LYRICS
Candy coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize
Starting to realize
I don’t care if I never get back
If there is substance lack… there of
Need more love

Been found about
Your’ old ball game is nuts
Not sane
Blood and guts

LYRICS
Behave
Rave
It’s an evolution revolution

Rave behave
When you behave as though a rave
Evolution revolution solution

If you can just start one heart,
You’re doing your part
If you can just start one heart,
You’re doing your part

That’s how to behave when your rave
Against the machine
Know what I mean?

You wipe the sheen off the plastic gleam
Ya know it’s more than a random chance
More than romance
Evolution revolution

Everybody behave like a rave

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!

Hit the buttons
Twist the dials
Turn the knobs

But, but, but
Pushing buttons

[intro]
Live from KingArthur.com
Got the microphone
Keyboards and synthesizers
(What’s the difference you tell me)
We got ourselves some mixers… and effects…. and some recording
Ya… and a little light… just in case you want to….
But most importantly for this song called, “Pushing buttons”
We have buttons
Pushing buttons

[song]
Twisting knobs
Pushing Buttons
Turn a couple dials
Trying to create the smiles
Contagious to all of us
The Smiles

Pushing buttons

Yeah, pushing buttons
Just pushing buttons

Pushing buttons
Twisting knobs
Trying to make the heart throb
Turning dials
Creating smiles
Pushing buttons

Push
Hugh
Ya gotta push… huh!

If you want something to happen
Then….
Push the button
Yeah, push the button

and turn the dial
and twist the knobs
and make the heart throb
and dials turn the smiles

soothin’
pushin’
the botton
go ahead

push for all of us
push for all of us

Shark swimming in the streets of Margate, NJ during Hurricane Sandy:

LYRICS
Devastating.
The scene…
Devastated.
Do you devastate?

Some irate primate altered our state.

Nevertheless,
We found a way to make music play

As if God added an eighth day

The New Old Part 2.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Dub Step

Written and recorded on October 7 and 30, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. I found the basic track on the digital recorded. It must have been left over from the October 7 recording session. Since the name of the album is The New Old, I added some lyrics about Hurricane Sandy. She pretty much re-arranged the old into the new normal. And, though it was a devastating event, there was a silver lining to the storm. It was if God created an eighth day in the week filled with the comfort of music.

Oh, yeah… the part about the irate primate… that is anyone who has helped create the Frankenstorm… that is anyone who has contributed to volatile weather through human induced climate change.
