LYRICS
Do you know why we have a blue sky
Or why the old lady swallowed a fly
The inquisitive kind wants to know
How does the knowledge flow

Do you know why we all have to die
No matter how hard we try, try, try
The inquisitive mind wants to know
How does the knowledge flow

Where do you keep all your space
Does it fill your whole place
Baby, it might do you some good
Maybe, fire off a synapse if you could
1, 2, 3, for sure… perhaps more

Do you know why you’d stick thumb into pie
It ain’t so dumb if ya just want the plum
The inquisitive kind wants to know
How to tap knowledge flows

Do you know why we all have to die
No matter how hard we try, try, try
The inquisitive mind wants to know
How to tap knowledge flows

LYRICS
No matter how hard I might try
I can’t help but gaze in your eyes
Into our I’s
Stare into our eye
Stare into our I’s

Become aware as we stare
Into our I’s

Running down the pathway
Ain’t gonna let the day get away
No matter how it tries
’cause time stops… staring into your eyes
Stare into our I’s

Buffalo-Off-Cliff
LYRICS
The perception of a precipice
Is you’re on top of a sheer drop
Will you go splat… or will you go plop?
This getting steep is getting deep
Especially if the height gives you a fright
I’m afraid I must harp on the scarp
Less we become lemmings
Or, I don’t know… buffalo
On the edge of going over the ledge
Throwing ourselves off the cliff
No common sense… not even a whiff
To fear a sheer drop
Will you go splat… or will you go plop?
Will you puddle or will you turn stiff
Going over a cliff….

LYRICS
Leaving a tail/tale of dust
With zeal and a lust
Takin’ in what will have been
Don’t let today
Pass-away
Take it in while you can

Leaving a tale/tail of dust
No way we can rust
Takin’ in what will have been
Won’t let today
Fade away
Panoramic memory

The good thing about memory
At any age it ain’t baggage

LYRICS
Why don’t you go ahead and choose
After all what do you have to lose?
You’ve been blessed with a human mind
Please be kind… see what you can find

How can you live in indecision
That living’s more like dying
Create a synapse collision
It’ll sure be worth trying

You have to choose not to choose
Eliminating that choice
Living life is paying dues
Might as well raise your voice

What hat are you wearing
Try on your thinking-cap
Likely end up caring
And want to plot the map

Damn the torpedoes
Hell or high-water
We’re gettin’ outta here

Throw rotten tomatoes
Do what we gotta
Living without fear

Do what I got to do
To break on through

And, I’ll take you, too

I know to row/go with the flow
Fall off the horse get back on the saddle
Set sail when winds blow

LYRICS
If you keep trying to find your place in this space
Even just trying to keep place at your pace
By looking in, by digging in, inside
How are you ever gonna figure it out
Figure out out
Figure out out

If you’re lost in your own space
Trying to figure out what face
To wear
Beware
If you keep digging in
Looking in
To your inside
You’re gonna miss the ride
How ya gonna figure out out
Figure out out?

If it’s all about you
Unlikely life will ring true
But, you’ll get through
Doing all you can do
To figure out out
To figure out out
You’ve got to come out
Look out!
To figure out out

Where to begin?
Get over within
Figure out out
Get over within
Get to figgerin’ out out

Trying to get on and along
Getting over in
Figuring out out
Trying to figure out out
Gonna figure out out
Leaving no doubt

Getting it on within figuring out out

Deaf, dumb and blind to being kind

I thought she’d been put to bed
That’s when she rose from the dead

What message do you want to send
Your intent and what is meant
I’ll be your servant… just call me Sir Vent

Oh, Lord, what can I do
Who can I serve you?

Come from a tribe of scribes
No corruption. No bribes.
Just tell me what you want to
I’ll get the message through

Do what I have to, too
To convey what you say

A bugle to blow… a trumpet
Where it is wrong went

There seems to be something missing in the middle of our mission
It starts at the heart
There’s something missing in the middle of our mission
Seems to start right at the heart

Something missing in the middle of our mission
Look at that
It starts right at the heart

Guess you don’t know about the glow?
You’d think we’d know about the glow

Something missing in the middle of our mission
Ain’t feelin’ much like fishin’
They can wait to cast my bait
I already know
It starts at the heart
I know it’s with the flow
It starts at the heart
There ain’t no glow!
It starts at the heart

The glow flow starts at the heart

It stands to reason
If the other side of the other of Earth is made of earth
Making me wonder… is the other side of living… more like earth or heaven

It stands to reason
Maybe the opposite season
But nevertheless
More or less —
Earth
(Heaven on Earth)

It stands to reason
On the other side

On the other side of Earth
What’s it made of… earth?
On the other side

No, not quite ready to ride
If it’s high tide here is it low tide there
I don’t want to arrive at the wrong tide
On the other side
If it’s high tide here is it low tide there
If so, I want to beware
On the other side

State Police go flying by
With their lights blazing
Makes a man wonder why
Sirens are blaring
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

Lead that led to death’s bed
Turns the living to the dead
Makes a man wonder why
Someone’s gotta die
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

Wedding of clothing with shedding blood
Brings an out pouring… an emotional flood
Makes a man wonder why
There’s a final good-bye
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat
