[Instrumental Intro: Piano, Deep Sub-Bass Synth, Acoustic Guitar, Organ Swells, Tribal Percussion, Electric Guitar]

[Intro]
Question, question
(What’s the manifestation)
Round and round
The questions spin
Where do we end?
(Where do we begin?)

[Verse 1]
You say the future’s certain
(How do you know?)
You say you’ve got it figured out
(Where did you go?)

[Refrain]
Is your future
(In question?)
Are you “for sure”
(Or open for suggestion?)

[Verse 2]
Don’t confuse uncertainty
With having nothing planned
Sometimes changing course
Is how you make a stand

[Refrain]
Is your future
(In question?)
Are you “for sure”
(Or open for suggestion?)

[Bridge]
Look a little closer
(See what you find)
Change the way you’re thinking
(Change your mind!)

Because “I dunno”
Doesn’t mean “I don’t care”
It means I seek to know
(I’m still aware)

[Break]
For sure?
(No!)

Certain?
(Not yet!)

Written in stone?
(Not quite!)

Open for suggestion?
(You bet!)

[Instrumental]
[Questioning guitar]
[Restless piano]
[Building drums]

[Final Chorus]
In question!
(In question!)
Let the question ring
In question!
(What will tomorrow bring?)

[Final Refrain]
Is your future
(In question?)
Are you “for sure”
(Or open for suggestion?)

[Outro]
Is our future
(In question?)
Is truth so pure
(Or open for investigation?)

[Intro]
What’s he thinking?
(Without even blinking?)
What’s he been drinking?
(Kool-aid sinking?)

Look at his face
(What a disgrace)
Talking so loud
(Playing to the crowd)

[Verse 1]
He says he’s got the answer
(Every answer!)
He says he knows the way
(He knows the way!)

But every time the facts arrive
He sends them all away

He builds himself a little world
Where nothing can go wrong
Then anyone who questions it
(Just doesn’t belong!)

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it reason?
(Is it fear?)
Is it something
(We should hear?)

When the warning signs
Are plain to see
Why pretend
(That they can’t be?)

[Refrain]
What’s he thinking?
(Musta been kool-aid drinking)
Seems a bit mad
(Strikingly sad)

Is his mind sound
(For that matter… even found?)
Better look around

Insanity
(Vanity)
Tragically insane
(Lame… inane)

[Verse 2]
He hears a warning
(Calls it noise)
He sees the danger
(Calls it choice)

He takes a little truth
And twists it out of shape
Then wonders why the evidence
(Just won’t escape!)

A mirror on the wall
Reflecting what he wants to see
But the image keeps on changing
(Back to reality!)

[Chorus]
What’s he thinking?
(What’s he thinking?)
Maybe we should ask
What’s he drinking?
(What’s he drinking?)
Before we give him the task

Of deciding for the many
What the many ought to do
When the consequences
(Come back through!)

[Bridge]
Insanity!
(Vanity!)

Certainty!
(Reality!)

Look around!
(Listen up!)

When the facts come knocking
(Will you begin… to let them in?)

Or lock the door
And turn away?
(Once more…)
… another day

[Break]
Is his mind sound
(For that matter… even found?)
Better look around

Insanity
(Vanity)
Tragically insane
(Lame…)
Really quite a shame)

[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam]
[Churning bass]
[Transition to acoustic guitar]
[Whistle solo]

[Final Chorus]
What’s he thinking?
(Musta been kool-aid drinking)
Seems a bit mad
(Strikingly sad)

Is his mind sound
(For that matter… even found?)
Better look around

Insanity
(Vanity)
Tragically insane
(Lame… never to regain)

[Outro]
[Refrain]
What’s he thinking?
(Too much drinking)
… kool-aid…
(and throwing shade)

Gone bloody mad
(Tragically sad)

Unkind… his mind
(Never to be found?)
… too late to look around

[Intro]
[Low Sub-bass Synth Drone, Spoken Vocal]

I dunno
(If I would)
Maybe I should
(Maybe not)

There’s a little voice
Inside my head
Saying, “Think twice!”
(Before you’re dead!)

[Verse 1]
… see the road ahead
Now we’ve made the bed
… see a warning sign
(By bad design)

Future’s hazy…
(“Come on, let’s go!”)
I say, “Are you crazy?”

