Can you see me Dancing in the light? Ah, you fill my soul With delight Well, I can't believe that I do What I do To you, and you do that To me too All I know is You've got me feeling alright Feeling alright It's a miracle The way you see me through It's a fairytale Dream come true Well, I can't believe that you see What you see In me! It scares me In my sleep I finally found My fantasy in you Fancy you Euphoria! Euphoria! Can you see me Dancing in the light? Ah, you fill my soul With delight Well, I can't believe that I do What I do To you, and you do that To me too All I know is You've got me feeling alright. Euphoria! Euphoria!

Great White Elephant 03:20
lyrics

Jack and Jill went up the hill and bought the farm What a thrill to find such treasures in the barn Enough to pay the rent and for the operation, too She may be breaking down, but look up, oh what a view Things have gotten better and they're getting better still Great white elephant on the hill There's been so many changes, so many comin still Great white elephant on the hill Jack be nimble, Jill was quick, she got her way "Idle hands are the Devil's work," they always say The pieces fall in place, now could you place it on my bill? We will build this house, this home upon the hill Things have gotten better and they're getting better still Great white elephant on the hill There's been so many changes, so many comin still Great white elephant on the hill

Plane Down On the Highway 02:17
lyrics
buy track
I can't remember Where I left my hat and coat I'm trying to figure out Why the fuse would overload I try to remember Then I try so hard to forget Cause the things that I remember I ain't quite figured out yet There's a plane down on the highway There's a plane down on the highway There's a plane down on the highway Yeah, well, that must be my ride I tried to warn her There she was with her Coke and fries But before I knew it There it was, before my eyes I tried to stop her I said, "Look up, don't look down!" Then she had her last meal Behind the wheel As the landing gear came down There's a plane down on the highway There's a plane down on the highway There's a plane down on the highway Yeah, well, that must be my ride There's a plane down on the highway There's a plane down on the highway There's a plane down on the highway Yeah, well, that must be my ride There's a plane down on the highway There's a plane down on the highway There's a plane down on the highway Yeah, well, that must be my ride

Cappuccino and Prozac 03:41
lyrics
buy track
I like the car I'm driving, Leather buckets suit me fine. It's like my second office, I'm on the road most all the time. I got my pocket calendar, my pager and my cellular, I got my cappuccino and my Prozac. It's all a matter of life and debt, I'll catch you on the internet, I got my cappuccino and my Prozac. I got my cappuccino and my Prozac. I like the life I'm living, I've got a place out in Ladue. I spend my days in Clayton, I spend my nights down at The Loop. I got my Windows '95, Oh, Lord, it's good to be alive! I've got my cappuccino and my Prozac. I'm right where I wanna be! I'm livin' in high society, I've got my cappuccino and my Prozac. I've got my cappuccino and my Prozac. It calms me down! Stocks and bonds, securities, Greasy palms and dirty knees, I've got my cappuccino and my Prozac. It's all a matter of life and debt, I'll catch you on the internet. I've got my cappuccino and my Prozac!

Screaming Across the Sky 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Can you hear it By and by? Life is screaming Across the sky Life goes quickly It goes so fast The life we're living Is now the past And the wheels of fortune They never have fallen on me Well, I keep on fighting And maybe someday I'll be free Screaming across the sky Can you feel it In the air? Sweet sensations In despair Lay me slowly Down to die Weeping willows And lullabies And the wheels of fortune They never have fallen on me I just keep on fighting And maybe someday I'll be free Screaming across the sky And the friends and the lovers The merchants and the lovers And the preacher lying there in the street They're gonna come out of their coffins Look up to the heavens And see Me screaming across the sky Can you see in- Side my head? Am I living Or am I dead? Mornings after Are sweet and dry Light the candles Burn the sky And the wheels of fortune They never have fallen on me I just keep on fighting And maybe someday I'll be free To be screaming across the sky

Sleep Through Paradise 04:56
lyrics
buy track
Where did you come from? Where did you hide? Keeping your sorrows Buried deep inside Can you imagine? Can you not see Visions of heaven Dancing before me? The pain is gone I know I can feel it now As the sun Shines through your eyes And every day The feeling of something new If I choose to sleep alone Will I sleep through paradise? Where did you come from? Where have you been? Lost in the darkness Of your world again Come hear the laughter Pain goes away Come feel the gentleness Of yesterday The pain is gone You know I can see it now As the sun Shines through your eyes And every day The feeling of something new If I choose to sleep alone Will I sleep through paradise? The pain is gone You know I can see it now As the sun Shines through your eyes And every day The feeling of something new If I choose to sleep alone Will I sleep through paradise?

Restless Worry 04:50
lyrics
buy track
Take a moment Step back And look at yourself Restless worry, Put your troubles On the shelf Block it out of your mind Rip it out of your soul Restless worry Don't let it Take control Maybe there's no garden Growing at your feet And maybe all the passion Gets lost within the heat And you may not live forever You might just fade away But you're looking at your future Through the eyes of yesterday Step back, Take a look at yourself Take your troubles Put them on the shelf Block it from your mind, Cast it out of your soul Don't let it take control Well you just can't find the answers Through prophecies untold And you're searching for your wisdom Down a dark and dusty road So you learn to laugh at failure You learn to hide the pain And you make those quick decisions Just to smell the sweet refrain Step back, Take a look at yourself Take your troubles Put them on the shelf Block it from your mind, Rip it out of your soul Don't let it take control No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Maybe there's no garden Growing at your feet And maybe all the passion Gets lost within the heat And you may not live forever You might just fade away But you're looking at your future Through the eyes of yesterday Step back, Take a look at yourself Take your troubles Put them on the shelf Block it from your mind, Rip it out of your soul Don't let it take control
