LYRICS
Do you consider yourself outrageous
Do you consider your outrageous outright contagious?

Is your outrageous contagious in such a way that it may be spontaneous
Some spontaneous combustion

I feel it churning
The hearts are yearning

Is your outrageous contagious?
Do you consider yourself outrageous
Do you consider yourself outrageous outright contagious?

Can you gauge your outrage
About our time… about our age
You’d think the history book would have already turned the page

Yet we march
Some say stampede
We’ve got to succeed in… divin’ over the cliff
’till we’re all stiff
Over the cliff
‘tell we’re all dead and stiff

Do you consider yourself outrageous
Is your outrageous outright contagious?

The outrageous age ages us
Becoming before it’s due
Yes we do
Become old before we’re due
Yes we do

LYRICS
Do you dread what’s in your head
And when you come to
Will you think so, too?

Do you dread what’s in your head?

Well, my guess
If I were to wager
If I were to place a bet
I could just wait and see
As far as I can see
You set your own destiny

You’re better off to figure
Before you pull the trigger
You better figure it out
Don’t scream and shout

Can’t we just put it to bed?

Oh please don’t ever let me get dread locks in my head

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When insanity ceases
Gotta pick up the pieces

When the whole world comes tumbling down
Gotta pick up the pieces
When the whole world comes tumbling down
Comes tumbling down all around
When it’s found tumbling down all around

When the whole world comes tumbling down
There’s no sanity to be found
None around
When insanity ceases
Gotta pick up the pieces

Sometimes when you look out your window
It’s hard to know
If there’s anything anywhere
If there’s anyone anywhere
The wants to share
Our experience
Experience the essence

When the whole world comes tumbling down
Gotta pick up the pieces
When sanity ceases
When the tenants are paying their leases
When sanity ceases
When hostages need releases
Pick up the pieces

Laying Down The Lord.mp3

A wise friend once explained to me: in Hebrew the word “Lord” means “the Law”. The Law is: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

LYRICS
I find it hard to be
Believe
Be leave
Believe
Three kings would come to see
The birth of me
Once more… bearing “Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh”

Poor ole Pa didn’t get to poke Ma
Didn’t even get to poke Ma
Poor ole Pa

Not like I could invent “The Rule”
I’m just a fool
If you treat others like they treat you
We’ll get through
See the heavenly view?

It’s why I find it hard to be
Believe
To Believe
Believe!
Three kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
Of the likes of me

The first time ya feel all alone
When they drive the nail through the flesh and bone
Drives the point home
They drive the point home

I… I… I’d been crucified
I’d been crucified
At first I thought I’d died
Turns out… I reside
I reside
In the house of the holy Lord
In the house of the holy Mother
The holy ghost
Hope to die

I had to try
I couldn’t give up and die
Had to try

Yet, still
The freewill
Of the three kings
I just couldn’t believe
Three kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
Amazing
Three kings

I can’t tell a lie
That’s why
I try
Try, try, try
To do unto others
As I’d have ’em do to I

I try to keep in eye
As I’d have ’em do to I

LYRICS
The birth of star
How fast will the light travel… how far?

Some believe we came from stardust
Some believe we turn to stardust
Some insist it’s a must
But in between the stardust, the star shines
The star shines fine

Shine fine

Shine fine through all time
Once you emit, you’re lit
’cause your light will shine
Your light will shine fine through all time

LYRICS
If times are rough, getting too tough
Do the shuffle
Take it to the street with your happy feet
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

Got a brain fart… don’t know how to start
Do the shuffle
Do it with conviction! Do it with heart!
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

Shake it loose. Turn on the juice.
Do the shuffle
It’s not too late to participate
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

You can set thee free
Free
If it was up to me

But it’s up to you
Do you know what to do?

But if you wanna come true

You have got to set thee free

To set thee free
Open up your cage
Shed your rage

The choice is in your voice
Raise your voice and make your choice
Set thee free

We should’a already thunk
Our atmosphere ain’t fit
To breath the tiniest bit

It’s time to debunk

LYRICS
Does anybody know if this is it?
The decision of the ribbon
The decision of the rhythm
Ribbin’
Like string theory
Doesn’t have to be such a mystery
Just use your mind’s eye… I
Decypher the cypher in the sky

The decision of the ribbon
Rubbing the ribbon

More like how a butterfly flaps it’s wings
The resulting things
Chaos theory
The decision of the ribbon
The decision of the rhythm
In the chaos theory

Are there ants in your pants
The way you move n’ shake
I hadda do a double take

You’ve got the heebie jeebie

Could be a seditious quirk

Well, where’s freewill

Overcome by the beat
Leap from my seat onto my feet

It’s tiny
Itsy bitsy
Pop polka dot
Not

You’ve gotta dot your i’s and cross your t’s
Especially
If you’re at the bottom of the bin
Again and again and again

Pop polka dot

Especially
If you’re varmint kin
Again and again and again

It’s tiny
It might seem miniscule
to you all
but to us
it’s worth puttin’ up the fuss
Yeah, put up the fuss

Pop polka dot

It’s the Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

I ask why
You say why not

The dream is not?
Why not…
You might as well be drooling in snot
That’s why not

And, then just when you think you can do it again
You find out not
You’re just a pop polka dot
Not
Dot
