LYRICS
In the midst of the beast
Who is the most
Who is the least?
Um? Fee fi fo fum
Color me dumb
I guess I’m…
One

Feel the breath on my neck
Bearing down
Introspect
The width
The breadth
Confound
Bearing down
Um? Fee fi fo fum
Color me dumb
I guess I’m…
One
One and the same
The beast! Look out!
The beast within
Look again
I’m him
I can run
But I can’t hide
The beast without
From the beast within
The mirror image
I am…
In the “I am” Age

LYRICS
Hey, Mack, as a matter-of-fact
Can you spare a piece of gum
If so, I’d love to have some
Hey, Mask, as a matter-of-fact
When you get beneath hair and gum
Our “go”
Is within our sum
And with spirit
Add some
Add some sum toward one
May a Bob Marley heart start
Maybe a Bob Marley heart
To unite a light
The light
Delight
One love
Get together
With delight

LYRICS
When up for the challenge
It is hard to manage
“Way too easy”
I ask
Is a measly task
Any fun for you
I take the challenge
I do!
To be alive
Is the thrill
Of the strive
Same ole’ drill
Quit at five
Still
I’d rather thrive
On the thrill
Of the drive

LYRICS
What we need
Now
Perhaps
More than ever
Is education
Knowledge
Stimulization
Of wisdom
On our final page
A sage
The End
[sage-like interlude]
If it’s not too late
To procrastinate
For a sage
In the “age 2”
Of too
To too
Too — me and you
2 — me and you
The age
When knowledge
Reckon
Turn the page
A sage
The End

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Z,z,z,z,z,z….
Oz,z,z,z
I’m thinking
Wake-up!
Start blinking
I suppose
You can’t see
With your eyes closed
I suppose
It’s fantasy
With your eyes closed
I’s blink your lids
Try to get hold of our id’s
Open our lids
(Open our I-lids)
And see reality
I’m thinking
Wake-up!
n’ start blinking
Open our I’s
To the rise
Of reality
Realize
Reality
Z,z,z,z,z,z….
Oz,z,z,z
It’s OK, Dorothy… we know
It was just a dream
Dorothy,
Now you see
All is not what it may seem
You’ve dozed
In Oz
