LYRICS
I’m really diggin’
I’m really grooving on what you’re doin’
It’s cool, off-the-hook, you’re the bomb
This song is about trite expressions
Used trying to express my feelings for you
’cause I really love you
Yes, it’s true
I love you

LYRICS
If an angel hit your bug screen
Would you know what it means?
If an angel hit your windshield
Would you feel?

Are you familiar with the real deal
How an angel would feel
Are you familiar with the real deal
An angel is for real

You can thank God for your angels
Just don’t be satanic
And, throw this opportunity away
Forgo this opportunity today

It’s unlikely to come back another day
Don’t let is escape away
You know what to do
If an angel hits your bug screen
You don’t want it to be because you’re mean
If an angel hits your windshield
It would be wise to feel
Wiser yet to deal

LYRICS
Now, here is where I am
Here is where we are
It may appear we haven’t moved far
But, we’ve been there and back again

Now, here is where we are

I’m hoping that along the way
We learned a lesson or two
Some sort-of cumulative knowledge
That will help us gain… an edge
So, we’ll be further ahead
So, we gain an edge
Not be perched on the ledge

Here is where I am
Here is where we are
Though it may appear that we haven’t moved that far
’cause we’ve been there and back again

LYRICS
Please forget what you are doing
Can you forget what you’re doing
Forget what you are doing
There’s something more important ensuing
That is worth you pursuing
You’re undivided attention for more than a short span is required
Please, no excuse… you’re too tired
Please no excuses
And, no… you’re not being thrown under buses
It’s time we focus
Time to wake

Can you forget
For a moment
Or, longer yet
What you’re doing?
Whatever it is you’re doing
There’s something over here with pursuing
And, like it or not, it’s ensuing
Right now
It’s not the future
It’s not the past quite yet
But, if you can’t forget what you are doing
It will no longer be present

I’d like to catch it, bottle it, cork it for you
But, it’s going on… and I don’t know for how long

The sun is shining in….

The sun is shining in
On the inside
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

The sun is shining in….

Now, a new life can begin
The sun is shining in
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

As the sun sets on society
We question
“Hey, didn’t we have plenty?”
Why the suffering
On the outside
There’s no place to run
There’s no placed to hide
On the outside

The sun is shining in
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

Come on join in
Come on join in
On the inside
The smile is twice as wide

The sun is shining in

Let the sun shine in
On the inside
As the sun is setting on the outside

LYRICS
Take a look over there
Take a listen here
With a sound crystal clear
Among friends held dear

Dance is natural
It’ll make you bop and sock-hop
It’ll make you twirl
Music is magical
It’ll make you stop the stop
And, start to feel special

It’ll become your favorite spot
Make you feel comfortable being hot
When you play a song you’re beautiful
When you dance along your unbelievable
Let it be told — sold on out-of-this-world
Why not?

Come on back out, sunshine
Like I knew you would
I’m so glad you could
Happiness upon me… I feel fine
There’s no need to fear
We’re in the clear
With our only care — care
On our way there
It’s about time
And, we probably should
Thank the Lord. We’re never board
We’re in the clear
The light shines near
In fact, we’re intact
The light shines upon
So, come on!

LYRICS
I’ll have an ole fashion
Just the way I did
While I listen to ya fib

Ya said we’d be free
From sea to sea
Let it be

Strap on your spurs
Fix your bayonets
Rather the girls
Though both bring regrets

The legacy of our society
“Me, me, me!”
The legacy of our society
Breakin’ every treaty

Where the buffalo once would roam
We plowed a home
Raping the children of Mother Nature
Man, did we mature?

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

I’m whistling with you
I’m smiling at you
Irresistible
The feeling surrounds you
Quintessential
To be the Queen Bee

If you strive for the hive
We’ll do more than survive
We’ll thrive

For those who want to derail
Take our train from the tracks
Exhale
Relax

Less the swarm harm
Try to chill your will
Stand still
Don’t sound the alarm
After all, what is your aim? To tame?

LYRICS
I had this weird vision
You were in it
And, your brothers, two… too… two… too

There was heaven’s light
’round one of your head
This usually only happens
When you’re dead

Connected.
The energy to you
When I’m near you
The energy turns blue
Like an intense flame
And, I’m perfectly sane
Connected.

Ya know it’s true
That that you do
Can come back to haunt you
Ya know it’s true
That you don’t do
Can come back to haunt you

The vision… can you see?
The ghost you created and caused to be