(I dunno!)

[Refrain]
I dunno
(If I would do that)
It looks a bit dangerous
(For all of us)

Do what?
(That.)
It looks quite outrageous
(Not to mention… ominous)

[Verse 2]
The river’s rising
The bridge is shaking
The ground is moving
(The mountain’s breaking)

Someone says
“It’s probably fine”
I look around and say:

(Not this time!)

The warning lights
Are flashing red
But somebody’s saying
“Go ahead!”

There’s always someone
Who wants to try
But sometimes wisdom says:
(Don’t lie!)

[Refrain]
I dunno
(If I would do that)
It looks a bit dangerous
(For all of us)

Do what?
(That.)
It looks quite outrageous
(Not to mention… ominous)
[Bridge]
Do what?
(That!)

Why?
(Because!)
… what if it does

(What if?)

Hold on!

(Wait!)

Anticipate

[Break]
Dangerous!
(Whoa!)

Outrageous!
(Whoa!)

Ominous!
(Oh no!)

Maybe…
(We shouldn’t go!)

No. Know when to go
(With the flow)

[Final Refrain]
I dunno
(If I would do that)
It looks a bit dangerous
(For all of us)

Do what?
(That.)
It looks quite outrageous
(Not to mention… ominous)

I dunno…
(I really don’t know.)

But before you blink…

(Let’s think!)

[Outro]
I dunno
(If I would do that)
It looks a bit dangerous
(For all of us)

Do what?
(That.)
… quite outrageous
(Could kill all of us.)

[Intro]
What’s that thing
(Over there?)
Fancy little widget
(Becoming scarce… rare!)

Is it useful?
(Is it not?)
Does it matter
(What you’ve got?)

[Verse 1]
A widget is a wonder
A doodad with a name
A gizmo with a purpose
(For just a bit of game)

But add a little fashion
And suddenly you bet
You’ve got a brand-new creature…

(What’s a widgette?)

[Refrain]
What’s a widgette?
(A female thingamabob)
As in a Rockette?
(A placeholder…)
(… for an economic job)

With fashion… bolder!

[Verse 2]
Could be supply and demand
Could be something on the shelf
Could be something you invented
(Just to entertain yourself)

[Pre-Chorus]
Put a price upon it
(Make it form a habit!)
Give it color and style
(So you’ll wear it for a while)

Call it what you want to
But when the money’s due…
(That little widgette
Might be looking back at you!)

[Chorus]
Widgette!
(What’s she got?)

Widgette!
(Quite a lot!)

Fashion, function
Price and pose
Who decides
(Who really knows?)

Widgette!
(Strut your stuff!)

Widgette!
(That’s enough!)

[Verse 3]
Maybe she’s a Rocket
Maybe she’s a Rockette
Maybe she’s a market
That hasn’t happened yet

She’s dancing through the data
She’s stepping through the stats
… pure accounting at the roots…
(In high-heeled combat boots!)

Price elasticity
(Shake it!)
Marginal utility
(Take it!)

Supply curve
(Dip!)
Demand curve
(Flip!)

[Bridge]
Is she a product?
(Is she a price?)

Is she a person?
(That don’t sound right!)

Is she an idea?
(Is she a threat?)

Or just a funny little…

(Thingamabobette!)

[Break]
Pick!
(Choose!)

Buy!
(Use!)

Sell!
(Trade!)

Who made…
(The grade?)

A!
(B!)

C!
(D!)

None of the above!
(Better stick to love)

[Instrumental]
[Fashion runway groove]
[Strutting bass]
[Piano and synth]
[Catwalk percussion]

[Verse 4]
Now fashion gets bolder
And economics gets weird
The labels get fancy
(The margins disappear!)

A widget becomes a widgette
A thing becomes a brand
A placeholder becomes somebody
(With a purse in her hand!)

And suddenly the market
Has something new to sell…

(Well, what do you call it?)
Well, well, well

[Final Chorus]
Widgette!
(What’s she got?)

Widgette!
(Quite a lot!)

Function, fashion
Price and pose
She’s whatever
(Who knows?)

Widgette!
(Strut your stuff!)

