bookmark_borderFree Your Mind

LYRICS
Let your mind go wild
Forget the rage in the cage
Let’s your mind go wild
Forget the rage. Get out of your cage.
Partake
For goodness sake
Get into it
Into intuition

Let your mind go wild
If the mild is your style
If not, why not untangle that knot
And crank it up
Just a little bit

Be kind with your mind
It’s time to let your mind go wild
For a while
Let your mind be kind
Let your mind go wild
If you want, put your rage in a cage
But, let your mind find out
Let you mind out

Like a rabbit in a hutch
Might have the touch
Turn it up a bit, rabbit

LYRICS
[Pop!]

The bubbles rise
They float…
To the top
Then, they pop!
When they get there
They’re at home in the air
The bubbles rise
They float…
To the top
Then, they pop!

Bubbling

Bubbling toward the surface
And, suffice to say
They take on a new birth
In the atmosphere of Earth
The bubbles float…
To the top
Then, they pop!

LYRICS
Sleuth for the truth
Truth sleuth
Sleuth for truth

Better to leave your mouth shut
Then to open it up
And let it out
Removing all doubt
Fool in need of school

Sleuth for truth
Truth sleuth

If you want to find out
What it’s all about
Find a bridge
To knowledge
Knocking on the door
Doesn’t have to be the school of hard knocks
It’s not like you’re trying to rob Fort Knox
It’s free for the taking
If I’m not mistaken
It’s free for the takin’

Sleuth for truth
Truth sleuth

LYRICS
The secret to life is living
The secret to living is life
It’s not much of a secret
When you’re six feet under… buried… dead

Maybe you were misgiven
Mistaken life for livin’
Embracing strife and grievin’
Save!
Go to the grave
With no regret
While above… wonder… varied… feed your head

LYRICS
Are you feelin’ alien?
I’ve been told
It’s out of this world
Bold
To go where no man has gone before
You’re in store
To become folklore
Go, go, go
To the space show

Are you feelin’ alien?
Are you feelin’ alien, again?
Did you go
To the space show
I’ve been told
It’s out of this world
Better than gold
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 Blast off!

Why don’t you come back to Earth
Since you’ve been given this birth
You might as well take advantage of your age
Earth Age daydream
Might as well age
While you can get old
On this world
I’ve been told
Being earthling is the best thing
Earthling is the best thing to bring

Are you feelin’ alien?
Are you feelin’ alien, again… and again?
Come back down to Earth
Experience God given birth

bookmark_borderNavigate

LYRICS
I can’t wait to navigate space

I hope I see my exit before it’s too late
I can’t wait
To navigate
Space
Head at a steady rate
At any rate, going straight

How do I slow down
When there’s no friction around
None to be found
I hope I see my exit
That’s it
Before it’s too late

I can’t wait
To navigate
Some grand prix race in outer space
Through the galaxies
Heavenly fantasies
In our race through space

On my way through the Milky Way
I’ll search for intelligence
If I can just converge
(maybe some will emerge)
I heard them say
There’s none in the Milky Way
You’ve got to go further out
In outer space
If there’s any trace
Of intelligence
Or just allegiance to ignorance

LYRICS
Time is starting to slide faster a way
Day by day by day
As we collide on the ride
Spacetime continuum I know I am

Take a stroll through a wormhole

Ride the time slide
Come on and ride
Slide, slide, slide
Take a space stroll
Through a time wormhole

Once you’re sucked in
There’s only one way to win
Ride the slide
Take a stroll through the wormhole

bookmark_borderShare The Care

LYRICS
Does anybody share the care
Is anybody there
Do you care to share

Does anybody anywhere share the care
Please let me know you’re out there

Do you have a concern about the level of care
That you can see anyone anywhere share
Or is it just all wrapped up in selfish
Selfish like some sort-of shellfish
The happy clam that I am

Don’t you think it would be fair
If we all learned to share the care
Don’t you think it would be alright
If we all gained some insight
Saw the light
See the light
Be the light
“We” the light

LYRICS
This is a soundcheck… for a reggae sort-a thing… that will be extemporaneous

We’ve made it this far
Rather combine forces and become a star
We’ve made it this far

The I in the I
And the you in you, too
We…
We can determine destiny

Or, so they say

We’ve made it this far

Combine become a star

Become the star you know you are

We’ve made it this far

Heartfelt moment
Heartfelt moment

When you sing Christmas carols in your native tongue
I feel the Earth is as one
Heartfelt moment
It’s a heartfelt moment
First, my spirit went silent
Then, it skipped a beat
When you throw out conceit…
When you throw out defeat…
Heartfelt moment

Wait a minute
No, don’t wait a minute
I feel your spirit
Not only can I hear it
I feel it
Deep within
Heartfelt moment

bookmark_borderUp On The Rooftop

LYRICS
[knock, knock]
I swore I heard a knock at the door
When I went to explore
I found they were no more
There was no body
Nobody was there

It was the strangest thing
I heard the doorbell ring
Thought maybe it was some carolers coming to sing
The strangest thing
When I answered the door
They were no more
There was no body there
Nobody

[knock, knock]
Who is it?

Up on the rooftop
Most baffling
Hearing the strangest thing
Like 8 little reindeer hoof
When I say little… they weren’t really that little… but compared to the roof
8 reindeer hoofs… 8 x 4… maybe even more
If ya count the one rednosed one
So I arose
Trying to be on my toes
I suppose…
Out of curiosity
I had to see
If there was anybody there
Some body
Somebody
Coming down the chimney
I had to see
’cause I’d heard
It was a tradition
And, I was just itching
To find out if this tradition was just fiction
Or, if there was just a sliver of truth
Because if it could be true for me
Maybe it could be true for you, too
So I had to see what this clutter was… this clutter of clatter
If it ’twas the spirit of Christmas
Is that no body somebody
Hard to put my finger on it
This Christmas spirit
But, I tell ya I hear it
Up on the rooftop
Yes, I suppose when I arose
I just had to look in the right place
If I wanted to see the Christmas spirit’s face
It was right in front of me the whole time
And, here I am searching high and low
At least now I know

Up on the rooftop
Why not?

LYRICS
I’m just a bland gland
I don’t understand
Just a bland gland

I don’t know
It’s hard to believe I’ve developed beyond and embryo
I don’t understand
I’m just a bland gland

Like the belly…
No not just the belly
The underbelly of the lowlyest worm at the bottom of the sea
Yeah that’s me
I don’t understand
I’m just a bland gland

Do I care if I see an atrocity
Nooooo
I just plead ignorance
My indifference passed off as ignorance
I’m guessing people will feel sorry for me
If I don’t understand the atrocity
