LYRICS
When the bone gets in the way
Fills the cavity
No holes for the eyes to see
No space for the brain to be
Made our bodies from clay (… they say)
God! I find this odd
No holes left for the eyes to see
Clearly
Narrow marrow
Am I alone… thinking solid bone?

Bone meets bone
When the bone meets the bone
Fusion illusion

Does anyone know what time Festivus starts?

LYRICS
Come on and get Festivus with us
Come on and get Festivus
With the rest of us (God rest ye merry gentlemen)
A massive Christmas
For the masses
You know
Under the mistletoe
At the corner of Easy Street and Holiday Way
(OK? What do you say)

Krampus put a cramp in your style
Well, stick him in a sack
And whack him with a stick (That’s it. Quick!)
Get your Christmas style on for a while

Forget about the bearded toothless hag
Just stuff Krampus in a bag
Put on your Santa suits
With the big, black, shinny boots

Pop! Up on the rooftop
Down the chimney
Slap your knee
Stomp your foot
Shake off the soot

LYRICS
Perhaps too fond
Of playing James Bond
(Grew too fond
Of playing James Bond)

Thyself conned
Playing James Bond
About conceit… admitting defeat
Perhaps I’ve gone beyond
Playing James Bond
(Grew too fond
Of playing James Bond)

Realization dawn
I ain’t no James Bond
I can see… shaken and stirred… crazy
Stir crazy
A fantasy only you can see
When you’re playing James Bond
007 in hell or heaven
The magic wand of Bond

Bond. James Bond.

Ho, ho, ho
I didn’t know

In a peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late

Holiday treat
It’s not too late for a holiday treat

I didn’t know
A package wrapped with a bow
Wrapped all nice and neat
Sweeeeeet

Wouldn’t you know
All wrapped neat and tied with a bow

In a peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late

A peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late
For a holiday treat
Sweet!

LYRICS
A full view of dancing with you

Caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye
And, I…
I had to get the full view of dancing with you

Full view of dancing with you
Dancing with you
You turned my head
Then I said
No matter how far or how near
As long as it’s clear
Full view of dancing with you
Dancing with you
Taking in the full view
Of dancing with you
Could be as far as across the dance floor
… maybe more
As long as it’s clear
The view of dancing with you
As long as it’s clear
It could be near
Next to me
Clearly
The view of dancing with you
If you can sense my scent like I can sense your scent
It’s like a present
Heaven sent
Don’t want to escape the nape
… of your neck
What the heck?
As long as it’s clear… clearly to see
The view of dancing with you

LYRICS
And I don’t even know what it means
… so it seems

Adani… and I don’t even know what it means
If it’s all the same, I can play that game
You talk the waltz
You walk the waltz
You waltz the waltz
Just like peppers go with salts

The movement feels so good like it should
Keeps you warm and comfortable
And… when you’re comfortable, it’s more comfortable for all

I don’t even know what it means… so it seems

Want to find a bus for all of us
To take a magical mystery tour
A roadtrip for sure
On the magic bus
Come on! Hop on the bus with us!
The air there is thick with music
While we gain a piece of mind with a peace that’s mine
Drive for hours with a piece of peace that’s yours
’till we feel fine with a peaceful piece of ours
Just hop on the bus, Gus… don’t need to discuss much
Gonna sing and frolic and such
Quick! Hop on the bus

Before it’s all amiss
Let your dreams spawn
