Waking Up...
00:33

I'm waking up
I'm waking up
Waking up
From this dream

Flee the Country
05:00
|
|||
|
The city sleeps in a warm delusion
The street lights hum with a slow decay
And every night we sit here, waiting
As the buildings slowly rot away
The sky is about to fall around us
Those bastards brought it on us all
The rest may stand there, watching and waiting
But I won't be there for the fall
We'll take a highway night drive
And try to get out of this place alive
We'll never make it if we're slow
So let's go
I wanna flee the country
Pack up the car and drive
And if you wanna come with me
We can be in BC by tonight
This is not a revolution
This is not the only way
But I don't have a better solution
I just wanna get away
We'll take a highway night drive
And day by day, we'll survive
Take this party on the road
So let's go
I wanna flee the country
Pack up the car and drive
And if you wanna come with me
We'll be out of this town by tonight
I wanna flee the country
Pack up the car and drive
And if you wanna come with me
We can be in BC by tonight
We'll take a highway night drive
And day by day, we'll survive
We'll never make it if we're slow
So let's go
I wanna flee the country
Pack up the car and drive
And if you wanna come with me
We'll be out of this town by tonight
I wanna flee the country
Pack up the car and drive
And if you wanna come with me
We can be in BC
We'll be in BC
We can be in BC by tonight

This Endless Drive
04:15
|
|||
|
Rain slides down
Across the glass
Counting memories
As they pass
On and on
The moments go
Losing time
To this endless road
See the grass
It starts to fade
As night consumes
Its slender blades
And still our car
Slides and shakes
Tracing lines
For time to erase
If we grip the wheel
And push ahead
Soon enough
We'll reach the end
Headlights flash
From behind
But the road is thin
And tends to wind
Too late now
To let them pass
So we'll wait
And watch the glass
If we grip the wheel
And push ahead
Soon enough
We'll reach the end
If we grip the wheel
And push ahead
Soon enough
We'll all be dead
We think that our lives are made up of constants
But we constantly change
So do you believe that your life is important?
Or is it enough if it's only a game?
If we grip the wheel
And push ahead
Soon enough
We'll reach the end
If we grip the wheel
And push ahead
Soon enough
We'll reach the end

A van begins to chase us through the night
Frantic flashing headlights sear into our weary eyes
Silence shattered by the deadly screech
Of tires sliding, barely clinging to the icy streets
What has become of everything?
When did our reality become a frightened fever dream?
Young guns running out of time
But the blackness of eternity
Will never make us lose our drive
Around a turn, the van is out of sight, when
A hidden passage beckons in the forest to our right
Brush and brambles claw against our car
As we plunge into the mystery and the safety of the dark
What has become of everything?
When did our reality become a frightened fever dream?
Young guns running out of time
But the blackness of eternity
Will never make us lose our drive
Take us Away from all of this
Somewhere where this sort of thing
Doesn't exist
Young guns running out of time
But the blackness of eternity
Will never make us lose our drive

By the Roadside
03:45
|
|||
|
I can't remember the last time that we sat
By the roadside
And felt the river gently track the time
As it flowed by
Have we been here before?
Could there be something more?
Or was it just a long-forgotten dream?
Is it safe enough to move ahead,
In the moonlight?
Or should we wait the night and try again,
With the sunrise?
If we stop to catch our breath,
Can we get back what we left?
What will rise up from this chapter's end?
Because I
I'm running out of places to call mine
I'm running out of space and out of time
We left the city's chaos far behind
(And now we're here)
But I can't escape the voices in my mind
(Or all my fear)
There's always something new, always
Something more to do
Just trying to stay alive until we're dead
But I
I'm running out of places to call mine
I'm running out of space and out of time
I'm running out of ways to ease my mind, sick of
Living in a haze to meet the grind
Running out of days to live my life, always
Looking for another wave to ride

100 Miles to Happiness
03:17
|
|||
|
Back to the ways
That terrify our enemies
These are they days
That burn into our memories
Another 100 miles to happiness
It's time to start again
Take the emptiness away
Cast the demons from our minds
And we'll be waiting for a better day
Two twenties and a couple fives
And we'll be onto better lives
Fill the tank, and we'll be
On our way
We're on the run
From the sound of our own footsteps
These are the days
That melt into the sunset
Another 50 miles to happiness
It's time to start again
'Cause no one knows when they'll be
Gone forever
Take the emptiness away
Cast the demons from our minds
We'll be waiting for a better day
Four twenties and a couple fives
And we'll be onto better lives
Fill the tank, and we'll be
On our way
And as we roll up to a stop again
A man approaches me
Covered in rags, and
Laden with bags
Heal yourself through me he said
Cast the demons from me and
I will repay you on a better day
Six quarters and a couple dimes
And here's something for your time
Take these cigarettes and I'll be on my way

