If I were free, yes I could see where the end of the universe is written in a line of verse. If I could fly like an iron butterfly I'd follow the wake of the satellites left among the stars, Flying away to the sun. Talkin'bout the blue artificial satellite, bored of doing the same old tedious plan, gave up, new worlds were waitin' for him! Talkin'bout, talkin'bout the red one, tired of doing always the same transmission plan, knowing that all can be done... THROUGH THE SPACE, SOLITARY SATELLITES FLY STRAIGHT ON TO THE END, NOW THEY'RE FACIN' PLASTIC COSMIC LIGHT AND THE WON'T COME BACK AGAIN! Passin' by the, passi'n by the moon, bumpi' into asteroids (and) losing control, they crumbled into pieces, so blew up, new words were waitin' for them! THROUGH THE SPACE, SOLITARY SATELLITES FLY STRAIGHT ON TO THE END, NOW THEY'RE FACIN' PLASTIC COSMIC LIGHT AND THE WON'T COME BACK AGAIN!

Desert Roam 04:01
I was walkin’ Walkin’ down That dusty road (on my own) And in my mouth There was a blade A blade of straw IN THAT DAZZLING DESERT ROAM I MADE OUT A *WOMAN OLD SAT BESIDE THE SHEPHERD’S HOME All the days She used to stare, to stare at clouds (going by) From far away, suddenly That day she heard She heard a child Who started to cry! THE CHILD WAS BITTEN BY A RATTLESNAKE BUT IT WAS ONLY A FUCKIN’ FAKE OR PROVIDENTIAL MISTAKE Then she moved that way of days of yore An old car crashed into the place she stood before!

Ya Te Veo 04:48
Space seeds from the stars coming from so far, it's a miracle! see this mistyc world that soon will be marred. Shiny shooting sparks glowing in the dark, it's incredible! see how they fall down to Beachwood Park. They will grow up in the morning sun with long teeth and tentacles to clean up this wild world. (Giant shadows rise over my head) They are the only ones who can save us! Something we were waiting for is going on right now, we can feel it, we can see it. They are the only ones who can save us! December 21st 2012, they are Ya Te Veo.

I found this place where you can't feel alone, the pink neon ligh says "Supermarket of Love". You have to go 'round and pick best human parts, put them toghether, then soon, you'll have a new love. Fuzzy electric ice in a cocktail glass vibes, it makes sound when you plug the jack into your head. Everybody seems so happy, everybody is dancing in the air 'cause we are in outher space. The sun is rising,battery is going down, the game is over say goodbye oh darling see you next coin. Fuzzy electric eyes in a cocktail glass vibe, they make sound when you plug the jack into your heart.

Radio waves in the sky today the wind it whispers to surf again, on the sofa leave your guitar and take your board into your car! From Famara to La Santa bay surfin' like you were in LA surfin'till the sun goes down see you later uptown, you look so divine, I wish you were mine you are the star you'll go so far, I know, you know, they know SHE IS A GUN LOADED AND READY TO FIRE HEDONISTIC BULLETS (x2) You walk like a haughty cat like you don't have any regret, something like that, I've never met I'm lost in a mess, she is a gun to my head like a gentle caress. SHE IS A GUN LOADED AND READY TO FIRE HEDONISTIC BULLETS (x2)

The 3rd Eye 03:34
Hey Jack can you see it now? I still have snow in my eyes, I can barely recognize our small town. Yes John there's a hangin' door our feet don't touch the ground Look here, see what I've found the kaleidoscope you were lookin' for WE HAVE TO GET LOST TO FIND THE 3RD EYE IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR MINDS we have to get lost to find the 3rd eye, we are the 3rd eye... Fuck man, it's so hot right now How much did the palm tree suffer to get that tall? And look at the world from up there? Blue honey is drippin' down by the glass of wine shade gettin' longer in the day (the shade) and now it is... INFINITE WE HAVE TO GET LOST TO FIND THE 3RD ON THE TOP, ON THE TOP OF THE HILL WHERE THE LIGHTS ARE ALIVE AND THE LIGHTS... we are the 3rd eye...

All the days She used to stare, to stare at clouds (going by) From far away, suddenly That day she heard She heard a child Who started to cry!

'64 Corvette 04:45
Don't love you and I'll never go back, don't want you gotta get back on track and there no shelter down my way. I'm an empty soul gone ashtray. I was driving my '64 Corvette, it was a night I'll never forget I'm driving, driving so fast and behind me only the past and I'll never have anymore regrets Memories are chasing me, gotta let go cause I wanna be free, dancing trees are dancing in glee oh no... Iggy pop in the radio cassette and I lit another cigarette I'm driving, driving so fast and behind me only the dust I was driving my '64 Corvette Memories are chasing me, gotta let go cause I wanna be free, dancing trees are dancing in glee oh no... (x2) Can you take me home? (x12)

Ther's a clown with a gleaming cown on his curly head hung by a thread to the apple tree but free as a bee. Dressed in gown the clown frowns embittered and sour at the ivory towers of the lost game, of nobody's blame. Follow the spider to the border, don't you linger! Touch the rainbow-coloured water, with your fingers! Piñata clown with his rusty crown cuts the knot of the flaming boat (he) thinks so loudly while silently shoutin' Blinfold with all your power strike the clown, in the air petals of flower will fall down.

Playin' his brother's bass 'till quarter to four, whiskey, gin and grass, going back to hardcore. heard a crystal glass beaking up on the floor, "Buddy move your ass your mom's at the door!" Operation... "Hurry hide your stuff two men are waitin' for you, they look very tough thy're all dressed in blue. Cold shiny handcuffs and bright black shoes, you made a big muff, it could have happened you knew!" Operation "Big Bear" The bear came out of the newspaper making now the real caper It was too late to cover all with the mat something he ate, the rest un-der the hat. He could see the grate and the guard with the bat, it was not the fate there was smell of a rat! Operation "Big Bear"

There's a poet sitting in his room like a lonely knight, a new poem on his head has bloomed that he'll never write, he knows the future nature of his doom ...like every woeful plight. From the window first breath of monsoon blows out the candle light and it dispels all around dense gloom gently and polite, in his eyes reflected ancient loom ...it's so white, it's so bright and it flies so high, so light over great heights. Now the fish gasps at water Sir's face (surface) and the man fills his chest with the magic pipe! When the vision finally has fumed and gone so quiet the tormented soul smiles at the moon, no more time for fights. At the wedding mr hell the groom and miss heaven the bride, so slight so kind and white thru black night. Now the bird flutters over the place and the man puffs his guest on the paper ripe.
