LYRICS
We’re living here quite happily
Don’t you cry for me
No, no sense feeling pity
Don’t you cry for me

Oh no please don’t be sad
I love the days we’ve had
Oh yes please do be glad
This life ain’t half bad

Oh no please don’t be mad
I love the ways of fad
Oh yes seize the moment
That the Lord for movement

LYRICS
Unfortunately,
Found in the thick of sick

Does your head hang heavy
Thick as a brick?

… in the thick of sick
Found in the thick of sick
Come ’round

Quick,
Let’s get you out of there…
Fortunately

A ground swell of well
A well of goodwill
Well, good
Freewill
Until
The End

LYRICS
Live from KingArthur.com with an important public service announcement:

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of you fine citizens out there in TV-land…
Don’t forget to tip the bartender
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses

I’d like to tip the waitresses
… I’d like to tip the waitresseses
For making us tipsy
A tip for making us tipsy

If you just showed up
Raise a cup
Here’s what’s up
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses
A tip for getting us tipsy

Now, I think I’ll walk home….
Maybe… if it’s not an inconvenience I’ll just sleep on your couch. I could sleep on the floor… you don’t need to worry… I’ll lock the door… on my out.
I could lock up?

Raise a cup
A tip to the waitresses

Don’t forget the bartender
Yeah, that’s a hard job… listening to all of our wine… ya know… we go into such detail… blah, blah, blah….

LYRICS
If you listen to Her words
They’re like a whisper on the wind

Wind whisperer
Bestow to know
Wind whisperer
Ebb and flow

Time and Tide waits for no man
(no man’s land)
There’s no time to understand
(no man’s land)

Ride the tide
Wings of windshear
Ride the slide
Soul of atmosphere

The path is clear

No God to fear

Keeps me stuck to the face of the Earth

Ever since my mother gave birth
I’ve been stuck to the the Earth
Until the day I die
Gotta wonder why

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

Go on now shake your money maker
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

Go on now make your money shake Her
Gotta make those angels sing
Come on now make givers of livers
It’ll never be a mundane thing

Look around, no one’s found, none around

LYRICS
The Damage Age
Is making it’s mark
Takin’ the blue view
And turning it dark

Don’t be so subtle
Well, Turtle
Pull your head form your shell

Start trashin’ fashion
Of greed and hate
Shine love from above
The world can not wait

De-ostracize
Dear, Ostrich
And pull your head from the sand

State, “In the end it just can’t wait!”

LYRICS
Don’t you regret
There’s no logic left
When you shoot yourself in the foot
After giving yourself the boot

Don’t you regret
There’s no logic left
Certainty requires no bet
Risk is negated — daft

Don’t you regret
There’s no logic left
Should’ve had a safety net
Oh my God, there’s been a theft

Don’t you regret
There’s no logic left
