Overflowin'

Suppression, Get outta my face
Self-Expression, to win this race
Denial, I've gotta put you on trial
My energy, you drag me down and feed off me but....
I'm Overflowin' (x4)
You asked me where my mind went
I said it became quite evident
When my backs against the wall
That's when I rise above it all
Like right now...
Well, here I am crammed into these jeans again
Staring at the same four walls and shopping malls that are littering my street..
YEAH MY STREET! Yeah, that's right. You know the one.
That's the one with the pretty little girl always sitting on the sidewalk reading the good book. (bless your heart)
And when you ask her why she's reading the good book, she looks up at you with a sparkle in the eye and a smile on her face...
I'm Overflowin' (x4)
You asked me where my mind went
I said it became quite evident
When my backs against the wall
That's when I rise above it all
Like right now...
Well, would you lookie over there!
There goes Oscar through the dumpsters again...
Yeah he's trying to find a friend.
And there's Magic Mike standing on the corner
Wearing that blonde frilly wig...
Yeah he's trying to grind those hips. (He's a Professial!)
And when I look up to the 5th story window,
I see ShaNaeNae (Mmm Hmmm)
Hanging Leroy by his ankles.
I yell up to Leroy (HEY LEROY!) I say, "You're the B-B-B-Baddest man in town! Are you scared?"
Because your smile looks like a frown when it's turned upside down..
He yells back down to me (down to me, down to me)
With a smile on his face
I'm Overflowin' (x4)
I'm Overflowin' rollin through the grass
the winds a blowin' nothing but laughs
The man in the moon, looking kinda blue
I said "hey Mr. Moon, what's up with you?"
he said
"Hey, Little diddle. I'm stuck in the middle.
I'm only half full and can't solve this riddle.
I don't know how, I'm under a cow.
But i sure could use a little love right now"
I said
"Sure Mr. M, I got some love I can send
Allow me to extend it to you'
He said
"Thanks my friend, I must commend
you for helping me end these blues.
Now I'm feeling full
with this lovin' Spoonful and I'm Overflowin' too.
I'm Overflowin' (x4)
Right Now. Hey hey, Haha
There's an egg in the hole in the middle

One day out walking
I saw some girls talking
and I suddenly felt free...
And although I'm kinda lazy
I was floating like a daisy
kinda driftin' in the breeze...
without a care in the world
I started talking to this girl
and introduced myself as "me"
And as my man 'Denira'
said in the mirror,
She said, "You talkin' to me?"
I said "Why the harsh sound?
Life's a playground.
Remember, that's the key."
This made the girl smile
so we talked for a while
'cus she could not disagree
You should know
You should know
Baby, you should know
Anything, anywhere, anytime you want me
Anywhere, anytime, anything at all
Anytime, anything, anywhere you need me
Anything, anywhere, anytime just call
Just before noon
We swam to the moon
In the space that was my mind
And in that hour,
I grew a flower
with the power to stop time,
it's a flower child
whose wet and wild
to grow into a rhyme
I said, "I am you and you're me, too
and that's how I know you're mine
And if you decide
it's justified,
just take a look inside"
She looked and flipped
as her heart skipped,
And she saw she was divine
You should know
You should know
Baby, you should know
Anything, anywhere, anytime you want me
Anywhere, anytime, anything at all
Anytime, anything, anywhere you need me
Anything, anywhere, anytime just call

A woman dressed in blue
Sits down next to me
John says he's moving to LA
Around September 23
She questions John about his age
He replies, "I''m 28"
She says, "You hold your age well"
He says, "I don't act it so great"
Oh no, no, no, no.
I confess, I'm stuck on you.
I'm in love with the Man in the Moon.
They're making fantasies and dreams
down by the river
They call it the Man in the Moon
and the moon is only a sliver tonight
(X2)
Well, Debbie says she's 37
but acts like she's 16
Jason says he just might move to LA
cus' he thinks he might jive on that scene
There's some blags
sitting on the steps
they're talking 'bout some kind of recession
I walk by and state
"I'm not a crook"
and that's my best impression
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
I confess, I'm stuck on you
I'm in love with the Man in the Moon
They're making fantasies and dreams
down by the river
They call it the Man in the Moon
and the moon is only a sliver tonight
(X2)
I'm sta' to the flo'
Can't go no mo'
Trying everything to get out the do'
(I'm moon Walken!)
Sta' to the flo'
Now, my legs are so'
What am I gonna do
If I'm sta' on you?
Sta' to the flo'
What I'm gonna do?
Sta' to the flo-
Yeah, I'm sta', too!
I'm sta' to the flo'
What I'm gonna do?
What I'm gonna do
with gumsta' on my shoe?
They're making fantasies and dreams
down by the river
They call it the Man in the Moon
and the moon is only a sliver tonight
(X3)
I confess, I'm stuck on you.
I'm in love with the Man in the Moon.
Walken out

