bookmark_borderEnd Of The Line

LYRICS
What the heck is privilege
Do you believe you can have an edge?
Smelling all hubris inside
Draped in a cape of pride
Don’t you know
The first are the first to go
The last surpass
… at last

Up to our eyeballs in sludge
Stubborn mule won’t even budge
Trying to rule — overlord
In the kingdom of absurd

Chorus

As I gain the knowledge
The classes drive a wedge
Take the poverty pledge
And, your bets hedge

LYRICS
Help! I heard you call my name
How can life ever be the same?

You brought me into this world
Might as well stay ’til I checkout
I rot as I grow old
Gotta fight to win this bout

Chorus

Sooner or later we’re all going to die
Later not sooner is how I’m going to try
The next time I see ya… I’d like to say “hi”
Beats tears and fears of saying “good-bye”

LYRICS
The smile on your face
The loving embrace
It’s heart warming
Enduring

When I began to figure it out
I was just a little sprout
Couldn’t help but to laugh and grin
If I could, I’d do it over again

Then as I started to grow
Wasn’t hard for me to get to know
Taking time to smile with you
Adversity we’d get through

Time goes by and I grow old
Hopefully when my story is told
It’ll bring a smile to your face
Remembering the time we enjoyed in this place

There’s been a natural (nature) release
Have a… won’t you… won’t you please
Have a nice day

Flourishing flora and fauna fulfill
I believe… I believe I will
Perceive… I will do it today

The sun came out
The sky turned blue
Good cheer’s about
How about you?

Happening supernatural release
Have a… won’t you please
Please have a piece/peace
Just the place I love to go
Hearts and souls overflow
The kind-of show ya wanna get to know
Reap the seeds you sow

LYRICS
This 2-D picture just won’t do
Want to add depth… get 3-D with you
The length will get board
The width… two notes of a chord
Find harmony with me… 3D
Add me and I’ll be 3-D with you
Three dimensional
Intentional unconventional

When you wiggle in a line… that’s fine
And, on the insides of your sides… love resides
But, I’ve found… I love to find your mound (love to have found your mound)
Length, width and depth
Delight in the height
That 3-D view
Wanna get 3-D with you

Going in deep
No slumber, no sleep
Makin’ that three dimensional leap
No depth without steep
Going to climb that mountain
Of fortune and grin
Going in deep, again

LYRICS
What is meant by “what is in your basement?”
Is it hell in your cellar
What is meant by “what is in your basement?”
Is it hell in your cell, or….
Carry on with your purple crayon

The torment of your basement
The toys in your attic
The confinement of your basement
Making your mind sick
Carry on with your purple crayon

Inspired by Sybil — “The personalities make Dr. Wilbur a Christmas card, but Sybil made everything purple, a color that frightens Peggy. Dr. Wilbur hypnotizes Vickie and asks about the purple. Vickie relates a memory of a time Sybil’s mother locked young Sybil in the wheat bin in the barn. Thinking she was smothering, Sybil used her purple crayon to scratch on the inside of the bin so someone would know she had been there.”

LYRICS
I don’t want you to go
I don’t want you to stay
And, that’d be OK on any other day

No silent treatment
Nor irate rant
Fear that you can… fear that you can’t

Woke up this morning
The sun was gone
It wouldn’t be long ’til you came along
The sky goes dark
As you embark
Love charade raining on my parade

LYRICS
The worms squirm
As you go insane
Infestation of the brain
Worms squirm
Your turn to learn
Infestation of the brain
Going insane (He’s going crazy. Ain’t it plain to see?)
Now there’s nothing to gain… everything to lose
What will you choose?
The worms squirm
As you go insane
Infestation of the brain
Worm of the ear
Now it’s all you can hear
The worms crawl in as you begin
The worms crawl out as you find out
The meaning of doubt
The worms crawl in. The worms crawl out.
Won’t be long ‘fore the flies play pinochle on your snout
No doubt
The worms squirm

LYRICS
You might think it’s easier to hide on the darkside
But you might wake up beside the fried
Will you realize… you’ve died
Should have tried to reside on the rising tide
Ride the tide to the bright side
’cause you don’t wanna know the shadow
No… you don’t wanna know
Slide past the snide to the bright-side
Don’t let pride break your stride
Search far and wide for the outside
And, you’ll reside on the bright-side
Beside the denied to help guide
To the bright-side
Step into the light
Beyond the blight of might
You might… find insight
Excite! Ignite! Invite outright upright

LYRICS
If you’re board, why not go searching for the Lord
They say, “It’s alive”
Into the hunt let’s dive
They say, “Christ the Lord has risen today”
Let’s search until we find
If that’s what they had in mind
Let’s search until we find
Or ’til our eyes go blind

Are our I’s already blind
He’s not the kind you can wind
He’s not the kind you had in mind
I’ve a suspicion he’s risen
Now on high… listen
A titled peer of the realm
A champion of morals at the helm
Come see the deity… they say he’s in you… they say he’s in me

LYRICS
Ladies and gentlemen
For your listening pleasure
All the way from outer space
The human race
They float around a star they call the sun
Fighting over how peace can be won
Even though the race is one

Their ladies aren’t very ladylike
Acting more like the Third Reich
And the gentlemen aren’t gentle at all
Only a matter of time until an uncivil civilization will fall

So if you like the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard
Have you heard the human herd?
As for me, theirs is too much pain and agony
Spending their days trying to see
How much destruction there can be
I’m looking around trying to hear if a sweet sound can be found
Ladies and gentlemen
For your listening pleasure?
I’m not sure you can endure

Row: To take part in a noisy quarrel or disturbance.

LYRICS
Getting in a bout over what it’s all about
At any rate trying to agitate
Trying to combat where we’re at
Wow! Getting in a row over how
No time to quarrel about what’s immoral
Woah! We already know
No need to fight about what is right
’cause no good will come form trying to spite
After all, doesn’t it seem like we’re on the same team
We’re all part of the worldwide scheme
On the same side for our Earthly ride
And, well… we don’t wanna end up in hell
Better begin trying to get into heaven
Time to get along as we get along
’cause we won’t be ’round for very long
Life’s too short to spend in International Criminal Court
See our tragedy in the ICC

LYRICS
Oh, my, my
Someone told me we’re all going to die
And they don’t why
Wow! They don’t even know how
Shot through the heart or a poisonous dart?
Probably not… more likely from something we caught
We should be searching for a panacea for diarrhea
Or a solution for air pollution
Millions dying every year
Yet, no one’s developed a fear
Oh, my, my
Kneel and pray to the sky
As to why humans deny, deny, deny
The things we do killin’ me n’ you
Save us from ourselves
It ain’t no gnomes or elves
Save us from ourselves
Save us from us
Before we throw us under the bus
