LYRICS
There’s turkey in the dining room
There’s presents under the tree
The 3rd day you’ll rise from the tomb
In a resurrection analogy
(resurrection can you see?)
And before too long you’ll remember this song
Alleluia… all… ahhhhh

It’s turnkey… pick your door
Transcending about to begin
Beyond the door… way more (weigh less)
Pass through the door… way more (or heartless?)
And you can’t go wrong singing this song
Alleluia… all… ahhhhh

If there’s a monkey on your back
You’re dancing with Mr. Jones
There’s a source for what you lack
Not involving groans and moans
Helping it a long by remembering this song
Alleluia… all… ahhhhh
Amen

LYRICS
Why do we want to make it so we twist and bleed
It’s getting harder and harder to breathe
The day has dawned “beyond so long”
Come to know “you reap, you soooo(-ed)”
Guilt in silence… not even a peep?
Is what we reap “playin’ for keeps”
Did you bet there’s no harm
Betting the farm?

Why have we made hate our destiny
Why have we made hate our legacy
The day has dawned “beyond so long”
Come to know I’m my own worst foe
Now, we’re in too deep
Playing for keep

Made a habit of destroying habitation
A destruction nation in self-annihilation
The day has dawned… so long beyond
We’re all “coming home”, I reckoned
Coming ’round the bend to…
The End

LYRICS
I overheard
It’s a record
Too much sun
Reigns on our fun
When it’s too hot
We can not
This record heat
Is beat
…2,3,4
How much more?

What we got
Is too hot
Getting difficult to endure
Any more temperature
Did you see the mercury
Going up in history
Going down! It’s misery
Absurd record
Invoke heatstroke
Add the absurdity of the humidity
Think you can sweat it?
Forget it!
Can’t compete with record heat
Na ugh-uh na uh-uh
No, can’t compete with the record heat
Na ugh-uh na uh-uh

LYRICS
Am I all alone?
Prone to ozone
Hold the phone…
I’m not alone
Don’t breathe
Grieve
Only way to relieve
don’t breathe!
Hold your breath
’till you turn blue
Hold your breath
It’s all you can do
Tropospheric
Sick, sick, sick
No singing songs
Damage the lungs
Damage prolongs
Swan song sung
In the “Ohh!” zone

ABOUT THE SONG
Q: Do you know what are two of the most dangerous exposures for children and the elderly?
A: Fresh air and sunshine

On days like today, do not go out and play. The sun can damage your skin and cause cancer.

Sunshine is also part of a deadly reaction.  When combined with heat and volatile gases, ultraviolet light causes a deadly reaction by creating  tropospheric ozone.

The dangerous ozone (O3) is created when vehicle (and other) exhaust is not completely combusted. Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in the exhaust react to temperature and sunlight creating tropospheric ozone (O3).

The ozone in the air can cause permanent damage to your respiratory and immune systems.

LYRICS
Under the loom of doom
There is gloom
Where you come to know
About the shadow
I crawled out long ago
In sight of the light
(Insight of the light)
At the end of the tunnel… our birth canal
I am optimism
I hope you hope
I am with optimism
Together we cope
Optimism, I’m comin’

Why generate a dark cloud
Self-suppression… crying out loud!
Don’t hesitate to rise about
Over-lords reigning down love
I am optimism
I hope you hope
I am with optimism
Together we cope
Optimism, I’m comin’

LYRICS
It’s your call
After all, it’s your ball
On the downfall
Going to take it all?
Earth – our great bus
Traveling through the universe
Do you want to get on with the rest of us?

You decide
How far and wide
(How long to ride?)
It’s your choice
Will you raise your voice
Earth – our cosmic train
Wanna get off or wanna remain
Don’t want to fail… don’t want to derail
What the heck? No train wreck!

{interlude}

Earth – meant our movement
How will we spend every moment
Let’s set sail toward prevail
And the ending of a happy fairy tale
(… and they lived happily ever after.)

