- 1. Journey To The Center Of The Mind
Lyrics
Leave your cares behind come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
Beyond the seas of thought beyond the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams where things are really not
Come along if you care…
But please realize you’ll probably be surprised
For it’s the land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might not come back
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside and you’ll see
How happy life could be if all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Would take the time to journey to the center of the mind
Center of the mind

- 2. Baby, Please Don’t Go
Lyrics
Baby, please don’t go
Baby, please don’t go
Please don’t go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don’t go, alright
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way down here
And make you walk alone
Baby, please don’t go, alright
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
At the county farm
He had the shackles on
Baby, please don’t go
Baby, please don’t go
Baby, please don’t go
Please don’t go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don’t go
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
When the man done gone
At the county farm
He had the shackles on
Baby, please don’t go
Well after you left
My baby’s leaving on that midnight train
And I’m crying
And I’m crying
Baby, please don’t go
Baby, please don’t go
Please don’t go down to New Orleans
You know I love you so
Baby, please don’t go
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
Before I be your dog
I get you way down here
And make you walk alone
Baby, please don’t go, alright

- 3. Psalms Of Aftermath
Lyrics
Out of the darkness came the light
Out of the morning came the night
Out of the wilderness came the wild
And out of the woman came the child
So life began in this way
But the beauty will be gone
Come destruction day
Where’s goodness and mercy
On which life is based?
Has hatred and envy taken place?
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Now the time of man
Is used as past tense
Destroyed by its maker
For its own lack of sense
Annihilation came
No one could divert its path
Or could they’ve blamed God’s unmerciful wrath?
Now I’m the only one
Left to sing
The psalms of aftermath
Aftermath

- 4. Colors
Lyrics
If my mind descends
To reach the limit of no end
I see the death involved
Which comes between two friends
When you lose so much
You’re as good as dead
While the heat of my decision
Turn an angry red
It’s all in colors
Colors
Colors
Colors
With a turn of your degree
Just replenished shine
Well, that helps you see
The goodness found in me
Never, never, never, never
Will you find a finer fellow
Who brings the sunshine
Like my captain friend Yellow
It’s all in colors
Colors
Colors
Colors
Look and see
It works for me
The colors turn me on again
Each one is free
Like you and me
It’s groovy when a color’s your friend
All depends which color you’re in
Get this golden band
Don’t let it get the best view
If it does
You may consider yourself all blue
Its ugliness prevails
Now don’t look back
It’s bad is disastrous
The color is black
Such a nasty color
Colors
Colors
Colors

- 5. Down On Philips Escalator
Lyrics
Down On Philips Escalator
What a thrilling ride
It’s a feeling that you’ve never felt before inside
You can set your mind and body moving all around
But your feet aren’t moving, ’cause you haven’t left the ground
Down On Philips Escalator
Goodbye world I’ll catch you later on
For my consciousness is gone
And reality is wrong
Down On Philips Escalator
Top floor if you please
Ride as much as Philip rides, and see what Philip sees
If your heart won’t let you go and take a ride with Phil
Be obliged and set aside, there’s plenty more who will
Down On Philips Escalator
Goodbye world I’ll catch you later on
For my consciousness is gone
And reality is wrong
So please come along, but take care, beware
For those sun shining steps turn to ray
Elevators, escalators, take you up and bring you down
Ba ba baba…
Down On Philips Escalator
Now it’s time to go
Thank you and we hope that you all enjoyed our show
Down On Philips Escalator
Goodbye world I’ll catch you later on
For my consciousness is gone
And reality is wrong

- 6. Night Time
Lyrics
Will the…
‘Cause the night time’s here
And the dirt on my hands are down the drain
My hair’s hanging down
For I’m not in town
And anything I do, I’ll take the blame
Well, look out, world
Here I come
Happiness won’t take me long
An hour or two and I’m feelin’ fine
Believe me when I say
That the right time’s night time
Night time
Night time
Well, after a day of pitching hay
Of selling magazines from door to door
Or selling pot or giving shots
It’s always good to know there’s something more
At five o’clock when the day is done
People…just begun
If it’s…or drinking wine
Everybody knows
That the right time’s night time
Night time
Night time
Night time
Night time
So the day is gone
And the…come
And another day of work is drawing near
Well, I won’t feel bad and I won’t feel sad
For I know another night will soon be here
The sun will set and the moon will rise
I’ll walk along under the moonlit skies
If you don’t believe me, just drop me a line
…bet you
That the right time’s night time

- 7. Mississippi Murderer
Lyrics
Mississippi murderer
Runnin’ down the track
Wherever you’re headed, boy
You know you can’t look back
You might…forget
That thing that you’ve done
You might live to regret it
But you probably die young
Now don’t look back
Keep on runnin’ down the track
Yeah!
Sing your song
Look out!
Mississippi murderer
Whatcha gonna do
You found her with another man
She was bein’ untrue
The lights went out
You scrambled for the knife
Mississippi man…
He took a man’s life
Now don’t look back
Keep on runnin’ down the track
Oh, sing it…
Oh, Mississippi murderer
Whatcha runnin’ for
You know you’re gonna get caught
Gonna get caught now, for sure
You’re gonna keep runnin’
Runnin’ ’round the world
Things like this happen
When a boy meets a girl
Don’t look back
Keep on runnin’ down the track

- 10. Flight Of The Byrd
Lyrics
Look what you’ve done
You’ve paved my way…path
I know that it must be right
And we’re on our way
Talk to me, girl
Tell me what you know
You give me all my soul
This is what I say
You little poster child
Singing in my ear
It puts my mind in gear
Let me hear you sing
Give me some action now
Some like I’ve never seen
You make it plain to me
Come on and do your thing
Look what you’ve done
You’ve paved my way…path
I know that it must be right
And we’re on our way

- 11. Why Is A Carrot More Orange Than An Orange
Lyrics
First the world
Then boy then girl
Six days it took in all
In His image he designed us
With no thought of flaw
Now the question of perfection
Lingers in my mind
Why is a carrot more orange than an Orange?
Why are you greener than green?
Why do we sometimes believe
In things we’ve never seen?
Never doubt what it’s about
And you’ll get along fine
But thy seeing the true meaning
Proves you’ve got a mind
My suggestion is inspection of humanity
I see why the ground is lower than the sky
And why sound can penetrate your mind
But why is a carrot oranger than an Orange?
Oranger than an Orange?
Oranger than an Orange?

- 12. Saint Philips Friend
Lyrics
Happiness just came in,
It pierced my skin
Insights of Christmas lights right now.
I’m so deeply in,
For I’m Saint Philips friend
I’ve left my mind and soul behind somehow
But my life means more to me than before
And I’m not afraid to walk out the door
Calling my name doesn’t seem such a chore
So deeply in Saint Philips friend
Look into my eye,
And You’ll realize,
That I’m not handing you a line
Whether right or wrong,
I must go along
Saint Philips friend until the end of time
No handwriting on the wall
tells me to stop it all
But I must be there when my Saint Philip calls
For without him I surely would fall
So deeply in Saint Philips friend
People blush each time I rush
The cry for peace is heard the least
Some day man will understand,
Or he will destroy this land
I found the best way out,
I found what life’s about
Philip taught me not to fear my death
He’s shown me through the maze,
For this I’ll sing his praise
And worship him with my last dying breath
So if you want happiness listen to me
Look only at the things you want to see
life is a joke, and it always will be
So deeply in Saint Philips friend
Saint Philips friend
