LYRICS
Ya know…
Seems the wind and the snow
Got into a rift
If ya catch my drift

Fast, furious, swift
If you catch my drift

Blowin’ higher
Goin’ higher
Gettin’ dire
Startin’ to irk my ire
If ya catch my dirft

Seems the snow, ya know
Got into it… a rift… a drift
Adrift in a drift

I see society adrift
In their rift
They say they pray for a shift
Adrift in the rift
Of the drift

LYRICS
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Wasn’t looking for trouble
It sounds like trouble
Hate to burst your bubble

It ain’t that novel
Now I gotta shovel
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Don’t want to grovel from the curse of the devil

It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Scrapping the knuckle
Bustin’ a muscle
Taking a pummel in this struggle
Ain’t no subtle shovel
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep
Getting deep, deep, deep….

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

[Far outer space interlude]

bookmark_borderNavigate

LYRICS
I can’t wait to navigate space

I hope I see my exit before it’s too late
I can’t wait
To navigate
Space
Head at a steady rate
At any rate, going straight

How do I slow down
When there’s no friction around
None to be found
I hope I see my exit
That’s it
Before it’s too late

I can’t wait
To navigate
Some grand prix race in outer space
Through the galaxies
Heavenly fantasies
In our race through space

On my way through the Milky Way
I’ll search for intelligence
If I can just converge
(maybe some will emerge)
I heard them say
There’s none in the Milky Way
You’ve got to go further out
In outer space
If there’s any trace
Of intelligence
Or just allegiance to ignorance

LYRICS
Time is starting to slide faster a way
Day by day by day
As we collide on the ride
Spacetime continuum I know I am

Take a stroll through a wormhole

Ride the time slide
Come on and ride
Slide, slide, slide
Take a space stroll
Through a time wormhole

Once you’re sucked in
There’s only one way to win
Ride the slide
Take a stroll through the wormhole

bookmark_borderUp On The Rooftop

LYRICS
[knock, knock]
I swore I heard a knock at the door
When I went to explore
I found they were no more
There was no body
Nobody was there

It was the strangest thing
I heard the doorbell ring
Thought maybe it was some carolers coming to sing
The strangest thing
When I answered the door
They were no more
There was no body there
Nobody

[knock, knock]
Who is it?

Up on the rooftop
Most baffling
Hearing the strangest thing
Like 8 little reindeer hoof
When I say little… they weren’t really that little… but compared to the roof
8 reindeer hoofs… 8 x 4… maybe even more
If ya count the one rednosed one
So I arose
Trying to be on my toes
I suppose…
Out of curiosity
I had to see
If there was anybody there
Some body
Somebody
Coming down the chimney
I had to see
’cause I’d heard
It was a tradition
And, I was just itching
To find out if this tradition was just fiction
Or, if there was just a sliver of truth
Because if it could be true for me
Maybe it could be true for you, too
So I had to see what this clutter was… this clutter of clatter
If it ’twas the spirit of Christmas
Is that no body somebody
Hard to put my finger on it
This Christmas spirit
But, I tell ya I hear it
Up on the rooftop
Yes, I suppose when I arose
I just had to look in the right place
If I wanted to see the Christmas spirit’s face
It was right in front of me the whole time
And, here I am searching high and low
At least now I know

Up on the rooftop
Why not?

LYRICS
I’ve been wandering
Wondering as I’m wandering
Out on the range
Isn’t life strange

I hope I’m not walking
I hope I’m not talking
In circles
I’d feel like such a circle-jerk
That just won’t work

I’ve been wandering
Wondering as I’m wandering
Out on the range
Isn’t life strange
Let’s begin to soak it in
It doesn’t matter where you begin
Soak it in

Show me my inside
Please show me inside

Well, that’s it! You took me for a trip

And, we’ll try to spark
After dark, put it in park
