LYRICS
Fast and furious
Cat got curious
Just in the nick of time
Are you serious?
Way too delirious
Not a reason nor rhyme
Fast and furious
More than dangerous
Our time the greatest crime

It Surely May Be.mp3

LYRICS
Be it as it may, for it surely may be.

Escape to where you are. It’s not very far.
You can be what you want to be. You can be where you want to be.
You can be all you can be
Picture where you’d like to go, and you know…
Picture it. Picture it. Picture it.
And, bit by bit by bit by bit
You’ll be able to grab it. You just can’t be a pig. You can’t dig, dig, dig.
But you know if you give with the flow, you know the flow will give, if you give with the flow, ya know?
You get to know where you want to go
You get to go where where it is you want to go
You can be. Can you picture it? Can you see?
It’s true. You can make your dreams come true.
You can make your dreams come true for you.

Maybe it may be. Maybe it may be.
See if you can see… then bit by bit you can picture it… and be.

LYRICS
My attention had been apprehended
At the suspense of being suspended
Suspended in time and space
In the habitat known as an earthly place
Sure is splendid until it’s ended
Then, I don’t know where I’ll go
In the meantime, it’s intended to be attended
And, if comprehended… who knows… maybe extended
Splendid and highly recommended
With the unintended consequence of being commended
As suspended is befriended

LYRICS
Come a little closer… just a little bit
I wouldn’t want to miss with a little KISS
Right between the eyes with a KISS hit
Come a little closer… just a little bit
Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)
Do you want satin or prefer cupid?

Come a little closer… no, don’t move back
I want to give you this special KISS
Right between the eyes with a KISS whack
Come a little closer… take out the slack
Keep It Simple Stupid
Forget hatin’… feel what love did

And when I look in my window
So many different people to be

Delirious, delirium, deliverance
Now, that we’re experienced dance

bookmark_borderBut, I Am Meat

Scene: Enlightenment comes to a vegan convention. A participant comes to the realization they are meat. Then, another participant overhears the realization and says, “But, I am meat.” A discussion ensues about who should be meat #1 and who should be meat #2.

LYRICS
But, I am meat
And I’m glad to meet you
Meat, too
But, I am meat
Glad to meet you, too
Meat, too
I must admit at the heart of it I’m really just a giant hunk of meat
On two hooves… we’re sheep dressed as wolves
I try not to speak with forked tongue, but when it’s all said and done…
I suppose the plants will have won
I suppose as I decompose… we’ll have become one
As we become one, and the plants eat me… I’m starting to see my destiny — I am meat
Great… greet the meat as I meet and greet you, too… meat, too.

LYRICS
Oh, a very influential person
(Underworld Don)
Ain’t that the understatement of the year?
Didn’t wanna worsen
(Didn’t wanna dawn)
Too much enlightenment I fear

Euphoria in the euphemism
If it means I am
In the clear

Do ya need to tame the truth
Veiled in the cloak of couth
No need to soften the mouth
If spouting knowledge is wealth

#uck it, before you “kick the bucket”
Of course, beat a dead horse
Faux B.O.?
I don’t think so
Or, in The End gluteus maximus will epitomize us

What color shall we be? What wavelength?

No, no need to keep love at arm’s length
Bask them in love’s wavelength

bookmark_borderHouse Of The Rising Sun

An old, traditional folk song. The origin is unknown but is believed to have originated in England or France. The song was reworked by blues musicians from the South. The first known recording is from 1933. The song was later made famous by The Animals in the 1960’s.

LYRICS
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one

My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin’ man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s on a drunk

Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I’m goin’ back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one

LYRICS
Got my eyeballs…
And note, my ears, nose and throat
You got balls
Sit n’ gloat with membrane bloat

No, I’m not in need of another hole in my head
Are you in need of another whole in your heart?
Enough said
Let’s start

I was gonna say, “this ain’t brain surgery”
But, it sure is
I was gonna say, “this ain’t open heart surgery”
But, it sure is

Judgement day for your perjury
Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars.
Go straight to purgatory
Listen to the screams. Listen to the hollers.

Got my eyeballs…
And note, my ears, nose and throat
No, I’m not in need of another hole in my head
