LYRICS
You’re gonna wish your evil side
Had never seen the turned tide
Now the tide has turned
For the past is yearned

Better run like the dickens
Before this plot thickens
Better head for the hills
Lick your wounds n’ ills
(Yeah, take your medicine… swallow your pills)

Seize the thrill watchin’ your guts spill
Ain’t that much time left until….
Chorus

Be the overall voodoo doll
Watch you cry and ball
But it won’t do ya no good
Could have done what ya should
Crying won’t do you no good

LYRICS
Pink shoes
And bad tattoos
I suppose you’ve nothing to lose

Might as well pierce your tongue
If your battle can’t be won
Put another hole in your head
Then, put yourself to bed

Maybe a nose ring
Is just the thing
Or to probe
How to stretch my earlobe

I hate to say goodbye
But if you can’t answer why…?

LYRICS
The girl I see… does she see me
Startin’ to wonder if it’s meant to be
If this is love sincerely
Givin’ me a reason to see
Wonderin’ if we’ll connect
Wonderin’ when we first met
Wonderin’ why hasn’t happened yet
Time to place my bet

If you want it, Boy, never forget
If you want it, Boy, ya gotta go get
If you want to enjoy, Boy, ya gotta go get

The girl I see does she see me
Startin’ to wonder if she’ll marry me
She’s setting my spirit free
Givin’ me a reason to be

LYRICS
The air is fair
Let’s get out there
Bring on some sun
Before the day is done

Couldn’t wish for it to get nicer than this
Gonna pick up the guitar and play away

The light is right
Insight in sight
Thankful we’re got
We’re not have-not

Couldn’t wish for it to get nicer than this
Gonna pick up the guitar and play away

The sound is sweet
Loving that beat
Is there a chance
You’d like to dance?

Couldn’t wish for it to get nicer than this
Gonna pick up the guitar and play away

LYRICS
The sun rises above the horizon
In and of itself, not surprisin’
Nevertheless, a miracle in the sun risin’

To start the day in an amazing way
To light the way for the music to play

The energy to keep my heart beating
Plenty of fresh air for the breathing
Harmonies come to me when I’m listening

The more I give the more I’m receiving
The more I receive the more I’m believing
The more I believe the more I’m living

LYRICS
Was given birth on an island
The third one from the sun
They call it Earth — my asylum
Long may our days run

As we travel round and round
How do we know if we’re upside down
As we spin round and round
Starting from where we’re bound

Came to Earth as an infant
Second son of a second son
Only know can, not can’t
Long may our days run

Chorus

Gonna leave when I die
No need to gasp. No need to sigh
Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust
Hitchhiking to heaven or bust

LYRICS
The water is slowly spinning round and round.
Heading, heading ever, forever down.
I hope I don’t get sucked, quite right in….
Quite, right in. Quite, right in.
… not quite yet.

Forever walking round the paths,
Trying to find my way out.
Forever walking round the paths,
I will never get out….
Of the labyrinth… of the labyrinth… of the labyrinth… of the labyrinth….

What are you afraid of in the labyrinth?
Under my bed
In my head
Bad guys
In disguise

But, I know…
That if we try…
Try to use our mind’s eye,
We can make the walls come,
Tubmlin’ down.

(Walls all around.)
Walls of the labyrinth come tumblin’ down.
Walls come tumbling down.
The walls come tumbling down,
all around… all around… all around… all around.

Labyrinth MMXVI.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
by Daniel Brouse

The song was originally written for my children. Before going to bed, we would sing. The song starts with one of my childhood fears — being sucked down the drain. Each time we played the song I would pause in the middle… and ask them what they were afraid of. Then, we conquered their fears.

The idea was incorporated in the world’s first interactive music album The Labyrinth

Inspiration came from David Bowie’s “The Labyrinth” and Pink Floyd’s “The Wall”.

Oh! No!
Wouldn’t you know
There’s no snow
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near here
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near hear
Christmas cheer on holiday
Wouldn’t you say?

The leaves fell down
Still no snow on the ground
None to be found
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near here
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near hear
Christmas cheer on holiday
Wouldn’t you say?

Advent did begin
December moves in
Still it’s not snowin’

Approaching Christmas Eve
Pray “at least a dusting, please”

Ho, ho, here we go gliding through the snow
On the way we say “Happy holiday!”
Ho, ho, here we go gliding through the snow
On the way we sing a caroling thing

A nod to Feliz Navidad
And, ooooh! O Tannenbaum
What do you do where you come from?
Where to begin… what’s your country of origin?

Then, again…
Why order a border?
For what it’s worth, we’re all from Earth!
What’s your rock of origin? Bring it home again! What’s your rock of origin?

LYRICS
All the leaves have fallen
Have we already forgotten
Winter has yet to start
Yet, we feel cold at heart

The cold-hearted started
There’s no room in the inn
Ain’t that a sin?
The cold-hearted started
Why did you bother to come?
Go back to where you’re from!

The days are growing shorter
Cold nights for the squatter
Those that roam far from home
Are left to feel on their own

For those that try and try
Yet, others wish to die
Why condemn the tried?
You’ve tried and crucified

Heatwave’s here babe
Need something to keep you cool
Summertime sears babe
Please don’t play the fool

I’ve got just the solution
The nectar of love’s potion
Come over here! Let me take you in

Temperature’s soaring
Need something to keep you cool
Your nape is luring
Please don’t make me the fool

I’ve got just the solution
The nectar of love’s potion
Come over here so you can take me in

The water’s just right
Need something to keep you cool
We can rock it all night
Swimming in love’s pool

I’ve got just the solution
The nectar of love’s potion
Take off your clothes… start diving in

LYRICS
If ya need to clear your head
Better off going back to bed
Instead of rants in a rage
About your self-imposed cage

The sign of our sine wave into the future
The time for our sign is now and evermore

Regretting the things you said
Should have gone back to bed?
A victimization rationalization
Victimization rationalization

The sign of our sine wave into the future
The time for our sign is now and evermore

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 3

Written and recorded along West River Drive and the Schuylkill River in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
