Lyrics:

Will I wake up in my dream? 
Will I wake up in my dream? 
See the architecture of my mind 
Seems familiar but so strange

I know, I know I’m dreaming 
I know the laws
I know, I know I’m dreaming 
I know the laws
are made to be broken

I continue my journey far away 
through empty spaces
and far away places
I continue my journey far away 
through empty spaces
and far away places

I open the window and fly
I open the window and fly
but then I realise I can walk through walls 
seems familiar but so strange

I know, I know I’m dreaming 
I know the laws
I know, I know I’m dreaming 
I know the laws
are made to be broken

I continue my journey far away 
through empty spaces
and far away places
I continue my journey far away 
through empty spaces
and far away places

I know, I know I’m dreaming 
I know the laws
I know, I know I’m dreaming 
I know the laws
are made to be broken

I continue my journey far away 
through empty spaces
and far away places
I continue my journey far away 
through empty spaces
and far away places

Journey Far Away

"2004.
The cards are set.
Davenport's gone.
The audience awaits.
Serena's knee may slow her down.
Papa's in the back row.
Nothing to lose and so much to win.
Pick up the racket and hit!"

Lyrics:

In my mind
I created a world 
We’re safe and sound

Carnival and cotton candy
When you’re sad, it's kinda handy

There’s magic everywhere 
What kind of trickery is that? 
There’s a rabbit in a hat!

Carnival and cotton candy 
We're not sad
We’re fine and dandy

Around we go and up and down 
Around we go and up and down we go
(Around we go and up and down) 
(Around we go and up and down)

When you need to laugh 
more than you already do 
Ha ha, hoo hoo

Just think of me
and my funny looking face
and that way
we might get through these days

Stop by anytime
my ice cream parlour is always open 
for business and for you

Carnival and cotton candy 
Maybe on a beach
soft warm and sandy

(Now would you like that?)

Around we go and up and down 
Around we go and up and down
(Around we go and up and down) 
(Around we go and up and down)

You’re the funniest boy I know 
Don’t go, don’t go
Now you’re the funniest boy I know 
Don’t go, don’t go

Carnival and cotton candy, hmm..

Carnival And Cotton Candy

The latest in the Texas Tea series, this is Rusty Shackleford Rides Again.  Terry had the spark for this one.  Once I heard his ideas the guitar part kinda flowed naturally.  Terry did a killer job on the mix and final production as well. This is dedicated to one of our mutually admired cartoon icons.

Ok

Rusty Shackleford Rides Again - w/ Tea R. Sea

Cast of characters:

TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen–electric guitar, banjo, production, and mix
J.J. Terrell-- @j-j-terrell—JJ—clavichord and theremin
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken–drums
mistermark-- @user-432503709 -- synth
cgmaness-- @user-419254289-15129531 – Chris -- electric guitar
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 – five-string fretless bass, electric guitar, seed idea 
Composition--The Eclectic Collective 
  This song began with Josh coming up with the bass line and accompanying guitar chords that make up that part of the rhythm section. Ken was next to add his funky drums, thus completing the rhythm section. JJ also added to the rhythm, however, with his driving clavichord, soon after. He also added the trippy theremin you hear in the break part, too. Chris added some far out guitar parts that fill in the sound throughout, too. Mark then jumped in and she some of the synth you hear in the break part, too. Stephen came along to complete the sound with his cunning banjo, as well as fiery guitar in the break part. He also produced and mixed this superbly as always for us. 
  This is another purely Eclectic Collective production, and almost all of us were able to add our sound to this, except Tez and The Mysterious Decibel. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed creating it.
