LYRICS
Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill

Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill
Downhill
Still, until…
We gotta climb oh so high
Still, until…
We must get by
Let’s head to the sky

Once we climb the mountain, it’s all downhill

The sky opens up and dumps it’s rain
Dumps it’s reign
Let it fall over the fool
As we climb up, let the love shine down
Let the love be found

All downhill
Using freewill
All downhill
Using freewill
We’ll pray to do what’s right
You know it’s in sight
Let is rock and roll downhill
It’s all downhill
Let the rock roll
Let the rock roll downhill
And, we will instill
The will of living
And giving
Until the last drop
Giving non-stop

LYRICS
I am alive!

I’m alive
Come to life

I think I will arrive
I’m alive
I’ve arrived
In this place in space
Given birth on Earth

I’m alive
So happy to arrive
Given birth on Earth
I don’t mind havin’ a mind
At all

Not sad
Quite glad
You are here, too
You, too
Given birth on Earth
So glad you’re alive
And we can arrive
We have arrived
Given birth on Earth

So glad
No reason to be sad
’cause I’m alive
Think I can arrive
Given birth on Earth

LYRICS

Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?

The saddest thing I’ve ever seen…
Is Shoudy sailing in a U-haul truck
What the %uck?
Life gets obscene
Know what I mean?

Don’t hesitate
Before it’s too late
Tempt fate
Go irate
Set ’em straight

Come on back, Jack!
The best crib to ad-lib
Music, dancin’ shakin’ the shack

Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?

LYRICS
How can we be totally free if we destroy our destiny?

Can you see through the tree
’cause it’s bothering me
Hopin’ it’s just temporary
’cause how can we be free… totally free… if we destroy destiny?

Can you see through the tree
’cause it’s bothering me
It’s coming to me clearly
If we can see through the tree, we’re destroying our destiny
Can’t be free if we destroy destiny

Sylvania can it be we’re in atrophy
I appear to be alone in knowing the causes of ozone
When you’re driving a car burning ethanol, you’re not burning it all
Blowing holes through trees
’till it dies… it ceases and you can see through to the sky
When the leaves cease
Makes me wonder how we can ever be free if we destroy our destiny

ABOUT THE SONG
B Bm

124 BPM / 16 Beat #2

A song about how ozone pollution is destroying our destiny. The “green” ethanol in gasoline creates ozone that is killing all the trees (and our lungs.)

LYRICS
Here it comes!
Add up the sum of the sum of the sums
Here it comes

Here it comes!
It comes
Will come like a drip, drip, drip
To the tick, tick, tick-tock
Of the clock
Will it walk the walk
Just talk the talk
Talk the walk walk the talk?

Well, do you know
Will it flow
Will it usher in the gusher?
Here it comes!

Here it comes!

Will it rush right out
We’ll we find out
When it’s not quite
It won’t quit
Will it just keep coming like a comet
Through the atmosphere
Do we have something to fear?
’cause here it comes!

Here it comes!

Hope it’s bringing fun
And, then some
’cause there’s nowhere to run
Here it comes!
Like the light of the sun
I yearn that it won’t burn
I am hoping that it will shine so fine
Like a light divine

Here it comes!

Gonna usher in the gusher
Gonna know the flow
It’s about
It’s about to spout
It’s about to spout out
Here it comes!

LYRICS
Live from KingArthur.com with an important public service announcement:

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of you fine citizens out there in TV-land…
Don’t forget to tip the bartender
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses

I’d like to tip the waitresses
… I’d like to tip the waitresseses
For making us tipsy
A tip for making us tipsy

If you just showed up
Raise a cup
Here’s what’s up
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses
A tip for getting us tipsy

Now, I think I’ll walk home….
Maybe… if it’s not an inconvenience I’ll just sleep on your couch. I could sleep on the floor… you don’t need to worry… I’ll lock the door… on my out.
I could lock up?

Raise a cup
A tip to the waitresses

Don’t forget the bartender
Yeah, that’s a hard job… listening to all of our wine… ya know… we go into such detail… blah, blah, blah….

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If we all stand and dance
We might all stand a chance

You might think you can sit in your seat
And, dance
Well, if you do
And, you can sit and through a fit
That’s you
But, if we all stand and dance
We might stand a chance

As the times get tougher and tougher and rougher and rougher
You might even call it ugly
There’s a light you can see
Come with me
And, make me we
We’ll dance
Because if we all stand and dance
We might stand a chance

Dance is a spiritual romance
It can take us higher
Love is in the dance
There’s romance in the dance
If we all stand and dance
We might stand a chance

We can get together with our energy
And, you and me become we

We’ve only got so much time on this Earth
From when you’re dead
Back to the time of your birth
If you want to make those days pay
And, be on your merry way
If we all stand and dance
We might all stand a chance

What do you say we pick this up a little bit maestro?

(up the tempo)
