Bolero 04:55
No matter how hard you try To be sweet as pie you will never conceal The color of fear No matter how hard you try To play these mind games You will never deceive a deceiver with a vale of tears Off the chain We’re up a gum tree Cudgel your brain We’re all at sea Off the chain We’re up a gum tree Cudgel your brain We’re all at sea We’ve put deceit And sneakiness In everything we do No matter how hard you try To box clever for peace of mind You will never gain a change of heart and heave in sight Off the chain We’re up a gum tree Cudgel your brain We’re all at sea Off the chain We’re up a gum tree Cudgel your brain We’re all at sea We’ve put deceit And sneakiness In everything we do

Swing448 04:23
Bright red colored leaves Days are getting longer Nature doesn’t wait For unresolved dreams Rope swing dancing in the wind Nights are getting stronger Silhouettes reveal A cinematic scene Craving Craving For the milk of human kindness A melody of lightness There’s a method to our madness For the milk of human kindness Isolation fog Jungle juice desire Nature doesn’t wait For undissolved screams Sweet salt shaker dance Nights are getting stronger Lonely body love Automatic love Craving Craving For the milk of human kindness A melody of lightness There’s a method to our madness For the milk of human kindness

Foxtrot 03:58
Foxtrot Zombified by an overload of information We stay in line Keep our heads down Paralyzed by anxiety We hold our breath We toe the line Keep our heads down Magnified by the media In the firing line Actions speak louder than words Amplified by your inner voice You stepped out of line And found the way To your inner strength Unified by communities of hope and love We climb the stairs Keep our heads high Modified by society A change of heart You set your sights ever so high Let’s pound the pavement For a highway of hope Let’s foxtrot Oscar out of here Free like a bird Free like a bird Free like a bird

We are dancing A soft autumn rain Whispering your name Leaves swirling down Cold as it is I wouldn’t leave Moon glints on the water Flowing down my thoughts Shimmering light beams Soften my pain Painting your name We are bound to be alone together We are bound to be alone together Running off course Strangers we are Little by little The vale of the years Caught us up

Trip the light fantastic Come, and trip it as you go On the light fantastic toe Come, and trip it as you go On the light fantastic toe

Cha Cha Bird 04:03
Cha Cha Bird Out there the world is formed into another shape, Out there our lives are changed to fit into smaller frames In here there is only you and me In here we breathe In here we live and shelter from the rain Long gone loved ones in my head Dancing the dream awake Long gone loved ones in my head Free from burden and pain Morning light Break of day Makes them flicker and fade away Ray of moon End of night Kissing them goodbye A dull sound Woke me up A bird has flown Out of the flock A sudden silence Woke me up A bird has flown Out of the flock
7.
Pavement Polka Time and tide waits for no one The children grow old Changing seasons of your life Everyone’s waiting, Waiting in the wings Soon we’ll be staging and waving goodbye Ring in my ears Watching the world go by Counting the years People passing by Ring in my ears Watching the world go by Counting the years People passing by Gone by Words in a box Under lock and key You’re shaking your head Try to reclaim your mind Everyone’s waiting, Waiting in the wings Soon you’ll be waving to strangers in picture frames Ring in my ears Watching the world go by Counting the years People passing by Ring in my ears Watching the world go by Counting the years People passing by Gone by

Pet Waltz 04:29
Pet Waltz Excuse me but We have to talk my dear humankind Since you’ve been here you made a mess of it all A mess, my dear humankind All we did was be there for you All we did was be kind All we did was be nice to you All we did was be your friend Look at those puppy eyes And Peanut turtle’s plastic coat And floating dead fish in the sea Dominant and impolite Ignorant and proud You might as well think big All we did was be there for you All we did was be kind All we did was be nice to you All we did was be your friend We’re the human race Superior and great We know what’s good for the world We’re the human race Superior and great We know what’s good for the earth We’re the human race Superior and great We know what’s good for you

Slow 04:08
Slow - The Antler King Trees waving bye Rustling goodnight To the trail of the wind Morning sun Foals running around To the beat of my heart Starling or thrush Show me the way to go home, To just flow, Obediently slow, To come closer to my heart Beautiful world Making me whole again Fluid and soft Like the sound of the rain I’m holding my own
