01_TOO MANY QUESTIONSMy coffee is cold, and yesterday is stuck with meAnd I cant wake up from my sleepI feel like a grain of salt in the shaker but the day that I meet my maker orThe day that I see my undertaker, ya see.

All I have is too many questionsIs there something someone forgot to mention to meBut I walk on with out hesitation To my unknown own destinationWith the music like syncipation And explore my own imagination

How do I know if I am right in why I feel like I doAnd separate the truth from the liesAnd why do we only take any action when it comes to our own satisfactionWhen we only need just a fraction of what we need

Chorus

How do I climb up on out of this funk Im in and how do I cling to the frame of Divine timing?Why do I doubt sometimes, that of which I know for sure?And why when Ive had enough, do I seem to ask for more?How do I climb up on out of this funk Im in and how do I cling to the frame of Divine timing?Why do old habits die so hard, God knows I try and try - and why ask why?

Chorus x2

02_BLACK AND GOLDIf the fish swam out of the ocean and grew legs and they started walkingAnd the apes climbed down from the trees and grew tall and they started talkingAnd the stars fell out of the sky and my tears rolled into the oceanNow Im looking for a reason why, you even set my world into motion

Cause if youre not really here, then the stars dont even matterNow Im filled to the top with fear, that its all just a bunch of matterCause if youre not really here, then I dont wanna be eitherI wanna be next to you, Black & Gold, Black & Gold, Black & Gold

I look up into the night sky, I see 1000 eyes staring backAnd all around these golden beacons, I see nothing but blackI feel the weight of something beyond them; I dont see what I can feel.If vision is the only validation then most of my life isnt real.

Chorus

I wanna be next to you, Black & Gold, Black & Gold, Black & Gold.

Chorus

03_21ST CENTURY LIFEWhen I was a little boy, living in the last centuryI thought about living in the future, then it occurred to meI turned around, the future was now, the future was all around meNothing like I had imagined, it was totally confounding

21st Century Life, I got swept awayI got 21 thousand thing I gotta do today21st Century Life, what can I sayThe new worlds got me feeling so dirty think I need to get down and pray

Well now I, turn on the TV just in time enough to hear what the Pope said, the Pope saidAnd just a few tiny little words later, somebody wants the man deadWell what about famine and disease, well they said its too badBecause Im never alone, its not just a phone - its a stereo

Chorus

Now Im not a little boy, Im in the 21st Century Well you might think weve come a really long way but theres still no equality I watch the news on my computer screen, talkin bout buying my weed out of a vending machineYou tell me Im free, well how can that be when youre always watching me on the CCTV

Chorus

Woawhoa 21, 21, 21... woohoo woohoo woohoo

04_SICKDarling your brow is wetYouve got a feverDarling rest your headIll make you a believerBaby come away from the windowI dont want you to see itOh the things that you might seeYou wont want to repeat it

Its a sick sick world Ill be your medicineSo come and take me, take meIll make you feel better

When your mother bore youBoy did she adore youShe wanted to protect you From the world she brought you intoBut your curiosities took you far from your homeMake sure you take me with you when you go into the unknown

Chorus

Darlin, youve got a feverIll make you betterIl make you better, better, better, better, better, better, better

Chorus

05_WAITING FOR TIMESorry I lost itSomething came over meIs there a lesson somewhere in this awful tragedyYou didnt deserve that, nobody doesMaybe we will make it, maybe notOnly time can tell you, what you really got

Time is all that can undo those things I saidIm gonna have to wait til you forgive me in your headSummer will come, but Winters what I dread

Youre disappointment Isnt easy to bearMine is harderWaking up to find that you arent thereNow youve seen it, my demons revealedMaybe well get better, maybe worseOnly time can tell us, how much it really hurts

Time is all that can undo those things I saidIm gonna have to wait til you forgive me in your headSummer will come, but Winters what I ...

Dread to think Ive thrown away the only love Ive ever hadMade a bloody stupid mistake, makes me really fucking madI wanna see happy, hope its me that makes you happyBut I know you need a minute or a month or a year to forgive me

Time is all that can undo those things I saidIm gonna have to wait til you forgive me in your headSummer will come, but Winters what I dread, what I dread, what I dread...

