LYRICS
Fame
Fortune
Is it all it’s cracked-up to be?

Once you let them in
The people around you change
And, it’s a shame

Once you let them in
You’ll be wishing to begin again
And, it’s a sin

Once you let them in
They’re bound to re-arrange
Your life’s game

Fame
Fortune
Is it all it’s cracked-up to be?

LYRICS
This just isn’t some enchanted evening
Or, is it?
Lzzy on stage singing her soul out
All the crowd
Singing out loud
Singing their souls out

The tale of the tail

This isn’t just some enchanted evening
Or, is it?

Vent about the event
Vent event

This isn’t some enchanted evening
Or, is it?
Is there some magic in the air?
Is the atmosphere… clear?

This isn’t just some enchanted evening
Or, is it?

We’re finally coming out of the dark
Headed to a brand new start
This storm will surely pass
Then, we can begin… at last

Last train’s ready to depart
The next age coming at us fast
New levels of love to surpass

LYRICS
If an angel hit your bug screen
Would you know what it means?
If an angel hit your windshield
Would you feel?

Are you familiar with the real deal
How an angel would feel
Are you familiar with the real deal
An angel is for real

You can thank God for your angels
Just don’t be satanic
And, throw this opportunity away
Forgo this opportunity today

It’s unlikely to come back another day
Don’t let is escape away
You know what to do
If an angel hits your bug screen
You don’t want it to be because you’re mean
If an angel hits your windshield
It would be wise to feel
Wiser yet to deal

LYRICS
Now, here is where I am
Here is where we are
It may appear we haven’t moved far
But, we’ve been there and back again

Now, here is where we are

I’m hoping that along the way
We learned a lesson or two
Some sort-of cumulative knowledge
That will help us gain… an edge
So, we’ll be further ahead
So, we gain an edge
Not be perched on the ledge

Here is where I am
Here is where we are
Though it may appear that we haven’t moved that far
’cause we’ve been there and back again

LYRICS
Please forget what you are doing
Can you forget what you’re doing
Forget what you are doing
There’s something more important ensuing
That is worth you pursuing
You’re undivided attention for more than a short span is required
Please, no excuse… you’re too tired
Please no excuses
And, no… you’re not being thrown under buses
It’s time we focus
Time to wake

Can you forget
For a moment
Or, longer yet
What you’re doing?
Whatever it is you’re doing
There’s something over here with pursuing
And, like it or not, it’s ensuing
Right now
It’s not the future
It’s not the past quite yet
But, if you can’t forget what you are doing
It will no longer be present

I’d like to catch it, bottle it, cork it for you
But, it’s going on… and I don’t know for how long

LYRICS
Driving down the road, I saw a bumper sticker
Reading, “If you could ask God one question, what would it be?”

I couldn’t ‘ve thunk much quicker
Before it occurred to me —
Why?

The gauntlet of life
May you be the light
Shinning bright
So rife
Ever evolving cycles
Letting us grow together
Bugle of Gabriel
All things getting better

I use to be the image of an ape, too
… just like you
We’ve traveled through
To a condition of raised vibration

An eye on why I?

LYRICS
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, lift-off
This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
Can you hear me, Major Tom
Are you even awake?
Cause if you are, I have a feeling you’d shake
We don’t need gun-control
What’s needed hear is bomb-control

We nuked all these kids in World War II
Then, we tried to… er, a… ya know… say it wasn’t true

How about in Iraq
When we did the attack
On the sewage treatment plants
Just so we could kill tens of thousands and thousands of kids
With their own feces
We’ll my thesis is — that’s sick!

This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
Can you hear me, Major Tom
Are you even awake?

Are you conscience
Do you have a conscience

This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
Can you hear me, Major Tom
I’m telling ya
Something’s gone wrong
The wiring in your brain has gone insane
The drone attacks
The CIA
You can’t just sodomize everyone everyday

This is Bomb-control to Major Tom
Can you hear me, Major Tom
Come in
Can you hear me….

This is Bomb-control
And, I gotta say things are outta control

ABOUT THE SONG

LYRICS
After a massacre
People get a scare
As though they’re unaware
They try to take my scissors away

Hey! Thinking gone astray
Taking my scissors Away

Just because someday
Someone, somewhere
May slay
You’re going to take my scissors away?

When you can’t take a gun on a plane
The insane use the plane
Does that make it sane to take the plane?

Tough to own a gun in China
So, the insane stab ya
Are we all going to be eating with spoons soon?

Save the day
Before they take my scissors away
