LYRICS
Hurling through space on this land mass
Around the sun make one more pass
Awful glad we’re nomad
The best times we’ve ever had
You can only be coming home
By making home where you roam
Using Earth as our mothership
Hoping we learn some stewardship
Time to get our house in shape
Starting to give instead of take
Chorus
Easy to see we’re merely gypsies
Making our wagon from earth and seas
Traveling through time… traveling through space
Calling the journey our sovereign place

LYRICS
Right before my eyes I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why
None to be found
None around
Right before my I’s, I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why
If all I do is “I, I, I, me, me, me”
It’s easy to see
No surprise
My demise
Right before my eyes I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why
How can you have more space
If space is nothing
How can you have more nothing
And find a trace?
(trip)
Right before my I’s, I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why
It seems that this I
The I I eye
Coming to think… it’s inevitable
That I’ll be unable…
I mean, we’re all gonna die
I don’t care why
(skip and a jump / time slide faster)
Common sense is hard to come by
But you’d better try
Not just some sort-of pie-in-sky
Get a grasp
At last

LYRICS
Right wing. Left wing.
Hear them sing
Thinking they’re the only thing
Left wing. Right wing.
Here’s the thing
Coming to our table with nothing to bring
The wind of change is starting to blow
Time to re-arrange… time for them to go
Right wing. Left wing.
All ding-a-ling
Thinking they’re the only thing
Left wing. Right wing.
Bird can’t fly
No co-operating… any wonder why?
Chorus
Right wing. Left wing.
Whole thing’s stinkin’
Makes ya wonder what the hell they are thinkin’
Left wing. Right wing. All are freakin’
Waitin’ to see who’s the first one blinkin’

LYRICS
As one can plainly see
There’s something wrong in D.C.
Politicians line their pockets
Popping eyeballs from their sockets
Dropping jaws hit the floor
No more! It’s all I can endure
You turn my vote into rote
Then you gloat on your lavish bloat
Taking advantage of me
Taking our “be” gladly
Public servant’s been bent
On the trust we’ve lent
Chorus
Fat cat feeds the hypocrite
No one seems to care a bit
The elite spreading deceit
The public should unseat

LYRICS
If you keep trying to find your place in this space
Even just trying to keep place at your pace
By looking in, by digging in, inside
How are you ever gonna figure it out
Figure out out
Figure out out
If you’re lost in your own space
Trying to figure out what face
To wear
Beware
If you keep digging in
Looking in
To your inside
You’re gonna miss the ride
How ya gonna figure out out
Figure out out?
If it’s all about you
Unlikely life will ring true
But, you’ll get through
Doing all you can do
To figure out out
To figure out out
You’ve got to come out
Look out!
To figure out out
Where to begin?
Get over within
Figure out out
Get over within
Get to figgerin’ out out
Trying to get on and along
Getting over in
Figuring out out
Trying to figure out out
Gonna figure out out
Leaving no doubt
Getting it on within figuring out out

LYRICS
Oh you can’t go to heaven on a city bus
’cause a city bus won’t carry us
Oh you can’t go to hell on the Frankford El
Come to think of it… probably just as well
How did I come to occupy a foreign spy
Novel spy novel
It won’t be long ’till you’re playin’ James Bond
007 on a mission from heaven
Of all the ladies you are fond
Place your bets on seven/eleven
Silent alarm
Good luck charm
Oh you can’t get to heaven on this train
’cause this train you can’t restrain
Runaway train heading straight to hell
Better jump off in case you couldn’t tell
Double crossed by a double agent
Retrospective trust misspent
Chorus
What’s going round is coming round
’till justice balanced can be found

LYRICS
I thought it’d all been said
That’s when it entered my head
If no one’s listening
’cause ears are blistering
Deaf, dumb and blind to being kind
I thought she’d been put to bed
That’s when she rose from the dead

The last chapter’s been read
On which path were you led

Are you seeing white or seeing red
Choose the right to be invested

LYRICS
Coming up with the rising sun
Look around… you’re not the only one
Coming up meadow of spring green
Intertwined roots can’t be seen
A dependent foundation
Independent validation
Social individual combination
Coming up with the rising tide
Filled with saline solution inside
Coming up love… it’s a flood
Sharing all is our red blood
Chorus
Coming up with a humane solution
Dealing with our political pollution
We can take responsibility
Coming up a lil’ you, a lil’ me

LYRICS
Taking showers with the meteors
More than mediocre
We fly high
Lighting up the sky
Fleeing all
Falling in a waterfall
Getting to know the flow
In total
With the waterfall
Take flight through the night into the bright…
Dawn
Moving on
Take a shower with the meteors
More than mediocre
You can fly high
In the night sky

LYRICS
A tiger chasing its tail (tale)
Little Black Sambo will prevail
Turning that mean mudder
Into a slick of butter
Twisted wind
Spinnin’ round
gin’ and agin’
All around the mulberry bush
Weasel pursued by monkey
It was hard for the weasel to see
Amusement in the rush
Chorus
All is well on the carousel
Listening to the pump organ sing
Up and down as we go ’round
Bound to grasp the brass ring

LYRICS
What message do you want to send
Your intent and what is meant
I’ll be your servant… just call me Sir Vent
Oh, Lord, what can I do
Who can I serve you?
Come from a tribe of scribes
No corruption. No bribes.
Just tell me what you want to
I’ll get the message through
Do what I have to, too
To convey what you say
A bugle to blow… a trumpet
Where it is wrong went

Hey!
Maybe your gravy train….
Maybe your gravy boat….
Maybe your ship is comin’ in
Through the mist
Right into your midst

Let go of your fist

It’s at your fingertips
Evolve your consciousness
Play fingertips play
Play finger tip plays
Play out my days

LYRICS
Do you fear we’ve exhausted the final frontier
Do you fear… the final frontier
And, do you know where will go
From here
Where do we go from here
Have we exhausted the final frontier
We’ve exhausted
Wasted
Away
Approaching the final day
Do you know where we’ll go from here
Where do we go from here
I fear…
We’ve exhausted the final frontier
Now there can no longer be peer-to-peer
’cause you can’t even find a peer
I fear the final frontier was here
And it’s gone
What went wrong
What do we do at the end of the line
At the End Of Times
Do you know where to go from here?

Hit the road Jack
Kepp your focus

When you’re ahead
Don’t look back
