1. I'm A Tree
There's a tree in the city
It ain't lookin' pretty
Blessed with stress
Smog clogging feelin' shitty
There's a river on the highway
Things aint goin' my way
Turn around, go away
Come again another day
To the bed I go
Stumble to and fro
Tired from another day of lookin' for my glow
It's hard to get up
You can say I'm fed up
One things for certain
I gotta keep my head up
Keep your head up-keep my head up
Keep your head up-keep my head up
Keep your head up girl, keep your head up
Keep your head up-keep my head up
Keep your head up-keep my head up
Keep your head up girl, keep your head up
The sun aint hard to see
Just turn off your TV
Everything around you is just part of every other thing
I'm a tree
Why you gotta do what you do
Why you gotta tell me how to be
Gee, make me feel like you do
I'm tried of messing around
It's time to let these people know
A tree in the city
It needs somewhere to grow
River on the highway
I've never seen a grayer day
It's sad, its crappy, it needs somewhere to play
As for me, I'll sit under the tree
Cuz there ain't no better place to be
Keep your head up-keep my head up
Keep your head up-keep my head up
Keep your head up girl, keep your head up
Keep your head up-keep my head up
Keep your head up-keep my head up
The sun ain't hard to see
Just turn off your TV
Everything around you is just part of every other thing
I'm a tree
Yo, what a freak
Are you all staring at me? I'm a tree
Yo, what a freak
I'm a tree! [no you're not]
I'm a tree! [stop lying]
Keep your head up-keep my head up
Keep your head up-keep my head up
Keep your head up girl, keep your head up
Keep your head up-keep my head up
Keep your head up-keep my head up
Keep your head up girl, keep my head up
The sun aint hard to see
Just turn off your TV
Everything around you is just part of every other thing
I'm a tree
The sun aint hard to see
Just turn off your TV
Everything around you is just part of every other thing
I'm a tree
I'm a tree
2. Legend Of A Cowgirl
I'm gonna drink my whiskey
I'm gonna have my man
I know you got nothing to say
I'm gonna have my man
Gonna steal their hearts
and save them for another day
Ain't gonna hang my hat
Ain't gonna take off my boots
Ain't nothing gonna stop me in my pursuit
My stage, time to rehearse
Gonna see all the wonders of the universe
CH: Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Need no man to pay for anything
Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill, couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song
Such a beautiful day, Such a beautiful day
I think I'll wear my brand new negligee
I'll probably change my mind
It happens every time
Just speak to my ex-fiance
I'm gonna hunt the hunter, gonna serve'em well done
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
Up goes the moon, down goes the sun
Cook my dinner while I shine my gun
CH: Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Cause there ain't no thing like chickenwing
Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill, couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song
I'd give my life to be her
I'd give my live just to be her
I'd give my sight to see her
I'd give my sight just to see her
So here's the way I'm gonna break it down
Speak my mind any time 'cause I got the master plan
Power in my soul, strength from my hand
I'm going up north to claim my land
Won't settle by river, might make me shiver
So look out and hide your fans
I'm a woman on fire with huge desire
To be as good as any man
CH: Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Need no man to pay for anything
Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill, couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song.......
3. Naked City (Love To See U Shine)
Thursday came,
I was tired of the Fire Engines,
tired of the Taxi Cabs,
tired of the elevators,
tired of the door-man smiling,
when I know he wants to,
kick off his shoes and jump around like a fire cracker.
From the sidewalk
Trains about to pass
It smells like,
hot open steaming ass.
I gotta get out.
Gotta get the hell out.
I gotta get out.
Get the hell out.
Ran through the streets.
Threw off my clothes,
onto the ground.
Laughed as we danced around.
One with the city.
Drank from the fountains.
Swam through the pavement.
Nice to see you shine again.
Good to know you've got a friend.
I built a campfire in my in my 14309,
West 17th Street apartment complex.
Marshmallows roasted by a candlestick,
quick, get the water,
it's gettin' out of hand, yo.
