Okay everybody check the altimeters 

Does everybody have 23000 feet? 

Okay, now you new tandem jumpers 

When that door opens 

You will be scared 

 

Are you ready? 

Alright 

On the count of 3 

We all jump on 3 

1,2,3 

Go 

 

Tandem Jump 

(Written by Jonathan Richman)

Big bayou where did you go? 

To the river that's running slow 

To the Gulf of Mexico 

Big bayou carry me home 

 

I took a long, long trip to the city 

I was determined to get somewhere 

I spent all my hard earned money 

I had saved to put me there 

 

Big bayou where did you go? 

To the river that's running slow 

To the Gulf of Mexico 

Big bayou carry me home 

 

I took a picking job in Memphis 

And the people there treated me good 

But my luck run bad in Nashville 

I had to walk the streets of the woods 

 

Big bayou where did you go? 

To the river that's running slow 

And to the Gulf of Mexico 

Big bayou carry me home 

 

Oh lord I'm going home 

Where the fish jump in the air 

You know I don't need a lot of money 

Cause I ain't going nowhere 

 

Big bayou where did you go? 

To the river that's running slow 

To the Gulf of Mexico 

Big bayou carry me home

Lord am I dreaming? 

Am I dreaming? 

People are smiling 

To each other 

 

Look at the children playing 

See them swaying 

And learning and growing 

With one another 

 

Lord am I dreaming? 

Lord am I dreaming? 

Lord am I dreaming? 

 

Now bells are ringing 

Lord what a beautiful feeling 

Am I hallucinating? 

People are sharing bread and wine 

With each other 

 

Lord am I dreaming? 

Lord am I dreaming? 

Lord am I dreaming? 

 

Lord am I 

Am I dreaming? 

Lord am I 

Am I dreaming? 

Lord am I 

Am I dreaming? 

Lord am I 

Am I dreaming? 

 

Lord

Left me crying in a gypsy's arms 

That cuckoo mans do own my charms 

I left my fortune cause I am a fool 

He has me cursing like a big old tool 

 

I ain't never coming back 

Got my heart ready for attack 

Baby you can't bring me back 

Cause I'm no fool for you 

 

Daddy Longlegs crawling down my back 

Psychedelics in the way of smack 

My baby's fortune is a hundred stars 

She buys a scope to enhance her charm 

 

I ain't never coming back 

Got my heart ready for attack 

Baby you can't bring me back 

Cause I'm no fool for you

The ground is but the sea 

The sea is but a tree 

And the tree is but me 

The tree is but me 

The sea is but a tree 

And the ground is but the sea 

It's all a part of me 

It's all a part of me 

 

I'm waiting for the night 

With 2 yellow lights 

Floating humans eyes 

Down marble street 

Where all rangos meet 

And souls cannot retrieve 

 

The ground is but the sea 

The sea is but a tree 

And the tree is but me 

The tree is but me 

The sea is but a tree 

And the ground is but the sea 

It's all a part of me 

It's all a part of me 

 

The ground is open wide 

I'm being sucked inside 

Where my soul can hide 

The night would sing a song 

The rain clouds hum along 

They tell me I belong 

 

The ground is but the sea 

The sea is but a tree 

And the tree is but me 

The tree is but me 

The sea is but a tree 

And the ground is but the sea 

It's all a part of me 

It's all a part of me 

 

Time is standing still 

I'm drifting down a hill 

Smiling daffodils 

Help me from the green 

Up pulls me clean 

Ocean buys some breeze 

 

The ground is but the sea 

The sea is but a tree 

And the tree is but me 

The tree is but me 

The sea is but a tree 

And the ground is but the sea 

The ground is but the sea 

The sea is but a tree 

And the tree is but me 

The tree is but me 

The sea is but a tree 

And it's all a part of me

What is over me must glow 

Sun is rising 

I want you to know 

 

How it was, and how it will be 

On that night, just you and me 

 

Time has come for me to say 

Before my vision fades away 

 

Since my time has gone to her 

 

Send my love to all my friends 

Send my love to all my friends 

 

Time has come for me to say 

Before my vision fades away 

 

Since my time has gone to her 

 

Send my love to all my friends 

Send my love to all my friends 

Send my love to all my friends 

Send my love to all my friends

It's your 1st day at work 

It's your 1st day at work 

And you feel so nervous 

You feel just like a jerk 

 

