LYRICS
Now I remember…
You always leave a bad taste
Such a waste
Well, look at this
They said ignorance is bliss
‘suppose that’s your picture in the dictionary?
(So fancy and quite contrary)
Thank you for spelling it out… now, it is plain to see
What a waste
Bad taste
If you think you are cute
Ya sure ain’t astute
A fool should stay mute
When unable to refute
Ignorance is bliss?
Sure don’t miss… your kind — unkind with a narrow mind
Cry, baby, cry?
No, now I remember why I said goodbye
Because of all this, “Ignorance is bliss”
If such is this, the only bliss is…
Leaving your arrogance-in-ignorance
Haste for a good taste
Cleanse the palate
And, forget

LYRICS
Ya know…
Seems the wind and the snow
Got into a rift
If ya catch my drift
Fast, furious, swift
If you catch my drift
Blowin’ higher
Goin’ higher
Gettin’ dire
Startin’ to irk my ire
If ya catch my dirft
Seems the snow, ya know
Got into it… a rift… a drift
Adrift in a drift
I see society adrift
In their rift
They say they pray for a shift
Adrift in the rift
Of the drift

LYRICS
Looks like we’re staring straight into the storm
Better raise the alarm
Can you take me to the wizard
That conjured up this blizzard
… take away his royal robe
… shaking up my snow-globe
Looks like we’re staring straight into the storm
Better raise the alarm
So, I’d love to quiz the wizard
That conjured up this blizzard
See what he was thinking… do a mind probe
Perhaps lobotomize his frontal lobe
… shaking up our snow-globe
For crying-out-loud
It’s a total white-out out

LYRICS
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Wasn’t looking for trouble
It sounds like trouble
Hate to burst your bubble
It ain’t that novel
Now I gotta shovel
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Don’t want to grovel from the curse of the devil
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Scrapping the knuckle
Bustin’ a muscle
Taking a pummel in this struggle
Ain’t no subtle shovel
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep
Getting deep, deep, deep….

LYRICS
The dark of night
Gets coated in white
Covered like a blanket
Coming down… down blanket
Comforter
Will you comfort her?
Black of night
Covered in white
Turns the bright on the night
I can see
Intensity
It’s coming down
Like a blanket
It’s coming down
Coming down
Cover it
Thick and deep
It’s coming down
Thick and deep
Let’s hope our lives… we can keep

LYRICS
Soundcheck — “Blizzard”
Starts off with… talking about a lizard
A lizard blizzard
Lizard
Lizard grew
Lizard grew and grows and grew and grows into a dragon
Zilla God Zilla God Zilla Godzilla
King of the lizard
There was a squall
This squall said after all
I want to be tall
I want to be a tall
I want to be a tall tale
(tail of the wind… tale of the wind… )
I want to be the king of the storms
I want to blow hard
And not be a blowhard
The king of the storm
Cause to raise the alarm
King of the storm
The blizzard
The 100 year blizzard
A 500 year blizzard
The king of the storm
Enough to cause alarm
A state of emergency
See! Emergency!
The storm of the dragon
Blizzard
The king of the storm
As is the king of the lizard
The king of the storm
Blizzard
Sustained wind(s)
Blowin’
Visibility — snowblind
Visibility zero
Temperature subzero
(Climate unkind)
King of the storm
Blizzard
The blizzard
(I beg for some milk and an egg… I beg)

LYRICS
Stripped down
To the lean and clean
Gonna strip down
To the lean and clean
See what I can gleam
From the glistening (The Electric Slugs leave trails that are glistening)
Stripped down
(listening to the sound around)
interlude
Stripped down
Taking off those dirty clothes
Off that dirty robe
Disrobe and get clean
Gonna stand under that water flow and get to know
Stripped down
Stripped down
Down, down, down
(solo)
Stripped down
Gonna let that water flow, ya know?
Gonna get to know that water flow
Making me so clean
Let the water rain over me
Let the water reign over me
Gonna feel so clean
(bass jam of the subwoofer dub stepped dance-able)
Under the water flow you get to know
What it feels to be clean
Like… squeaky clean, I mean
Under the water flow
Under that flow
You get to know
What if feels to be clean
Like lean n’ clean
(post interlude / bass override / guitar solo overkill)

