Graveyard Shift 03:40
lyrics
I work in the office every evening I work in the office late at night I work for the firm of Thorn and Harding The economic train is payload light An electric picture glows beside me Underneath the pulsing blade of light Information education forming Conversation entertainment waits I know why I don't know why Take me places I'll never be There is music on the phone recording A friendly voice says it will be alright The man who feeds on the disease is calling The man who steals is hiding out of sight I know why I don't know why Take me places I'll never be See the face but find no trace Mystery is everything

The Mad Psychologist 03:32
lyrics
Every day I drink my breakfast at the coffee shop Read my morning paper- I must keep on top I go home at half-past five The priest on Sunday says "be glad you're alive" I'm as happy as can be So every Thursday at three I must go see the mad psychologist In my life I do the same things both day and night There are times when I might feel they're not quite right This can scare me a great deal I don't feel my hands on the wheel I'm not sure of what will be So every Thursday at three I must go see the mad psychologist Oh, the things he says to me... And I'm married to my wife We will be together for life We're as happy as can be So every Thursday at three We must go see the mad psychologist Oh, the things he says to me I see our time's up, come back next week.

They Came To Save Us 06:45
lyrics
Here they come, prepare a place They've come to save the human race They bring us all they've ever learned They ask for nothing in return They've come to save us and show the way back to the garden of yesterday They'll take away all our suffering Watch as our fears blow away Kings and captains gathering to greet and welcome our new friends The loudest sound you've ever heard A thousand pictures, a million words Soon there was talk among the ranks Among foundations, boards, and banks The new world would need no gold exchange The leaders all warned us of sudden change Nothing more dangerous than sudden change They've come to save us and show the way back to the garden of yesterday They'll take away all our suffering Watch as our fears blow away Then one by one we understood what it would mean to be that good No reason left to fight and claim No profit to be gained from being all the same They've come to save us and show the way back to the garden of yesterday They'll take away all our suffering Watch as we blow them away They came to save us and show the way back to the garden of yesterday They take away all our suffering Watch as our fears blow away Now we go to outer space We go to save the human race We bring with us all we've ever learned There is no question- we can't return They came to save us... Save us...

Under the Sun 04:06
lyrics
I sit alone I sit and think of my home Under the sun There is an old song unsung I won’t wait for love to find me I was wrong before behind me Did I leave too soon to tell? Am I trapped inside this shell? So many ways The changes we choose each day I get confused They say you must win or lose I will wait for love to find me Everywhere I look it blinds me Memories may slowly fade More and more as they’re replayed So many ways The changes we choose each day I get confused They say you must win or lose I sit alone I sit and think of my home Under the sun There is a new song unsung Unsung...

Your Experiment 04:24
lyrics
I'm not sure how this began I'm not sure of anything at all But something is holding me from inside I can't see the light of day But there's a light shining in my eyes Now my heart's beating faster But I stay Now I don't wanna shame you I don't wanna blame you I don't wanna bring you down But I don't like living here in this cage And I don't wanna be a part of your experiment I don't wanna live inside of your design Now I'm sick to death of reacting to your stimuli Now let me go, now give me back my life I've never been anywhere Where someone around me didn't care But these people they look at me with lifeless eyes If you think that it's just a test You've been taken with all the rest What gives you the right to play with my mind Now if someone is greater Or something is higher They're wearing a brilliant disguise The stars look much different now- no surprise And I don't wanna be a part of your experiment I don't wanna live inside of your design Now I'm sick to death of reacting to your stimuli Now let me go now give me back my life

I Talk to the Wind 04:24
lyrics
Said the straight man to the late man Where have you been? I've been here and I've been there And I've been in between I talk to the wind My words are all carried away I talk to the wind The wind does not hear The wind cannot hear I'm on the outside looking inside What do I see Much confusion, disillusion All around me I talk to the wind My words are all carried away I talk to the wind The wind does not hear The wind cannot hear You don't possess me Don't impress me Just upset my mind Can't instruct me or conduct me Just use up my time I talk to the wind My words are all carried away I talk to the wind The wind does not hear The wind cannot hear Said the straight man to the late man Where have you been? I've been here and I've been there And I've been in between
