bookmark_borderThe Otherside

LYRICS
It stands to reason
If the other side of the other of Earth is made of earth
Making me wonder… is the other side of living… more like earth or heaven

It stands to reason
Maybe the opposite season
But nevertheless
More or less —
Earth
(Heaven on Earth)

It stands to reason
On the other side

On the other side of Earth
What’s it made of… earth?
On the other side

No, not quite ready to ride
If it’s high tide here is it low tide there
I don’t want to arrive at the wrong tide
On the other side
If it’s high tide here is it low tide there
If so, I want to beware
On the other side

2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.

LYRICS
State Police go flying by
With their lights blazing
Makes a man wonder why
Sirens are blaring
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

Lead that led to death’s bed
Turns the living to the dead
Makes a man wonder why
Someone’s gotta die
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

Wedding of clothing with shedding blood
Brings an out pouring… an emotional flood
Makes a man wonder why
There’s a final good-bye
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

LYRICS
Constitution… Bill Of Rights… enumeration
Shed some light to end the fight… illuminated
No 1st Amendment abandonment
Say your piece on peace
Release the captive native
Wouldn’t you say you were born in the USA

Institution of incarceration… electrocution
Ask yourself why we wanna hang ’em high
Count the reasons for our killing season
The number of malfeasance
Lesions of the brain… insane in the membrane

Human’s folly… don’t like it a bit

Landfill’s filled… gonna have ‘ta quit

LYRICS
There was a farmer who had a dog
No sense in being a hog
Now give the dog a bone

You’re only going to eat the meat
Why not give the dog a treat
Yeah, give the dog a bone

We’re garbage prone
When left to our own
Devices our vices

In the gasp of a flash we’ve made more trash
Better find a real solution to all of our pollution
Like “give the dog a bone”

You’re only going to eat the flesh
What about the rest of the mess
The “give the dog the bone”

I had this crazy notion
To create a concoction — Love Potion

I had this crazy notion
To create a concoction
Love potion

A love potion
Spreadin’ from ocean to ocean

Upon suggestion
Create a concoction
Injection
Straight to the heart
Like Cupid’s arrow
And a bow… ya know?
Straight through the heart
A love potion
Can you help the love grow
Spread it from ocean to ocean
Could be the solution
To our situation
The creation
Of a concoction
A love potion

A love potion
Set in motion
Love potion

Solution to our situation
Our hell-bound self-annihilation
We need some new ventilation
It’s hard to breath
I think our hearts will seize
And our brains will freeze

A love potion

If we start to look in our heart
The soul-ution will be the potion
And the potion will spread from ocean to ocean

Just won’t quit

Year by year
They disappear
Second by second
We can’t rewind

So as long as the memory knows
Let those memories grow
And as long as our time flows
Living in the present innuendo

Avoid the crazies
Pushin’ up daisies
Entice an embrace
Of the human race
They’ll know your story
