From the album “Full Blown“

Full Blown

[Intro]
Full blown?
(Hey! We’re ya goin’)

[Verse 1]
Down the road
(Where does it go?)
Carryin’ a load
(How would I know?)

One foot out
(Then another)
No more doubt
(Here we go, brother!)

You can stay right here
(Where it’s safe and sound)
Or take that first step
(And see what can be found)

[Refrain]
Goin’ without knowin’
(Full blown!)
Outta your comfort zone
(You make it… you own)
Full blown!

[Verse 2]
Full blown!
(What does that mean?)
A little bit crazy
(A little extreme!)

A thought in motion
(A notion takes flight)
A spark of curiosity
(Turnin’ into light)

[Chorus]
Full blown!
(Let it roll!)
Full blown!
(Lose control!)

Break that mold
(Find your way)
Don’t wait for someday
(Do it today!)

[Refrain]
Goin’ without knowin’
(Full blown!)
Outta your comfort zone
(You make it… you own)
Full blown!

[Bridge]
Where are you going?
(I dunno!)

Why are we going?
(I wanna know!)

Take a chance
(Join the dance!)
Make a move
(Find the groove!)
Hold the phone…
(Full blown!)

[Break]
Hey!
(We’re ya goin’?)
Forward!
(Full blown!)
Toward…
(A new home)
Flown!

[Final Chorus]
Full blown!
(Let it roll!)
Full blown!
(Free your soul!)

Outta your comfort zone
(You made it… you own)
Full blown!

[Final Refrain]
Goin’ without knowin’
(Full blown!)
Outta your comfort zone
(You make it… you own)
Full blown!

Full blown!
(Here we go!)
Full blown!
(How far? I dunno!)

Full blown!
(Keep moving on!)
Full blown!
(Till the break of dawn!)

[Outro]
Full blown?
(Hey! We’re ya goin’)
I dunno…
(But I’m goin’!)

Full blown!

That Speaker

[Intro]
Turn it up
(Louder!)
Can you hear?
(Or not that clear?)

A little buzz
(A little hiss)
A little something
(You can’t miss)

[Verse 1]
There’s a voice in the room
But I can’t tell where
It seems to be coming
(From out of nowhere)

Turn the dial
(Let it roll)
Feel the rhythm
(In your soul)

The signal’s breaking
The wires are shaking
Something’s coming through
(But what does it mean to you?)

[Refrain]
That speaker
(Is fully blown)
Sound seeker
(Hear the unknown)

[Verse 2]
Static in the signal
Distortion in the air
A little bit of chaos
(Turned amiss right there)

Turn it up louder
(What did you hear?)
Turn it down softer
(The message disappears)

[Chorus]
That speaker!
(Is fully blown!)
Sound seeker!
(Hear the unknown!)

Can you hear it?
(Can you hear?)

Can you feel it?
(Blown… oh I fear?)

Something in the silence
(Something in the tone)
Something waiting
(To be known)

[Bridge]
That speaker
(Is fully blown)
Sound seeker
(Hear the unknown)

[Break]
That speaker…
(Fully blown!)

What happened?
(Too much sound!)

Sound seeker…
(Couldn’t take the pound!)

What’s that?
(The unknown!)
… fully blown

[Final Chorus]
That speaker!
(Is fully blown!)
Sound seeker!
(Hear the unknown!)

Turn it up!
(Turn it down!)
Feedback bound!
(Search around!)

[Final Refrain]
That speaker
(Is fully blown)
Sound seeker
(Hear the unknown)

That speaker!
(It’s fully blown!)
Sound seeker!
(Better keep goin’!)

[Outro]
Shhh…

(Listen.)

What was that?

(The unknown…)

… completely blown.

Disease

[Intro]
What’s that sound?
(Coming around)
Something’s wrong
(It’s been too long)

A warning sign
(Out of line)
A little chill
(A greater ill)

[Verse 1]
You don’t notice at first
It’s a little bit strange
A subtle little symptom
(A signal of change)

You tell yourself
(Don’t be sad)
You tell yourself
(It’s nothing bad)

[Refrain]
It’s well known…
(The disease)
Is… full blown
(Systems seize)

That kind of ill…
(Will kill)

[Verse 2]
The warning was there
But nobody heard
Buried in noise
(Beneath every word)

The signal got stronger
The symptoms spread
What could have been treated
(Was left for dead)

[Refrain]
It’s well known…
(The disease)
Is… full blown
(Systems seize)

That kind of ill…
(Will kill)

[Bridge]
What spreads?
(The disease!)

Who dreads?
(The disease!)

When feedback feeds feedback
And stress feeds stress
The system’s a mess…
(From strain to distress)

[Break]
Well known…
(Well known!)

Full blown…
(Full blown!)

Systems seize…
(Systems seize!)

That kind of ill…
(Will kill!)

[Final Refrain]
Well known
(The disease)
Is… full blown
(Systems seize)

[Outro]
That kind of ill…
(Will kill)

Well known…
(The disease!)

Full blown…
(Systems seize!)

That kind of ill…
(Will kill!)

It Ain’t Over?

[Intro]
Is it over?
(Over what?)
Is it blown?
(Is it known?)

[Verse 1]
One says “Nothing”
(Another says “All”)
One says “Stand tall”
(Another says “Fall”)

The signs may be subtle
(The signals may fade)
But what looks like nothing
(Can become a cascade)

[Refrain]
Is it known
(Over blown?)
Soon to discover
(If it’s over…)
Blown!

Are you sure…
(It ain’t over blown?)
Our future…
(Soon to own)

[Verse 2]
Maybe it’s nothing
(Maybe it’s not)
Maybe the warning
(Is all that we’ve got)

As the feedback feeds feedback
(And change feeds change)
What once seemed familiar
(Can suddenly feel strange)

The question isn’t simply
“Is something going wrong?”
It’s how fast it’s changing…
(And how long?)

[Refrain]
Is it known
(Over blown?)
Soon to discover
(If it’s over…)
Blown!

Are you sure…
(It ain’t over blown?)
Our future…
(Soon to own)

[Bridge]
Known?
(Unknown!)

Sure?
(Not sure!)

Over?
(Not yet!)

Blown?
(It’s anybody’s bet)

[Break]
Is it over?
(No!)

Is it blown?
(Know!)

Have you seen
(The scene?)

Look!
(Mistook?)

[Final Refrain]
Is it known
(Over blown?)
Soon to discover
(If it’s over…)
Blown!

Are you sure…
(It ain’t over blown?)
Our future…
(Soon to own)

End of the show?
(I dunno!)

It’s blown…
(Well shown!)

[Outro]
Is it known
(Over blown?)
Soon to discover
(If it’s over…)
Blown!

You can be sure…
… our future…
(We’ll soon own)

The Yell Fell

[Intro]
Can you hear me?
(Can you hear?)
I’m talking louder
(But nobody’s near)

I sent the message
(I made it clear)
But somehow the meaning
(Just disappeared)

[Verse 1]
The warning came early
(It came again)
A whisper in the hallway
(A shout in the wind)

I tried to explain it
(I tried to be heard)
But silence answered
(Before a single word)

Some wanted comfort
(Some wanted proof)
Some closed the window
(To keep out the truth)

And when the voice grew louder
(What did they do?)
They turned away
(Well… will you, too?)

[Refrain]
The yell fell
(On deaf ears)
Wanting cheers
(Getting jeers)

[Verse 2]
A message isn’t magic
(And truth ain’t always sweet)
Sometimes what you need to hear
(Is what you least want to meet)

The louder that I shouted
(The harder they resisted)
The more they called it nonsense
(The more the point was missed)

[Refrain]
The yell fell
(On deaf ears)
Wanting cheers
(Getting jeers)

[Bridge]
Hear me!
(Clearly)

Don’t smear me!
(Or cheer me!)

Just listen…
(Ask why!)
You have failed…
(To even try)

[Break]
The yell fell!
(On deaf ears!)
Wanting cheers!
(Getting jeers!)

But if nobody listens…
(What happens next?)

If nobody asks…
(What’s left?)

[Final Refrain]
The yell fell
(On deaf ears)
Wanting cheers
(Getting jeers)

The yell fell…
(But the message remains)

Wanting cheers…
(Hoping for gains)

[Outro]
Scream:
(The dream!)
Open ears
(Calming fears)

Scream:
(The scene!)
Dream it green

On Our Own

[Intro]
Where do we go?
(Anybody know?)
Who do we call?
(There goes it all)

The lights go out
(The power’s gone)
We look around
(And carry on)

[Verse 1]
They told us they had answers
(They told us they knew)
They drew up all the plans
(And told us what to do)

But when the trouble started
(When the pressure came)
The people in the towers
(Couldn’t play the game)

[Pre-Chorus]
Who’s gonna fix it?
(Who’s gonna know?)
Who’s gonna lead us?
(Where do we go?)

[Refrain]
Left us all alone
(Guess we’re on our own)
The elite
(Left the street)
Couldn’t compete
(With the beat)

[Verse 2]
The street keeps moving
(The street survives)
People find a way
(To keep their lives)

A neighbor brings a bucket
(Another brings some food)
Crankin’ up a ruckus
(We’re all in the mood)

Not for money
(Not for fame)
Not because somebody
(Told them who’s to blame)

Just a little human instinct
(A little common sense)
When everything gets difficult
(You build a new defense)

[Refrain]
Left us all alone
(Guess we’re on our own)
The elite
(Left the street)
Couldn’t compete
(With the beat)

[Bridge]
Who’s got water?
(I do!)
Who’s got shelter?
(How ’bout you?)

Who’s got knowledge?
(I do!)
Who’s got love?
(How ’bout you?)

[Break]
Left us all alone!
(Guess we’re on our own!)
But look around…
(Look what’s found)
… when we’re all love bound

[Final Refrain]
Left us all alone
(Guess we’re on our own)
The elite
(Left the street)
Couldn’t compete
(With the beat)

Left us all alone…
(Guess we’re on our own…)

But the street…
(Still has a beat)
Couldn’t compete?
(We’ll complete!)

Dance to the beat!
(Bringin’ on the heat!)

[Outro]
On our own…
(On our own…)
Not alone…
(Not alone…)

Beat by beat…
(Street by street…)

We carry on.
(On and on and on)

Windblown

[Intro]
Where did it go?
(Where did it fly?)
Caught by the wind
(Into the sky)

Round and around
(The pieces are spinning)
Lost in the current
(Is anyone winning?)

[Verse 1]
A little bit here
(A little bit there)
Blown from the ground
(Into the air)

Tattered old pages
(Torn at the seam)
Fragments of yesterday
(Fragments of a dream)

Scattered like leaves
(Across every mile)
Worn by the journey
(… carried a while)

[Refrain]
Windblown
(Tattered… torn)
Into the unknown
(Scattered… worn)

[Verse 2]
The wind doesn’t ask
(What you believe)
It picks up the pieces
(And makes them leave)

What seemed permanent
(Did suddenly move)
What seemed so certain
(Can suddenly prove)

That what was fixed
(Isn’t still)
The wind has a way
(Of changing the deal)

[Refrain]
Windblown
(Tattered… torn)
Into the unknown
(Scattered… worn)

Round and around
(The currents collide)
Nothing to hold
(Nowhere to hide)

[Bridge]
Blown away!
(Blown of your throne!)

