LYRICS
Are you feelin’ alien?
I’ve been told
It’s out of this world
Bold
To go where no man has gone before
You’re in store
To become folklore
Go, go, go
To the space show

Are you feelin’ alien?
Are you feelin’ alien, again?
Did you go
To the space show
I’ve been told
It’s out of this world
Better than gold
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 Blast off!

Why don’t you come back to Earth
Since you’ve been given this birth
You might as well take advantage of your age
Earth Age daydream
Might as well age
While you can get old
On this world
I’ve been told
Being earthling is the best thing
Earthling is the best thing to bring

Are you feelin’ alien?
Are you feelin’ alien, again… and again?
Come back down to Earth
Experience God given birth

LYRICS
I went shopping at the human bazaar
How far, human bizarre?

They were selling their garages
They were selling their fleas
Selling anything that they please

Selling a mirage
Selling a disease
Selling anything that they please

Selling a barrage
Of their sleaze
Selling anything that they please

LYRICS
Live from KingArthur.com with an important public service announcement:

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of you fine citizens out there in TV-land…
Don’t forget to tip the bartender
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses

I’d like to tip the waitresses
… I’d like to tip the waitresseses
For making us tipsy
A tip for making us tipsy

If you just showed up
Raise a cup
Here’s what’s up
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses
A tip for getting us tipsy

Now, I think I’ll walk home….
Maybe… if it’s not an inconvenience I’ll just sleep on your couch. I could sleep on the floor… you don’t need to worry… I’ll lock the door… on my out.
I could lock up?

Raise a cup
A tip to the waitresses

Don’t forget the bartender
Yeah, that’s a hard job… listening to all of our wine… ya know… we go into such detail… blah, blah, blah….

I don’t know
How can that be a UFO
The object does fly
I can’t identify

Angel’s song sung

My tongue
Can’t get out of the way
Of my words
What I’m trying to say
Upon swords
Souls fray

LYRICS
Going to go stand in the sun’s glow
Let the glow flow to the beat
From my head to my feet
Let the glow flow from head to toe
Under the skin from within feel the heat

Feed the soul on the shine of the divine
Devour life whole
A soup thick with music
Ripe with the sweet nectar of the guitar

Now the task to bask some in the sun
With a glance to those who dance

Shake your head
Get the dust our of bed
Shed your troubles
Pray it doubles

When you dance
There’s a chance
We will glance
A glimpse of reality

When you dance
There’s a chance
Non-circumstance
Is sur-reality

Is it just me
Or is it getting weird out there
All I can see
Helps me be aware

Not to be feared
But it is weird

The grill is getting hot
We can strike the right chord
Be in the scene… why not?

LYRICS
We fail to see
Flight MH370
Lost to the sea
Or totally cut free?

Maybe abducted by aliens
To be converted from homo sapiens
No longer human beings
They’ve been clipped of their wings

The astral choir sings:
Fly through the sky
Don’t think to sink
Fly, fly, fly

What will the debris field yield?
Is there a conspiracy to conceal?
How can this be for real?
Will love ones be able to deal?

LYRICS
Seeing life through a kaleidoscope
While riding a calliope
No naysayers. Nope.
Just the uplift of what a heart can see

Will you grab brass rings… one, two, three?
Through the kaleidoscope, I see there’s plenty
Ya, ya, ya, it’s our lucky day
Let the calliope music play

The horse goes up and down
As we spin around
In a happy whirl
Wearing heart-on-sleeve
It’s easy to believe
Successive overlapping layers form a pearl
Grasping brass rings
We see the alchemy of turning brass to gold
As the future of our generation is told (Unfold)
And, to calliope music everyone sings

LYRICS
Run, rabbit, run
The fox does trot
Man on horse, man on foot

The animals dance
Bunny Hug
Foxtrot
Animal romance
Cut the rug
Make it hot
Animals dance

ABOUT THIS SONG

The foxtrot is a smooth, progressive dance characterized by long, continuous flowing movements across the dance floor. It is danced to big band (usually vocal) music. The dance is similar in its look to a waltz, although the rhythm is in a 4/4 time signature instead of 3/4. Developed in the 1910s, the foxtrot reached its height of popularity in the 1930s, and remains practiced today.

The Castles introduced what they then called the “Bunny Hug” in a magazine article. Shortly after, they went abroad and, in mid-ocean, sent a wireless to the magazine to change the name of the dance from “Bunny Hug” to the “Foxtrot.”[

LYRICS
Say, let’s Merengue all day!
Hold me
In a closed position
Squeeze me
With affection
Merengue all day!

All day and all night
Your dance is never trite
All day and all night
Your dance… out of sight…
Dynamite
Alright
All right
Hold me tight!

ABOUT THIS SONG

Merengue (/məˈrɛŋɡeɪ/) is a style of Dominican music and dance. Partners hold each other in a closed position. The leader holds the follower’s waist with the leader’s right hand, while holding the follower’s right hand with the leader’s left hand at the follower’s eye level. The first person to dance the Merengue was a 10 year old girl named Lismary Calderon. Partners bend their knees slightly left and right, thus making the hips move left and right. The hips of the leader and follower move in the same direction throughout the song. Partners may walk sideways or circle each other, in small steps. They can switch to an open position and do separate turns without letting go each other’s hands or releasing one hand. During these turns they may twist and tie their handhold into intricate pretzels. Other choreographies are possible. — Wikipedia

Cumbia here
Hear
Cumbia hear, my Lord!

Someone’s dancing, my Lord
Cumbia hear
Someone’s jigging
Someone’s jamming
In the name of love
No push. No shove.
Just jamming
In the name of love
Butterfly kiss
Kid’s glove
Just jamming
In the name of love
When necessary
Sting like a bee
Floating, floating, floating like a butterfly

ABOUT THIS SONG

Cumbia is a music genre popular throughout Latin America. The Cumbia originated in Colombia’s Caribbean coastal region and Panama, from the musical and cultural fusion of Native Colombians and Panamanians, slaves brought from Africa, and the Spanish during colonial times in the old country of Pocabuy, which is located in Colombia’s Momposina Depression and in the northeast of Panama, in the ancient palenques of the Congo nation. — Wikipedia
