PorchStomp 03:33
҉ PorchStomp ҉ We'll reach that moment of inspiration We find ourselves in a prime location And we're thinking about thinking about thinking about Skinny dippin' Under the stars, moonlight and Mars Night to day dries up the Milky Way We'll find ourselves full of inspiration We'll ride the Earth and slow down its rotation With our snappy tunes, and our happy feet We'll swing so low and we'll sing so sweet It starts far, it starts high It starts halfway up the mountainside and there ain't no money like sunshine It carries blood, it carries life It's got a heartbeat that's deep inside of me now ain't no money like sunshine In the land of inspiration We sing of love and of dedication We followed the map but left no trace On the way to our hiding place We live like gypsies, we live like Czars Who spend their weekends swinging guitars and there ain't no money like sunshine ain't no money like sunshine ain't no better way to spend my time ridin' on the wings of a dragonfly with the rhythm of a prism I can touch the sky Oooh oooh yeah Lay it down in blue high shag Make your tail start to wag Wompaloobow a womp bam bang You gots to learn to start to hang Tangerine green and bongo beige You're right on time, take the stage! PorchStomp rhythm locked down tight Grab your partner and make 'em feel right In the sunlight, the sunlight...

҉ Best Times Comin' ҉ When life stands still at the bottom of a hill You're invisibill When life stands still and you've got some time to kill Become invisibill And night after night I've been drivin' Because I can't sit home Tear off my rear view mirror Airplane mode my phone When life stands you up, up against the wall Become a cannonball When life turns you down, crank up the sound This train is glory-bound And night after night I keep drivin' Because I can't sit home Laugh in the rear view mirror Airplane mode my phone Because the best times are comin up! When life takes a swing, jump on out the ring Who is the man who would be king When life catches fire, light up your tires Don't be afraid of desire And night after night I've been drivin' Because I can't sit home Smile in my rear view mirror Airplane mode my phone Because the best times are comin up! When life calls your bluff you can stop actin' tough You've got more than enough When life sends you love, its time to drop the gloves and thank the stars above And night after night I keep drivin' Because I can't sit home City lights in my rear view mirror Reflecting in my chrome...

҉ Hallelujah Highway (Sweet Virginia) ҉ Take a look at me and see what you like Take what you want to liven up your life Write down your problems and tear 'em on up Let 'em all blow out the window and blow away... Sweet Virginia you come home right away The sky is bloomin' and a fire's on the way I see it fallin', we'll catch it if we run Sweet Virginia, face turned toward the sun And I feel fine! Sweet Virginia, your face is just like wine As you get older, you pass the test of time The river's deeper that's runnin' through your mind Sweet Virginia please hold this hand of mine And I feel fine! Sweet Virginia, nature's been so kind to you Love her madly, it's the least that you can do A rusted robin, lookin' toward her nest Sweet Virginia, I'm starin' at her breast And I feel fine! Better hurry up if you wanna get on The hallelujah highway is rollin' its way back home...

҉ When the Lights Go Out ҉ I can see in the dark Because you light my way with your spark And you diffract the light like a prism Your halo strobes and your hips keep the rhythm I can't help when I howl at the moon Somethin' in your eyes, a deeper shade of blue When the lights go out Got to feel your way When the lights go out We can start a little fire, make it grow a little higher Feed your desire 'til we walk in the sunrise I can see through time Because you're mine, shinin' brightly With handfuls of stars that you scatter Constellations form above the backyard And I'll be there when the planets align Rubbin' your lantern, making you shine When the lights go out Got to feel your way When the lights go out Just feel your way, it'll be OK When the lights go out We can start a little fire, make it grow a little higher Feed your desire 'til we're watchin' the sunrise And I can't help when I howl at the moon Somethin' in your eyes, a deeper shade of blue When the lights go out Got to feel your way When the lights go out Just feel your way, it'll be OK When the lights go out It feels OK, yeah it feels OK When the lights go out We can start a little fire, make it grow a little higher Feed your desire 'til we walk in the sunrise!

