Sukhumvit 71: Song 1 Future Delivers
Verse 1
Freedom may come
And freedom may go
You’re out of your luck
Cause you're not in control, But
CHORUS
The future, delivers, a way out, from human
Verse 2
There seems to me
Possibilities
We’re endless and free
But we pay the price
CHORUS
The future, direction, is way out, of human
The future, direction, is way out, of human
Verse 3
There seems to be
Something inside me
With leathery hands
It lays down the plan
Verse 4
There seems to be
Something inside me
With leather hands
It lays down the plan
Deep inside me
It frees me from strife
I'm magically gone
Dissolved into life
CHORUS
The future, direction, is way out, of human
The future direction, I never was, human
The future direction, there never was a future
There never was a human, just ima....gination

Sukhumvit 71: Song 4 Mice in Parachutes
V1
Here comes the bride
And her lover in the dark
With two atom bombs that throb
In their wedding they will die
With two words that touch the sky
Take your lover down the aisle
Two emerald words, are they a lie?
Look inside, just look inside
You know when you lie
V2
A pink lie
A red lie
A purple lie
...Justified
I don’t live in the sky
...Anymore
V3
Victory’s night a boundless view
You are free when free is you
When you see you must relax
There’s no reason to pay God’s tax
We’re here to burn our candles out
Throw your arms in the air and live with joy x4
Live with joy...
Just like Mice in Parachutes, through the air
Live with joy...
Live with joy...
Like Mike Parachutes, floating through the air

Sukhumvit 71: Song 2 I can be the light
Verse 1
When I look back on my life I see my own coattails
When I look back on me I see fantastic vapor trails
And I see that I wouldn’t have done it any other way
Even when I see tears mixed in with the loveliness
Can’t believe it, it’s in front of our eyes
Is this it now, inside of my sky?
CHORUS
And I can be the light
I can be the light
Verse 2
As the sun sets on you do you see pink and orange?
Do you see flames that jump and dance with the whispering winds?
Can you see the sparks flutter right up to the milky way?
Do they make constellations so new in my mind?
Can’t believe it, it’s in front of our eyes.
Look straight in now, straight into your sky.
CHORUS
I can be the light
I can be the light
Verse 3
Can I will to see nothing but beauty before me?
Can I quiet my mind so it whispers gently?
Though we look out and see nothing but sorrow
I will enquire within and destroy my mind
Can’t believe it, is it in front of my eyes
Is this it now, inside of my sky
.
CHORUS
And I can be the light
I can be the light

Sukhumvit 71: Song 5 Molten Hands
You never know
I will never know
If I had to choose two things
I’d massacre a field of grass
Beneath the carpet of your thoughts
I’d lie awake
I’d farm cold metal
With my molten hands
And a wooden head below
The wooden head talks to me
It smiles askew of me
And takes me to wood land
And crushes my right hand
We laugh and he winks at me
I’m talking to woodman
Soft cut pine deltoids
Marble eyes made of black and white paisley dreams
I follow him hand in hand
To a world of dreams
Fall in, dizzy and hollow
Floating tree in the sky
Lightning rips through
The wind ripples through
Waves of energy gently fluttering my
Physical being
Head tilts back
Tab on tongue
Statically shimmering
Colors flashing and pulsating
Melting

Chorus

Sukhumvit 71: Song 7 Sukhumvit Jet Sip Et
Verse 1
A crazy girl afar
I wrote with your guitar
You taught me how to order
Bah mee moo dang
how much prik pon, prik nam pla
how much nam som and nam tan
My crazy girl afar x4
Verse 2
But you had diamonds in your sites
So no future for us
And I was crazy too
These 2 albums are for you
Cauz I wrote with your guitar
In my room so really stark
I went crazy for awhile
Lightin’ cigarettes thru the night
At Sukhumvit 71, Sukhumvit jet-sip-et x3
Interlude
In my room on the 3rd floor
Nobody else up here
I was all alone
Goin’ crazy ran out of phone
Freakin’ in the day
With the kids at Ekamai
Then we met at Delaney’s
With Kate, Poo, Pook, and tukta
My first friends in the land of smiles
You’re the first crazy one I met
Like me a musician and a head-case
We tried it for awhile... But something went awry x3 I said something went awry
---
Verse 3
Then you brought me your guitar
Sang Thai country songs to me
Silky voice and smile
It warmed my heart
It warmed my soul
Those beautiful country songs
You sang me in the night
Better than the originals I gotta say
Then you left me your guitar
Became my friend for awhile
I wrote all these ideas
Back in 1999
Now hear they are again
In 2013 (or current year)
Finally wrote the lyrics
To the guitar licks I wrote back then
Thank you Art again x4
At Sukhumvit 71, Suhkumvit JetSipEt x3
Yeah, Sukhumvit Jet Sip Et, yeah hell yeah

Sukhumvit 71: Song 9 Better than Before
Verse 1
Technology is changing the world now
More than before, we feel we’re getting there now
Iphones, ipads, textin and facebook
Here we go, there we go, better than before now
---
Dancy, fancy, laptops for all kids
Let’s give the teachers and kids a little more stress
Not until we all get phd’s can we rest
Here we go, there we go, better than before now
Ah, aaah, aaaaaah, aaah
Chorus
Let’s all dance with bears and black toads now
Indians dance with their toes in the snow now
Ever think about the other side of the sun yeah
Here we go, there we go, better than before now
-repeat whole chorus-
Ah, aaah, aaaaaah, aaah
Verse 2
Wakin’ up late and rushin’ in your car now
Tailin’ everyone, just addin’ to the cauldron
Congestion everywhere, is that what we’re here for
Stressin’ out, on your back, whichever way the wind blows
---
Faster, stronger, put it to the test
Puritanical crap, givin us more stress
Is the latest research the best
If it is, why are we not better than before now?
Ah, aaah, aaaaaah, aaah
REPEAT CHORUS x3
Ah, aaah, aaaaaah, aaah

Sukhumvit 71: Song 10 Ridin' Till The End
V1
I wish I had a few more brothers
To save my soul from mundane lovers
I’d ride right down the rolling thunder
To mysteries on a great blue portrait
Chorus
We’re riding till the end
Don’t stop tryin’ it’s a sin
We’re ridin’ till the end
Don’t stop tryin’ it’s a sin
V2
I wish I had a brand new lover
To light my soul til it’s on fire
I’d ride right down with the rollin’ thunder
With angels by our side we’ll see the sun
Chorus
We’re riding till the end
Don’t stop tryin’ it’s a sin
We’re ridin’ to the end
Don’t stop tryin’ it’s a sin
Bridge guitar

I wish I had a million dollars
To buy my soul from wicked karma
I’d ride right down with the rolling thunder
With secrets from the gods I’ll have my fun
Chorus
We’re riding till the end
Don’t stop tryin’ it’s a sin
We’re ridin’ to the end
Don’t stop tryin’ it’s a sin
Repeat chorus x2.5 w/ guitar solo
