bookmark_borderDevil’s Stew

LYRICS
Cookin’ in devil’s stew
What’s a poor soul to do
Before two-twelve’s in view
I’d jump if I were you
Unless you want to share it
With potatoes and a carrot
Perhaps it’s time to cut ties
Forego do or dies

Under ole satin’s spell
Cast at a wishing well
Should have thought before
Careful what you wish for
Joined the zombie brigade
Forever casting shade
Perhaps it’s time to cut loose
Head out of hangman’s noose

LYRICS
Been here before
You abhor war?
I really don’t know where to begin
Man upon Man again and again
Definin’ sin

Still back for more
Not enough gore
I really don’t know where to begin
Man upon Man again and again
Definin’ sin

It reigns the poor
The same ole’ tour
It rips and roars
We have no more more
(no more)
I really don’t know where to begin
Man upon Man again and again
Definin’ sin

bookmark_borderCryin’

LYRICS
Sitting on the edge of the world
Spinning round
Watching modern civilization
Falling down
Before their time
What a crime
Are you cryin’
I know I’m….

Sitting on the verge of deep space
Spinning round
Watching the human race
Coming down
Before their time
What a crime
Are you cryin’
I know I’m….

Shout out about the situation
Going round
Watching the population
Winding down
Before their time
What a crime
Are you cryin’
I know I’m….

bookmark_borderTigers Holler

LYRICS
The story that I bought was flimsy
Didn’t come with a warranty
The verdict that they wrought “not guilty”
Doesn’t come with a guarantee
You can bet your bottom dollar
Grab her toe and tigers holler

Facts and truth are bought and sold
That story’s growing old
Can’t believe half of what you’re told
Reality’s harsh and cold
You can bet your bottom dollar
Grab her toe and tigers holler

Are your gods of happiness stingy
A smile we seldom see
If your outlook’s looking dingy
Clear to where you want to be
You can bet your bottom dollar
Grab her toe and tigers holler

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Catch a tiger and let her know
If you holler, let her go
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe

You can bet your bottom dollar
Grab her toe and tigers holler

LYRICS
There’s something I’m really dying to know
If you don’t go down fighting
Do you go down slow
Do you slowly fade away
Wade in the river Styx
Unconscious of day-to-day (today)
While stuck betwixt

There’s something I’m really dying to know
If you go down fighting
Do you go down low
Do you slowly fade away
Wade in the river Styx
Unconscious of day-to-day (today)
While stuck betwixt

There’s something I’m really dying to know
If you give up enlightening
Will you lose your glow
Do you slowly fade away
Wade in the river Styx
Unconscious of day-to-day (today)
While stuck betwixt

Breezes blowing
The streams flowing
Knowing growing
Sing!
Walk to the ledge
Look over the edge
And pledge

Waters streaming

Knowing growing
Sing!
Walk to the ledge
Look over the edge

Crossroads forking
Future’s lurking
Growing knowing
Sing!
Walk to the ledge
Look over the edge
And pledge

LYRICS
Look. Look in my eyes and you you will see
While you look in
I look out
If you don’t know who you are
Guess you can’t go very far
Once you reroute your doubt
Come look out

Look. Look in my eyes and you you will see
While you look in
I look out
Until aware of where you are
Hard to shine like a star
Once you find out what you’re about
Come look out

Look. Look in my eyes and you you will see
While you look in
I look out
Sit and stare as if you are
Finding it all too bizarre
Taking it in and not without
Will seeds sprout?
Look. Look in my eyes and you you will see
While you look in
I look out

LYRICS
You can’t call this normal
You can’t call this right
No way for a mammal
To make it through the night
(Alright!)
Call of the wild
A country mile
Coming on a while
Will the rank and file
Ever find delight
(Alright)
Call of the wild
The meek and mild
To the front of the lien
The thirst for first
Has run out of time
Call of the wild

LYRICS
Am I invisible
And is it possible
Can you hear me
Can you see me
Am I body free?

Or is that possible
Can you feel me
Go right through me

Am I virtual
How is that possible
Can you touch me
Is there much me
Am I body free?

LYRICS
The way it comes
The way it goes
As if no one knows
(No one knows)
The way it creeps
The way it seeps
Digging in real deep
(In real deep)
The monsters and their ghosts
Infiltrate their hosts
They love to hide in your pride

A silent scream
A streak of mean
It’s all a bad dream
(Halloween)
Under your bed
All turns blood red
It’s all in my head
(In your head)
The monsters and their ghosts
Infiltrate their hosts
They love to hide in your pride

We will find out
What it’s about
No, there is no doubt
(Is no doubt)
Out the devil
All that’s evil
Set your free will free
(Free freewill)
The monsters and their ghosts
Infiltrate their hosts
They love to hide in your pride

Was it but a dream
Fragments… all that I can see

Release a conscious stream
Stream of consciousness

LYRICS
Once upon a dream
I came upon a scene
A serene sublime time
Wishing wells in pastels
Taking shape in landscapes
I’ve outgrown fate

Further down the road
Slip into 4-D mode
I can see beyond me
Wishing wells in pastels
Taking shape in landscapes
I’ve outgrown fate

Right has gone and left
And left is not all right
The deft shine on the light
Wishing wells in pastels
Taking shape in landscapes
I’ve outgrown fate

LYRICS
Bring on some brand new future
I’m in need of something new
Sing of times grand
When love is pure
The time is now
Grow to grew
The time is high
Fly to flew

Show shapes of things to come
Please lead us to the view
Show us the stakes
Of leaving…
Love undone
(Shape of things to come… love left undone)
The time is now
Grow to grew
The time is high
Fly to flew

Raise up the curtain of certain
I’m in need of something knew
Bring on the time of human
When love is true
The time is now
Grow to grew
The time is high
Fly to flew

When the music’s pumping
Hips begin to sway
Once the hips are pumping
The band will play and play
The band will play and play
The band will play all day
Into the night
Under fading light
In the spotlight
… of romance
Dance, dance, dance

Now that we are sweating
Must be on our way
Know there’s no regretting
With the band play
As the band plays all day
The band will play all day
Into the night
Under fading light
In the spotlight
… of romance
Dance, dance, dance

LYRICS
An unimaginable heat wave
Coming to our age
Say it’s all the rage
Hear the critics rave
“It’s hot — heat wave!”
(It’s to die for… and so much more)
Heat wave

Man will bake his cake of earth
Curse the land of his birth
No way to behave
Heat wave… wave… bye-bye… don’t cry

Man demands it’s a must
We will all return to dust
Man commands The End of Days
Damn demand won’t change ways

This song was inspired by the world’s largest life saving agencies (U.N. humanitarian aid agency OCHA and the International Federation of Red Cross) saying neither they nor humans can adapt to climate change in time. The lifeguards cannot save you — Extreme Heat: Uninhabitable Within Decades. “We don’t want to dramatize it, but clearly the data shows that it does lead towards a very bleak future,” said IFRC secretary-general Jagan Chapagain.
