bookmark_borderHara-kiri Jihad

LYRICS
I took a bowel movement when out of my lips
Irrational drip, drip, drips
Like a cruel drool
A self-disembowelment movement
Kamikaze suicide bomber
Better off proceeding a lil’ calmer….
Less you be hara-kiri jihad clad
Better off happy rather than mad
Since the point-of-view is up to you
If you don’t like your groove
Move

Unless you’re trying to prove
You’d be better off dead
Heed what the prophet said
If you don’t like your groove
Move

Trying to take God into your hands
Just goes to prove you don’t understand

Your sticks and stones
Break our bones
But our names never hurt you
And, when you pray say, “Alas, Allah, I beg you not to be as ignorant and arrogant as me, too.”

Trying to take God into your hands
Just goes to prove you don’t understand

Does the Pope poop in the woods… of course he would
Can’t you see… that joke is as old as Moses’ toes and twice as corny

LYRICS
Jesus!
Oh, my God
(ooops)
Oh, oh… how odd
To claim you as my God. My God!
We won’t be one ’till I’m done?
Guess it won’t be ’till I’m dead
That being said
Hope I haven’t made my bed
Gotta lie in it
Gotta die in it
Forgive me Lord
For I have sinned
Sinned again, again, again
What’s been has been
Has been
Now I’d love to start again
Love love to start again
Love Love to start again

LYRICS
May your light shine bright
Feeling alright!
May your light shine bright
So you feel alright
Into the night
May your sky be litter with stars
Bringing light from afar

Alright, may your light shine bright
Alright! May your light shine bright
And, your night…
Sky…
Keep you high
Night sky
Lit with light from afar
Bringing you light from afar
Littered with stars with light from afar

Sometimes in the night
The moon will redirect the light
And, it can shine, shine, shine
Make ya feel fine
Standing in the moonlight
Moonlight

I’m…
Gettin’ a moontan
Gettin’ a moontan on
May your light shine bright
Feeling alright
Get your moontan on
Feeling alright
May your light shine bright
Feeling all right, alright?

Get your moontan on
The sky at night
Littered with stars
Bringing you light from afar

Light bright, alright!

LYRICS
The sky is blue
And, the sea is, too
When you pull back your point-of-view
For the heavenly view
They say it looks like a marble of blue
Marble of blue
View of you
Marble of blue

Marble of blue
Looking like I’m one with you
Marble of blue
From their view
I’m one with you

While I’m here, I hope I can do all I can do

(ripple on the water interlude)

Taking in a heavenly view
Marble of blue
They say you’re looking like a marble of blue
Marble of blue
Just hurling through space with the human race
Will they be your flea?
Or, will they set the marble free?

Not looking long ’till we will see

(ripple on the water interlude part 2)

Junglized
Realized I’ve been junglized
When I first realized I was junglized
I was surprised

Instead of seeing through rose (colored) glasses
I realized we were just making ourselves into asses
We were looking through jungle eyes
We’ve lost clarity of humanity
Junglized
Jungle eyes

Have you realized
We’ve been junglized
Looking at the world through jungle eyes

LYRICS
Bend your mind and stretch through the stars
Send your mind and fetch through the stars

Bend your mind and stretch through the stars
Bend your mind and fetch through the stars

The message that you send
When it reaches your end
Might just be the message you receive
Might just be the message to relieve
Believe

In the end, the message that you send
Might just be the message you receive
Probably can’t hurt if you believe

In the end, the message that you send
Might be the message you receive
It’s in your will to relieve
In spite of what you believe
Believe it’s real
And, you’ll seal
The real deal

You can seal the real deal

LYRICS
Live from KingArthur.com with an important public service announcement:

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of you fine citizens out there in TV-land…
Don’t forget to tip the bartender
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses

I’d like to tip the waitresses
… I’d like to tip the waitresseses
For making us tipsy
A tip for making us tipsy

If you just showed up
Raise a cup
Here’s what’s up
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses
A tip for getting us tipsy

Now, I think I’ll walk home….
Maybe… if it’s not an inconvenience I’ll just sleep on your couch. I could sleep on the floor… you don’t need to worry… I’ll lock the door… on my out.
I could lock up?

Raise a cup
A tip to the waitresses

Don’t forget the bartender
Yeah, that’s a hard job… listening to all of our wine… ya know… we go into such detail… blah, blah, blah….

LYRICS
Who, who
The owl is on the prowl
The raptor hopes to capture
Praying for prey while the prey pray
That it goes the other way
Who, who? Is it me you see?

The nocturnal birds of prey
Say
Natural in the night
Take flight

(Howling….)
Hear the wolf howl
What do you think is in his future
For sure to ensure said future
Praying for prey while the prey pray
That it goes the other way
How’ll we live in harmony

Nocturnal mammals of prey
Say
Natural in the night
Make me his dinner, he might
Tonight he might

You might really believe it’s true
But it can’t just be true for you
From an opinionated point-of-view
What’s true for you is true for me
And it’s plain to see
True for everybody

What’s true is true
Ain’t no debating that
What’s true for me is true for you
Exact

See truly
Eyes free
Mind free
Heart free
Know truly

You will want to fly
When you feel the warmth of the sun

LYRICS
Is this interesting enough
Is this the kind of stuff
To get your attention
Give you satisfaction

Are you easily board
Like the music up loud
Like to get your head
In the clouds

Does it get your attention
Does it lead to your satisfaction

Mind bending
Thought sending
To a place beyond
In a space so fond

Not so easily amused
Like being confused
Then gaining comprehension
Through external extension
