STARDUST
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
If I was born without a purpose
As I was born without a clue
Now would the stars still shine the way they do
Would the oceans still be blue?
Stardust
Living in the moment and the moment's gone
Stardust
Living in the moment...
If I was born without a country
As I was born without a name
Why should the fears I feed and hold onto
Have any reason to be true?
Stardust
Living in the moment and the moment's gone
Stardust
Living in the moment...
Bridge
Stardust
Living in the moment and the moment's gone
Stardust
Living in the moment...

HIGH
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
Baby, Inter-planetary launch is nigh
Blue skies, a wide and open space in stereo
Sensors, systems on and engines set to fly
Clearly, ground control is ready for the show...
HERE WE GO...
I party way too much
I'm living way too hard
It's moving way too fast
I know this thing can't last
I party way too much
I'm living way too hard
It's moving way too fast now...
I wanna get high...
A star bursts and supernovae shatter in the sky
I free fall, a senseless rhythm thunders in my heart
Blood rush, as Earth recedes and glimmers in my eye
Eos, as Venus nears and Love is calling home...
HERE WE GO...
I party way too much
I'm living way too hard
It's moving way too fast
I know this thing can't last
I party way too much
I'm living way too hard
It's moving way too fast now...
I wanna get high...
I wanna get high...

MUMM (Made Up My Mind)
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
This other drug is unnecessary
This other moment is a waste of time
This other move is so ordinary
It's like tequila with a twist of lime...
I've made up my mind
Made up my mind
I've made up my mind...
Tired of passing out at 6am
While you fitfully sleep in our empty bed
As my hurting temple takes all that I am
Hear another song start ringing in my head...
I've made up my mind
Made up my mind
I've made up my mind...
Bridge
I've made up my mind
I've made up my mind
I've made up my mind
Made up my mind...

Alienation
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
I'm alive, but I'm ailing
I'm alone and barely standing
I am free, I am bound
I am searching, I am found
I am numb, I am feeling
I feel numb as I lay bleeding...
Hello, Hello
See the dead blindly follow
Hearse and casket all in tow
See the sun is turning black
We might all be gone tomorrow
We may not be coming back
We may not be meant to go...
Hello, Hello
Hello, Hello
On the ground,
I am crawling...
Hello, Hello
Hello, Hello
Can anybody hear me
Hear me, hear me?
Hello, Hello...

Core
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
You built your church on hallowed ground
And never cared about the sound
You made
A desecrated temple here
Another castle made of fear
Forbade
Us all from being...
Core
We are legion
We don't buy your new religion
We are now,
We're in motion
We are Zeitgeist, we are...
Your house of cards is in a bind
Your greed is king and your perception blind
Your petty guards are at their station
Full of hope, my generation minds
We are arising...
(Core) Core
We are legion
We don't buy your grand illusion
We are now,
We're in motion
We are Zeitgeist, we are...
Bridge
(Core) We are one
We are legion
We don't buy your new religion
We are now,
We're in motion
We are Freedom, we are...
Core...

Don't stand still while this world's going down
It's our time, it's our choice
Won't stand still while this world's going down...

Sunshine
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
Once upon a dream and hinging on a moment of madness
Saw you glowing like an angel and my heart skipped a beat
Didn't take a second longer to be sated with gladness
Taken by surprise, but I'd been swept off my feet,
Swept off my feet, oh now...
Sunshine, my heart is on fire
So fine... girl, and I can't get much higher...
Monday morning rolled around, I found you stroking my hair
If bliss is Heaven sent, it was always really meant
To be found in your care...
Just to have you by my side is all I can ask for
I'm thankful for the good times, I can't ask for more
I can't ask for more...
Bridge
Sunshine, yeah, my heart is on fire
Yes it is, yes it is!
You're so fine, girl, I can't get much higher
And it's alright now...

