All Of The Above I: Full Moon Rising In a state of fallen grace With a smile upon it's face, IT CAME ! Full moon rising today Like a child but fully grown Like a star but not so far away ! It came here to take me away CHORUS This has never been before While the sun burns bright as day Light the sky - hold back no more Let the full moon rise today Full moon rising today So there I was with my complaints In the comfort of my restraints I stayed I stayed and had nothing to say But there it was returning for my eyes Like a fire that's been burning up the sky Full moon rising today CHORUS II: October Winds There's a town I used to know There's a place I used ti go to play Laughin' all the way Never thought of where I'd been Autumn wind came creepin' in one day Now summer's gone away Summer's gone away ........... hey When October winds lay down When the heat can't melt the ground And nothing matters anyway When October winds take hold When you're down that dank dark road Maybe nothing matters anyway III: Camouflaged In Blue Dead on your feet you walk like no one's home Out on the street you make your way alone Soldier of fortune camouflaged in blue Dawn turns to dusk you sail away in doubt Love turns to lust you've turned it inside out Soldier of fortuen camouflaged in blue (but I know you) All that you are is not the things you do You know it's true All that you are is camouflaged in blue You know it's true Dead on your feet you walk like no one's home Out on the street you make your way alone Soldier of fortune camouflaged in blue But I know you now CHORUS IV: Half Alive Don't just sit there wasting your time on the phone Don't be with that skank 'cause it hurts to be alone And you swarm around like bees to the hive And you look a man in full but you're half alive One flew south, one to the east; one went to the west You became the enemy just to be the best Waiting for your dream to arrive You're whole and you're complete but you're half alive Waiting for your dream to arrive You're whole and you're complete but you're half alive V: Undying Love Pressed to the wall of the rail station hall is the Venus de Milo You walk through the park 'til the clouds seem to darken the sky And you wish you could soften your mind But you feel like they've lockd you in time And you think you'll be perfectly fine once you get to the water Suddenly you stop 'cause your feet just won't walk Like there's someone awaiting The moon seems alive and looks down on your life just to say IT'S ALRIGHT Innocence and undying love will reign Innocence and undying love will reign Hearing the call with your back to the wall in a wordless conundrum Half of your life 'tween a rose and a knife ain't it time ? You're sure to find Innocence and undying love will reign Innocence and undying love will reign The world will soon be right again Innocence and undying love will reign The world will soon be right again Innocence and undying love will reign VI: Full Moon Rising (Reprise) In a state of fallen grace, with a smile upon it's face, IT CAME ! ... Full moon rising today While the clock is turning fast, soak it up before it's passed away Let it become what it may This has never been before While the sun burns bright as day Light the sku - hold back no more Let the full moon rise today, full moon rising today Full moon rising today, full moon rising today

We All Need Some Light Some people think Think they have none They might as well stay down Running in circles Like bulls in a ring 'Til the sword finds it's way down While the creep beats the rap on appeal And the cop who can't stop Shows the kids how to steal CHORUS And we all need some light now We all need some light now Yes, we all need some light now Turn on your light And wash the darkness away Hey you on the brink Waiting to fall To become human surplus The movie's still shooting You might still get the roll And man it's all just a circus But the clown left town long ago Maybe he'll come back and give us a show CHORUS And we all need some light now We all need some light now Yes, we all need some light now Turn on your light and wash the darkness away

On the road to anywhere, in a place that exists without time I met a girl who sang to me but her songs had no rhythm or rhyme I couldn't feel, I could not think but my my what a colorful blind As she sang in my mind CHORUS Let the deal go down - ride that mystery train Break the whole thing down - start all over again Let the deal go down - ride that mystery train Welcome to the mystery - dreams float in a pool in my head There's your mother when she was young There's Uncle Dick looking sick and half dead The lights are on and she is home, stretched out on a chodachrome bed There's singing in my head CHORUS BRIDGE Let the deal go down, let the wild wind blow Let the dreaming go, let the steel rain fall Let the seed be sown, 'til everything is known Let the deal go down, let the wild wind blow Let the dreaming go Repeat 1st verse to Chorus end

