1.	Paradoxical solitude (free) 01:33	lyrics	download
Unleash the beast inside ourselves. Unleash my mind to someone, and relish the fact that I'm still alive. The papers stretching across my desk! Ideas flourish in the right environment, picking battles, the hardest thing; you're not alone in searching. Paradoxical solitude. Withholding moneys of capital gains ...we disagree on what that means...
2.	John Jack and Natalie Ross - Versions 04:00	lyrics	buy track
I am twenty years old, and I don't know how to speak. Being nervous, it sometimes consumes me. I'm a chimpanzee swinging from the trees! Eating bananas, the books I've read. Enjoy your life and embrace the madness. I just want to get paid to explore the forests. Quiet quiescence, bartering for borrowed goods, can you spare me a brain? I am a chimpanzee swinging from the cultured branches. Now, I'm thirty years old, and I won't forget my speech. We're all people, it sometimes personifies. I'm a monkey trying to understand! Hemp-made paper, more books to read. Enjoying life, let's embrace the knowledge. I am finally making wage to explore the science. Quiet quiescence, bartering for borrowed goods, can you spare me a brain? I am a chimpanzee swinging from the cultured branches. Can you spare me a brain?

4.	Cosmological constants... 03:40	lyrics	buy track
Our moon came many years ago, from our own skin, our moon. It came long time ago, from our own skin. Cosmological constants, my mind keeps exploding, extrapolations confounding my reasons. I'm lost amongst the masses but I'm seeing through false pretense; I sit back back with science -- gauging empirical facts. Our sun came longer still ago, same as our own skin, our sun. It came long time ago, from long dead skin. White, black, brown'n hispanic, I don't give a shit. We're physically crackling practical particles quantum, we're listening. -JJ.
5.	Exploring the universe, what's the point--that's what I'm asking. 01:12		buy track
