LYRICS
Bend your mind and stretch through the stars
Send your mind and fetch through the stars

Bend your mind and stretch through the stars
Bend your mind and fetch through the stars

The message that you send
When it reaches your end
Might just be the message you receive
Might just be the message to relieve
Believe

In the end, the message that you send
Might just be the message you receive
Probably can’t hurt if you believe

In the end, the message that you send
Might be the message you receive
It’s in your will to relieve
In spite of what you believe
Believe it’s real
And, you’ll seal
The real deal

You can seal the real deal

LYRICS
Does it feel as though we’re in the thick of it
With everybody moving so quick
Well, you know you can go to the show
Get in the flow
Go

Burn to the wick
Moving quick

Does it feel as though things are moving too fast
Wondering whether we’re gonna last
Well, you know… better than moving to slow
Either in the quick or of the dead
Let the followers be led
Let the rock be bled

LYRICS
The sky is a little bit blue-er
When you’re smiling
The new is a little bit newer
When you’re smiling

Chorus
If you wonder why, give it a try
You’ll see more clearly
How to be happy

The sound is a little bit true-er
When you’re smiling
The tone is a little bit crisper
When you’re smiling

Chorus

The warmth is a little bit deeper
The love is a little bit stronger
The touch a little bit tender-er
That much is a little bit better

LYRICS
An atmosphere of fear
Hovering in the fog of smog
Filth is in the air
In fact, it’s everywhere
Time for a fresh wind to blow again

The air is getting tight
And that ain’t right
Time to clear the atmos-fear

An atmosphere of fear
Lingering cloud over the crowd
Clouded reason veiled shroud
For crying outloud
Time for a fresh wind to begin

An atmosphere of fear
Did it make your make-up smear
Mascara masquerade parade
Trying to cover-up the humanitarian raid
Time for a fresh wind to blow in

LYRICS
The gleam of the sheen
We become the machine
Can you name it…
What do you deem

The gleam of the sheen
One with the machine

Colony of ants
Intertwined roots of plants
Have we become one
With the machine

In the gleam of the sheen
We become the machine

What do you deem?

Can you answer the question
What do you deem?
Are you more than you seem
What do you deem?
Have we become one with the machine

Is that what ya get when you’re innocent
When being naive leads ya to believe
Everyone will treat you decent

LYRICS
Salamander or newt?
I knew it!
A newt is a salamander
Become an understander commander

Do you find the question odd:
Allah or Jesus or God?
I knew it
A subspecies thesis
An exhibit
All created in the image
An iconic mental representation
Spread out through every Age
Fabrication of the holy creation — manifestation

Whose the commander newt or salamander?
Which came first the chicken or the egg
Hard to use God’s name and not to slander
If everyone is equal, how can a beggar beg?

Hard to use God’s name and not to slander

LYRICS
Were you dreaming you were screaming
Calling as your falling
But, nothing coming though your lips was ever really forming
A silent scream
It was just a dream

Were you dreaming you were screaming
Reeling from the seeming
As you’re trying not to be the one that is dying
A silent scream
It was just a dream

Were you dreaming you were screaming
Flailing as your sailing
Obscene! I thought you couldn’t die in a dream
Taking over this consciousness stream
To a conscientious dream

If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
Creating a brand new beat
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
A beat to get ’em off their seat

If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
With a groove to make ’em move
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
Move as though nothing to prove

If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
Creating a brand new beat
If you’re feelin’ good n’ ready
We’ll try to keep the rhythm steady
A beat to get ’em on their feet

LYRICS
I hear strange noises outside my door
Shall I crack and peek… see what’s in store?
Pique my curiosity
I’ve just gotta see

On the peak of a precipice
A recipe for prevalence
Of intelligence
The need to know
Know not a single no
Untangle the knot in your mind
Then it’ll surface… how to be kind