Thrown away!
(No, just can’t stay!)

Tattered…
(Torn…)

Scattered…
(Worn…)

[Break]
Windblown!
(Where are we going?)

Unknown!
(Fully not knowing!)

Tattered!
(Torn!)

Scattered!
(Worn!)

[Final Refrain]
Windblown
(Tattered… torn)
Into the unknown
(Scattered… worn)

Windblown…
(Where will it go?)

Into the unknown…
(Does anyone know?)

[Outro]
Blown…
(Into the unknown.)

Singing in the Reign

[Intro]
Hear that rain?
(Here again?)
Feel that wind?
(Where’s it been?)

Clouds roll in
(The day grows dim)
But through the gray…
(We sing anyway)

[Verse 1]
Drops on the window
(Rhythm on the roof)
Storm clouds gathering
(That’s all the proof)

Thunder rolls
(Deep and low)
Lightning flashes
(Here we go)

You can’t stop the weather
(You can’t stop the rain)
But you can choose
(How to sing through the pain)

When the skies turn dark
(And the waters rise)
Keep a little hope
(Behind your eyes)

[Refrain]
Just singing in the reign
(Wailing in the pain)
Oh, whoa the woe
(Oh woe, know no)

We can rise above
(Bringing in the love)

[Verse 2]
The river keeps moving
(The current runs strong)
You can fight the water
(Or learn to swim along)

Bring on compassion
(On a path to repair)
A little less fear
(A lot more care)

[Refrain]
Just singing in the reign
(Wailing in the pain)
Oh, whoa the woe
(Oh woe, know no)

We can rise above
(Bringing in the love)

[Bridge]
Sing!
(Bring!)

When the rain comes down
(Sing the sound)

Love!
(Love!)

When the world spins round
(Love!)

Rise!
(Above!)

[Break]
Oh, whoa!
(The woe!)

Oh, no!
(Know no!)

Don’t let the sorrow
(Become the song)

Don’t let the darkness
(Go on and on)

If we’re gonna reign…
(Let love rule!)

If we’re gonna rise…
(Avoid the fool)

[Final Chorus]
Singing in the reign!
(Still singing in the reign!)
Wailing in the pain!
(But love can ease the strain!)

Oh, whoa the woe!
(Oh woe, know no!)

We can rise above
(Bringing on the love)

Rise above!
(Shine some love!)

[Final Refrain]
Just singing in the reign
(Wailing in the pain)
Oh, whoa the woe
(Oh woe, know no)

We can rise above
(Bringing in the love)

Just singing…
(Singing!)

In the reign…
(In the reign!)

While bringing on…
(The love!)

[Outro]
Let it rain…
(Let it rain)

Let it pour…
(Let it pour)

But don’t let the pain…
(Be the final score)

Sing in the reign…
(Sing in the reign)

And let love…
(Rise above)

Beyond the Great Unknown

[Intro]
Where ya been?
(Where ya goin’?)
What’s ahead?
(Is there any knowin’)

Take a step…
(Take a chance)
Feel the beat…
(And make it dance)

[Verse 1]
There’s a road that ain’t been taken
There’s a song that ain’t been sung
There’s a world that’s still awakenin’
Waiting for the morning sun

No map to tell us where to wander
No sign to say which way is right
But every step can take us farther
Out of the shadow into the light

[Refrain]
We’re goin’ for a stroll
(Beyond the great unknown)
The future of rock n’ roll
(For the first time shown)

The light
(Shine)
Oh so fine
(Shine, shine, shine)

The light
(Shone)
Where we’re goin’…
(… beyond the great unknown)

[Verse 2]
Perhaps a little crazy
Is the way to go
If you wait until you’re ready
You may never really know

There’s a rhythm in the thunder
There’s a heartbeat in the ground
When you stop and start to wonder
You can hear a brand-new sound

[Chorus]
Rock n’ roll!
(Go beyond!)
Rock n’ roll!
(Keep movin’ on!)

Past the edge
(Past the line)
Into something
(Undefined)

[Refrain]
We’re goin’ for a stroll
(Beyond the great unknown)
The future of rock n’ roll
(For the first time shown)

The light
(Shine)
Oh so fine
(Shine, shine, shine)

The light
(Shone)
Where we’re goin’…
(… beyond the great unknown)

[Bridge]
The unknown!
(Full blown!)
The unknown!
(Great unknown!)

You come to know
(Where we’re goin’)
As we go…
(Time is flowin’)

One more step!
(One more!)
One more beat!
(Encore!)

[Break]
Hey!
(HEY!)

Where ya goin’?
(Where the light’s showin’!)

What’s it about?
(We’ll find out!)
Shout!

Shine
(Shone)

[Pre-Chorus]
Leave the door
(Leave it wide)
Feel the beat
(Feel inside)

Hear that sound?
(That’s the call)
Come on now…
(Give it your all!)

[Final Refrain]
We’re goin’ for a stroll
(Beyond the great unknown)
The future of rock n’ roll
(For the first time shown)

The light
(Shine)
Oh so fine
(Shine, shine, shine)

The light
(Shone)
Where we’re goin’…
(… beyond the great unknown)

[Outro]
Beyond…
(Beyond!)

The great…
(Shine)
Shone

The light…
(Shine!)
Shone

So bright…
(Shone!)
Shine
(Shine, shine, shone)

Flat on One Side

[Intro]
Hey!
(What’s that sound?)
Thump-thump…
(Round and round)

Something’s wrong
(But we keep ridin’)
Something’s low
(No more hidin’)

[Verse 1]
I felt a wobble in the middle of the night
Thought maybe something wasn’t quite right
Kept on rolling, thinking it would disappear
But every mile made the problem more clear

You can polish up the rim
(You can shine it bright)
But a flat little secret
Won’t stay outta sight

[Pre-Chorus]
One side’s down
(One side’s low)
One side’s up
(Where’d it go?)

Spin that wheel
(Turn it ’round)
Funny thing…
(No hole can be found)

[Refrain]
Is that tire flat?
(Only on one side)

So that’s where we’re at…
(Can’t hide the snide)

Blew a tire
(Knew it was dire)
No, you can’t hide
(What you can’t ride)

[Verse 2]
You can pump it up
(Up, up, up)
You can talk it down
(Down, down, down)
You can try n’ spin it round

But when the rubber meets the road
When the pressure starts to fall
Your secret will explode
When you turn it round… after all

[Chorus]
Flat on one side!
(Flat on one side!)
Rolling ain’t riding
(When the wheel won’t glide)

[Refrain]
Is that tire flat?
(Only on one side)

So that’s where we’re at…
(Can’t hide the snide)

Blew a tire
(Knew it was dire)
No, you can’t hide
(What you can’t ride)

[Bridge]
If it’s flat…
(Fix that!)
If it’s broken…
(Get it stokin’)

‘Cause pretending
(Doesn’t roll!)
And denial
(Takes its toll!)

[Break]
Is it flat?
(Yeah!)

On one side?
(Yeah!)

Can ya ride?
(Know?)
Oh, no, no, no, no

Can ya hide?
(No! Can’t ride)

[Final Refrain]
Is that tire flat?
(Only on one side)

So that’s where we’re at…
(Can’t hide the snide)

Blew a tire
(Knew it was dire)
No, you can’t hide
(What you can’t ride)

[Outro]
Flat…
(That’s where we’re at)

No matter how you roll…
(The hole took a toll)
No, no she won’t roll

Where Ya Goin’?

[Intro]
Hey!
(Hey!)

Where ya goin’?
(Are ya showin’?)

Got a scope?
(Nope!)

Got a plan?
(Ah, man!)

Well then…
(Let’s go!)

[Verse 1]
There’s a road in front of me
(And another to the right)
One goes toward the mountain
(One disappears from sight)

Could ask somebody
(Which way should I go?)
Could wait for a sign
(To reveal and show)

[Refrain]
Hey! Say…
(Where ya goin’?)
Any way…
(Without knowin’)

Anyway…
(We’ve got the day)

[Verse 2]
The future isn’t written
(At least before it’s gone)
The choice becomes a piece
(Of the road we’re on)

You can follow somebody
(You can blaze your own)
You can wander for a while
(And still find your way home)

[Refrain]
Hey! Say…
(Where ya goin’?)
Any way…
(Without knowin’)

Anyway…
(We’ve got the day)

So take a breath
(Look around)
Put your feet upon the ground
(Feel the sound)

[Bridge]
Hey! Are ya knowin’…
(Where ya goin’?)

Don’t know!
(That’s okay!)

Hey!
(Which way?)

Any way!
(Every which way!)

Left!
(Right!)

Up!
(Down!)

Keep your feet
(Movin’ round!)

[Break]
Where ya goin’?
(I dunno!)

How do ya get there?
(Anyway!)

So here we go
([Refrain]
Hey! Say…
(Where ya goin’?)
Any way…
(Without knowin’)

Anyway…
(We’ve got the day)

[Refrain]
Hey! Say…
(Where ya goin’?)
Any way…
(Without knowin’)

Anyway…
(We’ve got the day)

[Final Refrain]
Hey! Say…
(Where ya goin’?)
Any way…
(Without knowin’)

Anyway…
(We’ve got the day)

Hey! Say…
(Where ya goin’?)

I dunno…
(But I’m goin’!)

Anyway…
(We’ve got the day)

[Outro]
Where ya goin’?
(With the wind… blowin’)

Without knowin’…

(That’s the way.)

We’ve got the day.

Flown

[Intro]
Flown…
(Full blown…)

Gone…
(Gone, gone)

Where’d she go?
(Who could know?)

[Verse 1]
A feather falls
(So light)
Caught by the air
(Outta sight)

Up…
(Down!)

Round and round
(Round and round)

[Refrain]
The flown
(Is flowin’)
Gone…
(It’s been going)
… way too long
(Flown)

A feather in the wind…
… been…
(Blowin’)
Flown
(Oh, oh, own)
Flown
(Oh, oh, own)

[Verse 2]
Was it mine?
(Was it yours?)
Did it leave?
(Through the doors?)

No strings
(No chains)
Nothing left
(But remains)

[Break]
Blown…
(Blown!)

Thrown…
(Thrown!)

Known…
(Unknown!)

Gone…
(Oh, oh, gone!)

