A mind at work
A mind at rest
A mind unprepared for the test
A mind at ease
A mind distressed
A mind that's racing
Place your bets
Concentrate
because a little thought
goes a long way
Concentrate
because a little thought
goes a long way
Pay no mind to your periphery
Focus your attention
The less you see...
Think before you even speak
Articulate coherently
Concentrate
because a little thought
goes a long way
Concentrate
because a little thought
goes a long way
An open mind could take
too much in if it's
useless information
Moderate your time and then
you'll be on your way to
enlightenment
Concentrate
because a little thought
goes a long way
Concentrate
because a little thought
goes a long way
I guess anyone can do this...
For we all have a song to impart
But her slippers miss on every step...
The hooded gent can't see...
It's a fashionable trend, not art.
They made a few waves inside the pool,
while thinking they'd get to
swim the whole length
But the times seem to be slowing down
I'd pull the plug and drain
Some found a way to fool,
the young and impressionable.
Herding them like cattle to graze.
[Hoping they'll stay in this vegetable state]
their whole life.
It may be the worst type.
I don't believe in hype.
It may be the worst type.
I don't believe in hype.
(Don't let GO run your life)
[Hype.]
I never did buy into that "O" campaign...
Maybe that's why I chose to
move so far away
You never know just how
much time is left to invest
so, I can only afford an "I"

I don't believe in hype.
[I can make up my own mind...]
It may be the worst type.
[Don't let GO run your life!]
[... since the dawn of recorded time]
I don't believe in hype.
The "sound" of this town is not city-wide!
[Hype.]
Don't you dare give in
or you'll find yourself caught
in that loop again
another wave,
you're drowning
Erasing with time
Consistent...
and desperate
There is no "real" place
you can go
Once you've realized
you don't need this...
[...can you ever get back to before?]
Living with this
burden so long
was never intended
[It's become the "new" status quo]
Don't you even think
about crawling so close to the...
brink unless
you plan to regress
Leave it all behind
and be done
Did you really hope
to continue...
[...heading down this path]
[...you've been on?]
There are no exceptions
to take
'cause this won't end until you...
[...start seeing what's at stake]
Now, this may account for
the lives being wasted
Few people can ignore
the products, and placement
Feel free to binge and hoard
There's plenty of space left
[Turn it off, Shut it down!]
No chance of feeling bored
if we're all complacent

[Turn it off, Shut it down!]
No chance of feeling bored
If we're all complacent
Although it's never enough,
peering through your hair
I see that face again
Our language may have been rough
but I don't have to swear
I'll do all that I can
If I'm your world,
you can walk all over me
Last time you caught me in bed,
I was dreaming of the day when
we both would be far away
Better times aren't too far ahead
I can almost see a path
why are we waiting?
If I'm you're world,
You are my Universe
Live our dream
amid the galaxy
Together,
We're a partnership
that sails into the big Atlantic...
...toc-boom in your room
with a view,
love you, love you, love you
If I'm your world,
there's no hunger here
If I'm your world,
You are my universe
Live our dream
amid the galaxy...

Having said that,
I'm hopelessly reminded
of my famous quotes
And having shown that,
there's a very different side
of me that's been exposed
Oh, I don't plan to document
every single one of my
transgressions
What would that prove?
'cause my past is hardly news
Having signed that,
there's a record (in my
penmanship) of misconduct
And having sealed that,
I'm afraid I've hidden some
memories that were found
Oh, I don't mean to complicate
every situation but I do know
there is no truth if you've
only heard the rumors
Having read that,
I'm more informed than I've
ever been , I digest it all
And having felt that,
I know now how to deal
with things I can't control
Oh, I don't plan to document
every single one of my
transgressions
What would that prove?
'cause my past is hardly news
He made it big in so many ways
I'd seen his tiny dancin' days
His moves were all the rage
A talent scout, a critic
In reality the man had no ear
A rock and roll, rock and roll
overture!
Wasting money and time with
nothin' to show for it
A rock had rolled over
The Micro Manager
He knew
there's a market for songs
with power chords
It's true
If it's totally dumb and of course
it's as loud as it can be heard
A rock and roll, rock and roll
overture!
Wasting money and time with
nothin' to show for it
His influences are very slight
but you couldn't blame it
on his height
The Micro Manager
He did a little, it was not enough
Add your signature and he
was bought
There's never been a
shorter stint
'cause big heads get shrunken
down
Well, that's show biz
He's still a force to be reckoned
with
He has no problem living in
pockets
That's what he would prefer
A rock and roll, rock and roll
overture!
Wasting money and time with
nothin' to show for it
His influences are very slight
but you couldn't blame it
on his height
The Micro Manager
And when it came time to book
he was too easy to overlook
The Micro Manager

