A CHANGE OF ALTITUDE
HERE ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.
THERE’S A LITTLE TIKI BAR THAT PLAYS ALL BUFFETT’S TUNES.
AND WHEN THE EARTH SETS AND I DRAW MY PAY
THAT’S WHERE I GO TO GET AWAY
CHORUS:
WE’VE GOT NO BEACHES UP HERE
WE’VE GO NO SHELL TO SELL THE OCEAN TO OUR EARS
BUT WE’VE GOT BOAT DRINKS TO PUT US IN THE MOOD
FOR A LITTLE CHANGE OF ALTITUDE
HERE ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
IT’S ALMOST HAPPY HOUR, AND NOT A BIT TOO SOON.
BREAK OUT THE QUERVO, PLAY MARGARITAVILLE ,
I GOT SOME BRAIN CELLS TO KILL.
CHORUS:
WE’VE GOT NO BEACHES UP HERE
WE’RE LUCKY TO BE BREATHIN RECYLED ATMOSPHERE.
WITHOUT A LITTLE JUICY FRUIT, A MAN COULD COME UNGLUED
WE NEED A CHANGE OF ALTITUDE
HERE ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
MY CONTRACTS UP AND I AM BLASTIN OFF AT
CAUSE THEY’VE GOT SOME BEACHES DOWN THERE
SOON I’LL BE SOAKIN UP THE SUN IN ST. SOMEWERE.
GONNA GET MY LICENSE TO CHILL RE-NEWED.
WITH A LITTLE CHANGE OF ALTITUDE.

Who Could Ask For More

WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE
WE’VE GOT PAL M TREES, MANATEES, WHITE SAND BEACHES AND AN OCEAN BREEZE.
A STEADY 72 DEGREES. WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE
WE’VE GOT BLUE SKIES, TIDES THAT RISE, TIKI BARS AND KEY LIME PIES.
ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE. WHO COULD ASK FOR MORE.
SOME FOLKS LOV THE GREAT WHITE NORTH.
THE SNOW AND ICE AND THE WINTER SPORTS.
I CAN TELL YOU IT’S NOT FOR ME. WATCH THE WINTER ON MY TV
GET MY BLIZZARDS FROM THE DAIRY QUEEN
CHORUS
THE SUMMERS FINE IN THE NORTHERN STATES
THEY’VE GOT THE GOLF AND THEY’VE GOT THE LAKES
BUT IT DOESN’T LAST LONG ENOUGH. THE WINTER COMES AND THE WEATHER SUCKS.
ANYBODY WANT TO LIVE THROUGH THAT’S JUST NUTS.
CHORUS

A Simple Life

A SIMPLE LIFE
I’M NOT INTO FAST SPORTS CARS
ROLEX WATCHES, CAVIAR
BUT THAT’S FINE FOR THOSE WHO ARE
IT’S JUST NOT FOR ME
I NEVER FELT THE NEED FOR SPEED
A LUST FOR POWER, THE TASTE OF GREED
DON’T ALWAYS HAVE TO SING THE LEAD
DON’T HAVE TO BE THE STAR
CHORUS:
ALL I WANTS A SIMPLY LIFE
THE SUN BY DAY AND THE STARS AT NIGHT
BE CONTENT TO LEAVE THIS LIFE THE WAY THAT I CAME IN
I MAY NOT HAVE A CLAIM TO FAME
HAVE BEYONCE SAY MY NAME
GO SAILING WITH THE KING OF SPAIN
BUT I DON’T GIVE A DAMN
REPEAT CHORUS
I MAY NOT MAKE IT TO THE TOP
A SIMPLE SONG IS ALL I’VE GOT
BUT MAYBE I COULD PLANT A THOUGHT
SOMEONE MIGHT UNDERSTAND
ALL I WANTS ANOTHER DAY
TO RIDE THIS ROCK THROUGH OUTER SPACE
AND FEEL THE WIND UPON MY FACE
TILL ETERNITY BEGINS, FORGIVIN OF MY SINS.

