LYRICS
If at first you don’t succeed
Then try and try again
Won’t be long to begin to see
How everyone will win
Now, don’t let some ‘ole remote
Go and get your goat
Keep discipline from turning rote
Let your heart and soul vote
Keep your feelings alive
The more and more you strive
Keep your feeling alive

If we improve attitude
Cutting back on lewd and crude
We might find that being kind
Isn’t so out of mind
I know that excessive braggin’
Causes falling from horse and/or wagon
So, I dust self off and climb back on
Hope I learned my lesson
Keeping feelings alive
The more and more I strive

LYRICS
A karmic lesson in good intention
A cosmic lesson in good intention
A deja vu do-si-do
A round-trip ticket to get in The Know
Here we go!
Being self-aware?
We’re already passed there
We’re talking sixth sense
Shared consciousness
Here we go… get in The Know
Transcending physics
With the power that’s music’s
Involuntary share
Approaching unconditional care
Can your hear… we’re getting near
Hope you id doesn’t care being left behind
All you need for this trip is a kind mind
Superego let go of what id did
Beyond what the ego does know
Into a meta-physical miracle

LYRICS
With the stroke of a brush, you paint a picture
Of an image in your mind’s eye that is pure
With the stroke of a brush, you paint a picture
By a steady hand… true and sure
With the stroke of charcoal you sketch a picture
Of a picture in you mind’s eye that is clear
To stroke the guitar is a pleasure
Create a picture for all to hear
The artist is a shapeshifter
Soul soothing uplifter
Sculpting scenes ’til emotions intension [sic]
Belief suspension

LYRICS
A snake charming hippie with his hair cut long
Tried to claim he knew the song
Couldn’t really help being wrong
’cause I make them up as I go along
All of us in an extemporaneous
Experiment
I think he got what I meant

A voodoo princess said she can’t miss this
As we stood, staring over the precipice
An impromptu voodoo rendezvous
In the groove move prove the hypothesis
(can’t miss this precipice)
All of us in an extemporaneous
Experiment
I think she got what I meant

An angel of mercy appeared in the choir
As trumpets rang out for the town crier
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! — royal decree
You create heaven on Earth, if you desire
All of us in an extemporaneous
Experiment
I think he got what I meant

LYRICS
Watching civilization turn to was
The Man want to live free
Without the right of responsibility
Not own-up to his society
Waiting for all to fall… inevitably
The Man rides off into battle
Leaving a bride in need of a rattle
It’s hard to ride high in the saddle
Knowing no one ever wins at war
For sure… no more… no never ever more
When The Man returns from battle
There are no tales to tattle
Now his time stops his clocks
Shoes and socks horizontal in a box

LYRICS
Your teddy bear
Is coming apart at the seams
More than I can bear
Watching you unravel at the seems
See what childhood dreams mean
When you are the queen of the scene
See what childhood dreams mean
When you get to know the star of the show
Let’s make those dreams come true for you
A stitch in time saves yours and mine
Sowing up the seams, sowing up the seems…
Until we’ve restored childhood dreams
With teddy bear we’ll share a new heart
Cinnamon candy comes in handy for a start
Sowing up the seams, sowing up the seems…
Until we’ve restored childhood dreams
Your special teddy bear we can repair
We can fix any rip or any tear
Sowing up the seams, sowing up the seems…
Until we’ve restored childhood dreams
None the worse for the wear
Love,
Your Teddy Bear

LYRICS
Lord, they say my days are numbered
Though I love each and every as my own
I must admit some are more preferred
From my heart and to the bone:
Thank you for spending a beautiful day
Wouldn’t rather have spent it any other way

On the days I have to walk this Earth
Try to carry my soul from my day of birth
Doing my best to the day I rest
For the day sacrificed to the quest:
Thank you for spending it this way
Wouldn’t rather have spent it any other day

Yes, thank you for this beautiful day
Sure glad you didn’t save it for a rainy day
Really, thank you! Wouldn’t want it any other way
So, I pray, and I pray:
Thank you for spending a beautiful day
Wouldn’t rather have spent it any other way

LYRICS
The music’s on the pier
The time is growing near
Check? Check! Double check… soundcheck
Backstage pass in the grass
Scent of Mother Nature fills the air
It’s everywhere
All to the festival
Say, “Holiday!”
(All in all festival)
They’ll show you the ways to the best of days
When the band starts to play
Your troubles melt away
All the kids having fun watching girls dancing in the sun
Raise your hand if you understand
Raise your hand! Be counted
Raise your hand! Be heard
Raise your hand! Be anointed
Raise your hand! Spread the word
1, 2, 3 for glory
Aware on the Delaware
What did Delaware?
A New Jersey

LYRICS
Though the power of thunder is very frightening
A sour comparison to the bolt of lightning
Drop and roll! You’re on fire!
Rock and roll! You’re desire!

In the time it takes for the sound to roll ’round
I’ll be found belly-up on the ground
You’re deadly. A true knockout
Storming beauty… what nature’s about
Your biology as meteorology

1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi, 5 Mississippi, 6 Mississippi
1 mile all the while I die
1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi, 5 Mississippi, 6 Mississippi
Lordy me! More in the package than meets the eye
Iceberg tip… let ‘er rip
