What You Want
I like chewing gum / Blowing bubbles is lots of fun
I like chewing gum / Sometimes sweet is what you want
I like staying out late at night / Coming home by the morning light
I like staying out late at night / Sometimes the dark is what you want
I wanna be What You Want (What You Want)
I wanna be What You Want (What You Want)
I wanna be What You Want
What You Want / What You Want
I like roller skates / Being known as someone who creates
I like roller skates / Sometimes a fall is what you want
I wanna be What You Want (What You Want)
I wanna be What You Want (What You Want)
I wanna be What You Want
What You Want / What You Want
I like the color of your eyes
Makes me feel all crazy inside
These feelings got me saturated
Gotta be with you be highly rated
Ah, ah, ah so frustrated
What you want, you want, you want, you want, What You Want
I wanna be What You Want (What You Want)
I wanna be What You Want (What You Want)
I wanna be What You Want
What You Want
What you Want
I wanna be What You Want (What You Want)

Playing Checkers
Am I where I am? Am I looking out my eyes?
Can I control my hands / Or my thoughts of different lands?
I do but I don’t know / Things get blurry when I go
Am I really sure that I shut and locked the door?
Playing Checkers, ah Playing Checkers
Playing Checkers oh, oh no
Is the projector manned? Can I watch the game again?
What is fact and what is dream / How do I know anything?
Since I try I don’t see / Irresponsibility
Can I be secure that the gas is off for sure?
Playing Checkers, ah Playing Checkers
Playing Checkers oh, oh no
Moving forward only have to double back and
Move diagonal everybody’s keeping track of
What enslaves me what when known will set me free?
Am I your baby? / Can you really double / Can your really double me?
Playing Checkers, ah Playing Checkers
Playing Checkers oh, oh no
Playing Checkers, ah Playing Checkers
Playing Checkers oh, oh no

Midnight Lightning
Food sleep and shelter / All your needs blown helter skelter
Raised your alertness / That much for sure
Listen to the business / How deep can you get into this?
Say nothing’s fair / No, not anymore
Moonlight / So exciting
Thunder / Senses tightening
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting it
Red falling petals / On a bed of heavy metals
Something breaking open / Someone is hit
Check over the manifest / Then maybe we’ll get to the rest
Ready to engage / The rocket’s been lit
Awareness / Of the lighting
A little death / Is a little frightening
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting it
The painted line’s been in dispute for such a long time
Lists and directions for dressing / I’m rejecting
Hearts can’t hide / It doesn’t matter how the bodies collide
Trumpets blow and the wind explodes
Hooked and split / Not fighting it
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting it
Please continue feeling a nurse has come to start the healing
Can we change the world before we are changed?
Now I know the difference / A declaration can’t hide hints
After the word is spoken the blood’s rearranged
Rearranged
I’m not fighting it
I’m not fighting it
I’m not fighting it
I’m not fighting it
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting
In the Midnight Lightning / I’m not fighting it

Land of Opportunity
I’m washing windows in the snow / With no particular place to go
I’m not a new man / This is not an old town
This is not the first time that life has let me down
This stinks and everything starts to blow / Born with three strikes nothing to know
Didn’t fight the battle / Or watch the wall come down
Life was short and busy when I could roll this town
This land is your land / But this was my-my-my opportunity
There was no master plan / No time to think why-why what you do to me
Just wanted to make some grand
And this was my-my-my opportunity
This was my-my-my opportunity
The years go by I’m still not happy with the show / Endless work just to keep from sinking below
Never been indentured / Or wore a royal crown
My heart is racing but my friends are gathered round
This land is your land / But this was my-my-my opportunity
There was no master plan / No time to think why-why what you do to me
Just wanted to make some grand
And this was my-my-my opportunity
This was my-my-my opportunity
Until the sky cracked open and a finger pointed down
This land is your land / But this was my-my-my opportunity
There was no master plan / No time to think why-why what you do to me
Just wanted to make some grand
And this was my-my-my opportunity
This was my-my-my opportunity

I Spy
Oooh ooh ooh / What kind of person are you?
Oooh ooh
When you hear voices in the other room
Do you stop your dishing and listen and do you write it all down?
Oooh ooh ooh / What kind of person are you?
Oooh ooh
I am a spy / I need intelligence about membership
My little eye sees both confidence and memory
I am a spy / Hi – I
Oooh ooh ooh / What kind of person are you?
Oooh ooh
Once you tap the line you’ve got to listen to the call
Oooh and I got you
Under surveillance / Under surveillance
I am a spy / I need intelligence about membership
My little eye sees both confidence and memory
I am a spy / Hi - eye
Oooh ooh ooh / What kind of person are you?
Oooh ooh
When you clear your head in times like these
Do you take your visions and make your decisions and do you buckle on down?
Oooh ooh ooh / What kind of person are you?
Oooh ooh

Message In My Head
Oh-oh-oh…
I – I wanna tear this whole room apart / I wanna go live
I’m more than ready to make a start
Ah-ah-ah feel the room / feel it swoon
Feel the room / Are we all as one?
Now-now could there be two / me and you
Will we choose to rise like the
The word’s a Message In My Head
But the world’s a mess it’s in my ears
The word’s a Message In My Head
But the world’s a mess it’s in my ears
The expansion of a wild sky / ah-ah-ah in the mind
Imagination will take a try
Ah-ah-ah see the light/ don’t you fight
See the light/ Are we in the clouds?
Now-now follow the way / now today
Will we choose to say it out
The word’s a Message In My Head
But the world’s a mess it’s in my ears
The word’s a Message In My Head
But the world’s a mess it’s in my ears
Oh-oh-oh…
See my friends as we practice the American magic
Questions and the myth that holds
Surprise-surprise-surprise-surprise
See another sunrise
So peaceful I just shut my mouth
The word’s a Message In My Head
But the world’s a mess it’s in my ears
The word’s a Message In My Head
But the world’s a mess it’s in my ears
The word’s a Message In My Head
But the world’s a mess it’s in my ears

But the world’s a mess it’s in my ears
