Runnin' 02:49
Down the track a mission We're hittin' it fast No one can stop me Dare do they top me The bugle calls at last Under force and fire Desire forms ash The crackle, the spark The true lover's mark Burns a gaping gash Get runnin', get runnin, Get runnin' now The dust is a rush Get runnin' now Break the gates and go The road is bent and beggin' For steady a bite Muster the match Give 'em a catch Run into the light

O be I your bluebird Be your whistlin' trails From the tiger scratch To the round rump tails O be I stayin' by you O be you the treetop guide Though skies stretch by, and how wide You take my wings And plume them so fair So to fly to seas afar O to join your native plight To dig roots down and deep So to raise your stories How glory be To graft to you want I O to bloom the blue To bustle and chirp the song The blue's the sky and sea And me I'll be your bluebird

Blue Violet 02:37
Stagger to the blue Gilded sky, how high Life on the ground How silent the sound Wonder up above Just below the air Circus horse, white hair Life in the clouds How sweeter the sound Saw how this is love Oh, Blue Violet Showed forever in a day Her indigo flow I needed to know To rise like Ganymed

Blue Drag 04:23
Blue drag It sure is dragging me down I'm almost tagging the ground When I hear that blue drag Oh baby, that slow drag It's got that new lazy swing I crave that new crazy thing I must have my blue drag Oh, the rhythm, the rhythm Has got me into this mysterious craze Oh, the rhythm, the rhythm Has got me into this peculiar daze I can't get enough of blue drag It's got my soul on fire I know that I'll never tire Of that low-down blue drag

Ben's Boots 03:32
Ben's belt of bullets on her bed Made for awkward conversation Through his army get-up toe-to-head Elle got a different education He laced her in his boots and said, "Over yourself seek domination." Elle chose no violence, took the truth instead There she found admiration Elle brought the opera to the street An alternative sophistication Ben's boots pumped power to her feet, Her soul - a staggering elation Elle lived for art, a cause complete And delivered it with love to the nation And anything that came to break her beat Turned to good through her imagination The boots set out on the Montreal ice To walk an ambition expedition The winter wonderland turned into paradise Elle turned in to Midas, the magician Thus, she learned to flaunt her saunter In the boots that walked a mission And the kids from the Belle Province came to join her In a new rendition of tradition