My New World The place she called home was high on a hill, way up in a big house under the trees Day's in the sun she's seen by the river, reading a book, feeding her dreams Now she's a loner, now she's a stoner, no one can touch her ... He was the boy, the pride of his mother, stainless and shining, all heaven sent But then the country calls for a soldier and he went out to a foreign land When he returned faces look different, at the end of innocence nothing's the same My new world was spinning me around And that was all that could be My new world was spinning me around And nothing's lost on memory My new world was spinning me around ... Hiked up to Woodstock, she got high in Frisco, summers of love, that child she was wild She had the need for total expression, painting and poetry filled up her mind Boy, he took pride in serving his country, went off to war no more than a child My new world was spinning me around And this is all that i've found My new world was spinning me around And time can be my enemy My new world was spinning me ... Now she's a loner, now she's a stoner, no one can touch her ... Out in the fields we met in the summer On a poetic island no past to recall Breaking like waves we flooded the moment Laughing at the perfectness of it all My new world waits patiently When living is lost in a memory My new world is ahead of me But sometimes I'm back where I used to be ... Then the fall ran away with our time Dissapointment struch so hard When he found out there was no "Lucky stars and stripes" They set it all on fire !!! While Jim and Janis got us higher "She's so freaky, she's so fine" Soldier, he can't get her off his mind Down the desert to the sea Leave the raving 60's all behind ... Out of the blue still reaching for something Feeling the window of time out of mind Catching a glimpse each one to the other Always not knowing the spark left behind Going and going with fictional borders Passing two feet from the door My new world keeps spinning me around And this is all that can be My new world is ahead of me now This is all that I've found My new world keeps spinning me around My new world keeps spinning me And time is not my enemy My new world is ahead of me today And all things pass away ...

Glimpses of Nirvana In the darkness of the night, only occasionally relieved by glimpses of Nirvana as seen through other people's windows, wallowing in a morass of self-despair made only more painful by the knowledge that all I am is of my own making ... When everything around me, even the kitchen ceiling, has collapsed and crumbled without warning. And I am left, standing alive and well, looking up and wondering why and wherefore. At a time like this, which exists maybe only for me, but is nonetheless real, if I can communicate, and in the telling and the bearing of my soul anything is gained, even though the words which I use are pretentious and make you cringe with embarrassment, let me remind you of the pilgrim who asked for an audience with the Dalai Lama. He was told he must first spend five years in contemplation. After the five years, he was ushered into the Dalai Lama's presence, who said, 'Well, my son, what do you wish to know?' So the pilgrim said, 'I wish to know the meaning of life, father.' And the Dalai Lama smiled and said, 'Well my son, life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?' Held close by that which some despise which some call fake, and others lies And somewhat small for one so tall a doubting Thomas who would be? It's written plain for all to see for one who I am with no more it's hard at times, it's awful raw They say that Jesus healed the sick and helped the poor and those unsure believed his eyes - a strange disguise Still write it down, it might be read nothing's better left unsaid only sometimes, still no doubt it's hard to see, it all works out In the Autumn of My Madness In the autumn of my madness when my hair is turning grey for the milk has finally curdled and I've nothing left to say When all my thoughts are spoken (save my last departing birds) bring all my friends unto me and I'll strangle them with words In the autumn of my madness which in coming won't be long for the nights are now much darker and the daylight's not so strong and the things which I believed in are no longer quite enough for the knowing is much harder and the going's getting rough Look to Your Soul I know if I'd been wiser this would never have occurred but I wallowed in my blindness so it's plain that I deserve for the sin of self-indulgence when the truth was writ quite clear I must spend my life amongst the dead who spend their lives in fear of a death that they're not sure of, of a life they can't control It's all so simple really if you just look to your soul Some say that I'm a wise man, some think that I'm a fool It doesn't matter either way: I'll be a wise man's fool For the lesson lies in learning and by teaching I'll be taught for there's nothing hidden anywhere, it's all there to be sought And so if you know anything look closely at the time at others who remain untrue and don't commit that crime Grand Finale (intrumental)
