yamaaii, yamai yamai
I may be a drifter, once or twice I been called a grifter
but I am an honest actor, in my own scene
I may be a be a bit wrong, my songs they may take to long
but you can't deny I got a song to sing
and in my own world, I'm king
god and goddess, author of my own little chapter of the verse
(for what it's worth)
I may be a joker, it's true I do enjoy a toke sir
but I'm an honest liar, when I got call to be
I may have some demons, lost more than a few friends
but you can't deny I keep myself good company
and I look at the world, as a friend
even when that's not supported by, the evidence
yamaaiii, yamai yamai
another day on the sidewalk
got out of bed cause I can't give up
I'm an... ordinary human
look at me I could be you man
another day and I'm still alive
even if I don't exactly thrive,
god willing I will survive
thanks for the ride
thanks for the ride

Didn't have a job today, I can only pray
that I'll find work tomorrow, that I actually enjoy
didn't have a house today, the better to see the stars
wish they weren't so far away, that they can't keep me warm
they're sending light, sending light sending light, so far away
pay me not to play guitar, as you drive by in your big fancy car
pay me not to play, pay me not to play, pay me not to play guitar
cause you couldn't pay me enough not to sing,
if you were wealthy as a king, I'm just using the voice god gave me
cause it's the only thing that saves me
from falling in a deep dark hole of my own thoughts
full of little demons I don't wanna get caught
swimming in a sea of self pity and regret
it's enough to make me wanna quit and yet I'm still here, so
pay me not to play guitar, as you drive by in your big fancy car
pay me not to play, pay me not to play, pay me not to play guitar

Flippy wazza froggy, sittin' on a loggy

they don't need to wear no stuffy 3-piece suit
they don't even need to wear no funky shoe shoe shoes

Natural Human

What can you do, when you're stuck in a modern blue?
bringing out the monster in you, bringing out the monster in you?
and there's no moral way of living anymore
consumerism rapes the earth, rich make war on the poor
and the earth is on it's final legs,
humanity is drinking the dregs of our history
what can you do... etc.
I gotta get away, gotta get away, from myself and everybody else
and the endless quest for wealth, for my health, for my health
cause I am a natural human.
wanna live in the woods, and I wanna be good
and I wanna take you with me, set everybody free of this shitty shitty
I wanna take you with me
set everybody free of this shitty shitty
plastic society, with ya plastic electric caves
and ya plastic horseless carriages, and ya plastic entertainment
all ya plastic people can all get bent
cause I am a natural human
and I wanna take you with me home... (om)

I am androgynous as fuck today,
please don't address me as your male babe
oooo baby, my sweet boyish lady
but if you wanna swing your big dick around,
you just had better watch out my clown
cause I'll slap you in the face with my giant ego
wendy got a big dick here ya go bro
cause I am androgynous as fuck today,
please don't address me as your male babe
I am feelin' myself today
and I'll feel ya too if you want me to
as long as your a gentle man about it
or a gentle lady, anything gentle is ok with me baby
maybe get rough later, between the sheets when I know you better
cause I am androgynous as fuck today,
please don't address me as your male babe

Hold Fast

Life is pain, hold fast
remember to breath all things must pass
take it one day, at a time, but take it but take it but take it
hold fast, storm clouds keep a rollin'
hold fast, your spirit needs this rain for it's growin'
things are starting to get better, things are going the right way
everything's a little clearer, in the light of a new day
life is pain, hold fast, etc.

Be Your Own Best Friend
01:25

walking down the road with a broken heart
soul in tatters, falling apart
wondering what is the use? will anything cure my blues
what is the point of it all, I get so high and then I fall
curl up in a little ball, I don't even wanna crawl
out in the sun again, see if I still got a friend
call out to you again, is anybody listening
you gotta be your own best friend, nobody else will be with you in the end
be your own best friend

I need someone to believe in me, when I can't believe in myself
I need something to set me free, when I'm stuck on the shelf
and I can't take anymore, my hearts on the floor
and life is a bore, being myself is a chore
mamma, shine a light on me, getting much to dark to see
papa, went ahead of we, brother won't you keep me company?
no, don't go, don't you leave me behind

You Are (Love)

Well I sent my lovin' army, down to surround thee
shower you with heavenly love, sending presents from above
well I sent my choir of angels, to entertain yaz
put joy in every heart, inspire your greatest art
well there's nothing more, that I can do
the rest my child, is up to you
you are, you are, you are, you are
love love love love love love love love
and love is the key, to life you seek
open your heart let your soul free
buy the ticket take the ride, look inside to find your guide

oooo honey pie, you are my sweet desire
and I hope that one day you take to the sky
and dance with the stars,
I hope to see you there are I hear they got, a pretty good diner on Mars

waiting at the ready to take, your order with style

with every song you ever heard, every song in the whole universe
goodbye my honeypie, hope to see you in the by & by
you know I tell no lie(ha!) this love will never die (puke)

the whole show, cause we won't grow,
and nobody really needs to know, nothing bout' us anyway
cause we're ok, ain't really got nothin' much to say but
I love you I love you I love you hoo hoo hooo ooo oooo ooo ooo ooo-oo
I love you I love you hooo hooo hooo ooo ooo
and I just want the world to know
that this song is available for a hallmark ad

Come Home
01:46

You've been gone so long, but we still know your name
you don't have to explain
did you fall on hard times, did you live in sin?
we will still let you in, we will always let you in
brother, walk with me a while
all I want is to see you smile
and now you say you lost your soul
I'll do whatever I can to pull you, out of your hole
cause I know your blue, I'm lonely too
I wonder who, can pull us through
you don't have to walk in darkness
you don't have to walk alone
please don't give up now
you can always come home...
to sleep in the shack Tony built in my garage anyway. HA.

Mr. House was a good house
he sheltered us from the rain
and the snow
and kept us warm
and safe from bears
and marauders
and Jehovas witnesses
We loved Mr. House
and every few years we'd give him a fresh coat of paint
fix his broken glasses
and polish them
clean the leaves out of his eyebrows
and pull up the weeds that tickle his toes
but one day a hail storm came
it rained down on Mr. House and knocked holes in his hat
we were safe inside, but now it was time for Mr. House to get a new hat
So we went to the lumberjack and bought some wood
got some nails and things from the hardware man
then mommy and daddy, and some of their friends
climbed a very big ladder, being careful not to fall off
cause daddy was to broke to pay his insurance premiums
and built Mr. House a new hat
everyone in the neighborhood came out to see
and everyone said "my what a fine new hat Mr. House has!"
And that made Mr. House Smile
THE END!

badeba-badooo I wantchya to know

why are you wearin' that hat, it makes you look fat oh no
badeba-badooo I wantchya to know
Oh-oh you hazy head, get up out of bed

march up and down, carry us all round' town
uh oh what pretty legs they are, they can even drive a car
but to be clear, my hands will steer,
but it would be great if they could work the gas and brakes

You are not the way, you are not the way you feel
you are not who, you are not who you are
everyone is more, everyone is less
everyone is everyone, and everything I guess
You are not the way, you are not the way you feel
you are not who, you are not who you are
an actor in this cosmic play, what will you do today?
You are not the way, you are not the way you feel
you are not who, you are not who you are
All these angels all these devils, they don't bother me none
I know that god is a woman, she's mother earth that's all
she's mother earth that's all, she's mother earth that's all (boom boom)
she's mother earth that's all, she's mother earth that's all (boom boom)
etc.