You're so hot
Just like a Tater tot
I think I'd rather not go outside today..
You're so cool
I wanna break all the rules
I just wish you would look my way today
And if you should see I'm broken,
Would it make you run?
No way, I'm broken too
but together we are one
Rain, sun, snow, fun...
Life's begun
with my Four Seasons girl
Rainbows, No shadows...
Life's beautiful
with my Four Seasons girl
(x2)
You're so bad
The best I'd ever had
I just wish you'd come out and play today
You're so good
I really think that I should
I think I might just go astray today
And if you should see I'm broken
Would it make you run?
NO!
Baby, I'd take your hand
And we'd dance into the sun
Rain, sun, snow, fun...
Life's begun
with my Four Seasons girl
Rainbows, No shadows...
Life's beautiful
with my Four Seasons girl
(x2)
And if you should see I'm broken,
Would it make you run?
No way, I'm broken too
but together we are one
Rain, sun, snow, fun...
Life's begun

Life's beautiful

Sunday Swings
04:28
|

|
Story of a boy who,
Really liked a girl who,
Didn't like boys,
But she really liked you
So he knocked on her door and said
Won't you come out to play?
I've got some Sunday Swings and
I wanna swing today
And when he looked in her eyes,
He could see a baby cry
And when he looked in her eyes,
He could see the angels...
Don't be afraid
It's time to surrender
Beautiful love,
I'm not a pretender
Don't be afraid
Put your hand in my hand
I think I'm falling
in love with you again
To his surprise
She said, "Okay"
so they went to the park
And they swung away
They both closed their eyes
And they started to pray
On the Sunday Swings
Where they wanted to stay
And when he looked in her eyes,
He could see a baby cry
And when he looked in her eyes,
He could see the angels...
Don't be afraid
It's time to surrender
Give into love
And make that love tender
Don't be afraid
Put your hand in my hand
I feel I'm falling
In love with you again
He walked beside her
As she danced on her own
They found a place
They can call their home
Time may pass
Some bad times it brings
But they can always go
And sit on their Sunday Swings
And when he looked in her eyes,
He could see the tears had dried
And when he looked in her eyes,
He could see the angels...
Don't be afraid
It's time to surrender
Beautiful love,
I'm not a pretender
Don't be afraid
Put your hand in my hand
I think I'm falling
In love with you again
Don't be afraid
It's time to surrender
Give into love
And make that love tender
Don't be afraid
Put your hand in my hand
I feel I'm falling
In love with you again

You'll Come Around
03:59
|
|||
|
I'm tired of waiting around
I feel that you want to be found
I smile and I listen
Just to keep my feet in the sound
You'll come around
Right to the sound of the love in your heart
(X4)
People all around me
They feel like breezes to me
I stop, and talk, and touch them (Oh yes, I do)
Occasionally
And I say
You'll come around
Right to the sound of the love in your heart
(X4)
Solo
You'll come around
Right to the sound of the love in your heart
(X4)

Candy en Mi Casa

Turning it up in the club
'Cus I'm stacking to the nines
Popping bottles with the shorties
Like we're running out of time
Banging with the ballers
Spending all my benjamines
Getting out of control
And stupid in my mind
Quiero mas
Que rico
Que guapa eres
(X2)
You're so hot, hot, hot
Muy Caliente
Hot, hot, hot
Que quapa eres
Body's buzzing with the dozen
As you step across the line
I see you watching me watching you
You looking so fine
Buck wild with yo' body
As you're grinding to the rhyme
Getting low, you want mo'
So you sending out a sign
Quiero mas
Que rico
Que guapa eres
(X2)
You're so hot, hot, hot
Muy Caliente
Hot, hot, hot
Que quapa eres
Mi gusta como esta
I like it, like it, like that
(X4)
I gotta sweet tooth
So tonight I'm going clubbin'
Sick of little boys tryna'
Get up in my muffin
In this candy shop
I just can't stop
Keep the lollipops a comin'
You don't need to beat it
When we're bang bang to the drummin'
Quiero mas
Que rico
Que guapa eres
(X2)
You're so hot, hot, hot
Muy Caliente
Hot, hot, hot
Que quapa eres
Now, I got Candy in my pocket
Bottle rocket on the rise
I'm gonna show you how to do it
When your eyes connect with mine
Feeling naughty with the honey
Drippin' down her thighs
I'm feeling hungry for dessert
Keep my eye upon the pie
Quiero mas
Que rico
Que guapa eres
(X2)
You're so hot, hot, hot
Muy Caliente
Hot, hot, hot
Que quapa eres

