1. _ Look Around
Music & lyrics: john popper
You'll get no answer from me
About what i want or what i get
Brave enough to speak afraid to see
Confuse the issue till you forget
And i've tried
To finally decide
Why
I'm in your face
And if you can't already tell
I am unable to let things go
I'm told i do it very well
But more important you should know
That all the same
You've got no one to blame
But yourself
If you call that a waste
Cause it ain't me
That's been hurting you inside
And if you've learned
You'll know much more than i
That you're gonna have to go and find it
You'll have to dig beneath the ground
You'll have to unearth every ugly stone
That kept you on your own
And simply put them down
You're gonna have to look around
You'll get no answer from me
About what i get or what i want
That was enough to make her leave
She's not the first one come and gone
And i don't care
Buyer beware
Of me
Cause it might get rough
If you want peace then live alone
If you wanna hide then find a stage
Each a brief but perfect home
To accommodate your rage
And sometimes
In the midst of all my crimes
I feel lost
Or have i lost enough
Remaining friends
Remind me as they say
It's up to you
The things you throw away
And still you're gonna have to go and find it
You'll have to dig beneath the ground
You'll have to unearth every ugly stone
That kept you on your own
And simply put them down
You're gonna have to look around
You're gonna have to look around
You're gonna have to look around

2. _ The Mountains Win Again
Music & lyrics: bobby sheehan
I pick up my smile put it in my pocket
Hold it for a while try not to have to drop it
Men are not to cry so how am i to stop it
Keep it all inside don't show how much she rocked ya
Ooh can you feel the same
Ooh you gotta love the pain
Ooh it looks like rain again
Ooh i feel it comin' in
The mountains win again
The mountains win again
Dreams we dreamed at night were never meant to come to life
I can't understand the ease she pulled away her hand
This time in my life i was hurt enough to care
I guess from now on i'll be careful what i share
Ooh can you feel the same
Ooh ya gotta love the pain
Ooh it looks like rain again
Yeah feel it comin' in
The mountains win again
A pocket is no place for a smile anyway
Someday i will find love again will blow my mind
Maybe it will be that love that got away from me
Is there a line to write that could make you cry tonight
Can you feel the same
Yeah ya gotta love the pain
Ooh it looks like rain again
Ooh feel it comin' in
The mountains win again
Ooh the mountains win again

3. _ Stand
Music & lyrics: john popper
Stand
Stand and walk
Tragedy
Is cheap and so is talk
Decision
Yours to make what will you do
In the end
It comes back to you
Cause it's a long... way to fall
Thunder
Don't scare me at all
Lightning
Well just a little
Pressure
It ain't worth a dime
And your wounds
They'll all heal in time
Cause it's a long... way to fall
The answers are getting harder
The answers are getting harder
The answers are getting harder
(if an answer comes to those who pray)
The answers are getting harder
(if an answer comes to those who pray)
The answers are getting harder
(if an answer comes to those who pray)
The answers are getting harder and harder
And there ain't no way to bargain or to barter
But if you've got the angst or the ardor
You might faint from the fight but you're gonna find it
For every challenge could have paradise behind it
And if you accept what you have lost and you stand tall
You might just get it back and you can get it all
So now you know why it's a long way to fall
Yeah cause it's a long way to fall
Cause it's a long... way to fall
(scat solo)
Stand
Stand and walk
Stand

4. _ Fallible
Music: chan kinchla
Lyrics: john popper
With an air of indignation
Smiles a painted porcelain face
And we're supposed to trust this
Decorum has its place
But you and i beyond that
With a question i might ask
How suddenly the smile doth crack
When we slip beneath the mask
And they're fallible
Yeah they're fallible
And we hold up a mirror
And we hate what we see
And we keep on trekking westward
Infallibly
God i wanna touch you
In the place you wanna hide
Dare you to come after me
Commit my "narcisside"
Punishing the guilty
Was never the intent
I just busted out of prison baby
That's really where i went
And i'm fallible
Yeah i'm fallible
And we hold up a mirror
And we hate what we see
And we keep on trekking westward
Infallibly
In the name of all the power
That's centered in your hand
If you crave some revolution
Take possession of your stand
It's the only one you'll get to make
In a moment come and gone
So do your best to stay awake
And own the path you're on
Cause you're fallible
Yeah you're fallible
And we hold up a mirror
And we hate what we see
And we keep on trekking westward
Infallibly
Infallibly
... forgiving nothing

5. _ Just Wait
Music & lyrics: john popper
If ever you are feeling like you're tired
And all your uphill struggles leave you headed downhill
If you realize your wildest dreams can hurt you
And your appetite for pain has drinken its fill
I ask of you a very simple question
Did you think for one minute that you are alone
And is your suffering a privilege you share only
Or did you think that everybody else feels completely at home
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
If you think i've given up on you you're crazy
And if you think i don't love you well then you're just wrong
In time you just might take to feeling better
Time is the beauty of the road being long
I know that now you feel no consolation
But maybe if i told you and informed you out loud
I say this without fear of hesitation
I can honestly tell you that you make me proud
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
If anything i might have just said has helped you
If anything i might have just said helped you just carry on
Your rise uphill may no longer seem a struggle
And your appetite for pain may all but be gone
I hope for you and cannot stop at hoping
Until that smile has once again returned to your face
There's no such thing as a failure who keeps trying
Coasting to the bottom is the only disgrace
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come
Just wait
Just wait
Just wait
And it will come

