LYRICS
Can you get to heaven if you don’t care a bit
If you don’t give a shit
If you don’t care a bit
The times they are changing
Pray my soul is fit
The gremlins they are a granging
Pray my soul ain’t bit
Chorus
The world keeps on turning
Asteroid please don’t hit
The sun keeps on burning
May our days stay lit
Chorus
Hope your heart keeps yearning
No bottomless pit
Hope you keep on earning
That you never quit

LYRICS
Here we go
Here we go again
Did you know
It’s time to begin
The starting pistol shot. Bang!
Still on the starting line? Dang!
Time to move a lot. Groove!
Time to groove a lot. Move!
Chorus
The tarting buzzer rang. Clang!
The choir raised their voice. Sang!
Dancers start to move. Smooth!
Nothing left to prove. Move!

LYRICS
Were you ever to the top of the World Trade Towers
Have you ever been to the top of the Empire State
If you have a chance take a glance
On the edge
Look over
Past the ledge
We all look like ants
If you get the chance
… we all look like ants
Have you ever been to the top of the food chain’s powers
Have you ever been past the top
Well, it’s not too late
If you have a chance take a stance
Pull way back
’till over
Get the knack
We all look likes ants
If you get the chance
… we all look like ants

LYRICS
In the Berkshire Mountains
… no limit to what you can do
In the Berkshire Mountains
With ease you’ll gain the view
You can not afford not
Can you?
Do you think the bird’s heard the word?
A ballbusting nuthatch
Do you think that bird’s a lil’ absurd?
A ballbusting nuthatch
Watch! That’s no nuthatch
Some kind of King Pharaoh sparrow
Watch! That’s no nuthatch
In flight… out of the shadow
Your desires… living in the Berkshires
You can do what’s best to do in view
… of the Berkshires

LYRICS
Standing in the toilet
In the cesspool of life
A highly non-trivial affair
A vortex of love
Swimming in the vortex of love
To all the gypsy
Hypocrite hippie
Trying to take advantage of any age
Perplex flight of the dove
Swimming in the vortex of love
Swirling ever faster
Might float right past Her
Swimming in the vortex of love

LYRICS
If this all sounds too scary for you
Here’s what we can do
We can hold your hand
Help you understand
Be the supply for your demand
If this all sounds too eerie for you
Here’s what we can do
Go from this minor
Into a major
And make the world a little happier

LYRICS
The bats are in the belfry
The toys are in the attic
At least a mind’s set free
Not at risk to conflict
… obscured from view from you?
You decide what will happen
’cause you decide for us all, too
The lights are on but nobody’s home
Jekyll can’t hide Hyde
If I’m a good dog on the ride
They’ll give me a bone
I know I’m not alone
I know we’re not alone
No, no…
The Earth is our home
Yes, this mess is our own
Not alone in this home

LYRICS
Mother Nature’s misty eye cries
The Humans won’t compromise
Their ways… their strays
What do you say we go out on a lark
Maybe the energy will ignite a spark
The great illuminate of the dark
Leaving no trace… leaving no mark
Maybe it’s not too late to put some sweetness in our gate
Maybe it’s not too late… as long as we don’t wait
Maybe it’s not too late to put some swuit-ness in our gate
Maybe it’s not too late… as long as we don’t weight

LYRICS
Yes, of course the resource is ours
And, how we waste it determines our hours
Even worse… the source is lost
Won’t like the taste of living in the past
Chorus
Would you believe
The air there
Is not even fit to breath (Ain’t fit to breath)
Could you believe
They don’t care!
A dangerous web that we weave
Reverse curse. Mirror in our eyes
And, in our haste believe our lies
Chapter, verse… minimize dies
Don’t like the taste of saying good-byes
Chorus

LYRICS
The fly is in the ointment
The flaw is in the argument
What they say isn’t what they meant
Logic doesn’t come by appointment
With a mind on autopilot
Alarm sound! Doubt they can hear it
Where a sleeping dog lay, you should let
Less the clamp of the jaw you regret
For a life filled with enjoyment
Show the love and embrace it
The light of enlightenment’s heaven sent
Into the hears of darkness… creep a bit
The joy of enrichment
When mercy is being lent
Can change the course of hell bent
And into the putrid pile we’ll make a dent

LYRICS
I went shopping at the human bazaar
How far, human bizarre?
They were selling their garages
They were selling their fleas
Selling anything that they please
Selling a mirage
Selling a disease
Selling anything that they please
Selling a barrage
Of their sleaze
Selling anything that they please

LYRICS
It’s water under the bridge
A forest fire coming over the ridge
Then, upon second glance
The all-in-all will balance
Chorus
Why don’t we hang it out to dry?
Go ahead give it our best try
Come on, hang it out to dry
So we can all feel high
Let the bygones be bye-gone
Situation win-win’s won
When given a second chance
The all-in-all will balance
