LYRICS
Did you catch that rabbit
You were looking right at it
Please don’t say it got away
… to live to see another day?
Hey, no way!
That rabbit didn’t get away
Funny bunny
Not really that funny
He said, it’s dead
Caught that rabbit
You got it

Say it
Say it
Say it some more
You know the world I love heard
Say it
Say it
Say it some more
You know the world I adore
I love to say the word
So the word is heard
Love — to adore
Say it some more
I love to say, play it, always relay it
What are you thinking of
The love of love?
Love — to adore
Let’s do it some more

LYRICS
The moon and the air
How soon till clear
Crisp autumn night
Bring on the starlight
The cry of the Red Tail passes by
The chirps of the crickets begin to die
The sun falls from the sky
The moon and the air
How soon till clear
Crisp autumn night
Bring on the starlight
The blue hue overhead fades to red
In the twilight, day and night are wed
Dreams are fed to the head
The moon and the air
How soon till clear
Crisp autumn night
Bring on the starlight
Waiting patiently until dark surrounds
It won’t be long now the sun is down
Stars move in… we turn round

LYRICS
I’ve had it… a long time
Dog gone it… this habit of mine
I’ve had it… a long time
There’s no defeating
Keeping my hear beating
Can’t stop believing
Gotta keep on breathing
I’ve had it… a long time
Dog gone it… this habit of mine
I’ve had it… a long time
Can’t stop the bleeding
Need to keep on eating
I’m still conceding
Gotta keep on breathing
I’ve had it… a long time
Dog gone it… this habit of mine
I’ve had it… a long time
Can’t go any farther
Gimmie some water
Without impeding
My need for breathing
Got any air over there?

LYRICS
Before the sun’s
Done the day’s run
Come spend some time
In the shine
The way of the ray
By the guiding light
Tomorrow’s foresight
Hey, hey, hey
Making the best of got
Can not cannot (can not)
On the way to the top
Thanks a lot
(Please don’t stop)
Before the sun’s
Done the day’s run
Come spend some time
In the shine
The way of the ray
By the guiding light
Tomorrow’s foresight
Hey, hey, hey
Taking the least I can
Giving it back again
Find humane human
Is the plan
(Lend a hand)

Why put up a fight?

Why be so uptight?

On the truth shine the light
Being the guiding delight
Flack is flack
Plight is plight
Consider putting it right
Flack is flack
Plight is plight
Consider setting it right
Fact is fact
Right is right
On the truth shine the light
Being the guiding delight

LYRICS
In your mind
Do the math
It will work out fine
Find the path
In your mind
It will work out fine
But a fraction of your time
For satisfaction of your “mine”
It will all add up
(In the end it will all add up)
In your mind
Do the math
It will work out fine
Find the path
In your mind
It will work out fine
To equate a fair rate
Subtract out fate
We’ll never give up
(In the end it will all add up)
In your mind
Do the math
It will work out fine
Find the path
In your mind
It will work out fine
Indivisible
We retain able
Until our time is up
(In the end it will all add up)

LYRICS
The way they’re calling up their military
First to admit it’s getting scary
Recruiters in the jail
Offering free sail
Don’t read what you sign
Headed for the front line
The way they’re calling up the military
We all admit we’re getting weary
Far away foreign land
No need to understand
Sing on the dotted line
… headed for the front line
The way they’re calling up the military
Do we have to watch their Hari-kari
Once retired, now rehired
Nationalist conspire
No problem, I’ll sign
Send me to the front line
A song about The War in Ukraine

LYRICS
Thought I’d seen it all
Except the fall
Don’t look now
No more left to see
Fulfilled destiny
Don’t look now
Don’t look now
But the devil’s in the detail
If you row
Odds are you’ll fail
Thought I’d seen it all
Except the fall
Don’t look now
No more left to see
Fulfilled destiny
Don’t look now
Don’t look now
But the devil’s in the detail
’bout your bow
Did it already sail?
Thought I’d seen it all
Except the fall
Don’t look now
No more left to see
Fulfilled destiny
Don’t look now
Don’t look now
But the devil’s in the detail
And somehow
Embedded in our tale

LYRICS
Been looking up
Been looking down
Been looking all around (and round and round)
And what I’ve found
Found abound
Found can be found
Everywhere
Everywhere, I swear
Find found anywhere
Look… you don’t have to stare
Been listening up
Been listening down
Been listening all around (and round and round)
And what I’ve found
Sounds abound
Sound can be found
Everywhere
Everywhere, I swear
Find sound anywhere
Listen… to become aware

LYRICS
Why are you moaning
You didn’t even try
Guess I’ll be going
See ya later… bye-bye
… by the way
Better say
Enough to make a grown man cry
You’re enough to make a grown man cry
Look what you’re doing
Want us all to die
Guess we’ll all be going
See ya later… bye-bye
… by the way
Better say
Enough to make a grown man cry
You’re enough to make a grown man cry
What are you doing
Why not give it a try
Life’s still ensuing
If ya wanna get by
… by the way
Better say
Enough to make a grown man cry
You’re enough to make a grown man cry

LYRICS
I got the rock bottom blues
When the fishes are swimming above you
Guess there’s not much you can do
Rock bottom
Rock bottom
Rock bottom blues
When you see seaweed
Where it’s suppose to be blue
Guess there’s not much you can do
Rock bottom
Rock bottom
Rock bottom blues
Everybody ’rounds ‘lil crabby today
Say, “Hard to go below
Where the fish droppings go”
That’s why I say that I am
Rock bottom

LYRICS
Have you ever been
Swimming in the ocean
In a pool
In a school
Somehow seeming to know
How to go with the flow
A sixth sense
Of the essence
In the present
Expecting how it will go
In the flow
Imagine riding on a dragonfly
I just saw two passing by
Thinking of their point-of-view
Flying high to kiss the sky
Can you imagine, too?
A sixth sense
Of the essence
In the present
Expecting how it will go
In the flow

LYRICS
Feels so good
Now that I see sky
See clear sky again
Now that I can
For so long
Wished I could
The song was foreign
And….
Feels so good
Now that I see sky
One thing’s for sure
Long as I can
I’ll be back for more
What ails, it’ll cure
Long as there’s Man
Blue skies like before

LYRICS
The pain
The strain
The joy of love
No give
All take
Pain of heartbreak
A little bit of your soul
Put it in your rock-n-roll
All of it
Every bit
Time to walk the walk
Put all your stock
Into your rock
Let your soul roll
All pain
No gain
The strain of love
Forsake
the waste
Leaves a bad taste
A little bit of your soul
Put it in your rock-n-roll
All of it
Every bit
Time to walk the walk
Put all your stock
Into your rock
Let your soul roll
Oh, reign
The love
Rain from above
Rain down
The sound
Pour it around
A little bit of your soul
Put it in your rock-n-roll
All of it
Every bit
Time to walk the walk
Put all your stock
Into your rock
Let your soul roll
