LYRICS
It goes in one ear and right out the other
You growing tatters in there?
It goes in one ear and right out the other
Or, are you unaware
Do you even care
If it’s in error
It goes in one ear and right out the other
Hear what’s goin’ on here?
Sister, brother…
Friends and neighbors lend me an ear
It’s very clear
Truth’s drawing near

LYRICS
What do you know about that?
Sly fox writes the rules in the rabbit habitat
Chorus
As for man, do you know
What is our part (2) All if and but (3) If he even tries
In Mother Nature’s traveling sideshow
How far will we all go
Astray at heart (2) With glutton gut (3) With mesmerize eyes
In Mother Nature’s traveling sideshow
What do you know about that?
The King Of Beasts takes least compared to our feast
Chorus
What do you know about that?
The vulture only fine dines on the afterdeath of culture
Chorus

This song was inspired by a fox living in the backyard, the rabbit that use to live in the backyard… and, a turkey vulture flying overhead. (We don’t have a lion. I just added that in for fun.)

LYRICS
Time to plug in
To what’s happenin’
Time to turn on
To what’s goin’ on
Time to tune in
Focus us… listen
Folks… us… reason
“Keymaster, I’ve forgotten the password”
Think faster… the word is my sword
Can’t fool Zuul?
The master of the Destructor distractor
Would you believe… there’s nothing up my sleeve
Wa-lah
Bring on the laughter
Haha
Slaughter with laughter
The word is my sword

Vinz Clortho the Keymaster of Gozer was a demi-god and loyal minion who obeys The Destructor, and possessed Louis Tully in Ghostbusters. Vinz is assumed to be male because it is known as the Keymaster, and possessed a male host instead of a female host. Also, it has noticeably longer horns than Zuul, the Gatekeeper, who is believed to be female. Vinz Clortho was worshipped by the Sumerians and Hittites in 6000 BC, alongside Zuul and their master.

How can we do it
If we don’t try
Give up and quit
Or reach for the sky
We can do anything
If we try
Someday we’ll touch the sky

LYRICS
Basking away
Basking all day
In the glorious sunshine
The reign feels fine
Writing a song for you
Seems the least I can do
Basking while I play
Strumming and singing, too
Let it reign with the grain
Let it reign — our refrain
Let it reign again and again
Let the sunshine in

Lookin’ for something to get me through
Wonderin’ if something’s gonna be you
Can’t you see
You move me
Lookin’ for something to get me through
Wonderin’ if something’s gonna be you
I’ve a hunch
You’re an in the clutch crutch
Lookin’ for something to get me through
Wonderin’ if something’s gonna be you
Never lonely
So long as I can be

LYRICS
There’s a river of knowledge flowing by
Acknowledge. It never runs dry
Take a drink… give ‘er a try
Acknowledge. It never runs dry
Some drink deeply from the river of knowledge
While others perch parched
Quagmire. Quandary. Parked or a lurch?
Can ya dive from your ledge
Into the river of knowledge
There’s a river of knowledge flowing by
Acknowledge. It’s never gonna die
Take a drink… give ‘er a try
Be a dredge? Or, learn to fly
Some drink deeply from the river of knowledge
While others perch parched
Quagmire. Quandary. Parked or a lurch?
Can ya dive from your ledge
Into the river of knowledge

Non-lexical vocables in music
Non-lexical vocables, which may be mixed with meaningful text, are a form of nonsense syllable used in a wide variety of music. A common English example would be “la la la”.
Non-lexical vocables are used in Blackfoot music and other Native American music, Pygmy music, the music of the Maldives and Irish Music, Highland Scots music. Vocables frequently act as formal markers, indicating the beginning and end of phrases, sections or songs themselves, and also as onomatopoeic references, cueing devices, and other purposes. — Wikipedia

LYRICS
The pain of falling on your ass
Hopin’, prayin’ it will pass
Slippin’ on the ice ain’t nice
No satisfaction from the lack of friction (no traction)
The experience of the fall
Didn’t really hurt at all
In fact, it was only the impact…
The End of my end
The pain of falling on your ass
Hopin’, prayin’ it will pass
Before the lure of the door shall entice… think twice
Jack falls down and breaks his crown
… and Jill comes tumbling after
A total disaster
A total dis-assed-her
(repeat until
The End of my end)

Ya know we all belong
Dancing and singing along

LYRICS
Gonna meet ’em at the crossroads
Shadow forebodes
Takin’ the guitar
Crusade bizarre
Gonna see ’em… not gonna sell ’em
What will be the toll to keep my soul?
No matter our burden
No matter our loads
Soul’s not for sale
Nooooo, can not sell
Even if we ain’t Eden’s
… it surely beats hell
Gonna meet ’em at the crossroads
Not gonna give in
#uck Satan’s sin
There ain’t (no) concedin’
Plain enough… easy to tell
Even if we ain’t Eden’s
… it surely beats hell
If ya gotta wrestle the devil
Better wear a righteous cape
’cause when you’re messin’ with evil
Your soul might not escape
Still…
If we ain’t Eden’s,
… surely beats hell’s
Ascend from the Prince of Darkness
Confess hell is a mess
Rise up from the weasel conclave
No longer Beelzebub’s slave

LYRICS
What kind of fool
Wants to rule the gene pool
King of the world
Whorled unfurled hurled
Into reality
Whorled unfurled hurled
Totality. King of the world
Brutality. King of the world
Man against man
I don’t understand
Inhumane human
Grand stand on the grandstand
Battle to the bottom
Go get ’em got ’em
People dying to get into heaven

LYRICS
I’m wondering if love comes in degrees
“Love you more… that’s for sure!”
Come a little closer. Give me a squeeze
“Love you more… that’s for sure!”
Where does it start? Where does it end?
The difference between lover and friend
Do the degrees just tend to blend
Can it bend to offend… unfriend?
I’ll give you warmth so you don’t freeze
“Love you more… that’s for sure!”
Lift you up like a warm summer breeze
“Love you more… that’s for sure!”
