Revolution Earth (Pierson, Strickland Waldrop)
Endless distance
Wildlife and stars
Blanket the night
You lying beside me, darling
Eyes wide open
While the wide arc of the globe is turning
We feel it moving through the dark
Hear the hills
Scrape the sky
And our eyes fill with the falling sparks
Then we know that we're alive
If we weren't
Sure before
I reach for you by my side and soar
Revolution Earth
On gliding fireworks
Revolution Earth
Rolling under us
The world is turning on gliding fireworks
You beside me
Revolution Earth
Frost on the jungle vine
Melting in sunshine (in summer time)
Snow on the mountain tops
Piling high in loving cups!
Then we know that we're alive
If we weren't
Sure before
I reach for you by my side and soar
Revolution Earth
On gliding fireworks
Revolution Earth
Rolling under us
High above on gliding fireworks
You beside me
Revolution Earth
(Whew!)
You flying beside me, darling
Eyes open wide (eyes open wide)
On a voyage between dusk and dawn
Space and time
Then we know that we're alive
If we weren't
Sure before
I reach for you by my side and soar
Revolution Earth
On gliding fireworks
Revolution Earth
Rolling under us
The world is turning on gliding fireworks
You beside me
Revolution -
On gliding fireworks
Revolution Earth
Rolling under us
High above on gliding fireworks
You beside me

Dreamland (The B-52's)
Meet me tonight in dreamland
Meet me tonight in dreamland
Where the things I want will come true
For in dreamland they always do
So meet me tonight in dreamland
Meet me on the path of green
Where nightmares disappear in dreams
Sleeping as one
Flowered river carries us down
To dreamland
CHORUS
In dreams
Kisses are pure as the sky is blue
In dreams
As it carries the thoughts I have of you
In dreams
Kisses are pure as the sky is blue
Dreamland, dreamland!
The wind is a perfume of blossoms that hide
>From the people who'd trample a dream such as ours
Blossoms that fall frome trees so tall
That falling is floating in heaven for hours
Trees that are towers that rise above
The bower of dreams where I lie with my love
Dreams that fly from our hearts to each other
Shared thoughts of our love under the covers
CHORUS
With kisses we are entwined
With the lillies and the vines
All on the path
Lst night I dreamed I had burning hands
Reaching for beautiful visions
And everythng was shimmering
The friends that have walked on before us
Are waiting to take us to laughter and dancing
The friends that have walked on before us
Are waiting to take us to the sky
I dreamed I was in a boat floating on air
And everything ws there
And everything was shimmering
Is That You Mo-Dean? (The B-52's)
Wain' for bus N 99
goin' to the store for hot dogs and wine!
When all of a sudden, I felt real cold
And wound up in the body of a big ol' UFO
On the bus, to the plane
To the UFO and to outer space baby
On the bus, to the plane, baby yeah
Take me away
CHORUS
Is that you Mo-Dean?
It's me Mo-Dean
Is that you Mo-Dean?
On a UFO
Is that you Mo-Dean?
It's me Mo-Dean
The interdimensional outer space being
Movin' through the spheres, faster than light
On our way to some planets that were outta sight
We said space driver, give it a spin
And take us to some places we ain't never been
On the bus, to another plane
To the UFO and outer space baby
On the bus, to the plane, baby yeah!
Take me away
CHORUS
Is that you Mo-Dean?
It's me Mo-Dean!
I say at which depot do we depart fromhis UFO?
Well it had been 987 years in outer space time when I got back
Couldn't seem to find any of my friends to tell my intersting stories to
Past life
On the bus, to the plane
To the UFO and outer space baby
On the bus, to the plane
Baby yeah!
Take me away
CHORUS
Is that you Mo-Dean?
It's me Mo-Dean

Instrumental
Vision of a Kiss (The B-52's)
I wish to see your lips
Parting like the waves of silence and mystery
I've got a curious love-for you!
Ever since we met I'm so impressed with you
Ever since we met
I've been so impressed!
CHORUS
I'm havin' a vision
I'm havin' a vision
I can't wait forever-(I can't wait, I can't wait)
I'm havin' a vision of a kiss from your sweet lips
But I can wait 'till the twelfth of never
Don't shatter the vision
Don't shatter the vision
The burning vision of a kiss from your sweet lips
Been lonely for so long
My life jumped the track
Broken clock on the wall says I should head back
But the vision holds me
The vision holds me
Lost in a vision of a kiss from your sweet lips
Every time you sepak
A pearl falls in my cup
You turn away, the pearl melts before I drink it up
No-don't shatter the vision
Don't shatter the vision
Lost in a vision of a kiss from your sweet lips
CHORUS
Srong windd is blowin' me down
To the center of town
Come on, seize the wilderness of the moment
Feel the movement of the moon-
swans fly with wings wide open to the sky
Like a wild wave of birds goin' by
I know our souls will fly!
Things are out of focus
My face is wet with sweat
Though I've only seen you once
Just see how shaky I get
Would you even notice?
Would you even care?
I f you knew that every day I'm sitting there
CHORUS
Vision of a kiss
A visionA
A vision
A vision
A vision of a kiss
CHORUS
Every time you speak
A pearl falls in my cup
You turn away, the pearl melts before I drink it up
The mystery unfolds...
Brezin'
I don't need a reason
I am just breezin'
Makin' changes as they come
Ain't gonna bother anyone
Give and let live
Love and be loved
We're workin' on a positive vibe
So let the love rise to the top
Up here where the breezes blow
Don't let the love flow over stop
We got to get it together
With everyone else
We caan't make it to the positive side
Without some help
Breezin'
Let's flow
Breezin'
Let's flow
I'm ready to go
I don't need a reason
I don't need a reason
I'll hold up the roof, if you steady the walls
We'll sweep the floor, fix the house
Let the waves roll through the door
Yeah I'll hold up the roof, if you steady the walls
We'll sweept the floor, fix the house
Let the waves roll through the door
Send a message put up your antennae tonight
Get the message put up your antennae tonight
We got to get it together
With everyone else
We can't make it to the positive side
Without some help
This is the turning point
The point of no return-
We got to come together!
Give and let live
Love and be loved
I don't need a reason
I'm breezin'
I don't need a reason
I'm breezin'
I'm breezin'
Bad Influence (Pierson, Schneider, Strickland)
Call it bad
My bad my bad influence
Big town holds me back
Big town skinns my mind
Small minds wear me down
Spreadading salt on fertile ground
Honest pleasures now forsaken
Drastic measures to be taken
Can't accept your difference
They call it bad influence
CHORUS
Free mind, free soul
It's time for liberation to flow
Free mind, free soul
It's time so let your future unfold
Call it bad
My bad my bad influence
Break out of the mold before the mold sets in
Dangerous walls are closin' in
They twist the truth
Then give it a spin
Love's a grenade, I'll pull the pin
CHORUS
The circle is wide
Shadows flower into the light
Bad influence
Bad such a bad influence
You think I'm bad
You think I'm bad
Well I'm the most fun that you ever had
So good, so good
But people say I'm a bad influence
Wide mouths, narrow mnds
Can't accept your difference
Open season on new ideas
They call it bad influence
CHORUS
My bad my bad influence
Just a bad influence
My bad my bad influence
Call it bad
My bad my bad influence
Wide mouths with narrow minds
Narrow minds, creak and grind
Rally to a peaceful sound
Let the barriers tumble down
My bad my bad influence
My bad my bad influence
Break out of the mold before the mold sets in
Dangerous walls are closin' in
They twist the truth
Then give it a spin
If love's a grenade, better pull the pin!
Call it bad
My bad my bad influence
