LYRICS
Heading faster toward disaster
Wanna be lemmings jumping off a cliff myth
Going out in flames
Making boisterous claims

Have you heard of the herd
You know… buffalo… noooo… whoa
Going up in flames
Making boisterous claims

There’s a tale of a beached whale
Ohhhh… how it makes me wail
Going out in flames
Making boisterous claims

Heading faster and faster and faster
Toward disaster

LYRICS
Where are you going to
Where are you coming from
Are you true blue
Or filled with rhetoric and… come
How come?

Have you been…
Are you dumbed and numbed
Dumb and numb
Doubled down on the dumb
Dumbeder

Socially void and annoyed
Dumb and numb
How come

You shot your load now your mind’s gonna explode

bookmark_borderCloser To Nearer

LYRICS
How I wish you were nearer
To help me think a little clearer
Now phased, dazed and confuse
Mind tattered, battered and bruised
How I wish you were nearer
To help me think a little clearer
Brain tazed, razed, lobotomized
Mind scattered, shattered, compromised

The comfort you bring
Is so comforting
Hear angels sing
Here angels sing

The energy that has become me
Sounds bizarre but it’s from that star

LYRICS
Can we build a better mouse trap than that
More like a rat
In a maze
Amazed

Lost in a maze for days
Pondering… wondering
What the heck are we doing?

While we’re here living
What in the heaven are we doing
Or well…
Are we creating our hell?

LYRICS
The dark of night
Gets coated in white
Covered like a blanket
Coming down… down blanket
Comforter
Will you comfort her?

Black of night
Covered in white

Turns the bright on the night
I can see
Intensity
It’s coming down
Like a blanket
It’s coming down
Coming down
Cover it
Thick and deep

It’s coming down
Thick and deep
Let’s hope our lives… we can keep

bookmark_borderBlizzard

LYRICS
Soundcheck — “Blizzard”

Starts off with… talking about a lizard
A lizard blizzard

Lizard
Lizard grew
Lizard grew and grows and grew and grows into a dragon
Zilla God Zilla God Zilla Godzilla
King of the lizard

There was a squall
This squall said after all
I want to be tall
I want to be a tall
I want to be a tall tale
(tail of the wind… tale of the wind… )
I want to be the king of the storms
I want to blow hard
And not be a blowhard
The king of the storm
Cause to raise the alarm

King of the storm
The blizzard

The 100 year blizzard
A 500 year blizzard
The king of the storm
Enough to cause alarm
A state of emergency
See! Emergency!

The storm of the dragon
Blizzard
The king of the storm
As is the king of the lizard
The king of the storm
Blizzard

Sustained wind(s)
Blowin’
Visibility — snowblind
Visibility zero
Temperature subzero
(Climate unkind)
King of the storm
Blizzard
The blizzard

(I beg for some milk and an egg… I beg)

bookmark_borderStripped Down

LYRICS
Stripped down
To the lean and clean

Gonna strip down
To the lean and clean

See what I can gleam
From the glistening (The Electric Slugs leave trails that are glistening)
Stripped down
(listening to the sound around)

interlude

Stripped down
Taking off those dirty clothes
Off that dirty robe
Disrobe and get clean
Gonna stand under that water flow and get to know
Stripped down
Stripped down
Down, down, down

(solo)

Stripped down

Gonna let that water flow, ya know?
Gonna get to know that water flow
Making me so clean
Let the water rain over me
Let the water reign over me
Gonna feel so clean

(bass jam of the subwoofer dub stepped dance-able)

Under the water flow you get to know
What it feels to be clean
Like… squeaky clean, I mean

Under the water flow
Under that flow
You get to know
What if feels to be clean
Like lean n’ clean

(post interlude / bass override / guitar solo overkill)

LYRICS
Let’s have some phunwitit?
Hey! What do you say
Can we have some phunwitit?

How about we quit?
Quit the reaper habit
Instead, let’s have some phunwitit
If we use our head
Instead
We use our head
And, have some phunwitit

[space interlude having fun with the sound]

Why so grim, Grim?
Why so grim, Grim Reaper?
Don’t want to be like him
Grim Reaper
Talk about a creeper
Want to quit that reaper habit
I want to…
Don’t you want to, too
Quit that… that reaper habit
(Gonna have some fun with it)

[space interlude having fun with the sound and dance]

I thought you said, “We were going to have some phunwitit?”
Maybe I missed that part
Unless you consider that art?

[space interlude having fun it]

Let’s have some fun with it?

I like your backing vocals
And the dancing girls
That’s what I call having some phunwitit
Let’s have some phunwitit
And… I like the way ya’ll got off your seat
And… off your feat and on your feet on your seat
You’re feet on the defeat of the seat
You had some phunwitit?
You had some phunwitit!
Yean, let’s have some fun with it

bookmark_borderCaught Up

LYRICS
I wouldn’t get caught-up in all of that
Tangled up in a knot
I’d rather not
No, I don’t really want to get caught-up in all of that
I hope to know when to let go of the millstone
(Do you have a millstone around your neck
What the heck?
Too aloof to take it off)
I don’t have to sit all high and mighty on my throne
If my ankle gets tangled up in the anchor’s chain
I’d rather refrain
From getting caught-up in all that
Rather stay a rocker than in Davey Jone’s Locker

No, I don’t really want to get caught-up in all of that
End up as some splat
I’m not into a tit-for-tat
No, I don’t really want to get caught-up in all of that
End up a splat
I have fears
Of a little loose clothing getting into the gears
Before I know what
I’m caught-up in all that
… I’ve the feelin’ it’s real beat to be mincemeat
I’d rather stay a rocker and keep the beat
Then, ending up being mincemeat
(What would my fans think at a meet and great?)

You know, this guy ain’t chopped liver!
I’ve got a life to live of being a giver
Thus, my reluctance to get caught-up in all that
In that hypocrite fat cat spat shat
(That’s it! The hypocrite fat cat spat shat… I don’t want to get caught-up in all that)
If it’s alright with you, I’d like to find out about gracefully “bowing out”

(Oh! That’s what that is — hypocrite fat cat spat shat. I don’t want to get caught-up in all that.)

LYRICS
I think I’ll go catch me a comet
Wanna come get it?

I’ve got a comet by the tail
But, I can’t wail
There’s no sound found in space
But, at least, there’s no friction upon my face

I’ve got a comet by the tail
I just wish I could wail
Ride ’em cowboy
Express your joy
But, I can’t wail
In space
But, at least, there’s no friction upon my face
There’s no sound to be found
In outer space
