LYRICS
It’s looking a little dangerous
For all of us

It’s looking a little dangerous
For all of us

Soon enough
You’ll discover why the fuss
’cause it’s dangerous
For all of us

It’s getting a little too dangerous
I think we’re on the cusp

You say why the rush… why the fuss
I’m telling ya… it’s dangerous
For all of us

Perhaps we had better focus
On what’s ahead of us
On what’s confronting us
Before we’re thrown under the bus
Ya know… before we pop like a pimple’s puss
Implode, explode in the commode
Going round and round and down and round
A royal flush
Hush, hush, hush

Dangerous, dangerous
Dangerous for all of us
Both of us
Me and you
Everybody that’s around, too
If you are within listening distance
And you can hear what I have to say
Well, this could be the day
It’s dangerous for all of us
Before somebody pulls the plug
A big group hug

LYRICS
Look and see…
Headed into uncharged territory

Unknown waters
Treading in unknown waters
Better protect your daughters
May go black in whitewaters

Uncharted territory
The predatory tear you to purgatory
Can you pray to your God to save me
You swear your God has mercy
Can you pray to save us
SOS…
SOS, I guess

Uncharted territory
May go down in a blaze of glory
What’s the moral of our story?

bookmark_borderLouie Louie

“Louie Louie” is an American rhythm and blues song written by Richard Berry in 1955 and best known for the 1963 hit version by the Kingsmen. It has become a standard in pop and rock, with hundreds of versions recorded by different artists. The song was originally written and performed in the style of a Jamaican ballad. It tells, in simple verse–chorus form, the first-person story of a Jamaican sailor returning to the island to see his lady love.

A     D      Em D     A          D  Em  D
Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go. 
A     D      Em D     A          D  Em  D
Louie Louie, oh baby, we gotta go. 

  A    D         Em         D                       
A fine girl, who waited for me. 
  A       D     Em        D                       
I catch a ship across the sea. 
  A          D    Em   D                       
I sailed the ship all alone. 
  A        D              Em      D                       
I wondered when I'm gonna make it home. 

Chorus

      A          D      Em         D                           
Three nights and days I sailed the sea. 
  A            D    Em      D                       
I think of the girl constantly. 
A      D       Em        D                       
On the ship, I dream she there. 
  A         D           Em     D                       
I smell the rose that's in her hair. 
Chorus

  A     D      Em    D                       
I see Jamaican moon above. 
A       D        Em       D                       
See the girl I'm thinking of.
  A        D     Em       D                       
I take her in my arms and then 
A        D     Em     D                       
Say I'll never leave again.

bookmark_borderSloop John B

“Sloop John B” is a traditional folk song from the Bahamas, “The John B. Sails”, which was included in Carl Sandburg’s 1927 collection of folk songs The American Songbag. It is best known for its folk rock adaptation by the Beach Boys.

(G) 
We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me     (D)
Around Nassau town we did roam
             (G)
Drinking all night
           (C)
Got into a fight
        (G)
Well I feel so broke up
(D)          (G)
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets              (D)
Call for the Captain ashore, let me go home
           (G)            (C)
I wanna go home, let me go home
  (G)                    (D)        (G)
Well, I feel so broke up I wanna go home

The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up I wanna go home
Chorus

The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on

LYRICS
Have you developed a tumor
Seemed to have lost your sense of humor
When you’re thinking funny
The skies are sunny [milk and honey… birds sing and things]
Would you rather be in a tomb, or
Have a sense of humor
[laughter / instrumental]

Even if you’re a late bloomer
Get a sense of humor
It’s more than a rumor
Fountain of youth is a sense of humor
Have you developed a funny bone?
Now we’re coming home

LYRICS
Hope I don’t fall or hit the wall
As I embark
Hope I don’t fall or hit the wall
Stumbling in the dark

Maybe I should have stayed in bed
Then run the risk of hitting my head
Better off risking that my head bled
Then to wake up finding everyone dead

Stumbling, fumbling, searching
In the dark
Searching for light in the dark
A little flicker… do you know the glow?
Some sort-of spark

Becoming the welder’s arc
Building in the dark
Love seldom leaves a mark
When lighting up the dark

My Dear Heart, the clouds start to part
So the light can begin flooding in
Arisen in a baptism
Climb our of the chasm
And see the vision
See the vision chine
Time to shine fine

It’s your own doin’ if ya let the light in
If you don’t begin, how can it happen?
So let the light come flooding in
Arisen in a baptism
Climb our of the chasm
And see the vision
See the vision chine
Time to shine fine

Pull the shades
Open the blinds
As hate fades
Open the minds
When you open your heart, who knows what one finds?
Opening hearts and opening minds

You must be kidding me
Can’t believe the things I see
The relativity
Of spacetime gravity

It’s hard to believe
It’s gettin’ heavy
Damn it… the mass of our planet
Causing our morals to plummet

Another sister or brother
Turning on one another
Doesn’t anyone bother?
Make an effort to discover

Protesters protesting protesters
Like prehistoric raptors
Preaching like Southern pastors
More like rat bastards
