    Carefree (Mooking)
    Carefree and calling
    That smiling switchin falling
    Fearless and lawless
    Flawless flesh is soreish


    Umeus (Mooking/Lopata/Bellemare)
    Let's do it!
    Let's do it!
    There was you and me and us
    That's what it's about...

    Verse 1:
    Givin' into the feelin' that you givin' me
    Is simply too good to be true
    It's heavenly, it's hell
    Thinkin' about you and me without us
    They doubt us but this life ain't all about us
    In fact, when I've sapped all my energy
    And empty
    The look on your face is life force sent to me
    And to me I'm stuck on you mentally
    It's meant to be darling
    That's all
    It's meant to be

    Chorus:
    Hey!
    So when you come along with me
    It's only good for us
    Let's go on a journey
    Never lonely when we trust
    Hey!
    How I love you me us
    How I love you me us
    We should never worry about the things they say about us

    Verse 2:
    Now you remember that night
    I remember that night
    I won't forget see
    Stars shine like a torch
    From the back porch
    Remember that night like it was last night
    Just when it passed light
    When we made sparks
    Caught gamblin'
    Like we were loan sharks
    Slippin' and glistenin'
    No one is listenin'
    Turnin' and twistin'
    Like babies at a christening
    I hear them sussupin'
    Sounds like whisper when
    I feel a brush on my neck
    My spine tinglin'

    Chorus:
    Hey!
    So when you come along with me
    It's only good for us
    Let's go on a journey
    Never lonely when we trust
    Hey!
    How I love you me us
    How I love you me us
    And we should never worry about the things they say about us

    Bridge:
    Every day has got to be fine
    When it's just us
    Then lovin' is blind
    Every day has got to be fine
    When it's just us
    Then lovin' is blind
    'Cuz when you send your sugar this way
    That's when I start run run runnin' away
    Run run run run runnin' away

    Chorus:
    Hey!
    So when you come along with me
    It's only good for us
    Let's go on a journey
    Never lonely when we trust
    Hey!
    How I love you me us
    How I love you me us
    How I love you me us
    And we should never worry about the things they say about us


    Sittin' (Cropper/Redding/Mooking/Lopata)
    Sittin' at the dock of the bay
    Watching the tide roll away
    Sittin' on the dock of the bay
    Wasting time

    Sittin' at the dock of the bay
    Watching the tide roll away
    Sittin' on the dock of the bay
    Wasting time

    Verse 1:
    Lemme tell you 'bout this friend of mine
    Love to think that they love is blind
    Love the glam love the show
    See, love designer things
    And they love the dough
    Love movin' up don't love the hill
    Love the chase and they love the kill
    Phone always ringin' come to love the sound
    Hate hangers on
    But love hangin' around
    I try to tell them that these things will pass
    Pay attention to the things that last
    When the good times move and flash
    All your fake friends come to make the dash
    Runnin' around and your days are fill
    Nowadays I just love to chill
    Heads in the clouds but I love the floor
    Love peace before now I love it more

    Chorus:
    Sittin' at the dock of the bay
    Watching the tide roll away
    Sittin' on the dock of the bay
    Wasting time

    Verse 2:
    See, in simple things there's magic there
    David Blaine just can't compare
    That other dude looks so unique
    Screamin' about how his mind can freak
    Life is filled with illusionists
    The funny thing the illusion is
    More is better
    We're abusing it
    Now we see where the confusion hit
    Negative news and the blues can hit
    Relative ease and I'm oozin' it
    Life in control and I'm cruisin' it
    Makin' a buck while they're boozin' it
    Marry Lady Luck and they losin' it
    Tell 'em don't but they do's in it
    Heads in the clouds but I love the floor
    Love peace before now I love it more

    Chorus:
    Sittin' at the dock of the bay
    Watching the tide roll away
    Sittin' on the dock of the bay
    Wasting time

    Verse 3:
    Looks like nothing's gonna change
    Everything still remains the same
    I can't do what ten people tell me to do
    So I guess I'll remain the same

    Sittin' in the morning
    Sittin' in the morning
    Sittin' in the morning sun

    Chorus:
    Sittin' at the dock of the bay
    Watching the tide roll away
    Sittin' on the dock of the bay
    Wasting time

    Sittin' at the dock of the bay
    Watching the tide roll away
    Sittin' on the dock of the bay
    Wasting time


    Tinglin' (Mooking/Wong/Gallivan)
    Verse 1:
    Tinglin' sun rush awake me
    Minglin' breezes sedate me
    Finally made it home
    Quiverin' the rain cloud it hate me
    Shiverin' threatening lately
    Colours finally show
    Their askin' about the fall again
    Faster watch it all at play
    Passin' you by will be my
    My only freedom

    Chorus:
    While I fold it all over inside my head
    I'm headed home it's alright
    Wasted days wasted lives
    Those seeds they could've grown
    Instead we joke around
    While soaking up the sun just for fun
    Feel the skin it minglin' with breeze
    As we run we're tinglin'

    Verse 2:
    Lingerin' fake smiles XXX
    Bring it in takin' it lately
    Suppose I should've known
    Givin' in simply too easy
    Livin' in these moments that squeeze me
    Finally take me home
    Asking about the fall again
    Faster watch it all at play
    Passin' you by will be my
    My only freedom (Freedom!)

