Need For Light

Open your arms for me
Give me new eyes so I can see
Open the sea for me
To be what I used to be
Need for light
They say out there the grass is green
But there’s no colors in my soul
Maybe it’s not what it seems
Maybe I missed my goal
Need for light
Gotta get away

Oh baby we’re animals lost in a neon world
Oh baby we’re animals in a jungle of words
Oh yeah
Animals
Oh yeah
Animals
We make plans for Saturday night
While the other mammals also hunt at night
Predators and preys, strong and weak, small and big
Tombs and holes and deeper we dig
Oh baby we’re animals lost in a neon world
Oh baby we’re animals in a jungle of words
Oh yeah
Animals
Oh yeah
Animals
We’ve got nothing left to prove, we’re part of the food chain
No skills to improve, just climb up that mountain
You’ll get hurt and satisfied, cuz we’re only animals
Yeah baby we’re animals in cages within digital walls
Oh yeah
Animals
Oh yeah

Baby You're My Tree
04:14

A brand new land
And a brand new sea
Walking on quicksands
Looking for a place to be
Life is short but pain is long
Once weak then strong
That’s what I learned
But baby you’re my tree
Watching over me
Too many rounds on this carousel
Too many sounds in this madhouse
There were no more waters to sail
There were no more lights to douse
But baby you’re my tree
Watching over me
Into the wild we need no words
welcome to a brand new world
You and I we chose to run away
Elsewhere there were no more songs to play
But baby you’re my tree
Watching over me
Now we’re roaming the woods
Now we’re sowing seeds
Rotten and forbidden fruits
To the unknown I’ll follow your lead
Baby you're my tree
Oh baby can't you see
I just can't stand my ground
When you're not around
Baby you’re my tree
Watching over me
Watching over me
Watching over me...

Big Chief they should've listened to you
Is there enough room for me and you?
Big Chief they are coming after you
Big Chief they took this earth away from you
Big Chief now tell me what shall we do?
Big Chief
Who are you?
Big Chief
Who am I too?

Lemon Bay Road

I’m just another name in the sand
You held my fate in your hands
Marooned but not castaway
Did you listen to the songs I sang?
On Lemon BayRoad
On Lemon Bay Road
A stranger among strangers
No one is going to worship me
Cuz they just don’t know me
Right here on Lemon Bay Road
It’s the same old story
On Lemon BayRoad
On Lemon Bay Road
Lost and wandering forever
Bands playing one after another
Sisters brothers boys and girls
Ridin’ ‘round Lemon Bay road
Always further between always and never
On Lemon BayRoad
On Lemon Bay Road

There is no war without guns
Nowhere to go nowhere to run
But 20000 leagues under the sun
There is hate and there is love
But there’s nothing up above
To prevent crap from falling the sky
There is life and there is death
But there’s nothing to quench my faith
Wherever I roam I will always get by
So here I am
And I will stay
Here I am
And I will stay
20000 leagues under the sun
