LYRICS
Is your zept inept?
The Zept Department
Is apt to reconfigure it
The Zept Department
For reconfigurement

Turn it inside out
Reversible
Without a doubt
Turn it upside down
Remarkable!
Become renown

The zept leapt
A leap to the top of the heap
Time crept
A seep until asleep

Give your zept some pep
Perpetuate while they others slept

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

LYRICS
I don’t know
How can that be a UFO
The object does fly
I can’t identify
… suppose that’s why

Angel’s song sung

My tongue
Can’t get out of the way
Of my words
What I’m trying to say
Upon swords
Souls fray

LYRICS
The mad ones march on
The mad ones march along
Whistle their song
What madness will spawn

The mad ones march over
Over four leaf clover
Whistle their song
“Done me wrong!”

Seeing how they make veal
The pig lets out a squeal
Bringing home the bacon
For his kin

Forgiven of his sin
A gentle Gentile will begin
To do right over again

Created
Regurgitated
Resurrected
Reincarnated
Am I one and the same by any other name?

ABOUT THIS SONG
“In Jewish folklore, from the 8th–10th century Alphabet of Ben Sira onwards, Lilith becomes Adam’s first wife, who was created at the same time (Rosh Hashanah) and from the same earth as Adam. This contrasts with Eve, who was created from one of Adam’s ribs. The legend was greatly developed during the Middle Ages, in the tradition of Aggadic midrashim, the Zohar, and Jewish mysticism.[3] In the 13th century writings of Rabbi Isaac ben Jacob ha-Cohen, for example, Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden after she mated with archangel Samael.”

Some legends have Lilith mating with various demons and spawning all sorts of evil creatures. “It was there, in those caves, that Lilith spent her time having sex with lascivious demons, and she gave birth, day after day, to hundreds of demonic babies…”

Do you think your life’s a book… chapter… page?

Peace or rage…

If your love is whorled
May it become unfurled
Whirled over the world

LYRICS
Faster than in the middle
But not so fast we’re not able to last
Can we answer the riddle
When does the future pass to the past?

And, in between what does mean mean
The Earthling beings seem to be being
Reigned by humans… the least humane I’ve seen

My Friend,
As far as the future
Are we almost there?
I’m not sure
Are you aware?

Can we try n’ figure
If it could be found
’cause I’d like ta’ get there ’round….

When you can foresee
What will be
It doesn’t trouble me
When you can foresee
What will be
It doesn’t bother me

As they carry on in Sodom
Nero fiddles away
As they babble on in Babylon
Daniel sees the way:

[Daniel 2:19]…the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said:

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are Her’s.
21 She changes times and seasons;
She deposes kings and raises up others.
She gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
22 She reveals deep and hidden things;
She knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king.”

Or would that make him King?

President Prince on the far left

In a head-to-head musical fight
The slogan that will reign their campaign:
“Put an end to political theft

Out with the daft and in with the deft!

A monarchy in our destiny

Circus mucus
Might drown from that clown

Did you see
There’s a monkey
Running the zoo
… did you?

There’s an elephant in the room
And, the idiot in-bloom
Implore no more do we ignore

We need a ring master
All the faster
For this circus is on the cusp of disaster

Step right this way…
One thin dime
One tenth of a dollar
He walks. He talks. He crawls on his belly like a reptile

(Must be an Earthling thing?)