    Chorus:
    While I roll it all over inside my head
    I'm headed home it's alright
    Wasted days wasted lives
    Those seed they could've grown
    And since I stare we joke around
    While soaking up the sun just for fun
    Feel the skin it minglin' with breeze
    As we run we're tinglin'

    Bridge:
    Tinglin Tinglin x 4

    Chorus:
    While I roll it all over inside my head
    I'm headed home it's alright
    Wasted days wasted lives
    Those seed they could've grown
    And since I stare we joke around
    While soaking up the sun just for fun
    Feel the skin it minglin' with breeze
    As we run we're tinglin'


    Why Oh Why (Mooking/Lopata/Kanakis)
    Verse 1:
    I was standing on the corner
    I was thinking of your face
    Wondering if you were the one
    I was feeling outta place
    The situation had no signs
    We were walking thinner lines
    The moments that we shared were real
    Dreaming of your body under mine

    Chorus:
    Sayin'
    Why oh why oh why
    It had to be this way
    I say
    Why oh why oh why
    You had to run away

    Verse 2:
    There were lonely days and sleepless nights
    Writhin' on the floor
    Saw the sun go up the sun come down
    Still we begged for more
    I sang to you like a lullaby
    You listened with your eyes
    There were no other lovers on the planet
    But you and I

    Chorus:
    Sayin'
    Why oh why oh why
    It had to be this way
    I say
    Why oh why oh why
    You had to run away

    Why oh why oh why
    It had to be this way
    I say
    Why oh why oh why
    You had to run away

    Why oh why oh why
    It had to be this way
    I say
    Why oh why oh why
    You had to run away

    Why oh why oh why
    It had to be this way
    I say
    Why oh why oh why
    You had to run away

    Like no other times
    Like no other days


    Champagne Dreamin' (Mooking/Lopata/Crochetiere)
    Intro:
    Hmmm! Ooooh!
    (Sippin' champagne and dreamin' about you)

    Verse 1:
    You're so Moet and Chandon
    Bubbly and trouble as time past
    Time has made a mark on a man
    Sparkin' automatic
    Clinging like static I gotta bounce
    But I wanna pounce
    I'm like a cheetah on the Savannah
    Slow and steady in the cabana
    I've been watchin' and man
    I Love the way you eat that banana
    Let's make some music together mama
    It's bounce to be a banger
    Let's get together and hang out
    Open your voice and let that thing out
    So just sang out

    Chorus:
    Let's forget all the rest
    Just champagne dreamin'
    Tipsy, sip me
    You'll never fill up
    Love is all you need
    Never give up

    Let's forget all the rest
    Just champagne dreamin'
    Got this feeling
    I'm on my way up
    Love is all you need
    Never give up

    Verse 2:
    You're so Veuve Cliquot
    Your man think he Suave Rico
    Now, did I mention about your man
    And how I saw him prancin' about
    Had a champagne cocktail at Nyood and knew
    That you would fly off the handle at his mandible
    If you caught him man-handling
    That broad's mandolin
    It's a scandlin' and its brewing
    Caught him while pursuing
    Kick him to the curb
    For the scandlin'
    But be nice, Baby
    Give him a cup for pan-handling
    It only makes sense
    Now let him make dollars
    Let's make music, make some noise
    And make em holla holla

    Chorus:
    Let's forget all the rest
    Just champagne dreamin'
    Tipsy, sip me
    You'll never fill up
    Love is all you need
    Never give up

    Let's forget all the rest
    Just champagne dreamin'
    Got this feeling
    I'm on my way up
    Love is all you need
    Never give up

    Bridge:
    Love is all you need
    Oooh
    You're the one I need
    Love is all you need
    Oooh
    You see, Yeah you sparkling
    You sparkling and champagne dreamin'

    Chorus:
    Let's forget all the rest
    Just champagne dreamin'
    Tipsy, sip me
    You'll never fill up
    Love is all you need
    Never give up

    Let's forget all the rest
    Just champagne dreamin'
    Got this feeling
    I'm on my way up
    Love is all you need
    Never give up

    Let's forget all the rest
    Just champagne dreamin'
    Tipsy, sip me
    You'll never fill up
    Love is all you need
    Never give up

