“This summer I swam in a public place
And a reservoir to boot
At the latter I was informal
At the former I wore my suit
I wore my swimming suit
This summer I did swan dives
And jack-knives for you all
And once when you weren’t looking
I did a cannon ball
I did a cannon ball
This summer I went swimming
This summer I might have drowned
But I held my breath, I kicked my feet
And moved my arms around
I moved my arms around”
“Give me something I haven’t seen
Give me the red light turning green
Give me the words but not the page
Give me it all
Give me the time but not an age
Give me a look but not the rage
Give me the feel for where I’ll go
Give me it all”
“Do you realize? That you have the most beautiful face
Do you realize? We’re floating in space,
Do you realize? That happiness makes you cry
Do you realize? That everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It’s hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn’t go down
It’s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round”
“Been lookin’ at the stars tonight
And I think “Ohh how I miss the bright sun”
I’ll be a dreamer ‘til the day I die.
And they say “Ohhh, how the good die young”
But we’re all strange, and maybe we don’t want to change”
“This is a song for anyone
With a broken heart
This is a song for anyone
Who can’t get out of bed
I’ll do anything
To be happy
Oh, ‘cause blue skies are coming
But I know that it’s hard”
“Time was drifting, this rock had got to roll
So, I hit the road and made my getaway
Restless feeling, really got a hold
I started searching for a better way”
“Do it, try it
Do it, try it
Do it, try it
Do it”
“So open the shutters, raise up the mast
Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed
Cast off the crutches, cut off the cast
Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed
I’m not gonna live the whole of my life indoors
I’m gonna step out, and face the next storm”
“Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic”
“Out of my crate dust off my name
Get out a good pair of shoes
Summertime, soak up the sunshine with you
Lay in the park, smoke in the dark
Get high like I used to do
Summertime, soak up the sunshine with you
Feelin’ the breeze, take it with ease
Shake out the big city blues
Summertime, soak up the sunshine with you
Grow out my hair, go anywhere
Sleepin’ until afternoon
Summertime, soak up the sunshine with you”
“The night we broke out
Neighborhood penitentiary
We drove to the coast and
Laughed for a century
You sunk your feet
In the empty beach
And took off all your clothes
Said “I’m never going home now
Who’s gonna tell me no”
Freedom ain’t it frightening
Like swimming in the lightning
Deadly but delighting
Lips against the sky now
So bold”
“Everybody’s leaving soon
I can hear that rambling tune
From the pool hall or any shopping mall
We’re going crazy as a loon
Tell me where we’re gonna go
Where there’s no sorrow, there’s no snow
Pack your suitcase light, we’re gonna leave tonight
’Cause I think I might just know
Oh if I lose it
I’m gonna move it
Down to the Keys”
“i feel you, motion animal
i’m tired, you’re taking all control
you got me losin’, groovin’, and movin’ what i won’t
damn you, it’s unbelievable
no more crying, not wasting anymore
go on and yell something, be walking out the door
you got me movin’, i’m changing my address
to shake something stinky, you’ll never get the rest
go tell it on the mountain that i’m moving, ‘cause i’m on fire”
“Maybe the sun will shine today
The clouds will blow away
Maybe I won’t feel so afraid
I will try to understand
Either way”
“I’m goin’ way down south where the big blue agave grow
Takin’ a weekend trip down to Baja, Mexico
Where you can drink the water, but don’t ya eat the ice
Take your vitamin “T” with salt ‘n lemon slice”
“I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around
And see what there is to see
And time is just a melody
All the people in the street
Walk as fast as their feet can take ‘em
I just roll through town
And though my windows got a view
The frame I’m looking through
Seems to have no concern for now
So for now
I need this
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown”
“I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was broad but I was kind
And sometimes I get nervous
When I see an open door
Close your eyes
Clear your heart
Cut the cord”
“A race is on I’m on your side
And hearing you my engines die
I’m in a mood for you
For running away”
“And I held the breath inside my lungs for days
And I saw myself as one of many waves
And when I knew I’d become the ocean’s slave
I just stayed”
“Up and early for the hope of a brand new day
See a homie you ain’t seen since back in the day
Fresh haircut fitted with a fat-ass fade
End of work, we chilling on a Saturday
How you felt when you first heard the Daddy Kane
Rakim, KRS - hey I had that tape
Cooling out with ol’ girl on a fat-ass date
Find a hundred dollar bill wow man that’s great
Get promoted at your job up to management
Plot a long time finally a plan has made it
Sometimes I feel I wanna shout, man it’s real that way
When I think of things that make you feel that way”
