The Sun crashed into the mountain
And set ablaze
The mountain side and all of its trees
The skies they filled with a smoke and ash
The burnt orange yolk was no longer there
The seas they swelled and the tides they rose
Poseidon could not control what
Heaven knows
But me girl, I can see it all
I know, I know you haven't been behaving at all
Why when you got so much to lose?
You're hanging me out to dry on the wrong end of a noose
You know these secrets, girl, aren't new
While you're sleeping around girl, come join me on the noose
No natural disaster could
Overcome this rage
I search and I search but all i find is the same
The same old thing spelled out on all the same old strips
Lies are all that, pour from your lips

Treinta y Ocho

You find there's no need to search for fate
Cause fate will always find you
And the ones that keep seeking they try to find a meaning
But all they find is untrue
You know it might be all wrong
Or it might be a message, or a sign from beyond
Though everyone tells you el hombre es loco
You never can hide from the treinta y ocho
All of these people, go abre los ojos
Open your eyes for the treinta y ocho
You could search all your life to find some acceptance
Or some place you belong
Go on, take off your soul or throw down your heart
Come and join in the throng
But you'll treat yourself wrong
Despite endless signals and signs for attention
They all follow along
Though everyone tells you el hombre es loco
You never can hide from the treinta y ocho
All of these people, go abre los ojos
Open your eyes for the treinta y ocho

Pavement

In the meadow lilies grow and
In the forest trees grow but
On the road nothing grows
Cause the road is pavement
In the ocean coral grows and
In the lake turtles grow but
On the parking lot nothing grows
Cause the parking lot is pavement
In the sky clouds grow
And in the clouds dreams grow
But on the highway nothing grows
Cause the world is pavement
In the mountain laurel grows and
In the desert cacti grow but
On the driveway nothing grows
Cause the driveway is pavement
Up in space martians grow and
In the universe we all grow but
On the blacktop nothing grows
Cause the blacktop is pavement
In the sky clouds grow
And in the clouds dreams grow
But on the highway nothing grows
Cause the world is pavement
In the sky, you know, clouds grow
And in the clouds dreams grow
But on the highway nothing grows
Cause the world is pavement

One Week and Seven Days
03:47

You were mine and I was yours
Until the day you walked out the door
You said you wanted your own space
But I already read it on your face
You didn't want to see or speak to me
In at least one week and seven days
I try to go on with my days
But your thoughts they're here to stay
I got you trapped up in my brain
And I know how to get you away
I can't see or speak to you in
One week and seven days
Run into you and ask how you've been
You say you're fine but I know you're lying
You know you made a big mistake
And it's all you can do to put on a fake
Really wishing you been with me in the last
One week and seven days

Infrared numbers pierce through the dawn
Screeching out tones that force out a yawn
But the morning is here and my day soon begins
A day full of freedom laughter and sins
That golden chariot takes to the sky
As I peer out my window and let out a sigh
To find peace and quiet is a remarkable skill
For it only dwells by a windowsill
I wake up at six for sanity
My cup is filled up with herbal tea
My mind is a chalkboard, freshly erased
My mind is a quiet and empty space

Never Been So Lonely

I've never been so lonely
Since I met you
I've never been so lonely
Please tell me what to do
If I have to be alone
I don't wanna grow old
When I am lonely
The hours pass so slow
Don't know what to do
And you left five minutes ago
If I have to be alone
I don't wanna grow old
If I have to be alone
I don't wanna grow old

The Breaks

Settle your mind and come follow me
We're going to a site known as the sea
Where fish swim freely beyond the break
And on the beach children play
Now that we're here our fun can begin
So scoop up that raft and jump right in
Paddle out to that buoy right over there
And sit on your board, breathe in the sea air
Here it comes, a dark silhouette
Now paddle your ass off and you'll catch it I bet
You can feel the rush of the wind and the speed
As you drop in and laugh without a care or need