Little glowing constellations,
on my ceiling, everywhere.
House plants covering,
our naked butts are bare.
Grab the kitten,
'cos the critters getting bored.
I'm gonna pick a big fat booger for the Lord.
Ran through the streets.
Threw off my clothes,
onto the ground.
Laughed as we danced around.
One with the city.
Drank from the fountains.
Swam through the pavement.
Suddenly I looked around.
Nice to see you shine again.
Good to know you've got a friend.
Ran through the streets.
Threw off my clothes,
onto the ground.
Laughed as we danced around.
One with the city.
Drank from the fountains.

Nice to see you shine again.
Good to know you've got a friend.
Nice to see you shine again.
Good to know you've got a friend.
4. It's All About Me, Me And Me
Wanda
My playful little friend who lives inside of me
She's good to joke
She's good to prank
She's good to laugh
But cannot see
Poor Wanda
Blind since the day she turned three
Felt real bad
So I took her in as a second personality
Just yesterday
Wanda said
"Without a doubt I'm moving out
I'm moving into the city
Getting fake titties
Gonna look pretty with a pink dress on"
She's gone
Ain't no way she's coming back
Too bad
I ain't gonna get sad
No way I'm gonna get sad
Someday you'll come to me
My supersonic personality
They'll never know just where we'll be
Secret source of reality
It's all about me, me and my other personality
It's all about me, supersonic personality
Tone deaf jeff
Moved in a day later
Found him in a resturant bitchin' to a waiter
He was moody
He was jaded
He was always constipated
Lets face it
He was everything i hated
Jeff, his brain's not big enough for the two of us
Take your thoughts
Take your mood
And take your voice
Its out of tune
If you move real quick
You can probably catch the next bus
Ain't no room for the two of us
Someday you'll come to me
My supersonic personality
They'll never know just where we'll be
Secret source of reality
It's all about me, me and my other personality
It's all about me, supersonic personality
Sixteen voices
Moved outta my head
I couldn't keep track
Off all the words they said
Brenda Bean was born
After watching superman
She wore a cape when troubles were near
She saved my life
Have no fear
For Brenda Bean will save the day
Any time, anyway, any how, any where
Brenda Bean will soon be there
Someday you'll come to me
My supersonic personality
They'll never know just where we'll be
Secret source of reality
It's all about me, my and my other personality
It's all about me, supersonic personality
5. Piece
Come take my hand,
and I'll show you to a place.
A spacey place.
A place with space.
Where there's a base,
and a case,
and floand a vase.
And my,my,my.
In this world,
it's hard to find,
within yourself,
some piece of mind.
I'm looking for something,
I have yet to find.
Some piece of mind.
This world makes no sense.
Hey.
What's up?
How ya doing?
Where ya going to?
I need to find a place to go.
Not ?????
With ho's and bro's standing under mistletoe.
My, my, my.
In this world,
it's hard to find,
within yourself,
some piece of mind.
I'm looking for something,
I have yet to find.
Some piece of mind.
T.V is good,
but I like movies better.
We'll all be equipped with one of these in the future.
Summer is nice,
but I like Autumn better.
It suddenly occurred to me with pieces of the picture.
This world makes no sense.
It's abusive elusive and constantly conflicting.
And I wish I could just be a part of it all.
In this world,
it's hard to find,
within yourself,
some piece of mind.
I'm looking for something,
I have yet to find.
Some piece of mind.
6. Karma And The Blizzard
Stranger gives a homeless man a ticket to Hawaii.
Giving him an option to sleep on the streets,
or sleep on the beach.
So the bum excepts the ticket graciously.
He said,
my my my,
what an opportunity.
He packed his bags,
got on the plane.
Got nothing to lose,
everything to gain.
Claimed his seat,
things are going well,
until, "Sorry Sir you'll have to leave,
you're filthy, you smell."
Everywhere you go there's a dude on your ass, yo.
Everywhere I go there's a dude on my ass, yo.
