LYRICS
I couldn’t even trace your face
I feel so out of place

So, out of place
So long since I’ve seen your face

Part 1
I’d love to trace your face
But there’s been no trace of your face
Would have loved to trace your face

Would love to trace your face
I feel so out of place
Since your face can’t be traced
Gone
Dog gone

Would love to trace your face
Been so long without a trace
I feel out of place

We’d love to trace your face

Been so long
Been too long
Been, been, been… way to long
Now you’re immortalized in song
Now you’re immortalized in this song

(sounds like someone is knocking at the windows
Come out of the shadows)

LYRICS
There seems to be something missing in the middle of our mission
It starts at the heart
There’s something missing in the middle of our mission
Seems to start right at the heart

Something missing in the middle of our mission
Look at that
It starts right at the heart

Guess you don’t know about the glow?
You’d think we’d know about the glow

Something missing in the middle of our mission
Ain’t feelin’ much like fishin’
They can wait to cast my bait
I already know
It starts at the heart
I know it’s with the flow
It starts at the heart
There ain’t no glow!
It starts at the heart

The glow flow starts at the heart

Do you think the chorus is all of us?
Can you bring on the sing?
Bring on the sing

Oh,
I get it….
Ooooooooh I get it

Solution to the puzzle
Take off the muzzle
I see
Freedom of speech isn’t free
If the word isn’t spoken
And the slumbered woken

I get it
Tell the world what it’s about
What it is we’ve figured out

I can see
Freedom of speech isn’t free
When enslaved
It takes a human to behave
Soooo please don’t save
Your contribution
To the solution
Of the puzzle
Take off the muzzle

LYRICS
Skip to my lou my darling
Do you know how to do-si-do
Promenade home
All the way home
(You’re always at home)

Dancing the dance of the living
… with you where ever you go
Promenade home
All the way home
(You’re always at home)

Swing your heart blur round and round
’till your true love you have found
Promenade home
All the way home
(You’re always at home)

Put your left ventricle in
Put your ventricle out
Turn yourself about
Take your heart for a spin
Promenade home
All the way home
(You’re always at home)

There’s so many ways
To dance through your days
… your dancing days

Promenade home
All the way home
(You’re always at home)

LYRICS
This is a soundcheck
For an instrumental… I guess
We plan on turning down the microphones so you don’t hear the sounds of an actual musician playing the instruments

Since this is only a soundcheck, we’re going to try for a surround-sound sound

Sorry, I forgot this is just a soundcheck and I’ve gotta check
For the flow glow
For the glow flow
Don’t let the people stand in the way every day
Let the flow glow grow

I really think you
Have it in you
I do
Heaven in you
I think there’s heaven in you
And, I believe you can help relieve
Give aid
You can help save
Not that you’re meant to be a savior
’cause you’re too late
As a matter of fact
That didn’t work

Nevertheless, all the mess
You need not confess
Want to make it clear
That’s not what we’re looking for here
Nevertheless
I believe you have it in you
So, come on… let’s see what we can do

Yes, I guess
You’ve got it in you
It’s true
You’ve got it in you
It’s true
Now, watcha gonna do

Tidal Wave Goodbye.mp3

LYRICS
The ebb and flow
Of the tide do you know
Which way it’s going to go
Do you know if it’s going high
Or is it going low

Coming in or going out

I’m just trying to find out what it’s all about
If I’m going to ride the tide to the other side
Figure I better stop looking inside
And start exploring out
See if I can find out what it’s about

So, I was just wondering if you know
About the ebb and flow
If you know which way the tide is going to go

Going high or going low

So if you can just give me the heads up on when the tides up
I would like to partake in the participation of ridin’ the time
Surfs up
Come ride the tide
Surfs up
That’s what’s up

Why Do Ya Gotta a Gallbladder?.mp3

LYRICS
Why do you gotta gallbladder?
As you climb up the evolutionary ladder
Why do you still have a gallbladder

We’re still looking for intelligent life

As you climb the evolutionary ladder
Sadder?
Gladder?
Why do you have a gallbladder?

From what I heard about a purple haze
People use to hang out and graze
Not like we were sittin’ on our asses
When we’re grazing on the grasses
’cause
chewing cud
for days
For days being dazed
We’d graze

Which brings it right back around to the center of your human being
You’ve got this gallbladder
And on your evolutionary ladder
Your race
In this space
Your outer space
This is Earth
Your birth
Your birth is a human
So as long as you can
Fess up

Which brings us around again to you and all your kin
Which I imagine must be me
As you can see
You’ve got a gallbladder
Why do you gotta gallbladder?

This ain’t about a social ladder
This is about your gallbladder

LYRICS
I hear your name is Dan
And, you’re the man with the plan
Would you say it again
Over and over again

I hear your name is Dan
You’re the man with the plan
Would you tell me again
I’m a lil’ slow ya know
Can’t take it all in

I know where we’ve been
But, I’m having trouble with where to begin
The plan, Dan
For man, Dan
The plan, Dan
For man, Dan

Dan you’re the man with the plan
Would you let us in
And, say it again
’cause I’m a lil’ slow ya know
And, I really can’t take it in
I can’t bare it with a grin
So, tell us again
Please would you say it again and again and again
It’s not like we’ll listen
Would you say it again

So, if you don’t mind as to be so kind
If you could go over it again and again and again
Because the human sin… well, I’ve heard I’ve been forgiven
So I can do it again
Over and over and over again
So if you’re just going to bring… just going to spring
This thing on me now
Somehow,
I’m suppose to be responsible for all that I am able…
To be
Well, golly
It’s seems like… ya, know… a lot of work
Not to be such a jerk

This is Dan with the plan
I’m a man
A human
I can understand that we’ve got to make a change
But there’s a few individuals that want to gobble it all
Gobble it all up
’till there’s none left for the rest of us

So, this is Dan the man with the plan
The human
Trying to explain the gap in the synapse
Trying to re-arrange the brain
The membrane
The rationality
Sensibility
Responsibility
For both you and me
Or we’re all going to cease to be
(That’s something none of us want to see)
Wake the F#$% up

If you’re feeling the day-to-day is drudgery
Just another cog in the human factory
Maybe it’s time to wake up and see

If you’re feeling the day-to-day is drudgery
Maybe it’s time for a new recipe
Where we wake up and see

Maybe it’s not too late to get out and see
Get up, get out… be all you can be
