Welcoming the sunrise, warming my face
Stretching in the morning light
And it overtakes me
Watching light and sound co-habitate
Drifting down the inner state
The int'resting state to be in
But we will see what's on the other side
Taking a fantastic ride
Look outside
It's all alive, alive
The sun is melting
It's not an illusion
When clouds conspire
To create confusion
If words were weapons
We'd all be dead
So drop your defenses and hang your head
You can bar your windows
You can block your eyes
But the sun will find it's way inside
Everywhere and everything
Comes into view
The sun is melting
It's not an illusion
When clouds conspire
To create confusion
If words were weapons
We'd all be dying
So put on your wings girl and lets go flying
Break it all into a million more pieces
The sun is melting
It's not an illusion
When clouds conspire
To create confusion
If words were weapons
We'd all be dying
So put on your wings girl and let's go flying
The sun is melting
It's not an illusion
When clouds conspire
To create confusion
If words were weapons
We'd all be dying
So put on your wings girl and let's go flying
Oooh Blueridge Parkway
Oooh Blueridge Parkway

Success!
Little tiny houses
Great big TV's
Little tiny houses
Great big TV's
Little tiny houses and uh
Great big TV's
Little tiny houses
Great big TV's
Walk down any lonely street
Built on people's broken dreams
Circuits and 'lectricity and lies and lies and lies
Walk down any lonely street
Built on people's hopeless needs
Lies and lies and lies
Lies
Lies
What through that window do I see
But a window staring back at me
Birds fly and doggies bark
Everyone sits in the dark
And lies, lies, listens to lies
Little tiny houses
Great big TV's
Wake up and smell the coffee
And read the morning news
Ten million people tuning in to lies, to lies, to lies
Little tiny houses
Great big TV's
Built in to your walls to fill the resonating need
Little tiny houses
Great big TV's
Breathe it all in
I think I'll breathe it right in
What do we watch tonight?
A movie or a fight?
I want to make them all bleed
Bleed for me, bleed for me
Little tiny houses
Great big TV's
Little tiny houses
Great big TV's
Little tiny houses
Great big TV's
Little tiny, little tiny, little tiny
Great big TV's
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
They're watching the eye that lies
Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
They're one with the eye that lies
Great big TV's
Ommmmmmmmmmmm

That face
That mouth
That miracle
That sex
That lie
That dollar bill
Teetering on the brink
Plunging headlong into the drink
Icy cold but sinking fast
Images of murdered past
That face
That mouth
That miracle
That sex
That lie
That dollar bill
Dominoes clicking through your mind
Clawing upward the toothy climb
Burning cities with just one wave
Universes become enslaved
Leaders pointing fingers high
Drinking blood and apple pie
Trojan horses and open sky
Screaming warbirds and rolling lies
That face
That mouth
I think the whole damn thing is chronically inflamed
It's bleeding and it's red and it can't be saved
Dig a hole and crawl inside
Whistling bullets and pouring eyes
Running madly mothers cries
Another broken soldier dies
Politicians never cheat
Another stacked deck hand to beat
The night has eyes and properties
Beyond the realms of sanity
And soaking wounds that never heal
All open up to claim their meal
As demon forces in their oval lair
Get fat and rich and loose their hair
And loose their hair
That face
That mouth
That dollar bill
That sex
That lie
Dollar bill
Dollar bill
I can see all of this woven
Woven into the fabric of everything
Everything they teach you is a lie
Everything that's written down is a lie
The only truth is right now
Its all a lie
The whole thing is inflamed
And everyone is to blame
Now is the time
Now is the time
Now is the time
Now is the time