Headlights
Plow through the snow
We're Frozen
With nowhere to go
Trembling
Rubber on ice
The oncoming van
Closing in from behind
100 miles an hour
In a full 360 spin
Not quite sure, whether this is the end
But I'm sure I've never felt like this before
Tell me, how did we
End up like this, no one
Warned me
That death could come so quick
We could be, sitting back at
Home right now
Watching late night TV
On a comfortable couch
100 miles an hour
In a full 360 spin
Not quite sure, whether this is the end
But I know I've never felt this alive before
What has become of everything?
When did our reality become a frightened fever dream?
But I'd rather feel like this
Than be stuck at home alone
Just waiting out existence
Until it's all gone

Beware the Yeti Bear
03:16
|
|||
|
Two figures slide out across the ice
Hot in pursuit, as we flee through the night
Tie dye shirts, and long gray beards swinging
Frantic shouts ringing in our ears, screaming
"Please don't run, or you'll hurt yourselves
We're only trying to help
The road to our homeland is no longer safe
You can still turn back before it's too late"
"There are things you just don't know, the World is full of
Places you can't go
Just search for what you're looking for
From the safety of your home"
You don't understand, my friends
This world is falling apart
Everyone's afraid of something
Hiding in the dark
We just wanna get away
And leave this crumbling mess
So let us go, and if we die
We'll die among the rest
"We understand that you want to escape
All the suffering and the pain
You want to drive, watch the world fly by,
See it melting in the rain"
"But a terrible creature roams these parts
We've been stalking it for years
A beast that lives within the woods,
The source of all of this fear"
"We've never seen it, but we've heard the tales
Twice the size of a killer whale,
Tall and grotesque, with ferocious hair…
The beast is known as the Yeti Bear"
"There are things you just don't know, the World is full of
Places you can't go
Just search for what you're looking for
From the safety of your home"
"There's nothing you can do
If the beast goes after you
You don't even know the kind of
Things that you can lose"
"When you walk on down that line
You may even start to lose your mind
But if you just turn away, then you can
Leave this all behind"
No!
There may be things that we don't know
But you have to let us go
So leave, and tell your friend
To get his van out of the road
Come on!
"The Yeti Bear!
Be be be beware the Yeti Bear"
Oh hey look, it's Canada!

At the Borderline
01:12
|
|||
|
We're at the borderline
Of everything we dreamed of
So close to being free
Of all our pain and suffering
What will our life be like?
I can't imagine it at all
Across the border
Folks are friendly, and it's cleaner
And from what I've heard
The grass is always greener
What will our minds be like?
Leaving all our worries at the door
I guess that must be what the border's for…
|

BC Border Break-in
03:44
|
|||
|
Over the border
Over the edge
And soon enough
We'll reach the end
We're uninvited
The only way out is through
And since we've come this far
There's nothing we can't do
Off in the distance
Two guards are keeping watch
And right beside them
Another's dozing off
It's time to make the move
Try not to focus on what we have to lose
Make or break, this is our chance to choose
I know we'll be happy if we can just make it through
Watch where you're going
It's so hard to see through these trees
I thought the guard was sleeping
But I think he spotted me
And now they're running
They must know why we're here
They're right behind us
This is everything we feared
Is this the end?
('Cause I always thought our story would end a bit better)
What happens now?
(Maybe Canadian prison has better weather?)
All I know is that I'm getting sick of being chased around
"Get on the ground!
Get on the ground!
We'll bury you there if you dare make a sound"
"Why are you here?
What do you want?
What more could you need with the life that you've got?"
"Isn't it enough?
Isn't it enough?
How will you ever know when you have enough?"
"Sneaking around like you think you're so tough
But how will you know when it's ever enough?"
Is this the end?
What happens now?
All I know is that I'm done with always being chased around
Let's go now, it's time to make the move
Try not to focus on what we have to lose
Make or break, this is our chance to choose
I know we'll be happy if we can just make it through
(Yeti Bear Roars)
"Oh my God, what the hell's that?"

