D                           G7/D
  The lunatic is on the grass.

D                           G7/D
  The lunatic is on the grass.

D                       E/D
  Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs.

A7                                 D    Dsus2
Got to keep the loonies on the path.

D                          G7/D
  The lunatic is in the hall.

D                        G7/D
  The lunatics are in my hall.

D                              E/D
  The paper holds their folded faces to the floor

    A7                             D        Dsus2  D7  D9
And every day the paper boy brings more.

G                            A
  And if the dam breaks open many years too soon

    C                                   G
And if there is no room upon the hill

G                                    A7
  And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too

     C                                   G     Bm7  Em7  A  A7
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

D                          G7/D
  The lunatic is in my head.    (laughter)

D                          G7/D
  The lunatic is in my head

D                     E/D
  You raise the blade, you make the change

A7                                D     Dsus2
  You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane.

D
  You lock the door

    E/D
And throw away the key

        A7                              D   Dsus2   D7  D9
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

G                          A
  And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear

C                                   G
  You shout and no one seems to hear.

                                 A           A7        A
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes

     C                                   G  Bm7  Em  A7
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

LYRICS
Is it just me or is there a time disaster
The free world spinnin’ ’round faster and faster

Runnin’ down the rails ’till the end of the line
Gonna run right through my stop sign

When you say do or die
I let out a sigh
Gonna do the do
And, not die try

Go on feeling great…. feeling fine
Make this time yours, as well as, mine

Is it just me or is there a time disaster
The free world spinnin’ ’round faster and faster

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

Pennsylvania
Penn’s sylvania
Who knew what the new
William’s wood would become
From the forest let it come

Can’t you see?
Don’t step on me!
Let’s be free
Don’t tread on me!

Don’t mistake
A rattlesnake
For a fake…
Or, fang intake

LYRICS
When you’re in a jam… in a fix
Goin’ with gut… not intuit sick
Go to where the intuit’s thick

Better think of something quick
Yeah, ya gotta think of something quick

At both ends… burning the wick
Gonna teach an old dog a new trick

In the throws of the narrows
Dire straights… irate pride swallows

Get into it
Get intuit

LYRICS
Are you tired of time expired?
No worries… more where that came from
What’s done is done
Twist and wrung. Can’t be undone

Are you weary of the leery?
No worries… gently pound the drum
Kingdom Come’s come
The Book tells… lost or won

Are you happy for the lovely
The jollies and frolics of journey
Before the gurney
In search of our elusive query

What?
You think there’s no such thing as a bad cop?
Stop!

I’ve got (k)news for you
There’s more than 1 or 2
Be a killer cop killer, too

Kill the lies
Kill the pain
Kill the innuendos you’re insane

You’ve made the sighting
Strike like lightning
Wild fire burn out-of-control
Applied to the troll

What shall we do
When they come for you?

Don’t wanna be that horse stuck in glue

Way too late to stop and pause

Time to fly or die

LYRICS
Um,
This is a test
Of the here and now
Time and space
Continuum

Is this human race
Somehow
At rest

Time we passed the past
Hope our present lasts
To our future success

What satisfaction
If just a fraction
Civilization

Some elimination
Of starvation
And, degradation
Some elevation
Of realization
And, appreciation

I wonder
Where do all the lives go
When you die
Where do all the lives go
Do you know?

Clap of thunder
In the blink of an eye
There’ll be no more I
Where does the life go
Do you know?

I sure pray this sole soul
Lands in the promised land
A promise is a promise
How can you miss?

LYRICS
Seeing life through a kaleidoscope
While riding a calliope
No naysayers. Nope.
Just the uplift of what a heart can see

Will you grab brass rings… one, two, three?
Through the kaleidoscope, I see there’s plenty
Ya, ya, ya, it’s our lucky day
Let the calliope music play

The horse goes up and down
As we spin around
In a happy whirl
Wearing heart-on-sleeve
It’s easy to believe
Successive overlapping layers form a pearl
Grasping brass rings
We see the alchemy of turning brass to gold
As the future of our generation is told (Unfold)
And, to calliope music everyone sings

When your soda-pop has lost it’s fiz
Maybe it’s time to give
When you know you’ll fail the pop quiz
Maybe it’s time to live

That’s just the way it is
Do you want heart or show biz
That’s just the way it is

Don’t let your life loose spice
Maybe it’s time to give
When it comes to fun, don’t think twice
Maybe it’s time to live

LYRICS
I’m not sure if this is a valid ballad
At the same time
I pray the rhyme
Will stand the test of I’m

If one thing about a ballad is true
It probably has to do
With the love of love
If push comes to shove
This ballad’s ’bout love

Simultaneously
At the same time
In harmony
Harminglessity
The test of I’m