[Refrain]
The flown
(Is flowin’)
Gone…
(It’s been going)
… way too long
(Flown)

A feather in the wind…
… been…
(Blowin’)
Flown
(Oh, oh, own)
Flown
(Oh, oh, own)

[Verse 3]
What we think
(We know)
Follows me…
(Where winds blow)

Flown…
(Full blown…)

Far…
(So far…)

Passed…
(Past…)

[Final Refrain]
The flown
(Is flowin’)
Gone…
(It’s been going)
… way too long
(Flown)

A feather in the wind…
… been…
(Blowin’)
Flown
(Oh, oh, own)
Flown
(Oh, oh, own)

[Outro]
Flown…
(Full blown…)

Still flowin’…
(Still goin’…)

So long!
(Long)
Gone…
(Gone, gone)

Flown…
(Oh, oh, own)

Flown…
(Oh, oh, own)
[Fade out)

Lighten Up Yourself

[Intro]
Hey now!
(What’s all that fuss?)
Easy now…
(No need to push)

Take a breath
(Let it go)
Feel the rhythm
(Get to know)

One love!
(One life!)
Our heart!
(No strife!)

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning with a cloud in my head
Thinking ’bout the things that somebody said
Carrying yesterday like a heavy load
Wondering along a lonely road

But the sun keeps shining
(Even through the gray)
And the beat keeps playing
(So dance the blues away)

You can’t change the past
(But you can change today)
So open up your heart
(And let the good vibes stay)

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t hold tight
(To the sorrow)
Make some room
(For tomorrow)

If the world feels heavy
(Share the load)
Put a little love
(Back upon the road)

[Refrain]
Don’t be so dreadly
(Lighten up yourself)
It might turn deadly
(Lighten up yourself)

Bring to life
(Life!)
Do away with
(Strife)

Come on!
(Lighten up yourself)
Sing along
(Lighten up yourself)

[Verse 2]
If a little worry wants a place in your mind
Hey! Just say, “You better stay behind”
Fear can grow when you feed it every day
And anger gets stronger when you give it your way

So loosen up your shoulders
(Let ’em fall)
Put some music in the room
(And answer the call)

If you got a little love
(You got enough)
Give a little more
(When the going gets tough)

[Chorus]
Lighten up!
(Lighten up!)
Don’t weigh yourself down
(Lighten up!)
Turn that frown around
(Lighten up!)

Life is too short
(To live in strife)
Give a little love
(Bring it back to life)

Lighten up yourself!
(Yeah, yeah!)
Lighten up yourself!
(Oh, yes!)

[Verse 3]
There’s a line between a warning and a wall
There’s a line between standing tall and standing small
You can shout at every shadow
You can fight against the rain
Or you can learn improve your move
And dance away the pain

My Mind

[Intro]
My mind…
(What’s on your mind?)
It’s blown…
(What did you find?)

[Verse 1]
Thought I knew the answer
Thought I knew the score
Then somebody asked a question
I’d never thought of before

[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
The thoughts go by
Looking down
Then looking high

[Refrain]
My mind
(Is blown)
I find
(The known)

Thinking on it
(For a bit)
Thinking hard and long
(On mentally strong)

[Verse 2]
The more I learn
The less I know
The more I turn
The more things grow

[Chorus]
Whoa-oh!
My mind is blown
(Blown!)
Something unknown
(Whoa-oh!)

Think it through
What else could be true?

[Refrain]
My mind
(Is blown)
I find
(The known)

Thinking on it
(For a bit)
Thinking hard and long
(On mentally strong)

[Bridge]
I guess knowing
Is knowing
There’s more to know

To keep on growing
Is going
Where questions go

[Break]
What do you know?
(What do you find?)
What’s blowing your mind?
(My mind!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
The thoughts go by
Looking down
Then looking high

What I knew
Was just a clue
To what I didn’t know…

[Final Chorus]
Whoa-oh!
My mind is blown
(Blown!)
I find the known
(The known!)

Thinking hard
(Thinking long)
Makes a mind
(Mentally strong!)

[Final Refrain]
My mind
(Is blown)
I find
(The known)

Thinking on it
(For a bit)
Thinking hard and long
(On mentally strong)

My mind…
Is goin’…
(Full blown!)

[Refrain]
My mind
(Is blown)
I find

Thinking on it

Thinking hard and long

Crisis

[Intro]
Risk…
(What’s the risk?)
Push…
(Endure one more…)

Cross the line
(One more time)
Never mind
(We’ll be fine)

[Verse 1]
We saw the warning
We heard the sound
Something was breaking
But we looked around

[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
We took the chance
Step by step
Into the dance

[Refrain]
We couldn’t resist
(Crossed the line of risk)
This is…
(A full blown crisis)

[Verse 2]
The warning light
Was blinking red
But we kept moving
Straight ahead

The bridge was shaking
The river rose
Nobody wanted
To be the one who knows

“Don’t worry!”
(Don’t worry!)
“It’s under control!”
(Under control!)

Then the whole thing
(Lost its soul)

[Refrain]
We couldn’t resist
(Crossed the line of risk)
This is…
(A full blown crisis)

[Bridge]
Was it sudden?
(No!)

Was it hidden
(No!)

Did we know…
Confess!
(Yes!)

[Break]
Risk!
(Resist!)

Persist!
(Insist!)

This is…
(CRISIS!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
The feedback goes
Where it stops…
(Nobody knows)

Threshold crossed
The balance shifts
One small push
And it all tips

[Final Refrain]
We couldn’t resist
(Crossed the line of risk)
This is…
(A full blown crisis)

We couldn’t resist
(Crossed the line of risk)
This is…
(A full blown crisis)

Full blown!
(Full blown!)

Crisis!
(Crisis!)

[Outro]
Common sense tossed
(The line is crossed)

Debt Collection

[Intro]
Knock, knock…
(Who’s there?)
Debt collector…
(No one’s here!)

You thought you had time
(You thought you were fine)
But time has a way
(Of collecting its pay)

[Verse 1]
We borrowed from tomorrow
And spent it all today
Took a little from the future
Then we threw the bill away

“Don’t worry ’bout the interest”
(We’ll deal with that somehow)
But the debt kept getting bigger
(And the collector’s here right now)

[Pre-Chorus]
First came the warning
(We waved it away)
Then came the interest
(It started to stay)

[Refrain]
Beyond speculation
(It’s debt collection)
What’s at stake
(A bone break)
First your fingers
(While the pain lingers)
There goes the toes
(Holy! And another knee)

[Verse 2]
You can’t put the pain
A hundred years away
When the heat is at your doorstep
And the flood is on its way

Somewhere far?
(Right where you are)
Far away?
(Not today!)

[Chorus]
Not speculation
(Not speculation!)
Not some distant fate
The consequences
(Are already at the gate)

[Refrain]
Beyond speculation
(It’s debt collection)
What’s at stake
(A bone break)
First your fingers
(While the pain lingers)
There goes the toes
(Holy! And another knee)

[Bridge]
The future moved closer
(The future moved here)
Somewhere else vanished
(It disappeared)

[Break]
Knock, knock!
(Who’s there?)
Debt!
(What debt?)

Climate debt!
(Not yet)
Your dues due
(Better come through)

How much can you take
Before you finally wake?

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not tomorrow
(It’s today)
It’s not somewhere else
(It’s this way)

It’s not abstract
(It’s real)
It’s not a theory
(Look and feel)

[Final Refrain]
Beyond speculation
(It’s debt collection)
What’s at stake
(A bone break)
First your fingers
(While the pain lingers)
There goes the toes
(Holy! And another knee)

Beyond speculation
(It’s debt collection)
What’s at stake
(A bone break)
How much pain
(Before we wake?)

[Outro]
Knock, knock…
(Who’s there?)

Debt collection…
(Already here.)
Oh, dear!

You missed the payment…
(We know.)

You missed the warning…
(Oh, no)

Now…
Pay attention.
(Avoid termination)

The new release of the day, “Debt Collection,” is the accounting of an accounting story. No, it’s not folklore anymore. It’s a retro-futuristic, swampy blues tune about spending your future.

The situation is due to what we do. And now, the blues dues are due.

About the Song: Climate Debt Collection
What happens when we miss the 1.5°C Paris target?

Think of it like owing money to a loan shark. The debt doesn’t wait decades to be collected.

Our fingers are being broken now. Our kneecaps are next.

One of the biggest challenges in communicating climate change is proximity—both in time and location.
If the consequences seem far away, people dismiss them. If they’re happening somewhere else, people ignore them.

But climate change is moving from:
future → present
and
somewhere else → right here.

We missed the 1.5°C Paris target. The climate debt is already being collected.

How much pain do we need to feel before we pay attention?

Snooze Switch

[Intro]
Wake up…
(Just a little longer)
Wake up…
(Lettin’ sleep linger?)

[Verse 1]
Hit the button, roll it over
Five more minutes, maybe more
Dreaming underneath the covers
While the knocking’s at the door

[Pre-Chorus]
Tick-tock…
(Still asleep)
Tick-tock…
(Too deep)

[Refrain]
Snooze switch
(Wake to hit)
Real bitch
(Wake to it)

In way to deep
(To sleep)

[Verse 2]
Push it once and push it twice
Push it till the warning’s gone
This time we think we’ve got it
So this time we carry on

[Refrain]
Snooze switch
(Wake to hit)
Real bitch
(Wake to it)

In way to deep
(To sleep)

No more dreaming
(No more sleep)
There’s promises to keep

When the signal starts to scream
(You can’t snooze your way out of the dream)

[Bridge]
Snooze it…
(Lose it)
Can’t hide it…
(Can’t deny it)
Wait…?
(Way too late)
… weigh “too late”

[Break]
(Way too late)
… weigh “too late”

At any rate…
(Wake from your lethargic state!)

[Final Chorus]
Wake up!
(Wake up!)
As the floor shakes
(Wake up!)
Before the whole thing breaks

No more dreaming
(No more sleep)
We’re in way too deep
To keep pretending…
(We’re asleep)

[Final Refrain]
Snooze switch
(Wake to hit)
Real bitch
(Wake to it)

In way to deep
(To sleep)

Snooze switch!
(Wake up!)
Snooze switch!
(For real!)
Wake to it…
(Wake to it!)

[Outro]
Hit the switch…
(Don’t hit snooze.)

Wake up…
(Too deep to choose to lose)

Wake…
(Up.)

Something’s coming through the circuit
Something’s moving way too fast

Jah, jah, jah

Jah, jah, jah

[Silence]

Tonight’s new release “#26 Jerk Surge” is a lil’ dance ditty inspired by tonight’s homework assignment “2022–2026 Jerk Surge”. A new dance craze influenced by all the versions of Locomotion, from Little Eva to Grand Funk to Kylie, plus Funk #49 by Joe Walsh. It attempts to explain the climate jerk experienced in 2026 as a cultural experiment experience. Everybody’s doin’ it.

About the Song

Climate Jerk Surge: Albedo–Cloud–Ocean Heat Content Triad

A 2026 study found that the recent change in climate-system dynamics is being expressed not simply as continued warming, but as increasing synchronization among multiple radiative and thermal feedback pathways.

Beginning most notably around 2022, an increasingly interconnected pattern emerges among six major climate-system variables: cloud cover, planetary albedo, sea ice extent, atmospheric water vapor, ocean heat content, and surface temperature.

