Come on everybody take a trip with us
Gonna raise some hell gonna raise a fuss
Cost you a dollar if you care to see
So just belly on up and tell me what'll it be
I've got a little something that I don't think you've tried
No need to run, no need to hide
Just take a little taste and tell me, what do you see
'Cause tonight we're gonna drop a little NYC
Having some fun, well, all of us are
Everyone around you's gonna be a star
'Cause it's the best and the worst, and it's life out loud
Don't mind if I preach; don't wanna get too proud
It's hard to be humble when it's all at your feet
And someday soon, it's gonna leave the street
They say the truth shall set you free
Well you're on parole when you're on NYC
2, 3, 4...dropping some NYC
Crystal Flame Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Sitting in clover looking for the fifth leaf
Something soon will come my way
Never failing to amaze me
I feel its wisdom anyway
Rays of sweet illumination
Inspiration too untold
I hope some day I can befriend it
I think that comes with growing old
Crystal flame
I'll do anything you say
You're my heart and my mind and my soul
At least you fill them when I play
Light so bright it hypnotizes
But it never hurts to gaze
Never to burn or char with fire
Simply the heat from warmer days
And when the moment tends to savor
When the song is close at hand
That frozen ember fills my vision
Letting the brightness take command... take command
Crystal flame
I'll do anything you say
You're my heart and my mind and my soul
At least you fill them when I play
Please, please won't you take me away
It's easy, easy just let me play
Please, please won't you take me away
It's easy, easy just let me play
Sometimes its brilliance all around me
Sometimes its light I barely see
And though I utilize its grandeur
It does not belong to me
Cause all I can do is vague description
As I do my best to share
The smooth perfection I can only dream of
The flow of all the life that's there
Life that's there
Crystal flame
I'll do anything you say
You're my heart and my mind and my soul
At least you fill them when I play
Keep me safe and never lonely
Let the rain fall where it may
And let me find the peace within me
I can find it when I play
They say that solid wet or vapor
The only forms that are portrayed
To them I ask one burning question
Of what stuff are ideas made
Are they made?
Crystal flame
I'll do anything you say
You're my heart and my mind and my soul
At least you fill them when I play
Sitting in clover looking for the fifth leaf
Something soon will come my way
Something soon will come my way
Never failing to amaze me
I feel its wisdom anyway
Rays of sweet illumination
Inspiration too untold
I hope some day I can befriend it
I think that comes with growing old
Crystal flame
I'll do anything you say
You're my heart and my mind and my soul
At least you fill them when I play
Light so bright it hypnotizes
But it never hurts to gaze
Never to burn or char with fire
Simply the heat from warmer days
And when the moment tends to savor
When the song is close at hand
That frozen ember fills my vision
Letting the brightness take command... take command
Crystal flame
I'll do anything you say
You're my heart and my mind and my soul
At least you fill them when I play
Please, please won't you take me away
It's easy, easy just let me play
Please, please won't you take me away
It's easy, easy just let me play
Sometimes its brilliance all around me
Sometimes its light I barely see
And though I utilize its grandeur
It does not belong to me
Cause all I can do is vague description
As I do my best to share
The smooth perfection I can only dream of
The flow of all the life that's there
Life that's there

You're my heart and my mind and my soul
At least you fill them when I play
Sitting in clover looking for the fifth leaf
Something soon will come my way
Slow Change Lyrics – Blues Traveler
Just think about what you and I have been through
And tell me why I should not be afraid
I said don't want to hear about the promises they told us
I don't wanna hear about the progress that they made
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Well fear not, cause my fear soon turns to anger
As I watch my world get ruined by a pristine hand
And I'm out here, saying Excuse me like a stranger
Cause I never did learn how to say Isn't this grand
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Black cat
Squashed flat...pretty gory
Came to play
Swept away...no big story
We shall overcome is what they tell us
But the sun goes down and dawns just too many times
That's all right, don't worry, in God do we trust
Besides, you went and got yours, so I guess I'll just go get mine
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
And tell me why I should not be afraid
I said don't want to hear about the promises they told us
I don't wanna hear about the progress that they made
