The Campfire Boys (R. Landar)
Chorus
Gonna play all night, gonna play all night
The campfire boys are gonna play all night,
Wood and wire and pure delight
The campfire boys are gonna play all night
At Pekin Ferry when the fire got big
The fire got big, the fire got big
They were burning tables and dancing a jig
At Pekin ferry when the fire got big
Chorus
Kaydee said it was time to start,
Time to start, time to start
Playing our favorites from the heart
Cause Kaydee said it was time to start
Chorus
Gonna dance and sing to all their songs
All their songs, all their songs
Put the Boxer noise where it belongs
Gonna dance and sing to all their songs
Chorus
One night at Tribe, Moon River broke out
Moon River broke out , Moon River broke out
Had to act fast cause the fun was in doubt
But Casey Jones made everyone shout
Chorus 2X
The Campfire boys are gonna play all night

Ground Kontrol (J. John)
The pouring rain, the Portland king
There’s a place he go
Real machines live and die, from days of old
Steppin’ upstairs, just watch me
The bump, flip’d my soul
Hey, are you here? Where am I?
Takin’ my time watching numbers climb
at Ground Kontrol
Do you need food badly?
Are you about to die?
Every warrior, electric soldier, they testify
Partly cloudy Sunday night ,
You freeze tag my toes
The government takes its toll
Raise my sword, your heads are gonna roll
at Ground Kontrol
People behind us control the world
My quarters still remain
The pouring rain, the Portland king
There’s a place he go
Real machines live and die, from days of old
Steppin’ upstairs, just watch me
The bump, flip'd my soul
Hey, are you here? Where am I?
Takin’ my time watching numbers climb
at Ground Kontrol

King of Contradiction (R. Landar)
How come I always really really want
A lot of things that I just can’t have
And though I want it, there’s no answer to this question
Is it the touch I’ve never felt
That might finally cause the ice to melt
And is desire a disease or just a symptom
CHORUS
I struggle with this problem
Searching for facts, living with fiction
Am I a slave to possibility
Or the king of contradiction
Every time I turn around and see
That I’m exactly where I’m meant to be
And I have worked so hard to try to build a strong foundation
Then the options like and earthquake hit
I try to balance while the fault line shifts
And I wonder if I need a new location
CHORUS
Every time I look around, And try to guess which way to turn
It always starts to bring me down,
Until I realize all I have learned
What I’ve learned is simple, What I’ve learned is this
Its not the things that we’ve been missing
But love that makes us rich
I know I’ll never really, really get
A lot of things that I think I want
I have come to know its just a part of man’s condition
And from somebody else’s POV
A lot of people want to be like me
And sometimes you can’t tell the victor from the victim
CHORUS

Say Go

Say Go (J. John)
Once upon a Saturday
Row my boat outside
I'll be a friend
Maybe play songs
Only I remember
Everything the waves drown
Chorus
Your mark, get set, say go
Your mark, get set, say go
Your mark, get set, say go
Pinwheels in the field
Who knows how it came to be
As I roll along
Candy all I am
The breeze lifted me so high above a cloud
From a new position
I dreamed an ocean far away
A sailing sun
Chorus
A mile ended
A path we started from
Along the way
You knew me well tomorrow
Never once was it that lonely
Steppin' in the stream
Chorus

Mr. No

Mr. No (R. Landar)
Who can find a black cloud behind a silver lining,
Who can bring me down without even trying
Who can turn a sweet drink into bitter lemons
Who says you got to go through hell
cause you're nowhere near heaven
That's why he's got no hope
That's why he's got no chance
That's why he's got no reason
To be making any plans
Chorus
Mr. No
Why don't you know
It's where you go
Not where you start
Mr. No why can't yo see
It's a self fulfilling prophecy
Brace yourself, climb out, break free
Instead of drowning in the quicksand
Of your negativity
When he goes looking for trouble, trouble will find him
And if he turns the other cheek it will deaf, dumb and blind him
He's a big complaint , waiting to hatch
You know it's never his fault, there's always a catch
That's why he's got no hope
That's why he's got no chance
That's why he's got no reason
To be making any plans
Chorus