There's no gravity
Simulated by the roller coaster of life
There's no gravity

There's no gravity
Simulated by the roller coaster of life
There's no gravity
Simulated by the roller coaster of life
It's time to boil,
My brain,
In the jacuzzi,
Of the hot desert sun
(X4)
There's no gravity,
There is nothing to hold me down
There's no gravity.
Nothing can keep me down
There's no gravity,
There's nothing to hold me down
There's no gravity,
So nothing can keep me down
It's time to boil,
My brain,
In the jacuzzi,
Of the hot desert sun
(X4)
Bubbles and balloons,
Turning into moons,
I'm just sitting here,
Getting on my freak
Sunny afternoons,
Sand dunes are cartoons,
This party's got me
Turning up the heat!
It's time to boil,
My brain,
In the jacuzzi,
Of the hot desert sun
(X8)
Boil, Boil, Boil, Boil....

Coffin in LA
05:03

Here, I am
In the heart of the matter,
Sippin' and a trippin' at a tea party
With the Mad Hatter
We're watching people round us,
Getting fatter,
Taking our lumps with the,
Uh-Heffalumps,
And they're getting sadder...
Coffin in LA
Is gonna take me away
Coffee in LA
Is gonna keep me awake
Coughin' in LA
Is gonna take me today
Coffin in LA
Come and take me away
Here, I am
Padded cell, rubber room...
Watching anorexic hectics
Sneaking pink macaroons (so yummy)
Life is just a second
That lasts all afternoon,
It's always tea time,
When your head's a balloon
Coffin in LA
Is gonna take me away
Coffee in LA
Is gonna keep me awake
Coughin' in LA
Is gonna take me today
Coffin in LA
Come and take me away
Raining faces melt away
Turning me into a zombie
Here, I am
Brain fried and wired,
Caffeine and nicotine,
Never get tired,
Sucking on a dayglow
Pacifier
Kissing lip leaves
On the sidewalk,
Just trying to get higher
Coffin in LA
Is gonna take me away
Coffee in LA
Is such a cliche
Coughin' in LA
Is gonna take me today
Coffin in LA
Come and take me away
Coffin in LA
Is gonna take me away
Coffee in LA
Is such a cliche
Coughin' in LA
Is gonna take me today
Coffin in LA
Come on and take me away

Missing Out
05:11

Wind behind the curtain
Blowing as it please
While your mind is like a dandelion
Floating in the breeze
Awake and alone
In the darkness no one sees
Not blinded by distraction
And the peace it guarantees
Lazy river floating
(Don't go insane)
Permanent brain freeze
(It's not in your brain)
Laughing like mad children
Swimming in the trees
they lock the door
(Don't be misled)
And throw away the keys
(It's not in your head)
Fit you for a jacket
As they give you your disease
Ahhh
You wonder how you landed here
Proper expertise
You thought it time to wake up
And the red tape disagreed
Precisely unaware
Of all the looks that you received
For simply indicating
You got lost in the machine
Lazy river floating
(Don't go insane)
Permanent brain freeze
(It's not in your brain)
Laughing like mad children
Swimming in the trees
They lock the door
(Don't be misled)
And throw away the keys
(It's not in your head)
Fit you for a jacket
As they give you your disease
Ahhh
(Carnival dream sequence)
You got caught
Reaching for the cheese
Now the rats in your trapped head
Aren't just your bad dreams
You thought you could build a wall
Against the powers that may breathe
Now you're sitting in the corner
With your arms around your knees
Lazy river floating
(Don't go insane)
Permanent brain freeze
(It's not in your brain)
Laughing like mad children
Swimming in the trees
They lock the door
(Don't be misled)
And throw away the keys
(It's not in your head)
Fit you for a jacket
As they give you your disease
Ahhh
You're missing out on another dream...

Somebody loves me
I wonder who?
Somebody loves me
Could it be you?
Somebody loves me
Can this be true?
Somebody loves me
Could it be you?
I love somebody
I wonder who
I love somebody
Could it be you?
I love somebody
Oh, yes it's true
I love somebody
Could it be you?
I love somebody
I wonder who
I love somebody
Could it be you?
I love somebody
Oh, yes it's true
I love somebody
And that somebody's you
