LYRICS
Don’t have a heart attack
Nor a stroke
Immunity’s out of whack
And that’s no joke
This change sure is strange
Times far beyond bizarre
This disease is nothing to sneeze at
Knee-jerk reaction
Gut over brain to combat
Immune system satisfaction
Times far beyond bizarre
My jaw left ajar

LYRICS
Things are getting…
Things are getting really…
Things are getting really really…
Things are getting really really really really really really…
Weird
Going off half-baked
The Giant you arouse to awake
Startled, dazed, confused
Stampede we’ll concede
Battered, bruised
Hold close those endeared
’cause things are getting weird
… really, really
For some endeared
Are getting smeared
Tell me that ain’t really, really weird
In the thick of panic!
Brazen bizarre
You’ve gone too far
Woke the sleeping giant
In the thick of panic!
Causing a riot
Trampled underfoot
Civilization kaput

LYRICS
Shall we go
Yes and know
Here we go
2 from fro
Keep your hands and feet
Inside the car
Remain in your seat
It gets bizarre
If things should get rough
Beyond a bumpy ride
Have to hang tough
It will subside
No need for despair
You know that I care
So are you aware
We’re almost there

LYRICS
Just when I thought
Things were getting weird
Out walks a lady
Sporting a beard
All our features re-arrange(d)
Getting strange
Range into strange
Just when I thought
Things were #ucked-up
In walks a man
Dressed as a duck
All our features re-arrange(d)
Getting strange
Range into strange
Just when I thought
Things were on the mend
In walks I…
Not knowing why
All our features re-arrange(d)
Getting strange
Range into strange

From the album Regenerate
LYRICS
Proven once again
Truth is stranger than fiction
Yet, my reaction
Disbelief cloaked in grief
Proven again
Proven once again
That karma is your kin
Justice is amongst us
Relief stoked in belief
Proven again
Doing what you’re told
The story grows old
Time to take responsibility
For you society

LYRICS
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my destiny
To clearly see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow the star
No gold, frankincense or myrrh
Who could ask for more
Though I’m not a wealthy king
In the heart, all of my love I bring
How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my odyssey
To finally see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow the star
(chorus)

LYRICS
Is it up… to the little things
To trip you…

Somehow got to be now
Obstinate to obstacles
Laugh if it tickles
Hammered to sickles

LYRICS
So far
It just gets more bizarre
You’re not kidding
The proof is in the pudding
A fact’s a fact
And that’s that
Once it’s gone
Can’t get it back
The fool lost his cool
Misplaced his mental tool
Now, it’s starting to dawn
Everybody keep your calm
The longer you grow old
The less thought is bold

I’m more like you
You know it’s true
More like you
Not a matter of “want to”

As for love, true
Through and through
Not just animal
Both mammal
Hair and teats
Deeds and feats

LYRICS
Found the Czar of Bizarre
Driving by in a car
So I thought they’re put
When one comes by on foot
No matter where you are
Nearer by far
Found the Czar of Bizarre
Riding by on a bike
Call a ball or strike
Out by far far out
No matter where you are
Nearer by far
Found the Czar of Bizarre
Standing right with me
Tell me could it be
(Is it a possibility?)
I’m not far from czar
No matter where you are
Nearer by far
Queerer the star
Above subpar
Nearer by far

Written between the corners of Market, High, Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA — Gay Church
LYRICS
We see the leaf leaves the tree
I mean extreme weather spills blood
About the drought…
Then…
Another flood
And, yet, so far…
You don’t find it bizarre?
It’s hard to avoid Mr. Floyd
Sold his guitar…
For charity…
For clarity
Heartfelt
Meant for the environment
And, yet, so far…
You don’t find it bizarre?
The dog sled running out of ice bed
Fan the flames of the wildfire
Dow we have a higher desire?
And, yet, so far…
You don’t find it bizarre?
Not less surprising
The sea level’s rising
You know “tornado”
… hurricane’s insane
With pollution so thick
It’s making you sick
Enter your head: “We’re almost dead!”
And, yet, so far…
You don’t find it bizarre?

LYRICS
The fear of fear
Phobiaphobia
Does it get ya
Is it near
Have I realized
I’m paralyzed
Out on the ledge
Overlooking the edge
Get a grip
Stiff upper lip
The fear of fear
Phobiaphobia
Encyclopedia
Of the queer
Out on the ledge
Overlooking the edge
The more I know
The more I know the less I know
Have know fear
Of the unknown
Cover blown
Out of the closet
Out of the dark
Moves the farthest
Beyond
Embark

From the album Premortem
LYRICS
Sometimes you’ve got to wonder
Purposeful blunder?
But, why “on God’s green Earth”
would the idea be given birth?
Strange days indeed
Self-inflicted bleed
Derange strays to impede
So conflicted plead
Secede
Let us leave
Let us be
Can’t you see the need?

From the album Blown Away
LYRICS
Amazingly interesting
Doing the same old thing
Abstaining from ubiquity
In favor of obscurity
The fruit is ripe
Upon the vine
If you’re going to pick it
Now’s the time
Lived up to the hype
Turned on the love spigot
Spilling the wine
To a nursery rhyme
Unbrazenly interjecting
Inherent… I’m speculating
Heavenly subsistence
A lovingly influence

From the album Blown Away
LYRICS
Wipe that smile right of my face?
Imply I lace disgrace
Upon the entire human race
At least a taste of grace?
(In our space)
Seems this deems the high beams
Where you’re throwing shadows
We’re casting light
Now we just might
Brighten the tomorrows
Might shine the light
(sigh) I’m on high!
Be a saint and paint a smile
Make it wide… a country mile
Steaming and beaming from ear-to-ear
Lighting up everything far and near
Absurd actions speak louder than your word
Then, which is mightier… pen or sword?
No matter how you slice and dice
We’d all be better off thinking twice