Celestial Navigation
03:17

CELESTIAL NAVIGATION
BACK BEFORE THE COMPASS, WHEN MAPS WERE NOT THE BEST
CELESTIAL NAVIGATION PUT SAILORS TO THE TEST
WHEN CHARTED DESTINATION WERE SOMETIMES HARD TO FIND
THEY SET A COURSE AND SAID A PRAYER
THAT THE STARS WOULD SHINE
WHEN THEY FOUND THE POWER TO NAVIGATE THE SEA
THEY CONQUERED FEAR AND RAISED THE SAILS TO A FRESHENING BREEZE
TO GO WHERE NO ONE’S GONE BEFORE BECAME THEIR DESTINY
AND FAR BEYOND THEIR HEARTH AND HOME, THESE WORDS BECAME OUR CREED
CHORUS:
TRUST THE STARS IN THE SKY, ‘CAUSE THE HEAVENS NEVER LIE
KEEP THOSE CONSTANT CONSTELLATIONS IN YOUR SIGHTS.
THE SOUTHERN CROSS AND THE NORTHERN STAR WILL SHOW YOU WERE YOU ARE
LET CELESTIAL NAVIGATION BE YOUR GUIDE, BE YOUR GUIDE.
IT’S NOT HARD TO IMAGINE WHAT THOSE EARLY SAILORS FELT
WHEN A GALE WOULD BLOW THEM OFF THEIR COURSE AND THE STARS WOULD BE NO HELP
SOME OF THEM WOULD CURSE THEIR LUCK AND SOME OF THEM WOULD PRAY
SOME WOULD CALL FOR THE CAPTAIN AND THE CAPTAIN HE WOULD SAY
LIKE THOSE EARLY SAILORS WE SOMETIMES LOSE OUR WAY
BUT WE LOOK FOR OUR DIRECTION MUCH DIFFERENTLY TODAY
NOW WE HAVE THE COMPASS AND SATELLITES IN SPACE
BUT WE STILL RELY UPON THE SKY TO HELP US FIND OUR PLACE.

Goin' Nowhere Fast
03:33
|

|
GOIN NOWHERE FAST
THE SUN SETS IN A WESTERN SKY, ANOTHER DAY GOES BY
SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE I AM GOIN NOWHERE FAST
NO USE TO COMPLAIN, FOOD FOR THOUGHT IN THE DRIVE THRU LANE
THE CAR IN FRONT WANTS A BURGER PLAIN, WE’RE GOIN NOWHERE FAST
THE WORLD TURNS AND AROUND WE GO, 25K IN A DAY OR SO
IT FEELS LIKE WE’RE STANDIN STILL, IT ALWAYS HAS, MAYBE ALWAYS WILL
THE WIND DIES, THE SAILS STALL, SLOWS THE BOAT DOWN TO A CRAWL
OUT OF RANGE FOR A CELL PHONE CALL, WE’RE GOIN NOWHERE FAST
WE’RE IN A COSMIC NASCAR RACE, THE DAYTONA TRACK IN OUTER SPACE
WITH NO CONCERN FOR THE DESTINATION OR THE GRAVITY OF THE SITUATION
THE SUN SHINES, THE WIND BLOWS, THE TIDES RISE THE GULF STREAM FLOWS
WHERE WE’RE HEADED NO ONE KNOWS, BUT WE’RE GOIN NOWHERE FAST
SOMETIMES I THINK IT’S FINE, GOIN NOWHERE FAST
SOMETIMES I THINK IT’S FINE, GOIN NOWHERE FAST
GOIN NOWHERE, FLAT WITH NO SPARE, GOT NO BUS FARE, REALLY DON’T CARE…..

