LYRICS
Verify I am I
Who are you?
An eye for an eye
A tooth for a tooth
On the right route
Enroute of roots
In the folly of do or die

LYRICS
Lost in thought
Soul’s been bought
Shout out “Pick-up the pieces!”
Miracle that never ceases
Brought on thought
Bought and sold
Story’s old
Shout out “Pick-up the pieces!”
Miracle that never ceases
Brought on thought
Wisdom sought
Not or ought
Shout out “Pick-up the pieces!”
Miracle that never ceases
Brought on thought

LYRICS
Do you think it’s the Gaelic in him
That posses him to jig?
A dash of Irish
Knew hymn
More or less roots dig
Trace it back through the saints
All day through the knights
If the veils too faint
Head to the light
Do you think it’s the Gaelic in him
That posses him to jig?
A dash of Irish
Knew hymn
More or less roots dig
The origins of the land
Come to understand
The age of romance
With “the dance”

LYRICS
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Drying on my face… more tears flow
Odds are low at coming to know
Destined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds
Flying in the face of reality
At odds with rationality
Determined to define difficulty
Flying by the season of reason
There is no time for reason or rhyme
Destined to define non-conformity
On a tangent
Out of bounds
Running rampant
Alarm sounds

LYRICS
Standing round the wishing well
Show and tell
Tell me what you’re wishing for
Tell me more
Are you wishing for the poor
That there’ll be poor no more?
Standing round the wishing well
Show and tell
Tell me what you’re wishing for
Are you wishing “end the gore”
That there’ll be war no more?
Lord, do tell
Standing round the wishing well
Show and tell
Tell me what you’re wishing for
Do you wish peace will endure
That there’ll be no more war?
All is well

LYRICS
I heard the report
Day late and dollar short
Forgot to deal with the trash
Now there’s nowhere to stash
In case it’s not crystal clear
There’s no moving way from here
The solution to pollution
Is in the humane of the human
I heard the report
Breath as a last resort
Beasts have fouled the air
Don’t inhale out there
In case it’s not crystal clear
There’s no moving way from here
The solution to pollution
Is in the humane of the human
I heard the report
The ball is in our court
Not too late to confess
And clean up the mess
In case it’s not crystal clear
There’s no moving way from here
The solution to pollution
Is in the humane of the human
A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment

LYRICS
Am I listening to what I’m hearing
Through the covering is the sound clearing
Or is it left all alone
Stuck inside the bone
Vibrating the skull of the dull
Am I listening to what I’m hearing
Through the covering is the sound clearing
I guess that it’s up to me
To see to set it free
Penetrating the skull of the dull
Am I listening to what I’m hearing
Through the covering is the sound clearing
Vibrating past the bone
Trying to make it home
To retain in the membrane

LYRICS
Geese upon the pond
The temperature went real low
Probably don’t want to know
Are you sure?
The water started to freeze
While fast asleep the geese
Didn’t wake up in time
Didn’t work out just fine
The temperature went so low
Hated to come to know
The goose was footloose

LYRICS
Look at you
The things you do
Just look at you
The way you come through
Just look at you
Cohesion… our glue
Just look at you
Look at you
The things you do
Just look at you
Our new point-of-view
Just look at you
Love through and through
Just look at you
Look at you
The things you do
Just look at you
A heart pure and true
Just look at you
Joy that’s overdue
Just look at you

LYRICS
The problem with a couple
Wher4e you run into trouble
The problem with a couple
You’ve only two
(Limiting what you can do)
But much of the time
It works just fine
You can’t lose
With a pair of shoes
A pair of glasses
Also passes
Burt if you ask me
For several
Need at least three
The problem with a couple
Wher4e you run into trouble
The problem with a couple
You’ve only two
(Limiting what you can do)
But much of the time
It works just fine
Gotta love
A pair of gloves
Can’t compare
to a matching pair
Burt if you ask me
For several
Need at least three

LYRICS
Are things changing
The ways before
Are now no more
Are they rearranging
The ways before
Are now no more
The more things change
The less remains
The more things change
The more remains
Are you changing
The ways you were
Are you engaging
The ways before
Are now no more
The more things change
The less remains
The more things change
The more remains

LYRICS
The knights mount up
Their colors blowing in the wind
Beast upon beast
Riding into The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse
The nights lit up
The colors glowing from what’s been
Bombardment meant
Bringing on The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse
They can’t give up
Their colors running with the blood
Belly of the beast
Always wins in The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse

LYRICS
Clear these thoughts from your head
No matter what
You’re not better off dead
The motion of you notion
Drives the strive
[em jam]
Clear those thoughts that you dread
No matter what
You’re not better off dead
Recall the though you hear said
You’re not better off dead
The motion of you notion
Drives the strive

LYRICS
Please stop the world
From going round
I’d like to get off
’til common sense is found
There’s a firesale
On old growth timber
The odds we’ll sustain
Are growing slimmer
Will we ever learn
We get what we earn
Given — you were born
Until the time we mourn
Make it what we will
Make it while there’s still
Please stop the world
From going round
I’d like to get off
’til common sense is found
There’s a firesale
On old growth timber
The odds we’ll sustain
Are growing slimmer
Pooping in our drinking water
Sacrificing both son and daughter
Will we ever learn
We get what we earn
Given — you were born
Until the time we mourn
Make it what we will
Make it while there’s still
Please stop the world
From going round
I’d like to get off
’til common sense is found
There’s a firesale
On old growth timber
The odds we’ll sustain
Are growing slimmer
Pooping in our drinking water
Sacrificing both son and daughter
Will we ever learn
We get what we earn
Given — you were born
Until the time we mourn
Make it what we will
Make it while there’s still

LYRICS
The sum of 1 and 1 is 2
The same with me and you, too
And then some
Our sum
The sum of 2 and 2 is 4
As for me and you, even more
And then some
Our sum
The sum of 3 and 4 is 7
As for me and you in heaven
And then some
Our sum