Hopefully, things will change,
maybe soon, I don't know,
I'll sit on the equator,
waiting for the snow.
If I had a clean shirt and a pair of shoes,
Propper ID then I wouldn't lose.
I'd walk the streets with my head held high.
I've found my place,
it's in the sky.
It's in the sky.
It's in the sky.
It's in the sky.
Stranger gives a poor man a million dollar cheque.
He was old, he was wealthy.
He figured, what the heck.
Without a doubt, without a dime,
humbly he walks,
all the way to the bank.
To himself he talks.
He said, "Ai ai ai. What am I gonna do with all these
dollars?,
Ai ai ai. What am I gonna do with all these quarters?,
"Ai ai ai. What am I gonna do with all these pennies?"
"Sorry, you can't cash a cheque without proper I.D."
Everywhere I go there's a dude up your ass, yo.
Everywhere I go there's a dude on my ass, yo.
Hopefully, things will change,
maybe soon, I don't know,
I'll sit on the equator,
waiting for the snow.
If I had a clean shirt and a pair of shoes,
Propper ID then I wouldn't lose.
I'd walk the streets with my head held high.
I've found my place,
it's in the sky.
It's in the sky.
It's in the sky.
It's in the sky.
The earth seems hushed,
when the first snow falls.
You watch the ground,
turns to a sea of white.
Peace is this feeling,
there's commotion up above.
The ground is freezing,
there's commotion up above.
The flight was tough,
mad people getting dizzy.
Everybody sick,
kept the flight attendants busy.
?????
Tripped on ice,
bumped her head,
didn't know who she be.
Everywhere you go there's a dude on your ass, yo.
Everywhere I go there's a dude on my ass, yo.
Hopefully, things will change,
maybe soon, I don't know,
I'll sit on the equator,
waiting for the snow.
If I had a clean shirt and a pair of shoes,
Propper ID then I wouldn't lose.
I'd walk the streets with my head held high.
I've found my place,
it's in the sky.
It's in the sky.
It's in the sky.
It's in the sky.
If I had a clean shirt and a pair of shoes,
Propper ID then I wouldn't lose.
I'd walk the streets with my head held high.
I've found my place,
it's in the sky.
It's in the sky.
It's in the sky.
It's in the sky.
7. One Of These Days
One of these days
I'm gonna be happy
One of these days
I'm gonna piss all over myself laughing
One of these days
I'm gonna get the punchline
One of these days
I'm gonna be happy
Till then I'm gonna bitch, moan, and groan
And hold the phone!
I'm not done
Where's everybody goin'?
What the fuck
This shit sucks
I'm bored
I'll take these two calls
To hell with you
To hell with me
To hell with hell
I'm gonna be happy
One of these days
I'm gonna be happy
One of these days
I'm gonna piss all over myself laughing
One of these days
I'm gonna get the punchline
One of these days
I'm gonna be happy
8. Pigeon Penelope
A trip today,
about seventeen times.
I was walking down the street,
saying "Keep in line, keep in line"
I wandered for about 17 feet.
Found my destination,
it was right across the street.
The park was nice,
the bums were chilling.
I dime for advice,
that was you.
I was willing,
to hear a chill bum having something to say.
Besides, here's a cup,
give me money while I lay.
Perched up in a tree,
spread your wings,
and then chose me.
You see.
'Cos I was feeling fine.
Pigeon Penelope,
eventually you will leave me alone.
It's just a matter of time.
Eyed the bird,
then my friend appeared.
He said:
"Imani how you feeling? 'Cos you acting kinda weird."
Mind went blank,
I couldn't explain.
Came up with something fast,
to prove that I was sane.
"It's that thing above me, not you sir, don't worry."
A bit disturbed,
left in a hurry.
Hand shake,
kiss on the cheek.
"You need some time, I'll see you in a week."
Perched up in a tree,
spread your wings,
and then chose me.
You see,
that I was feeling fine.
Pigeon Penelope,
eventually you will leave me alone.
