Breakin'
lyrics: Matranga; music: Matranga, Garcia, Blankenship
Drivin' my car through an asphalt parking lot,
Find a spot but the ground is really hot,
Feet touch ground, tar on my shoes,
Can't get it off, now I got the blues,
Wish they woulda used concrete instead.
Eating at a Chinese restaurant,
To the john, soy and me just don't get along,
Back to the table, grab my beer,
Confucius say...wish I could hear
The fortune cookie life just ain't payin' off...
Smashin' through the spillway
Runnin' down the runway
Can't seem to get along
Flyin' through the airway
Breakin' through the blockade
Can't seem to get along
Go to church, get some churchin' up,
Said before, was trying to get sent up,
That's where I wrote this, don't strike me down,
Feel bad - this hits, I may go down,
So calm in here, really had to write this song.
Oh, I
Oh, I
Oh, I just can't find the way today
To get me where I want
Just can't find the things to say
To get me what I want
I do good things
But I'm feeling a lotta naught
Smashin' through the spillway
Runnin' down the runway
Can't seem to get along
Flyin' through the airway
Breakin' through the blockade
Can't seem to get along
Smashin' through the spillway
Runnin' down the runway
Can't seem to get along
Flyin' through the airway
Breakin' through the blockade
Can't seem to get along
Smashin' through the spillway
Runnin' down the runway
Can't seem to get along
Flyin' through the airway
Breakin' through the blockade
Can't seem to get along
not for long.
Come Away
lyrics & music: Garcia
Come fly away with me
Come with me there's lots to see
You and I on wings of dreams
You'll feel free as a running stream
Come fly away with me
Come with me there's lots to see
You and I on wings of dreams
You'll feel free as a running stream
COME COME, GO AWAY WITH ME
COME COME, FLY AWAY WITH ME
COME COME, SAIL AWAY WITH ME
OVER THE MOUNTAINS, INTO SKY
Across the ocean grand and blue
A wealth of treasures held for you
See the land oh so green
You'll never ever want to leave
Across the ocean grand and blue
A wealth of treasures held for you
See the land oh so green
You'll never ever want to leave
COME COME GO AWAY WITH ME
COME COME FLY AWAY WITH ME
COME COME SAIL AWAY WITH ME
ACROSS THE SEA INTO THE SKY
Let's ride, Let's fly
Let's glide into the sky
You feel the air set you free
The view drops you to your knees
Sun shinning along the way
Not a care for days and days
You feel the air set you free
The view drops you to your knees
Sun shinning along the way
Not a care for days and days
COME COME, GO AWAY WITH ME
COME COME, FLY AWAY WITH ME
COME COME, SAIL AWAY WITH ME
Travel the land, Just you and I
Do You See Me?
lyrics: Matranga; music: Matranga/Garcia, Edd
Do you see me pleading?
I'm right there by you.
Do you hear me talking?
Or can't you hear too?
Do you see me?
Can't you hear me?
Don't you know me?
Do you see me?
Can't you catch a signal?
Are you not alive?
Do you have no feeling?
Am I not alive?
Do you see me?
Can't you hear me?
Don't you know me?
Do you see me?
Can't you rhyme or reason?
It's not hard to do.
Do you feel me dying?
I'm reaching for you but...
Do you see me?
Can't you hear me?
Don't you know me?
Do you see me?
Do you see me?
Can't you hear me?
Don't you know me?
Do you see me?
Driving
lyrics & music: Garcia
Had to leave the house today
Nothing ever goes my way
Driving all around this town
My life is so upside down
Sitting here pondering
My mind just freely wandering
Never wanna touch the ground
Always have to come back down
Driving in and out of lanes
FEELING LIKE I AM INSANE!!!
GOING GOING REALLY FAST
MY LIFE IS LIKE A RACE CAR TRACK
The speed is steady climbing
My mind freely flying
Better look the other way
Or it will take your breath away
I am moving really fast
Coming to kick your ass
Better get out the way
Or here is where you'll have to stay
Cuz your moving to dam slow
THINK MY MIND IS GONNA BLOW!!!!
GOING GOING REALLY FAST
MY LIFE IS LIKE A RACE CAR TRACK
Had to go back home
Needed to be all alone
Had a hectic day
NOTHING NO MORE TO SAY
Driving in and out of lanes
FEELING LIKE I AM INSANE!!!
GOING GOING REALLY FAST
MY LIFE IS LIKE A RACE CAR TRACK
Cuz your moving to dam slow
THINK MY MIND IS GONNA BLOW!!!!
GOING GOING REALLY FAST
MY LIFE IS LIKE A RACE CAR TRACK
Driving in and out of lanes
FEELING LIKE I AM INSANE!!!
GOING GOING REALLY FAST
MY LIFE IS LIKE A RACE CAR TRACK
Ghost Of A Good Time
lyrics: Matranga, Garcia; music: Garcia, Blankenship
i've been haunted
by the ghost of a good time
the wrath is outdated
but the wraith is fine
i've been haunted
by the ghost of a good time
i feel your presence
when i'm in this place
i've been haunted
by the ghost of a good time
the wrath is outdated
but the wraith is fine
i've been haunted
by the ghost of a good time
i feel your presence
when i'm in this place
those good times
why have they never returned
when do those times exist?
i do not need them
but will never be free
the times i get haunted
are when i want to be left be
i've been haunted
by the ghost of a good time
the wrath is outdated
but the wraith is fine
i've been haunted
by the ghost of a good time
i feel your presence
when i'm in this place
Haves
lyrics: Matranga; music: Garcia, Matranga, Blankenship
you no longer need those things
and you know why
you don't have to be of that cult
which would mean to die.
those who've never had
will always need.
once you've had what you need
you'll never need again.
why do you store things so useless
why do you hoard what you don't need
sometimes i think you couldn't care less
why do you live a life of such greed?
you no longer need those things
and you know why
you don't have to be of that cult
which would mean to die.
those who've never had
will always need.
once you've had what you need
you'll never need again.
of those who've had nothing you need to conceive:
your babies are starving
your old are young dying
the youth are rebellious
because they. . .
. . . all have had none.
you say you've never got what you need. . . that may be so;
but give . . . and maybe you'll receive.
what you've held for so long you need to let go.
you no longer need those things
and you know why
you don't have to be of that cult
which would mean to die.
those who've never had
will always need.
once you've had what you need
you'll never need again.
A Girl

Shadows
lyrics: Matranga; music: Matranga/Garcia, Edd
Keep some things to yourself
Keep quiet - remain versatile
Keep quiet and you'll be free
But it will get you...nothing
No...nothing
Right here where I'm standing
Feels like I am losing
What am I gaining?
I want to be free - winning
In the Shadows
Can't see myself
In the shadows
Thieves steal your wealth
In the shadows
Cannot see
In the shadows
I think I've lost myself
Don't store your sense on a shelf
Instead use it as your wealth
But this could be impaired
In trying times - you're running scared
Running scared
I thought silence would be a shield
Would be a sword and spear
All that it has done
Is put shackles 'round my wrists - I'm done
Chorus
Guitar solo
Chorus
I thought keeping real quiet
Would make things come to me
Would help me clearly think
But it's put a chain around my neck - I sink
Chorus
In the shadows
Wasting your time
In the shadows
Thieves steal you blind
In the shadows
They've stolen my time
In the shadows
They've stolen my mind
In the shadows
Can't see myself
In the shadows
Cannot see
In the shadows
Thieves steal your wealth
In the shadows
I think I've lost myself
