Gather 'round the Integratron Summon all to Giant Rock Take a ride inside their ship George and the Space People trip Deep in thought George and his team Find ways to live out their dream Profound truth, inquiring minds If it benefits mankind Religion and science merged Vibratory auras purged Under stars and hellish heat Landers opens, Mammons greet If indeed our faith is wrong At least it made a new song

Think of hills draped with grass Green threads in woven mats Songs of peace free your mind Ancient forms locked in time Focus on visions now Act without knowing how Feel the joys of this place This mental holiday Think of waves ebb and flow Where the blue dolphins go Feel the sand on your back Smell the air salty snack Focus on... Just think you don't have to leave See the clouds straight ahead Cheap motels lumpy beds Sounds of sex room next door Freight trains pass hundreds more Focus on... Just think you don't have to leave

Avocado Hwy. 04:07
Just got back from heaven Cherry tree's on fire All my life I've waited for this ocean gyre Every time I wake up I think of how you smile Avocado Highway bends We drive a little while Through the lilacs and the trees Though the camera's Japanese We can savor this parade Live to see another day And the ocean opens up And it scatters all my dreams We can savor this parade Live to see another day Just got my own angel She's too drunk to fly She broke up with a waiter south of Riverside Caught me staring at her Just enough to cry Wiped her tears and sat her down She looked into my eyes

I pick up a pen and I cry I cannot believe the ink is dry I fall to pieces when you're gone It feels like the world is all wrong The easiest things left undone My energy's burned it's no fun The numbers amount I'm a frown The symbols to count and fall down Escape unscathed My mind's been paved So clear the way It's here to stay I open my eyes and I lose Now when I awake more bad news There no sign of Led in Zeppelin To be a rock and not to win Escape unscathed My mind's been paved Now clear the way It's here to stay

Carly Simon 02:56
If Carly Simon had a jar What would she put inside A candle or some passengers that came just for the ride? if Carly Simon had a car What would she like to drive A Honda or a Buick or a Ford or Hyundai? We could all melt away On a sunspot getaway If Carly Simon had a box What would she try to hide A key for empty slot machines, a bicycle to ride? If Carly Simon had a tube Of silver cyanide Would Kenya have some polar bears or Gandhi be alive? We could all get away On a sunspot meltaway We could all melt away On a sunspot getaway

Tropico 04:33
On the edge of the sun there's a sunspot flare Looking at you in the noontime air Took a drive today past the county line Where the stacks of hay have nothing inside How the flowers bloom in the blackened soil How the fragile moon shines and water boils Weep your soul and dry your eyes Keep your heart from all their lies Memories of Tropico fade with time And time is slow Read a sign above here's what it said All you need is love so tell a friend Your hair shines like angels Our time is flying My obscure angles Tangled tears you're crying
7.
Seven 04:35
7 minutes and you're smoking again 7 times I see you lying in bed 7 people on a passionate cruise 7 dollars for a crappy tattoo 7 ways to make you cry out in pain 7 ways to freebase crack & cocaine 7 reasons that you fill up with hate Just for fun I think I'll try 38 Like Britney Spears 'cause oops I did it again 7 seconds for injection to harm 7 four leaf clovers a good luck charm 7 symbols shine like nuclear fog 7 oceans have Los Angeles smog 7 freeways lead to Route 66 7 pussies means there are 7 chicks 7 strings are dumb but don't walk away Just for fun I'll play you something you hate Like Britney Spears 'cause oops I did it again

Dumb Angel 04:06
A dumb angel on my tracks Winged cherub won't relax Imagine that Flinging arrows is her job In love with liberty from God What a gas Give a dollar to your friend If it's money you need to lend You'll feel hollow in the end It's your heart you need to mend Her gaze stops me every time Instead I act so civilized Imagine that I dream of sleeping in my bed I'm just living in my head What a gas When you're feeling down and blue Close your eyes and count to 2 You know what you've got to do Take a trip to Malibu I cannot hear her voice aloud I see it in a puffy cloud Imagine that Songs of angels fill my day When she looks across my way What a gas I hope she looks across my way I hope she doesn't think I'm gay Or some pervert who will say "I will knock you up someday" Give a dollar to your friend If it's money you need to lend You'll feel hollow in the end It's your heart you need to mend Dumb angel Dumb angel Dumb angel on my tracks

Sad Grom 06:13
There's a place I like to go to when I'm down There I can forget all the shit that surrounds There's a girl I know who can make me feel great When she leaves, reality don't hesitate Solitaire in my head Wondering what she said I could call to clarify Without her I'd surely die There's a stretch of coastline where I'll retire I approach the water and then I will smile Entering the ocean can make it so clear Reminisce the times when we surfed by the pier Solitaire in my head Wondering what she said I could call to clarify Without her I'd surely die I'm just a sad grom Alone beneath the swaying palms My heart is blue I'm bleeding too I won't get her 'cause she's too good

Sore Throat 03:36
I took a trip with my two friends down to the beach I know that half the girls I see are out of reach We set up camp we settled down I caught some waves Late afternoon reflections blinded by the rays A holiday Some time away The crashing waves At end of day And through the night the reggae blasted through the tent The fires blazed the people dazed self-evident Dixie cups filled high with beer and yellow piss They were passing around a pipe and flashing tits A holiday Some time away An olive haze At end of day At around two the cops arrived and people knew The night was over and the jubilance was through I lay alone with a sore throat from singing blues I fall asleep inside my tent and listen to The crashing waves At end of day I go to face A holiday
