LYRICS
Let’s get together
You know we can
Let’s get together
Just tell me when

The fruit is ripe upon the vine
Together let’s pick it right this time

Chorus

You know when it’s harvest time
Step on the grapes and make some wine

Chorus

The hourglass fast runs of grains
We’ll make the most of what remains

LYRICS
The way you move your body
The way you jiggle and wiggle
The way you move your body
Wish for the way you swish

The way your body moves… soothes
The shapes your body makes… shakes

The way you move your body
The way you rattle n’ roll
The way you move your body
I lose all self-control

The way your body moves… soothes
The shapes your body makes… shakes

The way you move your body
The way the fabric drapes your shape
The way you move your body
From your ankles to your nape

The way your body moves… soothes
The shapes your body makes… shakes

LYRICS
It’s a hell of a bargain
… a hell of a bargain
Dancin’ and singin’
Just for the cost of your freedom

What a great deal
When they steal
Your passion to feel
What is the cost of your freedom?

What grows in your garden
Hellish or heaven
Harvest again and again
Finding the cost of your freedom

LYRICS
I have a wish
It’s not like this
What comes to mind
Is being kind

There’s no debate
A reign of hate
A little late
It’s raining hate

Vinegar n’ piss
Waterless fish
Hope you can find
How to be kind

Chorus

They’re so irate
Mental masturbate
They just can’t wait
To dish out hate

LYRICS
Here’s the problem with the thing
Have you the freedom to sing?
Dare you take a chance…
n’ be free to dance

Growing dependence on Independence Day

How can you be reciting
When they’ve outlawed reading
Sure seems their fights
Violate rights

Growing dependence on Independence Day

At times I’m at a loss
No mimes says the boss
No juggling, music or magic
… I’m getting sick

Growing dependence on Independence Day

LYRICS
You can’t let it get to you
No, you can’t let it get to you

When what is to blame is their shame
Remember the name of the game
Heal the lame and love just the same

You can’t let it get to you
That’s what they want to do
Alter your point-of-view

Chorus
… Love just the same

You can’t let it get to you
You know that they have no clue
Everyone roots you pull through

… Love just the same

Will high noon
Come too soon
Showdown duel
Of the fool
Just another full moon fool
Just another full moon loon

As the Earth spins
Nobody wins
If we all choose
Of course to lose
Just another full moon fool
Just another full moon loon

Weigh the Milky Way
Then learn how to say
Humanity’s tool
Or… stubborn as a mule?
Just another full moon fool
Just another full moon loon

LYRICS
Between the ground a blue
Is you
As long as green can be seen
You do
The ability to see
Thank you dearly

If you’re turning red
From humiliation
Please do not dread
Your illumination
The ability to see
Thank you dearly

If you’re seeing red
From aggravation
At least you’re not dead
In Hell’s incarceration
The ability to see
Thank you dearly

When I’m covered up and all is black
I hope there’s still a chance of coming back
The ability to see
Thank you dearly

Phase her with a taser
Make ’em run from your gun
Guillotine’s razor
If ya catch ’em havin’ fun
So, ya think might makes right?

Whack her with a blackjack
Treat ’em rough n’ handcuff
No cutting slack
Or “call your bluff” stuff
So, ya think might makes right?

All your rounds are spent
Hit the deck, cover, duck!

LYRICS
I’m not sure the lesson learnt
Was the lesson intended
Just because you’re wearing blue
Doesn’t mean you can do what you want to
Bringing on the blue boneheaded blues

You’re in my face
In my place
Trying to inflict respect
Systemic cyst
On the rectum ready to rupture
A corruption rapture

Come see the light at Gay Church
Church and Gay each and every day
“On your knees, Boy!” Pray!
Pray at Church and Gay
On your knees and pray

By chance
Have you heard of the Gay Church Dance?
Allow your senses to enhance
On your feet to the beat
Take your dance stance

Here at Church with no steeple
There’s no doors… just dancing people
Chorus

By chance
Are you doing the Gay Church Dance?
To the cadence of life’s romance
Get off the fence and dance

Gay — meant: merriment, as in happy
Pickup the pace increase velocity
To and fro ’til you get to know
How to go, cat, go, go, go