6. _ Run-around
Music & lyrics: john popper
Once upon a midnight dearie
I woke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
Of a phone call and of what you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When i saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who needs to humor me and tell me lies
Yeah humor me and tell me lies
And i'll lie too and say i don't mind
And as we seek so shall we find
And when you're feeling open i'll still be here
But not without a certain degree of fear
Of what will be with you and me
I still can see things hopefully
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
And shake me and my confidence
About a great many things
But i've been there i can see it cower
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the heroes are right
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And hollywood's calling for the movie rights
Singing hey babe let's keep in touch
Hey baby let's keep in touch
But i want more than a touch i want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't you feed me a line
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
Tra la la la la bombardier this is the pilot speaking
And i've got some news for you
It seems my ship still stands no matter what you drop
And there ain't a whole lot that you can do
Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps i've grown a little cynical
But i know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink in and always be full
My cup shall always be full
Oh i like coffee
And i like tea
I'd like to be able to enter a final plea
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you to the point you can no longer take
Well all right okay
So be that way
I hope and pray
That there's something left to say
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down

7. _ Freedom
Music: bobby sheehan
Lyrics: john popper
I walk right by him and he's freezing his ass off
He could be dead i'm supposed to walk away
I won't remember a thing come the summertime
Handful of quarters make me feel okay
Ah ah who's gonna have to pay
Ah ah who do i love today
I love what's mine cause what's mine is all mine
Gives me a reason to go get more
Don't really care where i go to get it
I ain't too clear about "what's yours is yours"
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it
Take a look out your back door
If you don't like a single thing that i'm saying
If you're offended when i demonstrate
Don't mean a damn to me and i shall continue
Hope you won't mind if i control my fate
Ah ah who will i have to fight
Ah ah to defend my created right
I'll defend what's mine cause what's mine will be all mine
It's what i'd fight for it's for what i'd bleed
I roll the dice on the grand experiment
While i am strong i will get what i need
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it
Take a look out your back door
If you're concerned with the moral imperative
If you are tripping on the right thing to do
Come to my office with the exclusive screenplay
I think there's money in a book about you
Ah ah what have you got to lose
Ah ah which are you gonna choose
I choose what's mine so what's mine will be all mine
Gonna make a million on the folly of men
Don't even care about no consequences
Turn my damnation into chapter ten
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it
Take a look out your back door

8. _ Price To Pay
Music: chan kinchla
Lyrics: john popper
Standing here with a tale to tell
I might as well tell to you
Nothing near wagnerian
As terminator two
It's an old one about a little dirt farm girl
Who wanted to get out for good
She'd do anything to keep that dream
She'd do anything she could
Who was she
To feel so free
With her heart on her sleeve
She just couldn't believe...
There was a price to pay
Her very first chance to escape that year
Came when the circus had come to town
She wound up in bed and quite madly in love
With some rubber nose juggling clown
He promised he'd return for her come next spring
And he swore that he wouldn't forget
Needless to say come the following may
More than her appetite was getting wet
She proceeded unheeded and quite undefeated
To the trailer behind the tents
And her heart began to soar at his trailer door
She was gonna go wherever he went
Who was she
To feel so free
With her heart on her sleeve
She just couldn't believe...
There was a price to pay
He arrived at last at about half past
With a girl under every arm
But all of this in itself could have been innocent as hell
But what began to cause her alarm
Was when he locked the door behind him like she'd always been
She was standing alone in the dirt
And her eyes were so dry that she began to cry
And something began to hurt
She wanted to tear the hair out of her head
Yeah and she wanted to wish that she was dead
But a voice in her just would not let her drop
And her heart began to break but it didn't stop
"run all you're races
And don't you fear
You and i
Are getting out of here
And we'll survive
That i guarantee
Cause you don't need much
When all you have is me"
She listened to the little voice in her
And then she hit the road
Free at last and with just a tiny scar
And finally on her own
No one knows what became of her
All we know is she got away
And though there really ain't no guarantees down here
I like to think she did okay
Who was she
To feel so free
With her heart on her sleeve
She just wouldn't believe
That there's a price to pay
That there's a price to pay
That there's a price to pay
That there's a price to pay

9. _ Brother John
Music: chan kinchla
Lyrics: john popper & bobby sheehan
Are you sleeping
Brother john
If you feel like weeping
Brother john
Please won't you hear me
Brother john
Just wait and see
Brother john
Can't you see by the will of your hand
You can give it a try and just name your price
And everybody in this rock & roll band
Don't wanna preach don't wanna give advice
But the music's playing and all we're saying
Is come along and jam
And it's hard to be believed what can be achieved
With an outstretched hand
Are you sleeping
Brother john
If you feel like weeping
Brother john
Please won't you hear me
Brother john
Just wait and see
Brother john
The things that hurt just won't go away
But neither will we
Doesn't really matter either way cause you're all you need
To set yourself free
It may sound hard but it's just a start
To ride that wind
And you ain't peter pan you're just a man
You'll get there again
Are you sleeping
Brother john
If you feel like weeping
Brother john
Please won't you hear me
Brother john
Just wait and see
Brother john
Are you sleeping
Brother john
If you feel like weeping
Brother john
Please won't you hear me
Brother john
Just wait and see
Brother john
Just wait and see
Just wait and see
Just wait and see
Just wait and see
Won't you rise and shine
Won't you rise and shine
Won't you rise and shine
Won't you rise and shine
Won't you rise and shine
Won't you rise and shine
Won't you rise and shine
Won't you wait and see

Gonna ride you out like a witch on a broom

Gonna land gonna land gonna land gonna land
No matter how hard
