Jaane Kaun Saa Rastaa Usake Ghar Ko Jaataa
Jaane Kaun Saa Rang Hai Usake Mann Ko Bhaataa
Aisi Kai Hai Paheliyaa Man Mein Kare Jo Athkheliyaan 2
Jaane Kaun Saa Vaadaa Usako Lubhaata
Jaane Kaun Saa Rastaa Usake Ghar Ko Jata
Kahi Door Se Main Hoon Gungunata Hua Uske Liye Naye Geet Gaataa
Jaaane Kaun Saa Nagmaa Uske Mann Ko Bhaata
Aisi Kai Hai Paheliyaa Man Mein Kare Jo Athkheliyaan 2
Jaane Kaun Saa Rastaa Usake Ghar Ko Jaataa
Jaane Kaun Saa Rang Hai Usake Man Ko Bhaataa
(Kabhi Dhoop Hai Kabhi Chhaanv Bhi Hai
Kabhi Sard Hai Barsaat Bhi Hai) 2
Jaane Kaunsaa Mausam Usako Suhaataa
Aisi Kai Hai Paheliyaa Man Mein Kare Jo Athkheliyaan 2
Jaane Kaun Saa Rastaa Usake Ghar Ko Jaataa
Jaane Kaun Saa Rang Hai Usake Man Ko Bhaataa
Tum Ho Sapnoko Duniya Mein Tum Ho
Jeene Ki Raahon Main Tum Ho
Sochu To Baahon Mein Tum Ho
Tum Ho Mehaki Si Subah Mein Tum Ho
Bhini Si Shaamon Mein Tum Ho
Dekhu To Taaron Mein Tum Ho
Wo Tum Ho Tum Ho Tum Ho
Ha Ji Wo Tum Ho Tum Ho Tum Ho
Tum Ho Sapnoko Duniya Mein Tum Ho
Jeene Ki Raahon Main Tum Ho
Sochu To Baahon Mein Tum Ho
Haa.... Teri Hi Yaad
Do Boond Paani Meri Pyaas Thi
Saagar Mile Ye Kise Aas Thi
Kabhi Dagmagaai Jo Kashti Meri
Saahil Jo Banke Mere Paas Thi
Wo Tum Ho Tum Ho Tum Ho
Ha Ji Wo Tum Ho Tum Ho Tum Ho
Bhari Dophar Chhanv Kisne Diya
Kyu Koi Mujhpe Nigehbaan Huaa
Main Tha Sawaalon Main Uljha Huaa
Jisane Paheli Ko Suljha Diya
Wo Tum Ho Tum Ho Tum Ho
Ha Ji Wo Tum Ho Tum Ho Tum Ho
Tum Ho Sapnoko Duniya Mein Tum Ho
Jeene Ki Raahon Main Tum Ho
Sochu To Baahon Mein Tum Ho
Tum Ho Tum Ho Tum Ho
Ha Ji Woh Tum Ho Tum Ho Tum Ho
Tum Ho
When I think about how I came to be
out of limitless energy
I become cosmic evolution and momentum
But somewhere down the block,
a man is screaming, a car is accelerating,
and somewhere downtown an empty elevator opens, closes
It's just a swirling mass in a charged dance, polarized
It's just a swirling mass in a charged dance, polarized
If that's the way,
if that's the way the way it is,
then I don't mind
And if that's the way,
if that's the way,
the way it is then it is what it is and I don't mind
I am drugged with simulacra
I am brainwashed and numb
brainwashed and numb with apathy
But somewhere down the block,
a man is screaming, a car is accelerating,
and somewhere downtown an empty elevator opens, closes
If that's the way,
if that's the way the way it is,
then I don't mind
And if that's the way,
if that's the way,
the way it is then it is what it is and I don't mind
It's just a swirling mass in a charged dance, polarized
It's just a swirling mass in a charged dance, polarized
It's just a swirling mass in a charged dance, polarized
It's just a swirling mass in a charged dance, polarized
Somewhere down the block, a man is screaming, a car is accelerating, and somewhere downtown an empty elevator opens, closes
If that's the way,
if that's the way the way it is,
then I don't mind
And if that's the way,
if that's the way,
the way it is then it is what it is and I don't mind
If that's the way,
if that's the way the way it is,
then I don't mind
And if that's the way,
if that's the way,
My world is all spring flowers
Underneath the autumn moon
Your arms around me carry
away my heart like a lost red balloon
As long as I am flesh and bone
I will never find rest
There will never come a time
When I can finally resist
Too caught up in the world of pleasure,
I'm carnal knowledge just lookin for treasure of the flesh,
displayin neurosis, seein all the crowds around has givin
me a psychosis, I'm crazy, makin me lazy, my mind is all hazy,
the things that you do amaze me, jealous of the fools
the buzz of electric lamplight
from down on the sidewalk
you struggle, grasp your night-shirt and turn
but the universe doesn't say what you want it to say
the universe says, just what it says, when it says what it says
but on the planet earth, spinning around its axis
revolving around the sun, revolving around the center
of the milky way galaxy in a supercluster of galaxies
will it ever be you and me here and now?
