Track Name: Bonfire Man
LYRICS:
its a summer time feeling
all my clothes are out of season
everytime i turn around
you keep me spinning round and round

mr bonfire man
excuse me are you mexican?
por favor can you build a tree
blaze up a fire for meeeeee

burn down the empire
build up a bonfire
burn down the empire
build up a bonfire

burn it down burn it down baby
burn it down burn it down luv
burn it down burn it down baby

all my friends think i'm crazy
i'm not on drugs or anything
everyone's looking fly
but we're not going to the club tonight

mr bonfire man
excuse me are you mexican?
por favor can you build a tree
blaze up a fire for me

burn it down burn it down baby
burn it down burn it down love
Track Name: Lonely People
the middle of your darkest hour
you can't even remember your name

praying to a force thats uncertain
but faith - it keeps u sane
look up in the sky and hope
that one day they open the gates
were all alone but were together
waiting for the end of days

all the lonely people
all the lonely people
where do they go
all the lonely people
all the lonely people
where is their home
where is there home
where do they go

round around inside a maze
once a slave to the game
look around and see it all fade away
friends and foes we are the same
time will tell but never change
build, destroy and watch them gain everything
equalizing
Price is right then
that would mean my pay is rising
checking my stub but i cant find - anything
water table
continental
drifting shores so are u stable?
steady job but are u able to run away?

all the lonely people
all the lonely people
where do they go
all the lonely people
all the lonely people
where is their home
where is there home
where do they go

find find find your way home
try try try to get out
find find find your way home
try try try to get out

all the lonely people
all the lonely people
where do they go
all the lonely people
all the lonely people
where is their home
where is there home
where do they go
Track Name: What the Hell (are we waiting for)
here forever gone tomorrow
just run far from your thoughts of sorrow
i'm waiting for you time is borrowed
give it back or we wont be the same
I pull up when u are down
there is nothing we can't figure out
you would tell me all your plans about
how we gonna be together one day

so what the hell are we waiting for? (it's now or never)
we're running outta time, were running outta time
so what the hell are we waiting for? (it's now or never)

cant believe weve come this far
and the days feel like years apart
now we walk along the same old path
money changed but the journeys the same
my heart beats a melody
chasing,you skip out my memory
running round and around for centuries
will you ever be mine one day?

so what the hell are we waiting for? (it's now or never)
were running outta time, were running outta time
so what the hell are we waiting for? (it's now or never)
were running outta time, were running outta time
so what the hell are we waiting for? (it's now or never)

holding on my entire life and I ... gotto let it go,
holding on my entire life and I ... gotto let it go,
holding on my entire life and I ... gotto let it go,
I can be your everything ... you can be my everything,
I can be your everything,
I can be your everything,
I can be your everything ... you can be my everything,


so what the hell are we waiting for? (it's now or never)
we're running outta time, were running outta time
so what the hell are we waiting for? (it's now or never)
Track Name: Rock Steady
the sun so bright, sky so light, is feels so right, feels so right,
spice so nice, wanna taste it twice
red sun in your eyes

mountain view, riding thru, get your thrills, on memory hill
sweet cane fields, passion builds,

love how you make me feel

bodies so tight, never a need to fight,
stone love sound, gotta make the rounds
half way tree, he meets my needs
and lets me be who i wanna be


rock rock steady
with your mate, with a date
with a boy or a toy

rock rock steady
with your man with your fam
anytime anywhere, we can take you there

rock, rock steady
like gwen, like busy like beenie and buju
and the whole line crew

rock, rock steady
like santi, like reed
like marley and lee


easy ride, lose track of time,
natural high, culture thrives,
late night vibes, sessions live
having the time of our lives

take a ride, on the left hand side
treasure beach, with in reach
homegrown weed, mango trees
island life sets my mind at ease


rock rock steady
with your mate, with a date
with a boy or a toy

rock rock steady
with your man with your fam
anytime anywhere, we can take you there

rock, rock steady
like busy like beenie and buju
and the whole line crew

rock, rock steady
like santi, like reed
like marley and lee
Track Name: Paper Chase
paperchase we're on a paperchase
they gonna get ya money someway
times is crazy
can we make it thru another day.
can we make it thru another day.

