F#m-Em-Bm
   
Over the summer somehow I'm waiting somehow straining
   
and I gave it all away let my strength slip away kept everyone away
I can't tell you anything
you don't already know 
I can't tell you anything
you don't already know 
I can't tell you anything 
Repeat intro
   
I am the minister and an imposter you said I am on my own
   
but I am not alone you are the militant fighting to bring me home
Name="Ghosts_of_a_different_dream"
11. Ghosts of a Different Dream Intro--A-C#m-D-E
You dreamt of wine but did you find
the dregs of a another night dissipated
I read the sign you know that wine
the ghosts of a different dream are waiting
a different kind of kiss
the songs of a different mist are rolling
IÕve been inside your mist
 
the ghosts of another kissed are calling A-B-C-D-A-C#m-D-E
The troops are led and turning red
they smile with the oldest trumpet blaring
a world of hate, canÕt penetrate
the ghost of a different shield your wearing
a different kind of fight
keep those telephones a ringing
I've been inside alright
the ghosts of a different dream are singing
9. Lord of Overstock
Intro--D-A-G Bb--C
Straight to the Lord of Overstock 
He spoke for the millonth time 
Don't be late for the superdeal will save you alot 
and take every cent you earn 
(no clue what the lyrics are here) 
So trust in the King of Overstock 
invest in his wisdom & learn 
there's less to go around if everyonecounts 
but if you got the money to burn 
then you will be in always get fake 
Bb C rpt to end...   
but what's all worth in heaven on earth
1. Man Called Aerodynamics
Intro: F-Gm-Am-Gm-F (very fast)
find deep within your ole memory coat 
a cricket bag you ate from
its sweet-smily apology 
Acceptance awaits you
Don't be afraid to cherish it 
Dm C Bb (F-Gm-Am)
Look it up in the bookmobile
Look it up in the gun rack 
in the magazine rack
in the map 
for it.. only after the fence comes down 
that the cartoon bubble explodes 
and the new party begins
Dm C Bb F-Gm-Am
invitation only here in the senator's suitcase
Let them out and dance for the ant-god 
like scary magnets to pounce 
upon command  
upon the man 
C Dm C (Rpt intro to end)
the man called aerodynamics
6. To Remake the Young Flyer
To remake the young flyer 
yes, we must define the time desire  
standing erect to not detect the anything
that we could not admire 
Through the long lonely mire (?) 
number one is that the one to send  
?? on the child 
national pride
in my own 
a question to the lunatic 
do your days seem like nights? 
Do your worlds go together 
dash forth (?) 
he takes his place 
he da da da ??
  
takes his softness from his hand and goes
To remake the young flyer 
yes, we must define the time desire   
16. Atom Eyes
opening riff is top 3 strings of C chord to B note and back
I'm dreaming it so it must be true 
Nothing else could look as good as you do 
And so where the rocket goes 
Up to where the astros flow into space
Don't hold me down 
Chorus
Atom Eyes don't worry your brain
Take a break from everyday 
sell the house, the car, the pain
Atom Eyes 
riff, then chords repeat til end
19. Big Boring Wedding
Opening riff (tune top E down to D)

Chords to opening--D--Em--F#m--G
I have entered a shiny new realm 
Of very different and very spoiled world 
Its with great pleasure I introduce myself
To come and thank you for such delicious pie 
repeat opening riff
The irony's sweet bird is paralyzed
With one good finger you try me on for size 
Its hard to imagine that you just want to leave 
With yellow photos pocket sized 
riff again, then start it backwards for the chorus...
Revealing mobility of psychedelic eyes 
Spontaneous and violent but private to the mind 
With no where left to go
Pass the word the chicks are back 
The chicks are back yeah
The chicks are back
The chandelier is spinning shaking  
The vibrachord is already waking 
Pass the word the chicks are back...repeated until fade
21. Drag Days
Opening chords--E--A--F#m--A--B
Drag days are not so bad but move to slow
If I were them I'd want them not to linger so
Now we come to drag days 
Now we come to drag days 
Fake capes baby they're too hard to wear
Put them on and everyone will stare
We have come to drag days 
We have come to drag days 
  
We escape them sometimes and the feeling is different more intensified
  
We escape them within the walls of our fidgety hearts where we hide
Way up and out beyond the factory yards
Up and over the security guards
We have come to drag days 
We have come to drag days 
  
We escape them sometimes and the feeling is different more intensified
  
We escape them within the walls of our fidgety hearts where we hide
They will turn around    
The will turn around X 11    
13. Look At Them

-1-1-1-1-1-------1-1-1-1-1--------1-1-1-1-1------------------
It's crippling
Never really knowing
We're huddling
Where its always nice
Chorus
And plus there is a flame 
a flame that should be hot?
In spite of being small and being still 
Following where ever you will
Back to riff for verse
Look at them
They're sensitive
And they inch out
Oh look at them
Chorus
And plus there is a flame 
a flame that should be hot?
In spite of being small and being still 
Following where ever you will
18. Office Of Hearts
Roll out the pain killers
We'll have a killer wig out 
Sleepy boys don't look 
It's not ????? 
Or a statistical occurrence
Its octopus caveman 
Drinking with the enemy 
He's got a girl on every arm  
He sits down and circulates  
In the office of hearts 
He's case closed middleman 
In the office of hearts he'll steal you away 
A D A F#m twice
He sits down and circulates  
Come feel the softest parts 
In the office of hearts 
repeat 4 times and fade
23. Redmen & Their Wives
Opening---Dm--C--Bb
Roll out of bed 
  
