Talk to a human
Give a dog a bone
Press one two three
Pound key at the tone
Drive by satellite
To get home
Blame retrograde
And sleep alone
Alone
Alone online
Looking for some water
Or a sign … of life
Press star one nine
Please hold
To reach mankind
Messenger to Mercury
Messenger to Mercury
I want to talk to a human
Talk to a human
Only if it pays
It’s dog eat dog
On the race to space
Download
Update
Phone to face
The big machine
Knows our place
In line
Alone in line
We’re Bumper to bumper
In the daily grind
They troll
The rabbit-hole
Please hold
To keep your soul
Messenger to Mercury
Messenger to Mercury …
I want to talk to a human
Messenger to Mercury
Where is my humanity
Messenger to Mercury
Where is my humanity
Talk to a human
How they gonna hear
I’m invisible to them
Let me be clear
It’s about the money
Honey ain’t about you
Unplug the yellow
Try the blue
Alright
I’m back online
Looking for somebody
Or a sign
Of life
Press star one nine
Please hold to reach mankind
Please hold to reach mankind
Please hold me
Please hold me
Please hold to reach mankind
Please hold to reach mankind
Please hold me
I want to talk to a human

Mi Madre
When I was a kid my hair couldn't be tamed
I had double A’s that wouldn't be trained
One went east the other west
I had to lift my arms just to see my chest
I knew all the names of the supermodels
By the time that I turned 13
I wanted to be skinny
But curvy like the girls
In my mother’s Glamour Magazines
Ai yi yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre
Ai yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre
Eggs and chorizo fryin’ in a pan
Poppin’ like the belt
In my mi madre’s hand
My house my rules is what she said
I moved out but she stayed in my head
Good enough – ain’t ever gonna be it
Pretty enough – ain’t ever gonna see it
Looking in the mirror who do I see
Mi Madre cantando estoy aqui para ti
(My mother singing I’m here for you)
Ai yi yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre
Ai yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre (Intro X 4)
Justo como mi madre (Just like my mother)
Escondo botellas de vino (I hide wine bottles)
Justo como mi madre (Just like my mother)
Yo bebo demasiado (I drink too much)
Justo como mi madre (Just like my mother)
Siempre a dieta (I’m always on a diet)
Poco
Loco
En la cabeza (A little crazy in the head)
Justo como mi madre (Just like my mother)
Mi fuerza (my strength)
Mi esperanza (my hope)
Justo como mi madre (Just like my mother)
En corazon y alma (my heart my soul)
Justo como mi madre (Just like my mother)
Bueno y lo malo (the good and bad)
Justo como mi madre
Mucho mucho mucho
Ai yi yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre
Ai yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre
Ai yi yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre
Ai yi yi yi erra justo como mi madre
Amo a mi madre (I love my mom)
Quero a mi madre (I want my mother)
Como mi madre
Suckin on my tic tacs
Vino en aliento (wine on breath)
Like dust on the knic-knacks
Como mi madre
Aqui para ti
Enough about you
Let’s talk about me
Estare
Erra justo como mi madre
Estare
Erra justo como mi madre

Choice

I’m younger than my mother’s bible
Old enough to seek revival
Mortality gets to haunting me
The end zone is closing in
What might have been has gone
I’m tough enough in my own skin
To just move on
Freedom, is just a choice away
Freedom, is a just a choice away
I’m too young to retire
Too old to get hired
Found my crazy
Lost my mind
In the valley of the daily grind
Father son holy ghost
It’s clarity I miss the most
My head plays tricks on me sometime
Freedom, is just a choice away
Freedom, is a just a choice away
Now the younger me is running free
And the older me is here
Wondering if the best of me
Got swallowed by the years
If it did don’t tell me
Leave me where I am
It took a leap of faith
For me to land
Freedom, is just a choice away
Freedom, is just a choice away

