All We Need 04:00
In the heavens, no star is out of reach In the oceans, no fathom is too deep Forget the pressure, forget toxicity For the pleasure of mixed company All we need, all we need All we need is a little faith in us, in us, in us, in us All we need is a little faith in us, in us, in us, in us All we need is us And all we need is us In the mountains, no cloud is out of reach In the wreckage, no pain and suffering Forget the fissures, forget industry For the pleasure of puppet mastery All we need, all we need All we need is a little faith in us, in us, in us, in us All we need is a little faith in us, in us, in us, in us All we need is us And all we need is us All we need is a little faith in us, in us, in us, in us All we need is a little faith in us, in us, in us, in us All we need is us All we need is us All we need, all we need, all we need, all we need All we need, all we need, all we need, all we need All we need, all we need, all we need, all we need is us And all we need is us

I just can’t believe it’s true, we’ve had it up to here I just can’t believe it’s true, we’ve had it up to here I just can’t believe it’s true, I just can’t believe it’s true Can’t get thru the smoke and mirrors So you say, everything ain’t easy When you go the wrong way So you say, it never meant anything So you say, to give a shit is a shame Cause it’s not a fair game So you say, you’ll never say you’ll never say I just can’t believe it’s true, we’ve had it up to here I just can’t believe it’s true, we’ve had it up to here I just can’t believe it’s true, I just can’t believe it’s true Can’t get thru the smoke and mirrors So you say, everyone is feeling What it is you’re meaning So you say, disintegrate anyway So you say, it’s all about dreaming And if there is a safe way So you say, I’ll fast from my scheming I just can’t believe it’s true, we’ve had it up to here I just can’t believe it’s true, we’ve had it up to here I just can’t believe it’s true, I just can’t believe it’s true Can’t get thru the smoke and mirrors I just can’t believe it’s true I just can’t believe it’s true I just can’t believe it’s true I just can’t believe it’s true I just can’t believe it’s true I just can’t believe it’s true Can't get thru the smoke and mirrors

What’s the matter with people today They only gather for chaos and hate Who are the people with matter at play Some say scientists and some say keepers of the faith Just one in the same Spooky action at a distance And a leap of faith To eulogize the baleful To make an about face To consider the tranquil To consider the shape What’s the energy for the future’s sake Never mind the symmetry enjoy the escape Can’t help figuring to wonder it out There is nothing left, there’s nothing right to doubt Just one in the same Spooky action at a distance And a leap of faith To eulogize the baleful To make an about face To consider the tranquil To consider the shape Just one in the same Spooky action at a distance And a leap of faith To eulogize the baleful To make an about face To consider the tranquil To consider the shape

If you must know how much it is that I love you Like a garden grows from the root to the stem and bloom We might fall, we might want to quit But despite it all, you two make it worth it If you must know, just know, I love you like you love me If you must know, just know, I love you like you love me If you must know like a dream up and downstream It would be Lucy to be more than the things she’s seen We might fail, be all done with it But despite it all, you two make it worth it If you must know, just know, I love you like you love me If you must know, just know, I love you like you love me I love you You love me I love you You love me I love you You love me I love you two If you must know, just know, I love you like you love me If you must know, just know, I love you like you love me If you must know, just know, I love you like you love me If you must know, just know, I love you like you love me Come on baby, one more time If you must know, just know, I love you like you love me

Let It Ride 03:41
You flew away with me sky high at top speed Who knew this fantasy could deny our wildest dreams Let it ride, let it ride to a clearer view Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride to a brand new you Never, never will you grow Forever, see you at the show Together for a moment we will know For a moment we will know Lay your money down pray to this thorny crown Don’t detour, don’t delay (delay, delay) it’s what you got me for It’s what you got me for Let it ride, let it ride to a clearer view Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride to a brand new you Never, never will you grow Forever, see you at the show Together for a moment we will know For a moment we will know For a moment we will know For a moment we will know

Word Got Out 04:20
Rumor has it, rumor has it that they’ve done it again To leave an enemy a friendly, friendly friend To spin the maladies that never ever end Humiliates realities we cling to defend Rumor has it that we got the Bernin’ solution It’s just another doomed populist revolution Surprises us the same again and again Surprises us the same again and again Word got out, word got out That you got it all figured out Word got out, word got out That you got it all figured out Word got out, word got out That you got it all figured out Gloom and havoc, gloom and havoc can I have it again? To be as spastic, it’s fantastic to the bitter end So hop on along and let’s go for a spin Failed futures old men want you to believe in Surprises us the same again and again Surprises us the same again and again Word got out, word got out That you got it all figured out Word got out, word got out That you got it all figured out Word got out, word got out That you got it all figured out Surprises us the same again and again Surprises us the same again and again Word got out, word got out That you got it all figured out Word got out, word got out That you got it all figured out Word got out, word got out That you got it all figured out