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Well fear not, cause my fear soon turns to anger
As I watch my world get ruined by a pristine hand
And I'm out here, saying Excuse me like a stranger
Cause I never did learn how to say Isn't this grand
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Black cat
Squashed flat...pretty gory
Came to play
Swept away...no big story
We shall overcome is what they tell us
But the sun goes down and dawns just too many times
That's all right, don't worry, in God do we trust
Besides, you went and got yours, so I guess I'll just go get mine
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Slow change
Don't mean nothing to me
Warmer Days Lyrics – Blues Traveler
When people think of holidays
They think of cold weather
"Let's spend this frozen wonderland together"
Not me, I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
Well, frozen fingers, frozen toes
Topped with a frozen stare
Numb your heart, and you numb your mind
Pretend that you don't care
Not me, I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
Well say what you want about Santa Claus
Go on ahead, do your thing
And solace yourself in your righteous cause
While you're holding out for spring
Not me, I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
When you were young, you walked to school
Uphill both ways in freezing rain
And when I'm frozen in solid ice
How dare I even complain
Not me, I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
They think of cold weather
"Let's spend this frozen wonderland together"
Not me, I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
Well, frozen fingers, frozen toes
Topped with a frozen stare
Numb your heart, and you numb your mind
Pretend that you don't care
Not me, I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
Well say what you want about Santa Claus
Go on ahead, do your thing
And solace yourself in your righteous cause
While you're holding out for spring
Not me, I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
When you were young, you walked to school
Uphill both ways in freezing rain
And when I'm frozen in solid ice
How dare I even complain
Not me, I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
Don't wanna hear bout your winter wonderland
I am into
I'm into warmer days
Gotta Get Mean Lyrics – Blues Traveler
In this vale of toil and sin
You're stuck in a race that you just can't win
Just take a look around and it's so obscene
But that's the way it is, so you gotta get mean
Don't waste your time wondering why
Cause the only thing you know is that someday you'll die
You gotta get tough, you gotta get lean
But best of all you get to gotta get mean
You give me an itch and I'll blow you away
It's part of this dangerous game that we play
You'd do the same if you'd seen what I'd seen
C'est la vie, mon cherie, ya gotta get mean
You're stuck in a race that you just can't win
Just take a look around and it's so obscene
But that's the way it is, so you gotta get mean
Don't waste your time wondering why
Cause the only thing you know is that someday you'll die
You gotta get tough, you gotta get lean
But best of all you get to gotta get mean
You give me an itch and I'll blow you away
It's part of this dangerous game that we play
You'd do the same if you'd seen what I'd seen
C'est la vie, mon cherie, ya gotta get mean
Alone Lyrics – Blues Traveler
I said "I love you"
She began to cry
She said she needed a friend
I said "I'll try"
Soon we'd say nothing
Somehow I never wondered why
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'd loved her always
She didn't know
I tried patience
Let a friendship grow
I tried to keep her
That's what made her go
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Beauty and the beast
Was how it seemed to be
A love like hers
Ain't meant for guys like me
Some call me crazy
Some politely call me free
But either way you see
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work
Think I'm losing my mind, think I'm going berserk
I love you with a passion that you just don't know
And I kinda wish right now that I was telling you so
I could rant, or rave, or play some little game
But when I look into your eyes, it all seems the same
That you weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true fact
Now I don't care how I look and don't care how I act
Cuz you set me free
I'm a man among men
But when I think of what I missed it starts all again
Now alone in the darkness of each new day
My heart is on its own
I wanna rip it from my chest and throw it away
Watch this bassman take me home
I guess some day
Love will soon be here
And maybe then
I'll see things more clear
I guess I got excited
Cause it felt so near
And
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
But I know I'd give my life
Just to hold her now
And who knows
I might see her around
Hopes can always go up
Tears can only come down
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Hey...
