From 'The Flip Is Another Honey' 
http://mikedoughty.com/TFIAH

The title of Mike Doughty's 'The Flip Is Another Honey', taken from a 1957 Variety Review of a Jerry Lee Lewis single, means "the b-side is also fantastic." Doughty covers tunes from surprising sources, like John Denver, Cheap Trick, and the Broadway musical Guys and Dolls. "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is a cover of the John Denver song, sung with Rosanne Cash; "Sunshine" finds Doughty rapping Doughty-esque-ly around samples of Denver's voice. "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat" is a straight-up version of the song from Guys and Dolls; "Reach Out" is an obscure Cheap Trick tune from the soundtrack of the early 80's animated film Heavy Metal--which segues into a version of Josh Wink's 90's EDM classic, "Higher State of Consciousness". Except for three songs that were performed live, in the studio, with a cello and piano, Doughty played, or programmed, every sound.

Sunshine - From 'The Flip Is Another Honey'

Lyrics:
Stuck in a rut
Trapped in a box
Behind a door
That's shut and locked
Remember it's okay
To do it the Easy Way
For once in your life
Do it the Easy Way
Take away my pain
Tell me it's okay
Teach me how to do it
Teach me how to do it the Easy Way
Why fall down on my knees to pray?
I can stand on two feet and say
At least for today
I'm going to do it
I'm going to do it the Easy Way
Nothing left to give
Nothing more to say
Ease your worried mind
And do it the Easy Way
Do it the Easy Way
Why does everything feel so hard?
I must learn to do it the Easy Way
Surrounded by love, somehow led astray
We're all gonna die and vanish someday
I need some assistance to wash it away
Can't keep it inside

Do it the Easy Way
Do it the Easy Way
Today I'm going the Easy Way
Do it the Easy Way
Let's do it the Easy Way
I wanna do it the Easy Way
Let's do it the Easy Way
I wanna do it the Easy Way
I wanna do it the easy way
You can help me do it the easy way
Together we can do it the easy way
Together we can do it the easy way

Sunshine - From 'The Flip Is Another Honey'
