LYRICS
The joy is crawling in
The joy is crawling out
There’s joy all about
The refrain: in and out
The brain
Laugh and shout
A good start
Tickle your heart
After all
The more the merrier
Hear the call
The message carrier
No synonym for love
Find love within for all
The please release
Begins crawling in
Let it out
Must dust some joy about

bookmark_borderIn The Eyes

LYRICS
Look me in the eyes
There’s no surprise
It’s staring you right in the face
In this very place
It’s matter-of-fact
Ignorance backed
Fear
Meant to tear
Our very fabric
And spread like a disease
(Sick)
If you please
Quick
’til we’re all sick
Suspected to be infected
With a social disease
Since you please
Take no responsibility
For we
Thus us
Our demise I surmise
Demise by disease
Socially transmitted disease
Look me in the eyes
A baby cries. A mother dies.
Thus the fuss
You see…
Death can be deadly
To you… me… we

LYRICS
The directions say
… suppose to connect A to A
The way it’s to be
… connect B to B
If you want the short circuit
To quit
That’s it
And, by the way
Connecting A to A
Intuitively
B connects to B
Black is negative
Red is positive
Green’s neutral in between
If you want the short circuit
To quit
That’s it
Ground protection fault
It’s really not your fault
Saving this bitch
With your kill switch
’till you find the bug
Unplug
[unplug electric guitar]

bookmark_borderSenseless Consequences

LYRICS
As your skeleton’s glowing
Your brain is knowing
Should be concerning
Urgent. Burning.
Senseless consequences
Gnawing at the mind
I find… gnawing on the mind
If it matters,
They say
Resulting in the decay
Of our grey matter
Titter-tatter
Chitter-chatter
Can you hear?
Brain-eating-worm
In your ear
Can you hear
In your ear

LYRICS
Hey, Dear, please come here
Have you noticed something queer?
Disgrace to the human race
All over the place

Hey, Dear, please come here
Have you heard things sound queer?
Disgrace to the human race
All over the place
Big bigots racing racists
To last place

Hey there are you aware
Now well smell in the air
Disgrace to the human race
All over the place

Hey there how about care
For anybody anywhere
Disgrace to the human race
All over the place
Big bigots racing racists
To last place

LYRICS
If you want to play music on the street
Let the rhythm be your beat
Bo Diddly did what Bo Diddly did
Now you can dance ’round like some sort-a kid
If you’re looking for a summertime treat
Well, dance to the music on the summertime street
If you’re looking for some summertime heat
Then dance on the street to a summertime beat
Bow-tied Diddly till I die
Tie-died diddly paint the sky
Go Bo Diddly
Ain’t talkin’ squat
So why not?

LYRICS
Is it really hard to view
An other’s point-of-view
Though no matter what you do
It really isn’t you
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

Is it really hard to see
What’s in front of me
Is the question really
To be or not to be?
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

Have we all become so blind
To being one-of-a-kind
Unique is hard to find
When nothing comes to mind
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

What’s become of vision
I only see division
Truth or opinion
Our ultimate decision
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

bookmark_borderWith The Stream

LYRICS
If you deem that life is mean
And you paint a bleaker scene
No cherry nor whipped cream
You must know what it means
To be swimming up stream
But if your life’s a dream
You’re floating with the stream

Treatment of a queen
Bring war to the serene
No desire to come clean
You must know what it means
To be swimming up stream
But if your life’s a dream
You’re floating with the stream

Bring blight to all that’s green
Bring rust to every sheen
Self-conscious as a tween
You must know what it means
To be swimming up stream
But if your life’s a dream
You’re floating with the stream

Thrown a curve… careen
Out-of-control fiend
Never part of the team
You must know what it means
To be swimming up stream
But if your life’s a dream
You’re floating with the stream

LYRICS
Play with the sounds
… ’til the sounds become sound
Engineer all you hear
Make use produce footloose
Tune-in agent fortune

The beat of the feet
Breakdown on the street
The sounds are found
… ’til the sounds become sound

Traffic stops
Top Of The Pops
Sounds go ’round
… ’til the sounds become sound

Tune-in an agent of fortune
… until the sounds become sound
Sounds go round ‘n round
Until the sounds become sound sound
