Should I be surprised
Or previously realized
Well rounded
In dumbfounded
Should I be surprised
Or previously realized
Making me tense
In the past tense

LYRICS
Judging by the flow of the go
Must know something
I don’t know
Just in time
To get in line
Participate
In hurry up and wait
Will you take the cue
To add hast to what you do
Hurry up… hurry up and queue
It would be simply lovely of you
Fat cat caught in the rat race
Got caught with egg on his face
Revolutionary turning sedimentary
Energy burned by hypocrisy

LYRICS
A good thing (x3)
’bout the country summertime blues
Eyes may be blue
And blue skies, too
But it’s never blue inside of you
Listening to the birds sing
While wedding bells ring
Loving all life has to bring
A good thing (x3)
’bout the country summertime blues
Cool pool’s blue hue
Under skies of blue
But it’s never blue inside of you
Watching birds on wing
A the bees join in
Loving all life has to bring

LYRICS
Getting down to the core
Is there any more
At the depth of root
Mute
Point
Tip of the iceberg
Is there so much more?
Large
At the point
Down to the core
Charge
To the point
Down at the core
Explore for more
Explorin’ in
Explorin’ in for more
At the core

To the / y(our) story
I’m sorry
Turning glory
Into defeat
Rise up! Raise! Praise!
Real-eyes! Praise the / y(our) glory
Made in the image of…
Made in the image of…
Love

LYRICS
Back in the day
You could get your jolly
(Riding) on the trolley
Now they say
It doesn’t go this way
Tracks in disarray
Leaving the traveler in dismay
Ohhh… man’s folly
Off the tracks?
Better check your facts
None-the less… trackless
Never-the-less… trackless
Back in the day
You could gain some sane
(Riding) on the train
Now they say
It doesn’t go this way
Tracks in disarray
Leaving the traveler in dismay
Ohhh… man’s insane
Off the tracks?
Better check your facts
None-the less… trackless
Never-the-less… trackless
Ohhh… man’s folly
Did away with the trolley
Ohhh… man’s insane
Ain’t no riding the train

LYRICS
Encircled by the deepest purple
In fact, black
As hellfire rains down
Reigns all around
That whitelion inside of you
Comes roaring through
While angels are cast from heaven
The sprouting of demons is a fore-given
And at the very end
When the messenger they send
Has no ear to lend….

LYRICS
A million and one loves
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway
And a heart or two, too
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway
Realize
Heaven is on Earth
Birth in paradise
Heaven on Earth
Birth
The smile of a baby
Or little ole lady
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway
Stand up comedy shtick
Or a bit of ole slapstick
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway

Is anyone around
To testify
It’s going down

Writing a sad song
Bequeath theft
Or bequeath breath

LYRICS
If it’s too far to go
Well, I just don’t know
’cause if you stay here
I won’t be near
I’ve got to go the extra mile
Whistling all the while
Then, it’s never too far
From being where you are
No matter the distance
Try to keep that smile
Won’t be sitting on the fence
Or shadow of the sundial
If it’s getting hard to hear
What I have to say
’cause you’re getting farther from here…
… as here is on our way

LYRICS
Then this revelation
Came crashing in
Like a tree
Through your roof
Or to your face
A hoof
Realization of the revelation
Came easy
Even if I felt
A little queasy
This revelation came crashing in
Like police
Through the door
Evidence… you need more?
In fact, Godsmacked
I see the light
Alright

LYRICS
Busting out
Summertime rhyme
Finding out
’bout sweat and grime
Ohhhh it’s time
for the summertime rhyme
Sing and shout
Busting out
May I say
It’s too hot for May
Still I’ll play
Through the heat of day
It’s alright
IF it’s cool tonight
Feels just right
For music’s insight

LYRICS
Wondering if it’s a given
All dogs go to heaven
Wondering what they’ll be sniffin’
Heard it smells in hell
But for heaven as well?
If you know the aroma, do tell
And their God you can not see
Her scent is a mystery
No sound for the ear to hear
Her scent escapes me
Certainly can’t touch much
Her scent is odor free
And your taste goes to waste
Her scent is a mystery
ABOUT THE SONG
A song about the dogma of dogma… does your god “exist”?