TheyÕre issuing lives for redmen and their wives
Offering hands and twiddling thumbs 
For dreams that never come 
   
Often said you better not look away you'll lose the day
The way I see it
ItÕs already lost  
So then be it 
They say 
They're sharpening knives 
  
And primitive lives for Redmen and their wives
Bread winner and klutz 
And losing it all before the one eye shuts 
Well I see it as paying the price 
Dn=m Bb
Nobody feels it these days
repeat intro
Well I'd like to go 
C Bm(?)
And kiss them away
Well I'd like to know 
C Bm (?)
Another way
Did you notice that
C Bm (?)
They're taking back lives for Redmen just to
Give them time to find the light
And other things that bind with pride 
A killers waking up this time 
To honest gleam and needless pride 
We'll never see it shine 
We'll never find the time 
20. Its Like Soul Man
D--E----D--E A
I never liked you until I took a good look at myself
D--E----D--E
And when I saw you there
I saw the best part of me was your soul
It's like soul man 
It's like soul man 
Crocker's Favorite Song
A--C#m--D--F#m throughout
Everybody's got their hands up high
Everybody should be touching the sky
But you know you never never can go down
So you slow down
And you walk away
She says good morning to you
And you look away
She asks you just what to do
You don't know what to say
But what can be done
And what can be done for you
I'll tell you now
Where will you go
When nothing's laid out for you
Dust Devil (from King Shit)
Don't make promises you can't keep  
I've been hearing them in my sleep  
Think of positive things to feel  
If the disastors are too real  
Tum tum tum tum watch me run  
Tum tum tum tum turn turn turn  
Tum tum tum tum turn your back  
And run wheels in motion 
Watch them burn 
Please go away now
But do return
well the people they look at you  
When the fire spreads show them a room  
Don't a privy of what we've found  
On territorial bowling grounds  
Tum tum tum tum so we go  
Tum tum tum tum long and slow  
So run break the filth up 
All around 
Slowly build up 
And break it down 
Buy me yogurt 
And knock on wood 
They feel big now 
But we feel good 
Wheels in motion 
Watch them burn 
Please go away now
But do return 
Scissors (From King Shit)
All I ever want to have is
She said no sir, just forget it
A time to figure out
Just what's goin' on
Chorus: But it's not a bad thing 
Bm E Bm---E
But it's not a good thing
All my life I've wanted scissors
Not the kind that are so forgiving
Cigar box eraser bits
And that rusty tool
Chorus
Sheetkickers
Cover your eyes
The light is too bright 
Your wise men they tell you lies 
And what's worse 
they curse 
But still
I love the bite
But flies are maybe marked men 
because they're attracted to the light
They realize
The night has come to baptize 
and they will finally realize 
and what's worse 
It hurts 
But still they love the bite 
And I would like to die with you 
I'd like to try but I'm not suicide 
And I would like to kill you 
But that would suit you fine I realize 
And I won't disgrace myself 
By chasing you around to pull you back 
And I will not give in and hit you when 
Before the fight begins and its okay 
E F#m--A
I'm over you
E F#m--A
I'm over you
Cover your eyes
The light is too bright 
E--F#m--B--A repeat to end
Please Freeze Me (From King Shit)
It's her again oh oh 
She's a little disturbed again oh no 
And I'm feeling down again so it goes 
Circling round like trouble and toil
A princess boiling milk
They thought she was a witch
And when they poured it on her
B(14th fret barre chord)
She didn't melt
And I'll bear no guilt
It's her again oh oh 
She's a little disturbed again oh no 
And I'm feeling down again so it goes 
Circling round like the juggler of the stars
The monster of the moon
C# B (14th)
It's happening too soon
F#--B--F#
Long Distance Man (From Sandbox)
He's a long distance man 
and he keeps on going because its not worth blowing
and he does what he can because it not worth losing and
there ain't no choosin
repeat chords throughout
Any other world that you live in
don't believe in second chance
Sell another dream he won't take it
so don't fake it when you dance
Cover up your eyes in these bad times for
the sad times passing years build another tower
for your freedom he don't need them shed no tears.
for the long distance man.....
Indian Was An Angel
Long time comin' to take my hand away
She says nothin' to take the pain away
Somethin' about discussions in the cave
Somethin' about a dream that can't be saved
Chorus: And all the easy faces 
Running out of happy places
Gone to the academy 
And plug each sonic lyre 
Into the navajo amplifier
For us to hear and see 
Chords repeat throughout
Little star went rollin' up the hill
Asked me to come and dance I said I will
There are the days of preparation still
Somethin's gonna happen on that hill
Chorus
And all the summoned graces
Manifest in different places
There for us to see
And little star keeps sayin'
Indian was an angel prayin'
Come and patiently
For us ??also in we??
And save a place for me
