LYRICS
While you age you’re on the stage
All the world
Do you think your life’s a book… chapter… page?
What’s your outlook
Peace or rage…
All the world?
Add the adapter
Who? That would be you!
If your love is whorled
May it become unfurled
Whirled over the world
All the world

LYRICS
Faster than in the middle
But not so fast we’re not able to last
Can we answer the riddle
When does the future pass to the past?
And, in between what does mean mean
The Earthling beings seem to be being
Reigned by humans… the least humane I’ve seen
My Friend,
As far as the future
Are we almost there?
I’m not sure
Are you aware?
Can we try n’ figure
If it could be found
’cause I’d like ta’ get there ’round….
The End

Prince for President
With Ted Nugent on the ticket… too
Prince for President
Or would that make him King?
(Wouldn’t that be something)
President Prince on the far left
VP Nugent on the far right
In a head-to-head musical fight
The slogan that will reign their campaign:
“Put an end to political theft
… with deft!”
Out with the daft and in with the deft!
A monarchy in our destiny

Circus mucus
Might drown from that clown
Did you see
There’s a monkey
Running the zoo
… did you?
There’s an elephant in the room
And, the idiot in-bloom
Implore no more do we ignore
We need a ring master
All the faster
For this circus is on the cusp of disaster
Step right this way…
One thin dime
One tenth of a dollar
He walks. He talks. He crawls on his belly like a reptile
(Must be an Earthling thing?)

LYRICS
Um,
This is a test
Of the here and now
Time and space
Continuum
Is this human race
Somehow
At rest
Time we passed the past
Hope our present lasts
To our future success
What satisfaction
If just a fraction
Civilization
Some elimination
Of starvation
And, degradation
Some elevation
Of realization
And, appreciation

Secret agent
Though you be we can’t see

Inventive subsurface

There’s no mess. There’s no fuss.

LYRICS
Say, let’s Merengue all day!
Hold me
In a closed position
Squeeze me
With affection
Merengue all day!
All day and all night
Your dance is never trite
All day and all night
Your dance… out of sight…
Dynamite
Alright
All right
Hold me tight!
ABOUT THIS SONG
Merengue (/məˈrɛŋɡeɪ/) is a style of Dominican music and dance. Partners hold each other in a closed position. The leader holds the follower’s waist with the leader’s right hand, while holding the follower’s right hand with the leader’s left hand at the follower’s eye level. The first person to dance the Merengue was a 10 year old girl named Lismary Calderon. Partners bend their knees slightly left and right, thus making the hips move left and right. The hips of the leader and follower move in the same direction throughout the song. Partners may walk sideways or circle each other, in small steps. They can switch to an open position and do separate turns without letting go each other’s hands or releasing one hand. During these turns they may twist and tie their handhold into intricate pretzels. Other choreographies are possible. — Wikipedia

LYRICS
Cumbia here
Hear
Cumbia hear, my Lord!
Someone’s dancing, my Lord
Cumbia hear
Someone’s jigging
Someone’s jamming
In the name of love
No push. No shove.
Just jamming
In the name of love
Butterfly kiss
Kid’s glove
Just jamming
In the name of love
When necessary
Sting like a bee
Floating, floating, floating like a butterfly
ABOUT THIS SONG
Cumbia is a music genre popular throughout Latin America. The Cumbia originated in Colombia’s Caribbean coastal region and Panama, from the musical and cultural fusion of Native Colombians and Panamanians, slaves brought from Africa, and the Spanish during colonial times in the old country of Pocabuy, which is located in Colombia’s Momposina Depression and in the northeast of Panama, in the ancient palenques of the Congo nation. — Wikipedia

LYRICS
What do you say
We lay
Down our arms
And make love
Turn off the killing alarms
Be free of
Turn on getting turned on
Spawn
A lush crush
For sure
Make love, not war
Love more, more, more
Make love, not war
Hate hate negate
More love more more
Lay your love spoor
Make love not war
ABOUT THIS SONG
Make love, not war is an anti-war slogan commonly associated with the American counterculture of the 1960s. It was used primarily by those who were opposed to the Vietnam War, but has been invoked in other anti-war contexts since. The “make love” part of the slogan often referred to the practice of free love that was growing among the American youth who denounced marriage as a tool for those who supported war and favored the traditional capitalist culture.The phrase’s origins are unclear; some credit Louis Abolafia. Radical activists Penelope and Franklin Rosemont helped to popularize the phrase by printing thousands of “Make Love, Not War” buttons at the Solidarity Bookshop in Chicago, Illinois and distributing them at the Mother’s Day Peace March in 1965. They were the first to print the slogan.
In April 1965, at a Vietnam demonstration in Eugene, Oregon, Diane Newell Meyer, then a senior at the University of Oregon, pinned a handwritten note on her sweater reading “Let’s make love, not war”, thus marking the beginning of the popularity of this phrase. A picture of Meyer wearing the slogan was printed in the Eugene Register-Guard and then a related article turned up in the New York Times on May 9, 1965. When the slogan was used in California in 1967, then Governor Ronald Reagan joked to protesters “Those guys [the protesters] look like they can’t make either of both”.
