Ocean Floor   (Mike Barnes )
  
There was a black slick border 
On a page of white
Information that was bare
An empty room with the writer and his chair
He looked up and said,
Now I'm ready to go
I can take you anywhere
With fall like turns of colour
No time to decide or prepare
Just follow your imagination

It's just one big step off the ledge
And your flying high
You are reborn
You are the savior
From every century of this world
A falling down gratification
 
Is it a dream
Or am I out of fashion

I'm living on the ocean floor
Never coming up for air
Just living on the ocean floor
Looking at the world from there
Well I can walk on water
Die if I want to
Don't know where to end or begin
I can make you want me now
I can make you let me in

Is it a dream
Or am I out of fashion
Is it a dream
Or am I out of fashion
Can it be real 
Can it be apparition
How does it feel
To get yourself in the action

Where did you go

Take My World   (Mike Barnes)

What do you preach every Sunday 
How far off the track can you go
Being thankful for a meal
Standing alone at the uptown
Got no money left for the show
Not a penny left to deal
But you can't take my world
And roll it over flat
Mail a package to my door
In a box without a wrap
Make the weekend last forever
The hour not go round
You can't take my world
And turn it upside down

Colours are fading on the blue sky
And the grey is passing along again
Out here flying my kite
And though I've been reeling in sunshine
From the morning since it began
I'm feeling kind of wiped
But you can't take my world
And drown me in the rain
Make a river that's flowing down
Go back from where it came
Make the weekend last forever
Take the numbers from the score
You can't take my world

I'm blind
But I can hear and I can taste
And I feel all the wind on me changing
That's all I'm going to need

Floating around in your ocean
And I want to lie on your shore
'Cause someone's got to find you 
Taking a vow of devotion 
For a thousand years , maybe more 
You know I do admire you 
But you can't take my world 

It's no other place that's found

Envy   (Mike Barnes / Steve Barnes )

Enviable Quality
Enlighten us 
For all the world to see
From where I stand
You're looking down 
Breaking through the clouds 
At the speed of sound 
Watch me 
I'm lighting in the pouring rain 

I can feel you over there 
Pressed against my window 
And you stare 

You're in my veins
You keep pouring in 
And it's starting to break me 
It's never the same 
When the sun is going down without you 
It's alright 
Lay down 
You're in my veins now 

Enviable Quality  
Enlighten us 
For all the world to see
