LYRICS
They say
This could be the day
We see the future
For sure
They say
It’s coming our way

They say
Today
We could see the future
No longer just folklore
The future for sure
They say it’s coming our way
Today

Today could be the day the future comes our way
Going pass into the past
We hope it’s not a taken for granted commodity for us to see

We’d like to get to know the show
They say it’s coming our way today

Hoping for more future
More future
Heard ’em say
Hope and pray
We endure

More future
Hope and pray every day
For more future

LYRICS
For real…
This is for real?
For real?
Reality
For real, this is real?
Reality
The price for this life is a steal
For real!
It’s well worth the price of admission
That’s my confession
For real
This is for real
For real

It’s hard to believe
Humans won’t perceive
It’s hard to believe
Why humans won’t receive

For real
It’s like a dream come true
Like a dream come true for me and you
For real
This is reality
We’re living here together
Now that we’re living here together
Let’s call you and me we

Reality
Ohhhhh the beauty

bookmark_borderYou Smell Something Funky?

LYRICS
There’s something funky going on here
What it is isn’t clear
It smells of fish
And I am… having trouble to relinquish
My gut feeling
When the $hit hits the ceiling

What are you doing here
Do you know what you’re doing here
Just cowardice and fear

Cowardice and fear
When you draw near
Time to exit
Time to quit
Your game
What was her name

Exit their game
What was their name
Dis-select shame
Maybe that’s right… ’cause they’re to blame
That’s the name of their game

Here’s the thing
You can make that thing sing
Ohh… the joy it can bring
Why don’t you play
Why don’t you stay

We can make a nice day
If you stay and play
As long as you’re not gonna be that way
We don’t need no shenanigans
And again and again
No shenanigans today

LYRICS
Soooo… I hadda find out what it’s all about

I had my doubt
I had to find out
’cause I had me doubt
So, I had to find out

When your inside is out
Without a doubt
Had to find out

Once you know
There’s a spark and a glow

I had my doubt
What it’s all about
I found out
In a nutshell,
It’s just as well
Kindle love
Get to know the love flow
The reality of you and society
The reality of you and me
Do you do unto others
As you want them to do to you
Well do you?

I was in doubt
So I sought out
What is true
Not just for me
But for you
’cause what’s true for you
Is true for me
If we really want to be free
It’s easy to see

LYRICS
Don’t let your panties get all in a knot
‘less your purpose get forgot

When you panties get all in a knot
You start talkin’ through drool and snot
The snot running down your face
Makes you look like something not from the human race
So maybe if you stop droolin’
I can start listenin’

So you better not
Let your panties get in a knot
‘less your purpose get forgot
This, that and whatnot
Did your panties get in a knot

Don’t wanna drown in your own snot
Don’t let your panties get all in a knot
‘less your purpose get forgot

LYRICS
This is a soundcheck
For an instrumental… I guess
We plan on turning down the microphones so you don’t hear the sounds of an actual musician playing the instruments

Since this is only a soundcheck, we’re going to try for a surround-sound sound

Sorry, I forgot this is just a soundcheck and I’ve gotta check
For the flow glow
For the glow flow
Don’t let the people stand in the way every day
Let the flow glow grow

bookmark_borderRoundabout

Coversong originally made famous by Yes
Written by singer Jon Anderson and guitarist Steve Howe
Cover is performed as a modern dance EDM song

Lyrics

I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ‘n’ out
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

The music dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we’ll be there and we’ll see you
Ten true summers we’ll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you’ll see I’ll be there with you

I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere
Call it morning driving thru the sound and even in the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we’ll be there and we’ll see you
Ten true summers we’ll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you’ll see I’ll be there with you

Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees the rim of the land
The eagle’s dancing wings create as weather spins out of hand

Go closer hold the land feel partly no more than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers by in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand surrounded by a million years

I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ‘n’ out
I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ‘n’ out

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
Twenty four before my love and I’ll be there

I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ‘n’ out
You spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and in and out the valley

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over we’ll be there and we’ll see you
Ten true summers we’ll be there and laughing too
Twenty four before my love you’ll see I’ll be there with you

LYRICS
Do your realize you’re alive?

