LYRICS
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my destiny
To clearly see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow the star

No gold, frankincense or myrrh
Who could ask for more
Though I’m not a wealthy king
In the heart, all of my love I bring

How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my odyssey
To finally see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow the star
(chorus)

LYRICS
Is it up… to the little things
To trip you…

Time is due
Time is now
Spent went
Somehow got to be now
Obstinate to obstacles
Laugh if it tickles
Hammered to sickles

LYRICS
So far
It just gets more bizarre
You’re not kidding
The proof is in the pudding
A fact’s a fact
And that’s that
Once it’s gone
Can’t get it back
The fool lost his cool
Misplaced his mental tool
Now, it’s starting to dawn
Everybody keep your calm
The longer you grow old
The less thought is bold

LYRICS
I’m more like you
You know it’s true
More like you
Not a matter of “want to”
Though bizarre
We are
At the core
Omnivore
Eat, the heart beats
(Eat the heartbeat)
As for love, true
Through and through
Not just animal
Both mammal
Hair and teats
Deeds and feats

LYRICS
Found the Czar of Bizarre
Driving by in a car
So I thought they’re put
When one comes by on foot
No matter where you are
Nearer by far

Found the Czar of Bizarre
Riding by on a bike
Call a ball or strike
Out by far far out
No matter where you are
Nearer by far

Found the Czar of Bizarre
Standing right with me
Tell me could it be
(Is it a possibility?)
I’m not far from czar
No matter where you are
Nearer by far
Queerer the star
Above subpar
Nearer by far

LYRICS
We see the leaf leaves the tree
I mean extreme weather spills blood
About the drought…
Then…
Another flood
And, yet, so far…
You don’t find it bizarre?

It’s hard to avoid Mr. Floyd
Sold his guitar…
For charity…
For clarity
Heartfelt
Meant for the environment
And, yet, so far…
You don’t find it bizarre?

The dog sled running out of ice bed
Fan the flames of the wildfire
Dow we have a higher desire?
And, yet, so far…
You don’t find it bizarre?

Not less surprising
The sea level’s rising
You know “tornado”
… hurricane’s insane
With pollution so thick
It’s making you sick
Enter your head: “We’re almost dead!”
And, yet, so far…
You don’t find it bizarre?

LYRICS
The fear of fear
Phobiaphobia
Does it get ya
Is it near
Have I realized
I’m paralyzed
Out on the ledge
Overlooking the edge
Get a grip
Stiff upper lip
The fear of fear
Phobiaphobia
Encyclopedia
Of the queer
Out on the ledge
Overlooking the edge

The more I know
The more I know the less I know
Have know fear
Of the unknown
Cover blown
Out of the closet
Out of the dark
Moves the farthest
Beyond
Embark

LYRICS
Sometimes you’ve got to wonder
Purposeful blunder?
But, why “on God’s green Earth”
would the idea be given birth?
Strange days indeed
Self-inflicted bleed
Derange strays to impede
So conflicted plead
Secede
Let us leave
Let us be
Can’t you see the need?

LYRICS
Amazingly interesting
Doing the same old thing
Abstaining from ubiquity
In favor of obscurity
The fruit is ripe
Upon the vine
If you’re going to pick it
Now’s the time
Lived up to the hype
Turned on the love spigot
Spilling the wine
To a nursery rhyme

Unbrazenly interjecting
Inherent… I’m speculating
Heavenly subsistence
A lovingly influence

LYRICS
Wipe that smile right of my face?
Imply I lace disgrace
Upon the entire human race
At least a taste of grace?
(In our space)
Seems this deems the high beams
Where you’re throwing shadows
We’re casting light
Now we just might
Brighten the tomorrows
Might shine the light
(sigh) I’m on high!
Be a saint and paint a smile
Make it wide… a country mile
Steaming and beaming from ear-to-ear
Lighting up everything far and near
Absurd actions speak louder than your word
Then, which is mightier… pen or sword?
No matter how you slice and dice
We’d all be better off thinking twice

LYRICS
Inspire
You inspire me
Higher
You’re taking me
To a strange familiar place
Out of range at home base
Not a trace

Transpire
A higher me
On fire
Feel heat in me
In a strange familiar place
Out of range at home base
Not a trace

Aspire
To inspire you
Live wire
Connection true
To a strange familiar place
Out of range at home base
Not a trace

LYRICS
Do you find it a little bizarre
Traveled too far from are
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

Till will stands still
When turns to been
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

Should of would could
Then can done did
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

Glad to have had
The tune of soon
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

Think that thank thunk
Can I think again
Is was the were
Past becomes a blur
Trying to make sense of the tense

LYRICS
For just a sample
It’s finger lickin’ good
Sure hope there’s ample
To do what we should
Scoff, when the shine wears off
Whine, when we’re out of time
No! For a change something strange
Let’s take this sample recipe
And see what can be
If it’s that friggin’ good
Let it be said
We did what we could
When put to bed
We would do what we should
Less dumb… fingers with opposing thumb
Lickin’ good

LYRICS
The rain is poundin’ down again
Doesn’t it seem bizarre
Where do you think we are?
The rain is pourin’ in again
Doesn’t it seem bizarre
Where do you think we are?

Always after the flood
UP to my ass in mud
Stuck trying to understand
Reigning over the land

The wind is wailing in again
The wind whipping eye/I again

The sky is crying once again
The wind is howling hard again

LYRICS
I forgot what I was going to say
Think it had something to do with today?

Trying to say
In a simple way
Tip of the tongue
Then, gone away

No regret if nothing’s said
Take it to the grave… subject dead
Wait! Don’t let me hesitate
’cause I hate “too late”
Dang! Forgot again
What a sin

Like I was going to say
Before it got away…
… I’m trying to say…
Parapraxis is
