1.	Papa Wheelie 04:13	lyrics	buy track
Sittin', strummin', soakin' up the gossip swingin' on my Mama's porch I really miss those times. Skinny dippin', we were young, we were never bored What happened to those guys? I'm losin' my marbles, Hey look! Sweetest Bike we ever saw Shifter in the middle, high handle bars, banana seat and a sissy bar Racoon tail, Jack in the spokes and mirrors shaped like stars Papa Wheelie smiled, waved and honked his shiny horn Oh, Papa, Papa Wheelie... Dust and dogs and bare foot kids, runnin' down the street Laughs and screams and banged-up knees, a simple thing a street Down the end, through the pipe and up along the stream The track we made and there we made our dreams Rollin', jumpin', bankin', sweetest track you ever saw Whoopty-doos and big-air skews and wash-boards Grafitti art, a girl's tree-fort and half-pipe for our boards We'd pop-a-wheelie and honk our shiny horns Oh, Papa, Papa Wheelie... Last I saw Ol' Papa, still livin' in that shack Rotten porch, Busted doors, rustuy bike out back We all lit out and 'far's I know, none of us went back But every time I hear a horn, We flyin' on that track Me'n Papa, Papa Wheelie...
2.	Avalanche 04:14	lyrics	buy track
Come on fly down, come on and see me again I know that you feel that we've gotta give up But I say we could just start again Sometimes when we've had a bit too much, it's hard to see where to turn So, light up another and hand me that Scotch, we'll leave our emotions to burn It's gonna come down on us like an avalanche We'll be stuck together in the snow, rip us apart like an avalance And when we appear, from under the snow, maybe we'll know... When we're together, we feel it's the same When we're apart we're together again, so I say Come on break my legs and hand me that crutch so I can learn to walk again When I've learned to walk and I've learned to run, I'll get back in the race But I've got to walk a circle back to where I bagan, so I can look at your face
3.	Here I Am 03:14	lyrics	buy track
Nothing goes the way you thought it would Nothng turns out the way you planned If I'd known, I'd probably have taken another road, but I'm here, so here I am Yesterday, I thought that I would strike out on my own, find out who I am But today, I found myself sittin' on my own, alone, head in my hands Here I am and where are you? You are far away in another land Hear I am and who are you? You're the only one who knows who I am As I rummage through my carpet-bag of memories For something to get me through my day All I find inside is what we used to be I wish that time would hurry up and sweep it all away Yesterday, I thought that I would strike out on my own, find out who I am But today, I found myself sittin' on my own, alone, head in my hands Here I am, I guess thta's where I've gota be for now And with who I am, I know that I will make it through somehow If only I could shake this image of your face I'd know I am well and truly on my way Here I am...

Ritmo del Sol Music & Lyrics by Bones Quiero dar gracias por el ocaso Y las estrellas que bailan en mis ojos En mis suenos siempre sera como esto Todas las noches estaremos juntos Nosotros bailamos a el ritmo, el ritmo del sol Quiero dar gracias por el amanacer Y los colores que forman en mis ojos En nuestros suenos estaremos juntos Todas las noches estaremos juntos Nosotros bailamos a el ritmo, el ritmo del sol Estaremos, estaremos juntos... No puedo creer cuantas cosas pueden cambiar Entre la noche y manana No somos los mismos que fuimos anoche No somos los mismos esta bien Oscura como una cortina cayo' Es un lugar peligroso pero te hace sabio Sentado arriba mi sombra esta bajando Sombra de mi espiritu Espiritu del sol Buscando mi sombra en la oscuridad Espiritu del sol Hay una sombra en la luz Remueve la sombra Dejala ser luz Luz en mi vida. Estaremos, estaremos juntos... Translation: I want to give thanks for the sunset And the stars that dance in my eyes In my dreams, this is how it will always be Every night, we will be together We will dance to the rhythm, the rhythm of the sun I want to give thanks for the sunrise And the colors that form in my eyes In our dreams it will always be like this Every night, we will be together We will dance to the rhythm, the rhythm of the sun We will be, we will be together... I can't believe how many things can change Between the night and the morning We are not the same as we were last night We are not the same but it's all right Darkness like a curtain she falls It's a dangerous place but it makes you strong Perched upon a pinnacle my shadow is below Shadow of my spirit Spirit of the sun I’m searching for my shadow in the dark Spirit of the sun There's a shadow on the light Remove the shadow Let there be light Light in my life We will be. We will be together...

