Setlist 1 lyrics

Trampoline
Baby take me high, high, up to the sky
See it all above, love, fly like a dove
But nothing seems to last, no, it all goes to fast
Gonna take a turn, spurned, gonna crash and burn
Bury me in the ground, take another round
 
Trampoline…. Trampoline, yeah, yeah
Up and Down…. Trampoline
 
Life is ups and downs now, can’t find middle ground
An even keel has its appeal, tether the free wheel,
Would you trade an ocean for a frozen pond?
 
Trampoline…. Trampoline, yeah, yeah
Up and Down…. Trampoline
 
Alabama Hills
Oh ho, Alabama Hills,
The desert’s callin’… my name
The dirt was red, I stood in awe,
The tallest mountains that I ever saw
I was alone, left the world behind
Look inside, don’t know what you’ll find
Oh, yeah… take me there
 
I had a dream that I was lost,
The only way was to climb across
Oh no, no way, without you
 
Go
 
I had a dream that I was lost,
The only way was to climb across
Oh yeah, no way, without you
I got no way home… no without you!
 
Climbing Higher
Going higher… oh yeah! Climbing higher, yeah yeah yeah, ee yeah
Going higher
You’re gonna fail before you reach the peak, yeah,
Better try, work it harder
Right here, Right now
Right here right now
 
Sierra Zen
[John Muir quote: The luminous wall of the mountains rose in all their glory,
And it seemed to me the Sierra should be called not the Nevada, or snowy range,
But the Range of Light.
And after ten years spent in the heart of it, rejoicing and wandering, bathing in the glorious floods of light, the sunbursts of morning on the icy peaks, the noonday radiance on the trees and rocks and snow, the flush of the alpenglow, and a million dashing waterfalls dashing with irised spray,
It still seemed to me above all others, the Range of Light the most divinely beautiful of all the mountain chains I have ever seen.]
 
Hold your head up high, in the mountains, Here above it all
Alpine lake is your surrounding, let your worries fall,
Ain’t no ego, in the mountains, everyone is small,
You are part of something greater, listen to the call
 
Couldn’t hear a thing but the wave of the wind,
Ain’t nothing but Sierra Zen
 
Four Corners
In the Four Corners of the Nation, a lonesome coyote calls,
And the dirt beneath his feet, remembers people it once saw,
When the land was green and good, and the rivers don’t run dry,
There lived a people for a thousand years, when the eagles filled the sky
 
When outsiders came into these lands, they were the last to fall,
And when our buildings scraped the skies, their bravery built the walls,
And when the war threatened us all, their code saved the day,
But have we forgotten now, will we ever repay?
 
Lonesome Highway
Take me down that lonesome Highway, a long way down the road,
Take me down that Lonesome Highway, I ain’t been before
Where I’m goin’ there ain’t no city,
Where I’m goin’ there ain’t no town,
A mountain of fear stood before me,
But my way, oh, my way, it was so clear
 
 
Surfin’ the Desert Highway
How many times have I been told? Wait around and you just grow old,
Some waves break only in the mind
Chasing swell on a baked road, waiting for a tide that never rolls,
Some waves break only in the mind
 
No ocean in sight but still I ride,
Some waves break only in the mind
No ocean in sight but still I ride,
Some waves break only in the mind
 
Lost in a canyon, can you find a way? Slippin’ sideways
Riding a black sea, someday you’ll find me
Surfin’ the Desert Highway
 
I used to ride the waves for days, but now I surf the cracks in time
Sand curls like a promise and I paddle to the sky

 

Setlist 2 lyrics

Immersion Summer
South swell’s risin’,
Take a ride with us,
We are Immersion Summer,
Take a ride with us
 
Round and Round
Life what is it for, what is the meaning?
Spin like a cog, in the machine,
Do what you’re told, do what you’re told,
Til’ you grow old, do what you’re told
 
Gears keep turnin’ but I never go anywhere,
This machine was built by people who forgot to care,
Nah nah, nah nah, Hey!
 
Round and round and round, We’re goin’
Round and round and round, We’re goin’
 
Light a Fire
Dark night, star light, fire bright, to-night
 
Life can give you lemon, competition bring you down
If I turn my struggle and tension, creation has no bound
You know the struggle and the strife it overwhelming today
There’s too many haters given too much sway
I wanta cast ‘em aside, when I’m hitting my stride
My positivity it won’t be denied   
 
Me inspiration, and desire, yes,
They light a fire, down below
Light a Fire! Light a Fire! Light a Fire! Light a Fire!
 
