Chorus: I’m takin' it easy Just takin' my time I’ve got my eyes upon the road I pay no mind to what’s behind Don’t know where I’m heading And I don’t mind I’ve got my ducks in a row And my stars in a line I’m fine. Damani: Easy like Sunday mornin The night before It was pourin As i set out for the day wit no plans Clear sky’s no grey In sight My insight tells me to catch a train & just ride the wave of the rhythm of the tracks Observe, sit back & relax I’m lookin out the window My imagination in tact Lookin within I’m lookin to spend the day Adventuring out Whatever the route Natural guide The map’s inside It’s a seat open next to me If you let go of your pride Let the rest just be Let’s just be Let’s just see Who knows The road traveled is the best for we The road less traveled is the best retreat When it happens natur- ally Let’s just see Let’s just see let’s just see No need to speed............ let the rest just be Camille: Such a long way to go But I feel like I’m already where I’m posed to be (Be) Light coat for the winter breeze Notepad full of subtleties But Seems like I’m always in transit mental roadblocks I get passed em Fascinated by the people who pass me And they patterns Everything on the fly ..... Living in full color I’m expanding my palette I’m stamped with need to discover The new And uncover the truth Its amazing what time traveling do To the overall being Im just being still everything is fleeting But self and piece of home is always worth keeping So Let’s link Earl grey to match the day coordination To a tea I’m grown now but still playing hide and seek Ain’t it sweet I’ll see you next week

V1 We all wanna eat the cake, But nobody wants to die, Nobody wants to jump, Cause no one knows how high. We all wanna go both ways, But nobody can decide, We all want the real McCoy, But the furthest we seem to get is the Four by Five. We all want a little love, But a little love is in short supply, We’re forever beating around the bush, While the garden’s getting drought dry. We all need a little grease, Be it for the wheel or for the hand, We swallow the bitter pill, Though for what reason we never understand CH1 I probably wouldn’t wager my freedom, For people basing life offa TV shows, Folks are living life by the needle, Is it just me, or is that just the way it goes? Heaven knows… V2 Franklyn… Penny for my thoughts get your wallets out, Plenty people posing all they want is clout, There’s danger, disaster and there’s a lot of doubt, Blowing cali just to cope it’s got us cotton-mouthed, So many questions unanswered man only heaven knows, How much time that I’ve wasted and how much bread I’ve blown, How many tears I’ve shed, prayers I’ve said for my friends on road, It was December cold, All this stress I hold, But I see the bigger picture so I’m keeping focused, I’ve been chasing these figures but it’s just freedom tokens, Look how this wicked system got my people hopeless, I want that whip without the roof me while there’s people homeless, Gotta starve the distractions and try and feed the focus, I’m about that action not a peaceful protest, The more I reflect on our mortality, The more I accept this is all vanity. CH2 I probably wouldn’t wager my freedom, For people basing life offa TV shows, Folks are living life by the needle, Is it just me, or is that just the way it goes? Heaven knows… V3 No one knows what they want, But everybody knows just what they don’t, Everyone says they will, But we all know that they won’t. Gluttony killed the cat, We all know a cat who got the cream, While felines are getting fat, The mice are doing all the work, getting twice as lean. We all want to know the truth, But most of us live a lie, Bitten off more than we can chew It’s getting hard to deny. We all wanna tie the knot, Til we get a case of the cold feet, We all say we’ll take the shot, Til we’ve got the gun in hand, and we’re in the heat. CH3 I probably wouldn’t wager my freedom, For people basing life offa TV shows, Folks are living life by the needle, Is it just me, or is that just the way it goes? Heaven knows… Kids are out there facing their demons, Never had the chance for dream to grow, People getting locked up for treason, When all they wanna see is the truth exposed, Heaven knows…

CH I used to say I’d be a spaceman, Said I would walk on the moon, They used to say I’d be a heartbreaker, Maybe I woke up to soon… V1: Alfa Mist Before reality descends Before they burn the Let the anarchy avenge Let me indulge in the fallacy of men To whom the end of the fantasy depends I used to love her she was casually a friend It was cliche I had to see the trend That was there since the days of adam and even then I was still kinda sad to see it end Dealt the losers hand School days me and you began Year 9 but we speak of future plans I was caught up in being superman I thought I could sort everything in my life by When i was young i was blind to any sign Fast forward i saw you again we spoke of better times You told me I promised a wedding ring I said I used to say many things I mean remember when… CH I used to say I’d be a spaceman, Said I would walk on the moon, They used to say I’d be a heartbreaker, Maybe I woke up to soon… V2: Lester Duval We grew up on the outside Never quite fitting in with the crowd and the limelight Every night we’d go out but we’d come back early We never really got the vibe right In my mind it was just a game, Whether we threw down or lost out, it was all the same, We’d still come home to the front porch and play double dutch til the birds stopped singing their song And the light got low And the words in my head stopped spinning way off And the blood in my heart stopped beating real fast and got real slow Cause I know now no matter what’s up or down I’ve always got you, and you know you got me too CH I used to say I’d be a spaceman, Said I would walk on the moon, They used to say I’d be a heartbreaker, Maybe I woke up to soon… Outro a) They come and go and seem to stay… …by night and gone by day, Each time we’re close they fall away, away, away, away, away. b) Dark days lead me down the road to nowhere, Pathway’s hidden but it’s out there somewhere, Stargaze take me down the rabbit hole, Maybe Alice knows how, how far it goes down.
