LYRICS
Where ever you may go… take care
Whatever you may show… show care

So long to all we fear
The future is now near
Though I love you so
I’ve gotta go

Chorus

Now we hear now is near
Time to serve the atmosphere

Chorus

As long as we’re suckin’ the oxygen
Might as well begin’ servin’

Chorus

What spirit animal are you?

LYRICS
The other day, a friend called and asked about getting a cowboy hat….

Headed to Virginia for a cowboy hat
If I can’t secure it, ain’t coming back
Going to Virginia for a cowboy hat
Pennsylvania, I love ya
But, that is that

Put a cap on it before I lose my head
Let’s rap this up and put it to bed

Said, Head to Virginia don’t come back
’till you acquire a cowboy hat
Pennsylvania, see ya… though where ever I may roam
Don’t you know you’re always going to be my home

Live from KingArthur.com… this is a soundcheck for Idiot Proof
Dm BbM7
110 BPM / Techno

When they said it was idiot proof
They didn’t know it would be me in this spoof

This ain’t rocket science
Nice is nice
It ain’t rocket science

Idiot proof

Mind numbing
Becoming
Idiot proof

1+1 = … ummm… 2
That’s some arithmetic I can do
Idiot proof
When it comes to figuring you
Idiot proof
It’s an idiot proof

You can call me dumb
And then some
But I know one and one
When it leads me to you
It’s not rocket science
Idiot proof
It’s idiot proof
It’s the idiot proof

The idiom of the medium between your ears

LYRICS
Once upon a time
There was a…
Little lamb (Mary had a little lamb, a little lamb)
Does the rhyme make you wonder who you are…
And who I am?

Once upon a time
There was a…
Fairy princess
With the essence of all that’s nice
But, she grew up up
And threw-up vile vice

Once upon a time
They were fearin’
The dragon
Her smoke would make you choke
The spittin’ of fire make you transpire
Ladies trespass into Hades

Are you looking for a knight in shining armor
Or do you really have a sense of humor

The glamor of amore
More. Hey, hey, hey!

LYRICS
Baby, I saw you dancing out of the corner of my eye
I don’t know why
The way you sway to the beat
Is a heavenly feat

The kind of woman my mother’d love to meet
Mum’s the word on our rendezvous backseat
Girl
Unfurl

Baby, I thought of chancing you out of the corner of my mouth
Say, “Hey! You’re stealth.”
The way you sway to the beat
Is a heavenly feat

The kind of woman my mother’d love to meet
Mum’s the word on our faux pas discrete
Girl
Unfurl

Say, “Hey! Soul feast.”

LYRICS
Mistaken for a pirate
Walking on a pegleg
Applying a patch
Incubate… idea… hatch

At any rate, let’s gravitate
Pleading as I beg
For a love match

Overtaken with his pride
Nemesis couldn’t hide
Along for the ride
I’ll match your love
One for one
We’re not alone… look above

Chorus

Aye aye Matey
Now there’s an I-dea
You n me as we
With soul’s that are free… yeah!

LYRICS
Could ya
Would ya
Could you help me suit-up
For a spacewalk

How about you?
Would you like to come, too…
On a spacewalk

It’s hard to talk on a spacewalk
‘ cause words don’t travel through space
If you want to take a walk
And disregard the talk

Get on a suit
Then it’s a matter of whether the tether
Will you make sure it’s on really tight
But not so tight that there’s not enough slack to get back

If you can do be the favor
Of our hour favor

And the tether has enough slack to get back
But get far enough out… farout

Yes, I have a problem when you’re being a dick
Are you just an asshole or a real prick?

Chorus
May the good Lord shine upon you
… and all you do
May the light help lead your way
… to a better day

Giving me the finger and a shake of the fist
Try n’ cast your curse with an evil twist

Chorus

Oh so mean and nasty and throwing a fit
Take a chillpill and chill out for a bit

As you glare with a threatening stare
Gotta wonder if you’re even aware

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was inspired by people on the street. As I was writing the song in front of the old courthouse in West Chester, PA, a lady went out of her way to say, “Nice!” Then, a young girl walked by… turning her neck like an owl with an ear-to-ear smile.

If the chord sounds blue
Here’s what you can do
Get out of just you
Follow the know right through

Try to stop the flow
And pray you can re-grow
