It's early in the morning when the sun comes in And I wake my baby up with some waffles and a kiss And I'm groggy and I'm tired 'Cuz I've been up all the night Doing what I do best.... Playing music (What did you think?) 'Cuz it's early mornings late nights, gotta treat my baby right maybe just one more drink tonight You think that I would learn that tomorrow's gonna hurt when I gotta go to work Late nights and early mornings Well it's late at night, and everybody's feelin' right in the corner, on the dancefloor, oh you wouldn't bat an eye And soon the morning's comin' and our heads will all be thumpin' need some coffee just to function like a normal human being... 'Cuz it's early mornings late nights gotta treat my baby right maybe just one more drink tonight You think that I would learn that tomorrow's gonna hurt when I gotta go to work Late nights and early mornings 'Cuz it's early mornings late nights gotta treat my baby right maybe just one more song tonight I'll be playing my guitar And I'll be setting off alarms And I'll be rockin' to the stars Late nights and early mornings

No lullaby's will tire our eyes When the angry moon draws near tonight Over the cornfield, it glows red and as it grows in the sky we flee from our beds Oh it's the angry moon! Oh what do we do!? Way up in the sky there's an angry moon tonight What can we do to hold up the moon? If only we had a giant or two Over the farmhouse doom glows bright and when we hope and we pray we say "Not tonight" Oh it's the angry moon! Oh what do we do!? The branches on the trees are clawing at the night You better close your eyes and pull your sheets up tight Way up in the sky there's an angry moon tonight!

Here comes trouble Just-a-walkin' down the street Just-a-lookin' at me With a devilish grin She's trouble when she's playing with her hair And I'm trying not to stare But it's not really workin' I know she's devious And I know she's mischievous But I just can't help myself I Can't stop thinkin' about her, Can't stop singin' about her, Can't get her outta my head... 'Cause SHE'S TROUBLE She knows just what she's doing When she's acting like a clumsy fool And asking me to hold her 'cause her shoes are "too tight" She's trouble when she kinda bites her lip And when she giggles a little bit I'm just not strong enough to resist! I know she's devious And I know she's mischievous But I just can't help myself I Can't stop thinkin' about her, Can't stop singin' about her, Can't get her outta my head... 'Cause SHE'S TROUBLE She lets me catch her dancing when nobody's around And she blushes ON PURPOSE just to make my heart melt I know she's devious And I know she's mischievous But I just can't help myself I Can't stop thinkin' about her Can't stop singin' about her Can't get her outta my head... I Can't stop thinkin' about her, Can't stop singin' about her, Can't get her outta my head... No, I Can't stop thinkin' about her, Can't stop singin' about her, Can't get her outta my head... 'Cause SHE'S TROUBLE

The Train 02:41
Runnin' round this ol' town Waiting for the train Waiting for my freedom in the rain A long, long time ago, I was just a man Who never got in anybody’s way... Whistle blowing, rain a fallin' Train is on its way If I could remember, the one who in my dreams Took a stand beside me when all was lost it seemed Many winters come and gone since you last were seen But everyday I think of you riding on this train Whistle blowing, Rain a fallin' Train is on its way And the whistle blows And the rain falls I hear the train a-comin' running, running, running Sinning souls find no rest no matter where they go no matter how hard they try how far they ride They'll never, never, never be home Runnin' round this ol' town Waiting for the train Waiting for my freedom in the rain

Don't you ever look at the stars? Don't you ever wonder who you are? Do you wonder where you came from - near or far? And don't you ever look at the stars? Don't you ever look at the moon? Does it ever stir a feeling down deep inside of you? Do you feel the cool wind blowin'? season's changing soon And don't you ever look at the moon? Do you ever hear the thunder rolling in Do you ever watch the lightning in the wind? Does it ever make you feel just a little bit frightened? Do you ever hear the thunder rolling in? Don't you ever look at the stars? Don't you ever wonder who you are? Do you wonder where we came from - near or far? And don't you ever look at the stars?