The three largest interaction paths form a closely connected Albedo–Cloud–Ocean Heat Content triad:

• Planetary Albedo × Ocean Heat Content
• Cloud Cover × Ocean Heat Content
• Planetary Albedo × Cloud Cover

Reduced aerosols + cloud variability + ocean warming + internal climate variability
→ low-cloud changes → planetary albedo decline → increased absorbed solar radiation → increased planetary heat uptake

The significance is not that a single feedback has suddenly appeared. These feedbacks are already well established. The emerging signal is that multiple feedback pathways are becoming increasingly coupled—and that the rate of this coupling is itself accelerating.

That accelerating coupling is the Climate Jerk Surge.

The Fuse

[Intro]
Click…
(Click.)
Nothing…
(Nothin’?)
Flip the switch…
(Sure… but which?)

[Verse 1]
There’s a spark in the darkness
There’s a wire in the wall
You can hear the little crackle
When the current starts to crawl

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it dead?
(Is it gone?)
Is it off?
(Or just wrong?)

[Refrain]
The fuse
(Is blown)
No, don’t confuse
(Known with own)

Oh, no, no, no
… don’t confuse
(Unplugged… with a blown fuse)

[Verse 2]
You can unplug the TV
You can shut the whole thing down
If you simply cannot see
And pretend it isn’t around

[Refrain]
The fuse
(Is blown)
No, don’t confuse
(Known with own)

Oh, no, no, no
… don’t confuse
(Unplugged… with a blown fuse)

Known…
(But not owned)
Own…
(But not known)

Used to touch the ceiling
Now it won’t anymore

Just Instance

[Intro]
Just a moment…
(Just a minute)
Just a circumstance…
(What’s in it?)

Look around…
(Up and down)

Has the right left…?

[Verse 1]
Standing in a circumstance
Wondering where we stand
Another moment changes
An obsolete plan

[Pre-Chorus]
Step into the light…
(Through)
Step out of the shadow…
(Do)

[Refrain]
This circumstance
(Is a “just in stance”)
With the light shining
(Through)
Through and through
(Shining, shining)

Our circumstance
(Adjust to instance)
Out of the shadow
(Through to tomorrow)

[Verse 2]
The instant leaves a footprint
The footprint marks a way
The way became a journey
Drifting farther away

[Chorus]
Justice stance!
(Just instance!)
Take your stance!

Circumstance
(Isn’t chance!)

Move to what’s bright
(Take into view)
Then the light might
(Shine through and through)

Just instance!
(Just in stance!)
Tomorrow’s waiting
(For you!)

[Bridge]
Adjust!
(Adjust!)
Your stance…

Through to tomorrow
(Coming due!)

This circumstance
(Is a “just in stance”)
With the light shining

Out of the shadow
(Through to tomorrow)

Just instance!

Adjust your stance!

That Gasket

[Intro]
Hear that?
(What?)
Hear that sound?
(That ain’t good.)
… not like it should…

Red light…
(Hold tight!)
Red line…
(Past fine!)

[Verse 1]
She was running like a rocket
With the pedal to the floor
Temperature was climbing
But we wanted just a little more

Needle creeping toward the danger
Warning light began to glow
Somebody said, “Keep revving”
We all said, “Let’s go!”

[Pre-Chorus]
Pressure building…
(Building!)
Heat rising…
(Rising!)
Something’s gotta give
(If we wanna live….)

[Refrain]
That gasket…
(Is blown)
… hear ‘er moan?
(Blown)

Too far into the red zone
(Revin’ way to high, high, high)
Now the future’s blown
(Why, why, why?)

[Verse 2]
A gasket keeps the pressure
Where the pressure ought to stay
Keeps the fluids separated
Keeps the fire in its place

But push beyond the limit
And the seal begins to strain
One little breach of pressure
And you’re leaking down the drain

[Chorus]
Blown!
(Blown!)
Hear that moan!
(Ohhh!)

Red zone!
(Red zone!)
Leave it alone!

Too much heat
(Too much!)
Too much speed
(Too much!)

[Refrain]
That gasket…
(Is blown)
… hear ‘er moan?
(Blown)

Too far into the red zone
(Revin’ way to high, high, high)
Now the future’s blown
(Why, why, why?)

[Bridge]
Pressure!
(That’s for sure)
Heat!
(Beat!)

Speed!
(Indeed!)

[Break]
How high?
(High!)
How far?
(Far!)
How fast?
(Fast!)

How long?
(Too long!)

What’s that smell?
(Oh, well…)

[Final Refrain]
That gasket…
(Is blown)
… hear ‘er moan?
(Blown)

Too far into the red zone
(Revin’ way to high, high, high)
Now the future’s blown
(Why, why, why?)

[Outro]
Turn it down…
(Way down!)
Down, down, down

Red zone…
(Ain’t goin’ home!)
Shoulda left ‘er alone

Too late?
(Way, way, way beyond expiration date.)

[Engine sputters]
(Whoa)
Oh…
(Woe, oh.)

Blowfish and Poison Darts

[Intro]
For dinner… what do you wish…
(Blowfish?)
What’s that little dart?
(Cupid!)

(Watch your heart!)

[Verse 1]
She served me up a blowfish
Said, “Honey, take a bite”
I said, “Are you quite certain?”
She said, “Everything’s alright”

[Pre-Chorus]
Love can be dangerous
(Dangerous for us!)

[Refrain]
She fed me the blowfish dish
(Shouldn’t take in tetrodotoxin)
Cupid’s poison dart to the heart
(Hit with curare there)

I said…
(Is our love dead?)

[Verse 2]
She said, “It’s just a fish, dear
What could possibly go wrong?”
I said, “I’ve heard that story
… it’s the same old song”

[Refrain]
She fed me the blowfish dish
(Stuffed within… tetrodotoxin)
Cupid’s poison dart to the heart
(Hit with curare there)

I said…
(Is our love dead?)

[Bridge]
Put more seasoning on…
(What poison?)
Sprinkle it on
(Oh, no!)
Stick with a lil’ prick
(Oh, whoa!)

Dart!
(Where?)
The heart!
(There!)

Don’t take it in…
(Don’t take it in!)
Don’t let it start…
(Don’t let it start!)

[Break]
She said:
“Take another bite.”
(I said, “No, no, no!”)

She said:
“It’s outta sight!”
(I said, “Whoa, whoa, whoa!”)

Cupid said:
“See… you can trust me.”
(I said…)
Is our love dead?
(Dead?)

[Final Refrain]
She fed me the blowfish dish
(Shouldn’t take in tetrodotoxin)
Cupid’s poison dart to the heart
(Hit with curare there)

I said…
(Is our love dead?)

She said…
(Not yet!)

I said…
(You wanna make a bet?)

[Outro]
She fed me the blowfish dish
(Don’t take in tetrodotoxin)
Cupid’s poison dart to the heart
(Hit with curare there)

I said…
(Is our love dead?)

Express

[Intro]
Are you board?
(All aboard!)
Worry less…
(Express!)
No stopping…
(Eye popping!)
Soooo…
(Let’s go!)

[Verse 1]
Pull into the station
Got a ticket in my hand
No time for hesitation
We’re movin’ from the land

Leave the baggage on the platform
Leave the worries by the door
When the engine starts to rumble
We don’t need ’em anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
Thoughts are racing…
(Racing!)
Mind is pacing…
(Pacing!)

[Refrain]
Takin’ the express train
(Express yourself)
Less stress on the brain

No need to keep it bottled
No need to hide the sound
Say what’s on your mind
Let the words come tumbling out

[Refrain]
Takin’ the express train
(Express yourself)
Less stress on the brain
(Free mental health)

[Bridge]
Say it!
(Sing it!)
Write it!

Takin’ the express train

Takin’ the express train

No stress on the brain

Hanging On

[Intro]
Are you hanging on?
(Hanging on!)
How long?
(So long?)

Got a grip on the railing
With the wind blowin’ strong
Wondering how we got here
Wondering how long

Hanging on

Sing along:

On and on and on

Come on in…
(Again and again!)
What’s cookin’?
(Where to begin?)

Turn it up!
(Turn it up!)
Feel the heat…
(Feel the beat!)

[Verse 1]
There’s a little fire in the kitchen
There’s a little smoke around
Something’s bubbling in the pot
Rattlin’ n’ rumblin’… making sound

Stir it once and stir it twice
Let the temperature climb
Everybody’s getting hungry
And we’re running out of time

Now, we’re cookin’
(Again and again)

[Verse 2]
Put a little more in the skillet
Put another log on the fire
Someone says, “A little hotter!”
Another says, “Take it higher!”

Steam is rising from the kettle
Pressure building in the lid
Another wants another
Nobody seeks what the heat did

[Refrain]
Come on in
(Again and again)
Begin
(The cookin’)

Oh, why not?

What’s it gonna do?

Mezzin’ with your mind
(Messin’!)

Say what?
(Guess you’ll come to find…)

I put a question
Where the answer should be
Moved the pieces
So you couldn’t quite see

Changed the picture
Turned it upside down
Now you’re lookin’
But you’re lookin’ ’round

Realize
(Mesmerize)

Open your eyes!

Moves faster than the eye
Watch the left hand
While the right goes by

Sparkle and shine
A little sleight of hand
Can bend your mind

(I’m mezzin’ with you)
Realize
(Mesmerize)

Open your eyes!

A little bit of tomorrow

(Floating on the wind)
Floating on and on
(Don’t know where to begin)

Do I choose
(The direction?)

Or surrender

Drifting…
(Yeah…)

Turning…

Zoot

[Intro]
What are we chasing?
(What is the pursuit?)
Something elusive
(Calling it zoot)

Round and around
(We go)
Looking for answers
(… does anybody know?)

Too much!
(Too little!)
Too far!

Somewhere between it all
(There’s a middle)

[Verse 1]
One side says
(Go all the way!)
The other side says
(Stay where you stay!)

[Refrain]
In pursuit

The reality
(Is somewhere between)

Little growl

Something’s coming

Lookin’ like a land shark

Grab My Guitar

[Intro]
Hear that sound
(Coming around)
Six strings calling
(Without warning)

Pick it up
(Shake it up)
Let the rhythm
(Carry ’em)

One basic chord
(Opens the door)
One little beat
(Moves your feet)

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning
(What did I find?)
A melody forming
(Inside of my mind)

No need for a reason
(No need for a plan)
Just follow the feeling
(As far as I can)

The world keeps spinning
(Round and round)
But there’s something different
(When you make a sound)

A wooden box
(A little wire)
Turn it loose
(Set it on fire!)

Gonna grab my guitar

… and play

Whether near or far
(Sing it far and wide)
… all day

Play on the porch
(Play in the street)
Play in the kitchen
(Dance with the beat)

Play in the sunshine
(Play in the rain)
Play through the laughter
(Play through the pain)

Don’t need a stadium
(Don’t need a crowd)
One voice is plenty
(But two sounds loud!)

[Refrain]
Gonna grab my guitar
(I’ll meet you outside)
… and play

Whether near or far

What are you waiting for?

Round and round
(Without a sound)

Reach out!

