LYRICS
I heard a rumor about our existence
Well, in essence
Is it true what they say about you
You are going to do… and so am I

When you’re dead
And gone from this place
Outta this place
Well, do you think it’s cold in outer space?

I feel so at home
I feel so warm
Can you tell
Is it warm in outer space
Or will it be cold as hell?

LYRICS
Fell under some God spell

Must have fallen under some God spell
Some awful God spell
Some God awful God spell

The gospel shuffle
You’ve got the gospel hustle

Got the gospel shuffle
Something awful

Trying to re-arrange reality
With your “me, me, me”

Is it the gospel shuffle
Or is it the gospel hustle
Can’t recreate history
By putting King James on some dead tree
Try and claim the Pope hasn’t been a dope
The Crusades where we invade
Pulling the shade
We’ve been pulling the shade
Putting us in the dark
Then, wonder why the dog will bark

Yeah, beat your pans
Clank your spoons
Gotta do something soon
To wake-up
Make a clatter
Make some chatter
About the noise

Gypsy Controversy.mp3

LYRICS
It seems there is some sort-of gypsy controversy
Hypocrisy
Prejudice-ness
What do you think right and wrong just moves around like a nomad?
Well, you’ve been had

Do you come from a different place
Do you think you’re a different race
Then, you have claimed superiority
Like you’re the supreme being
Claim their inferiority
And you’re the supreme being

Do you even know what hypocrisy means
Talk about the evolution of beings
Do you even know what it means
Before you go there
You better get it
You better understand
The lay of the land

Gypsy controversy

If anything you’ve been tricked on brains
When they where passing out brains
You thought they said trains
You said, “I’ve already got on up in the attic
It goes round and round and round”
Better check the lost-and-found

There’s a gypsy controversy
Is coming into view
Because not everybody is exactly like you

Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.

Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.
Ya know it’s a must
To dust
We all fall down
What carnation will you be
For your re-incarnation
Do you have a notion
Of what you’ll be
Will you be Stardust?

Stardust
From whence you came you go

Live on! Never rust!

ABOUT THE SONG
It is about the murder of a Philadelphia artist and musician, Miriam Irene Shelow (aka Starr). The background photo is from the Hubble telescope capturing the furthest human’s have ever seen into space. Some people believe we come from stardust. Some people believe we return to stardust. In Starr’s case, she gained her nickname from being living stardust. Oh, yeah… the animation at the end is NASA’s depiction of the “Big Bang” (also known as the theory to how got here — stardust.)

LYRICS

Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?

The saddest thing I’ve ever seen…
Is Shoudy sailing in a U-haul truck
What the %uck?
Life gets obscene
Know what I mean?

Don’t hesitate
Before it’s too late
Tempt fate
Go irate
Set ’em straight

Come on back, Jack!
The best crib to ad-lib
Music, dancin’ shakin’ the shack

Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got

LYRICS
How can we be totally free if we destroy our destiny?

Can you see through the tree
’cause it’s bothering me
Hopin’ it’s just temporary
’cause how can we be free… totally free… if we destroy destiny?

Can you see through the tree
’cause it’s bothering me
It’s coming to me clearly
If we can see through the tree, we’re destroying our destiny
Can’t be free if we destroy destiny

Sylvania can it be we’re in atrophy
I appear to be alone in knowing the causes of ozone
When you’re driving a car burning ethanol, you’re not burning it all
Blowing holes through trees
’till it dies… it ceases and you can see through to the sky
When the leaves cease
Makes me wonder how we can ever be free if we destroy our destiny

ABOUT THE SONG

Here it comes!
Add up the sum of the sum of the sums
Here it comes

Here it comes!
It comes
Will come like a drip, drip, drip
To the tick, tick, tick-tock
Of the clock
Will it walk the walk
Just talk the talk
Talk the walk walk the talk?

Well, do you know
Will it flow
Will it usher in the gusher?
Here it comes!

Here it comes!

Will it rush right out
We’ll we find out
When it’s not quite
It won’t quit
Will it just keep coming like a comet
Through the atmosphere
Do we have something to fear?
’cause here it comes!

Here it comes!

Hope it’s bringing fun
And, then some
’cause there’s nowhere to run
Here it comes!
Like the light of the sun
I yearn that it won’t burn
I am hoping that it will shine so fine
Like a light divine

Here it comes!

Gonna usher in the gusher
Gonna know the flow
It’s about
It’s about to spout
It’s about to spout out
Here it comes!

LYRICS
Mother Nature is getting her act together
Looks like we’re in for some extreme weather
Better batten down the hatches
Check the locks and check the latches
The clouds foreshadowing doom
‘less corrective action is taken soon

Better of not fooling with Mother Nature
Just another man-made folly for sure
Amaze with a haze… the lines we blur
Bringing on the rapture is no cure
The clouds foreshadowing doom
‘less corrective action is taken soon

We had better think twice ’bout being nice
Skating on thin ice won’t suffice
Deadline is upon us… time to pay the price
Stork of midnight. Coach to pumpkin. Horses to mice.
The clouds foreshadowing doom
‘less corrective action is taken soon

The tautology of you and me
That which must be, must be
Give-up the attack on fact
Look for worth in truth

Can’t be forgot
I am, or I am not
One certainly must be

ABOUT THE SONG

A tautology is a statement that is necessarily true, true by definition, and true under any conditions. A tautology is a repetition of the meaning of a statement, using different words or symbols. According to Ayer, the statements of logic and mathematics are tautologies.