It's just a matter of time.
Down came your little package.
Knocked me right off my feet.
If I could I swear I'd kill you.
Sugar cube's sure taste sweet,
with a pigeon.
Perched up in a tree,
spread your wings,
and then chose me.
You see,
that I was feeling fine.
Pigeon Penelope,
eventually you will leave me alone.
It's just a matter of time.
9. Soon (I Like It)
Soon they'll be coming,
and knocking at my door.
Not looking for no trouble.
Not asking for a war.
Giving much respect to our creators,
yes they are,
little aliens but their views are very far,
from ours.
The human being,
will have you seeing,
aint nothing more important than the money we bring in.
Sorry,
but it seems to me they're coming down,
for all phony fellows,
technological clowns.
I like it,
simply 'cos I like it.
The weather,
it's pretty,
I think I'm gonna hike it.
No matter where I go,
there I am.
It's simple.
I like it. I like it. I like it.
Try it you just might like it.
Little tiny creatures with very big eyes.
Extremely intellectual,
despite their size.
Holding in their heads the knowledge of the universe.
And watching it for so long,
and yes it's gotten worse.
What in the world do I know?
I'm just a homosapien.
My God.
It's wacky.
It's weird.
It's crazy,
and complicated.
What the hell did we do?
Don't look at me,
'cos I haven't got a clue.
I like it, I like it.
simply 'cos I like it.
The weather,
it's pretty,
I think I'm gonna hike it.
No matter where I go,
there I am.
It's simple.
I like it. I like it. I like it.
Try it you just might like it.
Wondering when they'll come for me,
and take me away where I can be free.
Until that day I will sit here and pray,
for them to come and take me away.
You hate it.
You hate it.
Complicated.
Yes you hate it.
You're weak.
I love it.
You can't segregate it.
Too late.
It's fate.
You can try to sedate it.
Complicated.
You'll hate it.
I like it, I like it.
simply 'cos I like it.
The weather,
it's pretty,
I think I'm gonna hike it.
No matter where I go,
there I am.
It's simple.
I like it. I like it. I like it.
Try it you just might like it
10. Forget Myself
I've been looking through your window
I've been confiscating your mail
I've been tapping into your phone line
I put bugs inside your molars
I fantasize my life with you
I held my breath till I turned blue
I'd love to see you in the nude
I've been following you throughout your days
I've been confiscating your mail
I've been talking to your lover
She told me "stay the hell away"
I fantasize my life with you
I held my breath till I turned blue
I'd love to see you in the nude
I fantasize my life with you
I held my breath till I tuned blue
I'd love to see you naked
Part of me went into you [forget my soul]
Lost my mind down the line [forget my soul]
Its just you [forget my soul]
You [forget my soul]
11. La Da Da
He shines like the moon
And he knows just who I am
And ever since
I looked into your eyes
I love you
La la la la da da
La da da da da
La da da da
La da da da
Things I fell
Things are changing
Things I know, you feel the same
But won't you please, listen to me once
I'll stand by you
La la la la da da
La da da da da
La da da da
La da da da
Sometimes it's hard to read you
Standing right there
I know just yesterday I told you
That I'd never leave your side
I'll stay there
Promise me I can never be that girl
Who would give anything just to lay in your world
The other day I saw you crying
You didn't know that I was there
You turned around and forced yourself to smile
Try hard to lie
You'll see that it was never me
You were always wrong
Forever's not too long
La la la la da da
La da da da da
La da da
La da da
My Day At the Ocean (secret song)
My day at the ocean
It's my day for collecting shells
It's my day for some fishin'
It's my day at the ocean
I pick up a shell, and put it to my ear
It whispers softly...imani
I threw it away
Because it scared me
It had no right to know my name
[Do you feel lost Imani?]
The waves ruff my up inside
The waves kill me every time
The waves
I like the waves
The waves
I like the waves
My day at the ocean
My day for collecting shells
It's my day for some fishin'
It's my day at the ocean
