LYRICS
Tried to tell ya
Tried to warn ya
Does it concern ya
Or can’t you hear?
Oh, Dear… I do fear….
Read my lips
We’re in deep $hits
Loose lips
Sinking ships
Oh, Dear… get me outta here

Look at the view
Do I know you
Tried to show you
Or can’t you see
Are you blind to all that is kind
It’s troubling me

Play more music
Heals the sick
Easily found
Spread the sound
Quick! More music

The day unfolds
Like a love letter from an envelope
As sky of golds
Weds a blue hue… they elope

Creation, as in birds and be [sic]
Off to make a happy family
Motivation comes on naturally
Off to elevate society

Embrace the day
Right through to twilight
It fades away
Then, fashions a passion into the night

Day after day
Turns into a lifetime
Along the way
Doing what you can? Tryin’, I’m

LYRICS
Can’t wait
Blank slate
Can’t wait
To get down to it

Blank page
Open cage
Blank page
And time to fill it

Have you heard
That the word
Is mightier than the sword

Obstruction

Does looking in the mirror
Make you feel queerer
When your image is clearer
The truth is getting nearer

This just is justice

LYRICS
Go back to start
To find your heart
Gather your head
And move ahead
Pick up a piece of peace
Live up life’s second lease

A day is found above ground
Open eyes look around

Start jumping for joy
Take a breath… enjoy
I realize
Life’s my prize
Pick up a piece of peace
Live up life’s second lease

A day is found above ground
Open eyes look around

LYRICS
Are we really going on this ride again
All the debauchery wrapped in sin
We don’t know but here we go
One man comedy and tragedy show
Better hold tight with all your might
To the lip a bite… 3rd eye insight

Pushed the button “start” to begin
Who knows where we’re going or where we’ve been
Rock and rolling to and fro
Wait for fate to strike the final blow
Watching the days wasting to night
Come on now! We gotta get this right

LYRICS
As I gape
At Merlin’s great escape

Through the valley of the giants
And a giant rat that rants
Overheated. Run out of coolants
In the land of the ignorants

The King is a Queen
Lacking self-esteem
Takin’ it out by being mean
Woke-up in a nightmare dream

The Grim Reaper renders
Souls surrendered
No on remembers
From render to rendered

From Ygraine came Arthur
Now for Merlin to take it further
Dear Guinevere you’d fear
Ya gotta get out of here!

As I gape
At Merlin’s great escape

LYRICS
Pink shoes
And bad tattoos
I suppose you’ve nothing to lose

Might as well pierce your tongue
If your battle can’t be won
Put another hole in your head
Then, put yourself to bed

Maybe a nose ring
Is just the thing
Or to probe
How to stretch my earlobe

I hate to say goodbye
But if you can’t answer why…?

LYRICS
Tag! Now, you’re it
You’re it and you can’t quit

From the early, early, dawn
’til you start to yawn
From the early, early mornin’
The first crack of light
To the darkest depths
In the middle of the night

Stay and play away
This ain’t got nothing to do with money
You can’t come up until you do something funny

Knock, knock
Who’s there?
Heaven’s door
Heaven’s door, who?
Heaven’s door
Should have come up with more for sure
Who knew?

Is that all that you’ve got
To turn away and shake your head?
Then, can you explain “why not?”
Why are you complicit with the dread

I’ve a favor to ask of you
Deliver your heart
To a better view
Please let’s start
What we should do

Happiness we’ll pursue
Given life anew
Happiness will ensue
Given life anew
Happiness will pursue

LYRICS
Are going perverse
Out of the universe
Laws of physics averse

‘fraid of the terminal human curse
‘fraid you’ll be driving off in a hearse
‘fraid you”l be buried six feet deep
And into your brain the worms will creep

Prefer to live in science fiction
Claiming out can live without friction
Slide right into another contradiction
Before you’ll admit to an Earthling addiction

Believe you can believe in make-believe
Annihilating any pet peeve
The only reality you can conceive
Is where morals, ethics and logic bereave

No! I’ll never say never ever again
No, never!
Even if they discover
… hell froze over

When did I begin
Becoming the poster child
For self-contradiction
Some sick logic gone wild

And always is just about as rare
As never
Always is never good to compare
Whenever

I guess there is an exception or two
Two, too
Such as 1 is 1 always holds true
No matter what you do

I can never live forever
Never
Always 100% chance of weather
Forever

LYRICS
When are they gonna set the bail
It’s been too long within
Why is there even a trial
When I’ve done nothin’

The hypocrite throws a fit
That’s it just quit

Ya know I’d love to set sail
It’s time that they let me out
The real crime’s puttin’ me in jail
It’s enough to make a sane man shout

The hypocrite comes equipped
For your wings to be clipped

Into my coffin the final nail
No! Surely, I’ll be set free
Or to the hypocrite must I hail?
What happened to our democracy
