You said the air was singing

Its calling you, you don't believe it

These things you've never seen

Verse 3

Good morning. How are you

Allow yourself to drift and fly away

And you just stay

Have I missed the big reveal?

Do my eyes, do my eyes seem empty?

I've forgotten how this feels

Chorus

I've been high, I've climbed so high

That light sometimes it washes over me

Have you been? Have done will travel

I fell down on my knees

Was I wrong? I don't know, don't answer.

I just needed to believe.

Repeat Chorus

So I dive into a pool so cool and deep

that if I sink I sink and when I swim I fly so high.

Just to live my life on high.

And I know, I know you want the same

I can see it in your eyes.

Repeat Chorus

Washes over me

Close my eyes

So I can see

Make my make believe believe in me.

SHE JUST WANTS TO BE

Haven't got the words yet but heres the chords

Its not that she wasnt rewarded..........

Bridge

Chorus

She just wants to be somewhere

She just wants to be

Lyrics:

It's not that she walked away,

her world got smaller.

All the usual places, the same destinations,

only something's changed.

It's not that she wasn't rewarded

with pomegranate afternoons

and Mingus, Chet Baker and chess.

It's not the stampede and fortune

of prim affectations

she's off on a right and she knows now

it's greater than the whole

of the past

it's greater

and now she knows.

She just wants to be somewhere

she just wants to be.

She just wants to be somewhere

she just wants to be.

It's not that the transparency

of earlier incarnations

now we're back on, we're enriched

and loaded

with beautiful vulnerability

and now she knows.

Now is greater

and she knows that.

She just wants to be somewhere

she just wants to be.

She just wants to be somewhere

she just wants to be.

Now is greater

now is greater

and she knows that

She just wants to be somewhere

she just wants to be.

She just wants to be somewhere

she just wants to be.

It's not like the angels

could truly look down

stir up the trappings

and light on the ground.

Remind us of what, when,

why or who?

The how's up to us, me and you

and now is greater than the whole

of the past

is greater and now she knows that.

Now she knows.

DISAPPEAR

I dragged my feet across the seat

Jumped out the passenger side

The only thing worth looking for

Is what you find inside

But that had not yet appeared

Lost invisible here.

Tel Aviv and Agadir

Toned in for almost

Before I learned to see

The vanishing point appeared.

I looked for you everywhere.

I looked for you everywhere.

There is a calm, I haven't come to the end

I spent half my life figuring what comes next

I telescoped in I finally win

I finally win the prize.

That now eyes see comets perfect timing squeeze

Head first fighting everything

The crushing force of memory

Erasing all i've been

The vanishing point appeared.

I looked for you everywhere.

I looked for you everywhere.

Tell me why you're here

I came to disappear.

Look at this face

Can you believe it?

Am I living in the beautiful vacuum?

Because I can't see it

The vanishing point appears.

I looked for you everywhere.

I looked for you everywhere.

Tell me why you're here.

I came to disappear

Tell me why you're here

I came to disappear

I came to disappear

SATURN RETURNS

Verse

Chorus

"saturn is beckoning/orbiting...")

Bridge

"harder to look yourself...")

chords:

Easy to poke yourself square in the eye

Harder to like yourself, harder to try

These are espouses

Postcards and neoprene

Roses a dollar a stem

Everyone’s sleeping or pulling the long haul and

Keys in the cooler its three A.M.

And Saturn is beckoning no one

It’s off on its own

It’s offering up

Late shift can bring in store, burn out the lights

Telescope roof towards the northwestern sky

You pulled the ladder and no one's the wiser

You find your sights and discover

Saturn is orbiting nothing

He’s off on its own

He’s breaking from home

Harder to look yourself square in the eye

Easy to take off

You found the ladder in the pattern of your wrist

You’ve seen and you’ve marked horizons

Mother was difficult, she made you cry

Cover the mirror, look to the sky

You climbed into your rocketship trying

Lift up and hold out your hands

Saturn is orbiting nothing

He’s off on its own

He’s breaking from home

Saturn is orbiting nothing

He’s off on its own

He’s breaking from home

Saturn returns when you chase down, it slows

Throw them into a new gravity

Harder to look yourself square in the eye

Easy to poke yourself, easy as pie

Easy to take off, harder to fly

Harder to wake Galileo

BEAT A DRUM

the sun reflected in the back of my eye.

