1. _ What Goes On
(reed)
What goes on in your mind?
I think that i am falling down.
What goes on in your mind?
I think that i am upside down.
Lady, be good, and do what you should,
You know it'll work allright.
Lady, be good, do what you should,
You know it'll be allright.
I'm goin' up, and i'm goin' down.
I'm gonna fly from side to side.
See the bells, up in the sky,
Somebody's cut the string in two.
Lady, be good, and do what you should,
You know it'll work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should,
You know it'll be alright.
One minute one, one minute two.
One minute up and one minute down.
What goes on here in your mind?
I think that i am falling down.
Lady, be good, and do what you should,
You know it'll work alright.
Lady, be good, do what you should,
You know it'll be alright.

3. _ After Hours
(reed)
One, two, three
If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never
All the people are dancing
And they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
If you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the wine-glass out
And drink a toast to never
Oh, someday i know
Someone will look into my eyes
And say hello
You're my very special one
But if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
Dark party bars, shiny cadillac cars
And the people on subways and trains
Looking gray in the rain, as they stand disarrayed
Oh, but people look well in the dark
And if you close the door
The night could last forever
Leave the sunshine out
And say hello to never
All the people are dancing
And they're having such fun
I wish it could happen to me
Cause if you close the door
I'd never have to see the day again
I'd never have to see the day again, once more
I'd never have to see the day again

4. _ I'm Set Free
(reed)
I've been set free and i've been bound
To the memories of yesterday's clouds
I've been set free and i've been bound
And now i'm set free
I'm set free
I'm set free to find a new illusion
I've been blinded but
Now i can see
What in the world has happened to me
The prince of stories who walk right by me
And now i'm set free
I'm set free
I'm set free to find a new illusion
I've been set free and i've been bound
Let me tell you people
What i found
I saw my head laughing
Rolling on the ground
And now i'm set free
I'm set free
I'm set free to find a new illusion

5. _ Pale Blue Eyes
(reed)
Sometimes i feel so happy
Sometimes i feel so sad
Sometimes i feel so happy
But mostly you just make me mad
Baby you just make me mad
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Thought of you as my mountain top
Thought of you as my peak
Thought of you as everything
I've had but could'nt keep
I've had but could'nt keep
If i could make the world as pure and strange as what i see
I'd put you in the mirror i put in front of me
I'd put in front of me
Skip a life completely, stuff it in a cup
She said money is like us in time
It lies but can't stand up
Down for you is up
It was good what we did yesterday
And i'd do it once again
The fact that you are married
Only proves that you're my best friend
But it's truly, truly a sin
Linger on, your pale blue eyes
Linger on, your pale blue eyes

6. _ Candy Says
(reed)
Candy says i've come to hate my body
And all that it requires in this world
Candy says i'd like to know completely
What others so discreetly talk about
Candy says i hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says i hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions in my mind
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when i'm older
What do you think i'd see
If i could walk away from me

7. _ Some Kinda Love
(reed)
Some kinds of love
Marguerita told tom
Between thought and expression lies a lifetime
Situations arrive because of the weather
And no kinds of love
Are better than others
Some kinds of love
Marguerita told tom
Like a dirty french novel
The absurd courts the vulgar
And some kinds of love
The possibilites are endless
And for me to miss one
Would seem to be groundless
I heard what you said
Marguerita heard tom
And of course you're not charmless
For a bore is a straight line
That finds a wealth in division
And some kinds of love
Are mistaken for vision
Put jelly on your shoulder
Let us do what you fear most
That from wich you recoil
But which still makes your eyes moist
Put jelly on your shoulder
Lie down on the carpet
Between thought and expression
Let us now kiss the culprit
I don't know just what it's all about
Put on your red pajamas and find out

8. _ That's The Story Of My Life
(reed)
That's the story of my life
That's the difference between wrong and right
But billy said, both those words are dead
That's the story of my life

9. _ Beginning To See The Light
(reed)
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
Some people work very hard,
But still they never get it right.
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
Now i'm beginning to see the light.
Wine in the morning
And some breakfast at night.
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
Here we go again
Playing the fool again.
Here we go again
Acting hard again.
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
Now i'm beginning to see the light.
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
I'm beginning to see the light.
I wore my teeth in my hands
So i could mess the hair of the night
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
Hey i'm beginning to see the light.
I met myself in a dream
And i just wanna tell you - everything was alright
I'm beginning to see the light.
Here comes two of you,
Which one will you chose?
One is black, one is blue.
Don't look just what to do.
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
Now i'm beginning to see the light.
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
Some people work very hard
But still they never get it right
Well i'm beginning to see the light.
There are problems in these times
But none of them are mine
Baby, i'm beginning to see the light.
Here we go again,
I thought that you were my friend.
Here we go again,
I thought that you were my friend.
How does it feel to be loved?
How does it feel to be loved?