Yeti Bear Theme

"It's the Yeti Bear!"
The Yeti Bear
The Yeti Bear
It's the Yeti Bear!
The Yeti Bear
The Yeti Bear
It's the Yeti Bear!
The Yeti Bear
The Yeti Bear
It's the Yeti Bear!
(Look at that...)
The Yeti Bear
The Yeti Bear
It's the Yeti Bear!
(It's… pretty cool)
So sleek, he looks so fine
With all that fur and grime
He's half Yeti, and he's half bear
With long and ferocious hair
He scared the guards off to who-knows-where
Now we're chillin' without a care
Those two hippies told us to beware
But there's nothing too scary 'bout the Yeti Bear

Yeti Bear Cave

|
(Yawns)
Where are we?
"Welcome to our humble
Dark and enigmatic cave
Life is what you make of it
And this is what we've made"
"The roots that run along these walls
Are older than you'd know
They protect us from the winter
And its unforgiving snow"
"Don't blindly follow all of the things you've heard
Warnings without explanation are only words
The world is much more beautiful than if it were black and white
You should never get too comfortable in thinking that you're right"
"Years ago I lay there, wounded
Stuck beneath the rocks
I was on an expedition
And I must have gotten lost"
"But as I prepared to greet the end
I saw the Yeti Bear
He brought me here and saved my life
And shared his secret lair"
"Don't blindly follow all of the things you've heard
Warnings without explanation are only words
The world is much more beautiful than if it were black and white
You should never get too comfortable in thinking that you're right"

Down with the Yeti Bear
Down with the Yeti Bear
Come out of your lair
We know that you're hiding there
What if he corrupts our children
And then they start to stink?
Or even worse, imagine if
He makes them start to think
Well I've heard that he kills the young
And feeds upon their minds
Leaving brains like scrambled eggs
For those unlucky enough to survive
We know what the Yeti Bear can do
And this won't end till we stop it
It's clearly too dangerous to allow
And we refuse to drop it
We lost our brother to that beast
So many years ago
He went too far and he got lost
And vanished in the snow
We've seen firsthand how powerful
The Yeti Bear can be
We must protect our fragile minds
And keep them Yeti free
(Yeti Bear Roars)
That's it right there!
You killed our brother
And NOW YOU WILL PAY!
We know what the Yeti Bear can do
And this won't end till we stop it
It's too dangerous to allow
And we refuse to drop it
Brothers! I was never lost
What took you two so long?
The Yeti Bear saved my life
You've got the story wrong
If you knew what the Yeti Bear could do
You would never try to stop it
It's lived in the woods for so many years
So won't you please please just drop it?
I'm waking up
Just enough
To know that I've been wrong
But not enough
To make it right
Don't listen to a word they say, those are the demon's tricks
The lies will spread until we're dead, and that's the end of it
So close your ears and close your minds, don't look into it's eyes
We all know that peace and love
Are Evil's best disguise
Kill the Yeti Bear!
No, we need to listen to what it has to say!
Yeti Bear, show them what you showed me!
Listen to what he has to say!
Open Your Minds!
Listen!!!

Secrets of the Yeti Bear
02:18
|

|
(Yeti Bear Roars)
Everything flows into everything flows into
Everything flows into…
What is time?
What is fame?
What is fear?
What is shame?
What is death?
What is change?
What if we're
All the same?
Living on two frequencies
Choosing Fear or Love
Will you sink below as each wave breaks
Or can you ride the tides above?
Even if you fall down now
You can always get back up
Entropy will pull you down
But you will always be enough
There is no time
There is no death
There is no self
So what is left?
There's only love
There's only fear
There's only change
And change is here
Godhead
Green and red
Take me back
From the dead
I feel reborn
I feel the change
Now everything's
A little strange
But it won't last
The feeling fades
You must find
Another way
Bring this back
To your life
But it takes work
And it takes lots and lots and lots and lots of
Time

...from this Dream
03:18
|
|||
|
I don't know why we're here
And I don't know where we're going
But it's ok
I don't know what's coming next
We never really do
It's ok
'Cause I'm with you
And we can set out in our car
And we can travel near or far
'Cause home is just another name for wherever we are
What has become of everything?
Did you ever notice that the grass was always green?
Always running for our lives
But it's a game, and we're the same
And we'll share this endless drive
No need to flee the country
No need to run and hide
I'm sick of pointing fingers
It's time to look inside
Take the emptiness away
Cast the demons from our minds
And we'll be waiting for a better day
Two twenties and a couple fives
And we'll be onto better lives
Fill the tank, and we'll be
On our way
And we'll see
Everything that time permits
We'll swing and miss and we'll have regrets
But no matter what, remember
It's ok
We'll never understand the Yeti Bear
But we can always find him there
And even if we can't
It's ok
I'm waking up
From this dream
