If all my dreams were a tidal wave And every day was Christmas We could spend our lives in the drip At the edge of the world Cause love does things that you can't see It's like telepathic surgery And cuts and scrapes just like Iggy pop thrown in a hole If you take away my nerves And leave just my words Love would be the best thing in the world You and me in a chrome reflection We were born to suffer some Please don't chase me from this jail You know it looks so nice If all my dreams were a microwave And every day was summer When I feel this way, you know We should start our own religion If you take away my nerves And leave just my words Love would be the best thing in the world And if you take away my pain Please don't leave my brain Cause when I think it hurts just the same And if you take away my pain Please don't leave my brain Cause when I think it hurts just the same When I think it hurts just the same

Here we go They started up the hill With their young lives exploding still They loved to dream and run They had the grass and the trees and the sun They dreamed of the gold they'd find (they dreamed) At the top of the hill as they climbed No one would ever doubt Their spirit and strength could never run out There they go But the hill was steep and long They never thought they'd be wrong But it wasn't a hill at all It was a mountain a thousand feet tall But with the gold in their thoughts They used their young lust to climb and climb And by the time they got to the peak They were old and they were weak There was no gold that they could find It was all just in their minds They dreamed and they had run They found the grass and the trees and the sun Said what do we do now? Spend the rest of our lives climbing back down We can treasure what we find And make it golden in our minds That's what we'll do

SUPERHUMANS (The Flaming Lips) Once in a while, the time will come To surrender everything you have to give Once in a while, the time will come To surrender everything you have to give I would have given up for you I know they're gonna bump and collide I'm sure there's planets wrapped up with you I've seen them kissing out in the hallway Once in a while, the zebras run To the spaceman and his gun, in the spider's web Once in a while, the zebras run To the spaceman and his gun, in the spider's web I would have given up for you I know they're gonna bump and collide I'm sure there's planets wrapped up with you I've seen them kissing out in the hallway In the hallway In the hallway In the hallway

didn't need you to reply Is it gettin' heavy? But then I realized Is it gettin' heavy? Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be Is it overwhelming To use a crane to crush a fly? It's a good time for Superman To lift the sun into the sky 'Cause it's gettin' heavy Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be Tell everybody Waitin' for Superman That they should try to hold on nest they can He hasn't dropped them Forgotten (/forgot them) or anything It's just too heavy for Superman to lift Is it gettin' heavy? Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be Tell everybody Waitin' for Superman That they should try to hold on best they can He hasn't dropped them Forgotten (/forgot them) or anything It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

about

PRF Monthly Tribute Series Chicago, Illinois

Here's the scoop: A band is picked at the start of the month. Musicians have the full month to record songs by that band, or about that band, or in the style of the band - it's real loose! At the end of the month, we vote for our top three recordings. The winning entry selects the next month's band. Good times and killer recordings since 2014! ... more
