Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m looking into you
Want to find out your point-of-view
I want to know everything you do

You seem to be the police of the world
You seem to be the boss of told
You seem to be an illustrator of disaster

Who do you think you are
You went to far

You are an impersonator
Who do you think you are…
God?
Or an impersonator
Wearing funny clothes
Some sort-of uniform
Cause you want to swarm
With your hate and evilness
You’re not at home with peace
Not in the least

I’m looking into you

Looking Into You.mp3

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you’re so bold
The truth be told
You never do walk alone

Though I’m walking
Through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil
I know you will
Do more than walk the talk
When it comes to wrath

You are with me
Your rod and staff
Comfort me
Your rod and staff
Set me free

You never walk alone

Never Alone.mp3

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you want to hear something really weird?
There’s a lady with a beard
A blockhead pounding nails in his nose
Do you think he knows?

This is a sideshow
Looks like we’re part of the sideshow

Do you want to see something really strange?
How life gets rearranged

Sideshow
Some kind of sideshow

Do you want to hear something really weird?
There’s a lady with a beard
And, it’s as scary as you feared
They’ve got Siamese twins
And, a lady who ain’t too thin
Good news is…
Everyone can win

“Everyone’s a winner!
Step right up
Step right this way”

Sideshow
Sneak a peak at a freak
Do you want to hear something really weird?
All those things you thought you held dear
Are fleeting
There ain’t no beating
That Grim Reaper
So while you’ve got your life
Be a keeper

Want to see something really strange
See how your life gets rearranged
First you’re young
Then you’re old
Then you remember what people told
With age comes wisdom
Experience
And, you’ve seen this sideshow
Nothing to surprise you now
Unless somehow
You revert back to your childhood
And, you can gain that innocence
As part of your presence

Do you want to hear something really weird?
You can gain that essence as part of your presence (presents)

Want to Hear Something Weird? .mp3

LYRICS
The wind
Whips and winds through the branches
To be on its way

The light of day
Moving like a wave
Moving like a particle
Some would say
It’s like a miracle

The water
Floats down stream
Leaving the rocks in between
And, the current
Can’t quite be seen
But, it’s moving through too
As it’s passing through the stones
Of the riverbed
If you listened real closely
You would’ve heard it said

It’s most peculiar
The mysteries of nature
For sure
Leave me in wonder

You call this lucky?

I don’t want to write
About my lost girl
I don’t want to write
About my fast car

I’d rather write how life’s an oyster
And, you’re the pearl
I’d rather write how life’s a cloister

So, hold on tight
We’ll write, write, write

Let me tell ya a story

LYRICS
Everybody out of the pool!
Look out
Here comes the flood
Unless you don’t want your blood
As long as you want your blood to flow
I hope you know…
Know how to swim

The situation
Your going against the current
By the way
You’re not making any headway
When you’re swimming up stream
No matter what you deem
When you’re swimming up stream
No matter what you deem
So, I hope you know how to swim
If you forgot, I hope you remember again
Got to swim
Here comes the flood
Got to swim
Here comes the flood

If you know how to swim
There’s a chance to win

LYRICS
What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?
I can see your lips move
But, I can’t understand
What you demand

Who made you king of the world

What are you talking about?

Have you gone mad
Trying to make people sad

It’s been way too long that you’ve been wrong
I didn’t mean to be the one to point it out
But, there’s only so much you can dish out
What are you talking about?

LYRICS
Is she looking at me?

As she walks in the door
Across the dance floor
Beaming from ear-to-ear
With the smile upon her face
Drawing ever near
Wrapping arms around me in an embrace

Is she looking at me?

She looks me in the eye
Then, I know
She looks I in the eye
Then, I knew
Oh, yeah! She’s looking at me

It feels oh so good
The way she wraps her arms around me
It’s a glimpse of heaven I see

Ahhh… she’s looking at me

When you listen to the music
It’s therapeutic
Clearing the way

When you play away the music

Here we go

Here we go
Into the know
Gather together
Hopefully, this time the bond… forever

Here we go

And, then so
We can know
We can know what it means be
We can know what it means see
We can know what it how it feels
We can know what it means to be real

Here we go

Enough of the to and fro
Here we go

We can have more with less

Here we go

LYRICS
My oh my
You think you can make that pig fly

Fat chance
If you think you can get that pig to dance

You might as well be writing some paperback romance
’cause you’re dreaming
In case you didn’t get it
You’re having a nightmare
And, I can only see one way clear —
Wake up!

There’s no way you will remain
Unless you pray for an angelic refrain
