| back to lyrics home 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 Reggie instrumental |
