LYRICS
Na, na, na, na, na
Bits of phrases
Coming through in pieces
Hidden lyrics
Veiling what peace is
Ridden thick
Among haze
Come flooding back real quick

Na, na, na, na, na
Gone through stages
Learning what rage is
Jekyll and Hyde
Along for the ride
Ridden thick
You can’t hide
Comes flooding in real quick

LYRIC
Love less aristocrats, hypocrites
Love more soul harmony, harmlessly
All take hands
Understand

Far less acrimony, ceremony
Far more surreality and brevity

Forget the fattest cats, hypocrites
For more inclusiveness, loneliness
All take hands

LYRICS
How many shades of blue
I ask you
How many shades of blue
Tell me true
How many shades of blue
There’s a fine line
Crossing the red line
Sublime
Into purple
Read as ample red
Stumble into purple

How many shades of pink
Do you think
How many shades of pink
Do not blink
How many shades of pink
There’s a fine line
Crossing the red line
Read into red

Here’s the deal
Sign and seal
If we are to seize

Handed the keys

LYRICS
Bronze and silver
Just aren’t the same
Gold delivered
They call your name
On the pedestal
The podium of the game

Do you feel alright
Under the spotlight
Make you feel uptight
Under the spotlight
… up under the spotlight

the last sliver’s
Just not the same
The spine shivers
Called your name
On the pedestal
The podium of the game

Do you feel alright
Under the spotlight
Make you feel uptight
Under the spotlight
… up under the spotlight

bookmark_borderGames And Names

LYRICS
Stick a needle in your I
My heart hopes not to die
And, birdie, birdie in the sky
Why oh why oh why
Childhood games and names
Inside still the same
Inside we’re still the same

First comes love, then tie the knot
She loves me, loves me not
Tic-tac-toe, connect the dots
Does she know I’ve got the hots?
Childhood games and names
Inside still the same
Inside we’re still the same

Cry baby cry wipe your I
Turn to the east and west
Pants on fire… do you lie
… to the one you love best?
Childhood games and names
Inside still the same
Inside we’re still the same

bookmark_borderSlipped

LYRICS
Once I slipped, flipped
Into an alter reality
Well, at first
I found it hard to see
Knocked
And rocked
Between a hard place
Misplaced
My sanity
At least thirst
For rationality
Must have hit my head
Forgot what I said
Once I slipped, tripped
Flipped
A (k)new reality

bookmark_borderFinal Say

LYRICS
I can tell by the way that you’re walking
You’re a determined woman
I can tell by the way that you’re talking
Better not talk back again
And, I know at the end of the day
You’ll be the one with the final say

I can tell by the way that you’re swearing
Stay on the right of this woman
I can tell by the shredding and the tearing
On the rampage again
And, I know at the end of the day
You’ll be the one with the final say

I can tell by the way that you’re gawking
You’re a perturbed woman
I can tell by the way that you’re squawking
It’s time I start again
And, I know at the end of the day
You’ll be the one with the final say

LYRICS
Long distance
Need to aim high
Circumference
Gravity cry
Time drag
Motion sag
Wag the dog
And the tale of the tail
Wag the dog

The friction
On the direction
Dire
Speed and momentum
Retire
It’s going down, down, down

Need to aim high
Gravity cry
Time drag
Motion sag
Wag the dog
And the tale of the tail
Wag the dog

LYRICS
Not familiar with a vacation
I’m pressing on
Not familiar with mass depression
I’m pressing on
… press on!
Do you know how to feel good
If you could, do you think you would?

Not familiar with retardation
I’m moving on
Not familiar with stale stagnation
I’m moving on
… move on
Motion!
Do you know how to feel good
If you could, do you think you would?

LYRICS
Does the amplitude
Of the attitude
Protrude?
Is the altitude
Of the attitude
A little too high
Or a little to low
Please let me know
Just try n’ get by
Leaving low print
In the imprint
Took the hint
We call all get by
If we try
Our mood… and the amplitude of our attitude

I wonder…
I wonder how far
How far from our star
We are?
During the day
In the lightest of way
Aren’t we a wee bit closer
During the night
In the slightest way
Aren’t we a wee bit farther?

I wonder how far
How far from our star
We are?
As our star makes it’s way
Through the Milky Way
About the 3rd planet (Damn it!)
… does our distance sway?

LYRICS
If at first you don’t succeed
If at first you start to bleed
Then indeed, question the deed
To and fro
They’ve got to go
Forgot to bother how to know
It’s all for the pose n’ superfluous show
Turn on the flow
Plant one more seed
Feed the now know
Nourish to grow
Nourish let’s feed
Seed some more know

Turn on the flow
