Dippin' Dots

I ain't gonna lie, she didn't have to try too hard to catch my eye
I don't know how she came about but I don't mind
The way she moves about is so damn fine
If it were up to me, well, she'd be mine.
It was just like a dream
She was eating dippin' dot ice cream
The look in her eye, oh what a sight
It was just like a dream
She was eating dippin' dot ice cream
The look in her eye, has got me feelin' so high
It was a cloudy day, we spent the whole day hanging in the shade
The music it just seemed to float away.
We sat there in the park and talked for awhile
I could not look away when she smiled
It was just like a dream
She was eating dippin' dot ice cream
The look in her eye, oh what a sight
It was just like a dream
She was eating dippin' dot ice cream
The look in her eye, has got me feelin' so high

I'll Take it Easy
03:43

Well, I send my worriedness to you my friend, let's not pretend.
You like to be, now let's agree, alone, that's right, I told you so.
I'll take it easy once you go away.
I can't guarantee that you'll surely be happy.
I can tell you're feeling well.
But not for long, til things go wrong.
You like to shout, just sit and pout.
You'll write those songs no one cares about.
I'll take it easy once you go away.
I can't guarantee that you'll surely be happy.

Sunday night, thinkin' about the rhythm.
I see your light, thinkin' about the way you say
"come my way, feel the boogie-woogie rhythm. Put your hand in mine, let's groove tonight."
Monday morning, still thinkin' about the rhythm.
You still feel right, thinkin' about the way you are
In my mind, still groovin' to the rhythm
If I'm thinkin' right, you felt like dynamite.
Listen girl, are you thinkin' about tomorrow, or just tonight?
Thinkin' about the way you are in my dreams
Still groovin' to the rhythm
A moving girl, casting moonbeams.
Oh, you're locked inside my head
You're swingin' by a thread
Your hangin' in my head
In my head

Take a Stroll
04:20
|
|||

I am a man and I surely can't
understand all the things that I do.
It's not what I thought, and now I'm looking lost.
Oh man, how does it work?
I feel okay but it's not the same way
I'm in a bind, I don't mind, I don't mind
Oh no, where to go, what to say everyday
I'll take a stroll down the road all alone.
It's just the start but I'm still in park
I can't seem to get up on my toes.
I'm laying in the mud, I'm stuck in the sludge.
Maybe it'll pick up, pick up soon.
I feel okay but it's not the same way
I'm in a bind, I don't mind, I don't mind
Oh no, where to go, what to say everyday
I'll take a stroll down the road all alone.

If Ur Feelin' Lonely
03:36
|
|||
|
My back begins to bend
From developing another trend
Because of everything in this world
My head's spun on a twirl
And if you're feelin' lonely, or if you think you're feelin' blue, it's okay to be lonely, it only means you're human too.
Jammed up against the wall
i'm no longer feeling tall
When I pick myself up, up from the ground
I hope there's something I can say that I've found
And if you're feelin' lonely, or if you think you're feelin' blue, it's okay to be lonely, it only means you're human too.
And if you're feelin' lonely, or if you think you're feelin' blue, it's okay to be a little bit lonely, it only means you're human too.

Green veins
Here to stay
Commence decay
But don't delay
You're on the right track, it's holding you back.
Oh, what you'd give to find a different way to live
It's not what I planned
My body don't understand
What's become of me
Or what I'm bound to be
I feel
I'm sitting still
I want to move
But it won't be soon
You're on the right track, it's holding you back.
Oh, what you'd give to find a different way to live
It's not what I planned
My body don't understand
What's become of me
Or what I'm bound to be

Girl, we never had the chance
I don't think you understand
Just what I felt with you
Girl, You lead me the wrong way
I thought you'd surely stay
Now, i'm just left behind
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhhh
Girl, why don't you stick around but
Damn you shut me down
And now I'm all alone
Girl, I'll send you on your way
Now things are looking grey and,
Hello, bye bye bye

Everybody Wants
04:43
|
|||
|
Everybody wants to be the best, everybody wants to pound their chest.
Everybody just wants to be known, they all wanna sit on top of the thrown.
Everybody wants to be the best, everybody just wants to be blessed.
Nobody wants to be alone, nobody wants to answer the phone.
Why's everybody gotta be on top?
I don't know, I think it's gotta stop.
Why can't you just sit there satisfied?
Are ya scared it'll leave ya teary-eyed?
Why's everybody want to be adored?
Oh man, you should be craving something more.
Why can't you just sit there satisfied?
Are ya scared it'll leave ya teary-eyed?
Everybody's got something to say, everybody's gotta have their way.
Everybody's singing monotone, but still they all wanna hold the microphone. Everybody just wants to be heard, but they don't say a single word, everybody wants to hear their name but, I'll just be sitting in the window frame.
Why's everybody gotta be on top?
I don't know, I think it's gotta stop.
Why can't you just sit there satisfied?
Are ya scared it'll leave ya teary-eyed?
Why's everybody want to be adored?
Oh man, you should be craving something more.
Why can't you just sit there satisfied?
Are ya scared it'll leave ya teary-eyed?

Lalalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalala
Why can't I understand you?
You always seem to turn away.
Babe, why can't I comprehend you?
I can not wait another day.
It's so sad that things went bad.
I struggle to say that I've gone away.
Believe it to be true that I want to
understand you.
Lalalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalala
Why can't you feel the way that I do?
You always seem to misconstrue
Babe why can't I apprehend you?
Your head is lookin' loose, give it a screw.
It's so sad that things went bad.
I struggle to say that I've gone away.
Believe it to be true that I want to
understand you.

Bitter Zest
03:13
|

Bitter Zest, Bitter Zest, sourness sits with the rest.
Why have you not discovered your best?
It lies within your familiar nest.
Bitter Zest, Bitter Zest some things are hard to express.
If you by chance don't properly rest, Bitter Zest will surely infest.
Success, Success, oh lord, I am a mess.
Please give me a second chance
Bitter Zest, Bitter Zest, I do not know the feeling of stress.
If it all comes down on my head, just know some things are difficult to digest.
Bitter Zest, Bitter Zest, my waking life put to the test.
It's not within my self interest. My friend, what do ya suggest?
Success, Success, oh lord, I am a mess.
Please give me a second chance
Success, Success, oh lord, I am a mess.
Please give me a second chance
Success, Success, oh lord, I am a mess.
Please give me a seventh chance

On a Sunny Day
04:08
|
|||
|
Hit the hay on a sunny day
Leave the world and simply hide away
Everything seems to be a different shade of grey
Passing through a different state
That's where my happy feelin's cultivate
Please someone help me now, help me evaporate
Back into the sky to obliterate.
Up above the big white clouds
I no longer hear my thoughts aloud
Oh yeah it feels good
Don't even have to doubt
When the sky splits in half
Everyone wakes up for a photograph
But I don't care now
I just sit and laugh
I'll simply put another record on the phonograph
And when it all starts to fade
I no longer have to feel the pain
But it gets tricky now
I don't get to explain
But I've gone away and it's okay
and its okay
and it's okay
and it's okay
and it's okay