Who, who are you? Blazing through the night so cold. With your rusted lamp, and tattered robe Shining the light of rock and roll Baby, baby, baby standing at the bow of the boat row through the darkness, row through the mist we've almost made it across the sea to the land of Galilee I will write you a tune I will play it for you Then they'll gather in the park and hear the music under the stars Here I walk in the valley of darkness And escape the jaws of shadow Make my way to the home of life and I can see the way deep in your eyes... Morning stars sang from up in the sky Eyelashes of dawn opened over the valley below The people asleep began to awake Which way to the home of light where does the darkness dwell? I will write you a song And each note will come from a place undreamed of Light from the sunrise brightens your eyes Here at the end of time Morning stars sang from up in the sky Eyelashes of dawn opened over the valley below The people asleep began to awake Which way to the home of light where does the darkness dwell?

Rockstar 02:00
Write what you will and they say "be who you are." Well if I'm gonna be who I am then I'm gonna have to be a rock star Chorus: Gonna learn from the sonic architects Gonna study with the wizards of sound Play my guitar until the sun comes up play my drums until the sun goes down There's songs in my guitar and I'm gonna play them near and far Can't stop playing my music. I might as well just be a rock star (Chorus) I'm gonna play my guitar I'm gonna play my drums, gonna play my banjo, gonna play my piano, play my violin, play my theremin, play my kalimba too....

There's a rabbit waiting out in the cloverfield a ring around the moon and a pocket full of gold There's a rabbit waiting out in the cloverfield Waiting for the night to come Waiting for the night to come Where has my muse gone? I miss you, I need you I have been looking for you. Through fen and through forest Through meadows, and mountains I have been searching for you And the rabbit's saying "I don't want to go. I don't want to face the night alone" And the sun is setting And It's time to go I don't want to face the night alone There's a rabbit waiting out in the cloverfield A ring around the moon and a pocket full of gold There's a rabbit waiting out in the cloverfield... Waiting for the night to come Waiting for the night to come Chasing the muse now I've found you, I hear you All this time looking for you From the spark to the tips of my fingers the fret board. Free flowing life giving you my muse Twenty two degrees right around the moon rainfall will be here soon And the stars are shining All around the moon... And now I'm glad that I'm with you. My muse

Swift Turtle 04:12
Swift turtle run now, Go on down your path the water world awaits you, there's no time for looking back Swift turtle make haste, the time is now to go Let your old eyes guide you to where the west wind blows Swift turtle run now You better go! You better go! Swift turtle run now, now don't be slow Swift turtle run now, dance on rocks of gold Rock on speedy green feet 'till you're 7,114 years old Swift turtle blaze on, across the sky you go a trail of fire behind you And ahead the faint stars glow Swift turtle run now You better go! You better go! Swift turtle run now, now don't be slow

Traveller 09:15
And I saw an old man hunting And the last thing I remember Before I turned away People running and the thunder And the sky was burning away But I'm not from here I'm just a poor stranger and you've been so kind I can rest my troubled mind I'm so tired Traveller, Traveller, Come rest your feet Oh won't you have A little something to eat? Tell me, tell me, tell me again Which paths did you take to lead you to this end? Oh Traveller, tell me again... I saw a poor man begging in the streets I saw a rich man running I saw a young man break down and weep And I saw an old man hunting And the last thing I remember Before I turned away People running and the thunder And the sky was burning away But I'm not from here I'm just a poor stranger and you've been so kind I can rest my troubled mind I'm so tired Traveller, Traveller, Come take a rest, few make it here, you're a most welcome guest Traveller Traveller, Where have you been? We've met once before, do you remember me? Long long ago, before all your travelling... I saw a poor man begging in the streets I saw a rich man running I saw a young man break down and weep And I saw an old man hunting Traveller, Traveller, what do you say? What news do you bring from the road today? Tell me, tell me, Where have you been? What have you done and What have you seen? Traveller, Traveller Traveller, Traveller Traveller, Traveller Traveller, Traveller Traveller

I Gotta Go 02:54
Chorus: I really really really really really really really gotta go, I gotta go I gotta go on a boat to a show because I'm late for a date Ya, I'm late for a date and I don't wanna make her wait I gotta go! I gotta go (Chorus) I gotta run, I gotta run It was fun in the sun, but I gotta run I gotta jet, I gotta jet I gotta jet, I'm in a sweat, but don't you fret, I'm not late yet I gotta go! I gotta run, I gotta go I gotta go on a boat to a show I gotta skedaddle, I gotta skedaddle with a canoe, and a paddle, way down to Seattle I gotta go! I gotta go (Chorus)
