LYRICS
There’s something wrong going on
It’s easy for me to see there’s something wrong with our authority
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills
Want the truth? It ain’t gonna happen
Liars are doing all their yappin’
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills
Public servants play the con
The misdeeds go on and on
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills
Twisting the truth is so uncouth
Beyond recognition to tell the truth
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills
There’s something wrong going on
Stretching the truth to the breaking point
Check your gun at this juke joint
There’s something wrong going on

LYRICS
There’s nothing much more that I enjoy
(Then) making you jump for joy
Moving ’round jumping up and down
Like a Mexican jumping bean
Making a smile out of any frown
Happier human being
There’s nothing much more that I enjoy
(Then) making you jump for joy
Getting down while twirling ’round
Like a pinwheel in the breeze
With moves to make you ballroom bound
A dance reflex… like a sneeze
There’s nothing much more that I enjoy
(Then) making you jump for joy
Making you move around
Jumping up and down

LYRICS
Monkey bars and skin the cat
Still feeling like kids… imagine that
Sex and hugs and rock n’ roll
No never, never ever gonna really grow ‘ole
Sure the years will take their toll
But, we ain’t really ever growin’ ‘ole
Sometimes he plays and sometimes he sings
If you cut him in half, you can count his rings
There’s many more years than what it seems
Really enjoys finding what life means
Finding “the girl” can be a fountain of youth
A day at the fair in the kissing booth

LYRICS
Can I get a men?
Knock ’em down but they keep on coming
Wild-eyed with mouths foaming
Did I mention their disease looks rabid
No rhyme or reason… God forbid!
Amen?
Barely resembles a man
Amen?
Need a moratorium… some sort-of ban
A bunch of zombies coming after me
They have no brains. That’s easy to see
When it comes to soul, none remains
Gonna wrap you up and put you in chains
Amen?
Barely resembles a man
Amen?
Need a moratorium… some sort-of ban

LYRICS
As leaves start to fall
It makes me recall
Both the old and new
Come flowing through (you do)
It’s a gift. It’s a present
Presenting my life story
From the past to the present
A flash inventory (your glory)
Started as a child
Took me quite a while
To garner our first kiss
Thank God! I didn’t miss this
The night you snuggled close
Sure could use another dose
Get intimate for a bit
Oh Lord! May it never quit

LYRICS
There’s a bad juju
All over you
You spilt your milk
Now whatcha gonna do?
Perjure yourself again and again
In this lifetime, they call that a sin
And, well…
Then, they call it… hello reality
Gonna get the best in me
There’s a bad juju
All over you
There’s egg on your face
A total disgrace
(To the Blue are you)
Hate crime all the time
In this lifetime, they call that a sin
And, well…
Then, they call it… hello reality
Gonna get the best in me

LYRICS
Duel black holes orbiting
Behavior that is fitting
Einstein wasn’t kidding
Mighty brave…
Surfing a gravitational wave
It will begin
To pull you in
Spacetime has-been
Sucking in light
Black as the night
Density’s might

“A binary black hole (BBH) is a system consisting of two black holes in close orbit around each other.”

LYRICS
May my soul soar
Above the Labyrinth’s floor
Flying high above
Spying the tunnel of love
Swoop down from above
Into the tunnel of love
With a bird’s-eye view
Can see exactly what to do
Flying high above
Spotting the tunnel of love
Never tire of lifting the spirit higher
From the sole soul
To the dynamic dual
Like hand in glove
Partners in love

Amiss
Ajar
The happiness bazaar
A kiss
Not far
Happiness is bizarre
Takin’ you in
Again and again
Puttin’ me out
Without doubt
When did we really begin?
The day I met you I was four
Couldn’t imagine any more
A half century to endure
Until the chance to adore
Forever gone is before
Penetrating to the core
Facts are facts… can’t ignore
You and I forevermore

LYRICS
As soon as I get there
It’s time to go
Wouldn’t ha know
(Can’t go slow)
Can never go slow
Is the time slippage increasing in flow
Grains in the hourglass falling fast into past
Ya know the wind does blow
Knocks me down
Rock n’ rolls me all over the ground
With time passed moving by so fast
Don’t know how long I’ll last

LYRICS
Riding on the edge of a hurricane
Watching the man-made whether vain
Riding on the edge of a hurricane
Does a sane human remain?
Wondering if I can get into the I
Wondering if the eye can get into I
Riding on the edge of a hurricane
No question whether man is vain
Riding on the edge of a hurricane
Whichever way the wind blows
Weathervane
Whether vain
You know… whichever way the wind blows

LYRICS
Going from pissed to dismissed
For what they missed — dismissed
Dismissed
You’re dismissed
Call Thomas, Esquire when straights are dire
Both chambers loaded, cocked… fire!
Dismissed
You’re dismissed
Order in the court. Here comes the judge
And he’s the sort that likes to hold a grudge
“Oh, no! You’re not free to go.”
I must confess you’ve no witness
If no one witnessed, case dismissed
Dismissed
You’re dismissed
Finally a chance
Justice scales balance
Celebration dance
Blind justice glance
Celebratory dance
Scales balance
Dismissed
You’re dismissed
You’re free to go, ya know?

BLIND JUSTICE GLANCE
Lady Justice — Since the 15th century, Lady Justice has often been depicted wearing a blindfold. The blindfold represents objectivity, in that justice is or should be meted out objectively, without fear or favour, regardless of money, wealth, fame, power, or identity; blind justice and impartiality.

LYRICS
Matters of the heart
When we’re so far apart
Just have to beat stronger
For a little longer
Love reign over me
Now ’til eternity
Matters of the heart
When we’re so far apart
What do you say
We help it on its way
To the beat we’ll play
Until we reach the day
Matters of the heart
When we’re so far apart
As I listen to the pulse of the rhythm
Falling, falling, falling… I am
A religious experience… sung as a hymn
Falling in love… I am
Matters of the heart
When we’re so far apart
