[Intro]

[Low Synth Drone, Spoken Vocal, Distant and Fragmented]

Listen to the water
(Do you hear it rise?)
Look across the valley
(See it with your eyes?)

Something’s moving
(Coming fast)
Something’s changing
(From the past)

[Verse 1]
Rain comes down
The ground can’t take it
Every channel fills
Who knows if we’re gonna make it—

To the bank
(Hope sank!)
Then another surge
(Splurge)
… who’s to thank?

[Pre-Chorus]
Up the creek
(Without a paddle)
Guess we’re about…
… to find out…
(There’s no way out)

[Refrain]
More surprises
(As the river rises)
Over the bank…
(Who’s to thank)

Rising higher
(Getting dire)
Higher, higher

[Verse 2]
Load it up
(Yup, up, up, up!)
Then let it pour
(Raging roar!)

[Refrain]
More surprises
(As the river rises)
Over the bank…
(Who’s to thank)

Rising higher
(Getting dire)
Higher, higher

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
Higher than yesterday
Higher than before
Water at the doorstep
Water through the door

[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam, Percussion]
[Breakdown]

Surprise!
(Rise!)

Higher!
(Dire!)

More!
(Than before!)

… coming through the door?

[Instrumental]
[Pounding drums]
[Rolling bass]
[Organ rising]

Higher…

Higher…

Higher…

[Final Refrain]
More surprises
(As the river rises)
Over the bank…
(Who’s to thank)

Rising higher
(Getting dire)
Higher, higher

More surprises
(More surprises!)

River rises
(River rises!)

Higher…

Higher…

Higher!

[Outro]
Watch the water…

(Watch it rise)

Watch the water…

(Before your eyes)

Higher…

Higher…

Dire!

From the album “Fluidization“

[Arrangement: Driving blues-rock/piano-rock with pounding drums, gritty electric guitar, Hammond organ, and a rolling bass line. Start tight and rhythmic, then build into a heavy fluidization breakdown.]

[Intro]
Piece by piece
Grain by grain
Rock and ice
In the rain

What was solid
Won’t stay still
Down the slope
Against its will

[Verse 1]
Get down to the smallest pieces
That’s where the story starts
Pebbles, sand and broken stone
Scattered parts of parts

[Refrain]
When you get down to the nitty gritty
(Granular)
Is it grand or is it a pity
(Spectacular)

A concoction
(Of debris)
Fluidization
(Headin’ for the sea)

[Verse 2]
Rock comes crashing down all around
Guess she’s breaking free
Infiltrate the fractures
Lubricate liquidity

[Refrain]
When you get down to the nitty gritty
(Granular)
Is it grand or is it a pity
(Spectacular)

A concoction
(Of debris)
Fluidization
(Headin’ for the sea)

[Bridge]

[Breakdown]
Rock!
(Rock!)
Mix it up!
(Mix it up!)
Shake it loose!
(Shake it loose!)

[Instrumental]
[Heavy guitar riff]
[Pounding piano]
[Hammond organ swell]
[Drums accelerate]

[Final Chorus]
Granular!
(Down to the grain!)
Spectacular!
(Here comes the rain!)

A concoction
(Of debris)
Fluidization
(Headin’ for the sea!)

Granular!
(Nitty gritty!)
Grandiose or a pity?
(Spectacular failure)

[Refrain]
When you get down to the nitty gritty
(Granular)
Is it grand or is it a pity
(Spectacular)

A concoction
(Of debris)
Fluidization
(Headin’ for the sea)

[Outro]
Grain by grain
Stone by stone
Water finds
It’s way home

Granular…
(Granular!)

Down to the nitty gritty…

(Headin’ for the sea!)

From the album “Fluidization“

[Arrangement: Upbeat, rolling piano-rock with a fluid bass line and organ swells. The verses build like a stream gathering speed, while the chorus becomes a big, irresistible sing-along.]

[Intro]
Up from the ocean…
(Down from the snow!)
Round and round…
(Here we go!)

[Verse 1]
She has a memory
Of every place she’s been
Mountain top to riverbed
And back around again

[Refrain]
So we’ve come to know…
(Know the flow)
There’s no saying no
(To where she’ll go)

Oh, no, no, no

[Verse 2]
Rain can fall
(Rain can pour!)
Runoff races
Out the door!

So we’ve come to know…
(Know the flow)
There’s no saying no
(To where she’ll go)

Oh, no, no, no

So we’ve come to know…
(Know the flow)
There’s no saying no
(To where she’ll go)

Oh, no, no, no

Drip…
Drop…

From the album “Fluidization“

[Arrangement: A rollicking sea-shanty-meets-piano-rock song. Accordion or Hammond organ, stomping drums, acoustic guitar, and a huge gang-vocal chorus. Starts playful and nautical, then becomes ominous and majestic.]

