What?

Hyper-terrestrial is a land based interactive experiment.
Questions? Is music a universal language?
Can sonic experience transcend space and time?
Thus, the name of the band. Hyper-terrestrial

LYRICS
This is it, believe it or not
They say, “you get what you pay…
For.”
though sometimes it’s more —
How much you can endure
This is it. Quit if a bore
Transit to alure
And ensure
“What’s in store”?
Then the admission:
“Well worth the price of admission!”
In excess of a 3-ring-circus
The fairway’s way
Get to know the sideshow
Going down slow….

LYRICS
Knowing I love you
Knowing you love me, too
Gets us through the things we have to do
I love you

Know what I mean
Got to cook and clean
When the spaces in between
Are seen

To fill the spoon and fork
Got to do all kinds of work
Almost more then one can take
… but when we get a break….

LYRICS
Zombie apocalypse*

*No 3-D glasses required
(You’re soaking in it)
You and me —
Hairless apes with lips
As time transpired
Became full of shhh… hit!
Prerequisite
Required
Dialed
Dire
A respite from dimwit
Suffer fools gladly?
Sadly, I had to quit
As they claim to own “alone”

LYRICS
I really don’t want you
To think and misconstrue
What I say or do
But it’s really hard to get through
No matter what I say or do

Askew in point-of-view
How to bring you to?
What’s to say or do
’cause it’s really hard to get through
No matter what I say or do

Try to shine the light
Try with all my might
Insight is up to you
’cause it’s really hard to get through
No matter what I say or do

LYRICS
Oh won’t you please
Send in the cavalry
Peace dove release
White hat civility
(Have we) Lost our grasp on reality
Really?
Yippie yi yay
Yippie i owe
Underway
Line to tow

How about a knight
In shinning armor
Shield us from fright
The mob rule clamor
(chorus)

What we need is a cowboy
To save our scalps from savages
From the modern man city-boy
And the resources he ravages
(chorus)

LYRICS
In this day and age
I can only understand
Body language
The demand
On verbiage
Is out of hand
The strain on the brain
Meaning’s down the drain
Don’t need to be a sage
To understand
Body language
Compile a smile
With a twinkle in the I
Eye spy
Body language

LYRICS
So far
It just gets more bizarre
You’re not kidding
The proof is in the pudding
A fact’s a fact
And that’s that
Once it’s gone
Can’t get it back
The fool lost his cool
Misplaced his mental tool
Now, it’s starting to dawn
Everybody keep your calm
The longer you grow old
The less thought is bold

LYRICS
IF you’re eating free samples
Taking more than ample
Now, the after taste
Results in such a waste
Move on. Move along.

When you’re at a buffet
“Are your eyes bigger”
Do they say?
Now, the after taste
Results in such a waste
Move on. Move along.

Should they say “glutton for punishment”
Do you know what is meant
Represent?
Does the after taste
Result in such a waste
Didn’t… take the hint

LYRICS
What happens when an angel comes alive
Wisemen realize
… and arrive
Into the wishing well
Angel
Wishing well

What happens when an angel comes alive
Is given birth
Will there be love
And, peace on Earth
Into the wishing well

Wishing well

Quite sure
All Men are created like Her
Imagine… in Her image
The more you age
The more it fades
Parts ways
Hold on, son

LYRICS
Are you going to get another tic-tac-toe
Will the stars line up 3-in-a-row
When the gods are on your side
Will you go along for the ride
Outside
Your comfort zone
All alone
Quite a stunt… out-in-front

Are you going to get another tic-tac-toe
Will three stars line up in-a-row
When the gods are on your side
Will you go along for the ride
Outside
The box
Out fox the fox
Getting to know
In-the-know

Are you going to get another tic-tac-toe
Will the stars line up 3-in-a-row
When the gods are on your side
Will you go along for the ride
Outside
Your inside
The great divide
… on a ride

O.K. I get it
If I let it
It will end up
Growing on me
We’ll be
And, it comes at the cost of free
Freedom
We’ll all be free
Free them!

O.K. I get it
If I let it

Will we?

LYRICS
At any rate, forthright
Beats 20/20 hindsight
Applaud your own facade
Perpetuate the fraud?
As long as I’m livin’
The life given
Going to treat it like heaven
Livin’ a given blessin’
In the season of the Garden Of Eden

At any rate, forthright
Beats 20/20 hindsight
Why cast upon the spell
Where you’re livin’ in hell?
As long as I’m livin’
The life given
Going to treat it like heaven
Livin’ a given blessin’
In the season of the Garden Of Eden

Coversong originally made famous by Carly Simon

    Am
You walked into the party;

             F                Am
like you were walking on to a yacht

     Am
Your hat, strategically dipped below one eye;

     F                 Am
your scarf it was apricot

        F       G      Em     Am        F                 C
You had one eye in the mirror as   you watched yourself gavotte

            G                   F
And all the girls dreamed that they’d be your partner, they'd be your partner and

C
You're so vain,
Dm                               C
you prob'ly think this song is about you
C          Am
You're so vain,
F                                 G
I’ll bet you think this song is about you, don't you, don't you

    Am
You had me several years ago;
      F                  Am
when I was still quite naive
           Am
Well, you said that we make such a pretty pair 
     F                    Am
and that you would never leave
         F     G      Em         Am        F               C
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
           G                 F
I had some dreams; they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and
[Chorus]
[Solo] Am F Am   Am F Am   F G Em Am F C

F                            G
I had some dreams; they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and
[Chorus]

Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well you're where you should be all the time
and when you're not you're with
Some under world spy, or the wife of a close friend, wife of a close friend and
[Chorus]
[Chorus] C    Dm  C
C                   Dm                         C
You're so vain, you prob'ly think this song is about you....
