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

Chorus

Posted on by admin

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

Chorus

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

LYRICS
What do you say
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
Given the chance I will
Dream about you ’till

What do you say
Coming this way?
Ever since you’ve gone
It’s been too long
Chorus

What do you say
Lost in the foray
My mind’s gone away
Ever since the day

LYRICS
Pump the fist into the air
As though there’s nothing there
Oh, well…
Will the scent of coffee make them wake and smell?
’cause I sure think something does stink
With their power spell
Is there anybody up there
That’s the slightest bit aware

Up there all alone
Come down from your throne
Gonna fall from you pedestal

Thrust the fist into the air
As though you really care
Post a boast
To yourself a toast
Vanity at its most
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who’s the fairest of them all
One of those that won’t compose
“The Emperor’s got no clothes”

Up there all alone
Come down from your throne
Gonna fall from you pedestal

Easy to say it’s coming
Harder to say it’s gone
Is America dumbing
Or will the New Age dawn?

Destined folklore fables
Police soliciting merch.
Is Jesus turning tables?

Then when our time ends
The message Daniel sends
Some will shine everlasting light
To the least those with the most might

12 “Daniel, at that time the great prince Michael will stand up. Michael is in charge of your people. There will be a time of much trouble, the worst time since nations have been on earth. But Daniel, at that time every one of your people whose name is found written in the book of life will be saved. 2 There are many who are dead and buried. Some of them will wake up and live forever, but others will wake up to shame and disgrace forever. 3 The wise people will shine as bright as the sky. Those who teach others to live right will shine like stars forever and ever.

Matthew 21:12
[ Jesus Goes to the Temple ] Jesus went into the Temple area. He threw out all those who were selling and buying things there. He turned over the tables that belonged to those who were exchanging different kinds of money. And he turned over the benches of those who were selling doves.

Matthew 20:16
“So those who are last now will be first in the future. And those who are first now will be last in the future.”

LYRICS
If at first you don’t succeed
Don’t for a second secede
Not to yield is the shield
Respect to serve and protect

We can carry the banner high
If we try
In “The End” we’re gonna die
Might as well fight might
Astray anyway

Knock, knock. Can you let me in
Hello? It’s me, again
Where would you like to begin
Repeating the repeating of what has been?

Chorus

If they’re gonna make ya bleed
’cause you won’t yield to concede
Maybe what it is you need — justify facts, indeed, in deed

LYRICS
Once in a lifetime
I’m…
Lucky to see
Lucky to be

Once in a lifetime
Set yourself free
To eternity

Once in a lifetime
I’m fortunate
To get
To forget
Any care you share

Before the final sunset
We get…
To see the light
Dawn’s daylight

Once in a lifetime chance
Gonna give it a second glance
Embrace romance
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
I’m…
Lucky to see
Lucky to be
Lucky me

LYRICS
Goddess Venus,
Please connect us
A heart too far apart
Are our hearts torn to parts

Fluttering like a butterfly
Catch a drift soaring high
Unwavering am I
Cross my heart an hope to die

Connecting is ever stranger
No longer is longing longer
Pounding forever stronger
Coming together together

Intertwine with the divine
Alive and doing fine
Letting the love shine
Crossing the finishing line

LYRICS
You’ve made yourself a major ordeal
For real

The sergeants and lieutenants promoted each other
Into the fraternal order of the brother
Now they’re all a major ordeal
With far less public appeal

You’ve made yourself a major ordeal
For real

The Mayor behind closed doors makin’ a secret deal
With a nod and a wink the deal she’ll seal
Throwing her weight… she couldn’t wait to create a real ordeal

You’ve made yourself a major ordeal
For real

LYRICS
If they say you’ve got to grin and bare it
Are they aware you don’t want to hear it
Raise your voice by choice and dare to share it

[verses whispered]
Something’s quite wrong
Corruption’s going on
For way too long
Policeman as the con

Something’s quite wrong
Corruption’s going on
The Mayor’s a player
Justice delayer

Something’s quite wrong
Corruption’s going on
Shocking disbelief
In the police chief
