LYRICS
What the hell?
Clear-as-a-bell
See-saw
Teeter tottering
On the brink
Civil-annihilation
Humanitarian
Starvation
Historian
Degradation
Can I count on you
To lean into
Terrestrial realization
Down to earth birth
Singing earthlings
Sky blue blues
They say
They went away
Turned gray

Crawl out of the fright
Crawl in into the light
Walk out of the night
Talk of the found light

From the album R.R. Crossing

James – Audience
Chords: Dm D

LYRICS
Walking down the street
Head buried deep
Shedding all mystique
Into the crosswalk creep
Really not that far
From being hit by a car
Oblivious
To all of us

Before you end up old
Come out of your own world
Before you end up dead
Listen to what you said

How come you’re in the midst of Vietnam
Lost calm… a pig slaughtered… turned to ham
Singing the Napalm Psalm Song
Head in the sand for how long?
Do you think we might
See the new day’s light?

LYRICS
Welcome to the air
My Dear
Though I know not how you breath
Yet, it’s clear you’re here
So, now I know
My eyes to believe
How the scales fit your hips
On the other hand
How to understand
You’ve hands and lips?
How can we meet
How can we complete compete
With survival
Of all
As the fittest
At best
Our quest
To be we
(Oui, oui)

Will you be my Mayan mermaid
And, I’ll try to be your humane human man?
Maid/made please don’t clean my memory
Of what my third-eye can see

LYRICS
St. Dennis Fair
Been there?
St. Dennis Fair
Are you, too?

A stilt walking musician
Said, “I’ll meet you there.”
Where a larger than life
Ferris wheel
Became real
Talk about zeal
To the beat
IN the summer heat
Hot girls hot
In their tube-tops
Trying not
To run from cops
If it starts to rain
Will we remain
In your stride
On the ride
Going roundabout
Guys shout
Gals scream
Living the dream

LYRICS
Though people may scoff
Truth they can’t con
Wax on
Wax off
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues

Gonna find that buzz
Make it was
Gonna grind that hum
’till pure when done
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues

Come on! Fix the mix
Give balance a chance
A lil’ more keys
If you please
We’ll let the bass
Melt your face
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues

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
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
We’ve been straying a ways
From our better days
On a path of destruction
Evolution dysfunction
Mating with Neanderthal
Going to lead to our fall
Take on the shape
Of crawling back to the ape

And at this rate (And at this rate)
Approaching our expiration date
And at this rate (And at this rate)
Casting our destiny’s fate

We’ve been straying a ways
From our better days
On a path to damnation
Eternal dysfunction
Any orgy of imps
Resembling chimps
Squirting demons’ seaman
On the Succubus in all of us

LYRICS
I fear it’s none too clear
The atmosphere is none too clear
Oh, dear!

If you hold life dear
Check out the atmosphere

Afraid to begin to breath in
If I can find out how to just breath out
Gonna die
Crazy to know why

The ambiance of the atmosphere
I fear is none too clear
Everything that I hold dear
It’s time to fear

None too Clear Atmosphere (Official Soundcheck).mp3

Rave
It’s an evolution revolution

Rave behave
When you behave as though a rave
Evolution revolution solution

If you can just start one heart,
You’re doing your part
If you can just start one heart,
You’re doing your part

That’s how to behave when your rave
Against the machine
Know what I mean?

You wipe the sheen off the plastic gleam
Ya know it’s more than a random chance
More than romance
Evolution revolution

Everybody behave like a rave

Ain’t no joke
Going for broke

Going for broke

Not your average bloke
When going for broke
A bloke of a different colour
Let’s here ya holler

Then you’ll know how rough

The rough gets tough