We’ll know when o begin
As stars fall from heaven
We’ll know when the time arrives
A ratio of dies to lives
When the judgement comes due
That’s when we’ll follow through
Courageous love
Contagious love
Out-rage-us love
We’ll know just what to do
Good God! Let’s make love

In reality, making love with our deity
Take Her by the hand
Understand
Making love
Imagine, in Her image
A birth passage
Above creativity love
Less forsaking… more love making
I feel like making love with you

LYRICS
A light bulb went on in my head
Thinking over what was said
I do believe, my dear
We’ll come up with an idea
Let’s get together
Discuss what’s forever
The levity of our brevity
Vs. our boundless energy

A spark to light up the night
Spark the dark… make it bright
I do believe, my dear
We’ll come up with an idea

The biggest deal since the wheel
They said better than sliced bread
See what the though brought
Giving birth to peace on Earth
I think before you blink
I think we all can think
I do believe, my dear
We’ll come up with an idea
Let’s get together
Discuss what’s forever
The levity of our brevity
Vs. our boundless energy

LYRICS
When you are the President
Please don’t set the precedent of denying… denying denying
When you are the President
Please don’t set the precedent of lying… denying lying
World peace cease… situation dire
When the whole world knows you’re a liar
Citizen cries over “White House Lies”
You’re a liar
Foreign nation population tries but dies
You’re a liar

Hear the cries from all over the world
Here and now you’ve been told
You’re a liar
Fiddle all night by the fire’s light
To the delight of the people’s fright
You’re a liar
Nero, you’re no hero
From 1-10… zero
Won’t you please go blow
(Go below. Go be low. You know… go blow)

In a crowded theater when there’s no one near it
Everyone can hear it… yelling, “Fire!”
You’re a liar
We should impeach over freedom of speech
You’re a liar

LYRICS
An eye for an eye… a tooth for a tooth
You call that telling the truth
An I for an I… in revenge we cry
Until death! We’re all going to die

Love from Venus, wars from Mars
The consequence of battle scars
The more we forget, the more we regret
Might as well get up and get at it

Love from us, ours is yours
The consequence of open doors
The more we explore, the more “will” / we’ll endure
We can see much is still in store

Love from Venus, wars from Mars
Earthlings, what is ours?
The more we protect, the more we project
A legacy they’ll never forget

You know that I’m right here for you
You know that I’ll always be
When 6 feet of dirt cover my view
Make the most of the ghost in me

When my ashes turn to dust, you must
Know in my soul you can trust (a must)
When my body no longer can be
Make the most of the ghost in me

When I kick the bucket
Don’t say “#uck it!”
Don’t need “I’s”/eyes for me to see
Make the most of the ghost in me

We can be happily
Everafter
No last chapter
Everafter
We can be
Eternity

LYRICS
Sunshine pours over my body
Feel it as it flows
Breeze flows past my body
Which way the wind blows
(Any way the wind blows
Anyway the wind blows)
Fresh air pours into my body
Flows from nose to toes
Time passes past my body
Watch it as it goes
I appreciate the days
All the different ways
Life wonders amaze

Freedom runs through my spirit
Baptism’s water bears it
Revolution song soothes my soul
Music fills my ear… can you hear it?
Nature’s calling… can you hear her?
Wants to hold us dearer
Message couldn’t be clearer
Charity’s chariot draws nearer
I appreciate the days
All the different ways
Life wonders amaze

LYRICS
Good grief?
Like pulling teeth
Disbelief
Pulling teeth
(Open wide! You can’t hide!)
The sound of the drill
Makes me ill
When you see the bill
Feel ill still
Get the grind
Out of mind
Try to find
Someone kind
The gravity of a cavity
Weighs me down
Dental crown
King clown
Phew! Relief
Not pulling teeth
Glad the Dr. could
Say “Looking good”

LYRICS
Different? OK!
Indifferent? No way!
If you don’t care to care
This is going nowhere
The fashion of compassion is no fad
Imagine how you’d feel if you never “had”
Never had… never had had
If yo never had clean water, would it matter?
If you were cold and hungry how indifferent would you be?
If the clothes you chose weren’t a choice
Would you raise your voice
Against indifference
I’ll have one of those
And make a difference
My stance — make a difference
This instance
Any circumstance
Make a difference
