LYRICS
The closer I get to the ledge
The closer I get to falling… over the edge
Watch that first step it’s a doozy
Just looking over makes me woozy
Close to the edge
To which allegiance do you pledge
As for me
I’m a firm believer in gravity
The closer we get to the ledge
Precariously perched on the edge
To which allegiance do you pledge

LYRICS
Just sitting here minding my business
Grabbed by paranoid paralysis
Officer give me the remedy
To society’s tragedy
Now you’ve crossed into my zone
Why don’t you just leave me alone
One of the things I most dread
Is growing eyes on the back of my head
Why not take a real deep breath
Before you’re the cause of your own death
Now you’ve crossed into my zone
Why don’t you just leave me alone

LYRICS
The story of “Sam I Am”
I wasn’t even jamming
Noooo
I was just…
Sitting there
Discussing in a rational fashion
The events of the day
There were some big events that day
Come to be known as the tRump Roast
The arrogant boast the most
We weren’t making a sound
That could be heard
Anywhere around
When from out of nowhere
Ohhhhh no no
The Po-po
The Po-po said you gotta go
Go!
I said, “I dunno”
We were just sitting there
Exercising our civil rights
To discuss the events of the day in a neighborhood way
Nooo… we couldn’t just go
No, no, no
No go

LYRICS
It’s been said that this life I’ve been given
That this life is heaven
Livin’ in heaven
I’m livin’ in heaven
The question remains have learned to be giving
This life that I’m living
Have I been giving
This life that I’m living
Is livin’ in heaven
While livin’ this life I’ve been given
Got to keep believin’
Or well
Do you want to live in hell?
This life I’ve been givin’
Livin’ in heaven
This life I’ve been givin’
Gonna Live it in heaven

Do you know what kind of model you are
How can you expect junior goes far
As baby sees, baby does
Watch the future turn to was
As baby sees, baby does
Because….
Do you know what kind of leader you are
Teaching that love is something bizarre
Chorus
Do you know what kind of friend you are
When you apply the feathers and the tar

LYRICS
For days and days
With ease
I’m plucking petals from daisies
With ease
Plucking petals from a daisy
Getting a little dizzy
Going round and round and round
Round and round
’til there’s none to be found
Plucking petals
Plucking petals
Plucking petals from daisies
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
Plucking petals
Going round and round and round
Until there’s none to be found
Plucking petals
From a daisy
Just maybe
She’ll notice me
Just maybe
We’ll see
This might
Be love at first sight
It could happen tonight
Plucking petals

LYRICS
Awoke from a slumber
A little bit dumber
A nightmarish dream
Where I turn obscene
How am I suppose to get any sleep
With this racket going on
Turns me into a creep
When this racket’s going on
How am I suppose to get any peace
With this racket going on
Gonna force you to cease
This racket that’s going on
2. Called the fuzz
To create a buzz
No reason… just ’cause
That’s what dumb does

LYRICS
Wouldn’t ya say we resemble
How to peacefully assemble
Writing songs about freedom
Redress of grievances from the free dumb
Chorus
I had to tell the Po-po No! No!
Ya know, he didn’t know
Gay Church… Church and Gay
Bring your guitar and learn how to play
Perhaps you should dot your i’s and maybe cross your t’s
Before you confront me
Please don’t tread on me
Just because you’re walled-in
Doesn’t mean we gotta stop talkin’
While your face is turning green
The writing on the wall will be seen
Gay Church (An American Band).mp4

If ya wanna come along for the ride
Better hold on tight

LYRICS
Pink shoes
And bad tattoos
I suppose you’ve nothing to lose
Might as well pierce your tongue
If your battle can’t be won
Put another hole in your head
Then, put yourself to bed
Maybe a nose ring
Is just the thing
Or to probe
How to stretch my earlobe
I hate to say goodbye
But if you can’t answer why…?

LYRICS
Tag! Now, you’re it
You’re it and you can’t quit
From the early, early, dawn
’til you start to yawn
From the early, early mornin’
The first crack of light
To the darkest depths
In the middle of the night
Stay and play away
This ain’t got nothing to do with money
You can’t come up until you do something funny
Knock, knock
Who’s there?
Heaven’s door
Heaven’s door, who?
Heaven’s door
Should have come up with more for sure
Who knew?

This song started while I was sitting on the Courthouse wall watching some young kids play. Then, I had a divine inspiration… what if God only lets people with a good sense of humor into heaven?

LYRICS
This is fantastic
Please pardon me if you see me as being spastic
It’s just that this is sooo fantastic
My new face is made of plastic
And my, oh, my
I don’t even have to try
To smile
All the while
’cause my new face is plastic
In disguise to other eyes
The Joker
This is so fantastic
So if I’m coming off as spastic
I just want you to know it’s because this is so fantastic
And, then I started to realize instead of my face being elastic
Or worse yet of plastic
I try to get my mind to be more kind
More elastic
Less spastic
This is fantastic
It’s like magic
With a little bit of mystic
It all comes on so quick
Once you have an elastic mind
Find it natural to be kind
You find it kind

LYRICS
There is a man on parade
Living life in a charade
Don’t even claim who you are
When your compassion’s so far
I’ve learned my lesson well
Ya gotta escape hell
I guess it’s just as well
Live and the story tell
There is a child… an innocent
You wanna subject to an incident
It surely ain’t coincidence
You displayin’ dominance
Chorus
Where is a God with some mercy
Save us from our conspiracy
Our charade parade arrogance
Into the light out of ignorance

LYRICS
This place is crazy
All the minds have gotten lazy
This place is crazy
I was hoping it was just a phase
Now, I’ve got to say I am amazed
Amazed in a maze
Not just for a minute
Not just for a moment
For days and days and days and days
This place is crazy
All the minds gone lazy
What do you mean
“Think for myself”
What do you mean
You’re so mean
You want me to think for myself
If I think for myself
How could I claim you’ve got all the wealth
If I think for myself
Self-wealth
This place is crazy
You guys are ca, ca, ca, crazy
This place is crazy
All the minds have gone lazy
This place is crazy
If you expect me to think for myself
How can I claim you have all the wealth
You can’t have all the wealth
If I’m thinking for myself
Then I can see what I can be
And I can be me
Certainly
I gotta be me
I can’t help but be me
This place
As far as that goes
I thought everyone knows
This place is crazy
I’ve got to go find some fresh air
’cause I can’t find anyone around here that’s aware
So, I’m gonna step out there
And get some fresh air
See if there’s any sanity out there
This place is crazy
Hazy
