LYRICS
Q: Am I dreaming…
Or is it very nearly scary out?
A: It is gnarly hairy scary out
Am I dreaming…
On the edge of screaming
Think I’m going to shout
The sky turned black
As a superstitious cat
Mercy, mercy
Please don’t cross me
The wind started to cry and howl
Feel like they’re gonna disembowel
Lord, can ya see?
Lord, ohhh help me!
May mortality follow eternity
I think
It’s getting black as ink
They might
Be turning day to night
Does anybody have a spark
May light overshadow the dark
Ominous upon us
It’s going to reign ominous upon us
Ominous upon us

LYRICS
It’s a slippery slope
And we’re already sliding
A very slippery slope
Lay on the sleigh
Head on the sled
Going to slide
Pick our ride
It’s a slippery slope
And we’re already sliding
Rather be wrecking
Or gliding?
Can’t wait for skates
Currently curling
Looks like I’m going to ride
On my backside
It’s a very slippery slope
And we’re already sliding
We’re already sliding

LYRICS
You’re gonna wish your evil side
Had never seen the turned tide
Now the tide has turned
For the past is yearned
Better run like the dickens
Before this plot thickens
Better head for the hills
Lick your wounds n’ ills
(Yeah, take your medicine… swallow your pills)
Seize the thrill watchin’ your guts spill
Ain’t that much time left until….
Chorus
Be the overall voodoo doll
Watch you cry and ball
But it won’t do ya no good
Could have done what ya should
Crying won’t do you no good

LYRICS
The fox is in the henhouse
The barn door’s open wide
The cat eaten by a mouse
The outside’s come inside
Where does your heart reside?
Hit the floor start to roar
Know for sure we’ll endure
Hit the deck, bounce, eject
Introspect then reflect
… some more
The fox is in the henhouse
The barn door’s open wide
The cat eaten by a mouse
The outside’s come inside
Where does your heart reside?
Finish first then do more
The allure as before
Getting young in the head
Loving heart in the stead
… instead

G D
He had white horses

And ladies by the score

All dressed in satin

And waiting by the door
Am G D Dsus4 D
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was laid
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing
A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Coversong originally made famous by Greg Lake
Written by Greg Lake with lyrics by Peter Sinfield
Dsus2 G6 D
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on earth,
But instead it just kept on raining,
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth.
C G D
I remember one Christmas morning,
C G D
The Winter's light and a distant choir,
D A G D
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree smell,
D G6 Dsus2
And eyes full of tinsel and fire.
They sold me A dream of Christmas,
They sold me A silent night,
They told me A fairy story,
'Til I believed in the Israelite.
Chorus
I wish you A hopeful Christmas,
I wish you A brave New Year,
All anguish, pain and sadness,
Leave your heart and let your road be clear.
Dsus2 G6 D
They said there'd be snow at Christmas,
They said there'd be peace on earth,
D A G6 D
Hallelujah! Noel!, be it Heaven or Hell,
D G6 Dsus2
The Christmas we get, we deserve.
