Saboteurs 03:31
lyrics

The cat of depression I was in a funk I was going in and out And in and out again I was shut down I was suffering There was nothing I could do Nothing that I could say When the saboteurs are in The way Toxic people Can bring you down Sometimes it seems like they’re The only ones around I watched the lightness Drift away I felt the gravity Of every single day When the saboteurs are in the way Where is she going When will she get there What is she doing Does she even care There was a lesson I had to learn Happiness you keep Is happiness you earn O Positive Come back to me Fill my heart and soul For all eternity When the saboteurs are in the way When the saboteurs are in the way When the saboteurs are in The saboteurs are in The saboteurs are in The way The way The way

Landscape 03:21
lyrics

In a sea of neurotics You have to write yourself Pull yourself up before you sink The only way that you can think It’s not easy that is true It’s not easy to be you Shine a beacon night or day Think them all out of your way The only way now to survive A master of the human mind What’s in place you’ll obey It’s easiest if you can say Exactly what you mean to do Don’t let the mindset cling to you Shake it off scrub off the plaque Disinfect and get your back It’s not easy that is true It’s not easy to be you Open wide Walk then ride Please be kind In the landscape of the mind It’s obvious we’re all at war Just know what you’re fighting for Who wants you to succeed The information that you need It’s not easy that is true It’s not easy to be you It’s all in front just take a look Get yourself down off the hook Open your eyes that’s all it took Who’s the pawn and who’s the rook Control the world from either side Innocence has up and dried You can see down on the plain Get your footing once again The tide has turned you’re in charge They all know you’re still at large It’s not easy that is true It’s not easy to be you Open wide Walk then ride Please be kind In the landscape of the mind Open wide Walk then ride Please be kind In the landscape of the mind

Zen Meditation 04:31
lyrics

Sometimes your mind plays tricks on you You forget about what you want to do You think you can’t try something new But forget about forget about it You stop and think about what was said Words float around inside of your head You think you’d rather stay safe in bed But forget about forget about it Do not think about it focus on the task at hand Life is after all just a zen meditation Do not think about it focus on the task at hand Life is after all just a zen meditation Sometimes things seem to be all wrong You wonder if you can hold on You start to think that you’re not so strong Just forget about forget about it Sometimes you think you cannot see Where it is you need to be You think you need divine prophecy But forget about forget about it Do not think about it focus on the task at hand Life is after all just a zen meditation Do not think about it focus on the task at hand Life is after all just a zen meditation You can understand it if you really try—don’t think about it You can understand it if you really try Don’t listen to what anybody tells you You’re the only one who controls your destiny Turn on tune in drop out is what they used to say Many years have come and gone but you can learn to live today Into the future the only place that you can go You want to move ahead everybody seems so slow Don’t lose your focus stick to what you know is true Everything will come together do the things you need to do —zen meditation Do not think about it focus on the task at hand Life is after all just a zen meditation Do not think about it focus on the task at hand Life is after all just a zen meditation

First you come to me you want to get it on Then you say to me babe you should move along I want to do away with everything I ever knew That’s the way I can get along with you Sex is sex and love is love And the anticipation of sex is not love That’s what I mean by The elimination of extraneous emotion You write to me when you have the time You think nothing of the things we did that night You pick me up and set me down in nothing flat Pay attention class ‘cause this is where it’s at Sex is sex and love is love And the anticipation of sex is not love That’s what I mean by The elimination of extraneous emotion All you want is gratification All you need is fascination All you want is gratification All you need is titillation Get off get off get off get off get off Get off get off get off get off get off Get off get off get off get off get off Get off get off get off get off Sex is sex and love is love And the anticipation of sex is not love That’s what I mean by The elimination of extraneous emotion The elimination of extraneous emotion

Mermaid 02:36

To be a mermaid and live in the sea Unchartered country where everything’s free No cares at all no shopping malls I’d eat seaweed that’s all I’d need To be a mermaid and live in the sea All of my friends would be here with me I’d talk to whales riding on their tails I’d pet the fish baby that’s my wish I’d fall in love with a dolphin And if he’d have me We’d swim off together And make little babies In the sea We are free To be a mermaid and live in the sea If you come looking well that’s where I’ll be It’s like floating on air let me take you there Hear the ocean waves hiding in my cave To be a mermaid To be a mermaid To be a mermaid

If I 03:22

I found my favorite place to be Lying on a fallen tree I think not of my ill-timed love Staring at the sky above I think not of the things I’ve done Lying in the April sun If I could stay here for all time Would it heal this heart of mine I have found my favorite place Gazing out on nature’s face I’ll pretend that I’m the tree While I lie there silently If I could find my faith again If I could find belief again If I could stay here for all time Would it heal this heart of mine Springtime come and cradle me Lying on this fallen tree Let me lie here let me dream Forget about what I have seen If I could stay here for all time Would it heal this heart of mine If I could stay here honestly Would my love return to me If I could stay here for all time Would it heal this heart of mine

I had a meeting at Zion A council of elders and me All around me was silence I felt the soul of the red rock in me Life passing through me transparent Locked into place heir apparent I took a drive in their country It’s what the Navajo told me to do Sat myself on a cold rock I am ready phase two Life in the circle unbroken All that they told me unspoken Young Goodman Brown she ran down Love is the word all around Young Goodman Brown she ran down Love is the word all around I am changing I am changed I am changing I am changed I am changing I am changed I am changing Young Goodman Brown she ran down Love is the word all around Young Goodman Brown she ran down Love is the word all around Young Goodman Brown she ran down Love is the word all around Young Goodman Brown she ran down Love is the word all around