Nothing Never changes (J. John)
Nothing never changes
Something’s contagious
Are we just imagining things
or a billion miles high?
Stranger or maybe
Danger! oh baby
Sleep in the stars
Years roll away
Memes and dreams of yesterday
...Help is on the way
There is an answer
You are the answer
Nobody changes everything
in nobody’s time
Silence your senses
Beautiful the sense is
...just for a moment again
You’re a billion miles high
Once in a while
Promise a big parade
Memes and dreams of yesterday
...Help is on the way
You know...
Nothing is real
The eyes of the unfolding dream
You are, and I am
Memes and dreams of yesterday

State of the Union

State of the Union (R. Landar)
You called me up to tell me that
You had reached the end
You robbed my mind , you robbed my time
But we can still be friends
You said you reached the breaking point
You said you had enough
Enough to see you had enough of me
And more then enough of us
That's the state of the union
I think back to this time last year
When you first heard the call
You ran to me, I slowed you down
You can't run before you crawl
At times we fit like a hand in a glove
But other times I'd see
Your constant change from day to day
There's no consistency
That's the state of the union
I saw you smile the other night
You stood out from the crowd
You moved your lips, I could not hear
The room was way too loud
You seemed to want to try again
You know we've lost the spark
I want brightness, I want highs
You offer lows and darks
That's the state of the union
We're living the grand illusion
In a world of mass confusion
Brought on by self delusion
That's the state of the union
That's the state of the union
That's the state of the union

I Can See (J. John)
Opal wings, sky and rain
Trumpet sound, faded flame
Guessing games interest me
Angel over me, I can see
Dream witness oh delight
Crush me with belonging sight
Secrets of a holy link
Angel over me, I can see
Can we crawl above the pain that belongs
And bleed into one 'till we are all gone
La la laa.....
Crash the hours in my rage
Hold me down, seal my fate
You became some part of me
Angel over me
Angel over me
Angel over me, angel over me, angel over me
I can see
Can we crawl above the pain that belongs
And bleed into one 'till we are gone

Caribou Susie (R. Landar)
I've got a woman, she's the meanest woman in town
I've got a woman, man she always puts me down
She tells me that she loves me when she looks me in the face
I find out a little bit later, I've just been replaced
I've got a woman, she's the meanest woman in town
Caribou Susie you never make up your mind
Caribou Susie you leave me in a bind
This woman is so evil, she's evil every day
I'd call her on the telephone but I can't believe a thing she'd say
Caribou Susie you never make up your mind
Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan
Tell me how can this mess be
It gets so confusing
The way you mistreat me
I got a woman, she's the meanest woman I know
I got a woman, man she's heartless and she's cold
This woman is so evil, she's evil all the time
I'd call her a little weasel, but that would insult the weasel kind
Caribou Susie you never make up your mind
Susan, Susan, Susan, Susan
Tell me how can this mess be
It gets so confusing
The way you mistreat me
Caribou Susie you never make up your mind
Caribou Susie you leave me in a bind
This woman is so evil, she's evil all the time
She wants Justin John to kill me, so he'll have it on his mind
Caribou Susie you never make up your mind
Caribou Susie you never make up your mind
Caribou Susie you never make up your mind
That's right

I Disappear (J.John)
I was falling from a star
Becoming like the wind
On a stage I sure am free
I disappear until I sing
The tides all break for you
When you dance for the Kings
Summertime nights, oh yea
You disappear until they see
You disappear when I fly over
You disappear when you're alone
You disappear to the black of your space
Don’t go easy written on your face
Lemme know if you won’t be alone...
...none of us are alone...
We are falling from a star
Becoming like the wind
On a stage we sure as free
I disappear until you see
I disappear...

Task at Hand (R. Landar)
There's so much static in the world today
So much noise we can't turn away
Too much chatter that's not saying much
What can we do to climb out of that rut
Chorus
We've got to keep at the task at hand
Keep at the task at hand
Spread the word to every woman, child and man
Keep on keeping on the task at hand
So many people everywhere will say
It's so hard to make it in the world today
They take one step forward then they fall right back
How can they get on a better track
Chorus
Working together at the task at hand
Nose to the grindstone, understand
working together at the task at hand
Keep on keeping on the task at hand
Chorus
