Ooo I need a love who can dance for me A confident one, my little gypsy Gimme a heart that’s overflowing Baby you get me going Get in, cause I’m moving fast Oh and I meant it, step on the gas, my love Ooo, I need a backseat lover I gotta feel that body taking over me I wanna shake and shudder baby You know my engine’s revving Jut Get in, cause I’m moving fast Oh and I meant it, step on the gas, my love My backseat lover You’re my backseat lover x3 Oh --- Hey, Ho x5 Backseat lover x3

Karma Comet 02:32
lyrics
buy track
She's heartless, and I won't be the same She's putting me to shame, no I can't escape her fate. I'm helpless, so scattered everywhere, but she don't even care, I guess you can't out run her trail Karma, come on Karma’s coming Karma, comet Karma’s calling Karma, come on Karma’s cunning Karma Karma She got me again She hit me, like a ton a bricks But she don’t give a shit, She tore a hole, it went right through me I’m helpless, shattered all to bits But she don’t give a damn She’s coming back around again She got me again She’ll catch you in the end She’s roaring, a flash in outer space Crashing to the Earth And all I do is fall for her I’m burning, through the atmosphere And now I’m drying tears She left a crater in her wake Karma, Karma, Karma Comet

Gremlins 03:44
lyrics

Gremlins, all in my head They’re telling me what they want Darkness bleeds in my brain And I can’t escape these thoughts You want this and I want that. You don’t care, and I can’t help my Fading love, my fading love. X2 Curses, they’re screaming, “Burn down the witch” Cast me away I’m a heretic But I’ve been deep down to the inner planes I’ve slayed the dragon of ID You want this and I want that. You don’t care, and I can’t help my Fading love, my fading love. X2 You want this and I want that. You don’t care, and I can’t help my Fading love, my fading love. X2 You want this and I want that. You don’t care, and I can’t help my Fading love, my fading love. X2

Help Me Heaven 03:38
lyrics
buy track
In the rain, I saw her face Glowing like, the sun against the grey She's the one, worthy of a king A lover's wish, could she fall for peasant man like me I'm so far below her Now I'm crawling through the mud Like a soldier I do just as I am told I’ve got my orders Coughing up blood But she’s so unimpressed And I’m so insecure Yeah I’m a fucking mess If she’s the one, that I can’t have Help me heaven, I need a hand If she’s a gun, then shoot me dead Help me heaven A whole lotta love But none of it for me She chained up my heart And threw away the key But she don’t even know Oh all that I can give She put me through the wash And now I’m spinning I’m in my hideaway Falling down, descending in a cave Am I in hell, I cannot escape I must be in hell Falling down again

Empyrean 03:29
lyrics
buy track
In the fire, Of nothing spark up the chance, of becoming free your inner desire Oh clarity Reckless and wild we laid it all on the line Empyrean Save us from what we’ve become Oh it’s a mess down here in the grave where the battle’s fought I’m in hell Empyrean Carry the torch Willing to dream Hold onto love She’ll keep you safe but we dug trenches Held up our guns Sought Martyrdom Burnt by the sun Empyrean How many wars til we have won? We’re killing our kids for the glory Can you hear our call? Save us all Empyrean Heir to the throne Dumb Kings and Queens Playing with pawns An endless game You say we are the lost But it’s you who’s far gone You’re stuck abusing the sacred fire Of Empyrean Empyrean So much death and it all went wrong Shot in the head now we’re zombies And our heart is lost We need love Empyrean Dying for Empyrean It goes on and on and on and on and on…

Oh slow down girl, go down girl Ketamine I've lost my way Down in the pit Drowning in a well Ketamine I'm losing faith I'm on my knees Praying for a way Ketamine You know what I mean? Ketamine I'm so drowsy Am I asleep? This must be a dream Ketamine My will is weak Your ecstasy Is all that I need Ohhhh Nooo Oh, go slow Slow down girl You know what I need Oh no no no Go down girl You know what I mean I’m the man, I'll do anything When I’m the man, I’ll go anywhere Ketamine Just take the wheel And drive away I can't see a thing Ketamine My need for speed On your haze highway, I'm autobauning