In The Garden Of Love
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
There may be times
When the touch of my hand
Is not enough to soothe you...
May be days
When the sting of my words
Contradicts and burns you...
But we can find our measure
Fill our world with splendor
In the Garden Of Love
Yeah we can share the wonder
Fill our hearts with laughter
In the Garden Of Love...
May be nights
When the strength of my arms
Is not enough to shield you...
May be hours
When the span of my grief
Drowns our joy asunder...
But we can find our measure
Fill our world with splendor
In the Garden Of Love
Yeah we can share the wonder
Fill our hearts with laughter
In the Garden Of Love...
Bridge
In the Garden Of Love
In the Garden Of Love
In the Garden Of Love
In the Garden Of Love
Oh we can find our measure
Fill our world with splendor
In the Garden Of Love
Yeah we can share the wonder
Fill our hearts with laughter
In the Garden Of Love...

Rock and Roll Breakdown
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
How you try to make it work
Dodging shadows as they lurk
Chasing rainbows as they shirk
Ever closer to the hurt...
How you try to make a show
Ever smiling as you go
Fending off the highs and lows
As the pressure slowly grows,
The pressure slowly grows...
Hey, Hey, Ooh...
Rock And Roll Breakdown
Sing a song, remember who you are
Rock And Roll Breakdown
From afar, a superstar...
Never one to play the game
Give your loving all the same
Check your ego at the door
Leave the masses wanting more,
Masses wanted more...
More, More, Ooh...
Rock And Roll Breakdown
Sing a song, remember who you are
Rock And Roll Breakdown
From afar, a superstar...
Storm is close better find a sight line
There is still hope, you'll cope and it's such a fine rhyme
Dreams it seems age like a fine wine
And you can reach the stars if you ditch the old scars
It's in the way you shine...
Shine, Hey, Ooh...
Rock And Roll Breakdown
Sing a song, remember who you are
Rock And Roll Breakdown
From afar, a superstar...

Edge Of The World
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
Hunger for wisdom is never satisfied
Thirst for knowledge is never filled
Where is this peace you say, may lead us to the light
And why is Freedom hidden out of sight...
You may say
We are dancing at the edge of the world
Oh you may say
We are dancing at the edge of the world
We are the anger and the wrath of war
We are the answer we are looking for
But the dogs of hatred are insatiable
See the wicked winds are rising...
While I, I am dancing at the edge of the world
Oh I, I am dancing at the edge of the world...
Bridge
Sha la la...
While I, I am dancing at the edge of the world
Yes I, I am dancing at the edge of the world
Oh I, I am dancing, dancing...
Yes I, I am dancing at the edge of the world...

Mother Jones
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
Mother Jones, dawn is breaking
I am lonely, and further still
Mother Jones, my heart is aching
I am weary, if looks could kill...
Mother Jones, the world below me
Was once a garden made of stars
Mother Jones, all I did see
Desolation, cupidity...
Mother Jones, they were to conquer
Colonize, a brand new world
Mother Jones, to war is human
But the children, they never knew...
Mother Jones, power critical
I am cold, all systems down
Mother Jones, I am sleepy
Please forgive me, if I've done wrong...
Mother Jones, you were a beauty
I am computer, and humans fail
Mother Jones, this is my last transmission
They're all dead, I'm in the red...
Mother Jones, what is this glitch?
I am conflicted...
Is this my...

The Living Grand Majestic
Words & Music by JAMESPARKER
I saw the morning sun
Rising through the trees
On a December morn
Reflecting through the snow
I heard a humming bird
Rustling through the leaves
I saw an eagle fly
And gliding in the sky...
And there was you and I...
I raise my eyes and dive in
The Living Grand Majestic
I raise my voice and join in
The Living Grand Majestic...
I saw the morning dew
Glisten on the grass
I saw the rites of spring
Slowly walk on past
I felt the cold wind blow
Piercing through my skin
I saw a shooting star
And felt my whole world spin...
I saw the Love within...
I raise my eyes and dive in
The Living Grand Majestic
I raise my voice and join in
The Living Grand Majestic...
Bridge
I saw the Love within...
I raise my eyes and dive in
The Living Grand Majestic
I raise my voice and join in
The Living Grand Majestic
I raise my arms and dive through
The Living Grand Majestic...
