LYRICS
Please don’t think that I’m rude if I a don’t answer back
But I’m having some sort-of vision attack
A place where peace rules over the beast
When most is least and least welcomed to their feast

Out of the straits and narrows
The light at the end of our tunnels
Fly with the doves and sparrows
Loving your part in the jungle

Please don’t think that we’re crude if our manners lack
Perhaps it’s you lacking the knack
It’s time all hostilities ceased
And, the promised land released… release realized!

        I woke up in the Soho bar when a policeman knew my name. He said,
         E                   D             A                         C G
        "You can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away."

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

[chorus:]
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccuped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way

Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

[chorus]

I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?

[chorus]

Trip, slip, whoa

The sky is dark the pressure low
Wind blowin’ ya to and fro

Seeing the scene sublime

Sleddin’ into Armageddon
Fadin’ out in snowmageddon

On the verge of a surge
Splurge the urge to emerge

Crave from the cradle to the grave
Careful what he took. Thankful so he gave
Live an open book. You’ll be all the rave

Riding on the crest of a wave
Perfectly poised position
Adrenaline acceleration sensation

You can see a conspiracy theory with every entity
Tales of chemtrails blowing hot air in the sails
Oh, no! GMO phobia phenomenon
You just go on and on and on

Yes, it’s freaking me out
How you know nothing about

I mean isn’t it obscene when you won’t give your kid a vaccine
You’re unaware modern healthcare is way better than fair
Beware! Your lack of B12 has left you bewildered
Wondered

You make a fuss about how business treats all of us
I’ll be damned. You don’t understand it’s from your demand
Won’t see clear that nuclear could be our savior
The fusion solution for our pollution

LYRICS
When you check your rearview mirror
Does it get any clearer

The past is coming up fast
Approaching
Encroaching
On living

And, in fact, when you’re looking back
Is your light shinning pitch black

Now, I’m….
In a race against time
The inevitability
Of mortality
The past is coming up fast
How long will a life last?

When you check your rearview mirror
Does it get any clearer
The past is coming up fast
In fact, when you look back
Will you shine pitch black
Or will your “has been” brilliantly beam?
Know the flow of the consciousness stream
Become one with the eternal dream

Here’s to… hoping and praying… hoping and praying… you find your way home

In a crowd yet still alone
Full blown groan
Route unknown

Maybe you wish you hadn’t begun
Your trip back in the fountain of young
Reverting to a baby
Until maybe
You just can’t cope
Sliding down that slippery slope

Here’s to… hoping and praying… hoping and praying… that you can roam… ’till you find your way home

LYRICS
Is the Earth in the way of the Milky Way?
Will our lied ride collide on our inside

The galaxy that contains our Solar System
Our sole our system
Our soul our system

Is Mars not as far… as in “raise the bar”
Or, will our numbness nebula become regular

We’re spacing out without doubt

Do we think our sum greater than the sun
It’s not right if we don’t shine the light

LYRICS
When the big bad wolf comes knockin’ again
Will rational resume… a civil civilization begin?

If we could only find some anthropomorphic humans
All we can find are sapiens acting like aliens
A little off-colored… don’t know what hue means
They don’t know no rainbow

Anthropomorphism illusion
Playing the part of a loon in a cartoon

When the big bad wolf comes knockin’ again
Gonna huff and puff and blow your door in

I went to two parties… elephant and donkey
The elephant couldn’t remember… really…
What to do? The water they could see
(They couldn’t even get to the part where they think about making him drink?)
You can’t even lead an ass to water?
You oughta’ at least avoid the slaughter
When the big bad wolf comes knockin’ again
A two party system as one lame duck… what the #uck? What a sin!

Who do you think I am
The sacrificial lamb?
Maybe I should let the wolf in…
Could be a win-win
Letting the meat meet defeat
3 little pigs
Wearing powdered wigs
Fat cats and pigs
A common man’s treat

LYRICS
With your mind’s eye
Fly through the sky
Let the wind lift your angelic wings
With your mind’s eye
Fly across the sky
Relish what your good fortune brings
Cherished cherub

Gabriel, do tell
Uplift… swift flight
Pray you might enlight
Insight and understanding
Righteousness everlasting

Seventy “sevens”
Sent from the heavens
My children’s, children’s, children’s, children’s, children’s, children
Seventy “sevens”
Said by the heavens
For mortal men to learn their lessons

The end coming like a flood
Anointed One’s blood
Abomination that causes desolation
Until the end that is decreed pours out of me

The Seventy “Sevens”

9:20 While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and making my request to the Lord my God for his holy hill— 21 while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. 22 He instructed me and said to me, “Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding. 23 As soon as you began to pray, a word went out, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the word and understand the vision:

24 “Seventy ‘sevens’ are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’ In the middle of the ‘seven’ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.