your consoling hands in a gesture
well placed and throbbing
throbbing with the buzz of electric lamplight
from down on the sidewalk
but the universe doesn't say what you want it to say
the universe says, just what it says, when it says what it says
the buzz of electric lamplight
from down on the sidewalk
you struggle, grasp your night-shirt and turn
but the universe doesn't say what you want it to say
the universe says, just what it says, when it says what it says
quanta, mesons, hadrons, photons, neutrons, electrons and protons combining to form
atoms and molecules and compounds and cells, tissues and organs in a system of a being
on the planet earth, spinning around its axis, revolving around the sun, revolving around
Well, I thought about the scene a lot and I've come to the conclusion, back in the day we used to admit to the confusion that exists between real styles and illusion, but I must tell you if you think that we are losin our honesty because we are bustin' out like confusions on those of you who think that you are choosin the right of way because you hear it everyday, well turn off your radio turn it off all the way. We're not ska-core, reggae, jazz, we're not hip hop or rock or pop, you know we won't stop groovin', it's like a thing called Jive!, you mix it up and keep the people satisfied no need to classify or nullify the claims that say we're insane, so to pacify those of you who need a label call it what you want I know you'll kick it if you're able.
We call it Jive!
Don't get me wrong, I don't think that we're special just cuz our sound is not that commercial, or maybe it is, maybe that's not for me to say, but I've seen less honest music everyday, just like our soundless souls that are sold on the radio melodramatic lyrics made up like Fabio, they hide reality in a well made allusion to a world where the real is illusion.
We call it Jive!
Well, I remember the times we used to hit downtown Richmond got kicked out the Metro, me and my Blind Jeans, my Indy hat ended up on the street and I went back for a smoke in my Capri. Back then is when we used to swang, rankin, and skankin was the thang until the music scene back home sold out, that's when me and my crew decided to show them what it's all about for the old skool we were late, we put down the skates, started grabbin' guitars horns drums and the bass kickin it live inside the garage hittin' them with a lyrical barrage but it's like we're trippin' tips shit got drastically of a sudden, the need to play bombastically, we lost sight of what is real it took us this long to get back on the reel to reel.
Jump, jump up and get down while we're kickin' it live, mad shout outs to all of you, who made it possible like you and your crew but every now and then, I can hear the voices of those of you who think our choices are wrong, you're feelin' like you don't at the show, can't understand the way things swing, you know, wase your mind and there is no need to worry, 'cause like The Ernies, I know that you're kickin it live!
If I could show you just what goes through my head...
Things change, that's how it is can you deal, with things that you know are real, I'm always movin, changin, and rearranging, I'm sick and tired of those who try containin me don't you see I'm in a state of flux don't you know, it's got nothin to do with luck, but if you wanna know what's up with us, we're still a bunch of rude boys, causin a fuss while we're kickin it live!
If I could show you just what goes through my head...
There were a couple of girls who used to come to the shows back when we used to jam every Wednesday at the Zone they were skankin to the beat, I'm like "Hey, I like your shirt" to the one who was up in my shit I guess she was tryin to flirt she said "yo, you're like the bosstones" I said "Hey, what's up with that?" we've got our own thing going and we know it's where it's at, now every time I see 'em they're talking about we're wannabe's, but they're the ones that are payin whether they're wack when they come or what, see... we're kickin it live!
Motivate.