06_RECYCLE IT!Stop!Think about itDont throw it awayRecycle it!

07_COTTONMOUTHIt was just an ordinary afternoon I was sitting in the parkTryin to forget all of my blues, I rolled a little somethin to sparkAnd so in Gods Green Earth I did partake - Not an unusual affairI forgot my woes while I fell awake I didnt have a single careThen I noticed something very wrongI was so parched I could not sing this song aaahhhhh

Cotton Mouth Cotton Mouth (ya so damn dry)Cotton Mouth Cotton Mouth (dont know what to do)Cotton Mouth Cotton Mouth (oohohhohhh)Cotton Mouth Cotton Mouth (gotta get over you)

What was just an oridinary afternoon, became complicatedIn my attempt to drive away my blues, I got discombobulatedI tried to get my cloudy head to think ya see I needed a solutionBut the only water I could find to drink was full of pollution heeyyyyyyy

Chorus

I NEED SOME H2O-O-O-O - DOWN MY THROAT x 8

08_HOT MESSI know you fancy yourself as a sexy bitchIts in the way that you walkDo you kiss your mother with those expensive lips?You sure got expensive talkWell your lavish life might appear delicious But not particula-larly nutritious

Cause you need itDont you babyNo youre nothing without their gazes They dont love youThey are strangersLook how far you have come Youre amazing, youre amazing

Well you worked so hard just to shed the shackles of anonymity Now everyone knows ya and theyre all talkingBut not favourablyIf you wipe the Bolivian from the mirror You just might see things a little clearer

Chorus

And you wonder why the people cant stop lookingIts exactly what you want us to doEverybodys at you for their one hot minute Weve all got to pick a bigger piece of you

Baby... youre a hot mess

Chorus

(Have a lovely day! Have a lovely day!Youre so hot - just cant get enough)

09_POCKETIf you stand tall with your back to the door then its your own fault when you get knocked to floorYou may have fooled me once but Ive got a pretty damn good memoryIts a small world, what a tired cliche, but its a small world, how many times can I say -That everything you do will end up coming right back around again

And if you dont know that by now then I feel quite sorry for you, Im sorry for youYeah, the people that you keep around - well you learn from them and they learn from you

So keep your friends close and your enemies in your pocketYeah keep your friends close and your enemies in your pocketWell you just might start to melt them down and theyll come aroundSo keep your friends close and your enemies in your pocket

Its a long haul to the front of the line and you get there in your own sweet timeBut theres always somebody who decides to cut right in front of youWide-eyed, looking for a ticket to ride. Its a long night I hope we make it out aliveYou cant spend your whole life worrying bout whats behind you

And if you dont know that by now then I feel quite sorry for you, Im sorry for youYeah, the people that you keep around - well you learn from them and they learn from you

Chorus

Its a life in colour, not black and white but some people think theyre the ones who got it rightIn a room so full, well you have to be a little more flexible

And if you dont know that by now then I feel quite sorry for you, Im sorry for youYeah, the people that you keep around - well you learn from them and they learn from you

Chorus

10_CUT ME LOOSEWhen I hear that bass start to thumpinMe and my whole body get to jumpinI snap my neck, my back and shake my rump andJust cut it loose, (loose) I just cut it loose (hey, hey)When the day behind ya leaves you shatteredI only know one thing that makes it betterSo call you girl and boys and get em out to (call your girls and call your boys up)Help you cut it loose, (cut it loose) shake that caboose (oh yeah)

I cant leave right now these tunes are seriousheyeyeaheyeahehThe bass slapped me in the face and I stepped so hard I almost shook the placeGot snare in the air like a cool breeze and those nasty keys are the bees knees

Nothing cuts me loose like musicI cut a rug up all night long when I hear my favourite songNothing cuts me loose like musicI said it cut me loose (loose) it just cut me loose (yeah)

I cut a rug up all night long when I hear my favourite song, musicIt takes me away and it cut me loose

Sweaty, getting sweatyNothing in the world is quite as niceIf you get there early, like say by 10:30You can get inside the club at half the priceThats cold as ice

It takes me away and it cut me loose

Nothing cuts me loose like musicI cut a rug up all night long when I hear my favourite song Nothing cuts me loose like music (you know its true)I said it cut me loose (loose) it just cut me loose (yeah)