Feel it…

[Instrumental Surf-Rock Riff]

[Verse 1]
Rolling down the highway

Wind against my face
(Feels just right)

The road keeps bending
(Out of view)
And every mile
(Feels brand new)

Don’t look back

Don’t lose track

Just what we do

Feel the moment

No need to borrow
Trouble from tomorrow
When tomorrow

Free wheeling
(Reeling in “real”-ing)
Reach out and feel
(It’s the real deal)

Living in the here
(Living in the now)
Dream the future

A choice made

Reeling!

Blow Over

Is it coming?
(Coming this way…)
Is it leaving?
(What can we say?)

Clouds on the horizon
(Rollin’ in)
Sun behind the darkness
(Where has it been?)

[Verse 1]
Wind starts rising
(Feel it blow)
Ocean’s moving
(Watch it go)

Something’s shifting
(Can’t you feel?)
Something’s changing
(Is it real?)

Forecast says
(It might pass)
Wait and see
(How long will it last?)

Blowin’ over
(Blowin’ through)
Blowin’ past
(Me and you)

Do we have agency
(Over destiny)
Or will we cower

Lightning dancing

Coming down…

Due what we do…

Forever

Forever!
(Never!)
Never!
(Forever!)

What does it mean…
(To live a dream?)

[Verse 1]
Yesterday’s gone
(Tomorrow’s not here)
But somebody says
(Forever, my dear)

Forever is long
(How long can it be?)
Longer than you
(Longer than me)

A second goes by
(Then another one)
Blink of an eye
(And the moment is gone!)

[Refrain]
Does forever
(Mean never)
Infinity?

Does forever
(Mean never)
Immortality?

Play the Game

The cards are on the table
(The table’s turning round)
The rules aren’t quite stable
(But listen to that sound)

[Verse 1]
We came with empty pockets
(And a head full of dreams)
Life keeps changing channels
(Or so it seems)

You can’t keep every moment
(You can’t hold back the tide)
But you can choose the way
(You take the ride)

[Pre-Chorus]
[Drums Build]
So roll the dice
(Breathe once or twice)
Look around
(You’re alive)

[Refrain]
Let’s…
(Play the game)
Sure bets…
(That’s the name)

Play the game of livin’
(With what we’ve been givin’)
Take love’s advice…
(Come to life)

Come out and play
(Today)

[Verse 2]
We chase tomorrow
(And forget today)
We build our little castles
(Then give them away)

A little bit of kindness
(A little bit of grace)
Can change the whole equation
(Can change the place)

[Refrain]
Let’s…
(Play the game)
No regrets…
(Stayin’ sane)

Play the game of livin’
(With what we’ve been givin’)
Take love’s advice…
(Come to life)

Come out and play
(Today)

[Bridge]
The end of the game
(Isn’t winning)
Never the same…
(Close to beginning)
[Electric Guitar Swell]

What do you say…?

Through the Curtains

[Intro]
Behind the curtain
(Beyond the room)
Something is shining
(Dispelling the gloom)

A little bit of daylight
(Slipping through)
A world beyond the window
(Waiting for you)

Through the curtains
(Life begins)

[Verse 1]
Heavy cloth is hanging
(Blocking out the sun)
Shadows on the ceiling
(Where the light has run)

Standing in the darkness
(Thinking that it’s night)
Never seeing clearly
(What is hiding in the light)

Pull a little closer
(Pull the fabric wide)
Look a little farther
(… to the other side)

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn your head
(Change the angle)
Lift from dread
(Greet an angel)

[Refrain]
Through the drapes…
(The view escapes)
Light beyond the veils
(The comparison pales)

What point of view…
(… have you?)

[Verse 2]
One window faces east
(Another faces west)
Same world outside
(Different light at best)

One sees the sunrise
(One sees the night)
One sees the storm clouds
(One sees the light)

Perspective is a prism
(Breaking up the beam)
Turn it in your fingers
(Watch the colors gleam)

[Pre-Chorus]
Look left
(Look right)
Step back
(See light)

Through the curtains
(Look out again)

[Refrain]
Through the drapes…
(The view escapes)
Light beyond the veils
(The comparison pales)

What point of view…
(… have you?)

[Bridge]
Step into view
(Feel what’s true)
Follow the angle
(Let the thought dangle)

Pull the drapes!
(Pull ’em wide!)

Let the daylight
(Inside!)

Look around!
(Look around!)
There’s a view to be found!

Through the curtains
(The scene is certain)

[Final Refrain]
Through the drapes…
(The view escapes)
Light beyond the veils
(The comparison pales)

[Outro]
What point of view…
(… have you?)

Through the drapes…
(The world awaits)
Pull back the veil
(And open the gates)

The point of view…
(… with you)

Through the curtains
(Life begins)

Look and see…
You n’ me
(… in reality)

One and Done

One
(And done?)

Two, too.
(Wait… let’s see…)
Maybe three…
(Or four… or more….)

(Encore!)

[Verse 1]
You did one
(That’s pretty good)
You did one
(Just like you could)

But why stop there
(When there’s more to do?)
One more try
(Can turn into two)

Two turns to three
(Three turns to four)
Before you know it
(You’re asking for more)

One is a number
(But numbers can run)
So what’s the big hurry
(To call it done?)

[Refrain]
Is it one and done?
(Hey! Just for fun)
Why don’t you do two
(Or four… maybe more?)

[Verse 2]
A single note
(Can start a song)
A first step
(Can move you along)

[Refrain]
Is it one and done?
(Hey! Just for fun)
Why don’t you do two
(Or four… maybe more?)

[Verse 3]
One shot
(One chance)
One dance
(One glance)

[Bridge]
[Beat Drops / Funk Bass / Claps]

One…

(Two…)

Three…

(Four…)

For sure

One and done…
(Better than none…)

Why stop now…
(That you know how…)

[Refrain]
Is it one and done?
(Hey! Just for fun)
Why don’t you do two
(Or four… maybe more?)

(Begin:)
One!
(Again!)

One!
(Again!)

One!

(Again!)

What’s the definition
(Of insanity?)

Doing the same thing…

(And expecting something different!)

[Beat Returns]

[Final Refrain]
Is it one and done?
(Hey! Just for fun)
Why don’t you do two
(Or four… maybe more?)

[Outro]
One and done?
(That sounds like none!)
Try another one
(And then another one!)

Two or four
(Maybe more!)
Keep the door
(Open for more!)

One!

(Two!)

Three!

(Four!)

More!

(More!)

Reason and Rhyme

[Intro]
What’s the reason?
(What’s the rhyme?)
What’s the season?
(What’s the time?)

Looking for an answer
(Searching for a sign)
Find that there’s a reason
(And with will… will rhyme)

[Verse 1]
Woke up in the morning
With a question in my head
Chasing down a reason
For the things I never said

Looking for the pattern
In the middle of the noise
Trying to distinguish
All the signals from the toys

[Refrain]
Findin’ time
(For reason and rhyme)
Findin’ I’m…
(Feelin’ fine)

[Verse 2]
Reason says, “Consider”
(Rhyme’s puzzle… “Let it flow”)
Reason finds an answer
(Rhyme says, “You already know”)

Reason builds a ladder
(Rhyme can make you fly)
Reason asks you “Why?”
(Rhyme says, “Give it a try!”)

[Refrain]
Findin’ time
(For reason and rhyme)
Findin’ I’m…
(Feelin’ fine)

Reason and rhyme…

(Rhyme and reason…)

Just in time…

(To be in season…)

[Final Refrain]
Findin’ time
(For reason and rhyme)
Findin’ I’m…
(Feelin’ fine)

[Outro]
Findin’ time
(For reason and rhyme)
Findin’ I’m…
(Feelin’ fine)

Reason!
(And rhyme!)

Living!
(Our time!)

What’s the reason?

(What’s the rhyme?)

What’s the answer?

(We’ll find it in time…)

Findin’ time…

(For reason and rhyme…)

Findin’ I’m…

(Feelin’ fine…)

It’s All Fun and Games

[Intro]
Step right up!
(Come on in!)

Everybody’s playing!
(Begin)

Name that game!

[Verse 1]
It’s a game of chance
(A game of skill)
A game of circumstance
(And human will)

Cards on the table
(What’s the deal?)
Spinning the wheel
(How do you feel?)

[Refrain]
It’s all fun and games
(Until someone loses an eye)
When the whole world’s gone insane…
(Don’t lose an I)

I think…
(Therefore I am!)
Again and again

(Begin.)

[Verse 2]
I think therefore I am
(Descartes!)
I think spacetime
(That’s smart!)

I think therefore I wonder
(What’s going on?)
I think therefore I notice
(When something’s wrong)

[Pre-Chorus]
So open up your eyes
(Open up your mind)
Maybe there’s a little something
(That you left behind)

An “I” can be a person
(An eye can see)
An “I” can be an ego
(What’s it gonna be?)

[Refrain]
It’s all fun and games
(Until someone loses an eye)
When the whole world’s gone insane…
(Don’t lose an I)

I think…
(Therefore I am!)
Again and again

(Begin.)

[Bridge]
[Beat Drops / Distorted Guitar / Spoken Vocal]

It’s all fun and games…
(Until…)
The game becomes reality
(… and you can no longer see)

[Full Band Hit]

This is crisis!

I!

(Eye!)

I!

(Eye!)

I think!

(Therefore I am!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Because an “I”
(Can be an eye)
And an eye
(Can finally see)

[Refrain]
It’s all fun and games
(Until someone loses an eye)
When the whole world’s gone insane…
(Don’t lose an I)

I think…
(Therefore I am!)
Again and again

I think…
(Therefore I am!)
My place in spacetime

[Final Refrain]
It’s all fun and games
(Until someone loses an eye)
When the whole world’s gone insane…
(Don’t lose an I)

[Outro]
I think…
(Therefore I am!)
Again and again

It’s all fun and games
(But reality remains)
Keep your eye on the world
(And your I in the game!)

I!
(Eye!)

I!
(Eye!)

Think!

Again…

(And again…)

[Final Hit]

I think…

(Therefore I am!)

Nuts!

[Intro]
Brazil…
(Hazel…)
Macadamia…

(NUTS!)

What’d you say?
(Nuts!)
I said…
(NUTS!)

[Verse 1]
Crack one open
(Look inside)
Hard outer shell
(Fragile on the inside)

[Refrain]
Brazil, Hazel, Macadamia
(Nuts!)
Brazil fill
(Macadamia mania)
Nuts!

Have you all gone…
(Nuts?!?!)

Nuts…
(No ifs, ands, or buts)
Insane in the membrane
(Crazy… void of reality)

[Verse 2]
One says, “I’m right!”
(Another says, “No!”)
One says, “See the light!”
(Neither wanna know)

Facts on the table
(Still can’t agree)

Something’s moving

Something’s grooving
(Everywhere)

Push and pull

Here it comes

Sine of time

Phase it out

Turn around

Finding

[Intro]
Looking…
(Looking around)
Searching…
(What can be found?)