Rockin to the beat, canna hold me down today,
Inspire with the vibe and with your tribe you feel alive,
Goin to the show, Immersion Summer gonna play,
Tossin’ negativity together we survive,
Write the page, the future we create,
Hike the mountain, get on the stage,
phone is the idol of the wicked, today, don’t want to be its slave
 
 
Don’t Want to Go to Work
I… don’t want to go to work
I… don’t want to go to work
 
I’m not ready for summer to be over,
Take me back, you know I need some closure
 
No I’m not ready to go, you can’t take me no way
Take me back to summertime, take back to summertime
Take me back you gotta take me away!
 
Rockin’ down to a Morro Bay town, yessah
Gonna walk to the dockside go right to the Rock, let down my hair,
Feel the wind a blow from the seaside air,
People jump up, you know you can’t stop,
I gotta half century, don’t want to drop,
Only got one life to live I gotta get it together, yessah, love and forgive
 
Allende
Los Arboles son hablando (the trees are speaking)
Los Arboles son viva (the tree are alive)
Los Arboles son hablando (the trees are speaking)
Se necisitan ayuda (They need our help)
Los Arboles son hablando (the trees are speaking)
Los Arboles son viva (the tree are alive)
Se encanta en la lluvia (they dance in the rain)
Yo no se manana (I don’t know tomorrow)
 
Yo veo a allende! (I’ll see you on the other side)
 
Yo no se, yo no se (I don’t know, I don’t know)
Yo no se, si vive (I don’t know if it will live)
Yo no se, yo no se (I don’t know, I don’t know)
Yo no se, si vivo (I don’t know if I live)
 
Surfin’ the Desert Highway
How many times have I been told? Wait around and you just grow old,
Some waves break only in the mind
Chasing swell on a baked road, waiting for a tide that never rolls,
Some waves break only in the mind
 
No ocean in sight but still I ride,
Some waves break only in the mind
No ocean in sight but still I ride,
Some waves break only in the mind
 
Lost in a canyon, can you find a way? Slippin’ sideways
Riding a black sea, someday you’ll find me
Surfin’ the Desert Highway
 
I used to ride the waves for days, but now I surf the cracks in time
Sand curls like a promise and I paddle to the sky
 
 

Setlist 3

Scorpion Point
Hey now, living in the moment
These feelings, make it hard to know
Pressure, is building
To the Ocean, let the River flow
 
Hey babe, won’t you take me
Where we’re goin’, I don’t really know
Somewhere, that’s sacred
To heal me, let my Spirit grow, Woah oh
 
23 Minutes to Freedom
Is this the way it’s got to be? My only connection through my screen?
 
When I get to sleep and I dream, my mind is racing ‘bout what I seen
Is this the fate that’s forseen, Is this the way it’s got to be? Ohh, no
 
You know it’s hard to refrain, when every minute I’m entertained. 
By algorithm we’re constrained, our engagement must be sustained! Ohhh, no
 
Oh today its routine, so many people live through a screen,
When we’re fed by a stream, is this reality ? Ohh, no
 
Back to Class
You better live up to expectations!
Back on the treadmill show your dedication!
We need you to carry just a little more.
It won’t break you!
DeadLine won’t remind another Time!
Tic toc the Clock it will never stop
 
They tell me I gotta buy buy buy now,
Debit or credit just cry cry cry now,
Who is it for? Not for me to disallow,
American Dream is not what it seems about
 
Can’t stop, we take it to the west end,
Rearrange, perceive it was new trend,
Discard, don’t need another false friend
I don’t buy into a lie of jealousy
 
Spirit Follow Me
Spirit follow me,
In your hands I’ll be,
 
Throw the mountains down,
As we climb the crown
 
May the spirit rise and be emboldened,
May the link between us be unbroken,
Won’t live a life without it all
The arrow flies before it falls
 
Mountaintop
Oh, this mountaintop, where I breathe alone
With the wheeling stars and the ancient stones
Let the world keep turning, let the fire die
I’ve got heaven right here in the black of the sky
 
Oh, my mountaintop, where the wild winds roam
And the stars sing louder than rock and roll  
Let your soul keep rocking in this endless night
I’ve got heaven right here in the black of the sky
 
Surfin’ the Desert Highway
How many times have I been told? Wait around and you just grow old,
Some waves break only in the mind
Chasing swell on a baked road, waiting for a tide that never rolls,
Some waves break only in the mind
 
No ocean in sight but still I ride,
Some waves break only in the mind
No ocean in sight but still I ride,
Some waves break only in the mind
 
Lost in a canyon, can you find a way? Slippin’ sideways
Riding a black sea, someday you’ll find me
Surfin’ the Desert Highway
 
I used to ride the waves for days, but now I surf the cracks in time
Sand curls like a promise and I paddle to the sky
