LYRICS
No deposit. No return.
Will the naive burn
If ignorance is bliss
What happens after this?
For every action’s re-action
Are we talking object in motion?
The gravity of naivety
Argh! It’s killing me
(PS no B.S… you, too)
No deposit. No return.
Will the naive ever learn
There’s no bliss in ignorance
If ignorance is bliss…
What do you call this?
There ain’t no slowing down
My brain’s on the train
Blowin’ this bliss town
Wave bye-bye by-and-by
Ain’t tellin’ no lie
Wave bye-bye by-and-by

LYRICS
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey;
Along came a spider,
Who sat down beside her
And scared (frightened) Miss Muffet away.
Will the scales of justice balance
Society wails for balance existence

There’s a lesson that I need to remember
When everything is falling apart
In life, just like in loving
There’s such a thing as trying to hard
You’ve gotta sing
Like you don’t need the money
Love like you’ll never get hurt
You’ve gotta dance
Like nobody’s watching
It’s gotta come from the heart
If you want it to work.

LYRICS
The world seems less wild
If you can crack a smile
The beasts turn more mild
Now let’s dance a while
And a 1 and a 2
Here’s a smile for you
Ya know… do the Do-si-do
And Skip to My Lou
Put your left foot in
Put your left foot out
Shout! Win-win
Do the hoochie coochie coo
LYRICS
Have you ever been the victim of corruption
And at a loss for what to do
Public corruption in the Justice institution
Consider it ironic? Consider it tainted, too
The police, attorneys and judge to name a few
It’s hard to believe these animals are running the zoo
At a loss for what to do
Have you ever been the victim of a public servant
No one can believe it’s true
The way they manipulate and circumvent
Attempting to leave no clue
The police, attorneys and judge to name a few
It’s hard to believe these animals are running the zoo
At a loss for what to do
LYRICS
Is that right?
I see a shimmering light
As though reflected from the rippling surface off the water of life
Don’t let the surface tension cause strife
Just go with the flow…? Even the water doesn’t know
It just babbles away
Listen to what you say

LYRICS
Scary sorcery
Amen or omen
Evil demon
Or getting lucky
Nose twitches
Familiar with witches
The crossing of a path
God’s wrath
Is left to right alright
Scottish or pettish
Celtic mythology
Fairly fairy genealogy
Death by misfortune
Granting favorable times
The stuff of nursery rhymes
Written and recorded live in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA. Video features a black cat.
The folklore surrounding black cats varies from culture to culture. The Scottish believe that a strange black cat’s arrival to the home signifies prosperity. In Celtic mythology, a fairy known as the Cat Sìth takes the form of a black cat. Black cats are also considered good luck in Japan. Furthermore, it is believed that a lady who owns a black cat will have many suitors. However, in Western history, black cats have often been looked upon as a symbol of evil omens, specifically being suspected of being the familiars of witches, and so most of Europe considers the black cat a symbol of bad luck, especially if one crosses paths with a person, which is believed to be an omen of misfortune and death. In Germany, some believe that black cats crossing a person’s path from right to left, is a bad omen. But from left to right, the cat is granting favorable times.
The black cat in folklore has been able to change into human shape to act as a spy or courier for witches or demons. When the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock, they brought with them a devout faith in the Bible. They also brought a deepening suspicion of anything deemed of the devil and were a deeply suspicious group. They viewed the black cat as a companion, or a familiar to witches. Anyone caught with a black cat would be severely punished or even killed. They viewed the black cat as part demon and part sorcery. — Wikipedia