    Let's forget all the rest
    Just champagne dreamin'
    Got this feeling
    I'm on my way up
    Love is all you need
    Never give up


    Medicine (Mooking/Wong/Gallivan)
    Verse 1:
    I see your face
    Is smilin' like it never has before
    The kind of love you lookin' for
    It's not that simple it seems
    The way it happens in
    Dreams can disappear and go away
    Some say a conversation is a string
    Of useless words in useful situations
    I caught you wearing a mask
    But when I ask you
    Tell me it's a thing of the past
    What is that

    Chorus:
    I want that medicine
    To heal me another day
    When I bring you to my lips
    Gonna make you come
    My way

    I want that medicine
    So peacefully I lay
    When you pick me off the floor
    I ask for more
    Again
    Again
    Again
    Again

    Verse 2:
    When I find you comin' around the corner
    Lookin' like you switchin' all over the town
    I gotta run
    It's not that you were the one and only one
    It's that you smile on my world
    Just like the sun
    Just can't dream of another so
    What ever goes
    Comes as easy again
    No way to win

    Verse 3:
    Losers are forgotten
    Jealousy turned rotten
    Like the super soaked cotton
    With a bitter taste like possum
    A bit of space will erase
    That negative
    In the face of adversity
    You never know how ill a verse could be
    Send it back to begins
    Like in the nursery
    How much worse it could be
    Left to see
    Now you cursin' me

    Chorus:
    I want that medicine
    To heal me another day
    When I bring you to my lips
    Gonna make you come
    My way

    I want that medicine
    So peacefully I lay
    When you pick me off the floor
    I ask for more
    Again
    Again
    Again
    Again
    Again
    Again
    Again
    Again

    Staring at a stranger
    With familiar eyes
    Got that confident stare
    Leave me mesmerized
    And I've been searchin'
    Ooh but I can't find
    That special medicine
    To keep me satisfied
    Again
    Again
    Again
    Again
    Again
    Again
    Again
    Again


    I Wish I Could Find You Diamonds (Mooking/Wong)
    Verse 1:
    Poor boy in paradise
    And he's wonderin' how
    And if he's gonna make it through
    Seeking sparkly things
    Rich man in paradise
    With platinum and gold
    Flourishing, livin' the life
    Seeking sparkly things

    Opposite worlds it seems
    Meeting seems strange between
    Set in stone
    Sparkling

    Chorus:
    I wish I could find you diamonds
    To add onto your shining
    Colours fading and it's blinding
    I wish I could find you diamonds

    Verse 2:
    Black boy in paradise
    With sweat on his brow
    Blacker in coal and blue
    Seeking sparkly things
    White woman in paradise
    In a wonderful life
    Whiter than lilies in bloom
    Seeking sparkly things

    Opposite world it seems
    Meeting seems strange between
    Set in stone
    Sparkling

    Chorus:
    I wish I could find you diamonds
    To add onto your shining
    Colours fading and it's blinding
    I wish I could find you diamonds

    Oooh
    I wish I could find you
    I said I wish I could find you
    I wish I could find you

    Chorus:
    I wish I could find you diamonds
    To add onto your shining
    Colours fading and it's blinding
    I wish I could find you diamonds

    Outro:
    I wish I could
    I wish I could
    I wish I could
    I wish I could
    I wish I could
    I wish I could

    I wish I could find you diamonds
    Find you diamonds
    I wish I could find you
    Find you diamonds
    Find you diamonds


    Angels Dust (Mooking/Wong)
    Verse 1:
    When the lights fall
    Candle flames fly around
    Then I saw you
    And you were sitting on a cloud

    Chorus:
    I sent for your sorrow
    To find me in the pain
    I said I still want you
    So I can feel it fall away

    Verse 2:
    Silent angel
    Come creep with me today
    Settle yourself
    Come show me all your grace
    I felt so part of something
    I find your tender taste
    You lift my spirits so high
    So high I'll never waste
    When its all silver clouds and rain
    I run outside to play
    The colours running down the frame
    And it's dancing as it stains

    Chorus:
    I sent for your sorrow
    To find me in a pain
    (That's when you come around)
    I said I still want you
    So I can feel it fall away
    I can feel it fall away

    Chorus:
    I sent for your sorrow
    To find me in a pain
    I said I still want you
    I feel it fall away
    I said I feel it fall away
    And I feel it fall


    Sun'll Come Up Tomorrow (Mooking/Wong)
    Verse 1:
    Feel the kick when you rock me
    Now I'm knock kneed
    You're always dropping a bomb
    You're so shocklee
    Tryin' to do my best
    Shock G
    And get a humpty hump
    Or something
    My bumper bumpin'
    A Bumpa bump bump
    My chest is thumpin'
    The blood pressure is swelling
    I feel it pumping
    There's a rock and a harder place
    I hope we get stuck together in a hard embrace

