LYRICS
Unfortunately,
Found in the thick of sick

Does your head hang heavy
Thick as a brick?

… in the thick of sick
Found in the thick of sick
Come ’round

Quick,
Let’s get you out of there…
Fortunately

A ground swell of well
A well of goodwill
Well, good
Freewill
Until
The End

LYRICS
Live from KingArthur.com with an important public service announcement:

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of you fine citizens out there in TV-land…
Don’t forget to tip the bartender
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses

I’d like to tip the waitresses
… I’d like to tip the waitresseses
For making us tipsy
A tip for making us tipsy

If you just showed up
Raise a cup
Here’s what’s up
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses
A tip for getting us tipsy

Now, I think I’ll walk home….
Maybe… if it’s not an inconvenience I’ll just sleep on your couch. I could sleep on the floor… you don’t need to worry… I’ll lock the door… on my out.
I could lock up?

Raise a cup
A tip to the waitresses

Don’t forget the bartender
Yeah, that’s a hard job… listening to all of our wine… ya know… we go into such detail… blah, blah, blah….

LYRICS
If you listen to Her words
They’re like a whisper on the wind

Wind whisperer
Bestow to know
Wind whisperer
Ebb and flow

Time and Tide waits for no man
(no man’s land)
There’s no time to understand
(no man’s land)

Ride the tide
Wings of windshear
Ride the slide
Soul of atmosphere

The path is clear

No God to fear

Keeps me stuck to the face of the Earth

Ever since my mother gave birth
I’ve been stuck to the the Earth
Until the day I die
Gotta wonder why

LYRICS
The Delaware is running high
Thanks to the banks
For keeping us dry

While on the other side, the well runs dry
While where the well runs dry they cry,
“Is salvation hiding nearby?”

Flanks of the ranks
Make trying a try
While on the other side, Fat Cats — big, fat & wide

ABOUT THIS SONG

LYRICS
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
When you start to wine, wail n’ preach
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech

Chorus
If you’re going to talk the talk
Better make sure you can walk the walk
To get what we teach to reach
(2) To get what we seek in deep
What we seek to sink in deep

Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
When we start to find, sail n’ then some
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come

From here to there
Will the weather be fair
The path is clear
End moving ever nearer

The clouds roll loud
The rain reigns rain
Washing pride from proud
Pointing out the sane brain

Can we live
Our ability to give
Take on parade
Vulnerability we aid

LYRICS
If your prayers come true
Whatcha gonna do?
If your prayers are answered
Who will be mastered

Will your freewill be cancelled?
If so, ain’t that a hazard
Your illusion shattered
Wouldn’t you rather bathe in laughter?

Do you remember laughter?

May it flow like water
Wash the slaughter from our blotter
In the long run, the truth will matter

No matter what you’ve done

No matter what you do

As long as I am

How about you
Do you think, too?

Is what is is?
Biological drop-dead quiz

It’s not as though we couldn’t know
Nor we could not care
It’s not as though we couldn’t forgo
Nor we were unaware
I’m guessing there’s no trying denying

That’s it — the culprit

There’s no deniability
When it comes to you and me
We know very well the certainty
The inevitability
Of our vulnerability
Creating our destiny of reality
