LYRICS
Red sky in the evening
Wailers’ delight
Red sky in the morning
Give wailers a fright
Learning to heed warning
She’s telling you, “Here’s a clue!”
Natural forecast is coming on fast
She’s telling you, “Here’s a clue!”
Natural forecast is coming at last

Red sky in the morning
Wailers take warning
Red sky at night
Give wailers delight
She’s telling you, “Here’s a clue!”
Natural forecast is coming on fast
She’s telling you, “Hear’s a clue!”
Natural forecast is coming at last

LYRICS
Can you run to the store
And get some more?
Wouldn’t you know
Supplies run low
Don’t want to cry
Thinking I’ll die
The depth and breadth
Of starving to death

Look at the shelves
There’s nothing there
Open the cupboard
Completely bare
Go to the pantry
There’s nothing to see
From country to city
Somebody feed me?

Cornucopia spilling
Yet, somehow less filling
Cup runneth over
Yet, I’m left sober

LYRICS
Is there any place you own
Out in the great unknown?
Did you happen to save a cave
A quasi-hermit habitat
Or some place such as that?
Further out than under a bridge
Yet/Left undiscovered by the kids
A higher path than on the ridge
Yet/Left undercover without lids
Gone reeling/realing through the ceiling
Far, far away yet at home
Far, far away the great unknown
Can you ever be alone with yourself
Ask the elf on the shelf
Can you ever be alone with yourself?
Ah, the great unknown
If you ask me
How can that be
I guess me, myself and I are we
Alone in the great unknown

LYRICS
With that look
You’d think you’d spook
On a hook
You’re a prehistoric dish
For a post-modern fish
Can you imagine this:
Swimming around
Submerged in a lake
What nature serves
Is grateful intake
Fly, dragonfly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
You’re about to die
In case you missed it
Survival of the fit

With that look
Who’d think you’d cook
Off the hook
Homo sapien’s dish
Is the postmortem fish
Can you imagine this?
I sure can
From frying pan
Into man
