LYRICS
Just when I’m starting to think
I’ve got the ling for ink
I start to begin
Letting the inkling
Commencing settling
The inkling sets in
It’s when I do have a clue
A dash of wit… I get it
No need for gossip or a hissy fit

LYRICS
Since your inevitable ending is clear
Hold life dear
Though your inevitable ending is clear
Have no fear
The credible evitable is sensible
The unavoidable — inevitable
Even though death is certain
’till my final curtain, I am able
Will your soul remain stable or be left as fable?

LYRICS
Jesus!
Oh, my God
(ooops)
Oh, oh… how odd
To claim you as my God. My God!
We won’t be one ’till I’m done?
Guess it won’t be ’till I’m dead
That being said
Hope I haven’t made my bed
Gotta lie in it
Gotta die in it
Forgive me Lord
For I have sinned
Sinned again, again, again
What’s been has been
Has been
Now I’d love to start again
Love love to start again
Love Love to start again

LYRICS
May your light shine bright
Feeling alright!
May your light shine bright
So you feel alright
Into the night
May your sky be litter with stars
Bringing light from afar
Alright, may your light shine bright
Alright! May your light shine bright
And, your night…
Sky…
Keep you high
Night sky
Lit with light from afar
Bringing you light from afar
Littered with stars with light from afar
Sometimes in the night
The moon will redirect the light
And, it can shine, shine, shine
Make ya feel fine
Standing in the moonlight
Moonlight
I’m…
Gettin’ a moontan
Gettin’ a moontan on
May your light shine bright
Feeling alright
Get your moontan on
Feeling alright
May your light shine bright
Feeling all right, alright?
Get your moontan on
The sky at night
Littered with stars
Bringing you light from afar
Light bright, alright!

LYRICS
The sky is blue
And, the sea is, too
When you pull back your point-of-view
For the heavenly view
They say it looks like a marble of blue
Marble of blue
View of you
Marble of blue
Marble of blue
Looking like I’m one with you
Marble of blue
From their view
I’m one with you
While I’m here, I hope I can do all I can do
(ripple on the water interlude)
Taking in a heavenly view
Marble of blue
They say you’re looking like a marble of blue
Marble of blue
Just hurling through space with the human race
Will they be your flea?
Or, will they set the marble free?
Not looking long ’till we will see
(ripple on the water interlude part 2)

LYRICS
Pop polka dot
Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
It’s tiny
Itsy bitsy
Pop polka dot
Not
You’ve gotta dot your i’s and cross your t’s
Especially
If you’re at the bottom of the bin
Again and again and again
Pop polka dot
Especially
If you’re varmint kin
Again and again and again
It’s tiny
It might seem miniscule
to you all
but to us
it’s worth puttin’ up the fuss
Yeah, put up the fuss
Pop polka dot
It’s the Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
I ask why
You say why not
The dream is not?
Why not…
You might as well be drooling in snot
That’s why not
And, then just when you think you can do it again
You find out not
You’re just a pop polka dot
Not
Dot
Pop polka dot

LYRICS
Junglized
Realized I’ve been junglized
When I first realized I was junglized
I was surprised
Instead of seeing through rose (colored) glasses
I realized we were just making ourselves into asses
We were looking through jungle eyes
We’ve lost clarity of humanity
Junglized
Jungle eyes
Have you realized
We’ve been junglized
Looking at the world through jungle eyes

LYRICS
Can I attest I protest your protest
Because your protest is lame
Have you gone insane?
This protest is lame
Even if it’s just me that thinks they can see
That this protest needs protesting
And, in and of itself this is interesting
There still needs to be more… more protesting
More sanity, clarity in what it is we want to be
What it is we want to be
It’s time I’m
Going to protest this protest
(Unless we can get it together)
If we don’t stand up and protest this lame protest
We’ll only become less and less… and less and less
Unless we protest this protest
Unless we rise
Unless we realize
Rise
We’ve got to protest this protest
Test the protest
Unless we become less and less
It’s not so much a matter of whether…
We need not confess
It’s much more a matter of whether we become less and less
Unless we protest this protest
Or, become less and less
Here comes the interesting part
… it’s all about you
Do, de, do, de, do-do

LYRICS
Perhaps some sort-of bumble going on in the jungle
When I looked at the end of my arm
I could see a mirror looking back at me
Ohhh, I think I get it
The conspiracy is me

A conspiracy of me
Ohhh, yeah… I’m starting to see
The conspiracy is me
The conspiracy in me
What the difference between you and me
And we
If you’re talking about the conspiracy in me

Album notes for the yet to be completed concept album… haa… sorry, I mumble about the bungle of The Jungle.
Look up to the sky… please tell me
It’s a mumble
Why’d we bungle the jungle?
oh you ask oh why they foul the sky
they mumble why they fouled the jungle
look up to the sky
what do you see
please tell me
It’s a mumble why the bungle of the jungle
You mumble why you bumble the jungle?
—-
The bungle
The jungle
When I ask people why you foul the sky
’cause I wonder why
It’s just a mumble
Why bungle the jungle
When you look into the sky
Does it make you want to cry
Does it make you wonder why
When I was why
When you ask why
When we ask why
There’s a stumble on the words
A mumble of words
Why the bungled jungle
Destruction
From your construction
Of your mumbled bumbled ways
Twhat did you say
I C’nt hear you