Widgette!
(That’s enough!)

[Final Refrain]
What’s a widgette?
(A female thingamabob)
As in a Rockette?
(A placeholder…)
(… for an economic job)

With fashion… bolder!

What’s a widgette?
(Do I get to pick and choose?)
Maybe she’s a widget
(With a different pair of shoes!)

With fashion…

(BOLDER!)

[Outro]
Thingamabob…

(Widgette!)

Economic job…

(Widgette!)

Don’t ask me what she is…

(I dunno!)

Wow! There she goes
(Oh, oh, oh)
She’s got style…
(Makes the shoppers smile!)

[Intro]
A, B, C, or D
(Which one will it be?)
Circle one answer
(That’s the key!)

But what if none
Of the choices fit?
What if the answer
Isn’t written in it?

[Verse 1]
I got a question
But the question’s strange
The choices are changing
As I rearrange

[Refrain]
Is this multiple choice?
(Do I get to pick and choose)
Do I get to raise a voice
(Determine win or lose?)

[Verse 2]
Do I get to question
The question itself?
Put the answer back
Upon the shelf

[Chorus]
Multiple choice!
(Pick and choose!)
Raise your voice!
(You can’t lose!)

Ain’t it funny
How we know
Only after
Where we go?

[Bridge]
Choose!
(Win or lose!)

Suggestion…
(Question!)

If you don’t like
The choices you see
Don’t just complain
(Think differently!)

[Break]
A!
(B!)
C!
(D!)

None of the above!
(Put love above!)

[Instrumental]
[Call and response guitar]
Pick and choose!
(Pick or lose!)

Raise your voice!
(Make a choice!)

[Final Refrain]
Is this multiple choice?
(Do I get to pick and choose)
Do I get to raise a voice
(Determine win or lose?)

[Outro]
A, B, C, or D…
(Or maybe E?)

The choice is yours
(To see)
To be
(Set yourself free)

[Instrumental Intro: Piano, Deep Sub Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Oran Swells, Tribal Percussion, Electric Guitar]

[Intro]
What are you looking for?
(What do you seek?)
Something you can’t quite see?
(Or just a peek?)

Round and round
The questions go
Higher and higher
(Where they lead, the mind glows)

[Verse 1]
Sneaking through the shadows
Peeking through the door
Searching for a little truth
Then searching for some more

[Refrain]
Sneak
(A peek)
Seek
(A peak)

See… a glimpse
(Of reality)

[Verse 2]
Climb the mountain
See the view
Step back farther
See what’s true

Zoom in close
(Granular!)
Zoom back out
(To be sure)

[Chorus]
Seek!
(Seek!)
Don’t be afraid to look
Seek!
(Seek!)
Be the scribe for the book

[Refrain]
Sneak
(A peek)
Seek
(A peak)

See… a glimpse
(Of reality)

[Bridge]
Seek the signal
(Through the noise)
Seek the meaning
(Through the voice)

Seek the question
(Seek the why)
Seek the answer
(Don’t deny)

[Break]
Sneak!
(A peek!)

Seek!
(A peak!)

Look!
(Closer!)

Look!
(Farther!)

What do you see?
(Can you tell me?)

[Instrumental]
[Searching guitar]
[Echoing piano]
[Whistling melody]

[Refrain]
Sneak
(A peek)

(A peak)

See… a glimpse

What are you looking for?

(A little truth…)

What are you looking for?

(A little proof…)

Sneak…
(A peek…)

Seek…

And peak.

[Intro]
Midnight rides
(Through the mist)
Hooves pound hard
(What’s that I missed?)

[Instrumental Intro: Deep Sub Bass, Echoed Guitar Swells, Horse-trot Tribal Percussion, Low-Frequency Drone Building From Near-inaudible Rumble]

A shadow crosses
The moonlit road
Something’s coming
(Heavy load)

[Verse 1]
Headless rider
On a midnight ride
Looking for something
He can’t find outside

He hears a voice
From somewhere near
Turns his horse
And disappears

A little farther
Down the way
Something strange
Begins to say:

[Pre-Chorus]
Who’s got the answer?
(Who knows?)
Where does the road go?
(Who knows?)

Left or right?
(Which one tonight?)
Pick your poison
(Hold on tight!)

