LYRICS
As we’re whirling…
As we’re spinning around
I’m having trouble telling
Which way is up
Which way is down?
Every year
I travel around the sun
And just for fun
I turn around
Once a day
And after light
Once at night
Along the way….

LYRICS
If the Earth is flat
How long would that be
From end to The End
How long would that have been
Treading in thick logic
Wading in sick logic
Quick
If you went splat
On an Earth that’s flat
Where would that be at
Would you, too, be
Two dimensional
Or does your rational
Already escape me
You were tow dimensional all
Along… just wasting my song
With sick logic

LYRICS
They’ll say what they may
For today
But as day two get’s underway
Watch the sweater fray
Skating on thin ice
Might wanna think twice
As the cracks appear
As will your fear?
Let them say what they may
May I make my way
With insight in sight

LYRICS
Desire
Reign higher
Earth, wind, fire
Ultimately
All burns down
… just look around
Ashes to ashes
Desire
Transpire
Lifting consciousness higher
Setting hearts on fire
Ultimately
All turns up
Just stardust
… we’re just stardust
All tuned up
… foot in the stirrup
Ride, Captain, rid
Reign higher
Desire

LYRICS
No matter what you do
The faith I have in you
Is based on what you do
If it’s all a lie
That’s what I’ll take when I die
If it’s all for real
Then, life’s a real good deal
Are there pro’s and con’s to con
Or are all the pro’s long gone
Are there pro’s and con’s to con
Will your legacy live on and on
Are there pro’s and con’s to con
Or will our faith move on

LYRICS
Judging by the flow of the go
Must know something
I don’t know
Just in time
To get in line
Participate
In hurry up and wait
Will you take the cue
To add hast to what you do
Hurry up… hurry up and queue
It would be simply lovely of you
Fat cat caught in the rat race
Got caught with egg on his face
Revolutionary turning sedimentary
Energy burned by hypocrisy

Well, well, well
What have we hear?
Something sounds
A little queer
If the / y(our) contra-beat
Is contradictory
To the / y(our) story
I’m sorry
Turning glory
Into defeat
Rise up! Raise! Praise!
Real-eyes! Praise the / y(our) glory
Made in the image of…
Made in the image of…
Love

LYRICS
Then this revelation
Came crashing in
Like a tree
Through your roof
Or to your face
A hoof
Realization of the revelation
Came easy
Even if I felt
A little queasy
This revelation came crashing in
Like police
Through the door
Evidence… you need more?
In fact, Godsmacked
I see the light
Alright

LYRICS
A karmic lesson in good intention
A cosmic lesson in good intention
A deja vu do-si-do
A round-trip ticket to get in The Know
Here we go!
Being self-aware?
We’re already passed there
We’re talking sixth sense
Shared consciousness
Here we go… get in The Know
Transcending physics
With the power that’s music’s
Involuntary share
Approaching unconditional care
Can your hear… we’re getting near
Hope you id doesn’t care being left behind
All you need for this trip is a kind mind
Superego let go of what id did
Beyond what the ego does know
Into a meta-physical miracle

LYRICS
A snake charming hippie with his hair cut long
Tried to claim he knew the song
Couldn’t really help being wrong
’cause I make them up as I go along
All of us in an extemporaneous
Experiment
I think he got what I meant
A voodoo princess said she can’t miss this
As we stood, staring over the precipice
An impromptu voodoo rendezvous
In the groove move prove the hypothesis
(can’t miss this precipice)
All of us in an extemporaneous
Experiment
I think she got what I meant
An angel of mercy appeared in the choir
As trumpets rang out for the town crier
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! — royal decree
You create heaven on Earth, if you desire
All of us in an extemporaneous
Experiment
I think he got what I meant
Extemporaneous Experiment (Music Video).mp4