Under the clouds
(Beneath the gray)
There’s still a little light
(That found a way)

[Verse 1]
Woke up this morning
(The sky was gray)
Didn’t stop the sunrise
(It found its way)

Through every crack
(Through every seam)
A little bit of brightness
(Like a waking dream)

Feeling alright

Why are you’re waiting
(For someone to care)
Why bother hoping
(That somebody’s there)

Give a little comfort

Put a little kindness
(Into every place)

A smile in the doorway
(A hand in the rain)
A word that shows a way
(Out of their pain)

Stitching

Thread by thread…
(Going through my head)
Pulling it tight…
(Getting it right)

[Verse 1]
Loose ends dangling
All around
Pieces scattered
On the ground

Little tears
Along the seam
Is it ever
What it seems

[Refrain]
Are you itching
(To tighten the stitching)
Pulling us together
(To weather the weather)

Tighten the laces
(In all the right places)
Pulling us together
(Heading to forever)

[Verse 2]
A little tension
Keeps it tight
Too much tension
Starts a fight

If the fabric
Starts to tear
Reach across
And show you care

[Refrain]
Are you itching
(To tighten the stitching)
Pulling us together
(To weather the weather)

Tighten the laces
(In all the right places)
Pulling us together
(Heading to forever)

You’ll
(Pull)
I’ll
(Pull
… until

Are you itching?

(Yeah!)

To tighten the stitching?

(Yeah!)

Pulling us together?

(Yeah!)

To weather the weather?

[Final Refrain]
Are you itching
(To tighten the stitching)
Pulling us together
(To weather the weather)

Tighten the laces
(In all the right places)
Pulling us together

Are you itching
(Keep tightening)
Keep us together
(Keep fighting)

Tighten the laces
(In all the right places)
Pulling us together
(Heading to forever)

Thread by thread…

Seam by seam…

Pulling us together…

Weathering the weather…

Whimsical

[Intro]
Practical…
(… or Radical?)

Musical…
(Magical?)

Whimsical!

[Verse 1]
They measured the moon
With a measuring stick
Calculated the stars
And called it a trick

They numbered the clouds
They counted the rain
They put all the sunshine
In a spreadsheet again

They told me the world
Should be sensible
Predictable…
Defensible…

I asked them a question
They said, “That’s absurd!”

So I answered their answer
With a completely new word:

Whimsical!

[Pre-Chorus]
[Drums Build, Guitar Chimes]

When reason gets rigid
And logic gets stale
When everybody’s certain
They’ve figured the tale

Leave room for the strange
Leave room for surprise
There’s more to the world
Than what fits in your eyes

[Refrain]
When they get too practical
(Get whimsical)
… it’s magical
If it gets too radical
(Get musical)
… be whimsical

[Verse 2]
A practical person
Will tighten the screw
A radical person
Will tighten it too

One says, “Be careful!”
The other says, “Go!”
One wants a blueprint
The other says, “Whoa!”

But somewhere between them
A strange little tune
Starts dancing around
With the stars and the moon

A little absurd
A little sublime
A little bit out of
The practical line

Don’t throw out the reason
Don’t throw out the rules
Just don’t let the rules
Make you into fools

A little imagination
Can loosen the chain
And sometimes a laugh
Can eliminate pain

[Refrain]
When they get too practical
(Get whimsical)
… it’s magical
If it gets too radical
(Get musical)
… be whimsical

[Verse 3]
They told me, “Reality
Must be defined!”

I said, “Sure…
But leave something behind.”

A corner for wonder
A pocket for play
A place where tomorrow
Can rewrite today

The sensible thinker
Says, “Prove that it’s true.”

The dreamer says,
“Maybe there’s something new.”

The scientist smiles
And adjusts the design:

“Let’s test the impossible…
One more time.”

Too practical?
(Get whimsical!)

Too radical?
(Get musical!)

Too cynical?
(Get lyrical!)

Too critical?
(Get magical!)

[Spoken]
Don’t lose your mind…

Just leave static behind.

[Verse 4]
A butterfly flaps
And the weather responds
A tiny idea
Can travel beyond

A small little question
Can open a door
And suddenly nothing
Is quite like before

So dance with the data
And sing with the facts
Let curiosity
Lead you off track

When everything’s serious
Lighten the load
When everyone’s marching
Step off the road

When they say,
“This is the only way…”
Ask:
“Do you know how to play?”

Practical!
(Too radical!)

It’s a festival…
(Get musical!)

Whimsical!

MAGICAL!

[Final Refrain]
When they get too practical
(Get whimsical)
… it’s magical
If it gets too radical
(Get musical)
… be whimsical

[Outro]
When they get too cynical
(Get whimsical)
Make it lyrical
If it gets too difficult
(Get musical)
… be whimsical

When they get too predictable
(Get whimsical)
Make it mythical
When the world gets ridiculous
(Get musical)
… be whimsical!

Circuit Breaker

Current…
Running through the wire…
(Ampin’ higher)

[Verse 1]
Hear that buzzing
Running hot
Too much pressure
In the box

Little spark
A little flare
Feel the voltage
In the air

When the load
Begins to rise
Someone better
Cut the ties

[Pre-Chorus]
[Drums Building, Distorted Guitar]
Flip the switch
Break the chain
Stop the current
Start again

[Refrain]
Giver or taker?
(Throwin’ the circuit breaker)
Your current in the present
(Is clearly trippin’ me)

Giver or taker
Which one are you?
Passing current
Through and through

Giver or taker?
(Throwin’ the circuit breaker)
Your current in the present
(Is clearly trippin’ me)

Current…

Present…

Current…

(Charge at large)

[Electric Guitar Hit]

Giver…

Or taker?

[Pre-Chorus]
So when the current
Starts to race
And overload
Is in your face

Don’t keep pushing
Just because
Pull the breaker
That’s enough!

[Refrain]
Giver or taker?
(Throwin’ the circuit breaker)
Your current in the present
(Is clearly trippin’ me)

Giver or taker?
(Who’s the undertaker?)
Your current in the present
(Is clearly trippin’ me)

Trip…

Flip…

The breaker trips
Because the current flips…

Trippin’!

[Final Refrain]
Giver or taker?
(Throwin’ the circuit breaker)
Your current in the present
(Is clearly trippin’ me)

[Outro]
Giver or taker?
(Throwin’ the circuit breaker)
Cut the current
Ensure the future

Turn about…

Lights out…

Now Yer Talkin’

Hey!

Say what’s on your mind
(And I’ll tell you mine)
No need to wonder
(We’re doin’ fine!)

Wow…
(Now!)
We’re…
(Talkin’!)

[Verse 1]
You said a little
(I heard a lot)
Opened up the window
(And I took the shot)

Words are our music
(When they come from the heart)
A little interaction
(Can be a brand-new start)

Don’t just talk around it
(Don’t beat around the bush)
Say what you mean
(And don’t be afraid to blush)

If you’re gonna tell me
(Then tell me true)
I’ll walk a mile

(So they say)
But words can pave
(A brand-new way)

Talk about the weather
(Talk about the rain)
Talk about tomorrow
(Talk about the pain)

Talk about the things
(We’d rather not discuss)
See what relief it brings
(And leave behind the fuss)

A sidewalk conversation
(A footstep at a time)
Can turn a little rhythm
(Into a reason and a rhyme)

Music to my ears

Pleasant surprise:

Rock-a-bye…
(We’re gonna fly)

[Verse 1]
Rockin’ in the cradle
(Rollin’ down the road)
Life is but a riddle
(With a curious code)

Round and round we go
(Never quite the same)
You can call it goodbye
(I’ll call it a game)

Take another turn
(Turn another page)
A little bit of wonder
(Can get you outta the cage)

[Pre-Chorus]
If you’re feeling low
(Then let it go)
If you’re feeling shy
(Just say hi!)

If the road gets rough

You’ve got a load

Maybe what you’re looking for
(Is what to leave behind)

Look to the west
(It’s fading light)

The sun ain’t really
(Running away)
We’re turning underneath it
(Another spin today)

[Pre-Chorus]
Tick-tock
(Watch the clock)
Round and round
(The world goes around)

Take your chance
(Join the dance)
Before the light
(Gives up the fight)

[Refrain]
Better hurry…
(Before the sun goes down)
Come on.. let’s scurry
(Before the next spinnin’ round)

Then, it will dawn on you
(The axis of our view)

[Verse 2]
We say sunrise
(We say sunset)
But where’s the sun?
(You haven’t met)

Earth keeps turning
(Under the light)
Half in the daytime
(Half in the night)

[Pre-Chorus]
Round and round
(We all go)
Up and down
(We don’t know)

Tilted world
(Shifting view)
What looks old
(Can start anew)

[Refrain]
Better hurry…
(Before the sun goes down)
Come on.. let’s scurry
(Before the next spinnin’ round)

Then, it will dawn on you
(The axis of our view)

[Bridge]
When the end of the day…
(Is on it’s way)
We can begin…
(To turn it ’round again)

Round!
(Round!)
Round!
(And round!)
Spin me around
(Feet on the ground!)
Sunrise!
(Sunset!)
Daylight!
(Night!)
Turn it around…
(See the light!)

[Breakdown]
Dawn!
(Don’t yawn!)
Sun!
(We’re one!)
Spin!
(Begin!)
Turn!
(Yearn!)
Dawn on you!
(Dawn on me!)
Change your view!
(See what’s to be!)

[Final Refrain]
Better hurry…
(Before the sun goes down)
Come on.. let’s scurry
(Before the next spinnin’ round)

[Outro]
Then, it will dawn on you
(The axis of our view)
Better hurry…
(Before the sun goes down)
Come on.. let’s scurry
(Before the next spinnin’ round)

The world keeps turning
(And so do you)
Then, it will dawn on you…
(The axis of our view!)

Before the sun goes down…
(Hurry!)
Before the world spins ’round…
(Scurry!)
Then it will dawn…
(Dawn!)
Then it will dawn on you…
The axis…
(Of our view…)
Round and round…

The Climb

[Intro]
[Low Synth Drone, Spoken Vocal, Acoustic Guitar]
Up, up, up we go…
(Where the branches sway)
Step by step, the world unfolds
(And the clouds give way)

[Verse 1]
I started out with my feet on the ground
Looking for a truth that couldn’t be found
I chased the horizon, I followed the breeze
I searched for answers in the tops of the trees

[Refrain]
I climbed up the tallest tree
(To see what I could see)
There staring right at me…
(Was my destiny)

I climbed to the mountain top
(Until the top came to a stop)
I looked out upon the scene
(… there the dream was seen)

It’s right there
(Are you aware?)
… love is everywhere

[Verse 2]
I thought that the summit would tell me the truth
Reveal all the secrets I’d missed in my youth
I thought that the distance would make it all clear
That the meaning of life would be waiting up here

But no golden doorway, no voice from above
Just a world full of wonder, connected by love
The rivers, the forests, the ocean, the sky
All part of a whole that no wall can divide

[Pre-Chorus]
I looked to the east
(I looked to the west)
I searched every corner
(To find what was best)

Then I stopped looking
(And opened my eyes)
The answer was there
(In the earth and the skies)

[Refrain]
I climbed up the tallest tree
(To see what I could see)
There staring right at me…
(Was my destiny)

I climbed to the mountain top
(Until the top came to a stop)
I looked out upon the scene
(… there the dream was seen)

It’s right there
(Are you aware?)
… love is everywhere

[Bridge]
Higher and higher
(What did I find?)
A wider horizon
(Of how to be kind)

(Climb up!)
(Look out!)
(Open your eyes!)
(It’s all around!)

