LYRICS
R.I.P.
Rest in peace
Harry Houdini
Let us see
Life’s lease
The world of spirit
All the mortal
Move near it
It is said
We’re closer to the dead
Reveal
The spirit world is real
Let it be seen
On Halloween
The soul in this sole
Was given birth on Earth
A seance sentence
“Our beloved spirit, we bring you gifts from life into death. Commune with us, spirit, and move among us.”
We believe you will hear it
ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — Dm Em Am
Some are born on Halloween. Harry Houdini died on Halloween. There are many who believe it is the day of the year that the mortal world is closest to the spiritual world. Every year they hold a seance in an attempt to contact Harry’s spirit.
Summoning spirits: “Our beloved [name of spirit], we bring you gifts from life into death. Commune with us, [name of spirit], and move among us.”

LYRICS
Come out of the dark
Take a walk in the park
Forget about how things should have been
Rid the sin
Chorus
Get high on a new thing
Come on let’s sing
Music is the language that soothes the soul
Get high on a new thing
Come on let’s sing
Won’t take long for song to rock and roll
Step into the light
Gain second sight
Remember how great it is livin’
Start! Begin!

LYRICS
Your grievous actions
Have made me sit up… take notice
They’ll be no satisfactions
Out of ill will and malice
When it comes to human rights
You seem to have missed the boat
All your ridiculous fights
The logic just won’t float
The time is coming
For our cup overflowing
We will discover
Our cup spilleth over

LYRICS
You can’t smoke
You can’t drink
They’re passing a law — you can’t think
You can’t toke
Doesn’t oppression stink?
Placing the last straw
You can’t even blink
Chorus
America!
Home of the free and brave?
America!
Or are we now the slave?
The bloated bloke
Greased palm and a wink
Causing a flaw
And more than one kink

How nice it is to live
Say it once. Say it twice —
How nice it is to live

So that we may stay alive
Start to realize

Thanks, God, that you give
Us all a chance to live
Thank the Lord what we’ve
Been given a chance to live

LYRICS
It’s time to season the season
With the spice of life
Add a slice with no strife
Mouth waterin’… heart pleasin’
Find a reason with reason
A taste of good taste
No crumb going to waste
Mouth waterin’… heart pleasin’
Take a bite. I ain’t teasin’
Sprinkle some love on lovin’
Add a dash of comfort and joy
The all age perfect toy
For your holiday season
Add a dash of comfort and joy
A perfect toy for every girl and boy

LYRICS
Sea lion devastation
Dolphins beached again
What’s the solution
The ocean solution
Are you sure
There’re sea serpents washing ashore
Once more
Are you sure
There’re sea serpents washing ashore
Crustacean radiation
Pollution. Extinction.
What’s the solution
The ocean solution
Save the whale — fail
Coral reef — disbelief
What’s the solution
The ocean solution
ABOUT THIS SONG

D G Am
This song was inspired over the tragedies occurring in our seas. Massive sea lion deaths in the West, and massive dolphin deaths in the East… the radiation leaking into the Pacific from Japan… Greenpeace trying to stop Japan from killing whales… while trying to protect the North sea, getting jailed by Russians… then, sea serpents washing up on the beaches.

LYRICS
Taking music to the streets
To the rhythm of heartbeats
The ears that it meats
Melts souls into treats
In my mind, tryin’ to find the kind
Tryin’ to be the kind to remind
Tryin’ to find the kind kind
Where the strong become meek
And the meek get a streak
Beauty embraces the freak
Love’s pinnacle we reach
Chorus
Letting the spirit hear it
Logic is coherent
The presence of hate — absent
The meaning of love — is meant

LYRICS
Once the beast’s released
He’s hard to get leashed
He’ll run around the yard
A chicken… no head
Up the sleeve a card
Bitchin’… inbred?
The more you chase
The more evasive
‘tellin you
The more you pursue
The more about-face
Like water through sieve
Fair adieu
Once the beast’s released
He’s hard to get leashed

LYRICS
There’s a flag blowin’ in the wind
Do you know where it’s been?
The stars and stripes through the perilous night
Let’s get it right
Make sure it’s what it’s suppose to be
If you really ever want to be free
There’s a dog howlin’ at the moon
Feels the end is coming soon
Time to wake up and fight a better fight
Let’s get it right
Make sure it’s what it’s suppose to be
If you really ever want to be free
There’s a man with head in hands
Trying to grasp… no one understands
Time to make-up and light what is right
Out of sight
Make sure it’s what it’s suppose to be
If you really ever want to be free

Gotta make those coins sing
Come on now make givers of takers
Turn it into a Sunday thing
Chorus
It’s funny how this human race is run
When someone’s lost, how can anyone have won?
And, the band played on under the sun

Gotta make those angels sing
Come on now make givers of livers
It’ll never be a mundane thing
