evolution

i believe in evolution but sometimes there no solution things go round and round and round you know it kind of brings me down n down n down n down n down

the sun don't shine sometimes and the wind is cold uh huh
all that was new again goes back to being old
uh huh

mind and body

like a virgin
i was taken
down to play

(e)motion like a rubber band
carry me away

feel the body
know (touch) the mind

happy pop song

i heard you say
she's here but she's a million miles away
what's so great about this place?
i'd rather live in outer space yeh

we can't seem to get enough
we're all addicted to this material stuff
it rules our thoughts and spikes our dreams
do you know what i mean? well

i try to be illusive
to float up high above the ground but
i just can't escape the weight of
these things that are tying (bringing) me down

yeh i know
in the end it seems the only way to go
when i do my best
no one seems all that impressed
if you've got an empty cup
then why not try to fill it up?

the art of conversation

she says she cares but we all know she's lying
she dreams of ferris wheels and never dying

she tries to act like there is something to her
but the light you know it shines right through her

clothes are everything and style
and wealth and station
and saying nothing is the art
of conversation

an ordinary girl

she has gone to school for
almost 20 years
still her education is no match for her fear
doesn't wear much makeup
she has simple clothes
and she has simple secrets
she hopes you and i don't know

she has walked the streets in many different lands
and she can speak in tongues that you and i don't understand

but she finds she is kind of ordinary

she sees many things that i don't seem to see
and she is humble like the person i should be
she likes to look at flowers she could be your forest guide
she likes to look at mountains
but doesn't like to look inside

cause she finds she is kind of ordinary

i don't know why, you know it was strange
somewhere along the road i saw she wouldn't change
or couldn't change

she has seen the world yeh
she has looked around
but you know there's something
that she has never found

and she finds she is kind of ordinary

the rain

i think i will stay
now let's go to sleep
i won't make a promise
that I might not keep
how can someone know
there is no sure thing
how can someone know
what the future will bring

the rain must fall
the rain

it's fun to be happy
happy is good
but things have to change
as we knew they would
don't try to stop
what you can't contain
no need to look back
no need to explain

the rain must fall
the rain must fall

if we ignore the space between
for a while maybe we
can find some harmony

living's all we're living for
nothing less nothing more

and the rain must fall
