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

I’ll have an ole fashion
Just the way I did
While I listen to ya fib
Ya said we’d be free
From sea to sea
Let it be
Strap on your spurs
Fix your bayonets
Rather the girls
Though both bring regrets
The legacy of our society
“Me, me, me!”
The legacy of our society
Breakin’ every treaty
Where the buffalo once would roam
We plowed a home
Raping the children of Mother Nature
Man, did we mature?

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

LYRICS
Perhaps when you block-out ugly
You inhibit your ability to see?
A fault by default
Clearly on your part
Perhaps when you block-out ugly
You inhibit your ability to see?
If you think you can’t take it
It’s time to make it
Real
Where goes your nightmare
Where goes thee
Lost sole. Blank stare
Where goes your nightmare?
Do you wanna be?
Where goes your nightmare?
Dare go there

LYRICS
Why go to where the gray turns black
A place where there is no turning back
Move it on up ’cause the tide’s coming in
A whole new cycle getting ready to begin
The pages blowing in the wind
No time for Man to unwind
Rather make a pact to adapt
Wind-up. Then, we’re apt
To buoy a beginning
Of a brand new happening
Where the hydrogen and oxygen separate
The sea meets the sky
Where the clouds part you can start
To see the light
And, you just might
Put up a fight
For it’s the struggle to survive
That keeps us alive

LYRICS
Where the sky parts from the see
The ocean waves goodbye
There’s a sigh in the air
A sigh in the error
Why not choose what’s best for humanity
Instead of just for you or me
Overthrow the overlords
Of disparity
With the vision of the Viking
No one is best suited to be king
With the vision of Charlemagne
Try to alleviate suffering and pain
No need to cross an expansive sea
To contemplate the fate of society
No need for flight from the storm
No need for blight, nor for harm
The ability to sense when fear is near
Allowing you to steer clear of danger
The ability to sense when fair is near
Allowing you to see clearer and stronger

LYRICS
It’s tough… it’s so tough moving up
The food chain
At the very least, you just might get eaten
By a slightly larger beast
It’s tough… it’s so tough moving up
The food chain
Revolution of evolution
(Wonder) who will remain?
It’s tough… it’s so tough moving up
The food chain
The gull of the gull to take a stab at the crab
Then to lull the gull
A beast’s heavenly feast
No need to be so crabby
Your life ain’t that shabby
Appreciate your fate
Before you’re known as (the) Late

You were such a sweet baby
No question. Not a maybe.
Now, you’ve grown inot a lady

There’s no sense complaining (no sense complaining)
About the shape I’m in (the shape I’m in)
As long as, I am bone and skin
It takes no explaining
There’s no denying dieing
Might as well take it all in

About the shape I’m in (the shape I’m in)
As long as, I am bone and skin
It takes no explaining

Scent of sea breeze
Touch a memory
Forecast a dream

There’s no sense complaining (no sense complaining)
About the shape I’m in (the shape I’m in)
As long as, I am bone and skin
It takes no explaining
There’s no denying dieing

Out of the de-bitch sand which
Will cure your spite

Take a bite out of the de=bitch sand which