Whisp of cloud, Puzzle cracked earth Blurred vision sees pain through blood-shot eyes Leafless, lifeless, shadeless tree, brazen stands alone Sulken forms its twisted limbs their home Ceremony chants crack the sky, foot pound earth, wake the land Drums run full gallop through shadows of fire Rain come to the plains of the Serengeti Raise your head, throw your arms, let your heels fly Kick up some dust and dervish 'round the fire Raise youe heart open hands, broken spirits fly 'Cause rain has come to the plains of the Serengeti Skin to skin, sacred drum Your heartbeat breathes life into sleeping skies Tribal feet on hallowed groud, together dance alone Twisting forms, this ancient land their home Water falls from thristy leaves, river dance through stone Drops of life that make this land our home

If I start walkin' your way and you walk mine Somewhere, on that fine line, I will share with you what I have left of mine If we're walking our way, and one wants to walk amongst our tribe Somewhere, we'll pour fine wine, forge a bond that won't diminish with time If I had it my way, that's how it would be Though I had nothing to offer You showed me water where they said there would be none, you showed me water I know we can live together, but we both have to try To understand it's a fine line, must be honored by your people and mine Must be honored by your people and mine When we have it our way, that's how it will be If you have nothing to offer We'll show you water wher they said there would be none We'll show you water
7.	Solsbury Hill 04:17	lyrics	buy track
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill, I could see the city lights Wind was blowing, time stood still, eagle flew out of the night He was something to observe, came in close I heard a voice Standing stretching every nerve, had to listen, had no choice I did not believe the information, just had to trust imagination My heart going boom, boom, boom, Son, he said, Grab your things, I've come to take you home. To keep them silenced I resigned, my freinds would think I was a nut Turning water into wine, open doors would soon be shut So I went from day to day, though my life was in a rut 'Till I tought of what I'd say, which connection I should cut I was feeling part of the scenery, I walked right out of the machinery My heart going boom, boom, boom, Son, he said, Grab your things, I've come to take you home. When illusion spin a net, I'm never where I want to be And liberty, she pirouette, when I think that I am free Watch my empty sillouette, who closed their eyes but still could see No one taught them etiquette, I was shown another Me Today I don't need a replacement, I tell them what the smile on my face meant, My heart going boom, boom, boom, Hey, I said, You can keep my things, they've come to take me home.

Sometime's we don't listen, when others cry out loud What was that you say? Oh, never mind We don't often notice, when others go without You and I are not blind, we can see that others suffer Yet what do we do, what do we do? What was tha you say? Oh, never mind Ignore them long enough, they will not go away
10.	Kick It 04:14	lyrics	buy track
I don't know why it had to come down to this They warned me it would be hard But, who'd of guessed so many would be here, hands open wide He said there's five hundred people standing there Who've traveled just as far Then he stood up, pointed with a glare, go take your place in line Hell, I've got time So I go, take my place in line, stand up tall and proud You know the thing 'bout gettin' treated like this I wont let it bring me down And there's one thing that I think you oughtta know My Mama didn't raise no fool Inspiration is hard enough to come by, I'm not gonna be your mule Gonna take my time, run the distance Won't go down, kick it hard

I don't know 'bout the things that led us here I just know, yes I know we can't stay For the beauty that's berfore, will soon be crystal Blowin' hollow cold through the remnants of the day Today Sleep, please descend, this prayer lightly take us From the dawn of twilight, to the break of a new day The animals are blowin' steam, nervous as we pack them Lead them through the notch to where we sell our wears Today is a very big day The barter's harder now and pickins slimmer Still we pack, we must pack and move on River lead us down, guide and safely take us Below the ice-caps to our winter gathering ground Today is a very big day, just one today
