LYRICS
Hey, well, ya wanted to know
Hey, well, ya wanted to know
So…
Do tell I did
My guts spilled… spilt
Who’ll do your bid
Don’t let it wilt
Put it to bed
From build to built

Hey, well, ya wanted to know
Hey, well, so here I go
So…
Parted my lips
Let the words spill… ’till
Meaning’s more than blips
Who’ll pay your bill
Meaning come to grips
Prophecy fulfill

LYRICS
I guess we’ve gotta go
Against the river’s flow
The settlers have settled on a settlement

Chorus
By settlement I mean they’re mean
From the genocide we must hide
Hide in Her spirit’s hide

Chorus

They’ll cut us down you know
Bullet versus bow
What are they thinkin’ over the color of skin?

Chorus

Since we wouldn’t behave
As their slave
Over our land… their rag… their flag

LYRICS
When you offer me money
Chips, tokens… any sort-of tips
A silent trust is spoken
Awoken, I come to grips

If by chance you get a glance
But can not hear the solution
The notion in the motion
Moves beyond circumstance

A mile of traffic with a smile
Children in the backseat keepin’ the beat
Big dogs and little dogs taking masters for jogs
The little jig and the big dance…
A musical romance

Thank You Please Accept Your Tip.mp3

Hear the whistle blowin’
Feel the train comin’ down the line

The earth does shake
The earth does quake
There’s much at stake
… a locomotive mistake

Who would save the day
If the train’s a runaway
Would you stop and pray
If the train’s a runaway

LYRICS
If you listen real easy
Then maybe
It won’t be so hard
For the chord to be heard

On the wind rides a whisper
The music kissed Her
Before you’re aware
She was already there

On the tide rides a soundwave
The music does save
Before you’re aware
She was already there

LYRICS

If you find the rain falls upon you
Kindly refrain and let it pass through
A journey to the sea is all it’s tryin’ to do
A journey to see is in store for you

If the damn dam holds the water back
Kindly maintain the natural habitat
A journey to the sea is all it’s tryin’ to be
A journey to see is what it’s showing to me

If the mad human wants to piss it all away
May the rains come awash the greed, we pray
A journey to the see will likely set us free
A journey to the see… the ebb, the tide, the flow…
Until we know

Excepting those that are dear
Whatever’s happening here
Is not clear

Pull up a seat and tap your feat
To the beat of a rock n’ roll show
Or better off yet why not get
Next to the stage’s glow

Excepting those that are aware
Whatever’s happening there
Is not clear

Excepting those in the know
Hoping we’re not to slow
To get up and go

LYRICS
We’ve been a long time at see
Searchin’ for the land of the free
Then, it finally came to me…
In the presence of intelligence
Be

Can you feel the peace
Hear the harmony
Adrenaline release
Near ecstasy

We’ve been a long time at see
Sailin’ from The End to begin
That’s when it came to me
In the presence of the essence
Be

Chorus

We’ve been a long time at see
Wailin’ to God for mercy
Then, much to Her fancy
It came to be

LYRICS
Where do we go from here
Now that we know what we know
Do you fear or hold dear
The blow of the flow?

All of a sudden the vision is crystal clear
Not a burden of mission… more a seers sear

Are we about to find out
Emergency exit only
Are we about to find doubt
Or the spirit holy?

Chorus

Will the tide roll out
Will the tide roll in
Will we scream and shout
Will we hold it in

(It’ll be no surprise
If you burn through with your I’s)

LYRICS
It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!

Ya know when you’re ready to go
It would be neighborly and nice
If you’d kindly please think twice
And, be one of those that knows
… to pull the door close

It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!

Forget about saving face
It’s time to close this case
Please be nice and think twice
And, be one of those that knows
… to pull the door close

It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!

Are you crazy
Thinking hazy
Are you out of you mind?

Are you nuts
Brains in butts
To all of logic blind?

Oh my goodness the mental illness
A threat to all mankind
Oh my heavens growing misgivin’s
When rage is all you can find

Does your hatred explode
Grey matter overload
Anger mismanagement
… understatement
As the storm clouds loom
Crash! Bang! Boom!

For crying out loud
Nemesis follows Hubris
Dag nab it! You hellish habit
Ethics and morals amiss