frozen dinners make you sick
pop it in and it comes out quick
the FDA is illegit
are you conscious of the things you do
ignorance is not so bliss
when you consume shit like this
its all about want you want
its not about what you need.
its all about want you want
wall street ponzi schemes
clever lies tricks and games
economies come crashing down
what goes around, comes around
what goes around comes crashing down
comes crashing down
toxic fumes,
sweat shop shoes
paranoia, will destroy ya
power outage
ice cream shortage
running on e
pockets empty
our pockets are empty
Track Name: Love Me Down
i fear my own shadow
fight all the wrong battles
my glass is half empty
you say its half full
I see a black hole you see a brand new soul

i , i don't know why every time
i get stuck in the back of the line
I'm lost and then i'm found
and you love me up
you love me down

some days i wanna stay
some days I wanna go
run naked in the rain
make angels in the snow
If I only knew half of what you know....

i , i don't know why every time
i get stuck in the back of the line
I'm lost and then i'm found
and you love me up
you love me down

some days i wake up and I don't know where I am
don't know which way to go, can't find my homeland
so many highs... so many lows
have faith you say one day you'll know
Track Name: Modus Operandi
whats your modus
operandi

my elevator
straight into
your escalator
push up the fader
its not debatable
so take me right now
not later
to Bangkok baby
where the boys are ladies
where the boys are all ladies
lets make a dark mixtape
and make love to escape
and make love to escape
and make love to escape

whats your modus
operandi

you think i'm
mentally ill
well at least
i'm not on pills
i'm just trying to keep it real
i'm control freak
your a control freak
my life is a wreck
yet you keep me in check
i never disrespect
cuz ya got my back
cuz you got my back
Track Name: What I Want
break it down break it down

when your alone why do you
self destruct
when i speak these words
please don't interrupt
Now I'm free... its only me
Now I'm free... its only me

did you love me like i loved you?
lets make it clear how this things is thru
we're not made for each other so let it go
everybody knows that is over so let it go

i know what
what i want
when i want it
you don't know
what i want
when i want it

i don't know
what you want
when you want it
you don't know
what you want
to be honest

when i feel your touch
i get cold rush
when i'm in your bed
you won't give me head
we're not made for each other so let it go
everybody knows that its over so let it go

why is it all about you
its always about you
why is it always about you
and ironically its never even ever about you
its never about you

i know what
what i want
when i want it
you don't know
what i want
when i want it

i don't know
what you want
when you want it
you don't know
what you want
to be honest

break it down break it down
you think you know
but you just don't
you think you know but
you just don't know
you think you know
but you just don't know
shit
Track Name: Doing it All For Love
When I was a little girl
I looked strange was so shy
I used to wonder about world
the kids laughed as they pushed by
I said that one day i'll look back and
I will just laugh out loud
thinking about those days
keep your head up when you hit the ground

CHORUS
I was doin it, doin it, doin it
doin it all for love
Soon ill be living it, living it
soon ill be living it, living it up
I was doin it, doin it, doin it

doin it all for love
Soon ill be living it, living it
soon ill be living it, living it up

VERSE 2
I always walked in the other direction

It's cause thats where I always belonged
Fighting demons and my own reflection
the days were lonely and the nights were long
I said that one day i'll look back and
I'll will be so happy and proud
I'll be glad i went through the hard times
so ill know how good it feels now

CHORUS
I was doin it, doin it, doin it
doin it all for love
Soon ill be living it, living it
soon ill be living it, living it up
I was doin it, doin it, doin it
Soon ill be living it, living it,

BRIDGE
I'll search the whole world for you
I'll keep on fighting till it comes true
My dreams are everything I do,
Just dont give up cause I wont too
Track Name: New World
VERSE 1
Packing my bags im leaving tonight,
Jumping on the last train nobody in sight,
I'm gonna find meaning
gonna find freedom,

you cant stop me
while im still breathing,
look for happiness in the darkness,
travel far, move to the farthest -
destination, hesitation, im arriving at the station

PRE CHORUS
You are not alone
it's been too long
but u are not alone,
Even when you gone
I know your coming home,
You are not alone,

CHORUS
Were living in the new world
everybody needs a friend,
Were living the new world
we can never fall again,
Were living in the new world
everybody needs a friend,
Were living the new world
we can never fall again,

VERSE 2

Everybody moving at the speed of light,
Can't breathe for a moment cant stop tonight,
I gotto find peace, gotto find love now
You cant stop me, no way no how,
BREAK

Every Moment is a Revolution
Were Living in the Future
Green Pastures and Gold, it all awaits you,
you don't have to look too far
PRE CHORUS
We were once thriving,
Life line is dying,
Don't let it destroy you,
CHORUS

Were living in the new world
everybody needs a friend,
Were living the new world
we can never fall again,
Were living in the new world
everybody needs a friend,
Were living the new world
we can never fall again,

OUTRO
We will never fall again,
Forever, Never we can Never,
We were once thriving,
Life line is dying,
Don't let it destroy you,
We were once thriving,
Life line is dying,
Don't let it destroy you
