L.A. 03:17
I felt so much at home when I first came to town Hollywood I'd roam like a drunk clown I saw the dreams and lights I'd seen on tv my whole life What a gorgous paradise Unfolding before my eyes I'm in L.A. It's a beautiful day Never wanna be away Cuz I'm on my way I live in L.A. And everything's ok When gigging at Buffalo Bills I'd miss my green kingdome I just knew the Hollywood hills would be my forever home And I never wanna leave again Because the Cali energy Is such a beautiful array Of all the branches on Odin's tree I'm in L.A. It's a beautiful day Never wanna be away Cuz I'm on way everything's ok I live in L.A Strolling down the dirty boulevard And the artsy side streets Venice hippie backyards Stoned in the pleasant heat Oakwood's old fashion lookin' jews Old dudes at Rainbow bar and grill The pacific ocean view from Malibu The flowers, palm trees and the Hollywood hills I love it all And I'm not ashamed to say cuz I'm in L.A. It's a beautiful day Never wanna be away Cuz I'm on way everything's ok Cuz I'm in L.A

Muse 03:18

Sandstorm 03:32
TThere's a sandstorm coming in Lock the door and bar the windows Feed the dog and get the cat Cause the sandstorm's closing in How many fingers must I cross? And how many prayers must I say? How many chances must I pass? To get the hell away There's a sandstorm going on The door is locked, the windows barred The dog is barking, the cat is gone But I'm not there How many rivers must I cross? How many miles must I walk? And how many mountains must I crawl? To escape the sandstorm in my mind? Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away How many fingers must I cross? How many prayers must I say? How many chances must I pass? To get the hell away

Intuition 03:03
Intuition (Jewel) I'm just a simple girl In a high tech digital world I really try to understand All the powers that rule this land They say Miss J's big butt is boss Kate Moss can't find a job In a world of post modern fad What was good now is bad It's not hard to understand Just follow this simple plan Follow your heart Your intuition It will lead you in the right direction Let go of your mind Your Intuition It's easy to find Just follow your heart baby You look at me but you're not quite sure Am I it or could you get more? You learn cool from magazines You learn love from Charlie Sheen If you want me let me know I promise I won't say no [CHORUS REPEAT] You got something that you want me to sell Sell your sin. Just cash in. You got something that you want me to tell You'll love me. Wait and see. If you want me Don't play games I promise it won't be in vain Uh-uh-uh [CHORUS]

Who Am I? 04:01
Who am I? Who am I when I keep changing myself? Who am I when I keep changing myself? Who am I when I keep changing myself? I gotta change my faith Because I can't be myself When I'm all consumed by you And I can't seem to shake you out of my head So come quickly Come now Before I loose another you See, my faith is on the loose So call on the force Call all the angels and the universe too I don't attract you I don't make sense When I'm limping away from your bed Bleeding, my boy Making a mess Oh, no one can love me like this No, no one can love me like this Who am I when I keep changing myself? Who am I when I keep changing myself? I'm loosing my blood I'm calling for help But you leave me laying like this You're watching me crawl As I'm trying to get through To that isolated place You've made for you I so wanna, wanna get in But I see no invitation from you I'm bleeding in a pool And I keep my eyes on you As you turn away from me I'm so messed up Gotta gotta go patch up I drop you off and give you my bravest smile But you give me a pad on the shoulder As you say your goodbyes There's no blaim cuz i don't know who I am Who am I when I keep changing myself? Who am I when I keep changing myself? Who am I when I keep changing myself? Who am I when I keep changing myself?
