"I Don't Know (Sister, Sister)"

Life's too much fun
To be under the moon
Get your attitude higher
Hey baby baby don't let
Your cryin' get in the
Way from a better desire

I don't know everything
It's true but hey
Sister sister I know
Who loves you

Take a trip from
The masses that are
Bringin' you down
Take a walk in a meadow
There's somethin' the maker
Has for you to do
Just take a look at this ghetto
"Queen of the Captive"

Chorus:
She's the queen of the captive
She'll get you every time
Bitterness is her name
Unforgiveness is her crime
She's the queen of the captive
And she's lookin' round for you
Forgive and forget
Easier to say than do

And I loved her once
Once long ago,
She pulled and took me under
I tried to break away
But the ropes just hold me down
She made me say I loved her

Chorus

And she lies there
Lookin' so temptin' and mistakin'
For the one you want to be with
But soon she's stolen your heart
And ripped your life in two
All your old friends are now hated

Lie lie lie lie
"Jet Plane"

I had to play a gig in Frisco
I received my ticket
In the mail
The rest of the band
Was already there waitin'
I didn't have a guitar case
Or bill of sale

Somebody please explain
Where we're going in this big jet plane
Somebody try and see
who took my guitar away from me

I stepped inside and
The stewardess smiled
When I sat down she said
My seat was wrong
I looked up to see
If she'd redirect me
But the airline girl
And my guitar were gone

Somebody please explain
Where we're flying in this big jet plane
Somebody try and see
Who took my guitar away from me
"Skate"

Skate

My skateboard is no crime
There's hungry children cryin'
There's politicians lyin'

The crime I see Mr. police
Is this world
Don't know where
To go when it dies
"It's a Crazy Thing"

Travelin' through life
There's a lot of bumps
And dips I always
Seem to fall I into

Climbing out of only to
Get hit by some
Supermarket produce
Carrying diesel
Eighteen wheeler

Everything can hit you
At once its all how you look at it
Everything can hit you at once
Just smile
It's a crazy thing

I'm trying my best to
Get the sam hill heck
Out of trouble before it
Creeps up and finds me

I've got some poor
Unlucky bummed out
Over worked sick and tired angel
Beggin' not to have to help me
"Surf with God"

We'll be wakin' up
So early in the mornin'
Goin' surf surf surf with God
We'll be outside
Where the big waves are formin'
Goin' surf surf surf with God
I got my board in the back
Brought a Bible for you
Let's go
Surf surf surf with God

You know where we'll go
When the Santa Ana winds blow
Surf surf surf with God
From Malibu down to Mexico
Surf surf surf with God
On the way when we go
We'll hear Chucky on the radio

Surfin' in the summer and
The springtime too
Come on
He'll go surfin' with you
Joanie's in the tube
Praisin' the Lord
Brian does 360's
And he's lovin' it more
I got my board in the back
Brought a Bible for you
Let's go
Surf surf surf with God
"Comin' Up Roses"

Blue jean, baby queen
Happy as she's ever been
Stuck back in the 70's
Miss Billy Jean baby queen

Comin' up
Comin' up
Comin' up roses
She's runnin' from
This life as she knows it

She don't hear when you talk
Locked back in a mental block
Everything's fine and
She tells me tonight
The kids are alright

Comin' up
Comin' up
Comin' up roses
She's runnin' from
This life as she knows it
"Lookin' for a Suit"

Caught on fire is a river
Burned up like a sand dollar in the moon
Slipped on a blade in the ocean
Flew higher than a kite in the blue

Chorus:
I've seen everything
This bed of mine is a dream machine
You know just what I mean
Is God tellin' me somethin'

I was a snail in the movies
Eat some salt on the brain
I rode a tuna to Japan
I fell under the bleak label on the can

Chorus

Sat under a blue sun
Sunburned in the castle
Lookin' for a suit

Chorus
