1. _ Small World
Someday when i'm flying far away
Somewhere over germany
Someday when you least expect
I'll be singing in your hair
Once upon a time in a different era
When great fat cadillacs roamed the earth
Oh, it's a small world on a two-inch t.v.
Yes, it's a small world on a two-inch t.v. screen
Small world
Someday when i'm lost in a dream
Out my window in the clouds
Someday you'll be doing your gardening
Hear me singing out loud
Once upon a time in a different age
Of drive-in movies and luxury trains
Oh, it's a small world on a two-inch t.v.
Yes, it's a small world on a two-inch t.v. screen
Small world
Big doors opening
Big doors are opening wide
Glass of red wine
Wine...

2. _ Looking For A Ufo
I'm looking through my telescope
Looking for a ufo
I'm looking through my telescope
Searching for a ray of hope
To come out of this dark night
I hope they understand wrong from right
And maybe they can show us
How to clean up our mess
I'm looking through my telescope
Looking for a ufo
I wonder what they see on earth
Do they see the hate and hurt
Or do they see the christmas lights and mirth
And hear songs of peace on earth
Somebody will have to fall out of the sky
Somebody to show us how to survive
Oh, wouldn't that be nice
Somebody to guide us out of this dark night
Somebody to show us how to take hate and hurt
And turn it into peace on earth
I'm looking for a ufo
I'm looking through my telescope
For somebody with a ray of hope

3. _ Young Lions
Hot tribal night
Underneath florescent skies
Bonfires rage strange
Wild waving shouting picasso faces
In the guise of a lioness
The wind kisses her burning dress
You can fell her animal eyes
You can hear them cry,
"be the jewel around my neck,
Never a tear on my burning dress"
Lying, paralyzed,
A brave prey who lays dying
And is surrounded by angry spirits
Hunters, guns, drums, and elephants
Why is this night quiet?
Filled with trees filled with eyes
As she prowls around my feet
She throws back her head dress and cries,
"now you will be mine,
Be my young lion"
Why is this night quiet?
Why the trees filled with eyes?
As she prowls around my feet
She throws back her head dress and cries,
"be my young lion"

4. _ I Am What I Am
I (belew/omega)
"friends seen an' unseen...to you that are ridin' along
In your automobile...to you that are sitting at you table
I greet you with the holy word 'peace'...
For with my infinite mind i thinks constructively...
And i'm able to draw whatsaever i want into my immediate
Surroundin'...for yo' minds are my mind
And my mind is yo' mind and i'm sendin' out
My mind to you, you, an' you...
You've got to remain to bein' yourself...you cannot be
Nobody else, it ain't no use tryin' bein' no whirlwind
An' uh, jumpin' here an' an' playin' checkers with
Your own life, that ain't gonna work, baby...
Now repeat these words behind me:
'i am what i am'...now that's all you are...
You are what you believe you are...stretch out
So many of you all in radioland, you're not stretchin' out...
But i want to say one thing to you today...it makes no
Differen' who you are, what you're doin', what you're
Tryin' to do or want to do, repeat these words
'i am what i am and that's all i am...is what i am'...
That's all i, look, that, that's all i am is what i am...and i'm it
Make no differen' whether it's in the mornin',
The evenin', or in the night time...
Hair breakin' out, bald headed...it's the same thing...
You are what you believe you are
'cause some of you all are sittin' there right now,
Amen, an' tell if you had a necktie on yo', on now, right now,
A whirlwind would come along an' choke you to death,
That's how bad luck some of you all in...
Some of you all in such a bad luck right now
That you couldn't hit a barn with a baseball bat...
Some of you all in such a bad luck right now, amen,
If you was to sit down by-a-by-men, by a pond, amen,
Somethin' would come up an' stick ya'
You just in that bad a' luck...
I am what i am...now repeat this behind me:
'i am what i am and that is all i am and i am it'...
Yes, i know what you're sayin'...stretch out...oh, yes...stretch out"

5. _ Gunman
(belew/bowie)
Gunman, my sort of star, we put you there
You're all of us now, you're all over town
On wrappers and cans, you're bigger than life
You're braver than dad
You're a gunman, holding your own
You're a gunman, never alone
Gunman, leader of packs, shadow of death,
Killer in chic, never betrayed, friend of our kids
You're a gunman, holding your own
You're a gunman, never alone
Gunman, trader in arms
The kids on the streets are buying your charms
Gunman, my sort of star,
We're bleeding for you, we put you there
What would you give, you're all of us now
We're burning for you
You're all over town, gunman,
You're on wrappers and cans,
You're bigger than life and we're dying for you
And you're braver than dad, gunman
You're woman are dogs
But they're braver than you
We're bleeding for you
What would you give
We're burning for you, gunman
We invented you,
Now we've got to live with you
You're more solid than a rock
A rock of cocaine or crack or ice or death,
Like a rock of death
Like a gravestone,
Gunman

6. _ Phone Call From The Moon
"hello, honey, i hope i didn't wake you up,
But i had to hear your voice
I'm standing in another phone booth,
Somewhere on the moon
I'm alright, i guess, except for all the stuff i miss
The things we used to do
I never knew i could be this blue
It's so quiet here
Like the stars are sayin',
"shh, be quiet"
So, how are the kids?
Did i miss his birthday again?
Aw, no...could you tell him i'm sorry,
Sometimes my mind gets blurry
And i lose all sense of time
Time moves slowly
Like the curve of the earth
Aw, honey, i wish i really could
Reach out and touch you...but that's not real
Like the moon is blue...like this lonely view
From a sad phone...out here on the moon
And it feels like one long lonely night
You know what i mean,
That's why i called"

7. _ Men In Helicopters
Wouldn't it be great
To see the african plains
Before they lay them to waste
And only the bones remain
Wouldn't it be poetry
To shoot holes in the poachers we see
With an elephant gun
Men in helicopters fly
Shooting rhinos from out of the sky
Why do we always assume
The planet is ours to ruin?
What a legacy we're leaving behind
What a legacy
Wouldn't it be something
For the men killing dolphin
To be caught up by their necks
In their greedy fishing nets
Wouldn't it be irony
If the tuna fish canneries
Were to fall into the sea
The dolphins and the whales still left alive
Cry to the stars in the deep blue night
"there's nowhere to hide,
The people on earth will not be denied"
What a legacy we're leaving behind
What a legacy
Wouldn't it be odd
If there really was a god
And he looked down on earth
And saw what we've done to her
Wouldn't it be just
If he pulled the plug on us,
And took away the sun