҉ Stolen Moments ҉ I miss the parts that I can see Wavy lines on my TV Paper lanterns break my fall Don't leave me hangin' on your wall And when memories got you lookin' down Put 'em back underground Bring some milk 'cuz I brought honey, Can't you see it's warm and sunny Lay your bike beside the river Tell Mother Nature we forgive her Cuz winter snow makes rivers swollen and Stolen moments are made of gold and blue Fro-rozen in time with you I cut the tracks without a knife, Warmin' up a little tiny slice of life And when that pie is finally served I give her just what she deserves You don't have to be an anarchist To make the top of my list Bring some milk 'cuz I brought honey, Can't you see it's warm and sunny Lay your bike beside the river Tell Mother Nature we forgive her Cuz winter snow has rivers swollen and Stolen moments are made of gold and blue Fro-rozen in time with you Tap your toes and drag your feet Shake your rumpa to the funky beat I'll make your smile look just like new Sing Home Sweet Home like Mötley Crüe While you're waiting for that shooting star Dig a bit of my guitar Bring some milk 'cuz I brought honey, Can't you see it's warm and sunny Lay your bike beside the river Tell Mother Nature we forgive her Cuz winter snow made rivers swollen and Stolen moments are made of gold and blue Fro-rozen in time with you

҉ Rainy Day Sunshine ҉ Don't let the rain ever get you down Open the window and dig the sound It sounds like an applauding crowd No one's ever out walkin' around It's like you've got the world to yourself Gives you a feelin' that's never felt north of the belt Rainy day sunshine, life can feel so fine Rainy day sunshine found me today I open all the windows real wide Breathe the fresh air, let the breezes inside I pull the blinds as high as I can Let the sun shine through a drop at a time I watch the river of water flow Bubbles along, don't be afraid to let it carry you home Rainy day sunshine, life can feel so fine Rainy day sunshine found me today I don't sing of weather Life lasts forever Rainy day sunshine found me today Made a big cloud and blew it away I spend the day just watchin' it rain Clings to the screen, falls on the pane A rainy day leaves no drought in your mind Tickles the trees, makes new fronds every time And that's why I love the color green Rainy day sunshine like a long wet dream A doompa di di

Coffee 04:42
҉ Coffee ҉ And now it's time for coffee Even though I'm not cold I grow tired without a little coffee Makes me feel like I'm gettin' old A speedball in the evening Feels like coffee and me go floating Coffee… Whipped cream is a pillow An underworld delight And while you sit there lickin' your fingers, girl I wanna hold you so tight And share a little coffee Another lovin' cup of coffee Another cup of coffee between you and I Coffee between you and I And we run out of cream And a broken percolator Overflowing coffee machine And soon I take out the screws and go deep inside her I need to fix it For coffee sustains me Coffee maintains me Coffee… I think it's fatal The heat sensor's fried It burnt right through and the part is obsolete I don't know what I'm gonna do I can hardly keep my feet I need more coffee, maybe some chocolate I need some coffee, maybe more chocolate No really coffee is the only thing Coffee is the only thing Coffee is the only thing that sets me free Coffee…

GlueStick 02:37
҉ GlueStick ҉ I can't count the stars when they're spinning around the void But seeing your face When I wake up and enjoy warm mornings Chorus One and one make two we just stick together like glue And we're feeling stronger dance a little longer We're marking the miles with kisses and smiles Spinning the vinyl backwards Chorus repeat I can't count the ways we chase passing days Maybe I'm amazed at the way you make me feel Chorus repeat Dropped my third eye on the ground And caught my mind on the reboundin' skyhook That rhythm jumped into the chasm for a full eargasm blast of pop-rockin' Tony Robbin droppin' beats That self-motivate you to pop some bubblewrap tightly Round a rhyme, sippin' soda and lime 'cuz tonight's all mine So I'll sing a valentine to the angel of my eye To the one and only pie Chorus repeat

Stellar 02:56
҉ Stellar ҉ Move the clouds and try to make your father proud Move the earth Let the world see what you're really worth And I fly after you Stellar, in a field of blue Time flies too You know it's chasin' after me and you Don't slow down, Wait to land 'til we find hallowed ground And I fly after you Stellar, in a field of blue Winds can change Your destiny is never pre-ordained Put up your sail The breath of future times becomes a gale And I fly after you Smile all afternoon Stellar, in a field of blue

Love Dream 04:24
҉ Love Dream ҉ I just want to sleep today I don't have a thing to say my lullaby is the falling rain Don't wake me up 'cause with a little luck I'll dream about my youth again and it might seem so sad to wish for what I had and everyone knows you can't buy time so rain or shine... Chorus send a love beam swim in a love stream live in a love dream with me I just want to drive today I've got nowhere to be I'll find a highway and flip a coin I just want to feel the earth under my tires burn waiting to see what's come alive and it might not make sense if you've never felt the weight of the world like its got no end to it so any old time... Chorus repeat I just want the lights down low Adrift in the afterglow Rudderless on an open sea and who catches a falling star? Roman candles and a red guitar just try to sing with honesty and it might not seem real when you don't know what to feel but there's nowhere to be so take your time and if you don't mind... Chorus repeat
