Artificial
Energy
Written
by mcguinn, hillman, clarke
Sitting all alone now
I took my ticket to ride
Just a matter of time now
Til i'll be up in the sky.
Coming up on me now
I'm king for a night
What's it gonna be now?
How willful things are building insight
Do you think it's really the trip that you seek?
I've got my doubts it's happened to me.
Artificial energy
Is racing in my mind
I've got a strange feeling
I'm going to die before my time
Cause i'm coming down off amphetamines
And i'm in jail 'cause i killed the queen.

Goin'
Back
Written
by carole king and gerry goffin
I think i'm goin' back
To the things i learned so well in my youth
I think i'm returning to
Those days when i was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more electric trains
No more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And i can play the game of life to win
I can recall a time
When i wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now i think i've got
A lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be
A magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, i'm goin' back
La la la la la, etc.
Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be
A magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, i'm goin' back
La la la la, etc.

Wasn't
Born To Follow
written
by carol king and gerry goffin
Oh i'd rather go and journey
Where the diamond crescent's glowing and
Run across the valley
Beneath the sacred mountain
And wander through the forest
Where the trees have leaves of prisms
And break the light in colors
That no-one knows the names of
And when it's time i'll go and wait
Beside a legendary fountain
Till i see your form reflected
In it's clear and jeweled waters
And if you think i'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our vision
Flow into one another
I will watch her dive beneath
The white cascading waters
She may beg she may plead
She may argue with her logic
And then mention all the things i'll lose
That really have no value
In the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to follow
