do away with people blowing my mind
Do away with people wasting my precious time
Take me to a simple place
where I can easily see my face
baby, baby I can see that you're fine
Know I love you baby, yes I do
Know I love you baby, yes I do.

Do away with people laughing at my hair
Do away with people climbing on my precious prayers
Take me to a circus tent
where I can easily pay my rent
and all the other freaks can share my cares
Know I love you baby, yes I do
Know I love you baby, yes I do.

Do away with things that come on obscene
like hot rods real clean real fine nicotine
sometimes the price is 65 dollars
Prices like that make a grown man holler
'specially when it's sold by a kid that's only 15
Know I love you baby, yes I do
Know I love you baby, yes I do
3/5's of a mile in 10 seconds...


D.C.B.A. 25
It's time we walked away
Set me free
I must move away
Leave you be...
Time's been good to us, my friend
Wait and see how it will end
We come and go as we please...
We come and go as we please...
that's how it must be.

Here in crystal chandelier, I'm home
too many days, I've left unstoned
if you doubt my happiness
what full pleasure feels in the Sun
Ah, don't you know I'm runnin' home...
Don't you know I'm runnin' home...
to a place to you unknown ?

I take great peace in your sitting there
Searching for myself, I find a place there
I see the people of the world
where they are and what they could be...

I can but dance behind your smile...
I can but dance behind your smile...
You were the world to me for a while.


How Do You Feel
Look into her eyes
Do you see what I mean
just look at her hair
and when she speaks, oh what a pleasant surprise.

How do you feel
just look at her smile
Do you see what I mean
She is looking our way
Oh, how I wish we could stay, just stay for a while
how do you feel.

When I meet a girl like that
I don't know what to say
but to meet a girl like that
Brightens up my day
my day, oh
how do you feel.

Just look at her walk
Do you see what I mean
She is coming our way
Oh, how my heart beats, I don't even think I can talk
How do you feel.

When I meet a girl like that
I don't know what to say
but to meet a girl like that
Brightens up my day
my day, oh
how do you feel.

How do you feel
Do you know how you feel
just look at her smile
(Tell me how do you feel)
Look into her eyes
(Tell me how do you feel)
She is coming our way
(Tell me how do you feel)
Look into her eye
(Tell me how do you feel)
She is coming our way
(Tell me how do you feel).


Embrionic Journey
strumentale


White Rabbit
One pill makes you larger
and one pill makes you small,
and the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
when she's ten feet tall.

And if you go chasing rabbits
and you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
when she was just small.

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
and you've just had some kind of mushroom
and your mind is moving low.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.

When logic and proportion
Have fallen softly dead,
and the White Knight is talking backwards
and the Red Queen's "off with her head !"
Remember what the dormouse said :
"Feed your head. Feed your head."


Plastic Fantastic Lover
Her neon mouth with the blinkers-off smile
nothing but an electric sign
You could say she has an individual style
She's part of a colorful time.

Secrecy of lady-chrome-covered clothes
You wear cause you have no other
but I suppose no one knows
You're my plastic fantastic lover.

Her rattlin' cough never shuts off
Is nothin' but a used machine
her aluminum finish, slightly dinimished
Is the best I ever have seen.

Cosmetic baby plugged into me
I'd never ever find another
I realize no one's wise
to my plastic fantastic lover.

The electrical dust is starting to rust
her trapezoid thermometer taste
all the red tape is mechanical rape
of the TV program waste.

Data control and IBM
Science is mankind's brother
but all I see is dranin' me
on my plastic fantastic lover.
