LYRICS
Seen so many people
Livin’ in-daze

Seen so many people
Too many people
Loosing their days
In a haze
Loosing their days

Livin’ in-daze

Seen so many people
Too many people
Livin’ in-daze

Wastin’ way
In the days

Too many people

LYRICS
On a perfect purple velvet moonlit night
Perfect night for insight

In the light
The light shines on
On insight
I can see
What I can be
I can see
What can be
I can see me be

On a perfect purple velvet moonlit night
Moonlit velvet
Moonlit night
Shining down insight
There’s a glow
In the glow there’s a flow
The know

LYRICS
Wish I could take it back
That attack
Take it all back
But it slipped right through
There was nothing I could do
It slipped right through
Through my fingers

Took me for a sucker
Some kind-of ringer
Slipped right through my finger…s

My grasp
Couldn’t last
It didn’t last
It slipped right through
There was nothing I could do

I’m thinking I need some better fingers
Better than these butterfingers
Some better butterfingers

For goodness
Forgiveness
Restore the happiness
Substitution for these butterfingers
A reconstitution of better fingers

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

LYRICS
I am alive!

I’m alive
Come to life

I think I will arrive
I’m alive
I’ve arrived
In this place in space
Given birth on Earth

I’m alive
So happy to arrive
Given birth on Earth
I don’t mind havin’ a mind
At all

Not sad
Quite glad
You are here, too
You, too
Given birth on Earth
So glad you’re alive
And we can arrive
We have arrived
Given birth on Earth

So glad
No reason to be sad
’cause I’m alive
Think I can arrive
Given birth on Earth