[Refrain]
The headless horseman said:
“What’s that on the road…”
(A head)
Dread…
(If it is mine)

This hairless ape…
(Lookin’ for an escape)
… in the nick of time

[Verse 2]
I saw the horseman
I saw the head
I saw him looking
At what lay ahead

He said, “That’s funny
I know that face…”
Then his horse
Picked up the pace

“Is that my head?”
(He couldn’t tell)
“Maybe I’m dreaming…”
(What the hell?)

A head in the roadway
A horse in the night
A man with no head
Trying to make things right

[Break]
Came to a fork
(In the road)
Feelin’ like a dork
(Heart might explode)

Left goes nowhere
(Right looks worse)
Choose your direction
(Or choose the curse!)

[Chorus]
Fork in the road!
(Fork in the road!)
Which way to go?
(Which way to go?)

A… Head on the road!
(Ahead on the road!)
What do you know?

When the choices split
And the signs don’t show
You gotta pick a path
And let the other go

[Verse 3]
The horseman points
To the left-hand lane
The ape says,
“Buddy, are you insane?”

The horse goes right
Without a word
The rider screams
(That’s absurd!)

Found the answer
First, make the choice
Head to the light
Hear your voice

[Bridge]
Fork!
(In the road!)

Fork!
(What’s the code?)

Ahead!

(Where’s your head?)

Dread!

(What he said!)

Left!

(Right!)

Wrong!

(Or right?)

[Breakdown]
The horseman rides
The road divides
The moon hangs low
The river flows

A head rolls left
A horse rolls right
The ape runs screaming
Into the night!

[Instrumental]
[Galloping drums]
[Howling guitar]
[Spooky organ]

[Final Chorus]
Fork in the road!
(Fork in the road!)
Feelin’ like a dork!

Ahead in the road!
(A head in the road!)

[Final Refrain]
The headless horseman said:
“What’s that on the road…”
(A head)
Dread…

Fork in the road…

Pick a side…

Off with the pride!

[Instrumental Intro: Deep Sub Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Organ Swells, Tribal Percussion, Electric Guitar, Piano, Saxophone, Drum Fills]

[Intro]
I took a wrong turn
(Another bridge… burn)
Followed every road
(Just increasing my load)

Looking for an answer
I couldn’t quite explain
Chasing down a feeling
Through sunshine, storm, and rain

[Verse 1]
I was lost in the noise
Lost in the crowd
Lost in the questions
That shouted too loud
[Refrain]
I was lost
(And… at what cost?)
Now I’ve found
(The meanings in the sound)

[Verse 2]
I found a little rhythm
In the beating of the rain
Found a little harmony
On the other side of the pain

Found a voice in the distance
Found a hand reaching out
Wanting to learn all about
Moving beyond fear and doubt

[Chorus]
Lost and found
(Found and lost)
Turn it around
(What’s the cost?)

[Refrain]
I was lost
(And… at what cost?)
Now I’ve found
(The meanings in the sound)

[Bridge]
What if you don’t know?
(I don’t know!)
What if feel the flow?
(Say: That’s okay!)

We can learn together
We can search around
Is the “whether”
… hidden in the sound?

And if we lose our way
We don’t have to stay
We can turn around
And find another way

[Instrumental]
Listen to the sound…
(Found all around…)

[Refrain]
I was lost
(And… at what cost?)
Now I’ve found
(The meanings in the sound)

[Final Chorus]
Lost and found
(Found and lost)
Turn it around
(Troubles? Tossed.)

Loving others
(Like sisters… brothers)
Listen to the sound
(The meaning… of… love)
Of love!

[Outro]
I was lost…
(But now I’ve found)

I was lost…
(And now I hear)
It’s right here
(Hear?!?!)

The meaning…
(In the sound)

Found.

[Intro]
Well, the water came down
And the river ran wide
Mud in the middle
And nowhere to hide

[Verse 1]
I was standing on solid ground
Or so I thought I was
Then the rain came pounding down
And changed the way it does

[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh
(Just a stick in the mud)
Don’t you know
(Stuck here after the flood)

Oh, oh, oh
(Just a stick in the mud)
There I go
(Down with the rising flood)

[Verse 2]
Grain by grain
Stone by stone
Raise the strain
Submerged home

[Bridge]
You can call it mud
You can call it flow
You can call it trouble
When you see it go

Stick!
(In the mud!)

