LYRICS
We’re really not that far
Bizarre bazaar
Sideshow for sale
Bizarre bazaar
Save an epic fail
Account for what we are
Two I’s with two eyes
I see two I’s are we
Together you and me — we

We’re really not that far
Bizarre bazaar
Cause the wail of the whale
Seal the fate of the seal
Account for our big deal
Save an epic fail
Account for what we are
Two I’s with two eyes
I see two I’s are we
Together you and me — we

LYRICS
An earthquake near
Eruption far
Acts of God
Are so bizarre
Our so bizarre
Ever so odd
When lightning strikes
It is the time
Where lightning strikes
It is the place
Now I know I’m
Part of the human race
RUN!

(starting to dawn the race is on)

Extreme weather fear
I don’t endear
At least it’s clear
I’ve made it this far
Acts of God
Are so bizarre
Our so bizarre
Ever so odd

LYRICS
Down the slide
Another ride
And why not
… to the top!
Look around
Slide back down

Merry-go-round
Circles found
A life’s cycle
Turn around
And rebound

Just how far
On monkey bars
A bizarre
Among the stars
Reach The End
Do it again

Be quite sure
Of the metaphor
The playground
We have found
Is the instance
Of existence

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Though bizarre by far
You can’t make this stuff up
When you see
The extent of the irony
You’ll say,
No way?!?!?!
That’s too funny

When you take the fun out of humor
Well, it’s just not that funny any more
When you take the laugh out of laughter
… can’t take the joke any further/farther

I learned soon…
Like a lead balloon
But of course…
I had to beat a dead horse

In need of more humor

Truth stranger than fiction
Reality contradiction
When you see the extent of hypocrisy
You’ll say,
No way?!?!?!
That’s too funny

LYRICS
Wonder what’s in the rabbit hole?
Should I be the mole?
Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
Is the goal to find my toll

Pass through the looking glass
Slide to the other side
Here’s not always what it appears
We’re in for a ride

Wonder what is in the rabbit whole?
Do you think the kitchen sink
Wonder what is in the rabbit whole?
Is it in the water that we drink

Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
Wonder if it’s wonderful
Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
The mirror of my soul?

LYRICS
Though this might be one strange trip
Please don’t give up upon the ship
… don’t give up the ship
I mean… what the heck?
All hands on deck
All feet on the floor
It’s time to dance some more

Mind take flight
Gain insight
Hearts delight
King in sight

As you may go on your way
They say “don’t forget to play”
No matter how strange of a trip
Please don’t give up the ship

Mind take flight
Gain insight
Hearts delight
King in sight

LYRICS
They come from the far left
The omniscient best
They come from the far right
When wrong they fight
Where the middle of the road
Must carry the load
Beyond bizarre
That far?
Might as well be from Madagascar

Do the Republican Can-can dance
Everyone can drop their pants
Do the Foxtrot with the Democrat
Everyone smells like a rat
Stand back!
The pot calling the kettle black
Pound fist!
Racists race to call racists racist
Beyond bizarre
That far?
Might as well be from Madagascar

LYRICS
What about your peculiar
Find a stranger strange
When normal, you rearrange
Do you know who you are?
You don’t have to search far
Frequent a bizarre bazaar

Find it a little unusual
Oh, my God! It’s so odd
Too askew for you
Think it’s all abnormal?
You don’t have to search far
Frequent a bizarre bazaar

Are you indifferent to the different
Tame the lame ’till it’s all the same
Tried to warn the monotony of lukewarm
Can’t you see the beauty of variety?
You don’t have to search far
Frequent a bizarre bazaar

LYRICS
Amiss
Ajar
The happiness bazaar
A kiss
Not far
Happiness is bizarre

Takin’ you in
Again and again
Puttin’ me out
Without doubt
When did we really begin?

The day I met you I was four
Couldn’t imagine any more
A half century to endure
Until the chance to adore

Forever gone is before
Penetrating to the core
Facts are facts… can’t ignore
You and I forevermore

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you falling faster than a shooting star
Do you find your circumstance too bizarre
Are you calling out faster than ever before
“I didn’t mean to step in it any more”

Karma found
What’s going round
Is coming round
Is going round
What’s coming round
Karma bound

Is the tide rising faster than you can endure
Drifting further and further from the shore
Sanity falling faster… no insanity cure
Slipping further and further from the sure

Chorus

Are you sinking faster into the quicksand
Have you lost your facilities? Have you lost command?
Are you slipping faster… have you lost your grip
Under the Chinese water torture… drip, drip, drip

Chorus

LYRICS
You can get up if you’re down
On your feet and runnin’ round
Days too short to abort
Feet are prancing. Spirits dancing.

You can get up if you’re down
On your feet and runnin’ round
Don’t resort to selling short
Hearts romancing. Our souls dancing.

You can get up if you’re down
On your feet and runnin’ round
Put a smile on a baby’s face
Until the world is our dancing space

LYRICS
Can we build a better mouse trap than that
More like a rat
In a maze
Amazed

Lost in a maze for days
Pondering… wondering
What the heck are we doing?

While we’re here living
What in the heaven are we doing
Or well…
Are we creating our hell?

LYRICS
It’s true
The things you do you do

It’s true
The things you do you do
You do the things you do
You do

Is it true you do the things you do
Is it true to you
Is it true the things you do you do to you
Is it true the things you do you are
Maybe it’s time to get bizarre
Out of your straight-jacket
Self-imposed rat race racket

Down to Earth
With this birth
Coming down to Earth
For the basic birth
Guess I’ll see is in me
’cause what I do I do
It’s true
I guess I’ll see what’s in me
’cause I am as I do
Guess I’ll see inside of me
They say it’s true
It’s true for you
What you do you do
Is it true for you?
You do what you do view
You do what you do
Is a reflection of you
