Penny Foolish 03:24
lyrics
I can't buy you the house or the car of your dreams Our love may be endless but not our wallets so it seems But a night at the theater? We'll spare no expense 'Cause it's pay what you can night and we've got 27 cents Tonight's dinner-- homemade nachos with the just expired cheese We'll be dining al fresco, as our faces feel the breeze on the golf course we snuck onto after hours. What the heck! Just for today, 'cause tomorrow we'll get our billion dollar check Until then we'll have to be Pound wise (pound wise) And Penny Foolish Pound wise (pound wise) And Penny Foolish Pound wise (pound wise) And Penny Foolish (penny foolish) When that billion dollar check comes you'll get everything you want Travel the world, five star hotels, and the finest restaurants Make love on Polynesian beaches, under a canopy with ruffles Made of silk. Drink Cheval Blanc, eat gold and saffron covered truffles Jet set back just in time for an audience with the Queen On the wrap-around porch of our mansion in the green exotic countryside of our fifty acre lakeside estate Except now we're broke, so we'll have to plan a slightly cheaper date Until then we'll have to be Pound wise (pound wise) And Penny Foolish Pound wise (pound wise) And Penny Foolish Pound wise (pound wise) And Penny Foolish (penny foolish) I can't promise you the world as a means to your seduction But I'll try to make do with a smaller reproduction When the billion dollar check comes, the world is yours in its totality But until that day arrives, you've got my sunny personality We'll scrimp and we'll save every penny that we find While we feast on instant ramen and the finest box of wine Which we'll relish in the moonlight one more night before we trek Down to our mailbox to look for our Billion dollar check Until then we'll have to be Pound wise (pound wise) And Penny Foolish Pound wise (pound wise) And Penny Foolish Pound wise (pound wise) And Penny Foolish (penny foolish) Penny Foolish Penny Foolish Penny Foolish

A Little Good 02:43
lyrics
Hey World! Thanks for random acts of kindness that warm my heart For food, friends, family, music, and art For when I said you shouldn't have, but you still knew you should 'Cause right now the world could use a little good Thanks for all the happy memories - Even those that led to pain For that first laugh after heartache vowed I'd never smile again For the strength to push on through when I never thought I could 'Cause right now the world could use a little good Gonna make it a habit Don't wanna be some frightened rabbit We're in the world we all inhabit I'll hold my hand out, you can grab it May you live in loving kindness. May you be well Be peaceful, be at ease. Be happy. Be swell May you live long and prosper in your livelihood 'Cause right now the world could use a little good Let's do some good now Hey World! Thanks when science, fate, the muses, and the moon and stars above Help us live and love and live and love and live and live and love And nudge things toward that groove we'd prayed that they would 'Cause right now the world could use a little good Gonna make it a habit And maybe I'm a silly rabbit But may our hearts and souls cohabit I'll hold my hand out you can grab it May we live in loving kindness and be really, really well be peaceful and at ease, and be happy as hell Live in joy, live in justice in our global neighborhood 'Cause right now the world could use a whole great big lot of good

I Hear Them All 02:50
lyrics
I hear the crying of the hungry in the deserts where they're wandering. Hear them crying out for heaven's own benevolence upon them. Hear destructive power prevailing, I hear fools falsely hailing. To the crooked wits of tyrants when they call. I hear them all I hear them all I hear them all I hear the sounds of tearing pages and the roar of burning paper. All the crimes in acquisitions turn to air and ash and vapor. And the rattle of the shackle far beyond emancipators. And the loneliest who gather in their stalls. I hear them all I hear them all I hear them all So while you sit and whistle Dixie with your money and your power. I can hear the flowers a-growin' in the rubble of the towers. I hear babies quit their crying. I hear leaders quit their lying I hear soldiers quit their dying, one and all. I hear them all I hear them all I hear them all I hear tender words from Zion, I hear Noah's waterfall. Hear the gentle lamb of Judah sleeping at the feet of Buddha. And the prophets from Elijah to the old Paiute Wovoka. Take their places at the table when they're called. I hear them all I hear them all I hear them all

It Goes Like "Aaaah" 03:33
lyrics
I don’t even think I’m the man you think I am But I think I love ya. I ain't that shady Look in my eyes tell me you see through my scam Tell me you want me. Those words are weighty The heart says it's right, but the brain says it's wrong My gut says just leave out the name of this song 'Cause it goes like: AAaaaaah Aaaahhh! You read my mind with things I'd say to you So right back atcha - 'Till we turn eighty Just keep on amazing me with the things you do Yeah right back atcha - I'll amaze my lady I don’t even think I’m the man you think I am. But I think I love ya. Look in my eyes tell me you see through my scam. Tell me you want me You read my mind with things I'd say to you. So right back atcha Just keep on amazing me with the things you do. Yeah right back atcha

Smell the Roses 02:55
lyrics
Gonna take the time to smell the roses Change my stiff posture to funny poses Hide my sheild until it decomposes Smile from ear to ear, laugh nose to noses I hear my brains rattle and I’m a little more pensive I’ve got gold in my pockets but life’s still too expensive To make it rain, shower the word in grand bravado While these golden handcuffs keep me from El Dorado Changing what the present presupposes Watch what the overlap juxtaposes Open my eyes to what life exposes Open my mind to what life proposes I’ll follow you anywhere, 'cause you're everywhere I'd go Everything I think and every feeling I could know I'll keep the oil in the spoon and not miss the sights above And I’ll love ‘til it hurts and when the hurt’s gone I’ll just love Gonna take the time to smell the roses Change my stiff posture to funny poses Hide my shield until it decomposes Smile from ear to ear, laugh nose to noses First I’ll take the time to smell the roses

The Liar Paradox Blues 03:17
lyrics
I just tell lies. That was a lie I'm a lying guy I just tell lies But! If you are telling a lie then that's true! But! If that is true you are telling a lie! But! You lie! But! That's True! But! That's True! But! You Lie! Illogical! Illogical! Illogical Illogical! And now my brain must fry! This is not true. Your mind just blew. There's no more you. That's what I do. But I'm still here!! What are you talking about!!! If my brain exploded how am I still talking and thinking! Illogical! Illogical! Illogical Illogical! What the hell is wrong with you humans! This song is done oh thank god for that! Its course has run Like being run over by a truck It's hurt no one What am I chopped liver? It's good clean fun You call that clean? I hate you people

The Darkest Place is Under the Candle 03:51
lyrics
Look at my smile, but not so what's under it that you can't see Look at my face, and my flash, and my style and not the miserable wretch that's me Listen to me laugh and sing while living and loving all that life could be But the darkest place is under the candle The darkest place is under the candle The darkest place is under the candle So don't look there for me We’ll hide out in the shadows... away from eyes that flicker wrapped up in dreams wrapped in happiness wrapped up in lies - lies that make them sicker Lies that can't tell the joy of laughter from the pain of a spiteful snicker 'Cause the darkest place is under the candle The darkest place is under the candle The darkest place is under the candle Once it burns out we'll heal a bit quicker So let me feel you shine and you can feel me shine we'll leat our shine reach wider The Weight lifts from your spine and from my spine sometimes combined we're that much lighter So put your hand in mine and wrap your heart round mine and hold me that much tighter The darkest place is under the candle The darkest place is under the candle Together we'll shine brighter