Slip!

Oh, oh, oh…

Don’t you know…

Just a stick…
(Just a in the thick…)
Just a stick in the mud.

[Intro]
Clouds are gathering
(Here they come)
Thunder’s rattling
(What have we done?)

[Verse 1]
Man walked out beneath the sky
Thought he knew the way
(Not really knowin’ why)

Built a world of steel and stone
(All alone… on his throne)
And harmed ‘er day by day

[Refrain]
Man,
(You brought the reign)
You bought the rain

Man, oh, man
(That ain’t no plan)
… ya can’t start over again

Man,

Rainman, Rainman
What did you expect?
You changed what was clear
To doom and fear

[Chorus]
You bought the rain!
(Bought the rain!)
You brought the pain!
(Brought the pain!)

Round and round
The energy goes
Down it falls
And up it flows

Rainman!

Look what you’ve done!
The reckoning has started
And the runoff’s on the run

Reign or rain?
(Rain or reign?)
Who’s in control?
(What’s your role?)

You changed the game
(It’s not the same!)

You changed the atmosphere

You bought the rain

Right where you want her?

A wall of water
A wall of mud
A wall of debris
Coming like a flood

The path to the sea
You can change its direction
But not her destiny

Here we go!
(Whoa, oh, oh)
Down the line!
(Faster than divine)

Water moving
All the time
Catch the current
(In the present)
Let it roll!
(Roll, roll, roll)

[Verse 1]
There’s a current underneath us
It’s present… are you aware
Drips drop on a journey
Moving here and moving there

[Pre-Chorus]
(Don’t fight the flow)
You can’t stop the river
(You already know)

[Refrain]
Let ‘er roll!
(Rolling down the river)
Roll, baby, roll
(The thrill will deliver)

[Verse 2]
Rain comes down upon the watersheds
Reign comes down upon our heads
Pebbles, sand and clay
Will make their way

[Chorus]
Let ‘er roll!
(Rolling down the river)
Roll, baby, roll
(The thrill will deliver)

Round the bend
(Energy send!)
Down the way
(Into yesterday!)

Let ‘er roll!

Can’t fight the tide
(Better step aside!)
… or go along for the ride

Where’s it going?
You know:

[Soft piano, gentle acoustic guitar]

Float it out
(Out it goes)
Let it drift
(Where it flows)

Too late to hold tight
(Despite your might)
A little thought
(Hey! Why not?)

[Verse 1]
A tiny spark of possibility
Before the work is ever done
Let the question find some daylight
Incite insight

[Refrain]
However remote
(Float!)
An idea
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)

Merrily, merrily
(Our dream is but a stream)
The scene seen
(Floats… sing the note)
Float!
An idea
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)

Down the stream of consciousness
Thought are gatherin’ speed
Ride as ideas collide
And becomes a different breed

[Chorus]
Float an idea!
(Let it fly!)
Float an idea!
(Reach the sky!)

Merrily, merrily
(Go with the flow)
You never know
(Where it will go)

Float an idea!
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)
Float!

[Refrain]
However remote
(Float!)
An idea
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)

Merrily, merrily
(Our dream is but a stream)
The scene seen
(Floats… sing the note)
Float!
An idea
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)

[Bridge]

What if?
(What if?)

Why not?
(Sought)

Could it be?
(Reality?)

Let it float!
(Hit that note!)

[Instrumental]
[Whistling melody]
[Acoustic guitar and piano]
[Percussion jam]

Float…

Float…

Float!

[Breakdown]
A thought becomes a question
(A question becomes a dream)
A dream becomes a vision
(A vision becomes a stream)

And when the stream is flowing
(You follow where it goes)
One little idea
Can change the way it flows

[Final Chorus]
Float an idea!
(Let it fly!)
Float an idea!
(Reach the sky!)

Merrily, merrily
(Our dream is but a stream)
The scene seen
(Floats… sing the note)
(Ahh, ahh, ahh!)

