It Could Be Sunshine

You can get from here to there
By leaps and bounds or measured steps
You can make it dark or fair
Depending on your point of view
You can get a taste of the glory
By the ingestion of a simple truth
You can take a look around
See the outside, see the inside too
Are you on a road to nowhere?
Are you riding a train to Heaven or Hell?
Are you in search of somewhere
Or something that rings true?
Well it could be closer than you think
It could be closer than you think
It could be closer than you think
It could be closer than you think it is
Give me your sunshine again
You've left me in a mess
And when I fall I really fall
And that's when you go to my head my head
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
Give me songs and freedom
Give me love in every sense
Raise me up so high with you
All the cavemen fade away away
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
Walking on the sidewalk of life
Will only make you grey and sad
Lift me up so high so high
My lifes always in your hands your hands
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
It could be sunshine
My love for you won't last for one day
My love for you will last for two

Kundalini Express

This is an announcement
For the transcendental run
The train now standing
Leaves for higher planes
Due to a derailment
There will be no other train
So why not hop on this one?
Hear the porter's glad refrain
Each carriage is connected
As is every single train
The rails all form a track
Which is a link within a chain
The chain's connected to another chain now
You will need no ticket
If you wish to ride on this train
Chorus:
All aboard the express kundalini
All aboard the express kundalini
All aboard the express kundalini
The song is in your heart
Your heart is in the song
The song is of the earth
The song is of the sky
You are disintegrating
Into everything around
Reintegrating
The worm we dug from higher ground
You have let go of ego
Ego is no longer you
Closer to nirvana
Since the porters whistle blew
(chorus)

All In My Mind

Walk around so cold
So cold and lonely
Or lay in bed wondering what
To do with time
You've got no sense of fun
Until you know you've won again
And yet you feel so much
You feel so much inside
You want to rip all the
Jewels off all the idiots' backs so badly
You scream give me what I've always
Missed, give me a good time
But if you look into your mirror
You'll see that nobody has ever ripped you off
It's all in your mind
Her beauty can only ever be skin deep
But if I'm honest that's all I ever
Really need
So throw us some flowers and we'll
Give you some songs and sunshine
And if you give me an hour
I'll show you how you feel
Ohhh baby, ohhh I'm much too lazy
Ohhh it's all in my mind
So don't be unkind
It's all in my mind
It's all in my mind
Sometimes you really don't
Really don't really don't know
What I mean
Sometimes you really don't
Really don't really don't
Know what I need
I say I've got no sense of
Fun until I know I've won again
And how do you think yes how
Do you think that feels
So, just give me an hour
I'll show you how you feel
Ohhh baby
Ohhh I'm much too lazy
Ohhh baby
Ohhh it's all in my mind
So don't be unkind
It's all in my mind
(repeat till fade)

Life in Laralay

Dupes of a Disney
Frozen stiff
Lost in the Hollywood hills
Where dreams as real as Fredericks
Are sustained on air by pills
Where all the red that's in the world
Bleeds into all the blue
Where film stars leave their footprints
And failed stars join the queue
Everywhere's a backdrop
To a scripted play
A film show of a preview
Of life in laralay
Life in laralay
Life in laralay
Life in laralay
In Laralay the custom is
For cash to call the tune
Usually a cabaret song
Sung to a neon moon
Down below the fairy lights
Twink on in tinsel town
Where everyone's in showbiz
And snowmen kick the downs
The palm tree shaded billboards
Advertise the style
That makes this fair land what it is
A money making smile
That dazzles as it razzles
The diamonds from your soul
Leaving you with nothing
Life in laralay (x4)

Ball of Confusion

Words and Music - Norman Whitfield/Barrett Strong

Yin And Yang The Flowerpot Man

Under the wheel of the running train
Like a dog in the pouring rain
Diamond days cut and dry
But beauty in the hurricane's eye
Under fire under thumb
No golden hand no golden sun
Diamond days cut and dry
But beauty in the hurricane's eye
Chorus:
Beauty beauty beauty beautiful
Beauty beauty beauty beautiful
Alcohol is your yoga baby
Gonna call out my name
Then I'm gonna rain
All over you
All over you
Diamond days cut and dry
But beauty in the hurricane's eye
(chorus x2)

Love Me

Walking through the alleys
Working through your vanities
Here comes another lesson
The lesson is life
LOVE ME
Walking through the heavens
Walking with your devils
Here comes another lesson
The lesson you'll live
The lesson is life
LOVE ME
I'm only interested in paradise
I'm only interested in paradise
I'm only working working working
Working working working
Working so hard
I'm only interested in pure white light
I'm only interested don't want to fight
I'm only working working working
Working working working
Working working so hard
LOVE ME
(Repeat till fade)

All In My Mind (acoustic version)

Walk around so cold so cold so lonely
Or lay in bed wondering what to do with time
You've got no sense of fun
Until you know you've won again
And yet you feel so much
You feel so much inside
OHHHH
Her beauty can only ever be skin deep
But if I'm honest that's all I ever really need
So throw us some flowers
We'll give you some songs and sunshine
And if you give me an hour
I'll show you how you feel
Ohhh baby
Ohhh I'm much too lazy
Ohhh baby
OHHHH
You want to rip all the jewels off
All the idiots' backs so badly
You scream give me what I've always
Missed, give me a good time
But if you look into your mirror
You'll see that nobody has ever
Ripped you off it's all in your mind
Ohhh baby, ohhh I'm much too lazy
Ohhh it's all in my mind
So don't be unkind
It's all in my mind
It's all in my mind
OHHHH
OHHHH
OHHHH
OHHHH
Ohhh baby
Ohhh I'm much too lazy
OHHHH

An American Dream

And I was dreaming in my sleep
Saw through you all
And I was dreaming still on my feet
Saw through you all

And I saw what you could be
And you just don't feel free

And I saw what you could be
But you just won't be real to me

So let's blame this excess
On an American dream
So let's blame the success
Of an American dream

Are you confused by the chaos
In everyones wandering eyes
Do you dream of running naked
In warm rain
Are you confused by the chaos
It's no, it's no surprise
We all stand next to Jesus
Close to Satan we're both the same

These birds can't fly away away
These birds can't fly away

So let's blame this excess
On an American dream
So let's blame the success
Of an American dream (x4)

Feeling so high and low
It's the American dream (x4)

AMERICA
