LYRICS
Said, the cat to the mouse,
“The race is on”
You know the race is on
Run!

The race is on

You know the race is on
When you hear the starting gun
The race is on
It’s time to run

Said, the dog to the cat,
“The race is on…
Didn’t you hear the starting gun?
Come on and run ’cause the race is on”

You know the race is on
When you hear the starting gun
Come on and run

Don’t hesitate as we commence the chase

Said, the spider to the fly,
“The race is on…
Go on and run,
The sticky web that I weave
Makes it hard to leave.”

Come on the race is on

1, 2… 1, 2 ready go

They’re off!
The race is on

You better run
Before the setting sun

Didn’t you hear the starting gun?
It’s in my heart to give you a little head start

LYRICS
Last chance

If you knew this was your last chance
Would you take the opportunity to dance?
If you knew this was the last dance
Would you take the opportunity
Would you take the chance?

Let’s not let the opportunity lapse
Let’s not let all our future drain into the past
Let’s take the opportunity to dance

Dance!

Dance yourself right out of those pants
Dance
Forget about the politicians and their rants
Forget about all that silly nonsense
Come on and dance

What if you knew this was your last chance
Last chance
Last dance
Last call
For ya’ll to dance?

LYRICS
Let’s get in sync

A jazz experimental ditty
Try to get into some spiritual possibility
In this time, in this day, in this age
When you want to turn the page
And get a way from history
Because that’s not my story
I might be a product of my genes
I might be a product of my environment
I’m not a product of the obscene
I’ve come to appreciated what life means

If you feel like your downtrodden… down beat…
Of the old narrate
If you can’t figure out what the hell you’re doing here
When this is heaven
Well, maybe you haven’t been forgiven
Or, maybe you haven’t been enlightened
It’s not too late

Whenever things get hard…
When you think it’s hard
Of course it might depend on your tissue
Your issue
’cause you could be soft inside
The hardened shell is your own hell

It could be just as well
Come out of that shell
With that soft underbelly
Crawl out… it’ll be funny
Come to see
Enlightenment
And, that’s excitement
That’s how you create a thrill
So that people will chill
Create a thrill
And get rid of ill-will

LYRICS
Prelude (recorded in the soundcheck)
What if I’ve just been the victim of the world’s greatest con
What if I’m just a victim of everything that’s gone wrong
And, we all bleed
When one of us is bleeding, we concede to bleed.

The Song
Have I just been the victim of the world’s greatest con?
All these people and politicians tell me nothing’s gone wrong?
That’s the wrong song!

Try to convince me
We’re not responsible?
Yes, you try to convince me
That we’re not responsible?
That’s most irresponsible

We’re responsible for all this trash
We’re responsible for all this mess
We’re responsible for all pollution
We’re responsible for institution
De-civilization

Maybe it’s time
We woke up and smell the coffee
Can you smell the coffee
Or, is it just me?

We’ve all got something wrong going on
Well, folks…
Look behind that curtain
It’s a hoax
The Wizard is you
Now, what’cha gonna do?

Have we just victimized ourselves of the greatest con
It’s all around
How it went wrong is now in song

Is it just me or do we have to take responsibility?

’cause long ain’t what we got
Your time is running short

Ashes to ashes… return to dirt

I wouldn’t take long

Since your time is getting cut short
Try ‘en let it out as one long blurt
… or, make ’em tingle with a lil’ jingle
… move ’em along with an uplifting song

Here they come
Where will they fall
Deaf or dumb
Will they hear the call?

The harder they come

The bigger they come

No matter how tall
No feeling… they’re numb
Did their brains all stall?

The bigger they come
The harder they fall
The bigger they come
The harder their fall

LYRICS
I suppose if this is the calm before the storm
I should take refuge and heed the warn
If things go helter skelter
Do you want to live in a bomb shelter?

Enough picking have and have nots
Enough debating whys and why nots
Lets get getting while the going is good
Livin’ in the moment… just a bit
Never the regret of would, could, should
(no would of, could of, should of’s)

LYRICS
We’re moving… moving into the light
It feels right
We’re moving… moving into the light
It’s alright

No sense trying to fight the fight
Why go to war against war
No sense trying to slight with might
Might just find Self dead on the floor
Might as well banish all the blight
Can’t imagine life as a bore
Making others’ days bright with insight
Taking off on a spiritual tour

I found myself smack dab in the middle of a protest
Not exactly sure what it’s about
I find we always had… everything we need…

One thing’s for sure
These people want out

Lout out there… smell freedom in the air
Feel the movement of our moment
Hear the call for all
A taste of freedom is right there

Relevant
As an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop

It’s time to be big
Big… bigger than this
Bigger than this
A luscious kiss
Able to transcend
Again and again

Time to get relevant
Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop

Relevant

Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop
Irreverent in a reverent way
Instead of gone astray
We can band together
As a band
Not, necessarily hand-in-hand
(Staying unique)

Coming relevant
Like an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop!
