LYRICS
May my soul soar
Above the Labyrinth’s floor
Flying high above
Spying the tunnel of love

Swoop down from above
Into the tunnel of love

With a bird’s-eye view
Can see exactly what to do
Flying high above
Spotting the tunnel of love

Never tire of lifting the spirit higher

From the sole soul
To the dynamic dual
Like hand in glove
Partners in love

LYRICS
Amiss
Ajar
The happiness bazaar
A kiss
Not far
Happiness is bizarre

Takin’ you in
Again and again
Puttin’ me out
Without doubt
When did we really begin?

The day I met you I was four
Couldn’t imagine any more
A half century to endure
Until the chance to adore

Forever gone is before
Penetrating to the core
Facts are facts… can’t ignore
You and I forevermore

LYRICS
As soon as I get there
It’s time to go
Wouldn’t ha know
(Can’t go slow)
Can never go slow

Is the time slippage increasing in flow

Grains in the hourglass falling fast into past

Ya know the wind does blow
Knocks me down
Rock n’ rolls me all over the ground

With time passed moving by so fast
Don’t know how long I’ll last

LYRICS
Riding on the edge of a hurricane
Watching the man-made whether vain
Riding on the edge of a hurricane
Does a sane human remain?

Wondering if I can get into the I
Wondering if the eye can get into I

Riding on the edge of a hurricane
No question whether man is vain
Riding on the edge of a hurricane

Whichever way the wind blows
Weathervane
Whether vain
You know… whichever way the wind blows

LYRICS
Going from pissed to dismissed
For what they missed — dismissed
Dismissed
You’re dismissed

Call Thomas, Esquire when straights are dire
Both chambers loaded, cocked… fire!
Dismissed
You’re dismissed

Order in the court. Here comes the judge
And he’s the sort that likes to hold a grudge
“Oh, no! You’re not free to go.”

I must confess you’ve no witness
If no one witnessed, case dismissed
Dismissed
You’re dismissed

Finally a chance
Justice scales balance
Celebration dance
Blind justice glance

Celebratory dance
Scales balance

Dismissed
You’re dismissed
You’re free to go, ya know?

BLIND JUSTICE GLANCE

Lady Justice — Since the 15th century, Lady Justice has often been depicted wearing a blindfold. The blindfold represents objectivity, in that justice is or should be meted out objectively, without fear or favour, regardless of money, wealth, fame, power, or identity; blind justice and impartiality.

From the album Gay Church

LYRICS
Matters of the heart
When we’re so far apart

Just have to beat stronger
For a little longer
Love reign over me
Now ’til eternity

Matters of the heart
When we’re so far apart

What do you say
We help it on its way
To the beat we’ll play
Until we reach the day

Matters of the heart
When we’re so far apart

As I listen to the pulse of the rhythm
Falling, falling, falling… I am
A religious experience… sung as a hymn
Falling in love… I am
Matters of the heart
When we’re so far apart

LYRICS
Pop the cork. Let the champagne fizz
A momentary lapse of justice
Just is
A breath of fresh air
Ohhhh so rare
When life is fair
Share the care

Let the law practice practice
A momentary lapse of justice
Just is
A real world dream
So it would seem
Instead of mean
Coming clean

LYRICS
It’s rather severe what you subject
I hope you don’t mind if I object
Me to you
Overlord and your underlings, too

This is a revolt of your subject
In general, I object to your neglect
Lack of compassion
Is all your fashion

About the subject of your subject
Your notion of freedom we reject
Let us be
All set free

LYRICS
Are you falling faster than a shooting star
Do you find your circumstance too bizarre
Are you calling out faster than ever before
“I didn’t mean to step in it any more”

Karma found
What’s going round
Is coming round
Is going round
What’s coming round
Karma bound

Is the tide rising faster than you can endure
Drifting further and further from the shore
Sanity falling faster… no insanity cure
Slipping further and further from the sure

Chorus

Are you sinking faster into the quicksand
Have you lost your facilities? Have you lost command?
Are you slipping faster… have you lost your grip
Under the Chinese water torture… drip, drip, drip

LYRICS
Are you still waiting for the cavalry
To show up and rescue me
There’s a villain outside my door
And out back there’s a whole lot more

Beware of the ma in the uniform
He’s out to slay your unicorn
Be weary of weapon wielding warriors
They’ll likely make their war yours

Will the knight in shinning armor
Show up to defend our honor
There’s a dragon outside my door
And out back there’s a whole lot more

Chorus

Shouldn’t be a damsel in distress
How did they ever create this mess
Police officers turned outlaw
Out to jail your ma and pa

LYRICS
A little ant said, “Look at me.
I can be what I want to be.
Think positively.”
The little ant said to me
Thinking positively

Covered his head with a piece of bread
Moving ahead he turned and said
“Do the mind over matter vibration splatter.
Then, share your essence through your presence.”
Thinking positively
Be what I can be

I’ll never forget as he disappeared into the sunset
With a wave and a wink, he made me think
When he said, “Son, you can be like me.”
Be what you want to be
Thinking positively

Are you O.K.
Since You’ve gone away
Can’t wait for the day
When I can hold you tight
Hold you through the night

Dream about you ’till

Coming this way?
Ever since you’ve gone
It’s been too long

Lost in the foray
My mind’s gone away
Ever since the day
