Taking walking
To the other side
Ain’t got no ride?
Taking walking
To the other side
Going near far-out
Watch out!
We don’t collide
Taking walking
To the other side

LYRICS
Here I sing
Not missing a thing
Nothing
Not anything
Here I sing
Not missing a thing
Hey everybody
Anybody
What did you bring
Come on
Bring it on
We’ve got a jam upon us
I must confess
A jam upon us
It’s a fine line
Between this
And mess
I’ve got my eye
My I’s
I’s in my eyes
I’ve heard it said
I’ve got eyes on the back of my head

LYRICS
Insurmountable task
I don’t know how to ask
Dare I take the chance
Ans ask you to dance
Does it have to lead to romance
Is my mind the kind
That concedes
To wants and needs
Lord, help me please
I’m falling, falling, fall…
After all

LYRICS
As we’re whirling…
As we’re spinning around
I’m having trouble telling
Which way is up
Which way is down?
Every year
I travel around the sun
And just for fun
I turn around
Once a day
And after light
Once at night
Along the way….

LYRICS
If the Earth is flat
How long would that be
From end to The End
How long would that have been
Treading in thick logic
Wading in sick logic
Quick
If you went splat
On an Earth that’s flat
Where would that be at
Would you, too, be
Two dimensional
Or does your rational
Already escape me
You were tow dimensional all
Along… just wasting my song
With sick logic

LYRICS
They’ll say what they may
For today
But as day two get’s underway
Watch the sweater fray
Skating on thin ice
Might wanna think twice
As the cracks appear
As will your fear?
Let them say what they may
May I make my way
With insight in sight

LYRICS
What good’s
Last man standing
Left standing
All alone
If you ask me
I’d rather be
Understanding
Being prone
Watch the underdog
Turn to superman
Lift the fog
So man can
Helping meek and weak
Understand
And, ….

LYRICS
As I’m watching time
Pass into the past
I’m thinking
It’s a shame life doesn’t last
But then I pause…
And think again
Maybe it’s worth rememberin’
Better take it all in
While I can
As I’m wondering if future
Is going to show
I’m thinking
It’s a shame I don’t know
But then I pause…
And think again
Maybe it’s worth rememberin’
Better take it all in
While I can
There’s nothing like being human
(say it again)

LYRICS
Are you my Frankenstein
Doctor of my creation kind?
Brought me too life
And I’m feeling fine
Did you create a monster
Are you sure
You put love in my heart
Right from the start
Did you create a monster
And how far
Out-of-reach
Do you think you are?
You forgot that part?
Putting love in my heart
Did you forget that part
Putting love in my heart
