2.Time to Start

Its time to start
Rock concert movement number one
The basic head bob
Ready go

Rock concert movement number two
The one armed fist pump
Ready go

In a moment it will be time to execute rock concert movement
number three
The up and down jumping motion
Here are your instructions
Step one bend your knees and then jump into the air
Step two let gravity bring you back down
And upon landing rock your head foreward
Step three repeat it ready go

Its time to start

Rock concert movement number four the behind the head leg
stretch
Ready go


3.Sing Along

If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
(scat singing)

If I tell you I'm strong, will you play along?
If I tell you I'm strong, will you play along?
If I tell you I'm strong, will you play along?
Or will you see I'm as insecure as anybody else?
It's like this
(scat singing)

If I follow along, does it mean I belong?
If I follow along, does it mean I belong?
If I follow along, does it mean I belong?
Or will I keep on feeling different from everybody else?
Right here
(scat singing)

If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
If I sing a song, will you sing along?
Or should I just keep singing right here by myself?


4.Up to the Roof

All I see is not for me.
What I want you have not got.

Tried to use things you sold me, no matter what the cost
Tried to go the way you told me, but each time, I got lost
The stairs didn't lead me anywhere!

I'm taking the fire escape up to the roof.
Don't care if it's not the way you find the truth.
Time to make this right: to rise above.

This room and all of you
Who say I should do like you would

Tried to live the life you sold me, no matter what the cost.
Tried to walk the way you told me, but each time I got lost
The stairs didn't lead me anywhere!

I'm taking the fire escape up to the roof.
Don't care if it's not the way you find the truth
And when I get up that high, I don't know what I'll find
But I'd rather look at the sky than wonder why I let you take my
time
Time to make this right: to rise above.

I'm taking the fire escape up to the roof.
Don't care if it's not the way you find the truth
And when I get up that high, I don't know what I'll find
But I'd rather look at the sky than wonder why I let you take my
time.
Time to make this right: to rise above.
Time to make this right: to rise above


5.Your Attention

Your attention, Please. Please yell if you are paying attention
*AHH!*

Please yell if you are paying attention *AHH!*

(voice on the left)
place your attention entirely on my voice. try to ignore all the
others. it is important to be able to focus on a single source
of information, while blocking out all the other things that are
competing for your attention.

(voice on the right)
Place your attention mine of all the voices in this section.
stop listening to my voice now. move on to one of the other
voices before it's too late. If you're still listening to my
voice...

(voice in the middle- i cant concentrate that well)

Your attention, Please. Please yell if you are paying attention
*AHH!*
Please yell *AHH!*
Please yell

*AHH!*

Your attention, Please.


6.Persona

Every morning, I put it on
I walk outside, and I am gone
And I don't seem to mind anymore
I can't think what it was like before I wore it all the time

Oh, oh, oh

In the evening, I take it off
But there's another one underneath
And I can't seem to find the bottom of the stack
I might just lose my mind and never get it back
But at least I'll get inside

Oh, oh, oh

At least I'll get inside

Oh, oh, oh, oh

There's a feeling that I get sometimes
It's so small that it's easy to hide
It's like a howling voice from a distant past
It seems I've got no choice when it comes to this
It's building up inside

Oh, oh, oh

It's building up inside

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Instrumental


8.White Rabbit

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all.
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall.

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call.
Call Alice
When she was just small.

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow.
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know.

When logic and proportion
Have fallen softly dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's 'off with her head!'
Remember what the dormouse said:
'Feed your head. Feed your head.'


9.The Current

Going down, going down
Down where my breath is the only sound
Going down

Going down, going down,
Don't look for me now--I'm not around
All day long, I'm underground

And I've been thinking about the future
I've been waiting for the day
Let the current carry me far away
Let the current carry me away

Current flows, but I don't know where it goes
I don't care, I just get it there
Took this job cause I needed one
Now it's seven years since I've seen the sun
All day long, I'm underground

And I've been thinking about the future
I've been waiting for the day
Let the current carry me far away
Let the current carry me away

And I've been thinking about the future
I hope some day I'll get away
But the current keeps bringing me back around
Seems the only place for me is underground
So tomorrow, when the sun comes up, I'll be going down
Going down.


10.Shadows, Pt. 2

Sometimes my shadow leads
or it follows me
but we never seem
to become one (and the same)


One and the same
One and the same
One and the same...


11.What Is Rock

number one

I don't know...

number two

Where to go...

Rock concert movement number three. Ready, go.

I close the door, I find a chair, I sing
The music's started; I try not to think
About how long it's been, and I'll get along
While the song is on, I get along

I don't know
Where to go
So I guess I'll stay right here.

Rock concert movement number three. Ready, go.

I'm at the club, I'm in the crowd alone.
I'm waiting for the music to come on
'Cause once the song's begun, the group is one,
And once the song is done, the group is gone.

That two-beat pattern is in every rock-and-roll-number!

I don't know...

Rock concert movement number six: Two-armed upward thrust with
yell.
Ready, go. *HEY!*
Again. *HEY!*

I'm at the club, I'm in the crowd alone.
I'm waiting for the music to come up
Cause once the song's begun the group is one,
And once the song is done, the group is gone, the group is gone,
the group is gone.

Number six. *HEY!*
Number six. *HEY!*
Number six. *HEY!*

I don't know
Where to go

So I guess I'll stay right here

I close the door, I find a chair, I sing
The music's started; I try not to think
About how long it's been and I'll get along
While the song is on, I get along.

I'm at the club, I'm in the crowd all alone.
I'm waiting for the music to come on
Cause once the song's begun, the group is one,
And once the song is done, the group is gone.


12.The Complex

I work on the highest floor
There's nothing in my way
But I saw my picture on the bathroom door today
I don't feel like working anymore, is that okay?

I'm so far in, I can't get out
So far in, I can't get out
So far in, I can't get out

I made it to the highest floor
By working every day
But I can't remember anymore what it was like to play
If I could only find the exit door, I'd run away

I'm so far in, I can't get out
So far in, I can't get out
So far in, I can't get out

Can't get out
Get out

Gotta get up, gotta get up, gotta get up and go
Gotta get up, gotta get up, gotta get up and go

Gotta get up, gotta get up, gotta get up and go

Gotta get up, gotta get up, gotta get up and go


13.I Feel Love

Ooooh It's so good...
Ooooh I'm in love...
Ooooh I feel love...
I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
Ooooh Fallinfree...
Ooooh You and me...
Ooooh I feel love...
I feel love
I feel love
I feel love
Ooooh I'll get you...(I'll get you)
Ooooh what you do...
Ooooh I feel love...
I feel love
I feel love
I feel love...etc...
