LYRICS
The Queen of the make-believe
Going to the gossip garbage dump
To see what she can retrieve
Talk about the cold-shoulder
She’s giving me the freeze

The Queen of the make-believe
Heading to the garbage dump to see what she can retrieve

Pick up some dirt
With the intention to hurt
Got some balls up her skirt
The Queen of the make-believe

Swimming in the sleaze
Talk about a cold-shoulder
It’s a deep freeze
Get’s her kicks out of making up $hit

Guess we’re in that age
When there’s no turning the page
You’d think those in favor of free speech
Would have some sort-of outrage
Let the truth shine in
Maybe we can begin
To have a rational conversation
About a prosperous civilization

The Queen of the make-believe
Going to the gossip garbage dump
To see what she can retrieve

LYRICS
I scream
As my eyes scream
The ice cream has left the cone alone
Toppled to the concrete
Left with none to eat

If your lollipop got covered in lint
Here’s a lil’ housekeeping hint
Don’t let your meat loaf
Ending up as a meatloaf oaf

Could leave a bad taste in your mouth
Like a racist from the old south

If you can’t have your cake and eat it too
Maybe the whole world ain’t just about you

LYRICS
Just when I’m starting to think
I’ve got the ling for ink
I start to begin
Letting the inkling
Commencing settling
The inkling sets in

It’s when I do have a clue
A dash of wit… I get it
No need for gossip or a hissy fit

LYRICS
Since your inevitable ending is clear
Hold life dear
Though your inevitable ending is clear
Have no fear

The credible evitable is sensible
The unavoidable — inevitable
Even though death is certain
’till my final curtain, I am able

Will your soul remain stable or be left as fable?

LYRICS
Jesus!
Oh, my God
(ooops)
Oh, oh… how odd
To claim you as my God. My God!
We won’t be one ’till I’m done?
Guess it won’t be ’till I’m dead
That being said
Hope I haven’t made my bed
Gotta lie in it
Gotta die in it
Forgive me Lord
For I have sinned
Sinned again, again, again
What’s been has been
Has been
Now I’d love to start again
Love love to start again
Love Love to start again

LYRICS
May your light shine bright
Feeling alright!
May your light shine bright
So you feel alright
Into the night
May your sky be litter with stars
Bringing light from afar

Alright, may your light shine bright
Alright! May your light shine bright
And, your night…
Sky…
Keep you high
Night sky
Lit with light from afar
Bringing you light from afar
Littered with stars with light from afar

Sometimes in the night
The moon will redirect the light
And, it can shine, shine, shine
Make ya feel fine
Standing in the moonlight
Moonlight

I’m…
Gettin’ a moontan
Gettin’ a moontan on
May your light shine bright
Feeling alright
Get your moontan on
Feeling alright
May your light shine bright
Feeling all right, alright?

Get your moontan on
The sky at night
Littered with stars
Bringing you light from afar

Light bright, alright!

LYRICS
The sky is blue
And, the sea is, too
When you pull back your point-of-view
For the heavenly view
They say it looks like a marble of blue
Marble of blue
View of you
Marble of blue

Marble of blue
Looking like I’m one with you
Marble of blue
From their view
I’m one with you

While I’m here, I hope I can do all I can do

(ripple on the water interlude)

Taking in a heavenly view
Marble of blue
They say you’re looking like a marble of blue
Marble of blue
Just hurling through space with the human race
Will they be your flea?
Or, will they set the marble free?

Not looking long ’till we will see

(ripple on the water interlude part 2)

Pop polka dot

Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
It’s tiny
Itsy bitsy
Pop polka dot
Not

You’ve gotta dot your i’s and cross your t’s
Especially
If you’re at the bottom of the bin
Again and again and again

Pop polka dot

Especially
If you’re varmint kin
Again and again and again

It’s tiny
It might seem miniscule
to you all
but to us
it’s worth puttin’ up the fuss
Yeah, put up the fuss

Pop polka dot

It’s the Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

I ask why
You say why not

The dream is not?
Why not…
You might as well be drooling in snot
That’s why not

And, then just when you think you can do it again
You find out not
You’re just a pop polka dot
Not
Dot

Junglized
Realized I’ve been junglized
When I first realized I was junglized
I was surprised

Instead of seeing through rose (colored) glasses
I realized we were just making ourselves into asses
We were looking through jungle eyes
We’ve lost clarity of humanity
Junglized
Jungle eyes

Have you realized
We’ve been junglized
Looking at the world through jungle eyes

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can I attest I protest your protest
Because your protest is lame
Have you gone insane?
This protest is lame

Even if it’s just me that thinks they can see
That this protest needs protesting
And, in and of itself this is interesting
There still needs to be more… more protesting
More sanity, clarity in what it is we want to be
What it is we want to be

It’s time I’m
Going to protest this protest
(Unless we can get it together)

If we don’t stand up and protest this lame protest
We’ll only become less and less… and less and less
Unless we protest this protest

Unless we rise
Unless we realize
Rise
We’ve got to protest this protest
Test the protest
Unless we become less and less

It’s not so much a matter of whether…
We need not confess
It’s much more a matter of whether we become less and less
Unless we protest this protest
Or, become less and less

Here comes the interesting part
… it’s all about you
Do, de, do, de, do-do

Perhaps some sort-of bumble going on in the jungle
When I looked at the end of my arm
I could see a mirror looking back at me
Ohhh, I think I get it
The conspiracy is me

A conspiracy of me
Ohhh, yeah… I’m starting to see
The conspiracy is me
The conspiracy in me
What the difference between you and me
And we
If you’re talking about the conspiracy in me
