Emin, C, B
Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost anywhere in the U.S.A. 
Let's go get lost Let's go get lost

Blue you sit so pretty West of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing Just a mirror for the 
Sun, just a mirror for the 
Sun, just a mirror for the 
Am/C, G/B, Am, G, Am, G/B, Am/C, G/B
Sun, these Smiling eyes are just a mirror for 
 
Emin, C, B
So much as come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun

Staying high and dry's more trouble than it's worth in the 
Sun, just a mirror for the

Parallel Universe 
Tom: Cmim 
Intro: Cmin, Cmin, Bb, Bb, Dmin, Eb, Gsus4, G

 

 (Cmin, Cmin, Bb, Bb, Dmin, Eb, Gsus4, G)
Deep inside of a parallel universe
It's getting harder and harder to tell what came first and
Under water where thoughts can breathe Easily
Far away you were made in a sea just like me 

 

Chorus:
(Cmin, Eb, Bb, G)
Christ I'm a sidewinder I'm a California King
I swear it's everywhere oh It's everything 

 

(Cmin, Cmin, Bb, Bb, Dmin, Eb, Gsus4, G)
Staring straight up into the sky Oh my my
A solar system that fits in your eye Microcosm 
You could die but your never dead spider web
Take a look at the stars in your head fields of space kid

One Big Mob
Tom: F#5

 

Verse
       (     F#5, B5, E5, Eb5, C#5 )
I am you are me.  I am you are me.  Who?
Good woman said you gotta believe
Submerge into the urge of me.
Deliciously the mystery.
Chorus
One big mob aw yea aw yea X2
Ek bara mala aw yea aw yea X2
One big mob is...
**Keep same pattern as in the 1st verse and chorus**
Ooze into into my noodle
East or West shepard or poodle
Ladybug pinetree
To mingle with the bumblebee
A lover to the sun
And a brother to the cool breeze
One big mob is...
Chorus
We live in the city
We live in the jungle
It's time to be drinking
A thimble humble
Everything you ever see
Is never more than you and me
Give it on into the beauty of mystery
**After this, the song slows down and this riff is repeated over and over**
    B5

All around the world 
We could make time 
Rompin' and a stompin' 
'Cause I'm in my prime
Born in the north 
And sworn to entertain ya 
'Cause I'm down for 
The state of Pennsylvania
I try not to whine 
But I must warn ya 
'Bout the girls 
From California

Said hallelujah 
Good god girl 
I wish I knew ya

Come back baby 
'Cause I'd like to say 
I've been around the world 
Back from Bombay
Fox hole love 
Pie in your face 
Living in and out 
Of a big fat suitcase
Bonafide ride 
Step aside my Johnson 
Yes I could 
In the woods of Wisconsin
Wake up the cake 
It's a lake she's kissin' me 
As they do when 
When they do in Sicily
Chorus...

Where you want to go 
Who you want to be 
What you want to do 
Just come with me
I saw God 
And I saw the fountains 
You and me girl 
Sittin' in the Swiss mountains
Me Oh My O 
Me and Guy O 
Freer than a bird 
'Cause we're rockin' Ohio
Around the world 
I feel dutiful 
Take a wife 
'Cause life is beautiful