Do you even know if you’re alive
Do you realize
You’re alive
Can you even remember when you born
Do you remember the morn you were born
When you die will they mourn
Do you even know if you’re alive
Do you realize

Do you realize you’re alive
Perhaps you can’t recall your childbirth at all
Can you remember when
You were born, again?

Do you recall
Any memory at all
When you were given birth on Earth
And here you are not that far
From being gone
Do you remember the morn you were born

I really think you
Have it in you
I do
Heaven in you
I think there’s heaven in you
And, I believe you can help relieve
Give aid
You can help save
Not that you’re meant to be a savior
’cause you’re too late
As a matter of fact
That didn’t work

Nevertheless, all the mess
You need not confess
Want to make it clear
That’s not what we’re looking for here
Nevertheless
I believe you have it in you
So, come on… let’s see what we can do

Yes, I guess
You’ve got it in you
It’s true
You’ve got it in you
It’s true
Now, watcha gonna do

Tidal Wave Goodbye.mp3

LYRICS
The ebb and flow
Of the tide do you know
Which way it’s going to go
Do you know if it’s going high
Or is it going low

Coming in or going out

I’m just trying to find out what it’s all about
If I’m going to ride the tide to the other side
Figure I better stop looking inside
And start exploring out
See if I can find out what it’s about

So, I was just wondering if you know
About the ebb and flow
If you know which way the tide is going to go

Going high or going low

So if you can just give me the heads up on when the tides up
I would like to partake in the participation of ridin’ the time
Surfs up
Come ride the tide
Surfs up
That’s what’s up

Why Do Ya Gotta a Gallbladder?.mp3

LYRICS
Why do you gotta gallbladder?
As you climb up the evolutionary ladder
Why do you still have a gallbladder

We’re still looking for intelligent life

As you climb the evolutionary ladder
Sadder?
Gladder?
Why do you have a gallbladder?

From what I heard about a purple haze
People use to hang out and graze
Not like we were sittin’ on our asses
When we’re grazing on the grasses
’cause
chewing cud
for days
For days being dazed
We’d graze

Which brings it right back around to the center of your human being
You’ve got this gallbladder
And on your evolutionary ladder
Your race
In this space
Your outer space
This is Earth
Your birth
Your birth is a human
So as long as you can
Fess up

Which brings us around again to you and all your kin
Which I imagine must be me
As you can see
You’ve got a gallbladder
Why do you gotta gallbladder?

This ain’t about a social ladder
This is about your gallbladder

bookmark_borderMan With The Plan

LYRICS
I hear your name is Dan
And, you’re the man with the plan
Would you say it again
Over and over again

I hear your name is Dan
You’re the man with the plan
Would you tell me again
I’m a lil’ slow ya know
Can’t take it all in

I know where we’ve been
But, I’m having trouble with where to begin
The plan, Dan
For man, Dan
The plan, Dan
For man, Dan

Dan you’re the man with the plan
Would you let us in
And, say it again
’cause I’m a lil’ slow ya know
And, I really can’t take it in
I can’t bare it with a grin
So, tell us again
Please would you say it again and again and again
It’s not like we’ll listen
Would you say it again

So, if you don’t mind as to be so kind
If you could go over it again and again and again
Because the human sin… well, I’ve heard I’ve been forgiven
So I can do it again
Over and over and over again
So if you’re just going to bring… just going to spring
This thing on me now
Somehow,
I’m suppose to be responsible for all that I am able…
To be
Well, golly
It’s seems like… ya, know… a lot of work
Not to be such a jerk

This is Dan with the plan
I’m a man
A human
I can understand that we’ve got to make a change
But there’s a few individuals that want to gobble it all
Gobble it all up
’till there’s none left for the rest of us

So, this is Dan the man with the plan
The human
Trying to explain the gap in the synapse
Trying to re-arrange the brain
The membrane
The rationality
Sensibility
Responsibility
For both you and me
Or we’re all going to cease to be
(That’s something none of us want to see)
Wake the F#$% up
