LYRICS
Hey Lone Ranger
Don’t be a stranger
With that silver bullet… POW!
We need you more than ever right now

And crown our ‘hood
With brotherhood
Seein’ from see to shining see
That would be good
Thins as they should
Being from be to shining being

Hey Superman
Can you lend us a hand
With speed of bullet… WOW!
We need you more than ever right now

Robin, Batman
Do you understand
Political bull$hit, cash cow
We need you more than ever right now

LYRICS
It’s sounding very serious
Are you slightest bit curious
’cause it’s sounding very, very, very serious
Are you nervous
For us?

What’s the purpose
Of all this fuss
What’s the purpose
For all of us

Cause distress
Implied chaos

Disastrous
God, save us!

So serious
Are you curious
Are you nervous
For us?

LYRICS
All that runnin’ round
Gonna let it get you down?
Pouting lips resound
Perpetuating frown
Turn around

Take it from an old man
Better smile while you can
Sooner of later our days will end
It’s all a matter of what we do ’til then

Don’t let runnin’ round get you down
Give your mouth’s corners a lift
Turning the frown upside down
As you give you receive the gift
Giving corners the lift

LYRICS
Hello is anybody in here
Hello is anybody out there
Hello is anybody here

Hello is anybody near
Hello is anybody here

Is there any light in sight
Is there any light insight
At the end of the tunnel

At the end of the tunnel

At the end of the tunnel
Is it the beginning of the light
Is the end the beginning… is that right
Have I got that right
Beginning of the light
Light insight

bookmark_borderGood As Gold

LYRICS
You’re good as gold
Or so I’m told
When your life’s goal
Is growin’ old

When going down the road
If you lighten your load
The toll of the total
Is less brutal
As a matter of fact
You can’t get it back
And, there’s really nothing that you lack

When you reach your golden years
Are you past your friggin’ fears
Are you able to forget
Skeletons in your closet
Are there no more tears
Not a regret
Is your last chapter…
Happily ever-after

LYRICS
If our paths don’t cross
Is there any loss
Or just as well?
Do tell… pray tell

Maybe you can find your happy place
Far, far, far-out in space
Maybe there’s enough room
To harbor your gloom?

If you go your own way
Maybe that’s O.K.
Another day
Together play

Take your marbles and go home
Face your problems all alone
When your back in the zone
Feel free to pick up the phone

LYRICS
Feed me some line
And, let me swim
Ready to be free
Again
(Let me swim)
Look,
Let me off this hook
I want to be “really” free
So, please help me
Won’t you please help me?

For the next stage
Enlarge the cage
Oh, believe me
Ready to be free
A whole new page
Out of this cage
I want to be “really” free
So, please help me

Where is the sign
“Free All The Time”
Wish I had known
I could have grown
Free all the time
It’s a state of mind
To thyself as to others… be kind
As others to you, too… be kind

LYRICS
Do you believe in magic?
Are you a fairy princess?
Then, this “this”
Is our bliss

Do you believe in music?
That it can cure the sick?

Are you our knight in shining armor
Then, this is our bliss
Thus, this bliss is for us
This bliss
Music can cure the sick
This bliss

LYRICS
When doing your best
Is put to the test
Time to put baby to rest
Prime time
Yes — baby to rest
They say
Don’t ever wake a sleeping baby
No — not maybe

But, I digress
Let’s do our best
To get out of this mess
Get it off our chest
Puttin’ baby to rest
Put the baby to rest

What the hey
We’re on our way
Throw the dice
Move on advice
Will you pass go
I don’t know
Sure hope so

They’re at it again
Returned to begin
The End

Playin’ the game
Won’t be the same
Satisfaction
In competition
Get past the start
Next square… depart
With all your heart

They’re at it again
Returned to begin
The End

What is on your Christmas wish list?

Merry Christmas
Let’s grant your wish
You can do anything you want to do
And, I’ll help you (I’ll do all I can do)

Would you like to give a hand
To your fellow man?
You can!
Would you like to join the band
I’m your man
You can!

Merry Christmas
Let’s grant your wish
You can do anything you want to do
And, I’ll help you (I’ll do all I can do)

Would you like to rehabilitate
Our habitat
I’m up for that
Would you like to join the band

You can!

Get up in arms
At least
We can all bear peace
May music sooth our souls
Before the bell tolls

LYRICS
I have no idea
What’s going on
Is it #1
or just for fun…
Is it #2
I’m asking you
’cause I’ve got no clue

Ave Maria
No idea
What’s going on
Crack of dawn
Dawned on me
Wish I could see
What’s going on?!?!?!

I have no idea
What’s you’re doin’
Am I up front
Or your back door man?
Day of the month
No, needn’t fear
Reinforcements from the rear!

LYRICS
Little lamb
That’s who I am
If you assume wolf’s costume
Then it may accrue you
To think… and think, again

Little lamb…
That who you are?
I wouldn’t go so far
As to mock God’s flock
So please…
Think and think, again

Have you heard
The lamb’s shepherd
To the light
Keeping watch over night
From: the little lamb
Thank you and thanks again

LYRICS
As the leaves fall
It’s not that surprising at all
Another year around the sun
Is almost done
By the time we get there
The trees will be bare
Then, they say
It’s due
To start anew

The way the Earth is built
There’s a change to our tilt
The days grow shorter and shorter still
Until it starts to spill
Through the solstice
With all of us