[Intro]

[Sound of waves]

Hoist the sail!
(No time to fail!)

Raise the mast!
(It’s a must!)

The tide is turning
(Moving fast!)

Where are we going
(… without knowing?)

[Whistle]

Goin’ to meet Neptune!

[Verse 1]
We thought we ruled the ocean
We thought we ruled the land
Built our cities on the shoreline
With a dollar in our hand

We drew ourselves a boundary
Said, “Water, stay behind!”
But the ocean never signed it
And the tide don’t read the lines

[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
(The waters flow)

Up and down
(The currents go)

What goes up
(Must come down)

[Refrain]
Goin’ to meet Neptune
(Soon, soon, soon)
Goin’ to meet Neptune
(Whistle the tune)

[Instrumental, Whistling]

Sing a sea shanty
(Whistle the tune)
Gone is our vanity
(Goin’ to meet Neptune)

[Verse 2]
Morning air is warming
The ocean takes the heat
Her crying loads the sky
And the reign fall will complete

[Refrain]
Goin’ to meet Neptune
(Soon, soon, soon)
Goin’ to meet Neptune
(Whistle the tune)

[Instrumental, Whistling]

Sing a sea shanty
(Whistle the tune)
Gone is our vanity

Nowhere to hide
(Nowhere to hide!)

We thought we owned the ocean…

But Neptune’s got the ride!

[Refrain]
Goin’ to meet Neptune
(Soon, soon, soon)
Goin’ to meet Neptune
(Whistle the tune)

[Instrumental, Whistling]

Sing a sea shanty
(Whistle the tune)
Gone is our vanity
(Goin’ to meet Neptune)

[Bridge]
Oh, Neptune, mighty Neptune
King of all the blue
We sailed upon your waters
And thought we conquered you

[Sea-shanty Breakdown]
Yo ho!
(Yo ho ho ho!)

Down we go!
(Down we go!)

Watch ‘er rise!
(Watch the flow!)

High tide!

Neptune’s hummin’…

Let it ride!

From the album “Fluidization“

[Arrangement: Driving storm-rock with pounding piano, distorted electric guitar, Hammond organ, rolling toms, and howling wind effects. Build from a tense verse into a full-force chorus.]

[Intro]
Hear it coming
(Feel the gust!)
Clouds are turning
(Into dust!)

[Verse 1]
The wind was once a servant
We put it to the task
Turned the mills and drove the ships
And never thought to ask

[Pre-Chorus]
From the mountains to the ocean
From the ocean to the sky
She keeps on moving
As the winds begin to fly

[Refrain]
Wind whipped
(A slave of the modern age)
Future shipped
(To the history page)

The wind wails
(The system fails)
The sails ripped…
(… wind whipped)

[Verse 2]
The age has got a story
Written in the pressure lines
Forged with human glory
Building catastrophic signs

[Refrain]
Wind whipped
(A slave of the modern age)
Future shipped
(To the history page)

The wind wails
(The system fails)
The sails ripped…
(… wind whipped)

Hold the line
(Hold the mast!)
Storm is coming
(Moving fast!)

[Bridge]
Who’s the master?
(Who’s the slave?)
Did we build the future
(Or dig our own grave?)

We shipped the future
For another day
Now the wind is sending
That bill… right this way

No more pretending
No more looking back
When the future races at ya…
… feel it in the track

[Breakdown]
Wind!
(Whipped!)

Round and round
The energy flows
Where it ends
Nobody knows!

[Instrumental]
[Howling wind]
[Pounding piano]
[Heavy guitar riff]
[Drums build to a full storm]

[Final Chorus]
Wind whipped!

Future shipped!
(To the history page!)

The wind wails!
(The system fails!)
The sails ripped!

Hear the wind
(Whip!)

Hear the sails
(Rip!)

The future isn’t somewhere
Far beyond the horizon

It’s here… see it happen

(Wind whipped!)

From the album “Fluidization“

[Arrangement: Driving piano-rock with pounding drums, Hammond organ swells, rolling bass, and a big call-and-response chorus. Build from ominous verses into a storm-at-sea climax.]

[Intro]
Hear that thunder?
(Out beyond!)
Feel the water?
(Rising on!)

Wind is howling through the mast
Dark clouds gathering fast
Captain’s looking to the sky
Something’s coming by and by

[Verse 1]
The barometer is falling
And the pressure’s running low
As each wave is getting taller
Nowhere left to go

[Refrain]
You heard what the captain said:
(Rough seas ahead!)
Oh, can’t you see
(The scenes reality)

Can’t we stave…
(Another tidal wave?)

[Verse 2]
Moisture fills the air
Her anger feeds the storm
There’s energy everywhere
They call it our new norm

[Chorus]
Rough seas ahead!
(Rough seas ahead!)
Hold on tight
(It’s gonna be a night!)

