Burma 03:27
In Burma Down Burma road, I crawled My fever would not fall "a chance to see it all" The jungle I fell upon my knees Was stricken with disease Amongst the might trees It seemed forever I was stricken with an illness But forever's not that long It seemed forever I'd be begging for forgiveness Don't forget about it, Someday laugh about it The jungle I'm blistered by the heat Half dead but on my feet I'll sweat these sins from me In Burma I'm half a world away At home I couldn't stay What would Buddha say? It seemed forever I was stricken with an illness But forever's not that long It seemed forever I was begging for forgiveness Don't forget about it, Someday laugh about it It seemed forever I was stricken with an illness But forever's not that long And would rather have been sick in southeast Asia than to be here than to be here safe at home

Cloud 04:37
I drink from cold, clear water I'll live my life like a holiday But now I'm empty-handed The cloud in my head won't go away My heart is truly broken the happiness found will dissipate I learn to paint by numbers and all of my pictures: shades of grey Almost, almost always I need somebody there Just a friend to help me see the picture clear 'cause it's breaking me down by measures and that cloud in my head won't go away If I die, I'll live forever I take a step back, do it again It keeps the planet turning Walk, walk, walk unto no end But now my hands are broken My mind is numbing day by day My sight is slowly fading the cloud in my head won't go away Almost, almost always I need somebody there Just a friend to help me see the picture clear 'cause it's breaking me down by measures and that cloud in my head won't go away "Turn on the charm" be big and brave it "Turn on the charm" learn to take it "Turn on the charm" smile and fake it "Turn on the charm" Someday you'll make that cloud go away

You give me something to something to talk about You are the one the one that I squawk about We're always on the line You're always on the phone Let's get it on right now or leave it, the hell, alone Either you're real or you're just fantasy Either you're real Either you're real or you're just fantasy Either you're real I'm steady most the time You're always up and down throw me a safety line Feel like I'm gonna drown 'Cause I play the fool again just like a stupid kid let's get it on right now or let's just be through with it Either you're real or you're just fantasy Either you're real Either you're real or you're just fantasy Either you're real When it's good, it's good, it's evident Most the time it seems you're heaven sent And your words they heal, heal me like an old guitar Now we just fuss and fight it has become the norm and when I speak my mind, fly right into the storm Why can't it just be like, Like when we first began Timing my time with you down to the second hand Either you're real or you're just fantasy Either you're real Either you're real or you're just fantasy Either you're real

Good Weather 03:04
I had a boner, I shown her We are on cloud nine all the time I had a friend who said to me, "It should be free time all the time" Love is a part of us, yet far from us It is the big dream, the main theme We could have wrote to you, showed to you Just like a nightmare, you'll be scared But as sure as the dawn breaks, this song makes Makes the dark skies turn to blue Feeling together, good weather (apart from the pain) Feeling together (when the sun shines down) Feeling together, good weather (apart from the pain) Feeling together (when the sun shines down) I'll come back to you, girl I'll come back to you I'll come back to you, girl I'll come back to you I'll come back I'll come back I'll come back

Lou Reed 04:36
Summer is cold and wet Life is a chore I can't deal with no more, It is a job that must be met Rain clouds, hanging low Obscure the sky and they block the planes that fly and won't let pleasure flow Make me feel like Lou Reed, except the new breed Just like Lou Reed except the new breed Always the second man Always play a desperate hand Never a place to turn Ready to crash and burn And I feel like an old disguise on a face with the palest eyes And I know what it's taking me to keep life from breaking me Just like Lou Reed, except the new breed Just like Lou Reed, except the new breed A stinging feeling just like breaking bones waiting for her to pick up the phone don't hang your hat, man, you're a rolling stone and it feels, always and forever, you've been all alone Just like Lou Reed, except the new breed Just like Lou Reed, except the new breed
