LYRICS
As one that has always marveled
At a road less traveled
I love the pace of a race
Blasting off in outer space
Time to get ’round
To our countdown
10,9,8
Too late to wait

Bored to death here on Earth
Ready for interstellar birth
Fly right on by
Our blue sky
None to soon
Zoom past the moon
Time to get ’round
7,6,5
Into overdrive
4,3,2,1
It’s how the race is run
It’s how the race is won
It’s how the race is one

LYRICS
Not sure
There’s a greener pasture
No, I’m not sure
Hence
Then on this side of the fence
My circumstance
The date to appreciate
The date is immediate
The rate we’ll accelerate
Before it’s too late

Turning green
With an envy sheen
Know what I mean?
Cries and moans
Keeping up with the Jones
Cries and moans
Just for fun
Bet you can’t eat just one
One and done
Eyes will bake
More than tummy can take
The date to appreciate
The date is immediate
The rate we’ll accelerate
Before it’s too late

LYRICS
Can anyone tell me
What this is?
Entertainment
… some sort-of show biz?
Can anybody tell me
Is this the show?
Can somebody tell me
I want to know
Somehow
I thought there’d be more
Than Sodom and Gomorrah
Alt-right and spite
Blood and gore
If I might…
If it’s alright
… I thought I might
Write
… a better ending:
Love and the message sending
If complete, something sweet
You join in, too?
The End

LYRICS
Delightning
Enlightening
Put my eye to the keyhole
Put my ear to the rail
Want to see the part and whole
On the head, hit the nail
Never fail to see the light
Seal the deal and wrap it tight

Hold my finger to the wind
From which direction has it been?
Will it pass n’ keep on going
Will I grasp a sense of knowing?
Never fail to see the light
Seal the deal and wrap it tight
Delightning
Enlightening

LYRICS
Please don’t let it be a tragedy
You crying over me
Needn’t be the destiny
You, too
Aspire to travesty?
Fix the cryptics’ mix
In the mind
Kind
In the body
Kindly
In the spirit
Hear it
Here
It

LYRICS
Did I create the landscape
From which I can’t escape
Now to feed
On tumbleweed
And for dessert desert
(… and then desert
For dessert)

Is the solution to the pollution
At the source?
… ahhh of course
Coarse
Rubbing me the wrong way
Hey!
Coarse
Gotta live abrasive
Now I lust
For a mouth free of dust

LYRICS
Might be a waste
If you’re going to space
In search of monsters and aliens
They might already be
Where you’ve been

Take me to your leader
The King “Human Rights Beater”
Space monster you want?
Space monster you got!
Go get? You wont want
What you’ve already got
