Chorus
Girl or no girl
My heart is split apart
Girl or no girl
My heart is split apart
Far away

I thought I’d never see the day
When things would go… go my way
Now the world’s… the world’s my pearl
Not gonna be a bug on the grill

Chorus

Bridge
And, I live by myself for a while
Finally, my face wear’s a great big smile
I’ve come to find that no girl
Will make me squirm or squirrel

Girl or no girl
My life is split apart
Girl or no girl
My life is going to start
Today

LYRICS
The police, like lice, will get in your hair
The police, like lice, are everywhere

Suppose to be a social servant
Suppose to be a civil servant
But, you’re neither civil nor serving
No, you don’t know how to be civil or serve

Causing me to flee
Bugging me out
The police, like lice
All these lice and flees
They’re bugging me out
I can’t scratch enough
They’re so &%$damn tough

The police, like lice, will get in your hair
The police, like lice, are everywhere

Police
Mean
Scream, “We need help!”

Hello, 911
I’m being assaulted by an officer of the law
He’s out of line
He’s out of bounds
He’s an outlaw

Assault
Kidnapping
Being restrained against my will
Bring on more trouble, still

LYRICS
Your voice is a gift from God
Let’s hide our pride
Instead of being proud
Let’s get loud

Your voice is a gift from God
Let’s get out The Word
With a meaning deeper
Than just a sound blurb

Can you feel it?
Can you hear it?
Can you get to know it?

If you listen with your heart
You can start to take part
Are you listening?

Wisdom and knowledge glistening
With the power of know
You can go

LYRICS
Will you follow?
Will you follow me to the other side?

Will you come with me to see?
Will you come?
(Watch afar as the world comes undone)

Did you know you could go
Pass through the looking glass
Why not pass through the looking glass

Come with me and see
Pass through the looking glass
Go deep inside
Then, spread it far and wide
Dig deep inside
Then, spread it far and wide

To the other side
To the farside
From inside to outside

Do you know
Will you follow
Will you go
Will you come with me
Will you come see
What lies beyond
Come to see
What lies with me

LYRICS
Got to try to get the knot out of whatnot
Got to try to untangle the mess
Got to try to straighten out the situation
Before we go into critical realization

Got to get the know out of whatnot
Before we’re dead, buried and forgot
Got to try to untangle this mess
Got to get the knot out of whatnot
Got to get the not out of whatnot

Got to see… maybe if we clear the debris
Maybe we can grasp the notion
Rise up above the commotion

Let’s get things in motion
Quit searching for a magic potion
There’s no need to cross the ocean
Again and again and again
No need to climb a mountain

Forget about never
We’ll stick together
Forget about forever
We’re right now
Somehow
We’re going to rise above the commotion
Get a grasp of the notion
We can create a motion
We can untangle this mess, I confess
Get the knot out of whatnot
Get the not out of whatnot

LYRICS
Through the gauntlet to the guillotine
When you get caught up, get caught up, get caught up…
In the money machine
It’s through the gauntlet to the guillotine

When you get caught up, get caught up, get caught up…
In the money machine
The people are nice…
They’re oh so mean

You’d hope you’d wake from this dream
’cause it’s too obscene
See what you can bring to the scene

You would think enough stink
You would have thought we’ve had enough to drink of that stink

Through the gauntlet to the guillotine
’till you’ve seen everything obscene

Why would you stretch the neck for the blade
Get out of the sun and into the shade
Before you know how to swim, you’d better just wade
Out of the sun and into the shade

May the light of grace touch upon us
May the grace of your touch light us up

Chorus
After The End
We’ll Begin
When those that deserve win

Will the might of your grace scare the fright out of us
When we’re aware… might your touch light us up?

Chorus

Life’s all fair when death’s upon us
You either sink low below…
Or, rise up, up, up

After The End

As you believe in Our
We’ll gain in power
By the hour

As love reaches infinite
We’ll grow passionate
By the minute

I believe! I reckon…
Love becomes the trend

Can you see… can you see the light at the end of the tunnel
Can it be… can it be we might solve our puzzle
1,2,3… 1,2,3 hang-on tight… use all our muscle

Repeat verses

Land or sea… land or sea or flight
Unite… couple
Can you see… can you see the light at the end of the tunnel
Can it be… can it be we might solve our puzzle

LYRICS
I might think that I know it all
But, if I knew it all
I’d know I don’t know it all

What I don’t know
I don’t at all

Some of the stuff I thought I know
… I was wrong
Some of the stuff I thought I knew
… it’s a sad song
But, now I know
I know

When it comes to that
I know exactly where it’s at

I might think that I know it all
But, if I knew it all
I’d know I don’t know it all

About mistakes
There’s something I can take from every mistake
What I don’t know
I don’t at all

I don’t know what I don’t know
I don’t know that at all

Why don’t we play music
We’ll dance the day away
With a step that’s quick
We’ll sing and jig and play

The love of music can cure the sick
Trying to find how to be kind to mankind
Healing the sick — a touch of music
Helping mankind find the kind king

Chorus

Making the love of music your pick
Finding the kind kin in humankind
Feeling the music through thin and thick
Bringing up the last from behind

LYRICS
Let’s see if we can salvage the New Age
Newage
Not sewage
Let’s see if we can stop the damage
Newage
Not sewage

You’d think in this day and age
We could figure out how to salvage the damage
That we’ve done
Instead we beat our chests like chimpanzees
Thinking that we’ve won

In this time
Instead of it being mine
I hope it’s yours
I wish you a happy life

If there was ever a time
When the fruit was ripe on the vine
The time is now
If there was ever a time to figure out how
The time is now

Let’s salvage
Less damage
Let’s salvage the damage

Newage instead of sewage
New Age instead of sewage

Do you hear Her?

Will you fear Her
Or, will She bring you comfort and joy
Enjoy

Then, The End
Amen.

Will we be running for our lives…
In fear

Or, will She bring you comfort and joy
