Constellations by Jack Johnson...


The light was leaving
In the west it was blue
The children's laughter sang
And skipping just like the stones they threw
Their voices echoed across the way
It's getting late

It was just another night
With a sunset
And a moonrise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to papa's translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations

The west winds often last too long
The wind may calm down
Nothing ever feels the same
Sheltered under the Kamani tree
Waiting for the passing rain
Clouds keep moving to uncover the scene
Stars above us chasing the day away
To find the stories that we sometimes need
Listen close enough
All else fades, fades away

It was just another night
With a sunset
And a moonrise not so far behind
To give us just enough light
To lay down underneath the stars
Listen to all the translations
Of the stories across the sky
We drew our own constellations

Deep by PJ


On the edge, windowsill
Ponders his maker, ponders his will
To the street below, he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks the needle deep, yeah...
Whoa, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom

Oh, on the edge of a know-nothin' town
Feelin' quite superior, the aged come
To the sky above he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks a burning knife deep, yeah...
Ooh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...uh huh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep...
Ohhh...Ohhh...

Ow...
On the edge of a Christmas clean love
Young virgin from heaven...visiting Hell
To the man above her, she just ain't nothin'
And she doesn't like the view
She doesn't like the view 
But he sinks himself deep

Oh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom
Can't touch the bottom
Deep, yeah...
Oh, yeah, the bottom, yeah...
Ohh...

Flake by Jack Johnson


I know she said it's alright 
But you can make it up next time 
I know she knows it's not right 
There ain't no use in lying 
Maybe she thinks I know something 
Maybe maybe she thinks its fine 
Maybe she knows something I don't 
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying 


It seems to me that maybe, 
It pretty much always means no 
So don't tell me you might just let it go 
And often times we're lazy 
It seems to stand in my way 
Cause no one no not no one 
Likes to be let down 


I know she loves the sunrise 
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes 
And I know that when she said she's gonna try 
Well it might not work because of other ties and 
I know she usually has some other ties 
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em 
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but 
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too 

It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go 
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go


The harder that you try baby, the further you'll fall 
Even with all the money in the whole wide world 
Please please please don't pass me 
Please please please don't pass me 
Please please please don't pass me by 


Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change 
You gonna have to call it by a brand new name 
Please please please don't drag me 
Please please please don't drag me 
Please please please don't drag me down 


Just like a tree down by the water baby I shall not move 
Even after all the silly things you do 
Please please please don't drag me 
Please please please don't drag me 
Please please please don't drag me down


rosseyed & Painless / Slave To The Traffic Light by Phish

Witnessed this and loooovvvveed it:)



Lost my shape, Trying to act casual! 
Can't stop I might end up in the hospital 
I'm changing my shape, I feel like an accident 
They're back! To explain their experience 

Isn't it weird
Looks too obscure to me 
Wasting away
And that was their policy 

I'm ready to leave-I push the fact in front of me
Facts lost-Facts are never what they seem to be
Nothing there!-No information left of any kind
Lifting my head-Looking for danger signs

There was a line
There was a formula
Sharp as a knife
Facts cut a hole in us
There was a line
There was a formula
Sharp as a knife
Facts cut a hole in us

I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...
I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...
I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...

The feeling returns-Whenever we close our eyes 
Lifting my head/looking around inside 
The island of doubt-It's like the taste of medicine 
Working by hindsight-Got the message from the oxygen 
Making a list-Find the cost of opportunity 
Doing it right-Facts are useless in emergencies 

The feeling returns
Whenever we close our eyes
Lifting my head
Looking around inside.

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things
Facts don't stain the furniture
Facts go out and slam the door
Facts are written all over your face
Facts continue to change their shape

I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...
I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...
I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting...

Burn one Down by Ben Harper


Let us burn one, from end to end.
And pass is over to me my friend.
Burn it long, but burn it slow,
to light me up before I go.


If you dont like my fire, then dont come around.
Cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes I'm gonna burn one down


My choice is what i chose to do;
and if I'm causin no harm,
it shouldn't bother you.
Your choice is who you chose to be;
and if your causin to harm, then your alright with me.


If you dont like my fire, then dont come around, cause I'm gona burn one down.
Yes i'm gonna burn one, down.


Herb the gift, from the Earth,
and what's from the earth is of the greatest worth.
So before u knock it, try it first.
and you'll see it's a blessing and it's not a curse.
If you dont like my fire, then dont come around,
cause i'm gonna burn one down.
Yes i'm gonna burn one.


oh yeah

Lying in the Hands of God by DMB


Baby I'll be your soldier. Gladly, I'll do your bidding 
Just a taste of what your holding, for just a taste you could own me.


Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love.
I'll be right here, lying in the hands of God. 

Here it comes, diving in to me.
Now the floor is the ceiling.
If you never flew why would you, cut the wings off a butterfly? Fly. 


Save your sermons for someone that's afraid to love. 
If you knew what I feel then you couldn't be so sure. 
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God. 
If you feel angels in your hand, tear drops of joy runs down your face, you will rise. 

Fillin' me up, now drain me
Skin begins to grow back slowly,
faster until I'm choking.
Really should call my mother, mother.

Save your sermons for someone that's afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel then you couldn't be so sure.
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God.


I am in love with nothing less. 
Tear drops of joy runs off my face, 
I will rise for someone that's afraid to love. 
If you knew what I feel, then you couldn't be so sure. 
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God. 

Now the floor is the ceiling.
If you never flew, why would you?
If you never flew, why would you? You.
Why would you?
