LYRICS
Pull away
Look down on the day
You’ll see
Things are looking up
Hurray!
Looking up
Looking down
You’ll find it easy to say
Love is all around
Things are looking up
Happy day!

Woo woo… last call for the last train
All aboard ‘less you’re the new strange

LYRICS
What if your life were a game show
Now, you’re in jeopardy
What if you just don’t know
Or at least… can’t see
You can be free… totally
The inevitability
Of sanity
Revealing reality
For you to see

LYRICS
I worked so hard for my money
Since stolen by the anti-honey
I watched Mama stealing candy
From my baby
Is there an excuse? No way!
Not maybe
What kind of person would do that
Unkind of person just like that
What kind of mother would do that
Unkind sort just like that
Unfit? More than just a bit.
Crazy. Lazy.
Forever to remain insane
Criminally insane refrain
Stealing Candy From-A Baby.mp3

LYRICS
Living each day
In the fullest way
Trying to make reason
As I rhyme
After pain and suffering
Comes the joy of relief
There’ a new season
A new time
The insane rebuffing
Proves my belief
There’ a new season
A new time
Friends may come
And, friends may go
But there’s one thing that I know
You’ll be there ’till the end
Then, backstage after the show
Friends may come
And, friends may go
But there’s one thing that I know
Love is the message that we send
Be ye friend or be ye foe?

LYRICS
It’s been real
But, I’ll see you later (later)
Time to feel
Best is better (better)
’cause I booked a trip
And, I’m flying on Astral Airlines
A pleasant jaunt
With no penalties or fines
If you want to… bring your baggage
You’ll welcome to bring it along
But, it will be less savage
If you just pack your heart with a song

HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR PART
LYRICS
I’m looking into you
Want to find out your point-of-view
I want to know everything you do
You seem to be the police of the world
You seem to be the boss of told
You seem to be an illustrator of disaster
Who do you think you are
You went to far
You are an impersonator
Who do you think you are…
God?
Or an impersonator
Wearing funny clothes
Some sort-of uniform
Cause you want to swarm
With your hate and evilness
You’re not at home with peace
Not in the least
I’m looking into you

LYRICS
If you’re so bold
The truth be told
You never do walk alone
Though I’m walking
Through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil
I know you will
Do more than walk the talk
When it comes to wrath
You are with me
Your rod and staff
Comfort me
Your rod and staff
Set me free
You never walk alone

LYRICS
Do you want to hear something really weird?
There’s a lady with a beard
A blockhead pounding nails in his nose
Do you think he knows?
This is a sideshow
Looks like we’re part of the sideshow
Do you want to see something really strange?
How life gets rearranged
Sideshow
Some kind of sideshow
Do you want to hear something really weird?
There’s a lady with a beard
And, it’s as scary as you feared
They’ve got Siamese twins
And, a lady who ain’t too thin
Good news is…
Everyone can win
“Everyone’s a winner!
Step right up
Step right this way”
Sideshow
Sneak a peak at a freak
Do you want to hear something really weird?
All those things you thought you held dear
Are fleeting
There ain’t no beating
That Grim Reaper
So while you’ve got your life
Be a keeper
Want to see something really strange
See how your life gets rearranged
First you’re young
Then you’re old
Then you remember what people told
With age comes wisdom
Experience
And, you’ve seen this sideshow
Nothing to surprise you now
Unless somehow
You revert back to your childhood
And, you can gain that innocence
As part of your presence
Do you want to hear something really weird?
You can gain that essence as part of your presence (presents)
Want to Hear Something Weird? .mp3

LYRICS
The wind
Whips and winds through the branches
To be on its way
The light of day
Moving like a wave
Moving like a particle
Some would say
It’s like a miracle
The water
Floats down stream
Leaving the rocks in between
And, the current
Can’t quite be seen
But, it’s moving through too
As it’s passing through the stones
Of the riverbed
If you listened real closely
You would’ve heard it said
It’s most peculiar
The mysteries of nature
For sure
Leave me in wonder

Lu ugh ugh key
You call this lucky?
I call it skill
Hang around and you’ll see
It ain’t that long until
Trouble finds me
You call this wacky
I call it skill
Hang around and you’ll see
I’ll play guitar until
Blood’s dripping from me
Instrumental
You call this lucky?
I call it skill
Hang around and you’ll see
It ain’t that long until
Trouble finds me
