Welcome inside allow your mind To roam, to roam At first it seems that are free Unknown, unknown Please take me home for a while For I have missed the Delta by a Nile 13th floor elevator take me home It’s rad trad dad I’m a love-sick lad Yumina yumia, yumm maya Over the sea the worlds spinning It shows, It shows Once you have seen through yourself And you know that you’re everybody else The 13th floor elevator will take you home.

Darling, why don’t you write me? I am out in jungle swingin’ vines to you Please don’t worry I am not the angry boy who you once knew So please don’t worry I don’t wanna fight Now that you’re out of my life You knew me, you knew me Now I know they’re not real All these voices in my head are not true But they seem to convince me That you’re not the trusting person I once knew So please don’t worry I don’t wanna fight Know that you’re out of my life You knew me, you knew me Kisses for you, kisses for you And me.

Big In Japan 04:44
The land of the rising sun it calls me I must head across the sea You can keep your Venice in Italy It’s Osaka in Japan for me Well shiranu ga hotoke Oh shiranu ga hotoke Maybe it is better not to know I’m sorry girl I have to let you go She knows I’m a loner But I’m big in Japan She knows I wouldn’t have no other So I keep both of my feet in the sand Well shiranu ga hotoke Oh shiranu ga hotoke Maybe it is better not to know I’m sorry girl I have to let you go She told me that she loved me, I told her I had to go away To get home, to that island, I tried, and I tried but I just could not say I love you, I guess I loved you, but did I love you More than yesterday? I’m coming home.

Astrofriend 03:35
So long Earth and with it my honey Blasting off my Astrofriend and me Set a course for a moon up in the stars Riding comets into crab nebulas Black holes, nowhere to go Well go somewhere, get lost in space I hope I will forget this place my Star Child Brighter than a million suns in the sky As supernovas pass us by The universe doesn’t seem so small When is swallows you ship and all Black holes, nowhere to go Well go somewhere, get lost in space I hope I will forget this place my Star Child Back on gravity, in my home galaxy She’s in her pod with someone new And now my Milky Way is milky-blue Black holes, nowhere to go Well go somewhere, get lost in space I hope I will forget this place my Star Child.

Bikini Atoll 02:40
Oh well hello there, the surf is up I see Out on the island, we call it Bikini But I’m sure you’ll drown We can’t go swimming now We’ll take the frown And turn it upside-down There was no option, a motion-colour film Bikinians left, so we blew up a hill But it’s different now And no one is around The testing’s loud It’s the nuclear sound Bikini Atoll, nothing gets old Bikini Atoll, war is cold I wouldn’t want to, ever head back there soon There was a fall-out we left the lagoon But it’s different now And no one is around The testing’s loud It’s the nuclear sound Sometimes I wonder, just if I’m having fun And if I’d ask them, they’d say keep out of the sun But I’m sure you’ll drown We can’t go swimming now We’ll take the frown And turn it upside-down Bikini Atoll, nothing gets old Bikini Atoll, war is cold. Let's go catch those waves, boys!

Come clean, and gravity Throws me to the ground To the ground Oh Natalie, your jealousy No need to tell me Out rightly I can’t stop loving you No matter what I’ve tried to do I find it strange and don’t know why So many people live to die Unconsciously, reality Seems unnatural Unnatural With sun spinning, bright orange shining You hardly know me But told me There’s no one waiting at my home So come on over we’ll get stoned This thought have never crossed my mind So I left without saying goodbye Clouds and daisies Laying chains A place where no one Dies again Come clean, from your dream A burning spastic Sarcastic And Natalie, still jealously She comes so easily So easily You know that I can’t stop loving you No matter what I’ve tried to do I find it strange and don’t know why So many people live to die.

Would you like to come see what I’ve been up to? Built a house in the sun, there’s room for everyone! Take out your brain; let’s have some fun Board games built out of bubble-gum Track out back let’s go for a run And we’ll do whatever you want to Envision it and it exists You feel down, but you’re turning around Tune out your doubts For one minute Would you like to come see what there is to do? Pink elephants on the run, coming out of raindrops from the sun! We can laugh, jump, and play I’ll be prince, you’re princess for the day Come on friend let’s float away And we’ll do whatever you want to Envision it and it exists You feel down, but you’re turning around Tune out your doubts For one minute I know, times slow It’s hard but you’re not alone I know, times slow It’s hard having fun I know And we’ll do whatever you want to Envision it and it exists You feel down, but you’re turning around Tune out your doubts For one minute.

Take me down, Chinatown Take me round and show me how to look Chinese Whispers in my head And some Zen in little Red Books There she goes, goose-steppin’ toes Looking to turn around Oh what a terrible thing To know everything Crying out, “Oh my God!” Jesus Christ, and the Holy Son Didn’t mean to offend I need friendship just as much as you There I go, Chairman Mao’s clothes Looking to shop around Oh what a groovy thing I know nothing Holy cow! Chairman Mao Even though I’m not as scary as he looks In the year of the horse Well of course I did anything for you There she goes, goose-steppin’ toes Looking to turn around Oh what a terrible thing To know everything.

What time is it I’m not sure My watch fell off back in the sand I’ll pull you close oh baby We’ll find ourselves some dryer land Just remember that you’re not the girl I came here with And I’m sure she’ll get upset if it’s you I’m seen here with We’re in love along this shoreline And love is just a beach It’s not my fault our dingy Ran aground upon a rock And there’s one thing that this old salt knows We can’t swim back to a dock So my baby don’t you look at me with that hunger in your eyes Just remember it’s either you or me that’s leaving here And if push gives way to shove I’m sure you’ll taste so dear Feeling full along this shoreline I’m in love along this shoreshine And love is just a beach.

Samsara 04:19
Thoughts can seem to keep Much company alone You looked scared to me Uncomfortably alone You ought to know Samsara Please turn on with me Float down the stream of mind Tune in galaxies Finish your tea on time You ought to know Samsara Thoughts don’t seem to teach A mind to speak, oh no Now you look at me Quite comfortably and know

Nice boy makes friends Gets girl and lives out all his plans So far, so good Sorry ma’am we’ve done the best we could She won’t talk now Won’t even acknowledge from her brow Boy’s gone, bye-bye Strung out on a rain cloud trying to hide When Granny takes a trip It’s funny, ha-ha Can’t be bothered la-dee-da Hey man, cool song Make sure it doesn’t go to long Recap the verse So they can tell which chords come first Let’s dance on the floor Pick you up for the sock-hop at your door Oh Granny You seem like the girl who doesn’t like peaches and cream And your rain it falls in Spain if you know exactly what I mean But the dogs will get upset, and the hounds begin to moan But all I really wanna do is try and take you home This party’s so rad The guy I tried to fight is rad Let’s kiss, make-up I’ll hold your hair when you throw up.