We've got to motivate ourselves.
Sane things happen
Every day and every night
And I know
All I wanna do is hold you tight
When I look around
I see things that are going down
Motivate.
We've got to motivate ourselves.
Do you open your eyes
To the things that we're fighting for?
'cause I know
Don't wanna lose like we lost before.
When I look around
Our sattelite's been on the ground
Motivate.
We've got to motivate ourselves.
Think of the way
Think of the way that you walk around
Do you open your eyes
To the things that are going down?
When I look around
I see the world's been upside down
Motivate.
We've got to motivate ourselves.
Years have past and times gone by
It's times like this that I realize that
some people stay and some people go
But how in the hell are we suppose to know
Just what to do and how to do it
Someone tell me how to get through this
In the back that's where you belong
I'll go crazy before it's too long
I look around but I can't see
What's going on or what's happening to me
Another day and I'll have to deal
Never losing touch of what is real
I'd do it all again, but not quite the same
The thin I thought was normal turned out
to be insane
Forgive me not or forgive me do
All right, here it is on the real side,
I've seen my lyrics packaged like a box of Tide but
I let it ride just like cruise control,
gave em space for all their mind control games
you know they're playin all the things that they're sayin,
I never really understood the laws that I was obeyin,
not realizin, false philosophizin, never really wise'n up.
I'm free fallin, I know you think I'm wallin everything
I've got up inside but I'm not cuz now I'm ballin, and callin,
all the punks I'm mallin, up up and around and up up and down,
we've got er movin, the lyrics are soothin,
but that's not all they're doin,
my double entandres smoothin out all the mixed metaphors
that you're givin cuz night after night
I'm representin what you're livin.
Spin another one.
Hey yo Nick, I made you're instrumental, I added you're vocal,
I took it to the stage and yeah the people went loco but now
I'm gettin together with my shit tryin to make it work
and fightin to make it fit into the plan that I see developin,
not like the sound bytes that I see them sellin
in the record shops they're at the top of the pop charts,
turnin em out like another box of Pop Tarts.
1, 000, 000 miles away from me
I hear you laughing
and 1, 000 times I tried
I tried inside and I know
I said I fell in love 10 times today
But not me, not now
'cause I'm counting days
counting days down
I heard that they say
that they could love you
But I don't really care
I don't think that I can
I've tried inside and I know
I said I fell in love 10 times today
But not me, not now
'cause I'm counting days
I sat on the end of my bed with my legs
Shoved between the foot board and the matress
And I stared at my hands as you came in
And asked me what was wrong
"Have you ever wondered why you are your name?
Or why you are here and not somewhere else?
Or why here is where it is, and the whole time
You feel like you're spinning and falling?"
I stopped and looked at him.
He looked at me
And he sorta laughed
And he said
You and I, out of a limitless sea surfaced simultaneously
You and I, we coincide to share another epoch in beginningless time
Sitting quietly here tonight, mindlessly beneath the stars like molecules, comically, scattered microscopically
Winter stars (and you and I)
Winter stars (and you and I)
You and I, scattered particles through infinite time
You and I, content to share our time alive, content to coincide
Sitting quietly here tonight, mindlessly beneath the stars like galaxies, comically, scattered telescopically
Winter stars (and you and I)
Winter stars (and you and I)
Winter stars (and you and I)
Winter stars (and you and I)
You and I here tonight, mindlessly beneath the stars
You and I, comically, together existentially
Winter stars (and you and I)
Winter stars (and you and I)
Winter stars (and you and I)
Winter stars (and you and I)
(And you and I)
(And you and I)
(And you and I)
I'm feelin somethin all around
I feel it everywhere
I don't know what it is that I'm feelin
Must be something in the air
I'm feelin somethin from underground
I feel it everywhere
I don't know what it is that I'm feelin
I feel it everywhere
Alone, when we're not alone
I'm in the same bus on the way to the same show
It's the same thing everywhere
I don't know what it is that I'm feelin
Must be something in the air
Alone when we're not alone
I never really thought that I'd be something special,
I've always tried to live my life aware that
I'm infinitesimal compared to the rocks,
the mountains and the sea, the continents of earth,
and all of the planets, you see the solar system's large,
milky way large, too much exists the universe
is large for us to think that our problems are worth