From the originators to the
imitators you won't see
anything close to accuracy
From the login to the logout
everything is history
What's my motivation here?
I'm trying my best
to do what they expect from me
Compared to others I've known well,
I haven't lived up to
my own expectations
My thoughts bring forth a new idea,
so I'm trudging on to create
[some sensation!]
I'll chase
my muse around
tonight
I'll chase my muse
around
tonight, I'll chase
my muse around
tonight
It's approaching dawn
and I'm still up
'cause I'm so wired
from contemplation
The days go by at a good pace,
but I'm getting close
to completion
I'll chase
my muse around
tonight
I'll chase my muse

I'll chase
my muse around tonight
I'm not ego-driven
That's what you gotta be
to get ahead
I'm not ego-driven

I can see him workin' it
For some people It's just

It's not for me.

Those who've met him
may not know
that his existence remains
suspect though his legend

One thing I remember was
his short letter to the editor
I assume he was upset by
a particular review

never took a fee
Those who've met him

Some say he led a double life
He may have taken several wives
but few know what he
sacrificed to get us our Big Deal
Steve Chance!
Well, I'm forever grateful for
his hard work way back then
Men like Mr. Polley could've
learned a lot from him

She looked so beautiful
in her cap and gown
But little did I know
Our love was nearly done
That's what you get for
moving to a place where
everything seemed so
temporary and subject to change...I learned
She earned her Bachelor of Arts
Something to put on
her resume'
She earned her Bachelor of Arts
Sitting with her family
in one aisle
Feeling isolated
I was absent for her final
I looked so miserable
in my suit and tie
But I just knew there wasn't
anything that we couldn't
overcome...I learned
She earned her Bachelor of Arts
Something to put on
her resume'
She earned her Bachelor of Arts
I, myself have no formal training
I'm self-taught to some degree Well, I've never owned a super brain
My intuition was free
Learning as I go
I've kept an open mind
To never say never
is the way I've tried
That's what I get for
living day to day
To welcome change while
striving to always stay
somewhat the same
...I have learned
She earned her Bachelor of Arts
Something to put on
her resume'
She earned her Bachelor of Arts
It made me the Bachelor I am today
She earned her Bachelor of Arts
I met her one day
on the border
I had my King's X t-shirt on
I was in my green VW
it would never roll too far
without breaking down
Was she even old enough
to know so much about
the music I loved?
She really did look at lot
like a young Carol Brady close-up
It's Four Degrees Cooler there
You could feel it in the air
It's Four Degrees Cooler
where you could escape from Academia
As I recall it was not very far
from a southern parlor
A beaten path reportedly
strolled on by a few chancellors
I's Four Degrees Cooler there
You could feel it in the air
It's Four Degrees Cooler
where you could escape from Academia
Sandi owned the Partridge Family long[way] before I knew
they were out on disc
Luckily, she was behind me
I could never thank her
properly
I met him one day
on the way to my job
he was walking his dog
If R.D. were there today
he'd be rockin' the foundation
of the Snake House
It's Four Degrees Cooler there
You could feel it in the air
It's Four Degrees Cooler where?
There!
It's Four Degrees Cooler there
You could feel it in the air
It's Four Degrees Cooler
where you could escape
He lost you in the storm
It blew things away overnight
Torn in two, a polarizing view
Who could ascertain wrong
from right?
Friends in a drift
Friends in a drift
Quick to argue over any topic
You filled with rage
So full of spite
The trip we flew
The kid stepped out of shadows
to casually trade until next time
Friends in a drift
Friends in a drift
One rule he had to obey:
Let nothing get in the way
of your good time
He only wanted to say,
he still feels it's true today
You were so generous
with your lines
Friends in a drift