You see she left me
She began to cry
She said she needed a friend
I said "I'll try"
Soon we'd say nothing
Somehow I never wondered why
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'd loved her always
She didn't know
I tried patience
Let a friendship grow
I tried to keep her
That's what made her go
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Beauty and the beast
Was how it seemed to be
A love like hers
Ain't meant for guys like me
Some call me crazy
Some politely call me free
But either way you see
You see, she left me
She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm trying to forget you but it just won't work
Think I'm losing my mind, think I'm going berserk
I love you with a passion that you just don't know
And I kinda wish right now that I was telling you so
I could rant, or rave, or play some little game
But when I look into your eyes, it all seems the same
That you weren't meant for me and that's a sad but true fact

She left me
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
I'm alone
Hey...
You see she left me
Sweet Talking Hippie lyrics - blues traveler
Sweet talking hippie
Cross your killing floor
Gonna come a little closer
Cause you know I want more
Don't run off
Don't you be afraid of me
You know you are what you made you baby
I am what I try to be
You know I need your love
And I could use your money
And if you ain't got a dime
We'll sell tickets, honey
You know we need each other, baby
Like a diamond and a ring
Now settle back, woman
And watch me do my thing
Just a little bit closer, it's all right
A little bit closer, closer now, closer now, closer now
Closer now, closer now, it's all right,it's all right
"Come into my apartment"
Said the spider to the fly
Why would you wanna stick that thing in my heart?
Huh, oh well, good-bye.
Sweet talking hippie
Cross your killing floor
Gonna come a little closer
Cause you know I want more
That's all I am, that's all I am
You know that's all I am, that's all I am
I'm alone
I'm alone
Thank you.
Cross your killing floor
Gonna come a little closer
Cause you know I want more
Don't run off
Don't you be afraid of me
You know you are what you made you baby
I am what I try to be
You know I need your love
And I could use your money
And if you ain't got a dime
We'll sell tickets, honey
You know we need each other, baby
Like a diamond and a ring
Now settle back, woman
And watch me do my thing
Just a little bit closer, it's all right
A little bit closer, closer now, closer now, closer now
Closer now, closer now, it's all right,it's all right
"Come into my apartment"
Said the spider to the fly
Why would you wanna stick that thing in my heart?
Huh, oh well, good-bye.
Sweet talking hippie
Cross your killing floor
Gonna come a little closer
Cause you know I want more
That's all I am, that's all I am
You know that's all I am, that's all I am
I'm alone
I'm alone
Thank you.
Defense And Desire lyrics - blues traveler
Step in from the rain
It's the nightingales on 2nd Avenue and I can't complain
It's a busy night
The regulars know me but all the same they decide I'm alright
Whiskey hit me fast
Don't mess with that stranger over there he'll do the same and you both may last
No I won't regret
The air is thick and wet
With defense and desire
Little girl what you doing here
Don't mess with that vampire in the corner who beckons you near
Are you waiting for the band to play
It's too loud in here for words but those staring eyes have much to say
If you meet those eyes in fun
Could be trouble for you if you don't back up what you've begun
No I won't regret
The air is thick and wet
With defense and desire
Gonna run the show someday
Gonna buy this bar and everything in it and run it all my way
Talk to you about it till dawn
Tell you all my plans and twisted dreams until the blow is gone
By providence I'm sent
Into this unsuspecting tavern to build and feed on your discontent
No I won't regret
The air is thick and wet
With defense and desire
It's the nightingales on 2nd Avenue and I can't complain
It's a busy night
The regulars know me but all the same they decide I'm alright
Whiskey hit me fast
Don't mess with that stranger over there he'll do the same and you both may last
No I won't regret
The air is thick and wet
With defense and desire
Little girl what you doing here
Don't mess with that vampire in the corner who beckons you near
Are you waiting for the band to play
It's too loud in here for words but those staring eyes have much to say
If you meet those eyes in fun
Could be trouble for you if you don't back up what you've begun
No I won't regret
The air is thick and wet
With defense and desire
Gonna run the show someday
Gonna buy this bar and everything in it and run it all my way
Talk to you about it till dawn
Tell you all my plans and twisted dreams until the blow is gone
By providence I'm sent
Into this unsuspecting tavern to build and feed on your discontent
No I won't regret
The air is thick and wet
With defense and desire
