LYRICS
Got what we sought
Hot, hot, hot
A joke’s hoax or whatnot
Skin is burnin’
Heart is yearnin’
World keeps turnin’… ’round
Turn the temperature down

Look what we brought
Hot, hot, hot
In my trap, you’re caught
Skin is burnin’
Heart is yearnin’
World keeps turnin’… ’round
Turn the temperature down

Well, thanks a lot
Hot, hot, hot
For the lesson taught
Skin is burnin’
Heart is yearnin’
World keeps turnin’… ’round
Turn the temperature down

LYRICS
What’s the solution
To our institution
The human nation institution of pollution
What’s the solution?
Have we lost control of self-control
Say “it’s close enough for rock and roll”
Destination annihilation
Our species as others’ feces
Suck out our brains
And eat our remains
The toll of our goal

LYRICS
Let’s run around
Like we own the town
Let’s make a sound
That’s gonna resound
When the facts are found
In fact, you do
Own this town
In fact, you do
Me, too
We own this town

Feeling under the gun
You don’t have to run
Time you had some fun
We own this town
Me and you
We own this town
We all do
I can see Lenape was here before me
Till we came up with a bogus treaty
No treat for “we”
More like a treat for me
At the cost of society

Runaround.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
The Lenape Indians lived in their village for thousands of years. Then, William Penn came and named their home Penn’s Woods (Pennsylvania). More European settlers came and took over their village and named the town after the indigenous people they drove out — Lenape, PA.

There are no Lenape left in Lenape. There are no Lenape left in Pennsylvania. There are no Lenepe.

LYRICS
Crossing the line
That’s not the half of it
Did you forget regret?
Crossing the line
While having a fit
Did you forget respect
Bombing babies for bombing babies
Am I blind? I can’t see!
Killing babies hypocrisy
Though the sandbox isn’t mine
I’m drawing the line
When you’re the killing kind
When you’re killing the kind
When you’re crossing the line
It’s not all fine
When it’s you crossing, too

LYRICS
Going to take a ride
On the outgoing tide
Going to catch a wave
Lifeguards who save
We’re on our way
To save the day

Your current situation
Undercurrent navigation
I’m in to help you swim
The struggle we’ll win
We’re on our way
To save the day

We’re all caught in a squall
Mizzen mast took a fall
Main sail’s ready to fail
Get ready to bail
We’re on our way
To save the day

LYRICS
If your best trick’s drastic
Irony of a one-trick-pony
Ain’t that funny
When it cuts ya to the quick
Chorus:
As I’m watching the fish jumping
Head scratching as I’m thinking
Which am I… fish or fly
Which will die… swallow or fry

Can I only face the surface
Or am I willing to dive deep
If we don’t outpace the human race
Ya won’t even hear a peep
(chorus)
Bold to assume both I’ll consume?
Please remain king of the food chain
Yet no matter how hard I try
My know-how’s gonna die
(chorus)
No sense to weep. No sense to cry.
Distraught knot?
Distraught not!

[The fish eats the fly
Then both are eaten by I
We’re all going to die
Would you rather be swallowed or fried?]

LYRICS
Will I recognize you
After we breakthrough
When we reside on the other side
Will we begin again
Starting already knowing
Wondering when the outside we’re in
May the blackness of the heavens
Turn to pure white light
Soul is soaked in safe havens
All is justified just right

Dead but not gone
Playing a long song
Through the light of the night… an eternal dawn
In the light incites
Your light is in my sites
I know I’ll recognize your glow
In the light insights
Your light is in my sights
I know I’ll recognize your glow

“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near.”

LYRICS
Any way to say if you’ll be here today
Any way to know when you’re going to go?
We made the bed we’re going to sleep in
Our best friends and closest of kin

Will I sense that my time has come
Give me a chance before I’ve come undone
Rather dance with crazies then pushing up daisies
All too soon we’re howling at the moon
Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death
Not choosing the path of the devil’s wrath
If She’s calling me to the Promised Land
When it’s time to come home, I understand

LYRICS
The sky’s eyes cry
The eyes of the sky cry
Raining tears of joy
Going to wash and dry
Mother Nature’s toy
Man can try as he can
But he can’t begin
To comprehend
The need to cleanse and mend
Don’t take the bait
To self-annihilate
Quick before it’s too late
Self-inflicted wound
Again and again
Self-inflicted wound
’till you turn your mound
Into a mountain
Again and again
Self-annihilation nation
Desolation Boulevard
Runnin’ through your backyard
Traffic jam of fossil fuel fools
They say they saw the sign, “Humanity, USA — Left”
So they turned around and went home alone
Bye-bye
The sky’s eyes cry
Bye-bye
The eyes of the sky cry
Bye-bye

LYRICS
You showing me your hospitality
You’re giving faith in all humanity
Nothing can go wrong
When you’re in the song
It won’t be long

I like your attitude
Love your gratitude
You’re showin’ me

The serenity of serendipity

You’re glowing… the (I’ll)luminosity
You’re growing from the generosity
Everything is all right
When of you I write
Carries us through the night

LYRICS
If you’re feelin’ a ‘lil blue
I’ve the remedy just for you
The blues will take your blues away
Bluebird singin’ about a sunny day
Sunny days are on your way

If a black cloud follows you around
Don’t let it ever let it get you down
Ear to the earth and feel the sound
Soon enough your song will be found

If a shadow follows you
Something you can do
To your heart be true
Shine the point-of-view

LYRICS
A dude in Düsseldorf wielding and axe
Orlando, Bowling Green and other lax facts
We call these terrorist attacks?
We call these…
Oh, Lord, please
Woods through the trees
Watching hell freeze…
Over
Discover getting closer to over
Try to bend
The End?
Make no mistake
It might break
A machete at the Leuve
Messing with the groove
Bomb the Boston Marathon
The list goes on and on
Sandy Hook we mistook
Virginia Tech… what the heck?
Colorado… we don’t know
South Carolina… na, na, na

Partly cloudy
Just enough blue
Let’s the sun through
A pretty day in the city
A great day in America
The children sing, “La, la, la”
A warm breeze
Turns thoughts like these
Into life’s keys
A glimpse of you
In the rearview
Are you coming to?
A pretty day in the city
A great day in America
The children sing, “La, la, la”

Quick, cut to the quick
Big… large?
Who’s in charge?
Don’t want to be seasick
Got to cut to the quick
Is it going to be big… is it going to be epic
It looks like this is going to be epic
Dig… dig deep… is it going to be big? Dig!
Is it going to be XXL… who’s in charge?
Who’s in charge to be in charge
Cut to the quick, quick!
Will you please appease and cut to the quick, quick
It seems the seams of the dreams have come un-stitched
Reincarnation itch
Is it a bitch?
We can do better
The fact of the matter… it matters, in fact, we can do better
It seems the seams seep reality… for me… you and me… we… reality
