LYRICS
Ya know I am going out on a limb
I really am
Going out on a limb
Maybe I should disquise this hymn
As a her
I’m not sure
Don’t want any preconceived notion
To #$ck up the communication
Rather not use a ladder at all
Rather be equal… just as tall

LYRICS
You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve seen
Medicine Men applying the Love Remedy
You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve been
Girls dressing my gender before I get to see
Taking me on the road of hilarity
Oh, oh, yeah Da hummina hummina yeeha
Ha, ha, hee n’ a razamanaza
Takin’ jibber jazz
Taking the Bear for a walk
Listening to the people play
Listening to the Jibber Jazz talk
Wishing we could stay stay stay
Flying overhead – the people hawk
Listening to us pray in our own way
Getting 72 hours in a day
Band and band
Cooperating
Hand in hand
Man and woman
cohabiting
Gland in gland
Rage in front of the main stage
With a tripping hippie menagerie
Dance the night away
’till the blue alert sends darkness astray

LYRICS
chorus:
I’m melting, melting, melting
Literally, melting
My skin is smoldering
My eyes are dry
I’m melting
how much can a human endure
We’re about to find out
(That’s for sure)
If your lips aren’t too dry
Can you shout it out?
(Come on. Give it a try)
Human induced climate change
An experiment in our ability
(in our “are” ability)
To re-arrange
Restore
The natural order
Neutral nature
The Balancing Queen
Neutral nature
Is never mean
If you were seeing
What the pollution is doing
You’d quit that habit
If you were aware
Of what’s in your air
You’d stop breathing
Lance the invincible
Tackle the impossible

LYRICS
The mother of nature
The father of time
Eventually
Nothing is “mine”
Rest assured
It’s the nature of Mother Nature
Guaranteed with certainty
As in – For Sure!
No need to be insured
It’s your life
For as long as it can be endured
Don’t let the Grim Reaper
Cut you like a knife
Don’t be Snow White sleeper
Make spontaneity your wife
Dance through your days
Dance all your nights
Smile all the which ways
Smiles bring delights

LYRICS
Ya know
I hate to sit here
And, watch people
Give their money away
No, no… please not today
They’ll swallow your quarters
They’ll swallow your time
Nothing to leave our sons or daughters (behind)
Is a generational crime
Ya know
I have a fit sitting here
Watching people
Piss their money away
Oh, no, no… please not today
Getting cheated and gypped
In every which way
Nothing but bruise and slaughter
Humane? Ill equipped

LYRICS
You are the link
And, here I thought you were missing
The chain links the chain links
The water ebb or flow
I’m sure you know
You are the pink
And, close enough for kissing
Just when you think
No one is listening
No one is caring
No on is wishing
You’ll be wishing
You’re there
Earth — the best planet going
Birth — let life be flowing
The Phoenix rises
The fire ever higher
Booby trap surprises
Fan the flames
You’re the wind
In the end, you just begin

LYRICS
A day that was way, way, way….
Back when you knew what
Knock, knock on my door
There’s a tale of the enemy
Where ya gonna be when the dead come through
I swear
Where… ya gonna be when the dead come through
The Redcoats are coming
The Japs or a Gook
The beat is drumming
Come take a look
Where ya gonna be when the dead come through
Out there
Where… ya gonna be when the dead come through
As borders disappear
The fear you draw near
Will make it appear
Grab a partner
Swing her round and round
Bearded, toothless… non-the-less
You’re doin’ the Hag Rag
Grab a partner
Swing her round and round
Bearded, toothless… non-the-less
You’re doin’ the Hag Drag

“Puff. Puff,” says Cumulus
As Stratus smiles down from on high
Your point-of-view
Can shift, too
To the point where new is knew
Originally, by me
Now, a collaboration as we
“Puff. Puff,” says Cumulus
As Stratus smiles down from on high
We’ve turned to us
“Puff. Puff,” says Cumulus
As Stratus smiles down from on high
Just a wisp in the sky
Traveling by
Never stalls the astral
Bringing love to all

Living without. Living without.
How about living without?
War? No more!
Living without
On hate and rage

No need to wait
Toss out the hate
No more. No more.

Neptune
There is no inept tune
Hum some. Whistle some.
Hum. Whistle.
Shoot a sonic missile
Underneath the mistletoe
where it’s right to love all
Soar above the noise and confusion
’till you surpass the Grand Illusion
The blessed from Atlantis
the bliss that is
Under the sea
The blessed from Atlantis
the bliss that is

See! See?
Neptune from the Atlantis abyss
Floats above and saves us

Caught between
A pig
And, a wet blanket
Smothering me
With the terroristic drastic
Please ween me
From your dictatorship
Your narcissistic flip
The militant mean
The militant mean
You know harm
The militant: mean
The pig skin’s sheen
Doesn’t make him cleam
A big pig
Doesn’t make a big man
Just dessert
Of ham

The High Roller
Hits the wrong Note
Likes to holler
Roll in conceit and gloat
Think ya rule…
Rule the world
Think you’re cool
But, that gets old
Why don’t ya try
To lighten up
Say good-bye
To acting tough
Cuz ya ain’t that big
And, ya ain’t that bold
Maybe you should try
Acting small
After all,
That;s what you are
So, you won’t need to stretch that far
Give up the ignorance
Give up the grimace

All good children go to heaven

Just a little bizarre
You shine. You shine. You do.
You shine. You shine. Heart so true.
