LYRICS
How come you’re just sitting there
All dolled-up
With a silly grin above your chin?

Living from day to day
Living in a positive way

Somewhere in a parallel world
There’s someone getting young
TO mirror growing old
So while the song can be sung…
Pray. Play. Say….

Living from day to day
Living in a positive way

LYRICS
What a lucky lad
When you look back
At all you had
What a lucky lad

Chorus
And, they all join in
With the words you’ve given
Make them sing and shout
Get the words out

I suppose
When it comes to prose
Nothing you lack
Please give a dose
… a word attack

Can you hear me
Clearly
Or do you have to strain
From echoes in the brain

Growing old and the senses are going
Try to take in what you can
And hope you can keep on storing
Listen back… again and again

LYRICS
It’s dawning on me
That it’s sunset at Fest
May I suggest
You take a look n’ see

Come on in here
Learn n’ love… hunker
At Bob’s Country Bunker
Enjoy the atmosphere
Memories to hold dear

It’s dawning on me
That it’s sunset at Fest
May I suggest
You hold it dearly

What?
Up from Who Hill
At the Azzoles?
Keep going still…
Just past the Roost… Until
You get a Stage Trip that’ll fulfill

And, if there is something troubling you
This is what you do
Grab my hand and jump about
Sure enough, you’ll find out

Dancing Off The Roof

LYRICS
We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

Might as well transpire
Our feat is on fire
Might as well transpire
Our feet are on fire

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

The sweat is dripping from my brow
Now, it pours from every pore

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

The “Hard Sun” is pounding down
… some more and some more

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

It’s not as though we’re aloof
Or your reality is just a spoof

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

LYRICS
Was she serious when she said
Serious dumpster fire ahead?
The Boulevard’s shut down
How we gonna get around?

Was she serious?
A serious dumpster fire
Seriously?
It sounds funny to me

How could civilization transpire
To the point of a “serious” dumpster fire?
That’s what the lady on the radio said
“Hello. This is your radio…
Traffic update”
At any rate, she went on to state
“The Boulevard is shut down
You’ll have to find a way around.”
Then, like the town crier
She said, “serious dumpster fire”

LYRICS
If ever there was a time
For a sure thing
This would be the time
To bring
Make it yours
Make it mine
’cause this is a time for a sure thing

I’d like to take the time to say
This is a good day

If ever there was a time
For a sure thing
Let’s see what we can bring

Let’s get it on
Let’s have begun

Let’s bring everything

If we can raise praise…
Please may we raise the praise

Now, give it up

Give it up
Give it over to the sure
I can see what She can bring
I can see… eternity
I can see we can be

Bring on the sure thing

LYRICS
You know that you are out of touch
Does it bother you much?

For way too long
You’ve been going wrong
(going, going, going, gone)
You’re out of touch

Are you out of touch
Does it bother you much

You sit and rap
You call that rap
You call that crap?
You try to rhyme
But, it doesn’t work… most of the time

You’re out of touch
Way too much
Then, again
Way too often

Check out
Outside of your shell
Out of your living hell

You’re way out of touch
Does it bother you much?

Have you heard the news
You’re giving them the blues
With your lack of comprehension
Your lack of attention
Your lack of satisfaction

You’re out of touch
Does it bother you much?

LYRICS
There’s a place below absolute zero you can go
Where the evil spirits can’t go… the temperature is too low

A place where freewill will
And, the evil spirits distill

Someplace low, low, low, low, low
Where the evil spirits can’t go
They can’t go

Distill the evil spirits (and, they fear it.)
The cream of the crop will rise to the top

If you can seek out… find out about
A place that is low
So low the evil spirits can’t go

If you knew this was your last chance
Would you take the opportunity to dance?

Would you take the opportunity

Let’s not let all our future drain into the past
Let’s take the opportunity to dance

Dance yourself right out of those pants

Forget about all that silly nonsense
Come on and dance
