LYRICS
Where do you find beauty?
Is it in your comfort?
If you seek you must confront,
The demons in your body

Chorus
What the heck…
I see it in the crape of your neck
Down the small of your back
… and back
Are you sensitive behind your knee
… let’s see
Can I find your soul
In your sole?

Bathing in the light
Basking at the sight
How do I find beauty
Let me count the ways
With this view that I see
We could be here for days

Chorus

LYRICS
If ever there was a time
For a sure thing
This would be the time
To bring
Make it yours
Make it mine
’cause this is a time for a sure thing

I’d like to take the time to say
This is a good day

If ever there was a time
For a sure thing
Let’s see what we can bring

Let’s get it on
Let’s have begun

Let’s bring everything

If we can raise praise…
Please may we raise the praise

Now, give it up

Give it up
Give it over to the sure
I can see what She can bring
I can see… eternity
I can see we can be

Bring on the sure thing

bookmark_borderAfter You

LYRICS
I’m coming at you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming at you with repentance

Sure, someday you’ll pay
But, it doesn’t have to be my way
I’m more than happy

The future’s your own destiny
It’s not up to me
Choose your own destiny

I’m coming at you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming at you with repentance

There’s no need to be defensive
This is all meant for our own good
If we would have just done what we could
Then we wouldn’t be in the dilemma
A little more Dalai Lama
A little less crusade
Would bring the aid

I’m coming after you
%$#* the vengeance
I’m coming after you with repentance

Every life comes to an end
Will your soul ascend…
On Judgement Day
When justice comes your way

I’m coming after you
There’s not much you can do
I’m diligent
Not violent
Gotta get the repentance through

Oncoming Traffic.mp3

LYRICS
If your ball should roll out onto the road
Before you run out, watch for the oncoming load

When you run out into traffic
It could end up tragic
Not the story you want told
“Tragic.. died before he was old.”

Wonder who built the roads anyway?
Now they just seem in the way
Of our progress in being a civilized civilization
On that superhighway of life
A bug’s life is strife
Being shattered on the windshield
’cause that oncoming load would not yield

My life became a mess
My innards on the interstate

Stop. Look. And, listen.

Before you run out on the road, look out for that oncoming load

Oh, %^&*!
Here comes a truck
Do you know if I can duck?

With a giant leap of faith we can overcome that oncoming freight

The only thing I’ve got to say…

All night and day
I have to sit and listen to what you say

Do you call for the fall?

LYRICS
Said, the cat to the mouse,
“The race is on”
You know the race is on
Run!

The race is on

You know the race is on
When you hear the starting gun
The race is on
It’s time to run

Said, the dog to the cat,
“The race is on…
Didn’t you hear the starting gun?
Come on and run ’cause the race is on”

You know the race is on
When you hear the starting gun
Come on and run

Don’t hesitate as we commence the chase

Said, the spider to the fly,
“The race is on…
Go on and run,
The sticky web that I weave
Makes it hard to leave.”

Come on the race is on

1, 2… 1, 2 ready go

They’re off!
The race is on

You better run
Before the setting sun

Didn’t you hear the starting gun?
It’s in my heart to give you a little head start

bookmark_borderAnd We All Bleed

LYRICS
Prelude (recorded in the soundcheck)
What if I’ve just been the victim of the world’s greatest con
What if I’m just a victim of everything that’s gone wrong
And, we all bleed
When one of us is bleeding, we concede to bleed.

The Song
Have I just been the victim of the world’s greatest con?
All these people and politicians tell me nothing’s gone wrong?
That’s the wrong song!

Try to convince me
We’re not responsible?
Yes, you try to convince me
That we’re not responsible?
That’s most irresponsible

We’re responsible for all this trash
We’re responsible for all this mess
We’re responsible for all pollution
We’re responsible for institution
De-civilization

Maybe it’s time
We woke up and smell the coffee
Can you smell the coffee
Or, is it just me?

We’ve all got something wrong going on
Well, folks…
Look behind that curtain
It’s a hoax
The Wizard is you
Now, what’cha gonna do?

Have we just victimized ourselves of the greatest con
It’s all around
How it went wrong is now in song

Is it just me or do we have to take responsibility?

And We All Bleed.mp3

Relevant

Relevant
As an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop

It’s time to be big
Big… bigger than this
Bigger than this
A luscious kiss
Able to transcend
Again and again

Time to get relevant
Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop

Relevant

Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop
Irreverent in a reverent way
Instead of gone astray
We can band together
As a band
Not, necessarily hand-in-hand
(Staying unique)

Coming relevant
Like an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop!

The police, like lice, will get in your hair
The police, like lice, are everywhere

Suppose to be a social servant
Suppose to be a civil servant
But, you’re neither civil nor serving
No, you don’t know how to be civil or serve

Causing me to flee
Bugging me out
The police, like lice
All these lice and flees
They’re bugging me out
I can’t scratch enough
They’re so &%$damn tough

The police, like lice, will get in your hair
The police, like lice, are everywhere

Police
Mean
Scream, “We need help!”

Hello, 911
I’m being assaulted by an officer of the law
He’s out of line
He’s out of bounds
He’s an outlaw

Assault
Kidnapping
Being restrained against my will
Bring on more trouble, still

Let’s hide our pride
Instead of being proud
Let’s get loud

Can you feel it?
Can you hear it?

If you listen with your heart
You can start to take part
Are you listening?

Wisdom and knowledge glistening
With the power of know
You can go

LYRICS
Got to try to get the knot out of whatnot
Got to try to untangle the mess
Got to try to straighten out the situation
Before we go into critical realization

Got to get the know out of whatnot
Before we’re dead, buried and forgot
Got to try to untangle this mess
Got to get the knot out of whatnot
Got to get the not out of whatnot

Got to see… maybe if we clear the debris
Maybe we can grasp the notion
Rise up above the commotion

Let’s get things in motion
Quit searching for a magic potion
There’s no need to cross the ocean
Again and again and again
No need to climb a mountain

Forget about never
We’ll stick together
Forget about forever
We’re right now
Somehow
We’re going to rise above the commotion
Get a grasp of the notion
We can create a motion
We can untangle this mess, I confess
Get the knot out of whatnot
Get the not out of whatnot

Take a look over there
Take a listen here
With a sound crystal clear
Among friends held dear

Dance is natural
It’ll make you bop and sock-hop
It’ll make you twirl
Music is magical
It’ll make you stop the stop
And, start to feel special

It’ll become your favorite spot
Make you feel comfortable being hot
When you play a song you’re beautiful
When you dance along your unbelievable
Let it be told — sold on out-of-this-world
Why not?
