Home Sweet Home

You could fit a million planets into one gigantic burning yellow Sun
And you could travel its diameter by bouncing off the planets one-by-one
But you could see a million Suns before you found the one that sang the perfect song
And so this planet can't imagine how it ever managed back when it was young
Let the world around you worry over all the warheads tonight
There will come a day when all the stars you see will burn out
You and I will be ancient history but darling can't you see
You are my home sweet home
Home sweet home
And if the world could get along just long enough then we could
We could build a tower up into the outer reaches of our atmosphere
Then climb with no resistance narrowing the distance each and every solar year
And it could take a few millennia before we landed on a burning sphere
But wouldn't it be worth the effort if it meant that you and I could disappear
Let the world around you worry over all the warheads tonight
There will come a day when all the stars you see will burn out
You and I will be ancient history but darling can't you see
You are my home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home

Ridin' my bike
Down your street
Looking forward to
The friends I’ll meet me
Down at the Honeycomb Park
Meet me down at the Honeycomb Park
Everybody’s going to the Honeycomb Park
Meet me down at the Honeycomb Park
Outside
So bright
Feeling warmer to
Everybody thats riding
Down to the Honeycomb Park
Meet me down at the Honeycomb Park
Everybody’s going to the Honeycomb Park
Meet me down at the Honeycomb Park
Every flame always starts with a spark
There’s a fire down at the Honeycomb Park
Meet me down at the Honeycomb Park
Meet me down at the Honeycomb Park
Everybody’s going to the Honeycomb Park
Meet me down at the Honeycomb Park
If there ever was a day you can spare
Take the day off -- join the rollicking affair and meet me
Down at the Honeycomb Park
Come on down to the Honeycomb Park
Everybody’s going to the Honeycomb Park
Meet me down at the Honeycomb Park
If you want to find the key to my heart
Its buried somewhere down at the Honeycomb Park
Meet me down at the Honeycomb Park
Meet me down at the Honeycomb Park
Everybody’s going to the Honeycomb Park
Meet me down at the Honeycomb Park

Mountain Climber

We'll go away and come back new - that's what we should do
Climb a mountain or two
And I'll bring our suits and climbing tools
And we'll get outta town for a while
And the Mountain says we won't make it to the peak
Because we're young and we're weak
But I always say there's no reason to believe this isn't a dream
So I say let's go
Oh no don't let me go I've got a hold of your hand
My other hand's on a ledge and we're climbing and climbing oh
When I belay I won't look down I think I see our town
It's like a speck on the ground - and we're climbing and climbing oh
When the people say that we might fall we don't listen at all
We sing along in the squall
And the Mountain says we won't make it to the peak
Because we're young and we're weak
But I always say there's no reason to believe this isn't a dream
So I say let's go
Oh no don't let me go I'm holding your hand
My other hand's on a ledge and we're climbing and climbing oh
Oh no please don't let me go I'm holding your hand
I'm holding on till the end
Hanging from a ledge - if I let go I'll
Wake up in my bed but I don't want to
Let you go just yet cause I don't need to tell you we're
Hanging by a thread - but this isn't the end
Oh no don't let me go I've got a hold of your hand
My other hand's on a ledge and we're climbing and climbing oh
Oh no please don't let me go I'm holding your hand
My other hand's on a ledge and we're climbing and climbing oh
Oh no don't let me go I'm holding your hand
My other hand's on a ledge and we're climbing and climbing oh
Oh no please don't let me go I'm holding your hand
My other hand's on a ledge
