Lyrics from "This is Exactly What I Planned"
   

Live in a Dream
You can't live in the future-you can't live in the past
You can't live in a memory-you know you gotta live in a dream
You can't live in a bottle-you can't live in a scene
You can't live underwater-you know you gotta live in a dream
and if you find yourself too cold, get a blanket
and if you find yourself too hot, turn on a fan
You can't live in the highroad-you can't live in a scheme
You can't live in a limousine-you know you gotta live in a dream
Jam
Don't need to talk about my problem-it's gonna be around another day
Don't need to talk about my frame of mind-it's how I find my way
Down this road who knows where I will turn
Who knows the bridges I will cross or the bridges I will burn
I just want to jam
Don't need to wear somebody's costume-so hard to play another part
Don't need someone to tell me my lines-I only play from the heart
Down this road who knows where I will turn
Who knows the bridges I will cross or the bridges I will burn
I just want to jam
I know the dance I dance is funky-it's just the way that I move
I know the talk I talk is for real-I have point that I will prove
Down this road who knows where I will turn
Who knows the bridges I will cross or the bridges I will burn
I just want to jam

Captain's Log
hmmm...
Loosen Up
I'm gonna get me a car-I'm gonna get me a driver-I'm gonna smoke a cigar-I'm gonna find me a rider
Won't you come along with me?
I'm gonna loosen up baby-I'm gonna loosen up right
I'm gonna loosen up baby-I'm gonna loosen up tonight
I'm gonna get a guitar-I'm gonna get me a name-I'm gonna get me a star-on the walk of fame
Won't you come along with me?
I'm gonna loosen up baby-I'm gonna loosen up right
I'm gonna loosen up baby-I'm gonna loosen up tonight
Macho Muchacho
Macho-mucho macho-mucho macho-mucho macho muchacho
Pancake Flippin' Woman
She's my pancake flippin' woman-she treats me like a fool
She's my pancake flippin' woman-she treats me like a fool
Well she takes all my money-but she keeps my belly full
She don't make no country sausage or bacon in a pan
She don't make no country sausage or bacon in a pan
Oh, but when that batter's pourin' I think you'll understand
She's my pancake flippin' woman-she keeps me in my seat
She's my pancake flippin' woman-she keeps me in my seat
'cause the butter starts a-meltin' and the syrup tastes so sweet
Hope
I'm looking all around but I can't find it-when it's coming back, I wish I knew
If I didn't need it so bad I wouldn't mind it-but it's the only thing right now that will pull me through
I gotta find some hope-do you have some to spare-Hope-are you willing to share
gotta find some hope somewhere in this town-'cause I don't know how long I'm gonna be down
The darkness came-no reason why, I know it's bound to happen every now and then
they say that this too is gonna pass me by, but someone needs to tell me when
I gotta find some hope-do you have some to spare-Hope-are you willing to share
gotta find some hope somewhere in this town-'cause I don't know how long I'm gonna be down
I  know one day I'm gonna wake up and the answer will arrive with a ray of light
but until that day I have to wonder how many wrongs are gonna make a right
I gotta find some hope-do you have some to spare-Hope-are you willing to share
gotta find some hope somewhere in this town-'cause I don't know how long I'm gonna be down
Turn to Blue
All the leaves have fallen and blown away-the only things that's calling is a sunny day
Suddenly the clouds are gone, the birds can sing a happy song, suddenly my gray skies turn to blue
You know the night has fallen-no day to seize-the only thing that callin' is a summer breeze
Suddenly the magic's on I wonder why it took so long, suddenly my gray skies turn to blue
All the walls have fallen, no garden gate-the wilderness is callin' I won't be late
Suddenly the clouds are gone-those birds want you to sing along, suddenly my gray skies turn to blue
Pool Party
Pool party!
Fortify
Should you be talking-should you be walking-should you even stand up
Should you be praying-should you be swaying as you drink again from the cup
Did you miss the call-did you take the fall and realize that gold starts to fade
Did you look in their eyes-did you apologize and clean up the mess that you made
Just when you thought you'd seen it all-Just when you thought you'd have to crawl
Nothing is ever black and white-just when you thought you'd never see
I'll fortify you with some information-the kind you thought you'd never know
I'll fortify you with some inspiration-I'll watch your eyes start to glow
I'll fortify you with some information-open the door let me in
I'll fortify you with some inspiration-the kind that comes from within
Do you take a bow-do you take a vow and be someone else's biggest fan
Do you act like a fool-do you play it cool and say to yourself
This is exactly what I planned
Arrive
Don't need to know where I have been-I just need to know where I'm going
I don't know when we'll get there, I'll let you know when we arrive
All directions disappeared-it's not as bad as I had feared
I don't know when we'll get there, I'll let you know when we arrive
Talk the talk, fight the fight-just keep the destination in sight
I don't know when we'll get there, I'll let you know when we arrive