Rough seas ahead!
(Do you hear that dread?)
The forecast isn’t fiction
(It’s the physics up ahead!)

[Bridge]
Can we stave it off?
(Can we change the course?)
Can we slow the rise?
(Can we use the force?)

[Refrain]
You heard what the captain said:
(Rough seas ahead!)
Oh, can’t you see
(The scenes reality)

Can’t we stave…
(Another tidal wave?)

[Instrumental]
[Pounding piano and Hammond organ]
[Drums build like approaching waves]
[Wind and thunder effects]

[Final Chorus]
Rough seas ahead!
(Rough seas ahead!)
Can you see?
(The reality!)

[Refrain]
You heard what the captain said:
(Rough seas ahead!)
Oh, can’t you see
(The scenes reality)

Can’t we stave…
(Another tidal wave?)

[Outro]
Keep your eyes upon the horizon
Keep your hands upon the wheel
The storm is not nearly done
The feel is for real

Rough seas…
(Rough seas…)
Ahead!

From the album “Fluidization“

[Intro]
Drip…
(Drip…)

Drop…

Plop!

[Verse 1]
Started out solid
(Solid did)
Frozen and still
High on the mountain
Up on the hill
(Until…)

Then, drip, drip
(Drip, drip, drop)

Plop!

(Oh, no)

Watch ‘er go!

Drip turns to trickle
Trickle to stream
Stream turns to torrent
Faster than it seems

Get solid
(The liquid did)

Then gravity said:
“Come along for the ride.”

[Verse 2]
Water in the fractures
Water underground
Water between particles
Lost into the ground
(A new state found)
Fluidization

Did you see…
(The energy)
Comedy…
(Or tragedy?)

[Verse 1]
The energy is everywhere
Moving through the air
Heat is rising
Winds are flying
Water’s going who-knows-where

[Refrain]
The energy
(Is hitting me)
From every side
(Both far and wide)

A climate primate
(Getting hit)
… quite a bit.

[Chorus]
How is it hitting you?
(How is it hitting me?)
Energy
(Dramatically)

[Verse 2]
Evaporation till saturation
Pulling the heat high
(Way across the sky)
How long will it stay…
Waiting for the day

HOW IS CLIMATE ENERGY HITTING YOU?
(Tell me, do)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Fade: Guitar Feedback, Deep Bass and Distant Thunder]

The energy…

Is hitting me.

Quite a bit.
(Feel the hit)

About the Song
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.

But it can be transformed.

It can be transported.

It can be stored.

And it can be released.

The climate system is doing all four.

The question is no longer whether the energy exists.

The question is: How is that energy hitting you?
How Is Climate Energy Hitting You?

[Intro]
Cash register ringing…
(Cha-ching!)
Hear that sound?
(Going down!)

[Verse 1]
We put a price on everything
From the mountain to the sea
Put a dollar sign on tomorrow
And called it “free”

[Chorus]
Liquidation sale!
(Epic fail!)
Everything must go!
(What little we know!)

The mighty dollar
(Holler:)
Hail!
(Liquidation sale!)

Sell the future
(Sell it cheap!)
Dig it deeper
(While we sleep!)
… with the sheep

Liquidation sale!
(Going, going, gone!)
The sky is calling (falling)
We’ve been calling too long!

Heat waves in the marketplace
Floodwater through the door
Insurance walking out the back
Saying, “We don’t cover anymore”
[Chorus]

Liquidation sale!

Everything must go!

Hail!

[Instrumental Intro]
[Acoustic Guitar, Warm Piano, Bass, Light Drums, Hammond Organ; Gradually Building]

[Verse 1]
We had the moment
We had the chance
A door was open
We could’ve advanced

We saw the warning
But looked away
Thinking tomorrow
Would be another day

Time kept moving
We let it pass
Held onto shadows
And watched them last

The future whispered
But we didn’t hear
Now looking backward
The message is clear

[Refrain]
The thought still lingers
(Has the opportunity…)
Slipped through our fingers
(Should’ve thought prudently)

[Verse 2]
We measured the cost
But forgot the price
Mistook convenience
For something called nice

We waited for certainty
Before we’d decide
While uncertainty
Was standing outside

Then suddenly
Years disappear
And what seemed distant
Is already here

[Refrain]
The thought still lingers
(Has the opportunity…)
Slipped through our fingers
(Should’ve thought prudently)

[Instrumental Break]
[Electric Guitar and Hammond Organ; Piano Arpeggios; Drums Slowly Intensify]

[Bridge]
Prudence isn’t fear
It’s seeing what may come near

… knowing that tomorrow
Is built on what we’ve done

You don’t have to know
Exactly where you’ll go

You only have to recognize
The direction that you know

[Rap Vocal Break]

Opportunity!
(See reality!)

