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

LYRICS

Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?

The saddest thing I’ve ever seen…
Is Shoudy sailing in a U-haul truck
What the %uck?
Life gets obscene
Know what I mean?

Don’t hesitate
Before it’s too late
Tempt fate
Go irate
Set ’em straight

Come on back, Jack!
The best crib to ad-lib
Music, dancin’ shakin’ the shack

Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?

LYRICS
How can we be totally free if we destroy our destiny?

Can you see through the tree
’cause it’s bothering me
Hopin’ it’s just temporary
’cause how can we be free… totally free… if we destroy destiny?

Can you see through the tree
’cause it’s bothering me
It’s coming to me clearly
If we can see through the tree, we’re destroying our destiny
Can’t be free if we destroy destiny

Sylvania can it be we’re in atrophy
I appear to be alone in knowing the causes of ozone
When you’re driving a car burning ethanol, you’re not burning it all
Blowing holes through trees
’till it dies… it ceases and you can see through to the sky
When the leaves cease
Makes me wonder how we can ever be free if we destroy our destiny

LYRICS
Here it comes!
Add up the sum of the sum of the sums
Here it comes

Here it comes!
It comes
Will come like a drip, drip, drip
To the tick, tick, tick-tock
Of the clock
Will it walk the walk
Just talk the talk
Talk the walk walk the talk?

Well, do you know
Will it flow
Will it usher in the gusher?
Here it comes!

Here it comes!

Will it rush right out
We’ll we find out
When it’s not quite
It won’t quit
Will it just keep coming like a comet
Through the atmosphere
Do we have something to fear?
’cause here it comes!

Here it comes!

Hope it’s bringing fun
And, then some
’cause there’s nowhere to run
Here it comes!
Like the light of the sun
I yearn that it won’t burn
I am hoping that it will shine so fine
Like a light divine

Here it comes!

Gonna usher in the gusher
Gonna know the flow
It’s about
It’s about to spout
It’s about to spout out
Here it comes!

LYRICS
Mother Nature is getting her act together
Looks like we’re in for some extreme weather
Better batten down the hatches
Check the locks and check the latches
The clouds foreshadowing doom
‘less corrective action is taken soon

Better of not fooling with Mother Nature
Just another man-made folly for sure
Amaze with a haze… the lines we blur
Bringing on the rapture is no cure
The clouds foreshadowing doom
‘less corrective action is taken soon

We had better think twice ’bout being nice
Skating on thin ice won’t suffice
Deadline is upon us… time to pay the price
Stork of midnight. Coach to pumpkin. Horses to mice.
The clouds foreshadowing doom
‘less corrective action is taken soon

It’s true what’s said about the dead,
“You’re dead.”

Checking in to checking in
Been too long
Going wrong

Checking in to checking in
I for one have begun
To check in to checking in

Checking in to checking in

LYRICS
When the gates of hell fell
Closing behind
Have you lost your mind

Something smell like rotten eggs
Burning sulfur
Brimstone
A terrible smell for all but the demon
A terrible smell for the human

The gates of hell fell
You started to tell
As you looked behind
You’d lost your mind

The gates of hell fell

Up close it looks like their closed

The gates of hell slam shut
No if and or but
And as it comes closed
Don’t let it hit you in the butt
If I had a lil’ more class
I’d say don’t let it hit you in the….

The gates of hell fell
Can you tell
When they close behind
If you’ve lost your mind

But if you wanna come true

Raise your voice and make your choice

The lyin’ tamer
Constitutional framer

The politic
The rhetoric
The hypocrite
Who you calling a heretic?
Enough to make me sick
You couldn’t be much lamer
Look out! Here comes the lyin’ tamer

It’s a jungle out there
Better beware
Those elected officials have the initials
F.U.
F you
They say F! you and then some, too

Lying in wait
To participate
In the taming of your ass
An opportunity I couldn’t let pass

Does anybody know if this is it?
The decision of the ribbon
The decision of the rhythm
Ribbin’
Like string theory
Doesn’t have to be such a mystery
Just use your mind’s eye… I
Decypher the cypher in the sky

The decision of the ribbon
Rubbing the ribbon

More like how a butterfly flaps it’s wings
The resulting things
Chaos theory
The decision of the ribbon
The decision of the rhythm
In the chaos theory
