LYRICS
Maybe at last
An atheist
Tryin’ suggest
A Holy Ghost
Pray with your chin up
While you lay yourself down
Say what you’re made of
While you disrobe your gown

Maybe a quest
As a Zionist
Won’t quench the thirst
Of a human birth
Pray with your chin up
While you lay yourself down
Say what you’re made of
While you disrobe your gown

Maybe at last
Give up the fast
No, it’s not best
To void ingest
Pray with your chin up
While you lay yourself down
Say what you’re made of
While you disrobe your gown

Maybe it’s time
Instead of lyin’
Prophets are tryin’
For our time buyin’
Pray with your chin up
While you lay yourself down
Say what you’re made of
While you disrobe your gown

LYRICS
Wondering if it’s a given
All dogs go to heaven
Wondering what they’ll be sniffin’
Heard it smells in hell
But for heaven as well?
If you know the aroma, do tell

And their God you can not see
Her scent is a mystery
No sound for the ear to hear
Her scent escapes me
Certainly can’t touch much
Her scent is odor free
And your taste goes to waste
Her scent is a mystery

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about the dogma of dogma… does your god “exist”?

LYRICS
Is anybody upstairs
Is anybody there
Putting faith in nothing
Anticipating something

Though we’re spinning round and round
We’re looking upward to be found
Rotations never slowing down
Going round and round

The logic of God is odd
Living for the approval nod
Selfish expression of sole sacrifice
Sugar and spice and everything nice

Is a supernatural being
Being natural at all?
No touching, hearing or seeing
Are you testing my gall?

LYRICS
Excuse me Mister
Do you believe in God
Excuse me Madam
I find your question odd
Contemplating
The virtues of “why not?”
“Sure” the answer
Quickly came to thought
Why not give it a thought
Why not?

Excuse me God
Do you find it odd
The world of MadMan
Votes for “God damn”
Contemplating
The virtues of “why not?”
I thought, “Heaven…
Can not be bought”
Why not give it a thought
Why not?

LYRICS
If you’re board, why not go searching for the Lord
They say, “It’s alive”
Into the hunt let’s dive
They say, “Christ the Lord has risen today”
Let’s search until we find
If that’s what they had in mind
Let’s search until we find
Or ’til our eyes go blind

Are our I’s already blind
He’s not the kind you can wind
He’s not the kind you had in mind
I’ve a suspicion he’s risen
Now on high… listen
A titled peer of the realm
A champion of morals at the helm
Come see the deity… they say he’s in you… they say he’s in me

Laying Down The Lord.mp3

A wise friend once explained to me: in Hebrew the word “Lord” means “the Law”. The Law is: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

LYRICS
I find it hard to be
Believe
Be leave
Believe
Three kings would come to see
The birth of me
Once more… bearing “Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh”

Poor ole Pa didn’t get to poke Ma
Didn’t even get to poke Ma
Poor ole Pa

Not like I could invent “The Rule”
I’m just a fool
If you treat others like they treat you
We’ll get through
See the heavenly view?

It’s why I find it hard to be
Believe
To Believe
Believe!
Three kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
Of the likes of me

The first time ya feel all alone
When they drive the nail through the flesh and bone
Drives the point home
They drive the point home

I… I… I’d been crucified
I’d been crucified
At first I thought I’d died
Turns out… I reside
I reside
In the house of the holy Lord
In the house of the holy Mother
The holy ghost
Hope to die

I had to try
I couldn’t give up and die
Had to try

Yet, still
The freewill
Of the three kings
I just couldn’t believe
Three kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
Amazing
Three kings

I can’t tell a lie
That’s why
I try
Try, try, try
To do unto others
As I’d have ’em do to I

I try to keep in eye
As I’d have ’em do to I

LYRICS
When you’re sick and tired… you can’t take anymore
When the thick and thin… you just can’t endure
Look above for some love

(Genesis 2:1)
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts.
Raise your voice and praise the choice to instill your freewill
Though, not in boasts… rather joy for the holy ghost

(Luke 10:30)
Persecuted and wronged for doing what’s right
Dread being stripped naked, beaten, and left half dead
Find insight in the light

(Hebrews 6:4)
Once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift — uplift
Partake of the Holy Spirit and taste the powers of the age to come
Riches beyond your wildest dreams and then some

(Jude 1:21)
Keep yourselves in the love as you wait for the mercy
The light will shine… shine o’ so fine… you shall see
It’ll work out fine… be heavenly

(Daniel 6:27)
Delivered and rescued I see signs and wonders in heaven and on earth
Under threat of alarms and sirens, delivered Daniel from the power of the lions
Now is the hour of rebirth

LYRICS
Again and again with the sin, sin, sin
Then say it’s only true if I go through you?
Don’t you think Jesus had a dog, too
Who did either of them have to go through

Don’t try to save me

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
All good dogs go to heaven
8, 9, 10 then 11
All good children go to heaven

Don’t try to save me

Over and over with brimstone scented sulfur
Saying hell’s the only viable offer

Don’t try to save me

Don’t you think Jesus HAS a dog, too
How did they manage to get on through?

Don’t try to save me
Don’t wanna enslave me

Hold my hand into the Promised Land
Where the trees grow tall… and from the sky… bones fall
… bones will fall

ABOUT THE SONG

A song inspired by the passing of the family pet. It’s about doing your best at doing what’s right. The day my dog died a bunch of religious zealots tried to save me. So, if Jesus is the only way to heaven, how does a dog get into heaven. Even more puzzling, how does Jesus get into heaven?

LYRICS
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.”

LYRICS
Once you start to tow the line
You’ll see it’s easy to do all the time
Quite often perceived as being out of line
It depends for whom you tow the line

Radical conformity sabbatical
All the while
Towing the line

Quite often perceived as being out of line
It depends for whom you tow the line
Once you start to tow the line
You’ll see it’s easy to do all the time

Radical conformity sabbatical
While ya smile
Towing just fine

God, I’ll tow the line for all my time
