LYRICS
It’s dawning on me
That it’s sunset at Fest
May I suggest
You take a look n’ see

Come on in here
Learn n’ love… hunker
At Bob’s Country Bunker
Enjoy the atmosphere
Memories to hold dear

It’s dawning on me
That it’s sunset at Fest
May I suggest
You hold it dearly

What?
Up from Who Hill
At the Azzoles?
Keep going still…
Just past the Roost… Until
You get a Stage Trip that’ll fulfill

LYRICS
What’s up?
I wouldn’t take long

’cause long ain’t what we got
Your time is running short
… or, have you forgot
Ashes to ashes… return to dirt

What’s up?
I wouldn’t take long

Since your time is getting cut short
Try ‘en let it out as one long blurt
… or, make ’em tingle with a lil’ jingle
… move ’em along with an uplifting song

What’s up?
I wouldn’t take long

LYRICS
Here they come
Where will they fall
Deaf or dumb
Will they hear the call?

The harder they come
The harder their fall
The bigger they come
The bigger their fall

One by one
No matter how tall
No feeling… they’re numb
Did their brains all stall?

The bigger they come
The harder they fall
The bigger they come
The harder their fall

LYRICS
I suppose if this is the calm before the storm
I should take refuge and heed the warn
If things go helter skelter
Do you want to live in a bomb shelter?

Enough picking have and have nots
Enough debating whys and why nots
Lets get getting while the going is good
Livin’ in the moment… just a bit
Never the regret of would, could, should
(no would of, could of, should of’s)

LYRICS
You got your eye on me?
Hoping you can see that we can be
And, live happily
Everafter

Have you ever seen such a crazy scene?
Have you ever heard a song so absurd?
Feel free to join in
… with a hop, skip and a grin
Once you start it’s easy to begin

LYRICS
We’re moving… moving into the light
It feels right
We’re moving… moving into the light
It’s alright

No sense trying to fight the fight
Why go to war against war
No sense trying to slight with might
Might just find Self dead on the floor
Might as well banish all the blight
Can’t imagine life as a bore
Making others’ days bright with insight
Taking off on a spiritual tour

LYRICS
If we all stand and dance
We might all stand a chance

You might think you can sit in your seat
And, dance
Well, if you do
And, you can sit and through a fit
That’s you
But, if we all stand and dance
We might stand a chance

As the times get tougher and tougher and rougher and rougher
You might even call it ugly
There’s a light you can see
Come with me
And, make me we
We’ll dance
Because if we all stand and dance
We might stand a chance

Dance is a spiritual romance
It can take us higher
Love is in the dance
There’s romance in the dance
If we all stand and dance
We might stand a chance

We can get together with our energy
And, you and me become we

We’ve only got so much time on this Earth
From when you’re dead
Back to the time of your birth
If you want to make those days pay
And, be on your merry way
If we all stand and dance
We might all stand a chance

What do you say we pick this up a little bit maestro?

(up the tempo)