Knocking at the door!

Yesterday!
(Fades away!)

Think ahead!
(Instead)

Look around!

What we lose
May not be found!

Wait!
(Wait!)

Too late!

That’s the price
Of tempting fate!

Reach!
(Reach!)

Hold tight!

Do what’s prudent
While we’ve got the light!

[Instrumental Intro]
[Slow Blues-Rock Guitar Riff, Deep Bass, Drums, Hammond Organ; Gradually Building]

[Verse 1]
Started at the top
Didn’t think we’d move
Just a little push
Just a little groove

Gravity was waiting
Patient as can be
One little nudge
And suddenly…

We’re moving faster
Down the line
Picking up momentum
One step at a time

What looked so small
At the start of the ride
Has become something
You can’t push aside

[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
Down we go
Faster now
Than we know

What begins
As all alone
Can become
A force of its own

[Refrain]
Gonna hit ya…
(Like a rolling stone)
Ya…
(Too late to moan)

Yes, indeed…
(As it gathers speed)
The momentum…
(Is really somethin’)

Roll…
(Roll, baby, roll)
Still…
(Rolling down the hill)

[Verse 2]
All that energy
Waiting on high
Stored in the scenery
Under the sky

Then gravity says
“Let it go”
And suddenly
Watch ‘er flow

[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
Down we go
Faster now
Than we know

Mass in motion
Changes things
Momentum has
Its own set of wings

[Refrain]
Gonna hit ya…
(Like a rolling stone)
Ya…

Yes, indeed…

While the choices last…

And when the time
Gets smaller and smaller
It’s time you’ll find…

Of course…
(An enormous force)

Where does it go
When the fire dies?
Can you follow the flow
To where the energy rides?

Heat in the pavement
Wind in the trees
Water keeps moving
Across the seas

The world keeps turning
Round and around
Energy shifting
As thoughts keep drifting

[Refrain]
Oh can’t you see…
(The energy)
Can’t be created
(Or destroyed)

Exasperated
Annoyed
(… or…)

Revitalization
Deployed

[Verse 2]
A mountain holds it
High in the air
Gravity’s waiting
Potential there

Then comes the falling
Down comes the stone
Potential transforms
Into motion alone

Heat from the friction
Sound from the crash
Light from the lightning
Energy in a flash

[Pre-Chorus]
Exasperation
Can turn into drive
Annoyance can signal
That something’s alive

A setback can become
A reason to try
A spark can become
A fire in the sky

[Refrain]
Oh can’t you see…
(The energy)
Can’t be created
(Or destroyed)

Exasperated
Annoyed
(… or…)

Revitalization
Deployed

[Instrumental Break]
[Electric Guitar Riff, Hammond Organ and Driving Bass; Drums Build Into a Heavy Rhythmic Groove]

[Bridge]
You can’t make it
Out of nothing

You can’t make it
Disappear

Can you redirect it
Transform it a bit
Just to be clear…
Can you make it useful here?

[Spoken]
Anger…

Into action.

Frustration…

Let it become invention.

Exhaustion…

A beacon… a signal
that something needs to change.
(Rearrange)

[Rap Vocal Break]

Energy!
(Transforming me!)

Moving through the system!
(Yes, “I am”)

Heat!
(To the beat!)

Motion!
(Notion!)

Potential waiting
For promotion!

Stored!
(Roared!)

Released!

Changed!
(Rearranged!)

Reconfigured!
(Go figure)

Nothing lost!
(Nothing gained!)
Just not… quite the same!

… keeps
Moving on!
(And on and on and on)

Exasperated!
(Annoyed!)

Turn it into motion!

Revitalization!
(Deployed!)

Set the energy
In a new direction!

[Build]
[Drums Enter Gradually; Guitar and Hammond Rise]

Change the form!

(Change the norm!)

Change the direction!

(Change the introspection!)

Take the frustration…

And make it…

REVITALIZATION!

[Final Refrain]
Oh can’t you see…
(The energy)
Can’t be created
(Or destroyed)

Exasperated
Annoyed
(… or…)

Revitalization
Deployed

[Climactic Instrumental]
[Full Band: Massive Electric Guitar, Bass, Drums, Hammond Organ, Piano and Synth; Rising Progressive-Rock Finale]

[Spoken Over Instrumental]

The question isn’t…

Where did the energy go?

The question is…

What form did it take?
(What impression did it make)

And what will we do…
(I’m asking you)

[Final Hit]

THE ENERGY!
(Certainty)

[Outro]
[Instrumental Fade: Bass Pulse, Sustained Guitar Chord and Hammond Organ]

Can’t be created…

Can’t be destroyed…

Only transformed…

Redirected…

And…

Deployed.