Dogging Me

Baby you keep on doggin me
Ease on up and let me be
Don't you cut me down in front of my friends
Then crawl in bed and try to make amends
You keep on dogging me, Keep on dogging me
You keep on dogging me, Keep on dogging me
You keep on doggin’ till the blues come around
You got my soul, You got my heart
So baby don't you pick me apart
You gotta gag your nag, Have a little fun
Little things make you come undone
Come undone
Come undone
You beat my head like a bongo drum
If you want a ride baby use your thumb
It’s in my head that’s what you say
Then you bust my chops and you walk away
Walk away
I want to tempt you with my lips
Feel your body with my fingertips
Make you moan flip your switch
But all you wanna to do is …

Mandie from Allsups
With a hairdo gone wrong
Loves chicken chimichangas
And old country songs
She used to teach high school
Now she just drives around
In her ol’ Chevy side step
She picks me up when I’m down
Make me worthy
Of the love of my friends
Cause when I’m with them
I’m all right …
Make me worthy
Of the love of my friends
‘Cause when I’m with them
I’m all right
I’m all right …
We float down the river
When life goes upstream
We roll dice and play cards
Drink wine and share dreams
It took a long time
To grow old friends like mine
They circle the wagons
When I need peace of mind
We make the colors
Inside of the wheel
The labyrinth we walk
Reminds us what’s real
We’re the enneagram
The Yin and the Yang
In good times and bad
They’re the ones who remain
When all of my days
In this world are done
I'm gonna jump on a rocket
And meet you in the sun
We'll roll ‘round the moon
Poke holes in the dark
So those that we love
Might see us in the stars
Make me worthy
Of the love of my friends
Cause when I’m with them
It’s all right …
Make me worthy
Of the love of my friends
‘Cause when I’m with them
I’m all right
It’s all right
I’m all right

WASP
03:45
|

|
She left her family on the farm
Quit her job and sold her charms
Traded in the life she knew
To fly those planes in WW2
She flew to serve her country
And she’d make history
With the Women Airforce Service Pilots
Known as WASP
It was zoot suits parachutes
Landing gear and tires
Good ol’ boys made the noise
Fly girls put out the fires
Watch them fly
High above the mountains
Watch them fly
From sea to shining sea
Lift them up
They’re the WASP
They fly on silver wings
Watch’ em fly
They tested planes and ferried them
For men in WW2
They flew 60 million miles
And did every job a man could do
The WASP
Flew without compromise
With ice on their wings
And dust in their eyes
They trained in Sweetwater Texas
At Avenger field
Cars lined highway 80
To see them lift their wheels
Watch’ em fly
High above the mountains
Watch them fly
From sea to shining sea
Lift them up
They’re the WASP
They fly on silver wings
Watch’ em fly
Nancy Love
And Jackie Cochran
Pinned those wings
And led the song
Buckle down Fifinella
Sing it loud
And prove’ em wrong
Put a flag on her casket
Let the truth be known
Put medals on her jacket
It’s time to bring the flygirls home
It was zoot suits parachutes
Landing gear and tires
Good ol’ boys made the noise
Fly girls put out the fires
Watch’ em fly
High above the mountains
Watch them fly
From sea to shining sea
Lift them up
They’re the WASP
They fly on silver wings
Watch’ em fly

I Hear Your Song
03:39

|
I hear your song
I listen to the melody
You bring hope to me
Your voice takes me away
The words you sing
Always carry me home
To the place we call our own
I hear your song
Sometimes this world
Isn’t meant for you or me
We see things we can’t unsee
We feel more than we should
I hear your song
Though you hide the lesser known
The ones that cut to the bone
I hear your song
I would pull the heavens down
To help the angels reach the ground
They’d return
All you’ve lost back to you
I’ll be your voice
When you have no words to say
When you can't drive away
I’ll take the wheel
I’ll come along
When you need me to
Your days alone are through
I hear your song
I would pull the heavens down
To help the angels reach the ground
They’d return
All you’ve lost back to you
I hear your song
I listen to the melody
You bring hope to me
I hear your song
The words you sing
Always carry me home
To the place we call our own
I hear your song
