Freeze Time lyrics

I'd like to stay here just like this
it's just a momentary bliss
that's all we can hope for
that's reason to cope for
this life, this life and no more

You will be immortal man
one in the hand
you will know exactly then
what you have
you found the cure
and Morse codes for rapture
get with your rhythm
get with your nature

The moment's running down the mountain
it can be captured from a fountain

Come Original lyrics

You got to
You got to

You got to come original you got to come original
all entertainers come original
you got to come original you got to come original
all entertainers
hear why

To come original it ain't nothin' strange
you got to represent you got come full range an'
full range of emotion full range of styles
when you come to town you'll have them comin' for miles and

Large in the Margin lyrics

Check it check it check it out
got clout and you know that

Large in the margin
my drama unfolds behind closed doors
told on the down-low
i believe that I'm so but really, i don't know
maybe it's better, but I can't think so
maybe its better to fight, one never ever knows
believe the rumors that grow like tumors
more fun than the truth that we know

Trying
too hard to reach a higher plane

Flowing lyrics

Along the way to close my eyes
I lost where I was going
the more it will spin
the more that I try
to stop my mind flowing away, away
to all that I despise
along the way to close my eyes

You can't be let down if you don't expect the world
expect to lay awake and by your sleeping girl
if somebody cares then there is no way you can tell
cursed consciousness is your private hell

Can't Fade Me lyrics

We bust the sound
the kids all gather 'round
and what's comin' from their radios
they all turn down
the creativeness
we are scientists
move 'em with soul
move 'em with this
and when the bass kicks
we get intimate
and with the music and the people
yeah, they're into it
takin' off, crusin' through the air
the sound is aerodynamic
let me take you there

However
I'm a cool and mellow man

Life's Not a Race lyrics

A day like today is for you
to let your mind unwind, like you ought to
feel the earth turn round when your heart rate slows
contemplating the thing only your heart knows
that life's not a race

So hard to believe part of me will fade
in a mystery, in a future world
long ago, parts feel for your love
and lives to tell you so

The world revolves around your mind in a golden spiral

Strong All Along lyrics

Feel the bass knives past your flesh enter your bone
solitude in your dance floor rhythm zone
let your body go, just don't follow the letter
do what you feel, the more absurd the better
don't be afraid, whatever you got, show
flaunt your personality let 'em know you stylo
you could make a mean hand out of what you been dealt
311 on wax, wax on felt

Feeling real great cause the weather is mild

Sever lyrics

Just sever that leash and release
your freedom of speech
you just have to believe
your deed will be received
somehow, somewhere
you won't be repaid with a blank stare
let me know if you dare

There's no one that could cure you
like she does (she does)
no one could leave you so alone

(Cuh, cuh, come on)
Here I goes, my vibe is holy, my eyes close
either I'm asleep or what I'm thinking is deep

Eons lyrics

You got a wishing well within
that's ready to begin
see how we roll
see how we roll
i'm tryin' to compromise
because with me there are no lies
see how we run
it's already begun
now that i'm back to a pushing pen
that weighs two hundred tons
i'd like to drop it on you
and watch it all fall through

Nobody knows just what
you're battling inside
you can hide
nobody knows just why

Evolution lyrics

(starshines)

My computer is future shockin'
download this and you'll start talkin'
upgraded, you're now walkin'
compatible with all that is rockin'
comin' on fast, it's getting' digital
it's so huge, like a spiritual
rippling out to every individual
this is life, it is a miracle

Evolution has exponential timing
it'll be half as long
till the next breakthrough that blows our mind

Leaving Babylon lyrics

Will I say
leaving this Babylon

Say I'm leaving this Babylon
leaving this Babylon
will not be to long
will not be to long
say my people are starving
but your money's running

I said my people are starving
but your money's running

I say your dollar, dollar cut down real low
you ain't got nothin' to show
gonna' step right through the door
not gonna' come back no more
cuz a politition lied

Mindspin lyrics

Are you missing us
maybe wanting to be kissing us
and if you must, please don't be dismissing us
and when we're gone, bailin' on the bus

Are we immersed in a sea of replicants
hard exteriors and fake gold fronts
loosing yourself in the flavor of the month
gotta be a better reason to colonize a star
gotta be a better reason man's come so far

Is that you in the mama-ocean-people-sea

Livin' and Rockin' lyrics

Fire is my method for destruction
leaving charred wreckage from my latest eruption
unpredictable, my erratic demeanor
bobbing and weaving as my mind gets leaner
though i'm trippin' on legs that stumble but I don't fall down
you know I'm singing out things you mumble from a lack of resound
pissed off mist lifts to honesty
now come down motherfucker with your philosophy