    A Nod or wink man
    It's hard to think man
    When the champagne and lace is clinkin'
    Plus I love it when you take me over the brink
    I go blind for a second and think

    Chorus:
    The sun'll come up tomorrow
    The sun'll come up tomorrow
    The sun'll come up tomorrow
    I've been thinking about tonight

    My heart goes...
    The sun'll come...
    Tomorrow I'm...
    I'm dreamin' about tonight

    Verse 2:
    Let me show you
    Let me show you what I'm thinkin'
    See check it
    I got a trick up my sleeve
    But I need you
    You so hungry for love
    So let me feed you
    Take it back to the roots
    Like the Seed 2.0
    I don't ask for much
    But I much prefer a touch of your interference
    I read you inside out
    I find out
    It's a long hot summer
    It's hot you picked me
    So get the honey get it
    Hot and sticky
    All in your crevices
    All in your beverages
    Callin' out for whatever whatever ever is
    I'm like a nemesis under your skin
    I'll make you a Pegasus and give you the wings

    Chorus:
    The sun'll come up tomorrow
    The sun'll come up tomorrow
    The sun'll come up tomorrow
    I've been thinking about tonight
    My heart goes...
    The sun'll come...
    Tomorrow I'm...
    I'm dreamin' about tonight

    Free yourself
    Free yourself man
    It's all in your mind
    It's all in your mind see

    Verse 3:
    You're walkin' a very thin line
    Talkin' a very good game
    You're playin' a role
    You're an actor, or an actress
    Stage on a mattress
    But the fact is it's all in your mind
    Playin a game and its all intertwined
    Seen it before but it looks the same
    It's like blamin' the fire when the cook's to blames

    Chorus:
    The sun'll come up tomorrow
    The sun'll come up tomorrow
    The sun'll come up tomorrow
    I've been thinking about tonight

    Tomorrow I'm...
    I'm dreamin' about tonight

    The sun'll come up tomorrow
    The sun'll come up tomorrow
    The sun'll come up tomorrow
    I've been thinking about tonight

    My heart goes...
    The sun'll come...
    Tomorrow I'm...
    I'm dreamin' about tonight


    We Don't Need No More (Mooking/Injeti)
    Chorus:
    If not in the name of love
    There would not be a way
    Is it all about yourself
    Is the price that we gotta pay
    We don't need no more of that
    We don't need no more of that

    Verse 1:
    I'm tryin' to find the closest thing to loyalty
    You in the midst of the gist of things plus royalty
    You appealin so what's with this concealin'
    What about talkin' im talkin' more revealin'
    Time is tickin' stealin' subtle glances
    Stickin' with the coy smile the subtle dances
    Your stance is feeble
    More than you can chew
    You're playin' proper but the proper thing to do
    Is wear your heart on your shirt sleeve
    Starched is stiffer than a marching band
    It hurts me
    Truth is life is sweeter than desserts be
    I know your state of mind
    Well it irks me, it irks me
    What lurks be
    'Neath the surface on earth is a higher purpose
    Sensitive but when youre rubbin cents its worthless
    Open wounds rubbin' alcohol stingin' light
    Get on my knees pray the maker bring the light
    And make him shine it bright
    I'm talkin' flooding lights
    I'm talkin' flooding lights

    Chorus:
    If not in the name of love
    There would not be a way
    Is it all about yourself
    Is the price that we gotta pay
    We don't need no more of that
    We don't need no more of that

    Verse 2:
    Pure selfishness feeds struggle and strife
    Over here we're jugglin' life
    At times it's more like we're jugglin' knives
    Ya vain so feel what ya jugular like
    That's why I tug on the mic
    Everybody knows a drug that they like
    It's like luggin' a train with a bike
    When it gets better
    Feels like you huggin' a psyche
    Ten fingers in the wall steady pluggin' the dyke
    That's when the head fills and the dread fills
    Mind racin' it's NASCAR
    You a fast car
    On top of it all you're the last car
    Scratchin' and grabbin' for the crashbar
    Situations gonna revolve
    Problems find a way to resolve
    So surrender, surrender the call
    So surrender, it's a very long fall
    So surrender, surrender the call
    So surrender, it's a very long fall

    Chorus:
    If not in the name of love
    There would not be a way
    Is it all about yourself
    Is the price that we gotta pay
    We don't need no more of that
    We don't need no more of that

    If not in the name of love
    There would not be a way
    Is it all about yourself
    Is the price that we gotta pay
    We don't need no more of that
    We don't need no more of that

    We don't need no more of that
    We don't need no more of that

    We don't need no more of that
