LYRICS
Have you developed a tumor
Seemed to have lost your sense of humor
When you’re thinking funny
The skies are sunny [milk and honey… birds sing and things]
Would you rather be in a tomb, or
Have a sense of humor
[laughter / instrumental]
Even if you’re a late bloomer
Get a sense of humor
It’s more than a rumor
Fountain of youth is a sense of humor
Have you developed a funny bone?
Now we’re coming home

LYRICS
It’s a magical, mystical moment
Enchant
You can’t help but enchant
It’s your nature for sure
I appreciate your moment lent
A magical, mystical moment
Gonna start by holding you close to my heart
Love takin’ you in
Savorin’ takin’ you in
A hypnotic chant
Brain implant
Magical, mystical moment
Enchant
Don’t want to forget the moment
Good thing I can’t
Enchant

LYRICS
Hope I don’t fall or hit the wall
As I embark
Hope I don’t fall or hit the wall
Stumbling in the dark
Maybe I should have stayed in bed
Then run the risk of hitting my head
Better off risking that my head bled
Then to wake up finding everyone dead
Stumbling, fumbling, searching
In the dark
Searching for light in the dark
A little flicker… do you know the glow?
Some sort-of spark
Becoming the welder’s arc
Building in the dark
Love seldom leaves a mark
When lighting up the dark

LYRICS
My Dear Heart, the clouds start to part
So the light can begin flooding in
Arisen in a baptism
Climb our of the chasm
And see the vision
See the vision chine
Time to shine fine
It’s your own doin’ if ya let the light in
If you don’t begin, how can it happen?
So let the light come flooding in
Arisen in a baptism
Climb our of the chasm
And see the vision
See the vision chine
Time to shine fine
Pull the shades
Open the blinds
As hate fades
Open the minds
When you open your heart, who knows what one finds?
Opening hearts and opening minds

LYRICS
You must be kidding me
Can’t believe the things I see
The relativity
Of spacetime gravity
It’s hard to believe
It’s gettin’ heavy
Damn it… the mass of our planet
Causing our morals to plummet
Another sister or brother
Turning on one another
Doesn’t anyone bother?
Make an effort to discover
Protesters protesting protesters
Like prehistoric raptors
Preaching like Southern pastors
More like rat bastards

LYRICS
Rastafari
Safari
On the Rastafari safari
Rastafari!
Some sort-of spiritual endeavor
That’s going to last for ever and ever
A spiritual endeavor
That’s going to last for ever
Gonna kill you with love
Rastafari safari
Rastafari safari
Rastafarian reptilian
A spiritual endeavor
There’s no responsibility for me
No! Not ever
Rastafari
Do you know why they call it dread
Dread not
Dread locked
Dread not
Lively up yourself don’t be no dread now
Hey, Bungalow Bill what did you kill?

LYRICS
Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?
How could the chicken cross the road
If it didn’t proceed
Why would a chicken cross the road
How would we ever know
Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?
I don’t get the yoke
But that’s the way the egg rolls
I don’t get the yoke
Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
Why did the chicken cross the road
Oh, why
Did Chicken Little fear a falling sky
Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?
I tell ya it’s cut throat
Chances are remote
Why did the chicken cross the road
Knowledge overload
Or knowledge underlaod

LYRICS
The End is coming
The only thing to fear is how near
The End is coming
There is no sense in running
The only thing to fear is how near
From the moment you’re born
You’re soon to learn
The only for certain
Is that I am
Marching
To some different drumming
We’re all marching
Toward the end that’s coming
Oh, my, my
We’re all gonna die
The End is coming
Only need fear how near
The only clarity
When it comes to certainty
Is the end is coming
So the only thing to fear is how near
The older you get the more it becomes clear
The only thing to fear is how near

LYRICS
[Pop!]
The bubbles rise
They float…
To the top
Then, they pop!
When they get there
They’re at home in the air
The bubbles rise
They float…
To the top
Then, they pop!
Bubbling
Bubbling toward the surface
And, suffice to say
They take on a new birth
In the atmosphere of Earth
The bubbles float…
To the top
Then, they pop!

LYRICS
Does anybody share the care
Is anybody there
Do you care to share
Does anybody anywhere share the care
Please let me know you’re out there
Do you have a concern about the level of care
That you can see anyone anywhere share
Or is it just all wrapped up in selfish
Selfish like some sort-of shellfish
The happy clam that I am
Don’t you think it would be fair
If we all learned to share the care
Don’t you think it would be alright
If we all gained some insight
Saw the light
See the light
Be the light
“We” the light

LYRICS
I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal
I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal
The act of kindness comes upon us
And for at least one day
We find a way
To be kind
It comes to mind
On Christmas Day
I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal
You can see humanity
See a human being humane
Slightly humane
It doesn’t just remain slightly
You can see humanity spreading growing like a weed
And, we’d appreciate if at least on Christmas Day
You’d find a way to say
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
On Christmas Day
I heard ’em say
I know it’s true
On Christmas Day for me and you
You can feel
It’s the real deal
I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal

LYRICS
This is a soundcheck… for a reggae sort-a thing… that will be extemporaneous
We’ve made it this far
Rather combine forces and become a star
We’ve made it this far
The I in the I
And the you in you, too
We…
We can determine destiny
Or, so they say
We’ve made it this far
Combine become a star
Become the star you know you are
We’ve made it this far
