"Dark" Lyrics:

It's dark in the street
Dark in the street
It's dark in the street
Dark in the street

It's dark in the street
I don't wanna repeat
The mistake I made
By leaving you
It's cold outside
But the fire is bright
In your eyes tonight
I want you to know
How I feel in my soul
But the words I say
Speak to my decay

I lost my way
When I found myself
Safe place to stay
Where I share my wealth
It's what I've learned
From this bittersweet world

My heart is replete
As I plan my retreat
To the woods outside
Of town tonight
Glowing flames
Light the way to a safer place
A gentler pace

I lost myself
When I found my way
Safe place to dwell
Where I share my days
It's what I've learned
From this bittersweet world
This bittersweet world
This bittersweet world

I lost my way
When I found myself
Safe place to stay
Where I share my wealth
It's what I've learned
From this bittersweet world
This bittersweet world
This bittersweet world

The higher evolved
Have farther to fall
The higher evolved
Have farther to fall
The higher evolved
Have farther to fall
The higher evolved
Have farther to fall
The higher evolved
Have farther to fall
The higher evolved
Have farther to fall
The higher evolved
Have farther to fall

Dark in the street
It's dark in the street
Da da dark in the street
It's dark in the street
It's dark in the street
It's dark

"Free Me" Lyrics:

Free me from this place
Free me from this place
Free me from this place
Into outer space

Free me from this place
Free me from this place
Free me from this place
Into outer space

Inner grace
Inner grace

We're flowers not fish
Human consciousness
Said we're flowers not fish
Human consciousness
A dolphin more like me
How I long to be
With the birds and the bees
Or a wise old tree
A wise old tree

Free my mind
Let it pass
Breathing in
Sweet air alas
Praying to
The God of chance
We're awake

Free me from this place
Free me from this place
To the end we race
Into outer space

Free me from this place
Into outer space
Gotta keep the pace
To the end we race

Inner grace
Inner grace
When the darkness is true
And it creeps into you
At the bottom of the sea
How I long to be
With the fish that was me
Or a wise old tree
A wise… 

Free my mind
Let it pass
Breathing in
Sweet air alas
Praying to
The God of chance
A thread in me
We have this dance
Have this dance
We have this chance
Chance
We have this chance
Chance…. 
OoooooOooo…. 
 

"The Quickening" Lyrics:

I wear this grin
I wear it well
Throw my arms up high
And wail up to the sky

Right our wrongs
Sing these songs
So the memories carry on

Well the red light is on
And I tried to forewarn my friends
I said the signs are near
That the end is clear in sight

I feel
It under my skin
It's almost time
The quickening

Oooo oooo

Well the signs are clear
The beginning is here
And I tried to tell my family
I said the red light is on
So sound the alarms my friends

I feel
It under my skin
The time is now
Awakening
The Quickening

Ooooo ooooo ooooo ooooo
Ooooo ooooo ooooo
[Scat section]

"That's What She Said" Lyrics: 

What's it really all about she said
Where do we go after we are dead
That's What She Said
Where do we go after we are dead
That's What She Said

I got myself most of the time
Every now and then I lose my mind
That's What She Said

My mind's made up
I'm gonna fill my cup
While I am here
My wings appear

Our hearts are one
Assimilation
Collective mind
The truth we find
Ahhh woah woah... 

I got myself most of the time
Every now and then I lose my mind
That's What She Said

Where do we go after we are dead
That's What She Said

My mind's made up
I'm gonna fill your cup
While I am here
My wings appear

Our hearts are one
Assimilation
Unbounded truth
Is fucking cool
Ahhh woah woah… 

As the feathered serpent chokes on his tail
A truth pigeon pledges vengeance on the snail village
So set back
Soak in your gaze
Study your senses
'Cos there is no end
Please don't beg
Just ride the edge
Gaze back
Dig in
And be glad
Tomorrow is still happening

What's it really all about
What's it really all about
What's it really all about she said
What's it really all about she said
What's it really all about she said
Where do we go after we are dead
That's what she said

"Ambivalent" Lyrics:

I sleep well at night
Knowing I am right
And you are wrong
Woah woah

Even though you done me wrong
I am writing you this song
In honor of the long and drawn out times
We've traveled along

You don't know what you want
You're Ambivalent
But that's alright
You keep me up all night
Singing this song
Woah woah [repeats] 

I sleep well at night
Knowing I am right
And you are wrong
Woah woah

Even though you done me wrong
I am writing you this song
In honor of the long and drawn out times
We've traveled along

You don't know what you want
You're Ambivalent
But that's alright
You keep me up all night
Singing this song
Woah woah [repeats] 

I sleep well at night
Knowing I am right
And you are wrong
[laughs]
