LYRICS
Why is that mosquito looking at me
Doesn’t he know… I’m not that tasty
Have I turned cold blooded (extremely)
Emotionally flooded
Don’t want to turn cold-hearted
Has it already started?

Why do I cry “I don’t want to die!”
While I should be giving…
Singing praises to the living
Raising my hands high to the sky
Thankful I am I
Don’t want to turn cold-hearted
Has it already started?

Time to consider turning innards outward
I’ve missed the starting gun?
Time to enact giving it back forward
Goodbye kissed n ready to run

LYRICS
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Spittin’… smokin’… gettin’ ready to blow
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
You gotta go with the lava flow
We’ll start to get it
When She throws a fit

What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Earth quake shake you to and fro
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Might just deal the final blow

What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Pit Mother Nature as your foe
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Damn! Sure hate to see you go

Forego making a stand on a volcano
Try n’ chill down-low mellow
Forego making a stand on a volcano
Less consequences you get to know

LYRICS
I’m finding the utmost interest
In relativity
Feeling dependence on existence
Surreality
Trying to make sense
Of perception without senses
Perceive what I believe
Experience presence
Leap from “Ludwig’s Ladder”
Leave logic a tattered
Chaos theory delivery
The irony of destiny
Sixth sense third-eye I see

Spring from the last rung
Among angels in song
Soul music being sung
Time can’t be too long
In the essence of existence
Is the essence of existence
In the absence of existence
Will exist persist?

LYRICS
If everything were peaches and cream
Would you tire of the same old dream?
Do you catch more flies with honey
Or using Vaseline
If dreams are made of money
Puttin’ out fires with gasoline

If everything were coming up roses
Would you tire of the same old poses?

If your whole life was an easy ride
Would you miss a rising tide
If your whole life was an easy ride
Would you miss catchin’ high tide?

Do you wanna while-away and age
In a cage?

LYRICS
Does the gravity of longevity
Bring the brevity of identity
Into question?
The suggestion of mortality
The reality
When times are ominous
Please remember in all of us
Lives a hero with heartache
Longing for the great escape
In the time that “I am”, I’m
Going to set that hero free
In the time that “I am”, I’m
Bringing out that hero in me
In the time that “I am”, I’m
Creating destiny
You just might find
You can save mankind
Hold the thought in your mind
“Never too late to be kind”

LYRICS
Do you know what I mean
When I sing “floating down stream”?
Behave with the energy wave
… to the sea
Try to keep your head above water
Don’t ever go down for the third time
It really does matter
Living the nursery rhyme
Floating down stream
My body a boat in the dream
Embody “about” in the dream

LYRICS
Mother Nature says
It’s only a phase
The nuclear age
The good ole days
Have parted ways
Mother Nature says
It’s only a phase
Only a stage
Postmodern rage
Comin’ clean on the war machine
Funded by our ghetto scenes
The American dream going up in steam
From growing a heart that’s mean
Redeem!

The more I dream
The redeem scene
Obscene come clean
I mean the dream
No longer mean
Loving is keen
Heart is the queen
Mercy is seen
The redeem scene

LYRICS
Man, how much human
Can we endure
How much more?
Fouled land, air and sea
Haven’t we
All ’bout me
(Imagine that)
Habitat sure got hot
It’s not the heat… nor humidity
It is humanity
… or lack thereof
It’s all about the love
You see — humanity
… or lack thereof

Purveyors of music, song and dance
Let’s give ’em one more chance
Convey what we hear Her say
Mother Nature’s messenger
Know Her… be no stranger
Ensure we endure
It is humanity
… or lack thereof
It’s all about the love
You see — humanity
… or lack thereof

On the track
And there is no turning back
On the track
Lightning from the smokestack
Oh, let go! Let’s go

On the track
And the train is bearing down
On the track
Hit us like a rodeo clown

On the track
Time we all took this train back
On the track
Here we go! Citizens attack!

On track
And there is no turning back
On track
Lightning from our smokestack

LYRICS
A snake charming hippie with his hair cut long
Tried to claim he knew the song
Couldn’t really help being wrong
’cause I make them up as I go along
All of us in an extemporaneous
Experiment
I think he got what I meant

A voodoo princess said she can’t miss this
As we stood, staring over the precipice
An impromptu voodoo rendezvous
In the groove move prove the hypothesis
(can’t miss this precipice)
All of us in an extemporaneous
Experiment
I think she got what I meant

An angel of mercy appeared in the choir
As trumpets rang out for the town crier
Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye! — royal decree
You create heaven on Earth, if you desire
All of us in an extemporaneous
Experiment
I think he got what I meant

LYRICS
Don’t know if I’ve tried everything lucid
No, don’t know if I did
Super ego, ego and id
Living in their own world… splendid
Or, splendor… elevator to grandeur
Starts at the ground floor
That is for sure
Better save your soul
For your body will not endure
Talkin’bout life’s goal
Save my soul

Don’t know if life is but a dream
The surreal scene that I gleam
Too many sad folk or so it would seem
Are earthlings all on the same team?
Seems that the plant, elephant and ant
In harmony, they chant
So who’s to say we can’t
Earthlings sing… sing earthling!
Don’t know if life is but a dream
Drifting, drifting… floating upstream