[Breakdown]
It’s right there…
(And there!)

Can you see it?
(Can you feel it?)

It’s right here…
(Can you hear!)

[Final Refrain]
I climbed up the tallest tree
(To see what I could see)
There staring right at me…
(Was my destiny)

I climbed to the mountain top
(Until the top came to a stop)
I looked out upon the scene
(… there the dream was seen)

It’s right there
(Are you aware?)
… love is everywhere

It’s right there
(In the earth and air)
It’s right here
(If we care)

It’s right there
(Are you aware?)
… love is everywhere

[Outro]
I climbed up…
(To see what I could see)

I looked out…
(And the world looked back at me)

No farther to go
(No higher to climb)

The love I was seeking
(Was here all the time)

It’s right there…
(Are you aware?)

… love is everywhere.

Interrupt

[Intro]
Excuse me!
(Excuse you!)
Pardon me!
(Who’s talking to who?)

Just a little interruption
(In the middle of your day)
I’ve got something to tell you
(But you might look away!)

[Verse 1]
We were busy making plans for tomorrow
While the present was filling with sorrow
We were arguing over who’s to blame
While the whole damn system was going up in flames

We were checking our phone
(Scrolling away)
While reality knocked
(We told it, “Go away!”)

[Pre-Chorus]
Tap, tap, tap
(Who’s there?)
Knock, knock, knock
(Do I care?)

A little inconvenient truth
(Interrupting your groove)
But the facts don’t wait
(For your approval to move!)

[Refrain]
Excuse me…
(Did you see:)
Reality?

Pardon me…
(I didn’t mean to interrupt)
But…
… to be abrupt
(Your hair is on fire)

Flamin’ higher
(Higher! Higher! Higher!)

[Verse 2]
You said the numbers were just a phase
A little blip in the historical haze
You said the warnings were all overblown
Then the weather came knocking that you own

The old assumptions start to crack
And reality doesn’t take them back

You can change the channel
(You can close your eyes)
Then reality comes…
(As a big surprise!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Wait, wait, wait
(What’s that smell?)
Something’s burning
(You can tell!)

No time for spin
(No time for bluff)
The truth is knocking
(And it’s knocking rough!)

[Refrain]
Excuse me…
(Did you see:)
Reality?

Pardon me…
(I didn’t mean to interrupt)
But…
… to be abrupt
(Your hair is on fire)

Flamin’ higher
(Higher! Higher! Higher!)

[Bridge]
It’s not the message
(It’s the delay)
It’s not the warning
(It’s looking away)

You can argue with the messenger
(You can call them a fool)
But the fire doesn’t care
(About your political rule)

[Breakdown]
Excuse me!
(Your hair!)

Pardon me!
(Do you care!)

I hate to interrupt
(But look above!)

That’s not a halo
(That’s combustion, love!)

Higher!
(Higher!)

Fire
(Fire!)

[Instrumental]

[Final Refrain]
Excuse me…
(Did you see:)
Reality?

Pardon me…
(I didn’t mean to interrupt)
But…
… to be abrupt
(Your hair is on fire)

[Outro]
Flamin’ higher
(Higher! Higher! Higher!)

Excuse me…
(Can’t you see)
Smokin’ up your scene…
(Isn’t a dream!)

… know what I mean?

Keep ‘Em Comin’

[Intro]
Come on!
(Come on!)
Get it started
(Keep it goin’!)

One more round
(Don’t slow down!)
Let your soul be found
(Make that sound!)

[Verse 1]
A simple spark and the whole thing’s lit
Get on the floor, let the rhythm hit
One more thought, one more idea
Keep that momentum rolling right here

Round and round, let the wheels spin
Each time we stop, we can start again
No sitting still, no calling it done
We’re just getting started, we’re having fun!

[Refrain]
Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Start (begin)
Keep ’em comin’
(Move it along)

Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Do it (again)
Keep ’em comin’
(Till we reach the dawn)

[Verse 2]
Keep the ideas coming down the line
One more connection and we’re feeling fine
Mix it, match it, let it collide
See what happens when the pieces combine

More interaction, more reaction
More of that feedback satisfaction
Add a change… get into the groove
Push it forward, keep it on the move!

[Refrain]
Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Start (begin)
Keep ’em comin’
(Move it along)

Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Do it (again)
Keep ’em comin’
(Till we reach the dawn)

[Bridge]
Keep the beat
(Keep it rollin’)
Toward complete
(Keep ’em turnin’)

Keep the sparks
(Keep ’em flyin’)
Keep the loops
(Keep replyin’)

More connections
(More interaction)
More reactions
(More amplification)

[Breakdown]
Come on!
(Keep ’em comin’!)

[Final Refrain]
Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Start (begin)
Keep ’em comin’
(Move it along)

Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Do it (again)
Keep ’em comin’
(Till we reach the dawn)

[Outro]
Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
One more time!
(Keep ’em comin’!)

Oh, come on, come on
(Keep ’em comin’)
Round and round
(Till the sun comes on!)

Keep ’em comin’!

Passing Through (Neutrino)

[Intro]
Here they come!
(Where?)
Right there!
(Where?)
Right through the walls
(Through closed doors and down the halls)

Through the ceiling
(Through the door)
Through your body
(… here come more!)

[Verse 1]
The Sun’s throwing particles across the sky
Billions of billions go racing by
No invitation, no ticket to show
They slip through the places you’ll never know

Through your head
(Through your toes)
Through your heart
(There one goes!)

No bump, no bruise
No bang, no sound
A hundred trillion
(Just passing around!)

[Refrain]
Have you met
(A neutrino?)
I bet…
(You didn’t know)
The real deal
(You won’t even feel)
A single blow

They’re passing right through…
(You)

[Verse 2]
They’re born in the Sun where the fusion burns
And cosmic explosions send more in turns
From distant galaxies, far beyond sight
They cross the universe at nearly light

They’re ghost-like guests
(They don’t knock)
They don’t need keys
(They don’t stop)

Matter’s a maze
(They mostly ignore)
They pass through the Earth
(And out the other door!)

[Pre-Chorus]
A hundred trillion
(Every second!)
Through your body
(You reckon?)

No collision
(No sensation)
Just a subatomic
(Transit station!)

[Refrain]
Have you met
(A neutrino?)
I bet…
(You didn’t know)
The real deal
(You won’t even feel)
A single blow

They’re passing right through…
(You)

[Bridge]
You think you’re solid
(Strong and dense)
A wall of matter
(With a fence)

But deep in the atoms
(There’s room to spare)
And neutrinos move
(Like they’re barely there!)

Through the planet
(Through the stone)
Through the places
(You call your own)

Most pass by
(Without a trace)
But once in a while
(They leave a case!)

[Instrumental]
(Zoom!)
(Through you!)

(Zoom!)
(Comin’ through!)

(From the Sun!)
(From a star!)

(They don’t care!)
(Where you are!)

[Breakdown]
Who’s passing through?
(Neutrinos!)

Who’s feeling it?
(No one knows!)

[Final Refrain]
Have you met
(A neutrino?)
I bet…
(You didn’t know)
The real deal
(You won’t even feel)
A single blow

They’re passing right through…
(You)

[Outro]
Have you met
(A neutrino?)
They’re everywhere
(But hard to know)

Through your bones
(Through your shoes)
Through the Earth
(And out they cruise)

They’re passing right through…
(You!)

Pinball Lizard

[Intro]
Release the ball!
(Let it roll!)
Light it up!
(Lose control!)

Bing! Bang!
(Cling! Clang!)
Who’s got the flippers?
(Who’s got the bumpers?)

[Verse 1]
You pull me close, then push me away
You change the rules in the middle of play
One minute I’m winning, the next I’m in doubt
You keep me bouncing till I burn out

Left flipper, right flipper
(Who’ll remain…?)
Up the ramp
(Down the drain!)

[Instrumental: Guitar Riff]

[Pre-Chorus]
Bump me!
(Thump me!)
Send me flying through the air
Catch me!
(Release me!)
Do you even know I’m there?

[Refrain]
It’s plain to see
(You’re playing with me)
Hittin’ all the bumpers
(Drivin’ me bonkers)

Are you going to tilt
(Are you going to jilt?)

After all
(… I’m not a pinball)

[Instrumental: Psychedelic Jam]

[Verse 2]
You light up the targets, then shut off the lights
You send me ricocheting through the longest nights
Every time I think I’ve got the game figured out
You flip the whole table and turn me about

Ding-ding!
(Another score!)
Ka-ching!
(Then out the door!)

I’m chasing jackpots
(That never arrive)
How many more rounds
(Do I have to survive?)

[Pre-Chorus]
Bump me!
(Thump me!)
Keep me spinning in the game
Shake me!
(Break me!)
Then you tell me I’m to blame!

[Refrain]
It’s plain to see
(You’re playing with me)
Hittin’ all the bumpers
(Drivin’ me bonkers)

Are you going to tilt
(Are you going to jilt?)

After all
(… I’m not a pinball)

[Bridge]
There’s a little red light
(Flashing in my head)
A warning on the scoreboard
(That I should’ve read)

You keep me in motion
(But I choose the direction)
I’m done being bounced around
(Without my own reflection!)

You can pull the plunger
(You can start the game)
But you don’t own the ball
(And I won’t play the same!)

(Bing!)
(Bang!)
(Clang!)
(Ka-pow!)

Left!
(Right!)

Up!
(Down!)

Who’s playing who
(Is it me or you?)

[Breakdown]
Tilt!
(Warning!)

One more shove
(Goodbye, love!)

[Final Refrain]
It’s plain to see
(You’re playing with me)
Hittin’ all the bumpers
(Drivin’ me bonkers)

Are you going to tilt
(Are you going to jilt?)

After all
(… I’m not a pinball)

It’s plain to see
(I’m finally free)

Are you going to tilt?
(That’s your guilt!)

After all…
(… I’m not a pinball!)

[Outro]
Game over!
(Insert another coin!)

Game over!
(Enough kicks to the groin!)

Bing…
(Bang…)

[Intro]
Ready?
(Ready!)

Steady?
(Almost!)

One, two, three…
(Catch me!)

Jump!
(Whoa!)

Did you know…
(Here we go!)

[Verse 1]
I’m standing on the edge of a brand-new day
Got a head full of dreams and a plan underway
I might take a leap, I might lose my footing
But I’ll trust you to catch me if I start free-falling

You reach out your hand
(I reach out mine)
We meet in the middle
(And everything’s fine!)

It’s not about falling
(It’s learning to fly)
With someone beside you
(Who’ll give it a try!)

[Refrain]
Catch me
(I’ll jump)
… and rescue you

Together “we”!
(… we’ll pump)
Up!

