LYRICS
When you get in the flow
You get to know
What it means to float downstream down streams
Until you see seas totally

In the current
Of the current
Currently current

Does the flow tow
Do you tow the flow
Getting in the know
When you get in the flow

LYRICS
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!

Can a color be ugly
Let’s look and see
Are your guts pretty
As pretty as can be

Have you ever looked within your skin
What are the tales of your entrails
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!

How can you suggest
A color’s the ugliest
If you don’t mind
Being color blind
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!

Look inside and see what you see
Are your guts pretty
As pretty as can be
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!

Opaque Couché
Opaque Couché

The song is about a study of the ugliest color: “The agency GfK asked a thousand smokers which colour they found most visually offensive, with a view to covering cigarette packets with it. Pantone 448C, or opaque couché came out top. Respondents associated the colour with “dirty”, “death”, and “tar”.”  Well, before you call a color ugly, look at the color of your insides.

LYRICS
Won’t you
Or can’t you
Give love a chance

If you want your life to be won
Then come on, come on! Let’s run
With a glistening glance
I in the eye
Give love a chance

Could you
Or would you
Give love a chance

It will thrill you
Give love a chance

Hmmm… I was approached by another GOOD cop today. That makes two… now, I don’t know what to do. How do you write a song about good cops? This is virgin territory for me. The working title is Peoplesmith. A “smith” is an artisan or craftsman. A goldsmith is a metalworker who specializes in working with gold and other precious metals. A Peoplesmith is a craftsman that works with people.

Phase her with a taser
Make ’em run from your gun
Guillotine’s razor
If ya catch ’em havin’ fun

Treat ’em rough n’ handcuff
No cutting slack

LYRICS
If I could be still
For a moment… I will
I could try
To figure out why

Watch the wold fly by
Until I get my fill
Why do we kill freewill
My, oh, my! Deep breath…. *sigh*

Not too introspective
Try to gain perspective
Sit and wonder why
The love does die

Chorus

Maybe at last
I could grab a grasp
Go back to moving fast
By-pass the time lapse

LYRICS
Are you just a memory lost along the way
Make a testimonial on Memorial Day
If we can’t remember today
How can we be tomorrow’s sorrow

Do you suck a mammary just so you can say
I was raised for days in a natural way
If we can’t justify today
We’re gonna be tomorrow’s sorrow

LYRICS
Due to your deadly glare
Your eye-piercing stare
We’re gonna knock ya right outta there
An internal affair

Question authority? How do you dare
Whoever said justice is blind or fair?

X-ray eyes see through I
The I should not lie
Cross my heart and hope to die
My judgment day in the sky

It’s an internal affair
Up the bum ingrown hair
After what you did to my Ma
There’s need for an enema
An investigation of your digestion
An internal investigation

LYRICS
I’m not sure the lesson learnt
Was the lesson intended
Just because you’re wearing blue
Doesn’t mean you can do what you want to
Bringing on the blue boneheaded blues

You’re in my face
In my place
Trying to inflict respect
Systemic cyst
On the rectum ready to rupture
A corruption rapture

Come see the light at Gay Church
Church and Gay each and every day
“On your knees, Boy!” Pray!
Pray at Church and Gay
On your knees and pray

LYRICS
By chance
Have you heard of the Gay Church Dance?
Allow your senses to enhance
On your feet to the beat
Take your dance stance

Here at Church with no steeple
There’s no doors… just dancing people
Chorus

By chance
Are you doing the Gay Church Dance?
To the cadence of life’s romance
Get off the fence and dance

Gay — meant: merriment, as in happy
Pickup the pace increase velocity
To and fro ’til you get to know
How to go, cat, go, go, go

Has anyone seen some sun
Everything veiled in grayscale
A sliver of light would be alright
Delivery from doldrums blight

Rah Ra Hey! Say ray
Right? Right!
Bring on the light

The clouds are putting up a fight
It’ll be too late with the onset of sunset
As any chance is lost to the night
It’s been so long since daylight… I forget

Chorus

May this day give way
As we let the music play
We’ve begun to let in some sun
Out of the shadows through the windows

LYRICS
Police misconduct coated in corruption
An institution of misrepresentation
Brutal brutality beyond reality
In a cloak of hypocrisy

Lord! Save me
Have mercy

Opaque transparency obscured vision
Runaway truck… off the rails… collision
Backwoods thinking social illusion
Militant morons in collusion

Lord! Save me
Have mercy

Po-po doing a no-no… they don’t know
Civil rights trampled won’t grow
Through brute force respect you’ll bestow?
Enraged blockhead lands a fatal blow

Lord! Save me
Have mercy
Lord! Save me
Have mercy
