LYRICS
Live from KingArthur.com with an important public service announcement:
I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of you fine citizens out there in TV-land…
Don’t forget to tip the bartender
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses
I’d like to tip the waitresses
… I’d like to tip the waitresseses
For making us tipsy
A tip for making us tipsy
If you just showed up
Raise a cup
Here’s what’s up
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses
A tip for getting us tipsy
Now, I think I’ll walk home….
Maybe… if it’s not an inconvenience I’ll just sleep on your couch. I could sleep on the floor… you don’t need to worry… I’ll lock the door… on my out.
I could lock up?
Raise a cup
A tip to the waitresses
Don’t forget the bartender
Yeah, that’s a hard job… listening to all of our wine… ya know… we go into such detail… blah, blah, blah….
ABOUT THIS SONG
A drinking song about playing live in a band… at a venue that is also a bar and a restaurant.

LYRICS
If you listen to Her words
They’re like a whisper on the wind
Wind whisperer
Bestow to know
Wind whisperer
Ebb and flow
Time and Tide waits for no man
(no man’s land)
There’s no time to understand
(no man’s land)
Ride the tide
Wings of windshear
Ride the slide
Soul of atmosphere
The path is clear
No God to fear

Keeps me stuck to the face of the Earth
Ever since my mother gave birth
I’ve been stuck to the the Earth
Until the day I die
Gotta wonder why

LYRICS
The Delaware is running high
Thanks to the banks
For keeping us dry
While on the other side, the well runs dry
While where the well runs dry they cry,
“Is salvation hiding nearby?”
Flanks of the ranks
Make trying a try
While on the other side, Fat Cats — big, fat & wide

ABOUT THIS SONG

LYRICS
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
When you start to wine, wail n’ preach
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
Chorus
If you’re going to talk the talk
Better make sure you can walk the walk
To get what we teach to reach
(2) To get what we seek in deep
What we seek to sink in deep
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
When we start to find, sail n’ then some
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come

LYRICS
I am reminded of all that’s been
No matter what I’ve seen
No need to forget
If you don’t regret
So long as you don’t regret
So long
You have rekindled all that can be
Far better than time’s lean
We can all ingest
’till the age is best
Sow long
Then we’ll reap, reap, reap
‘fore the reaper

From here to there
Will the weather be fair
The path is clear
End moving ever nearer
The clouds roll loud
The rain reigns rain
Washing pride from proud
Pointing out the sane brain
Can we live
Our ability to give
Take on parade
Vulnerability we aid

LYRICS
Is your zept inept?
The Zept Department
Is apt to reconfigure it
The Zept Department
For reconfigurement
Turn it inside out
Reversible
Without a doubt
Turn it upside down
Remarkable!
Become renown
The zept leapt
A leap to the top of the heap
Time crept
A seep until asleep
Give your zept some pep
Perpetuate while they others slept
ABOUT THIS SONG
The song is about a made-up word. Zept refers to something that has been Led Zeppelin-ized, such as, a song that has been influenced by Led Zeppelin.

If your prayers come true
Whatcha gonna do?
If your prayers are answered
Who will be mastered
Will your freewill be cancelled?
If so, ain’t that a hazard
Your illusion shattered
Wouldn’t you rather bathe in laughter?
Do you remember laughter?
May it flow like water
Wash the slaughter from our blotter
In the long run, the truth will matter

LYRICS
I don’t know
How can that be a UFO
The object does fly
I can’t identify
… suppose that’s why
Angel’s song sung
My tongue
Can’t get out of the way
Of my words
What I’m trying to say
Upon swords
Souls fray
Angel’s song sung
Light saber
Rattle and roll
Life saver
Extol soul

LYRICS
The mad ones march on
The mad ones march along
Whistle their song
What madness will spawn
The mad ones march over
Over four leaf clover
Whistle their song
“Done me wrong!”
Seeing how they make veal
The pig lets out a squeal
Bringing home the bacon
For his kin
Forgiven of his sin
A gentle Gentile will begin
To do right over again
Created
Regurgitated
Resurrected
Reincarnated
Am I one and the same by any other name?
ABOUT THIS SONG
“In Jewish folklore, from the 8th–10th century Alphabet of Ben Sira onwards, Lilith becomes Adam’s first wife, who was created at the same time (Rosh Hashanah) and from the same earth as Adam. This contrasts with Eve, who was created from one of Adam’s ribs. The legend was greatly developed during the Middle Ages, in the tradition of Aggadic midrashim, the Zohar, and Jewish mysticism.[3] In the 13th century writings of Rabbi Isaac ben Jacob ha-Cohen, for example, Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden after she mated with archangel Samael.”
Some legends have Lilith mating with various demons and spawning all sorts of evil creatures. “It was there, in those caves, that Lilith spent her time having sex with lascivious demons, and she gave birth, day after day, to hundreds of demonic babies…”
