LYRICS
Anticipation
I just can’t wait
Anticipation
Out of the gate

Through hesitation
To penetration
Cease cessation
Seize elation

Coordination
Walking a tight rope
Eternal damnation
Consider the scope

Elevation
Taking it higher
Light. Combustion
We’re on fire

LYRICS
Apply the hammer. Apply the hammer
… with just a dab of finesse
Hit the nail on the head
With success

Apply the hammer. Apply the hammer
… with just a dab of finesse
Put the matter to bed
God bless!

Apply the hammer. Apply the hammer
… with just a dab of finesse
Watch the thumb or dread
A bloody mess

Apply the hammer. Apply the hammer
… with just a dab of finesse
When all is done and said
Marvelous

LYRICS
Excepting those that are dear
Whatever’s happening here
Is not clear

Pull up a seat and tap your feat
To the beat of a rock n’ roll show
Or better off yet why not get
Next to the stage’s glow

Excepting those that are aware
Whatever’s happening there
Is not clear

Chorus

Excepting those in the know
Hoping we’re not to slow
To get up and go

LYRICS
We’ve been a long time at see
Searchin’ for the land of the free
Then, it finally came to me…
In the presence of intelligence
Be

Can you feel the peace
Hear the harmony
Adrenaline release
Near ecstasy

We’ve been a long time at see
Sailin’ from The End to begin
That’s when it came to me
In the presence of the essence
Be

Chorus

We’ve been a long time at see
Wailin’ to God for mercy
Then, much to Her fancy
It came to be

LYRICS
Where do we go from here
Now that we know what we know
Do you fear or hold dear
The blow of the flow?

All of a sudden the vision is crystal clear
Not a burden of mission… more a seers sear

Are we about to find out
Emergency exit only
Are we about to find doubt
Or the spirit holy?

Chorus

Will the tide roll out
Will the tide roll in
Will we scream and shout
Will we hold it in

(It’ll be no surprise
If you burn through with your I’s)

No, you can’t hold the phone

Why piss and moan?
Worn turn evolution

LYRICS
I would like to thank you for keeping me good company
A solid body with a slender neck
More than I could ever expect
In spite of my psyche… if I’m a wreck
You talk back with the proper respect

When we’re in tune
We can croon
In sweet, sweet harmony
When held just right
We can play all night
Just like an angelic symphony

If you play like you should
You know you’ll be good
If you say that you would
You’ll rock the neighborhood

The people will stand. The people will stare.
Amazed that you are really there
The people will clap. The people will yell.
Oh, yeah! Then, you’ll be able to tell

The kids will sing… the children dance
All the can’s can. There’ll be no cant’s
There’s no surprise. The cream will rise.
