Lyrics
Crossing Over
Let's cross over to the other side
just to find some truth
Let's cross over to the other side
Just for something to do

To see how they make love, see the colour of their blood

Let's cross over to the other side
Where no man has gone before
Let's cross over to the other side
Lets dare to explore

Repeat chorus

Let's cross over to the other side
just to booaloo
Let's cross over to the other side
just for something to do

Repeat chorus

Brand New Feeling
I got a brand new feeling in my head
I got a cool vibration instead
And no one's gonna freak me out
No one's gonna sell me out

I got a brand new feeling in my soul
I got a brand new feeling and it feels like control
And no one's gonna bring me down
No one's gonna put me down

Chorus
ohhhhhohhhohohohohhh
Feels like the first time

I got the light radiation in my mind
I got the Indian Nation flowing down my spine
And no one's gonna freak me out
No one's gonna put me down

Repeat chorus

I got a brand new feeling in my soul
I got a brand new feeling and it feels
Like no one's gonna bring me down
No one's gonna tie me down

Repeat chorus

No Guarantee
You better get your heart broke
You better shed some tears
You better follow your dreams
You better face your fears

You better be a lover
You better take a chance
You better learn to give
You better learn to dance

Chorus
Life don't give no guarantee (3 times)

You got to be a lover
You got to take a chance
You got to learn to give some
You got to learn to dance

You got to feed the soul
you got to feed the fire
You got to keep it funky
Take it higher
Repeat chorus
Repeat first verse
Repeat fourth verse
Repeat chorus

Nothing ventured, nothing gained
And be thankful for it

Erastus
Who's gonna give the next generation hope
Yeh, who's gonna give the next generation hope
The only thing we give is pessimism and a rope

And who's gonna teach the love of learning
Yeh, who's gonna teach the love of learning
When our hand's are tied and our mind's are burning

And who's gonna give the next generation faith
Yeh, who's gonna give the next generation faith
The only thing we preach is suspicion and hate

Who's gonna give the next generation hope
Yeh, who's gonna give the next generation hope
The only thing we give is pessimism and a rope

I Believe
Take a broken man and a snake that hisses
Say a midnight prayer and give away your kisses

Kiss that girl's head, watch what she touches
Drink the holy water and throw away the crutches

Take the Northern Lights and a madman's schism
Shoot them to the moon with your pessimism

Chorus
I believe love will set us free
I believe love will set us free
And I'll kiss you naked body
I believe

Catch a nightingale, douse her in honey
Scream to heaven baby and burn up all your money
Burn up all you money
Burn up all you money
Burn up all your money
BURN'

Got a graduation gown and a fireman's truck
Give away your pity baby and your hard bad luck

Take a vestal virgin, not a cigarette
Keep the sacred fire burn Ing and don't forget

Repeat chorus

100
I know it hurts you
Because the only thing you feel is rejection
I know It hurts you I know it hurts you
because we're Into some heavy possesion
If you only could forget what the big man taught
If you could only forget that he bought and sold you

If you could really love just one
Why can't you love a hundred?

1 know It kills you
'Cause the only thing we are is isolation
I know it kills you
'Cause the only thing we are is degradation
If you could only forget what your mama and papa taught you
If you could only forget that they bought and sold you
if you could really love just one
Why can't you love a hundred? Could you love a hundred?

Good-bye Cruel World
Janie born, lived and died without love
Like many others underneath the sun
Do you really want to be one
Good-bye cruel world

Peter killed himself every day
With his brother's and sister's he would run away
I think it's time For Peter to say
Good-bye cruel world

Chorus
Cause we really don't need it
We really don't need it
Cruel, cruel world

What about broken dreams and broken hearts
Don't forget twists of fate and Cruel words that hurt
And all the bluesmen are getting bluer and bluer
And Mother Nature is becoming a sewer
Good-bye cruel world

Repeat first verse

Good-bye cruel world

James Blood Ulmer
Say waning, say waning all night long
Say freedom, say freedom when your strong
Why do we feel like we do not belong

Say dreamers, say dreamers always sleep
Say freedom, say freedom gently creeps
And why do we feel like we do not belong

And what we do is a shadow of what we want to do

Don't Want To Survive (I Wanna Live)
Their gonna give you bread and milk and tell you that it's everything
They give you flags and dirt and tell you that it's everything
They give you guns and war and tell that it's verything
They give you jail and freedom and tell you that it's everything

Chorus
I don't wanna survive
I don't warn' survive
I wanna live

They give you drugs and money and tell you that It's everything
They give you guns and love and tell you that it's verything
They give you dirt and faith and tell you that It's everything
They give you money and god and tell you that it's everything

Repeat chorus

Purge
Had enough surrendering, surrendering to lies and hate
Had enough of loneliness, crowded with no words to say
Had enough of holy war, had enough religion and hate
Had enough of waiting, time to purge out yesterday

Tomorrow
Kiss me now
Forget tomorrow
Feel this love
wash away the sorrow

Everyday seems harder
Every love seems harder
I see what tomorrow brings

Hold me now
Forget your fate
Feel this love
There's no more hate

Everyday seems harder
Every love seems harder
Every dream seems farther
I see what tomorrow brings

Repeat first verse

Everyday seems harder
Every love seems harder
Every dream seems farther
Day and night is upon
I see what tomorrow brings
