LYRICS
What the heck
Do you mind if I kiss your neck
Like a butterfly
I’ll try

Oh my my
Boy I’ll try
Oh what the hell
I’ll never tell

Just can’t resist
May I kiss your wrist
Like a butterfly
I’ll try

Oh my my
Boy I’ll try
Oh what the hell
I’ll never tell

In the wake of the ape of your neck
The gentle side… subtle wrist twist

Oh my my
Boy I’ll try
Oh what the hell
I’ll never tell

LYRICS
I heard the man on the radio say
Tornado Warning!
The storming is coming
Right for you
Better do what you do
Tornado Warning!

Do what you do when you see one
RUN!!!

I heard the man on the radio say
There’s a tornado headed our way
Tornado Warning!
Warning tornado
Like a rotten tomato
Thrown at our picnic just for fun
Time to fold camp. Time to run!

Do what you do when you see one
RUN!!!

LYRICS
Maybe it’s time for schoolin’
Maybe it’s time for school
Maybe I’m not foolin’
Maybe I’m not a fool
Upping your size
Maybe it’s time for the wise to rise?

Baby needs educatin’
Edge-ya-ma-cate her noggin
Don’t intend humiliatin’
But you ain’t no bargain
Upping your size
Maybe it’s time for the wise to rise?

Maybe it’s time for pullin’
A rabbit from the hat
In need of a magician
To make any sense of that
Upping your size
Maybe it’s time for the wise to rise?

LYRICS
This is a test of the non-emergency broadcasting network
It is only a test

You say you believe in revolution
Not in a bloody institution
But the evolution of your revolution
Umm… what’s in your institution?

What do you have to say
Keep harm outta harm’s way?
What do you have to say
Can you keep harm at bay?

So, you wanna start a revolution
Agin’ the bloody institution
What do you plan instead of bloodshed
Pray tell, what is you plan instead?

What do you have to say
Keep harm outta harm’s way?
What do you have to say
Can you keep harm at bay?

LYRICS
It wasn’t a far off place
Nor distant time
It’s right here in this space
Called yours and mine

Will we get it together
And make some reason and rhyme

If we all took the time to confess
This is not someone else’s misplaced mess

Will we get it together
And make some reason and rhyme
In time

The people before must have thought we’d be so much more
The people to come… well, hopefully there will be some

Will we get it together
And make some reason and rhyme
In time

LYRICS
Running like a rabbit chased by a dog
“Lord Of The Flies” sacrificial hog

Running like a rabbit chased by a fox
Better start thinking out of the box

Gonna leave my scent in a circle
Then gonna jump make it special
From out of the box to something round
A trick of the mind. Now can’t be found

It’s time to jump. I gotta hunch
‘less I become someone’s lunch
’cause there’s nothing much to prove
Better off gettin’ on the move
So there’s no sorrow in my tomorrow

Better run like a rabbit for a bit

LYRICS
Where will the lightning strike
Which way will the wind blow
Stick your finger in the dike
Try and control the flow

In the path of where the storm goes
Why under attack? Nobody knows
Seek shelter immediately
Before you become a casualty
Before they declare you a tragedy

Will we make it through the night
Still be standing at dawn’s daylight
Will comfort overtake fright
Please tell me it’s gonna be alright

With eyes wide
Eyes wide and mesmerized

When you’ve realized
You’ve no place to hide

I ain’t heard nothin’ like that before
Might not ever hear is again
This is the spirit that makes folklore
For now, gonna soak it in

I ain’t seen nothin’ like this before
May never see it again
These are souls giving more
For “wow” partake in
For “wow” participating’

Jaw dropin’ droolin’
Eye poppin’ grocin’

Skater girl, where are you headed to
Skater girl, if I could run that fast…
You know I’d pursue

The way your hips sway surfin’ down the street
Vision explosion making life complete

Skater girl, like a cloud through a sky glide

Skater girl, ya know ya move so smooth
Skater girl, through the bone to the soul ya sooth
