LYRICS
Root of the utmost fruit
Sure will do it
Root of the utmost fruit
At the root of the utmost fruit
Is the source of the conduit
The sweetest nectar for sure
The juice to set you loose

LYRICS
Arrive at the doorstep
A secret that’s well kept
A surprise is due for you
An innovation in invitation
Rehearsing in reverse
A meditation in activation
Arrive to bring it alive
We’ll bring our own party
Can hardly be tardy
A surprise is due for you
Well how did you like it
We hope quite a good bit
The surprise was due for you

LYRICS
Since when did being a good boy
Mean you couldn’t have a fun
Perhaps the temptress of joy is coy
And your reality done
Turning your world upside down
All your silly notions start to drown
How’s it feel
Knocked back on your heel
For real?
Since when did being a good man
Mean you couldn’t get some
Perhaps the temptress of joy is coy
And your reality done
Turning your world upside down
All your silly notions start to drown
How’s it feel
Knocked back on your heel
For real?
Since when did being a wise man
Mean you can’t appear dumb
Perhaps the temptress of joy is coy
And your reality done
Turning your world upside down
All your silly notions start to drown
How’s it feel
Knocked back on your heel
For real?

LYRICS
Now here we lay
No longer led astray
The victor of the day
Now peace is on the way
O.K.
Oh the feel of love we’re soaking in
Let the fantasy we’ve dreamed begin
Took the load off our feet
Makes us light in the head
Though tired… feeling beat
Not quite ready for bed
… she said
Oh the feel of love we’re soaking in
Let the fantasy we’ve dreamed begin
Forever is a lifetime
To ask you to be mine
To put it quite simply
Be the one to ask me
My plea
Oh the feel of love we’re soaking in
Let the fantasy we’ve dreamed begin

LYRICS
What went up
Use to come down
Now there’s no logic
Anywhere around
The clocks are running backwards
In reverse takes you forward
Left left right
Right left out of spite
What goes around
Use to come around
Now there’s no reason
Anywhere around
What comes to life
Use to die
Don’t ask why
Death we do defy

LYRICS
Do your skies turn blue
Do your dreams come true
Do you enjoy doing the things you do?
You’re never alone
When Earth’s your home
The greatest gift of all
Is living ’til the fall
Of the curtain
(That’s for certain)
Do your skies turn bright
Is your life alright
Do the things you’re doing give you delight?
Are your skies cloud free
Is your mood happy
Do you enjoy being the things you be?

LYRICS
Seven eleven
Six of one… half dozen of the other
Or thirteen?
Not sure what it means
Is 7(11) 13?
7(11) a blessing from heaven
Vs. lucky #13… some spell from hell
The sine of a standing wave swell
Where the texture
Of the sound is found
Picture
A piece of peace
Shared ’round

From the album Spacewalk
LYRICS
Don’t ask which came first
Please don’t
“The chicken or the egg?”
Don’t say, “Break a leg!”
Please don’t (I beg)
Or my brain might burst
A gray matter splatter everywhere
Emptied skull lay bare
Ear to ear rushed full of air
No, there’s no membrane there
No “high or low road?”
Please no/know
“Which road do you take?”
Would have baked a cake
Please no/know
Or my head might explode
A gray matter splatter everywhere
Emptied skull lay bare
Ear to ear rushed full of air
No, there’s no membrane there

LYRICS
Ready to take flight into the light
Take flight into the light
Take flight
Feeling light
A thought not that far remote
Not that far remote
Afloat
Gliding in the flow of the timing
Reason and rhyming
Getting in a tailwind
Effortless in a bliss
Blowing kisses
Define the fine art that’s gravity defying
No denying
Lifted like wings full sail that sings
Lift brings
Smooth sailing
Getting in a tailwind
Effortless in a bliss
Blowing kisses

LYRICS
Ride high into the sky
Say good-bye
Rise high into the sky
Wave good-bye
The best time of my life
In the memories lie
Forever in your memory
Remember me
Ride up high into the sky
Say good-bye
Rise up high into the sky
Wave good-bye
Forever now and more
I’m just a memory
Forever now before
Remember me

LYRICS
One of these things is not like the others
One of these things is unique
One of these things is not like the others
Tell me… what do you think?
Has the leopard changed his spots
I tend to think not
Is that horse in striped pajamas
Or a zebra gone bananas
Does it come as a great surprise
You’ve won the door prize
Open it if you choose
Close it… you lose
Does a horse of a different color
Start to make you holler
Does jellyfish come with peanut butter
Would it make you feel any better

LYRICS
When I was just a little boy
My Mom said, “You’re such a big boy”
Destined to be man
I am to be man
As I began to grow
Eventually, I came to know
The old soul I was
Because….

LYRICS
And, to each his own
What do you own?
And, to each his own
What have you?
(You do you?)
The right might make might right
In their imagination
Don’t understand the slight of hand
In their concentration
As is the case of the off-base base
The lack of basic logic
Turned to sick bigot bull$hit
So thick
You’re up to your redneck in it
Do you even own your own body?
Somebody said “From whence you come”
Your remains will remain
In between is our own suspense
In between is our own essence
In between is our own existence
Own your own existence
(Get it while you can
… before been

LYRICS
Oh so glad to be here
Feel alive
Feel the warmth get near
Got to strive
Though it’s cold out here in space
Earth is hot for the human race
Maybe I’ll just orbit
Keep an eye
Spy the nasty habit
Will to die
Though it’s cold out here in space
Earth is hot for the human race
The pace of their race
Blind man’s game
Shall leave not a trace
Went from came
Though it’s cold out here in space
Earth is hot for the human race

LYRICS
If ever there was a time
It is near
The “no reason, no rhyme”
Reigns with fear
Take from this place
Only your haste
Fore race on race
Leaves only waste
In your birthday suit
Arrived, you did
At the time, quite cute
So long… kid
I wish it wasn’t so
Wish they wouldn’t sow
Seeds of hate and rage
Bleeds too late
Hate out of the cage
