LYRICS
Oh, yeah, just a little wound-up
How ’bout some more
Oh, yeah, just look where you wound-up
Need I say more?
Oh, yeah, glad that I found out
Less stress no doubt
Oh yeah, get a little wound-up
And then some more
The dog’s in the dog house
What “quite as a mouse”?
Found out wound-up is where I want to be
Will you merry me?
Capture a glimpse of civilization
A bit too late for procrastination
Maybe you better sweat it a bit
Before we all take a hit
The dog’s in the dog house
What “quite as a mouse”?
Found out wound-up is where I want to be
Will you merry me?

LYRICS
Gave up “Flat Earth Society”
When plopped at birth… due to gravity
Tales of chemtrails never fails
To let the light shine through on you
Ask you “know” questions
You tell “know” lies
Comes as no surprise
Did your brain get going
Without you knowing?
Got up and left
Leaving the daft
… leaving no mind behind
(Be kind!)
What do you know about GMO?
So, do you sow your own row?
Amongst a billion reptilian
Give the alien race space
Ask you “know” questions
You tell “know” lies
Comes as no surprise

LYRICS
Why don’t we all praise God
At least a little
Though I don’t really like to use the word
Thanks for putting the talent on Earth
Please give me guitar…. give me drums…
Please give me management that can count some sums
Maybe Greg Davis on the guitar
… George Manney on drums
We’ll let Stanton count the sums
(Oh, yeah! Bring on the Revue with Bob Beru, too)
Kurrey can create the tune
The clapping keeping time
Debbi Calton introduces the band
Hey! With Michael Tearson lending a hand
Why don’t we all praise God
At least a little
Though I don’t really like to use the word
Thanks for putting the talent on Earth
Please give me guitar…. give me drums
Please give me management that can count some sums
Maybe Allen James on the guitar
Leaving space… for Garry Lee on bass
Peace Creeps and the Preferred Few,
Nicky Sbaffoni, Terence Donnelly,
More than I can ask for… how about you?
And, then…
I come to learn, Fern…
Fern will take us home.

LYRICS
Dum, dum, do, deo, do, de, do, dum… dum
At the time, you know the time
and, by the way, on the day
Almost like you can smell it in the air
They set the verse to rhyme
Then, there
They strum
They drum
Rhythm is born and then bears a vibration
ABOUT
The song was written at 4:20 on 4-20-2012 at a reggae music festival, Wall Street International, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“I am a stranger”
Stranger, I am
Stranger than you
An Alien?
“I come in peace”
A piece I am
More than a pwan
Are you?
“Take me to your leader and there will be a massive reward for you in eternity.”
This note in my pocket
Is to notify you
There is no intelligent life on Earth —
the third planet from the sun.
We’ll guarantee your eternity
While mine is in jeopardy