I knocked my head against the sky.

the dragonflies are busy buzzing me.

a seahorse as if we were in the sea.

half way from coal, half way to diamond.

my fall knocked a mean chip out of me.

gathering as far as I can reach.

perched up on the precipice and this is what I've seen.

this is all I want, it's all I need.

this is all I am, it's everything.

this is all I want, it's all I need.

a bluejay hectors from the felled Catalpa tree.

doctorate in science and the theologians dream.

the dragonflies are trying to lecture me.

a seahorse as if we were in the sea.

but this is all I want, it's all I need.

this is all I am, it's everything.

this is all I want, it's all I need.

Instrumental

beat a drum for me like a butterfly wing.

tropical storm across the ocean.

but don't explain I'm sure I'll want to know

but don't forget we're just halfway from home.

this is all I want, it's all I need.

this is all I am, it's everything.

this is all I want, it's all I need.

Chorus after the first one:

during the chorus, the lead guitar plays this while the bass does the

A-(3)--(2)--(0)-----------------------------|

Mercury is rising still

Turn the fan on high

I won't step on my own shadow

No one wants to cry.

Someone put a pox on me

I spit in their eyes

Summer turns to high.

Lift my bed sheet keep in sandles

Circle search and there are candles

Summer's here but night is raising hopes and dragonflies

If those hopes are overshadowed

cotton-candy, caramel-wafer.

Summer turns to high

Summer turns to high

Summer turns to high

Summer high

After wine and nectarines the fireflies in turn

Move like syrup through the evening with the sweet resign

I won't fight for can't happen

I'm preoccupied

Summer turns to high

Summer turns to high

Summer turns to high

Summer high.

CHORUS & THE RING

By R.E.M.

>From Reveal

There seems to be at least 2 guitars, a clean electric panned

left and an acoustic panned right. They seem to be playing

slightly different variations on the same chords.

Sometimes substitute Dsus2 for the Sugar Mtn D.

Or the electric sometimes plays this chord:

after the 3rd chorus, the electric plays this:

Lyrics:

hey there now young one

you swing alone, quote the scriptures,

keep them guessing which bed you crawled from

justify, just deny

was it fun?

your time has come

what have you done?

what have you done?

that's when the insults start to sting

you can't remember anything

the chorus chiming

every chorus the machine of God

singin'.

it's the poison that it measures

brings illuminating vision

it's the knowing with the wink

that we expect in Southern women

it's the wolf that knows which trip to dip to save its soul

it's the octopus that crawled back to the sea.

that's when the insults start to sting

you can't remember anything

the chorus chiming

every chorus the machine of God

hey.....

hammered, shooting plywood in the backyard

laughing 'cause the racket makes the blackbird sing

like the holy terror

suck the marrow from the bone

since you're always burning books

you got the chorus and the ring

that's when the insults start to sting

you can't remember anything

the chorus chiming

every chorus the machine sings.

that's when the insults start to sting

you can't remember anything

the chorus chiming

every chorus the machine sings.

that's when the calibration brittle

as a stick hits you

the gold ring in the time museum

cheaper than a link

gold ring

gold ring.

sing.

sing.

You give a little sneeze and dance the rhu-rhu-rhu-rhu-rhumba

This life is sweet.

You're dancin' in the street.

Who knows who we might meet?

You're too fine.

The little weekend's here.

Thursday has an ear.

Her coffee-clash career, she talks to strangers.

And kissing by the sea.

Particular to me.

Tea ___________ sing and dance the rhu-rhu-rhu-rhu-rhumba.

This life is sweet.

You're dancin' in the street.

Who knows who, you and me

You're too fine.

We flash the seaside sky

with starfish butterflies

to cast a spell and

welcome locals

weekenders and strangers.

You're too fine.

You're too fine.

You're too fine.
