In the Meantime...
One of my life goals is to drive through the Arizona desert... With the top down and the wind in my hair, we drive... Twenty minutes pass by, and not one car appears on the horizon... not one indication of another being's presence.  The deep blue sky and flat landscape fill the windshield, and dirt and sky is all we can see for miles around us.  The music plays and surrounds us as the earth surrounds us.  The four of us... The sun, the sky, the wind, the sound, the motion and the space are one in being, belonging to this moment.  Only this moment.  We are silent... awestruck and at a loss for words... and the music plays...

All of a sudden the spell is broken and we belong to ourselves again.  The brief enlightenment is no more and shall never be spoken of... never acknowledged.  For it belongs only in the moment.  We look at each other and laugh, pretending nothing has happened even though we are not the same people we were when we started our journey.  The music still plays, but the solemnity has left us and we begin to sing.  We sing as a tribute to all that we have discovered... as a tribute to ourselves... And we sing...

The sun is up
I�m so happy I could scream!
And there's nowhere else in the world I�d rather be
Than here with you
It's perfect
It's all I ever wanted
I almost can't believe that it's for real

I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile and a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
Birds sing we swing
Clouds drift by and everything is like a dream
It's everything I wished

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again?
I know we should!

The sun is up
I�m so fizzy I could burst!
You went through and me headfirst
Into this is perfect
It's all I ever wanted
It feels so big it almost hurts!

chorus

Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
It will always be like this
Forever and ever and ever...

chorus
Spacehog
In the Meantime

And in the end we shall achieve in time
The thing they call divine
When all the stars will smile for me
When all is well and well is all for all
And forever after
Maybe in the meantime wait and see

We love the all the all of you
Our lands are green and skies are blue
When all in all we're just like you
We love the all of you

And when I cry for me I cry for you
With tears of holy joy
And did I ever say I'd never play
Or fly toward the sun
Maybe in the meantime, something's gone

chorus

Well that sounds fine so I'll see you sunshine
Give my love to the future of the humankind
Okay, okay, it's not okay.
While it's on my mind there's a girl that fits the crime
For a future love dream that I'm still to find
But in the meantime.

chorus
Better Than Ezra
King of New Orleans

There's an angel on the stairs
As if you'd even care
When the lights go up,
and the sun has nearly gone down.

Did you see him on the street?
Did you pass him at your feet?
Did you think aloud,"how dare they
even look me in the eye'?

And he loves the girls.
And he loves the boys.
Gonna make twenty dollars
'fore the weekends over.

So set him up,
Let him fall.
Turn him over in your hands.
God save the King of New Orleans.

Got a ticket to a show.
Gonna see him take a blow.
When the drunk one said,
"Cat Stevens was the greatest singer!"
The Refreshments
Banditos

Just how far down do you want to go
We can talk it out over a cup of joe
And you can look deep in my eyes
Like I was a super-model
Uh huh

It's just you and me baby
No one else we can trust
We'll say nuthin to no one
No how or we'll bust
Never crack a smile or flinch or cry
For nobody
Uh huh

So give your ID card to the border guard
Your alias says you're Captain Jean Luc Picard
Of the United Federation of Planets
Cause they won't speak english any ways

Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
We'll divvy up there
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So I got the pistol
So I get the Pesos
That seems fair

We'll put the sugar in the tank of the sheriff's car
We'll slash the deputy's tires
And they won't get very far
When they finally get the word that there's been a hold-up
Uhuh

chorus

That seems fair
And did you kick him in the head?
Did you see the blood run down?
Did you laugh at all when the
people walked right by and said aloud,
"You gutter punks are all the same.
"Gonna make twenty dollars 'fore the weekends over."?

chorus

Radio in my head.
Radio in that car.
Going down again,
he's going down again....

Anyway you look, anyway you talk it over.
It's easier to let it slip out of your mind.
But it rips your heart out.
Then it kicks your head in.
Just give him one more chance,
try to see the beauty in his world.
All the way in on my hands,
In on my feet and shoulders.
Gonna to make twenty dollars
'fore the weekends over.

chorus

God save the King of New Orleans.
