LYRICS
So it’s told there is a place
That’s beautiful
In this world there is a race
That’s peaceful
Homo Sapien keep on tryin’
When you fall down
Try and try agin’
Humankind is findin’
Kind is all around
To be found

Yes, they say in outer space
There’s an alien
In the day of this race
Called human
Homo Sapien keep on tryin’
When you fall down
Try and try agin’
Humankind is findin’
Kind is all around
To be found

LYRICS
What’s causing such a stir
Dizzy
Everything’s all a blur
No time for such a stir
Busy
Everything’s all a blur
The changes that you put me through
Are causing a commotion
The ranges of your “brew and stew”
Are extreme emotion

What’s the deal, baby
You are driving me crazy
With your flippant attitude
And your manners oh so rude
Tell me what’s the deal, baby
You are driving me crazy
With an intellect too crude
Eating babies for your food

LYRICS
I hope you’re aware
If you kick the feet
Out from under your chair
Defeat
You won’t be there
Beware!
You’ll be down there

Just a full blown fool
Kicks out the feet
From under their stool
Defeat
Defeat
You won’t be there
Beware!
You’ll be down there

Rollin’ on the floor some more
Do it once, lesson learned
Do it twice, thyself burned

I hope I don’t tug
Pulling out the rug
From under my feat
Defeat
I won’t be there
Beware!
I’ll be down there

LYRICS
When I think of you
I think of dreams come true
The embodiment
Of the body meant
By the numbers
Mind number
When you twirl your hair
Spring is in the air
Flowers start to bloom
Hearts go boom

When I think of you
I think of dreams come true
The embodiment
Of the body meant
By the numbers
Mind number
I hear the birds sing
Colors get a zing
When I get to know
How everything can glow

LYRICS
Try to steer clear of the fear
Try to steer near to the dear
Reality will appear
Just as soon as you begin
To tune in
The light comes shinning through
The light takes over you
The world is coming to

Try to steer clear of the rear
Try to steer near to the hear/here
the sound will adhere
Just as soon as you begin
To tune in
The light comes shinning through
The light takes over you
The world is coming to

Try to steer clear of the jeer
Try to steer near to the “we’re”
Unity cohere
Just as soon as you begin
To tune in
The light comes shinning through
The light takes over you
The world is coming to

Try to steer clear of the sear
Try to steer near to our sphere
In the atmosphere
Just as soon as you begin
To tune in
The light comes shinning through
The light takes over you
The world is coming to

LYRICS
When I saw the mountain
Just had to give a try
Need to know for certain
Just how high
I can get
With no regret
Life’s a bet

When I saw the river
Just had to give a try
Need to know “deliver”
By and by
With the flow
Here we go
Need to know

At the fork in the road
Knew which path I should try
No matter the load
Just how high
I can get
With no regret
Life’s a bet

Here we go again
Jump in

At the starting line
Getting ready to make time
When you hear the gun
Start to run… run!
Lurch off or you perch

Just in time the finish line
Let your glory shine
Omen of a showman

LYRICS
Yes, I suppose
I’m one of those
Though if I chose
Avoid the woes / whoas
Of segmentation
Generalization
Invalidation
Segmentation
Damn damnation

Yes, I suppose
I’m one of those
I’ve got 10 toes
Eyes and a nose
What segmentation
Of civilization
Regurgitation

Damn damnation

Yes, I suppose
I’m one of those
Is it my clothes
Or the wind blows…
Your imagination
To segmentation
Invalidation

Love
Love at first sight
Kiss her goo night
Forget the fright
Step out of the light
You know…
Into the afterglow
Stars
Stars in your eyes
You did
Oh how cupid…

Stars in our I’s
Lucid
The hearts surprise

Hearts start to understand
Falling in love
How do we land
Push came to shove
Falling in love

My mind goes round and round instead
Will I ever get ahead
A head ahead
Fast stead steadfast
Free me at last
(A head ahead)

In the narrow and the straight
Can’t move forward at any rate
Mind goes round and round instead
Will I ever get ahead
A head ahead
Fast stead steadfast
Free me at last

In the cold and dark of night
Looking for a sliver of light
In sight insight
A head ahead
Steadfast at last
In sight
A head

Mama's got a squeeze box
She wears on her chest
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets no rest

And the dog can't sleep
There's no escape from the music
In the whole damn street

LYRICS
I’m glad you made it
Glad you finally made it
To the show
Glad to watch you fade
Made the fade
Into the know
Yearn to learn by experimentation
Add curiosity stimulation
Mix the fix with fascinization

If you were expecting
Except an intermission
Your inner-mission
Face-to-face with outer space
(chorus)

The End. Please come again (again)
Until then… it’s time to begin
(chorus)