LYRICS
Let’s have some phunwitit?
Hey! What do you say
Can we have some phunwitit?
How about we quit?
Quit the reaper habit
Instead, let’s have some phunwitit
If we use our head
Instead
We use our head
And, have some phunwitit
[space interlude having fun with the sound]
Why so grim, Grim?
Why so grim, Grim Reaper?
Don’t want to be like him
Grim Reaper
Talk about a creeper
Want to quit that reaper habit
I want to…
Don’t you want to, too
Quit that… that reaper habit
(Gonna have some fun with it)
[space interlude having fun with the sound and dance]
I thought you said, “We were going to have some phunwitit?”
Maybe I missed that part
Unless you consider that art?
[space interlude having fun it]
Let’s have some fun with it?
I like your backing vocals
And the dancing girls
That’s what I call having some phunwitit
Let’s have some phunwitit
And… I like the way ya’ll got off your seat
And… off your feat and on your feet on your seat
You’re feet on the defeat of the seat
You had some phunwitit?
You had some phunwitit!
Yean, let’s have some fun with it
[Far outer space interlude]

LYRICS
I wouldn’t get caught-up in all of that
Tangled up in a knot
I’d rather not
No, I don’t really want to get caught-up in all of that
I hope to know when to let go of the millstone
(Do you have a millstone around your neck
What the heck?
Too aloof to take it off)
I don’t have to sit all high and mighty on my throne
If my ankle gets tangled up in the anchor’s chain
I’d rather refrain
From getting caught-up in all that
Rather stay a rocker than in Davey Jone’s Locker
No, I don’t really want to get caught-up in all of that
End up as some splat
I’m not into a tit-for-tat
No, I don’t really want to get caught-up in all of that
End up a splat
I have fears
Of a little loose clothing getting into the gears
Before I know what
I’m caught-up in all that
… I’ve the feelin’ it’s real beat to be mincemeat
I’d rather stay a rocker and keep the beat
Then, ending up being mincemeat
(What would my fans think at a meet and great?)
You know, this guy ain’t chopped liver!
I’ve got a life to live of being a giver
Thus, my reluctance to get caught-up in all that
In that hypocrite fat cat spat shat
(That’s it! The hypocrite fat cat spat shat… I don’t want to get caught-up in all that)
If it’s alright with you, I’d like to find out about gracefully “bowing out”
(Oh! That’s what that is — hypocrite fat cat spat shat. I don’t want to get caught-up in all that.)

LYRICS
I think I’ll go catch me a comet
Wanna come get it?
I’ve got a comet by the tail
But, I can’t wail
There’s no sound found in space
But, at least, there’s no friction upon my face
I’ve got a comet by the tail
I just wish I could wail
Ride ’em cowboy
Express your joy
But, I can’t wail
In space
But, at least, there’s no friction upon my face
There’s no sound to be found
In outer space

LYRICS
Cheetah
Jaguar
Tiger
All in a line with the lion
King of the jungle
Not one to mumble and grumble
But it looks like a jaguar
And the cheetah
Together with the tiger
Are forming a line
with the lion
They’re standing shoulder to shoulder
If you have a girl, you better hold her
’cause those are some really bad cats
And ya know, they’re all in a row
Oh no
Cheetah
Tiger
Jaguar
Forming a line with the lion
I ain’t lying
I wish I had my whip and my chair
But they’re nowhere
No whip, no chair
Anywhere
No whip, no chair
We better beware
I don’t think we can hold back
An attack
Cheetah
Jaguar
Tiger
All forming a line with the lion
The king of the jungle
I can see it in their eye
Eye can see it in their I
They want to toss
And they want to tumble
They want to rumble
They want to eat me as meat
They want to eat me as a delicious treat

A song inspired by NASA and scientists all around Earth… that inspire us earthlings to consider the realms. Here is a dose of the cosmos using their visuals… combined with a little fractal animation, chaos theory and special effects. A partial list of picture credits would include New Zealand, Earth, Moon (ours and others), Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Pluto, space debris, nebuli, galaxies, black holes and artists’ depictions.
LYRICS
I’m going to take a dose of cosmos
And get far out
Into my outer space
My body leaving no trace
Getting into my outer space
Going to take a dose of cosmos
And get far out
Without a doubt
Get into my outer space
Just put on your brave face
And, let’s get into our outer space
This is the verse
About getting out of the universe
We were much to close
Now it’s time to get far out
In our outer space
I hope I’m not off base
By suggest you take a dose of cosmos
And, get far out
Bizarre?
Mars isn’t that far
Get your arse passed Uranus
Maybe stop at Jupiter
Play a little guitar
Burn on Saturn
Another dose of cosmos
We’ll be in outer space
On the way through the Milky Way
As we transverse the universe
Another dose of cosmos
Just for fun
Go around the sound
Round and round the sun
Soon will be coming home
Around the moon
Take a dose of the cosmos
And, get far out
Dose Of Cosmos (Space Music Video).mp4