It's your 1st day at work 

It's your 1st day at work 

And you feel so nervous 

You feel just like a jerk 

 

And your boss is really nice to you 

But that's just for today 

Tomorrow he'll be mean to you 

So you better listen up 

And do what you're supposed to do 

Do what you're supposed to do 

It's your 1st day at work 

It's your

A note 

dropped through the door 

Tells us to go 

O but I know that you 

Will tell them to 

Go somewhere else 

Because you know that 

 

I want to stay in this house forever 

I don't want to ever leave 

How could I ever live in another 

This is where I want to be 

You know that 

There won't be a high wall I can climb 

And find the things that I find 

I'll have to leave them where they are 

I don't want to go far 

 

A tear stained pillow 

Doesn't seem to help me 

I can't make you change your mind 

I look through my window 

And I see all I want to 

How can I leave it all behind me now? 

 

I've done 

All I can do 

I want to stay here 

This could be my home forever 

But you say I can't come back ever 

You don't know just how much 

 

I wish I could stay in this house forever 

I don't want to ever leave 

How could I ever live in another 

This is where I want to be you know that 

 

I don't want to go 

(Written by Strawberry Switchblade "10 James Orr Street")

I'd like to tell you that it's fine but it's not time now 

I can't seem to get a word in edgewise anyhow 

Though the words are flying fast it just don't mean a thing 

In a little while I could tell you everything 

 

But we've taken sides in anger, and we can't back down 

Now, we're fighting just to bring the other down 

And if you think to stop it now 

Then the next time we'll know how 

 

I'd like to break it to you gently where we go wrong 

If the rock begins a rolling we just tag along 

If at first we pick beloved things that we both lack 

Then before we think to stop we're into hurting back 

 

Then an avalanche of answers must be found too fast 

Hasty made just when we should build to last 

Love what we lack like what we share 

Correction comes with time to spare 

 

But we've taken sides in anger, and we can't back down 

Now, we're fighting just to bring the other down 

And if you think to stop it now 

Then the next time we'll know how 

 

I'd like to tell you that it's fine but it's not time now 

I can't seem to get a word in edgewise anyhow 

Though the words are flying fast it just don't mean a thing 

In a little while I could tell you everything 

 

But we've taken sides in anger, and we can't back down 

Now, we're fighting just to bring the other down 

And if you think to stop it now 

Then the next time we'll know how 

(Written by John Sebastian)

Is it efficient or does it kill? 

With the skill of a cluster bomb 

It'll take time but you know it will 

If I happen to live that long 

 

If you would listen to me 

Things wouldn't seem so gloomy 

Now you keep jamming up the gears 

And I can't see through the smears 

And everything's exactly as it... 

 

More 

I love you more 

I love you more than I did before 

But now it's either or 

Or neither nor 

And when I think about you 

 

I start turning green 

And it shakes me up inside 

Cause it used to be the color of your eyes 

 

Everywhere I go I see your ghost 

The spirit of '91 

You said you loved me more than toast 

But less than a staple gun 

 

Is this the wrong direction? 

That's such a stupid question 

Now when you make a sacrifice 

You're supposed to get a wish 

Why does this only work in theory? 

 

More 

I love you more 

I love you more than I did before 

But now it's not allowed 

You're not around 

I see you going out 

 

And everything goes black 

And I start to fall apart 

It reminds me of the color of your heart 

 

More 

I love you more 

I love you more than I did before 

But now we're in a war 

And what's it for? 

I read your horoscope 

 

And everything is clear 

And it feels a little weird 

Cause it used to be the color of your tears 

(Written by Mr. T Experience)

I thought i’d take the time to 

Throw my line to you and let you know 

About the strange things that grow 

On Happy Island find me 

In the sea where there’s nothing but glee 

I live the way I want to be 

 

I love the earth and sky and 

I watch the fishes fly 

As the birds swim by 

And I laugh and cry 

I love the earth and sky and 

I watch the fishes fly 

As the birds swim by 

And I laugh and cry 

 

I found a tree inside a bee 

I blew a wish in my teepee 

A day in my reality 

 

I wish that you could be here too 

Just take the time and you can find 

The Happy Island in your mind 

 

I love the earth and sky and 

I watch the fishes fly 

As the birds swim by 

And I laugh and cry 

 

As the birds swim by 

And the fishes fly 

And I laugh and cry 

 

I wish that you could be here too 

Just take the time and you can find 

The Happy Island in your mind
