Pretties For You

1. Titanic Overture

(instrumental)

2. 10 Minutes Before the Worm

Let me be
What a way for one too realise
Gotta waste a bore now I see
How he is so happy feeling sad

Heavily Depressed

God I knew
Think I will enjoy the view
-oy the view, -oy the view
Everything is standing still
...ill ...ill

3. Sing Low, Sweet Cheerio

Forget, remember nothing
The force came from the flame
I pass along the path inside
My light shinning always
We'll get there first a name cried out
And looked back all the way
Recall falling down a lot of time was spent that way
But this story staring me has already begun
'Cuz I had some vision in my sight
On the journey to be one
Help me, help please, help me please
The screaming starts again
But the trick I find something hid
You look, you find, I win
While working while the play was on
The play was alright then
Think thought, big thoughts
Take off and go back again next week
Right then my story ended
And a new one had begun
'Cuz I had some vision in my sight
On the journey to be one

4. Today Mueller

Today Mueller
Let it happen
Happy slappin', tappin' paddy-oh
She'd like to give her life away
Like to stay another day
Try it out another way
Arh, today, today, today, today mueller
Give your notice of your leaving
Arh, today, today, today, today mueller
Don't tell them you can't go with me
This will always be
Red rover, red rover
Pass under, pass over, pass through
And over, and over the White Cliffs of Dover with you
Today mueller
Make it happen

5. Living

Living is only one part of being
Believing is to know just what your feeling
You weren't supposed to think you know
You heard
I'm sure you knowing your growing and it's you
Thinking is your own world of living
Dreaming is the one way to feeling
Your wind and your eye can see everything that you
The only real person you need to know is you

6. Fields Of Regret

Forever I'll enjoy you undertaking
Come to see you every day now if I can
Is it not the time for everybody
I still wake on the fields of regret
There is something to this dream we're all involved in
Can I see it, can I say it
[May exist] or [Makes sense]
Why then don't the night show really matters
If we dwell in the fields of regret
What horror must invade the mind
When the approaching judge shall find
Sinful Deeds from all mankind
With death and nature in surprise
Behold the wretched sinners rise
To meet the judge's searching eyes
And when the doomed no more can flee
From the flames of misery
Assist me while I die
Wander through those ever thoughts though if imagined
But come down on it's so easy to resist (?)
Rest me, hide my years upon the planet [or ..ears...]
Sound another, no part over, won't forget
When we laugh at the fields of regret.

7. No Longer Umpire

We've been so caught up in the subject of personnel
Playing and acting, and slaving and bathing oursleves
Her lies and her tries to come over everyone
Painting a picture to show everyone in the world
Fearing is natural
New names and places can bring
Build ups and barriers hiding behind everything
Her lies and her tries to come over everyone
Painting a picture to show everyone in the world

8. Levity Ball (Live At the Cheetah)

I got my invitation to the annual levity ball
Seeing the location is within the mirrored room
Walking in my room I found I had nothing to find
I got into my evening wear and left my clothes behind
I sat down at the stairway seven hours at a time
Writing all of this poetry that I knewq would never rhyme
The memory I know I must have had when I came in
Was of some place I'd never ever been
And then in came a cake all decorated in my name
With four paper brown candles are all spelling out this name
The clock was passing out from time to time
I saw it all at the beginning of the ending of my first levity ball

9. B. B. On Mars

Go
Now let's see what's going on
See inside
It's quite inside, see
Now let's hear what's going on
Hear inside

10. Reflected

Look upstanding with your head held high
You will be reflected
You look outstanding with your eyes in disguise
Just beyond your glasses
Holy, how he would keep, it's devine
I'm surely glad, I'm surely over town
And even though I'm you will always here
Very rarely worry almost constantly
Could you be receptive
Our life's outstanding in a shower please
Wet my skins a plenty
Baby, what a day I love our town
I'm surely glad, I'm surely all around
And even since I knew it all so clear
You will be reflected
You will be reflected
You will be reflected
You will be reflected, reflected

11. Apple Bush

October in a land that's in my back yard
There's a people who succeed they don't try hard
Well, they've found a way to live with ease
Eating from the bush instead of the tree
Apple bush, apple tree
Back to eternity
Find you a path and you buy with a car
Apple bush, apple tree
Back to eternity
Cut you a path with a chance may might fall
Move over in a corner, standing there
Tell my house they have to see it again
But my house doesn't worry it's got a path of it's own
And a bush, and a tree
Gotta leave it alone
Apple Bush, apple tree
Back to eternity
Find you a path and you buy with a car
Apple bush, apple tree
Back to eternity
Cut you a path with a chance may might fall
Someday like my house you're going to chose too
If you cut this new path well the old one will do
If you live with the people who live with ease
The red apple bush, the blue apple tree

12. Earwigs to Eternity

Oh, four years long
And oh, what a sigh to hear, my dear
Four long years
Now we stop to hear a whisper
Alice Cooper
All of the time we have
All of the time we have you
All of the time we have
All of the time we have
We are throwing all of our hands so high
You out there
Singing lovely dittie beautiful song for you to be aware
All of the time we have
All of the time we have you
All of the time we have
All of the time we have
All of the time we have you
You're the one your looking for
Let me in, let me in
Who's there, who's there, who's there

13. Changing, Arranging

I'm changing, arranging
Things I never thought I'd move before
I'm changing, arranging
To your personality I asked for it before
I need a soul who never say what I feel
Just fearing that I will accept the ideal
I lick the pie and I sweat all I see
It's a carbon copy image of me
I'm dying had trying
Baby, baby, for the rest of my life
I'm trying had dying
Maybe, maybe he's trying to be my life
I've got a never ending battle inside
Just trying to rectify my personal pride
I swear I don't know what it's got over me
But I know it doesn't want to be free
