Cream-colored dreams, red sunrise It's not what it seems, no long goodbyes The world is turning, it’s time to go home Be ever humble... On Pismo Beach On Pismo Beach Let your life flow, one with the sea Fair-weathered friends won’t help you Blow cosmic winds, obscure my view The sky is crying, rain down tears of joy Be ever blissful... On Pismo Beach On Pismo Beach Let your life flow, one with the sea Poetic, psychedelic Cool ocean breeze You’re never far or out of reach You can be found On Pismo Beach On Pismo Beach Let your love flow, one with the sea On Pismo Beach On Pismo Beach On Pismo Beach Let your life flow, one with the sea

Aural Illusion Aural Illusion What you hear is what you get It’s an aural illusion Take a seat there’s so much to learn here Your mind tells you you’re hearing things Draw your own conclusion Close your eyes there’s nothing to see here But there’s something to hear And it’s magic to my ears Yeah there’s something so clear It’ll bring you close to tears Aural Illusion Aural Illusion Take a trip through inner space It’s an aural illusion Free your mind there’s so much to feel here If your style is visual Find your own solution Move along there’s nothing to see here But there’s something to hear And it’s magic to my ears Yeah there’s something sure to please It can bring you to your knees If you can believe that music is love Then you’ll understand the meaning of Aural Illusion Aural Illusion What you hear is what you get

Solar Fields 04:03
Lay by my side In the solar fields Your arms open wide In the solar fields With the sun on your face You will never be afraid In the bright glowing light You can’t fail ​You can always confide In the solar fields Let your conscience be your guide In the solar fields With the sun on your face You will never fade away In the bright glowing light You won't fail Lay down your pride In the solar fields Let your conscience be your guide In the solar fields The solar fields The solar fields Solar fields

Take me down the road I’m bound to follow Take me down the road I’m bound to follow You say you have an easy day tomorrow So take me down the road I’m bound to follow Take me all the way We can leave today Take me down the road I’m bound to follow Take me down the road I’m bound to follow You say you have an easy day tomorrow So take me down the road I’m bound to follow Take me all the way We can leave today Time to explore Open up the door ​Take me down the road (Follow) Take me down the road (Follow)

For weal and for woe For weal and for woe Above and below For weal and for woe ​The hills and the plains We all know their names Our lives ebb and flow For weal and for woe Gone are the days that came before Weal and woe ​For weal and for woe For weal and for woe For weal and for woe

L.A. County 04:13
Long dark hair and tempting amber eyes She broke through the mist like moonlit skies I picked her up in L.A. County She was born in L.A. County On the outskirts of L.A. County She will spend her life there Windswept days and stone cold nights I’ve seen She came to me as if in a dream I’m going back to L.A. County She is waiting in L.A. County On the outskirts of L.A. County We will live our lives here I picked her up in L.A. County (on the run) Hitchin' a ride in L.A. County (desert sun) On the outskirts of L.A. County We will spend our lives here Gonna stay in L.A. County (all our days) Settle down in L.A. County (find our way) On the outskirts of L.A. County We will live our lives here L.A. County L.A. County L.A. L.A. County

Skywriting 04:07
Sat down to write a song, here it goes I’ll pull notes right out of the clear blue sky I suppose I’ll search the stars above and below Wonderin’ where I will find inspiration Words don’t flow But I’ll try to do my best Hope my muse will do the rest It’s like magic when songs appear, I confess Guess I’m just Skywriting, yeah I’m just Skywriting Out of thin air, precious and rare I am a vehicle on this cosmic ride Beamed down from heaven or some strange place Deep inside Music rings vapor trails ‘round my soul How else can I explain how it feels to be whole And I’ll try to do my best Ask my muse to do the rest It’s like magic when songs appear, I feel blessed Ohh Skywriting, yeah I’m just Skywriting Out of thin air, precious and rare Ohh Skywriting, Ohh Skywriting Out of thin air, precious and rare Skywriting Skywriting (From the stars above, to the ground below) Skywriting Skywriting (Music in my heart, music in my soul)

You find yourself Inside your mind You find yourself Inside a dream, a dream You can journey through your life You can see through your mind's eye Your mind’s eye You find yourself Inside a cloud You find yourself Within a dream, a dream You will journey through your life You will see through your mind's eye Your mind’s eye You find yourself inside a cloud You find yourself within A dream A dream A dream

Kingsville 04:29
Don’t go down to Kingsville You never know what you’ll find there If you’re going Heed the path you take Roads creep into Kingsville Yet they lead you nowhere If you’re going Don’t you lose your way this time Oh, I wish you well though it’s unclear Why you would go Lest you cannot find what you want here It’s only a short walk to Kingsville, Kingsville ​If you’re going Heed the path you take ​And I wish you well but it’s unclear Why you would leave If you cannot find what you want here It’s only a short walk to Kingsville Oh, I wish you well though it’s unclear Why you would go Lest you cannot find what you need here It’s only a short walk It’s only a short walk to Kingsville, Kingsville It’s only a short walk It’s only a short walk to Kingsville, Kingsville

Same Sky 04:39
Walking under the same sky With you on the other side of the world Walking under the same blue sky As you Walking under the same sky With you in another part of the world Walking under the same blue sky As you But I can’t see you I can’t see you I wish that I could hold you But I can’t even see you right now Walking under the same moon The light shining down on us through the dark Walking under the same bright moon As you But I can’t see you I can’t see you I wish that I could feel you But I can’t even see you right now Walking under the same sky With you in another part of the world Walking under the same blue sky As you But I can’t see you I can’t see you I wish that I could be with you But I can’t even see you Right now, Right now

I lay in bed And watch the world spin round and round Voices in my head They make an eerie sound My home is one big hideaway My room is one big hideaway I feel safe with the lights down low Time ticks away Don’t have the strength to go outside So here I’ll lay The covers pulled up high My bed is one big hideaway My drugs are one big hideaway I feel safe with the curtains drawn I miss my brothers Cousin and mother, but I’m still Bugged at my ol' man I know he never meant to hurt me It isn’t what the voices tell me I know it wasn’t his plan My home is one big hideaway My room is one big hideaway My bed is one big hideaway My drugs are one big hideaway I feel safe in the TV glow

Footnote 04:49
Just passing through On my way to obscurity Songs reappear That no one will ever hear Memories fade, then they disappear And I’m content to be I won’t pretend I’m anything, but a Footnote in history There once was a time When I had my day in the sun Bells they would ring Like songs no one else can sing This I know, reveals everything Now I’m content to be I won’t pretend I’m anything, but a Footnote Yeah I was meant to be I don’t believe I’m anything, but a Footnote, Footnote in musical history A Footnote, Footnote (Fifteen minutes to go until the end of the show) A Footnote, Footnote (Fifteen minutes to go until the end of the show) A Footnote, A Footnote (Fifteen minutes to go until the end of the show)
