We’ve got to hang tough?
Hasn’t it been long enough?
The going got rough
Calling their bluff
Might say they went wrong
For now they’re long gone

LYRICS
As a matter of fact
That is that
As a matter of fact
That = That
No matter what you’ve done
1 = 1
No matter what you do
2 = 2
As long as I am
I think I can
How about you
Do you think, too?
A philosophical pop-quiz
Is what is is?
Biological drop-dead quiz
Did humanity fizzzz….

Free-radical Theory of Aging.mp3
LYRICS
Oh noooooo!
OONO
The damage age damage
Age damage Damn age
The damage of age
Oh nooooooooooo!
OONO
Worse than a Yoko to the Beatles
Oh, no
One two many free radical for us all
Oh, no
One too many free radical for us all
The dismay of decay
Don’t want to fade away
Fade away
Worse than a larva attack of beetles
Snakeoil salesman are just weasels
Damn us from the animal kingdom
Longevity travesty of me
… and, it’s getting old
Foretold
… getting old
ABOUT THIS SONG
The free radical theory of aging (FRTA) states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. Strictly speaking, the free radical theory is only concerned with free radicals such as superoxide ( O2– ), but it has since been expanded to encompass oxidative damage from other reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), or peroxynitrite (OONO–)

No Deniability Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
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

LYRICS
Can we speed things up a little bit
Please, can we?
Of course we’re on a collision course
Plain to see
Inevitable collateral damage from the hit
Unfortunately, includes me
But, even worse…
Includes all of us
No sense in slowing down
Seize or freeze
Wear the devil’s crown
Cease to be
Can we hurry things up a bit
Please, can we?
Get a divorce from this collision course
Ohhhh humanity

Devour Life Whole Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
Going to go stand in the sun’s glow
Let the glow flow to the beat
From my head to my feet
Let the glow flow from head to toe
Under the skin from within feel the heat
Feed the soul on the shine of the divine
Devour life whole
A soup thick with music
Ripe with the sweet nectar of the guitar
Now the task to bask some in the sun
With a glance to those who dance

Song For Emily Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
We’re building a prison
You’re already in
We’re building a prison
Too late to begin
It’s time to shout,
Breakout!
‘take my freedom,
Takeout
What’s our independence all about?
They’re building a prison
I’m already in
They’re building a prison
Too late to begin
Watch the fall… Independence Hall
Watching the fall of us all
Watch the travesty of liberty
Sights our eyes should never see

LYRICS
A lady bug landed on my thumb
The German Shepard couldn’t believe what he heard
Mother Earth wonders, “How come?”
The earthworms slurm, “Absurd!”
An ecosystem phenomenon
I am… am… am… in phenomena
Sprouting, budding, blossoming
Everything
Love to listen to life sing
More birds and bees, please

LYRICS
When someone’s too tough
Spirits will call their bluff
Comic at the very most
When compared to a ghost
When the trolls and fairies come out to play
It might end up being one scary day
If you don’t give the hunchback some slack
You’ll wish you could take it back
When the gnomes and hairies come out to play
It might end up being your last day
Turn you daylight to pitch black
Step on a crack… break your mother’s back

LYRICS
Can you rest on the pride of your breast
Do you think that’s heavens gate’s test
Can you confess to anything less
Nevertheless, this is our mess
The more you pound
The more you thrust
The more robust?
Can you rest on the pride of your breast
Consider the soul’s incest in your nest
Consider the soul’s incest in your “ness”

LYRICS
Woke up this morning nearly fell out of bed
Had to make sure I was wearing my head
Woke up this morning nearly fell out of bed
What the heck
Thank God for my neck
Woke up this morning… when I hit the deck
I thought I knew what I could expect
Woke up this morning and hit the deck
What the heck
Thank God for my neck
Woke up this morning and started to pray
This is all I could figger’ to say
Woke up this morning and started to pray
“What the heck…
Thank God, for my neck!”
Last thing I remember I lost my head
Can’t recall exactly what I said
What the heck
Thank God for my neck

LYRICS
The louder their voice
The bigger the noise
Verse
In the name of sound
Let us rejoice
Listen ’round
For the sound
Can be found
The louder their voice
The bigger the noise
A cracker that’s wise
… no loud-mouth disguise
Repeat verse
Fly away with me on a sound cloud
Have we forgot
If we listen not
If we listen not
It’s hard to get to heaven if we listen not
If we listen not

LYRICS
A long line…
Grand ma, a concubine
And, I do believe Eve
Went with a serpent
Aren’t women heaven sent
Or are they all hell bent
The labyrinth prison sin
Can you find your way out
Without doubt?
In a field full of mines
Serpents and concubines
A man repents
Serpents and concubines
In a field full of minds
Serpents and concubines

LYRICS
Who would have ever thought it’d turn into this
I almost turned right into your kiss
Ahhhhh….
A lady right from the start
Jumpstart my heart
Who could have known you’d bring on the bliss
With a kiss?
A lady right from the start
Jumpstart my heart
Turn to the East
Turn to the West
Turn to the one you love best