(Up, up, up)
Yup
(Pump up!)

[Verse 2]
When your batteries fade and your engine runs low
I’ll be right beside you, helping you go
You bring the rhythm, I’ll bring the beat
We’ll put a little more bounce into our feet

Pump up the power
(Pump up the pace)
Give one another
(A little more grace)

To stumble, to learn
(To change, to grow)
The higher we climb
(The better the show!)

[Refrain]
Catch me
(I’ll jump)
… and rescue you

Together “we”!
(… we’ll pump)
Up!

(Up, up, up)
Yup
(Pump up!)

[Bridge]
If I fall
(Will you be there?)
If I stumble
(Will you care?)

If we both lose our balance
(And tumble down)
We’ll find our feet
(And turn it around!)

[Breakdown]
Catch me!

Gravity…
(Set us free.)

Up!

Feel the sunshine falling

Leave the heavy baggage

There’s so much magic
(In the light of day)

[Verse 1]
Woke up with the world upon my shoulders
Yesterday was weighing on my mind
But the older that I get, the more I notice
There’s a little more of life to find

See the sparrow dancing on the railing
See the clouds go wandering along
Hear the distant children laughing
Every little sound becomes a song

Be a dizzying height!

(Try…)
Looking down
(From on high)
Getting a grasp
(On all that’s passed)
Fast…
(Our time might not last)

Without Care

[Intro]
A little less feeling…
A little less there…
A world full of people
Who just don’t care.

You pass me by
With vacant stares…
Is anybody home
Behind that carefully careless airs?

[Verse 1]
You see the trouble
But look away
There’s always tomorrow
There’s nothing to say

Someone is falling
Someone is scared
You step around them
Like nobody’s there

[Chorus]
Are you…
(Carefree?)
… is it true
(Or could it be…)

… not without a care
(You’re without care)
Forgot how to find…
(… being kind?)

[Verse 2]
The news keeps coming
The numbers climb
Another disaster
Another headline

A hand needs holding
A voice needs heard
But you scroll right past it
Without a word

You say, “Not my problem”
You say, “Not my fight”
But indifference grows
In the absence of light

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Is your heart on vacation?
Is your conscience in stagnation?
Did you build a wall so high
You can’t hear the world outside?

[Chorus]
Are you…
(Carefree?)
… is it true
(Or could it be…)

… not without a care
(You’re without care)
Forgot how to find…
(… being kind?)

[Instrumental]

Careless…
(Or care less…?)
Confess…
(Feel less…)

[Bridge]
A little time
A lot more grace
Find the courage
To come face to face

[Final Chorus]
Are you…
(Carefree?)
… is it true
(Or could it be…)

… not without a care
(You’re without care)
Forgot how to find…
(… being kind?)

[Outro]
Are you…
(Carefree?)
Or just unaware?
(Of all that’s there)

… stop and see
(What you could be)
If you remembered
(How to care…)

[Outro]
The world doesn’t need
Another empty stare…

It needs someone
Who’s willing to care.

Stumbled Upon

[Intro]
Walking in circles
Following signs
Looking for something
I couldn’t define

A door left open
A light in the rain
A voice in the distance
Calling my name

[Verse 1]
I wasn’t looking for a reason
Wasn’t searching for a clue
I was halfway through the evening
When the world came into view

[Pre-Chorus]
You can look until you’re blind
Chase the truth you hope to find
Then the universe rearranges
… questioning the definition of strange

[Refrain]
I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The question…
(“Be my dancer”)

I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The question…
(“Will you be my dancer”)

[Verse 2]
The answer wasn’t the ending
… rather another start
The truth worth defending
Leaves a doorway to the heart

One more step into the unknown
One more rhythm in the air
I was dancing on my own
Then I turned and you were there

[Refrain]
I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The question…
(“Will you be my dancer?”)

I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The suggestion…
(“Be my dancer”)

The answer came to me
Dancing to the melody
… sets the question free

Step to the left
Step to the right
Turn with the rhythm
Into the light

[Refrain]
I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The question…
(“Will you be my dancer?”)

I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The suggestion…
(“Be a dancer”)

I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

Dance…
(At every chance)

I stumbled upon…
(The answer)

The question’s…
(Solution)

“Be a dancer?”
DANCE!

[Final]
I stumbled upon…
(The answer!)
The question…
(“Will you be my dancer!”)

I stumbled upon…
(The answer!)
The solution…
(“Be a dancer!”)

[Outro]
I wasn’t looking
I didn’t plan
I found the answer
When you took my hand

I stumbled upon…
(The answer!)
The question…
(“Be my dancer!”)

One little question
One little chance
I found the answer…

When you asked me to dance.

On My Way

[Intro]
Hey, hey, hey!
Whoa-oh, oh-oh!
Hey, hey, hey!
I’m on my way!

[Verse 1]
I’ve seen the darkness, I’ve felt the rain
I’ve watched the world go round again
Now the morning brings a light
Another chance to get it right

No looking back at yesterday
No wasting time on what they say
I’ve got a dream I can’t ignore
Taking the step means so much more

[Refrain]
Yes…
(I’m on my way)
Hey, hey, hey!

For the best…
(Hey, hey, hey)
I’m on my way
(To a better day)

Yes…
(I’m on my way)
Hey, hey, hey!

Come what may…
(Hey, hey, hey)
I’m on my way
(To a better day)

[Verse 2]
We’re all just trying to find our place
To leave a little hope and grace
A little kindness, a little truth
A chance to dream like we did in youth

We don’t need riches piled up high
Just open hearts and an open sky
And if we stumble, if we fall
We’ll rise together, one and all

[Refrain]
Yes…
(I’m on my way)
Hey, hey, hey!

For the best…
(Hey, hey, hey)
I’m on my way
(To a better day)

Yes…
(I’m on my way)
Hey, hey, hey!

Come what may…
(Hey, hey, hey)
I’m on my way
(To a better day)

[Bridge]
No more waiting for a sign
No more standing out of line
Feel the heartbeat, hear the sound
Telling us there’s a way around

If you hear me, sing along
If you feel it, make it strong
Side by side, we’ll find the way
We’re building a better day!

Hey!
Are you ready?
(Hey, hey, hey!)

Are you coming?
(I’m on my way!)
Keep on moving!
(Hey, hey, hey!)

Keep on believing!
(In a better day!)

[Final Refrain]
Yes…
(I’m on my way)
Hey, hey, hey!

For the best…
(Hey, hey, hey)
I’m on my way
(To a better day)

Yes…
(I’m on my way)
Hey, hey, hey!

Come what may…
(Hey, hey, hey)
I’m on my way
(To a better day)

Yes!
(I’m on my way!)

Hey, hey, hey!
(I’m on my way!)

For the best!
(Hey, hey, hey!)

I’m on my way…
(To a better day!)

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey!
I’m on my way!

Hey, hey, hey!
To a better day!

Whoa-oh, oh-oh!
We’re on our way!

Yes…
We’re on our way!

Two steps behind
You got the advantage
I’ve got the time!

A little ahead
But I’m still moving

No looking back!

Obviously…
(Obviously!)
Naturally…
(Naturally!)

I might be behind
But I’m changing my view
I’ve got a leg up
When I learn from you!

Obviously…

Or one step behind
There’s always a way
If you make up your mind

Back up on the horse…
(Of course!)

Now, let’s ride!

Ride! Ride! Ride!

… and thrive!

Circumstance Dance

[Intro]
Hey! Hey!
Round and round
We move the ground
Turn it up
And feel that sound!

Step to the left
Step to the right
Catch that rhythm
Feel the night!

[Verse 1]
You can’t choose the cards
That you get to play
Can’t control the weather
Or the words they say

You can’t stop the clock
When the hands move on
But you can find the rhythm
The beat’s in the song

[Pre-Chorus]
When the world goes sideways
Don’t just stand and stare
Find the beat that’s hiding
In the crazy everywhere

If the road gets bumpy
Let your feet respond
Turn the unexpected
Into something you can dance on!

[Chorus]
The perfect circumstance
(Dance!)

Shake your groove thing
(Sing!)

DANCE!

The perfect circumstance
(Chance!)

Give the world a second glance
(Advance!)

DANCE!

[Verse 2]
Sometimes you get nowhere
Running in a line
Then a little change of direction
Makes the moment shine

[Pre-Chorus]
When the plans unravel
When the pieces fall
Find a little movement
In the middle of it all

Let the bass line guide you
Let the backbeat lead
You don’t need permission
To get up and proceed!

[Chorus]
The perfect circumstance
(Dance!)

Shake your groove thing
(Sing!)

DANCE!

The perfect circumstance
(Chance!)

Give the world a second glance
(Advance!)

DANCE!

[Instrumental Break]

Bass!
(Let it roll!)
Drums!
(Feel your soul!)

Guitar!
(Take your chance!)
Everybody!
(Circumstance dance!)

Hey! Hey!

DANCE!

[Bridge]
Perhaps no perfect plan
Let’s just does what it can

You can’t command the falling rain
You can’t erase the growing pain
But when the rhythm comes around
You can turn it into sound!

Step by step
(Find your way!)
Beat by beat
(Make your day!)

Round and round
(Here we go!)
Let that circumstance
Become your show!

[Breakdown]
Freeze!
(Hold that pose!)
Wait!
(Here it goes!)

Take your stance…
For the circumstance dance

[Final Chorus]
The perfect circumstance
(Dance!)

Shake your groove thing
(Sing!)

DANCE!

The perfect circumstance
(Chance!)

Let the rhythm take command
(Advance!)

Take the a chance

Shake your groove thing
(SING!)

DANCE!
Hey! Hey!

Making Music

[Intro]
One, two, three, four!
Plug it in
(Begin!)
Turn it up some more
Fill the room
(Make it boom!)

Hands on strings
(Feet on the floor)
Got a little rhythm
(Give me some more!)

[Verse 1]
Got an idea
Got a sound
Got a melody
Spinning round

Grab a guitar
Hit a chord
Make some noise
Break the board

No time waiting
No time thinking
Catch that spark
Before it’s sinking

Second by second
Tick by tick
Got to make it
Make it quick!

[Refrain]
Quick! Quick! Quick!
(Making music)
Jump into the thick
(Making music)

Quick! Quick! Quick!
(Guitar lick)
Making music
(In the nick)

Quick! Quick! Quick!
(Making music)

[Verse 2]
Bass line bouncing
Drums attack
Find a groove
And bring it back

Layer a vocal
Add a sound
Build it up
Then tear it down

Synths are flashing
Guitars ignite
Chasing that feeling
Into the night

No perfection
No disguise
Let the happy accidents
Surprise!

[Pre-Chorus]
Catch the moment
Catch the beat
Put the music
On repeat

[Refrain]
Quick! Quick! Quick!
(Making music)
Jump into the thick
(Making music)

Quick! Quick! Quick!

Don’t need a million-dollar room
To make a little thunder bloom
Don’t need a perfect master track
To get the feeling coming back

Got that beat?
(Stick it!)
Found that sound?
(Rebound!)
Got that spark?
