1. I Can't Help You
He wants to be me
And then another one
Just wants to see me
And everybody else
Say that they know me
Sometimes the bottom line
Tries to control me
I can't help you
I can't save you
I can't be your one and only friend
Someone who wants to hang
Tries to inflate me
When I don't go along
She wants to hate me
And when I give a smile
They want to take me
So I try to give
Some of the fake me
I can't help you
I can't save you
I can't be your one and only friend
And when its said and done
I want to leave it
But I can't seem get
Me to believe it
I want to help you out
But I ain't got it
You should have checked the price
Before you bought it
I can't help you
I can't save you
I can't even seem to save myself
I can't help you
I can't save you
I can't be your one and only friend
2. No Remedy
I read directions - I read the signs
For my protection I would resign
All around the island
I can see the crowd
Back into the middle
Where I could think out loud to myself
Chasing rainbow colors
Try to learn my name
I was never good at this game
No remedy - I'm not so bad
No comedy - I'm feeling bad
No felony - but I've been had
I dropped a package - began to shake
Nowhere to hide from the rattlesnake
Deep inside the island wrapped in cellophane
Trying to be normal
But I can't stand the pain in myself
Chasing rainbow colors
Try to learn my name
I was never good at this game
No remedy - I'm not so bad
No comedy - I'm feeling bad
No felony - but I've been had
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I don't know any monsters, no conspiracy
Even with the surface feeling slippery
And I think that I know you
At least to some degree in myself
Chasing rainbow colors
Try to learn my name
I was never good at this game
3. Nature
4. Nature's Girl
Eternity, infinity, morality in effigy
Conformity, conspiracy, minority in effigy
She lives in her own little dream world
She fell from the family tree
And wants to see how it will be in effigy
She... she is nature's girl
She's a mystery to all around her world
A refugee of poverty and rhapsody in effigy
With sorcery and decency
... Her chivalry in effigy
he'd like to be big as a mountain
Her life is as big as a sea
But bravery and mastery elude the key
... in effigy
She... she is nature's girl
She's the apple that was placed inside our world
5. Feeling
Once on a ride I was left in the forest
And the leaves and the wind
Seemed to carry me home
But when I arrived
It was long after morning
And the heat of the day
Left me standing alone
Voices calling...
I go falling in
Someone said, "Let's go!"
But it begins
And it seems like I've been here before
Leave me my red cherry wine
And I know I'll be doing just fine
Cause I'm keeping
This deep heart of mine from feeling
Long after dark I was left out there wandering
And I came across things I would never have seen
And once in a while I'd imagine a ray of light
And I'd think to myself,
"I might just make it out of this thing"
And when I awoke it was long after morning
And it seemed like a dream, but I knew it was real
Cause the glass had been broken
At the sound of a warning
And the truth became known
In the things I had tried to conceal
6. Reliving
Mr. Mr. of my youth
You fed me bread and taught me truth
And one adventure... you took me out
Showed what life is all about
I don't mind reliving
All the things about my youth
That made me high
I don't mind reliving
I was so much happier back then
Cinderella of my youth...
You made me smile and broke my tooth
And one adventure... you held my hand
Made me feel I was a man
I don't mind reliving
All the things that were so good
When we were young
I don't mind reliving
I was so much happier back then
7. The Jelly Jam
8. I Am The King
Sleep come to me
Take me where I want to be
And let me stay
Everything is far away
And for a moment its serene
And for a moment I control it
And I rule myself
Cause I am the king (of nothing)
I am the king
And dream away everything
That makes me pay
Safe from the world...
Of broken love and boy and girl
Cause no one else is coming after
9. The King's Dance
10. Under The Tree
Picture yourself in the shade of a tree
Alone in your thoughts but you're held by the breeze
With sand in your fingers and dirt in your hands
As you try your best to understand
Don't look at you and don't look at me
Don't hold on to what you think sets you free
Just sit and then end of the road
And begin to be still
Where could it be?
Under the tree
You look for a thread of what's true in the wind
As it passes and then disappears
And you're left there standing
To finally face all your fears
Under the tree... yeah
It might take a minute
It might fly away
You might have to come back
On some other day
But sooner or later
An answer will come
If you stay for a minute and see
The solitude nightmare
That once made you run
Is off in the distance...
Can't hurt anyone
And maybe there's something
To learn in the calm of the sea