[Final Refrain]
However remote
(Float!)
An idea
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)

Merrily, merrily
(Our dream is but a stream)
The scene seen
(Floats… sing the note)

[Outro]
Float!
An idea
(Ahh, ahh, ahh)

Float!

[Soft whistling]

As we go…

(Into the flow…)

Don’t need a boat…

(Float!)

An idea.

(Ahh, ahh, ahh)

[Instrumental Intro: Deep Sub Bass, Echoed Guitar Swells, Slow Tribal Percussion, Low-Frequency Drone Building From Near-inaudible Rumble]

[Intro]

[Low Synth Drone, Spoken Vocal, Distant and Fragmented]

Listen to the water
(Do you hear it rise?)
Look across the valley
(See it with your eyes?)

Something’s moving
(Coming fast)
Something’s changing
(From the past)

[Verse 1]
Rain comes down
The ground can’t take it
Every channel fills
Who knows if we’re gonna make it—

To the bank
(Hope sank!)
Then another surge
(Splurge)
… who’s to thank?

[Pre-Chorus]
Up the creek
(Without a paddle)
Guess we’re about…
… to find out…
(There’s no way out)

[Refrain]
More surprises
(As the river rises)
Over the bank…
(Who’s to thank)

Rising higher
(Getting dire)
Higher, higher

[Verse 2]
Load it up
(Yup, up, up, up!)
Then let it pour
(Raging roar!)

[Refrain]
More surprises
(As the river rises)
Over the bank…
(Who’s to thank)

Rising higher
(Getting dire)
Higher, higher

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo]
[Bridge]
Higher than yesterday
Higher than before
Water at the doorstep
Water through the door

[Instrumental, Psychedelic Jam, Percussion]
[Breakdown]

Surprise!
(Rise!)

Higher!
(Dire!)

More!
(Than before!)

… coming through the door?

[Instrumental]
[Pounding drums]
[Rolling bass]
[Organ rising]

Higher…

Higher…

Higher…

[Final Refrain]
More surprises
(As the river rises)
Over the bank…
(Who’s to thank)

Rising higher
(Getting dire)
Higher, higher

More surprises
(More surprises!)

River rises
(River rises!)

Higher…

Higher…

Higher!

[Outro]
Watch the water…

(Watch it rise)

Watch the water…

(Before your eyes)

Higher…

Higher…

Dire!

From the album “Fluidization“

[Arrangement: Driving blues-rock/piano-rock with pounding drums, gritty electric guitar, Hammond organ, and a rolling bass line. Start tight and rhythmic, then build into a heavy fluidization breakdown.]

[Intro]
Piece by piece
Grain by grain
Rock and ice
In the rain

What was solid
Won’t stay still
Down the slope
Against its will

[Verse 1]
Get down to the smallest pieces
That’s where the story starts
Pebbles, sand and broken stone
Scattered parts of parts

[Refrain]
When you get down to the nitty gritty
(Granular)
Is it grand or is it a pity
(Spectacular)

A concoction
(Of debris)
Fluidization
(Headin’ for the sea)

[Verse 2]
Rock comes crashing down all around
Guess she’s breaking free
Infiltrate the fractures
Lubricate liquidity

[Refrain]
When you get down to the nitty gritty
(Granular)
Is it grand or is it a pity
(Spectacular)

A concoction
(Of debris)
Fluidization
(Headin’ for the sea)

[Bridge]

[Breakdown]
Rock!
(Rock!)
Mix it up!
(Mix it up!)
Shake it loose!
(Shake it loose!)

[Instrumental]
[Heavy guitar riff]
[Pounding piano]
[Hammond organ swell]
[Drums accelerate]

[Final Chorus]
Granular!
(Down to the grain!)
Spectacular!
(Here comes the rain!)

A concoction
(Of debris)
Fluidization
(Headin’ for the sea!)

Granular!
(Nitty gritty!)
Grandiose or a pity?
(Spectacular failure)

[Refrain]
When you get down to the nitty gritty
(Granular)
Is it grand or is it a pity
(Spectacular)

A concoction
(Of debris)
Fluidization
(Headin’ for the sea)

[Outro]
Grain by grain
Stone by stone
Water finds
It’s way home

Granular…
(Granular!)

Down to the nitty gritty…

(Headin’ for the sea!)
