Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You could get lost in that
As a matter of fact
That’s where I’m at

Some sort-of myth
Of a labyrinth
Amazed in a maze
You could get lost in that
Lost in that

Getting Lost in the Keyboards
Getting Lost in the Keyboards

For days and days and days
Like a rat in a maze
Push the leaver
Leaver
Believer
Are you a believer
Pushing the leaver
Lost in the maze
Lost in the haze
Lost in that

Caught in the myth of the labyrinth
Going round and round and round
For days and days and days
Spiraling down
’till you figure out
What it’s about
That’s where it’s at
Getting lost in that
That’s where it’s at
Lost in that

LYRICS
How far?
Can you tell me how far?
To find the hole in the guitar
Lost the hole to my guitar
Now I’ve got to travel far
Got to find the whole hole
Find the whole hole

The Whole Hole in my Guitar
The Whole Hole in my Guitar

My singular goal
Is to find the damn hole
That hole gone missin’
Or are you just messin’?
The whole hole is missin’

I feel like such a fool
How uncool
Disgrace
Lost face
My whole hole has been misplaced

LYRICS
Out of the gate
At a rapid rate
Out of the bag
Bearded, toothless hag
(Cat’s out of the bag)

Caught in the crossfire
Of the insane
Flames blowin’ higher
Burnt out brain
Inflammatory story
Fallen angel’s sorry
The death of hell on Earth
Bring on heaven’s birth

Out of your rage
Out of your cage
Into the phase
That will amaze
(Phase amaze, blaze amaze)

Time to grow the know
Let go of the hate
And participate
Time to grow the know
Grow the know now!

LYRICS
In the nick of time
Can you spare a dime
Can you make reason
Can you make rhyme

In the nick of time
Can you spare a dime
Or can you see
The hypocrisy

It’s ripping at me
Gripping and grasping to see

Can we make reason
Can we make rhyme
Of our time
It is you… it is me… it is we

In The End
What’s the message that we send?

LYRICS
As the world spins around
Is time running down
Better pick up the pace
Of the human race
Set our sights high
An all out try
It’s do or die
Is de-evolution
Our only solution
May the spirits awaken

As the world spins around
Instead of falling down
Let the light be found
May the light abound
Maybe be
May be
Human nation
Cohabitation
May the spirits awaken
Set our sights high
All all out try
It’s do or die

LYRICS
Sailing down that endless stretch of highway
To my home in the sky on Promised Day

Shifting through the gears
Overcoming fears
By-passing the fool
Runnin’ on love’s fuel
Sailing down that endless stretch of highway
To my home in the sky on Promised Day

Learning to thrive
On overdrive
Always strive
To stay alive
Understand?
On the road to the Promised Land
Sailing down that endless stretch of highway
To my home in the sky on Promised Day

Together we can help pull us through

Sing what you need to sing
Bring what you need to bring
And we’ll be able to help play it through

And we’ll be there to help pull you through

LYRICS
Lady Liberty stands over our country
Blind justice, totally
When freedom is the cost
I fought the law, and the law lost

Make truth and justice the American way again
When the po-po does a no-no is what I’m sayin’
When freedom is the cost
I fought the law, and the law lost

Color the artist white or blacker
All musicians’ lives matter
When freedom is the cost
I fought the law, and the law lost

LYRICS
You better think quick
’cause it’s a trick
Sick, sick, sick
Better think quick
’cause it’s a trick

Not since “Tricky Dick”
Have we seen such a trick (or such a ….)
Pull the wool over our eyes, I’s, eyes, I’s
Better think quick
’cause it’s a trick
A sick, sick, sick trick

While taking the pulse of the nation…. (D.O.A.)
It’s a nay, nay, nay tion
A nay shame nation

Hey, hey, hey
Nay, nay nation
Damnation
Like living in hell
And, well
That won’t be for me
Will it do for you
You better look quick
’cause it’s a trick
You better think quick
‘cuase it’s a trick

When the resident idiot
Is President
We’re in the presence of the End Of Times
Yours and mine
Present in the presence of the End Of Times
Yours and mine

LYRICS
(prelude: I Meant Prelude.mp3)
The meaning is in you
Don’t let it elude you
There’s plenty you can do
To pull it through

(song: I Meant….mp3)
The answer is in you
Don’t let it elude you

The answer is in you
Don’t let it elude you
There’s plenty to do
To pull it through

Sitting in plain view
Right before you
All you need do
Is take in the view

The answers within you
Can come out
You just need believe… without a doubt

Look in your heart for a clue
The answer is within you
Look in your heart for a clue
The answer is within you

Bring the answer out
Without a doubt
It’s within you

With the eye of I
See…
With the eye of I
See what we can be
The answer is within you
Plenty to do
To bring it through

The meaning’s within you
Don’t let it elude you
There’s plenty you can do
To pull it through

LYRICS
When I hear you say
“Sure picked a nice day”
Forget it
Can’t take the credit
Get to play in nature’s way

Say it twice
The weather’s nice
The weather’s nice
… get to say it twice

Slice the pie any way
It’s a beautiful day
Get at it
Or you’ll regret it
Come outside and play

Say it twice
The weather’s nice
The weather’s nice
… get to say it twice

When you see the sky is blue
What are you going to do?

So… this is love
This is love

I’ve been waiting all my life
Tried the wife but only strife
Cuts like a knife
But, this is love

Before I get to old
Come in from the cold
And, feel the warmth of love

In demand
I’m the hand
She’s the glove
This is love

If you blink
Before you think
It’s too late
… horse is outta the gate

Chorus
It won’t be easy catchin’
Let alone trying to fetch ’em
‘ell if ya can’t
Drag a dead elephant

If you pause
Gonna expose your flaws
Give you cause
As to nature’s laws

You can lead a horse to water
But you can’t make him drink
You can teach your sister and brother
But you can’t make them think