Oh yeah you can’t deny The rush of the intake You with your bloodshot eyes You think that you’re awake You think that you’re awake You say you like the ride You think you know your fate you with your bloodshot eyes you’re missing everything And it’s hard out there when you need a friend Yeah you’re out there lost and alone So build me wall Just to show me you still care Are you trippin on your own? Feeling buried by the world? And it’s hard out there when you need a friend and you’re out there lost and alone You say you like to get high, drunk and half baked you with your bloodshot eyes You think that your awake So build me wall Just to show me you still care Are you trippin on your own? Feeling buried by the world? And it’s hard out there and you need a friend and you’re out there lost and… Lost and alone x2 You say you like to get high, drunk and half baked you with your bloodshot eyes You’re missing everything

When You Lose To Love 04:09
lyrics
buy track
Foiled again You know I've spent too much time Sabotaging Fleeing from my greatness I loved you like You were my whole life But you walked all over me Now I'm running with nowhere to go And it was a bitter fight Losing you and everything When you lose to love When I was bent You know I'd go there to hide Find silence Under those willows I loved her right And we laughed and lived But you left me in the ditch Like a hopeless lost boy And it was a bitter fight Losing you and everything When you lose to love So I'll be in a field of grief Cause you couldn't even see it When you lose the love x4 Up or down Thick or thin I'm in a tailspin Sober up Make the call Phone a friend When your hoping For a truth that isn't there For a proof that isn't clear When you lose to love And you start to feel it jumping but you threw it all away When you lose to love And I wanted you to stay, please don’t let me go When you lose to, when you lose to love Oh but I don’t know the way, please do let me go When you lose to, when you lose to love (And I’m always losing, losing love)

I’m a pit bull in a cage I’m a don’t you mess with me I’m a shadow in the street I’m your destiny And I just thought you should know x3 I’m just doing me Guess I’m just a freak I’m a psychedelic sage Yeah I'm that universe within I’m a coming of age I’m a wistful wind And I just thought you should know x3 I’m so outta sight now And I just thought you should know, I’m feeling alright now I’m a lover in the sheets I’m that everything you need I’m a path that’s within me babe And I will set you free And I just thought you should know x3 Guess I’m just a freak

Everybody Knows 03:18
lyrics
buy track
Caught up Caught up in an ex Caught up in the past What's done is done Dark dawn The sun set before it rose Yeah you know how it goes And the dusk is coming on Old love, oh it's a thing that lasts It’s a backstage pass That you didn't really want And all I thought Was that you hated me Yeah you blocked me then you left And I didn't do nothing wrong. Everybody knows Yeah they have known for a while Love just comes and goes And that's alright child Everybody Knows x2 Just when I feel a old echo I saw a distant road And you just floated in Your ghost Yeah you’re a missing wish But I saw the dissonance And I knew we were moving on You know what you'll get? She'll catch ya in the end You better step back son And go and tell your girl that she will always be the one

Desert Ritual 04:30
lyrics
buy track
Dirty moonshine Give me a drink Desert ritual Has got me got me got me got me In a raging fire It's some kind of crazy Desert ritual Help me help me help me I’m screaming It's a blazing sun And the air is thick Burning my lungs And I can't breathe Gather all your love Grab your talismans Desert Ritual Has got me got me got me got me In the dead of night With the life of day Desert Ritual Round and round and round we keep spinning In the chaos calm Or the realm of gods I'm seeing-saints Like a mirage And if I die today I lived to see your face Just so I could be here For the changing The rearranging I'm a once orb Just holding space in the continuum If you're a wayseer Making your own fate Desert Ritual Has got ya got ya got ya got ya Open all the doors to the higher planes Desert Ritual Tell me Tell me Tell me you feel it
