              A Girl I Knew             


                   She used to dance when she had the chance and the time 
                    it didn't matter
                   At the end of her night was an endless flight
                   While her head, it was lost in the laughter
                   
                   A girl I knew
                   Someone I used to talk to
                   When we'd meet in the middle of a room
                   A girl I knew
                   Her world a shade of blue
                   Someone I used to talk to
                   
                   She used to sing in the night while her ring
                   It would sparkle like burgundy wine
                   And the people stopped and starred but pretend 
                    she's not there
                   
                   She used to dance when she had the chance and the time 
                    it didn't matter
                   At the end of her night was an endless flight
                   While her head, it was lost in the laughter

              Foggy Mental Breakdown             
                   
                   
                   Hear me holler down the mountain side
                   I'm near the sky blinking at the evil eye
                   Hear me holler at the city's grind
                   It stole my soul just about lost my mind
                   
                   Let the loneliness roll in
                   Like the foggy mountain dew
                   Wipe the madness from my eye
                   'Till my anger slowly dies
                   When the shadow play begins
                   I'll be watching thru the night
                   'Till I find myself again
                   
                   Hear me holler cross the sea of light
                   It took my dream and smashed it 'gainst the night
                   Hear me holler at the town below
                   Got nothing left to make me stay and no place left to go
                   
                   Let the loneliness roll in
                   Like the foggy mountain dew
                   Wipe the madness from my eye
                   'Till my anger slowly dies
                   When the shadow play begins
                   I'll be watching thru the night

              Hippo Stomp             
 

                   If I should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody 
                    would know me
                   But if I don't believe I can and still say 
                    "Hear my plan"
                   Somebody would follow just because it's free
                   
                   We're all Hippos rollin' down the river
                   Sometimes we can't touch the ground
                   Like Hippos slidin' in the water
                   Somehow we're stompin' around
                   
                   If you should go astray and say "I lost my way" nobody 
                    will know you
                   But if you don't believe you can and still say 
                    "I'm your man"
                   Somebody will follow just because it's free
                   
                   We're all Hippos rollin' down the river
                   Sometimes we can't touch the ground
                   Like Hippos slindin' in the water
                   Somehow we're stompin' around
                   
                   Now you can see me lyin' down in my swamp
                   Any time I feel disgusted
                   You'll see me do the hippo stomp
                   
                   You stop and watch me while you're out on 
                    your midnite romp
                   And I can feel the silent question
                   What the heck is the Hippo Stomp?
                   
                   Hey! Hey! You should try it when you're feelin' blue
                   Let me answer you and let me tell ya true
                   Just how I feel when I'm down
                   Sometimes I wonder
                   You'll see me stumblin' around
                   But you just point and stare
                   Come on let me hear ya
                   Somewhere there's a voice down inside
                   And when you find it let it teach you how to ask 
                    the question "why"
                   Just because we live together
                   We don't have to like each other
                   So please don't fall asleep on me again
                   Nobody, nobody, nobody knows for sure
                   You just might never wake up from the dream
                   Hey! Speak up let me hear ya
                   Let me show you 'round the reservation
                   I know my way around these parts
                   I've lived here long enough
                   Now you can have a taste, an indication
                   Of things and times to come
                   Early in the morning, late at night
                   Somebody seems to know just how this thing work's right
                   'Cause every time I come around the corner somebody's 
                    looking out my door
                   He's been snoopin' like a hound
                   I'll grab his neck and shake him on down
                   
                   Now you can see me lyin' down in my swamp
                   Any time I feel disgusted
                   You'll see me do the Hippo Stomp

                   A long summer's day love

                   Humanity grew weary
                   Of it's doubtful state of mind
                   So it summoned from far and called from near
                   All the wise men thought to be sincere
                   To heal it's wounds and make it whole
                   And the lead the way back to the soul
                   
                   The charlatans they stayed behind
                   To count their bags of gold
                   And some stayed away as if to say
                   I know that my way's the only way
                   Afraid to learn they may be wrong
                   They preach their nothingness at home
                   
                   But the wise men came together with the hope to free man kind
                   Of the rubbish that had gathered in god's name
                   To embrace and trust each other in the search for the supreme
                   And they found that all their teachings were the same
                   
                   And when at last the word went round
                   That all were one and all
                   Many returned to seek the light
                   Nobody claimed that he was right
                   It's sad to know it's just a song
                   To dream and hope still can't be wrong
