Questions For Einstein by Snow Mack
Decipher secrets as they float into space
do they escape into a gaseous state?
Or are they hanging out with the molecules
in your pocket,
Or do they pass down the drain?
Questions for Einstein if he were here but, he's not here...
Ah... we're on our own again
We're on our own again.
When you're a stranger
and you just keep walking on
Or should you stop and ask them some questions?
You know, about life their patterns
Questions for Einstein if he were here but, he's not here...
Hello, hello, hello...
Did I ring the right number or what?
You're supposed to tell me something.
You've got the answer, baby.
What was that question
When you picked up the phone and I know you're alone
And I know you're alone.
Questions for Einstein if he were here
but, he's not here.
He's not here anymore.
Decipher secrets as they float into space
do they escape into a gaseous state?
Or are they hanging out with the molecules
in your pocket,
Or do they pass down the drain?
Questions for Einstein if he were here but, he's not here...
Ah... we're on our own again
We're on our own again.
When you're a stranger
and you just keep walking on
Or should you stop and ask them some questions?
You know, about life their patterns
Questions for Einstein if he were here but, he's not here...
Hello, hello, hello...
Did I ring the right number or what?
You're supposed to tell me something.
You've got the answer, baby.
What was that question
When you picked up the phone and I know you're alone
And I know you're alone.
Questions for Einstein if he were here
but, he's not here.
He's not here anymore.
Shiva by Snow Mack
What is a civilized man ~ words and clothes ~ cars and bombs
What do these things mean in the eyes of the lord?
The soul is beyond time ~ it burns a hole inside of you-
Till it can't get out
Oh Shiva Shiva, Oh Shiva, Shiva..Shiva
Desire is your daily prayer ~ everyman is king every woman queen
You have all these pretty things but your never satisfied
All man fights a war but what is the fighting for
Why can't we see through the veils of progress
In this forgotten place worries fade without a trace
Ancient souls find their place ~ take the mask from my face
Civilizations will come and go ~ God will bless the ones who know
Love is all you need
The cosmic dance from which I am born ~ will trace my steps for evermore
Oh Shiva Shiva, Oh Shiva Shiva... Shiva
What is a civilized man ~ words and clothes ~ cars and bombs
What do these things mean in the eyes of the lord?
The soul is beyond time ~ it burns a hole inside of you-
Till it can't get out
Oh Shiva Shiva, Oh Shiva, Shiva..Shiva
Desire is your daily prayer ~ everyman is king every woman queen
You have all these pretty things but your never satisfied
All man fights a war but what is the fighting for
Why can't we see through the veils of progress
In this forgotten place worries fade without a trace
Ancient souls find their place ~ take the mask from my face
Civilizations will come and go ~ God will bless the ones who know
Love is all you need
The cosmic dance from which I am born ~ will trace my steps for evermore
Oh Shiva Shiva, Oh Shiva Shiva... Shiva
Seven Sisters by Snow Mack
7 Sarcastic sisters set sail to set free the entire 7th hemisphere
6 little saints said something simply outrageous “God is silence”
6 little saints said something and it goes like this...
7 sisters sailed out over the 7 seas to set free the 7th hemisphere, 7th hemisphere, 7th hemisphere
You'll never know what goes on there
Except through stories said like this said like this
Through strangers who've never met, strangers who've never met
7 little sisters sailed out to find some sense to make some sense from what they'd read in the newspapers day after day and all
The things they said they never knew they never knew ~ they never knew
Never grew up, never grew up ...7 sarcastic sisters...
7 Sarcastic sisters set sail to set free the entire 7th hemisphere
6 little saints said something simply outrageous “God is silence”
6 little saints said something and it goes like this...
7 sisters sailed out over the 7 seas to set free the 7th hemisphere, 7th hemisphere, 7th hemisphere
You'll never know what goes on there
Except through stories said like this said like this
Through strangers who've never met, strangers who've never met
7 little sisters sailed out to find some sense to make some sense from what they'd read in the newspapers day after day and all
The things they said they never knew they never knew ~ they never knew
Never grew up, never grew up ...7 sarcastic sisters...
I Row My Boat by Snow Mack and Kevin Mack
Fairy tales and nightmares
Faded memories
A ride in time
Fortunes for the lucky ones
Curses for us all
A ride in time
Down the road of sorrow
And up the avenue of joy
Boulevard of desire has no end
I meet myself again
Life is but a dream
I row my boat
Gently down the stream
Make my house on every street
Leave the closet bare
A ride in time
Wishing for a life of days
Flowing on a wave
A ride in time
Wishing for a life of days
Flowing on a wave
A ride in time
Hurry home to destiny
Find the answer there
Peace is waiting forever
There's no end
You meet yourself again
Life is but a dream
I row my boat
Gently down the stream
Fairy tales and nightmares
Faded memories
A ride in time
Fortunes for the lucky ones
Curses for us all
A ride in time
Down the road of sorrow
And up the avenue of joy
Boulevard of desire has no end
I meet myself again
Life is but a dream
I row my boat
Gently down the stream
Make my house on every street
Leave the closet bare
A ride in time
Wishing for a life of days
Flowing on a wave
A ride in time
Wishing for a life of days
Flowing on a wave
A ride in time
Hurry home to destiny
Find the answer there
Peace is waiting forever
There's no end
You meet yourself again
Life is but a dream
I row my boat
Gently down the stream
