1. _ Chicken
Written by toad the wet sprocket
He has many faces
Full moon cycle changes
Why leave the cages
Why question nature
How is it better
Not in the world and not wanting
He give any reason
Full moon turn of season
Why follow sages
Why ask for heaven
Why give up praying
Nothing is worse than not wanting to
A car in every garage
A chicken in every pot
He has...

3. _ All Right
Music by: todd nichols and toad
Lyrics by: glen phillips
Losing my aim losing time
And after
Ten in the morning i find
It matters
But it's all right this time
Pulls from the tether to rise
And shatters
Caught in the wind far and wide
It scatters
If i hear the call
Of the lorelei
No i will not fall
It's all right this time
Never patterns
But for the loss of things
Gaining
Catching up with me
And these ladders
Rising and endlessly
Leading
Nowhere i can see
If i hear them cry
That it's killing time
No i will not fight
It's all right this time

4. _ So Alive
Music by: todd nichols, glen phillips and toad
Lyrics by: glen phillips
Soft between these sheets i shiver
I move in time
My thoughts collide and body whispers
Am i alive
This place will speak its language to me
I slip inside
A breath escapes and i fly with it
I'm so alive
I'm alive (3x)
Moving in waves
Caught in a slow landslide
Sleeping still but so alive
(break)
I'm alive (3x)
Moving in waves
Caught in a slow landslide
Sleeping still but so alive
Breathing in waves
Pulling away, rising
Running scared but so alive
(plus mystery lyrics not on the recording:)
I see you on a road i travel
I move in time
The earth forgives my trespass
And i'm alive...

5. _ Janitor
Written by toad the wet sprocket
Been two weeks now
Kitchen stinks now
Finally got the guts to saunter in
And don a pair of gloves
And the janitor sleeping in a drum
Janitor i've become
Bubbles bristles
Thorns and thistles
Liquid sticks to things
That never should be seen by anyone
Like the janitor sleeping in a drum
Janitor i've become
And it amazes me how easily things go away
A chemical for every need
And someone else's problem when i leave
Is the janitor sleeping in a drum
Janitor you'll become
You'll become.

6. _ All She Said
Written by toad the wet sprocket
Will my bride sleep tonight
Softly
Believe the words
As always lying
And she sleeps and dreams
Lord knows what
But it's not for me to be there
And she knows she isn't there for me
It's just a way of protecting
And will my bride believe the lie
Says it's all right; still together till we die
But she knows that words aren't always
Always what we mean to say
But still she says she loves me anyway
That's all she said
One more word she speaks and says good night
She would believe enchanted lies
I wait for her but still inside
She's dreaming of valentino's eyes
Far away in someone else's night
It isn't wrong but still it isn't right
That's all she said

7. _ Brother
Music by: glen phillips and toad the wet sprocket
Lyrics by: glen phillips
I find my brother in there
Deep in my heart
I find my brother in there
Hold in my arms
I love you
And if i seem too quiet now
There are no words
To tell you how
I love you
I often feel
Like the prodigal son
Take all i need
Giving back none
Our beauty shows
In such different ways
You're like the light behind the fog
So soft
But still you burn my eyes away
I find my brother in there
Deep in my heart
I find my brother in there
Hold in my arms
I love you
And if i seem too quiet now
There are no words to show you how
I love you
So much has changed
And so much has happened these years
But still i find that you
Are waiting here
We have a bond
That nothing can change
And still i find
A peace of mind
Whenever i hear your name
And if i seem too quiet now
There are no words to show you how
I love you

8. _ Little Heaven
Music by: todd nichols, glen phillips, and toad
Lyrics by: glen phillips
Opened my eyes
The fire had come
Not for the end of days
Not for the faithless ones
Not for vision understood
Burns because it has to burn
Change'll happen whether we
Are still or moving
Breathe in waves of doubt
Bitter in your mouth
You will exhale cinnamon clouds
When it is quiet and still
I can feel older here
Change what i can and pray
The hope will not disappear
When we are not denying anything
Nothing is an enemy
Delicately balancing
The perfect world
Ride these waves of doubt
Bitter in your mouth
You will exhale cinnamon clouds
Little heaven
Riding waves of doubt
Turns me inside out
I will exhale primal shout
Little heaven
I understand
The fire will come
Not for the strength of will
Or passion of anyone
I understand
The fire will come
Not for the end of days
Not for the faithless ones

9. _ Hobbit On The Rocks
Music by: glen phillips and toad
Lyrics by: glen phillips
There's an old virginian vibraphone
With a calculated gait
And a man who thinks he's al capone
With a cumberbund and cape
Don't criticize what a vicar would prize in you
And talk to the man if you feel he needs talking to
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
And the fish upon the docks are dying
There's an orchestra in rococo
And an insulated dwarf
And the ships are sinking in the sea
As they sail from the shores
Don't criticize what a vicar would prize in you
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
And the fish upon the docks are dying
And the hobbit on the rocks is crying
For the grunion in the sand entwining
Don't criticize what a vicar would prize in you
And talk to yourself if you feel you need talking to

10. _ All In All
Music by: todd nichols and toad
Lyrics by: glen phillips
All in all it's just as well
Water moves, earth is still
Time is slower still
Half an hour is 30 days
Nothing moves at all this way
Hold on, i can wait
Life lies burning, i am only just as much as i can make myself
And i lie burning, life is only just a part of it
I can't help myself
All in all it's just the sun
Catch the wind, hold it down
Cold when evening comes
All in all it's just as well
Catch the river, make it still
Water turns the mill
Life lies burning, i am only just as much as i can help myself
And i lie burning, life is only just a part of it
I can't help myself
All in all it's just as well
Water moves and earth is still
Time is slower still
Half an hour is 30 days
Nothing moves all this way
Hold on, i can wait
But i can't wait
I can't wait
I can't help myself

11. _ Good Intentions
Music by: glen phillips and toad
Lyrics by: glen phillips
It's hard to rely on my good intentions
When my head's full of things that i can't mention
Seems i usually get things right
But i can't understand what i did last night
It's hard to rely on my own good senses
When i miss so much that requires attention
Have to laugh at myself sometimes
And i can see that i'm not blind
There's little relief
Give us reprieve
For all the things i've left behind
I'm positive that i'm not blind
I'm not afraid things won't get better
But it feels like this has gone on forever
You have to cry with your own blue tears
Have to laugh with your own good cheer
It's hard to rely on my good intentions
When my head's full of things that i can't mention
Seems i usually get things right
But i can't understand what i did last night
There's little relief
Give us reprieve
Imagining the world outside
I'm positive that i'm not blind
I can't be hard on you
'cause you know i've been there too
Learned a lot of things from you
But life gives little relief
Give us reprieve
And when everyone is cold as ice
I clinch my fists and close my eyes
Imagining the world outside
But i can see that i'm not blind

12. _ Are We Afraid
Music by: glen phillips and toad
Lyrics by: glen phillips
Wasn't it hard
And did we want penance
Summer's so long
Colder men when their ice prayer never came
Didn't we fight it
And weren't we hard
Holding back a friend of mine
All the way coming home
Aren't we the ones who never got tired?
Wasn't it magic
The flames rolled and i said ok
Were we just asking
For something to come our way
Are we another, were we afraid?
Is there a hope that we'll wait
To walk a time?
He's a long road...
And i feel like a newborn again
But the night holds on
Hello, i'm coming home
Don't we mind waiting
And are we ashamed
Coming here in the black dark night
And i don't feel so strange
Are we the lady?
Were we afraid?
Are we the summer...
