LYRICS
Can anyone anywhere…
Tell me what we’re standing for?
From the farthest shore
To just right next door
Is this country sick
Or, can we make music?
Music sweet as honey’s
Juice of love

LYRICS
The Hunter’s Moon hovers on the horizon
Once the setting sun is done
It will be a full moon risin’
The folklore of the sky
Trying to answer, “why?”
The folklore of the sky
Understanding the part that is I
The nocturnal prey play after day
The Hunter’s moon shinning like noon
Gives light to the motion of flight
Let go. Whish. (The string of the bow)
Good night!
ABOUT THE SONG
The Hunter’s Moon is so named because plenty of moonlight is ideal for hunters shooting migrating birds in Northern Europe. The name is also said to have been used by Native Americans as they tracked and killed their prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the winter ahead. The Hunter’s Moon and Harvest Moon are not brighter, smaller or yellower than during other times of the year, but all full moons have their own special characteristics (based primarily on the whereabouts of the ecliptic in the sky at the time of year that they are visible.) The full moons of September, October and November, as seen from the northern hemisphere (which correspond to the full moons of March, April and May as seen from the southern hemisphere) are well known in the folklore of the sky.

LYRICS
The tricks with this mix
Involve staying on course
You know? When visibility is low
Trying to avoid blunt force
To hell with hail
that falls to the ground
We’ll sustain the freezing rain
And, figure a work around
Damn the don’t knows
Full speed in the head
The fix for this mix
Involves getting out from betwixt
From above… snow… ice below

LYRICS
Give praise for the moonshine
Pass on the sun’s rays (raise)
Give praise for the nighttime
Reflections from afar
Shedding light from a star
Phenomenon bizarre
Traveling as both wave and particles
Give praise for the sunshine
Bounce off the moon’s backside
Making the full moon shine fine
Giving rise to the ocean’s tide
Reflections from afar
Shedding light from a star
Phenomenon bizarre
Bringing a lifetime of spectacles
Give praise the stars do shine
Travel through vast space
To grace the crisp wintertime
Shinning down on the human race
Reflections from afar
Shedding light from a star
Phenomenon bizarre
Traveling as both particles and wave
Causing us to howl and crave
… none too soon to howl at the moon

LYRICS
As you go out in the big wild world
My thoughts are with you
As you grow from young through old
My thoughts are with you
If Ideas are too complex… if ideas do perplex
My thoughts are with you
If you feel as though you’re living under a hex
My thoughts are with you
I’d be more than willing to lend my brain
I’d be more than happy to help explain
It might even be fun… and entertain
Or, if we’re lucky… benefit humanity a bit
Whether a whale under slaughter
Or, parent of dead daughter
Whether deaf in a life of silence
Or, victim of domestic violence
My thoughts are with you

LYRICS
We’re gonna fly this thing sink or swim
Invoked my thought process
Passed beyond a whim
Gonna build this colossus
Murphy’s Law can’t win
No, never gonna stop us
We’ll never give in
Can’t pull my pork… whack my pud
Ain’t gonna fall face-flat in the mud
Pop your cork
Never a dud
Get behind us, and we’ll call you bud
ABOUT THE SONG

In the Flugtag event, contestants build contraptions and then try to fly them over the Delaware River. At the restaurant festival, cooks make adventurous dishes like Duck Tacos and fried pickles… then try to coax the crowd into becoming consumers.

LYRICS
Once upon a time the West was wild
The impact of man having been mild
It’s been quite a while
Since there’s been a wolf’s howl
Now, the West isn’t the same (no, no more)
The Western man made it lame
“Of course, you’d better shoot that horse!”
Amazing
Should of stuck to gazing not grazing, hazing, razing, phasing, tasing
’till every red man is a dead man
Burning the planet of its plants
Stripped the mines as if they’re yours
Who knows if life endures

If you’re in doubt (scream) throw it out
Don’t be afraid to turn your inside out
The angels at your destination
Are cheering in appreciation

LYRICS
The seasons are changing
And, so are you
But, that doesn’t mean
Compromising your point-of-view
naught, nil, nix
toss superfluous
You elect
The energy you project
Right is right
Throughout the nights
And, always all the days
The reality of nice musicality

LYRICS
Though the choices are vast… wide
Decide
Have a vision and make a decision
Is it in your essence to influence
A positive outcome… by acting smart
Not dumb
All the while
In fun
While not bothering to think “How come?”
Make it done
You’ll find
Making of mind
Will be your litmus test of us
You’ll find
Making of mind
Will determine your test of time

The crowd… they hear it
Building community spirit
Worldly beebop, beebop, beebop
Catch a buzz
Rise above

Why not I?
When I eye I, I see
I can be the beebop
With those rising to the top
Cream of the crop

LYRICS
Love that’s made from first aid
Live your life like you wouldn’t trade
Put yourself out… don’t be afraid
Step it up… raise your grade
Guaranteed you’ll be repaid
You weren’t meant to wade
Dive in before you fade
There was a little engine
That thought he could
He could use a little push
If you would
There was a little imagine
A thought that would
2 in the hand
Verses 1 in the bush
Understand
Imagine
Please do not resist the assist
A request for aid
Has been made
Offering heart felt help
