LYRICS
Better strap your six-gun to your side
Grab your spurs! Come on let’s ride
This outlaw’s gotta a guitar
Wants to push the envelope far

Yernin’ for a wild, wild western

Better double-down on ammo
Nab some jerky! We gotta go
It’s time the pick hit the guitar
Shinning like a sheriff’s star

Yearnin’ for a wild, wild western

Play ’em some alternative that they don’t know
Gonna put on a psychedelic country & western show

LYRICS
Walking through the tall grass
Feeling a breeze blow past
Start a wonderin’
How the breeze does tease
I can’t see it… touch or taste
Yet, I feel it… blowin’ ‘cross my face
Like some sort-a “is” quiz

What is it you mean by existence
… sensing God’s presence?
Start a wonderin’
How the we’s can be’s
I can’t see Her… touch or taste
Yet, I feel Her… blowin’ ‘cross my space
Like some sort-a “is” quiz

LYRICS
Rather be your (naive) idiot
Than Kettle callin’ Pot black
And as a matter of fact…
The bit about
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
Mental aptitude reading dire

Find the passageway
Then, you can say
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
Find the passageway
Then, you can say
That ain’t the way this cookie’s gonna crumble

Rather be your (silly) fool
Than hypocritical tool
And when you get down to it…
About the bit
“I am out of the frying pan
And into the fire”
Mental aptitude reading dire

LYRICS
When I hear them say there is no doubt
Yet, I see a puzzle piece (they’ve) left out

I struggle through the muddle
Baffled n’ puzzled
Gotta make the hole whole

When I hear them say there is no doubt
Yet, it’s plain to see… they dunno what they’re about

When I hear them say there is no doubt
It should make ya scream… it should make ya shout

LYRICS
Would you like to come in from the cold
Slip into new as you shake-off the old
Comforting in knowing
Ever-beginning flowing

Come on in and get warm
Let out the fear you warn
Come on in and shake-off
Fill your heart with enough

Would you like to come in from the cold
Slip into new as you shake-off the old
Comforting in knowing
Never-ending loving

Welcome! Come into the new
Shake-off… slip out of cold old
Comfort in the knew view
So much “behold” to be told

LYRICS
Do you find it compelling when a cat stalks a mouse?
Do you find yourself watching the burning of a hosue?

Beauty is the I of the beholder

Not a matter of being bolder
Not a matter of growing older

Do you find it compelling when you watch an arrest?
Then, on the other hand… are you willing to witness?

Before going to be… watch this
There goes a piece of JFK’s head
Watch the train wreck
What the heck

Beauty is the I of the Be Holder.mp3

ABOUT THIS SONG
C / Cm

Recorded on the night of July 7 and early morning July 8, 2012. It is the second song for the album about the meaning of life called Baby Formula. The first song, In God We Trust, was about the flawless reproduction of humans; however, sometimes something goes wrong and genes are flawed. Why? For instance, some people are colorblind, while other “normal” people choose not to see.

LYRICS
Do you want to bet your life
Guess you already did
Before it was said
You’re not immortal
You’re dead

When you pass by
Will you wave
Say hi?

Or, will you choose to lose
Doubt you’ll float
With that kind of dream

Senior week
Senior weak
Bring on the meek

The Day
The First. The Last.
The day the last is past

The Thinker Museum
Outside the Rodin Museum

written and recorded while sitting under The Thinker statue at the Rodin Museum in Philadelphia, PA

Now, can you tell me
What you think of that?
Spoiled child… raised a brat
No offspring should ever see
Such a bastard… filthy rat
Glad to see my child will be
Free from ignorance
No need for pity
Free from arrogance
What do you think of that
The thought of ought
And, then to act

Tell me, Rodin, what do you think of that?
Natural beauty

LYRICS
The magnitude of the pure attitude
Is quite refreshing
A pleasant sensation beyond imagination

You’ll pull through a good mood
It’s elevating
From the depths of within you reach in
Bring out the good and fill the hole in with soul food
A feast and party that lifts the spirit
People far and wide can hear it
It rolls like a tide
Flies like a bird
A beautiful sound for all to be heard

Gotta love the magnitude of your attitude
Omnipresent without being rude
No, no privacy violation
Just a lovely sensation
Like an adolescent footloose and fancy free

The magnitude of the pure attitude
Untainted by lust or lies
No weather, just clear skies

The magnitude of the pure attitude
Untainted by lust or lies
No whether, just clear skies

LYRICS
Lookout for the fallout from the fallout
Bits and pieces falling to the ground
Drips and drabs spilling all about
Killed all the pity in humanity

When we drop a bomb, it won’t be long
’till that butterfly’s wings brings these things
Back near me via the chaos theory

Lookout for the fallout from the fallout
Expectations falling all around
Drips and drabs splattered all about
Filling every nook and cranny of insanity

As the fallout rains down
Our river banks overflow
Causing fallout from our fallout
Now, our disaster chain reaction
Has spiraled out-of-control
Shifting Mother Nature’s position from neutral
Shedding her princess gown
For the garb of the undertaker
We don’t want to come to know
The consequence of our devastation

Get your Uh Ha
And, thump ’em over here

ABOUT
What if everyone got their best out?

Get that part of yourself out that makes you say “Uh Ha!” Then, band together with everyone else doing the same thing.

A FUN PART OF THE EXPERIMENT
This was our first time using a voice sample on a Casio Workstaion WK-500. Additional vocal tracks were recorded using a Roland Boss Digital multi-track.