Snowin' In Jamaica

SNOWIN IN JAMAICA
SEA LEVELS RISIN AND THE GULF STREAMS MOVIN SOUTH
THE WEATHER’S CHANGIN AND THE OZONE’S RUNNIN OUT
THIS GLOBAL WARMIN’S CAUSIN TROUBLE IN THE SEAS
COULD IT BE HELL’S ABOUT TO FREEZE?
ICE BERGS ARE FLOATIN DOWN THE PANAMA CANAL
WHEN IT DON’T RAIN IN SPAIN OR EVEN SOUTHERN CAL.
WHEN HOT IS COLD AND WET IS DRY AND COLD IS HOT
THE ONLY CONSTANT IS THIS GOOD THING THAT WE’RE GOT
WHEN THEY’RE SURFIN THE SAHARA FROM MALI TO BARAIN
WHEN THE SUNSHINE DOWN IN RIO TURNS INTO FREEZIN RAIN
WHEN IT’S 10 BELOW IN BAMACO AND NOBODY’S IN CANCUN
WHEN IT’S SNOWIN IN JAMIACA, I’LL STILL BE LOVIN YOU
GLACIERS ARE MELTIN AND THE SNOW HAS DISAPPEARED
IN THIS SCENARIO THAT EVERYBODY FEARED.
NOBODY KNOWS JUST WHAT THE FUTURE HAS IN STORE
BUT THERE’S ONE THING I KNOW FOR SURE.
CHORUS
BRING ON THE DROUGHTS AND MUDSLIDES, MONSOONS AND HURRICANES
IN MY HEART THE SUNSHINES EVER SINCE YOU CAME MY WAY.

THE KEYS DISEASE
DECEMBER IN CHICAGO, ONLY ONE MORE MONTH TO GO
TILL SHE COULD BOARD THAT SOUTHBOUND PLANE AND LEAVE THIS ICE AND SNOW
AS SHE WALKED HOME FROM HER OFFICE, THE COLD WIND ON HER FACE
SHE THOUGHT ABOUT KEY LARGO AND HOW MUCH SHE MISSED THAT PLACE.
SHE’D CAUGHT THE KEY’S DISEASE AND THE ONLY CURE WAS TO GET BACK THERE ONCE MORE
FOR A HEALTHY DOSE OF OCEAN SAND AND SUN
SHE NEEDS A BIG PIECE OF KEY LIME PIE AND WATCH THE GREEN FLASH CROSS THE SKY
THOSE ARE THE ONLY FOOL PROOF REMEDIES WHEN YOU’VE GOT THE KEY’S DISEASE.
SHE REMEMBERED HER VACATION BACK IN 2003, WHEN SHE AND HER FRIEND JENNIFER
PAID A VISIT TO THE KEYS
THEY FLEW INTO MIAMI, TOOK THE DRIVE DOWN A1A, THAT’S WHEN SHE CAUGHT THE FEVER
AND SHE’S HAD IT SINCE THAT DAY
CHORUS
NOW THE WAITIN’S OVER AND THE DAY IS FINALLY HERE
FROM THE WINDOW SEAT MARKED 7B, CHICAGO DISAPPEARS
AS THE 727 RISES THROUGH THE CLOUDS
SUDDENLY THE SUN APPEARS AND THE WHOLD PLANE SHOUTS OUT LOAD
REPEAT CHORUS

Where I Belong

WHERE I BELONG
I don’t know why I didn’t come here sooner
I don’t know why it took me so long
I don’t know why I didn’t find out sooner
But I’m glad that I found WHERE I BELONG
Maybe I was just afraid to face the great unknown
Maybe I was too content there in my comfort zone
Maybe I’ll never know what brought me to this place
Better late than never, to find some better weather
Some people put down roots where their seeds are sown
I was a small town boy who’d never left his home
But things are different now and I like what I see
Glad I got the notion to hang out be the ocean
Sometimes I think about the life I left behind
Sometimes the old friends and the good times cross my mind
Sometime I might go back there, but until that day
This destination is a permanent vacation
