LYRICS
If this is the last time
I’m gonna have a good time
I was told when I grow old
I’m gonna leave behind my body and mind
A collision course
With mass extinction
Of course

Not gonna hide for the final ride
Take my inside outside
And spread it wide
I’m gonna spread the word that man’s absurd
Climb to the highest rung
Sung from the top of my lungs
“Oh, man. Oh, my, my, Lord”

’til they drop the curtain for our last bow
I’m gonna make certain there’s not somehow
To save some space for the human race
And ya know… enjoy the thrill of the show

The child fighter makes for a real nail-biter

Do you know there’s no more encore?

What? There’s no encore? I paid good money for this ticket!

LYRICS
There’s something wrong going on

It’s easy for me to see there’s something wrong with our authority
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills

Want the truth? It ain’t gonna happen
Liars are doing all their yappin’
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills

Public servants play the con
The misdeeds go on and on
Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills

Twisting the truth is so uncouth
Beyond recognition to tell the truth

Enough to give you chills
Make ya wanna head for the hills
There’s something wrong going on

Stretching the truth to the breaking point
Check your gun at this juke joint

There’s something wrong going on

LYRICS
There’s nothing much more that I enjoy
(Then) making you jump for joy

Moving ’round jumping up and down
Like a Mexican jumping bean
Making a smile out of any frown
Happier human being

There’s nothing much more that I enjoy
(Then) making you jump for joy

Getting down while twirling ’round
Like a pinwheel in the breeze
With moves to make you ballroom bound
A dance reflex… like a sneeze

There’s nothing much more that I enjoy
(Then) making you jump for joy

Making you move around
Jumping up and down

LYRICS
Monkey bars and skin the cat
Still feeling like kids… imagine that
Sex and hugs and rock n’ roll
No never, never ever gonna really grow ‘ole
Sure the years will take their toll
But, we ain’t really ever growin’ ‘ole

Sometimes he plays and sometimes he sings
If you cut him in half, you can count his rings
There’s many more years than what it seems
Really enjoys finding what life means
Finding “the girl” can be a fountain of youth
A day at the fair in the kissing booth

LYRICS
Can I get a men?

Knock ’em down but they keep on coming
Wild-eyed with mouths foaming
Did I mention their disease looks rabid
No rhyme or reason… God forbid!

Amen?
Barely resembles a man
Amen?
Need a moratorium… some sort-of ban

A bunch of zombies coming after me
They have no brains. That’s easy to see
When it comes to soul, none remains
Gonna wrap you up and put you in chains

Amen?
Barely resembles a man
Amen?
Need a moratorium… some sort-of ban

LYRICS
As leaves start to fall
It makes me recall
Both the old and new
Come flowing through (you do)

It’s a gift. It’s a present
Presenting my life story
From the past to the present
A flash inventory (your glory)

Started as a child
Took me quite a while
To garner our first kiss
Thank God! I didn’t miss this

The night you snuggled close
Sure could use another dose
Get intimate for a bit
Oh Lord! May it never quit

LYRICS
There’s a bad juju
All over you
You spilt your milk
Now whatcha gonna do?
Perjure yourself again and again
In this lifetime, they call that a sin
And, well…
Then, they call it… hello reality
Gonna get the best in me

There’s a bad juju
All over you
There’s egg on your face
A total disgrace
(To the Blue are you)
Hate crime all the time
In this lifetime, they call that a sin
And, well…
Then, they call it… hello reality
Gonna get the best in me

LYRICS
Duel black holes orbiting
Behavior that is fitting
Einstein wasn’t kidding
Mighty brave…
Surfing a gravitational wave

It will begin
To pull you in
Spacetime has-been

Sucking in light
Black as the night
Density’s might

Chords: G F# E / C Am Em
Recording: digital 5-track stereo

“A binary black hole (BBH) is a system consisting of two black holes in close orbit around each other.”

“Scientists announced that they have once again detected ripples in space and time from two black holes colliding far away in the universe.” The discovery comes just months after the first-ever detection of such “gravitational waves.”

LYRICS
May my soul soar
Above the Labyrinth’s floor
Flying high above
Spying the tunnel of love

Swoop down from above
Into the tunnel of love

With a bird’s-eye view
Can see exactly what to do
Flying high above
Spotting the tunnel of love

Never tire of lifting the spirit higher

From the sole soul
To the dynamic dual
Like hand in glove
Partners in love

Amiss
Ajar
The happiness bazaar
A kiss
Not far
Happiness is bizarre

Takin’ you in
Again and again
Puttin’ me out
Without doubt
When did we really begin?

The day I met you I was four
Couldn’t imagine any more
A half century to endure
Until the chance to adore

Forever gone is before
Penetrating to the core
Facts are facts… can’t ignore
You and I forevermore

As soon as I get there
It’s time to go
Wouldn’t ha know
(Can’t go slow)
Can never go slow

Is the time slippage increasing in flow

Grains in the hourglass falling fast into past

Ya know the wind does blow
Knocks me down
Rock n’ rolls me all over the ground

With time passed moving by so fast
Don’t know how long I’ll last

LYRICS
Riding on the edge of a hurricane
Watching the man-made whether vain
Riding on the edge of a hurricane
Does a sane human remain?

Wondering if I can get into the I
Wondering if the eye can get into I

Riding on the edge of a hurricane
No question whether man is vain
Riding on the edge of a hurricane

Whichever way the wind blows

Whether vain
You know… whichever way the wind blows

LYRICS
Going from pissed to dismissed
For what they missed — dismissed
Dismissed
You’re dismissed

Call Thomas, Esquire when straights are dire
Both chambers loaded, cocked… fire!
Dismissed
You’re dismissed

Order in the court. Here comes the judge
And he’s the sort that likes to hold a grudge
“Oh, no! You’re not free to go.”

I must confess you’ve no witness
If no one witnessed, case dismissed
Dismissed
You’re dismissed

Finally a chance
Justice scales balance
Celebration dance
Blind justice glance

Celebratory dance
Scales balance

Dismissed
You’re dismissed
You’re free to go, ya know?

BLIND JUSTICE GLANCE

Lady Justice — Since the 15th century, Lady Justice has often been depicted wearing a blindfold. The blindfold represents objectivity, in that justice is or should be meted out objectively, without fear or favour, regardless of money, wealth, fame, power, or identity; blind justice and impartiality.

From the album Gay Church
