LYRICS
The cat is out of the bag
Can’t afford a time lag
What do you say
No time delay

The cat is out of the bag
Can’t afford a time lag
Gotta search far and wide
Gotta turn the tide

No time like the present
Make yourself present in the present
Before your past goes passed

LYRICS
Take a ride on the slide
Bring your inside
Down to Earth
For what it’s worth

No sense trying to hide the inside
Let your inside out
Let everyone know everywhere
What you’re all about

You’ve got nothing to hide
Let your inside…
Out
Let the whole world know what you’re about

Let your inside slide
Let it out
You can find out what you’re all about

LYRICS
Big Brother comin’? Is he approachin’?
Arrival fear? He’s already here
Every time you go by there’s an eye-in-the-sky

A camouflaged idea… in your diarrhea
Did you think you could smell through your stink?
Every time you go by there’s an eye-in-the-sky

Birdie, birdie in the sky
Why did you do that in my eye

LYRICS
Just when you thought your were gonna make a change
The whole world has become rearranged
Rearrange
[can’t just sit there and mumble and grumble]

Just when you thought your were gonna make a change
The whole world has become rearranged
Everything has ended up strange
Do you even know if it’s in your range
In your reign
It’s in your reign
It’s in your range

It just might start
Within your heart
Baby
Maybe
It’s time to start aiming for the heart
Maybe, baby?

LYRICS
No you can’t dismiss
Where ya gonna run at a time like this?
If it comes down to just one wish
(and granted that wish probably won’t be granted)
Where ya gonna run at a time like this

Outside? Inside?
If the outside is inside?

Is your basement your first floor
Where is your front door
When the water is bargin’ in
Where to begin

When the message you… I… we… send
Is gonna bring on The End

I shouldn’t complain about bringing on The End
I should HAVE complained about bringing on The End

LYRICS
Are we just scratching the surface
Or, are we already in too deep?

If we could only let the knowledge seep
Into our heart
Into our mind
Into our soul
Maybe we could cut down on the human toll
I don’t want to be the troll of your body
But it’s easy see
But if that’s what you’re calling me

Are we just scratching the surface
Are we in too deep

I believe the temperature is rising
It’s really not surprising
Not the slightest bit
Now it won’t quit
Need more proof
It’s going through the roof

The only problem… our race can’t adapt to living in space
’cause we trashed this place

LYRICS
An eerie irk in the air….

Some sort of system quirk
Eerie irk

What on Earth could it be?
It terrifies me
It’s scarin’ me

There’s an eerie irk
And, it’s penetrating me
Can’t let it get the best of me

Can’t let it get the best of me
I can see my way clear
Don’t look back
Don’t smirk
Just get away from that eerie irk

There’s an eerie are in the air
Eerie irk
Gotta quit

Ya, now that I think about it
I’m gonna quit
That eerie irk

LYRICS
At night you can see the light
Coming down the track
Better move back

’cause that’s an impressive locomotive
Impressive loco motive
Better move back
Coming down the track

If you go head-to-head with a loco motive
You’d better use your brain when it comes to the train (of thought)
Better move back

The train will squash your brain
You’d better move back

Head on to the battle field

Pay up you due tax
On your illegal yield

Your fate will be doomed

LYRICS
Seriously? Conspiracy theory?

It’s kind-of pungent
To be that ignorant
One thinks it stinks

Seriously? Really seriously?
Your conspiracy theory
So silly
You must be kiddin’ me
Seriously? Conspiracy theory?

Why chemtrails in the sky
Why 9/11… some divine heaven
Why vaccination intimidation

Silly. Seriously conspiracy theory?

Do you like the controversy
When you distort the story
Or is really just pungence
From ignorance
One thinks it stinks!

LYRICS
If we pick our battles like we pick our nose
Who knows where that goes

Ya might start to run
Ya might start to bleed
It’s no fun
Having to concede

Have we slipped into a rabbit hole
New Age mole… through the looking glass
Does time move pass n’ weigh too fast
Does too fast turn to wayback past

Chorus

While we have hands to have tome on our hands
Time to let loose on the command and command understand

Laying Down The Lord.mp3

A wise friend once explained to me: in Hebrew the word “Lord” means “the Law”. The Law is: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

LYRICS
I find it hard to be
Believe
Be leave
Believe
Three kings would come to see
The birth of me
Once more… bearing “Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh”

Poor ole Pa didn’t get to poke Ma
Didn’t even get to poke Ma
Poor ole Pa

Not like I could invent “The Rule”
I’m just a fool
If you treat others like they treat you
We’ll get through
See the heavenly view?

It’s why I find it hard to be
Believe
To Believe
Believe!
Three kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
Of the likes of me

The first time ya feel all alone
When they drive the nail through the flesh and bone
Drives the point home
They drive the point home

I… I… I’d been crucified
I’d been crucified
At first I thought I’d died
Turns out… I reside
I reside
In the house of the holy Lord
In the house of the holy Mother
The holy ghost
Hope to die

I had to try
I couldn’t give up and die
Had to try

Yet, still
The freewill
Of the three kings
I just couldn’t believe
Three kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
Amazing
Three kings

I can’t tell a lie
That’s why
I try
Try, try, try
To do unto others
As I’d have ’em do to I

I try to keep in eye
As I’d have ’em do to I

LYRICS
If I might
I’d like to thank God for sight
All the beautiful colors

And, well
I’d like to thank ’em for smell as well
Ahhh the ahhhroma
Aroma
Ahhhhh

And, I can caress your neck with touch
I like that much

All the beautiful colors
colOURs
While others may have their druthers
I’d like to thank you for the beautiful colors

I’ll never let your taste go to waste

And, it’s clear
Clear to me
When I hear your voice
I’m going to live as long as it’s my choice

So, if i might
I’d like to thank you for sight
The beautiful colors
All the beautiful colors
So, if others have their druthers
I suggest
Tell them to rest
Until they discover the beautiful colors
All the beautiful colOURs

What’s your color?

So, if I might
I’d to thank God for sight
So, I can take in
I can begin
To fathom the beautiful colors
All the beautiful colOURs

LYRICS
Why did you have to slap me in the face
I thought I was already awake

If you’re not sure, you could have some… anything… that wouldn’t leave a trace
But, why did you have to slap me in the face
I thought I was already awake

Is it part of some sadistical ritual
Why? Why I?

There’s only so much a guy can take
If a fellow is already awake

Why did you slap me in the face
Trying to put me in my place

I was already awake
I thought I was already awake
How much convincing will it take?
