LYRICS
Might make you tall
Might make you small
… likely do nothing at all
Bouncing off the looking glass
Watch your life pass (fast outlast)
There is no error
Reflection in the mirror
It’s just the verse
In reverse
Looking toward backward

Might make you fat
Or short and squat
What?
Likely just the fact
If you drop and shatter
Does matter
7 years of bad luck
Responsibility duck
It’s all in you hands
Who truly understands

LYRICS
Is you core
Like Earth’s core
Is your heart dense, cold, hard
Or is it molten and meltin’
Cold with the feel of steel
Dense, hard, cold
Growing old
Done all your feeling and feltin’
Or belt down… bowed down… kneltin’
Humblin’ human
Aspiring
Before I’m dyin’
Aspiring
To obtain less vain
Ego crumblin’ more humblin’
n’ put sanity into my humanity
Eyeing I’ing
Can eye see me
Eying I’ing
At my core
Is there more
Hope it doesn’t take all my transpiring
Eyeing I’ing

LYRICS
What is meant by experiment?
ExperiMental
Good for mental health
Experi-mental
Good for social wealth
ExperiMental
Mental that is meant for all
If you don’t know
Dip in your toe
Give it a test
So you can figure the rest
Don’t be shy
Give ‘er a try
I’m not going to lie
We are all going to die
The trick is to experiment with it
Before you get too sick
Not knowing “why”
Before you die
Got to know why
Before I die
Got to know why
Before you die
Got to know why
Before we die

LYRICS
Smooth slick
Watch you don’t slip
Smooth slick
Watch you don’t trip

Smooth, slick… black ice and thick
Which ways (weighs) more: a pound of feathers or a pound of brick
Smooth, slick polished surface
No friction… not a trace
Smooth slick
An object in motion is a trick
Smooth slick
No way to stop it
Smooth slick
Throw a tantrum. Throw a fit
No way to stop it
A little too late? By a bit
Smooth slick
Hope you don’t get motion sick

Looks like we’re taking our slide
Far and wide
See you the other side

Smooth slick
Watch you don’t slip
Smooth slick
Watch you don’t trip
Break a hip. Bust a lip
Smooth slick

LYRICS
The more that I learn
I learn the that I know
With knowledge you earn
The wisdom to grow
The that I learn
The more I don’t know
If there’s a stern
Need a bow to row?

If you don’t know starboard
How can you know your port
Don’t be the man overboard
If you’re not the aquatic sort
Aft daft?

If you wanna take a peek
n’ head up $hit creek
Better master the paddle
Before you get back in the saddle
Aft daft?!?!?!
Awkward if you paddled ass backward
Worse rattle — forget your paddle
Aft daft?!?!?!

LYRICS
Cloud came down
To surround
All around
The cog didn’t recognize
The cog didn’t realize
Cog in a fog
In the mist-like dream
A pawn in the machine

See the light?
Have to fight
‘ta keep upright
I did not recognize
I did not realize
Surrounded by fog
In the mist-like dream
A pawn in the machine
Still the will — checkmate the King
Never too late to do something
Take responsibility for my being

LYRICS
Don’t know if I’ve tried everything lucid
No, don’t know if I did
Super ego, ego and id
Living in their own world… splendid
Or, splendor… elevator to grandeur
Starts at the ground floor
That is for sure
Better save your soul
For your body will not endure
Talkin’bout life’s goal
Save my soul

Don’t know if life is but a dream
The surreal scene that I gleam
Too many sad folk or so it would seem
Are earthlings all on the same team?
Seems that the plant, elephant and ant
In harmony, they chant
So who’s to say we can’t
Earthlings sing… sing earthling!
Don’t know if life is but a dream
Drifting, drifting… floating upstream

LYRICS
Dropping bombs
Blowin’ up babies
Filling tombs
With young ladies
We’d like to reconcile-ate
For our rape and our hate
What can we do for you
Reconciliation
For our damn nation… damnation
What do you say
How can we repay
You lost your tooth? Truth?
Teeth?
… in disbelief
The truth of tooth for a tooth
Or an I for an I
Did it cost you and arm and a leg
Can we compensate you with a peg?
What is the cost of your loss?
What is the cost of your lost?

This is about Donald Trump’s ban on Muslim’s. Legal residents of the USA are not allowed to renter the country if they are from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. In how many of these countries has the United States try to inflict regime change and invoke civil wars? The U.S. should take in 100% of refugees from countries whose governments we have overthrown.

LYRICS
(prelude: I Meant Prelude.mp3)
The meaning is in you
Don’t let it elude you
There’s plenty you can do
To pull it through

(song: I Meant….mp3)
The answer is in you
Don’t let it elude you

The answer is in you
Don’t let it elude you
There’s plenty to do
To pull it through

Sitting in plain view
Right before you
All you need do
Is take in the view

The answers within you
Can come out
You just need believe… without a doubt

Look in your heart for a clue
The answer is within you
Look in your heart for a clue
The answer is within you

Bring the answer out
Without a doubt
It’s within you

With the eye of I
See…
With the eye of I
See what we can be
The answer is within you
Plenty to do
To bring it through

The meaning’s within you
Don’t let it elude you
There’s plenty you can do
To pull it through

What was was
And it was is before is was was
What is what it was going to be
I think that’s what I’m trying to see, clearly

Is
What was going to be
Is
Well if it is is it will be was
Well if it is is it’s going to be was
Do I got that right?

What is turns to was
What was once was is
First the potentiality to be
Is
Then, it was
’cause nothing lasts forever
Except for never and ever

Gonna wail…
My tale of getting a little tail

Hailing Haley’s Comet
Eta Aquarids did
Get me a little tail
She’ll never fail
Like a shooting star
A tale bizarre

Dusty debris
Rains down on me
Insight into the night light

Get it?
Tail of a comet
Get it?
Tale of a comet

LYRICS
No matter what might happen
Man just carries on
Keeps carrying on and on and on

Call it cuckoo extincting the cuckoo
I know about me… don’t know about you
Do you call that cuckoo, too?

Not to mention we’ve been told
We’re melting ice millions of ears old
A provocation action… rather bold

No matter what might happen
Man just carries on
Keeps carrying on and on and on

We sunk California more than 40 feet deep
But, I’ve yet to hear anyone make a peep
Man is the world’s predator creep

Polluting the land, air and sea
As long as the consequences don’t bother me
What do you mean “we’ll have to wait and see”?

Children going from crying
To drop dead dying
Why aren’t we even trying

No matter what might happen
Man just carries on
Keeps carrying on and on and on
