LYRICS
I can’t wait to navigate space

I hope I see my exit before it’s too late
I can’t wait
To navigate
Space
Head at a steady rate
At any rate, going straight

How do I slow down
When there’s no friction around
None to be found
I hope I see my exit
That’s it
Before it’s too late

I can’t wait
To navigate
Some grand prix race in outer space
Through the galaxies
Heavenly fantasies
In our race through space

On my way through the Milky Way
I’ll search for intelligence
If I can just converge
(maybe some will emerge)
I heard them say
There’s none in the Milky Way
You’ve got to go further out
In outer space
If there’s any trace
Of intelligence
Or just allegiance to ignorance

LYRICS
Time is starting to slide faster a way
Day by day by day
As we collide on the ride
Spacetime continuum I know I am

Take a stroll through a wormhole

Ride the time slide
Come on and ride
Slide, slide, slide
Take a space stroll
Through a time wormhole

Once you’re sucked in
There’s only one way to win
Ride the slide
Take a stroll through the wormhole

bookmark_borderShare The Care

LYRICS
Does anybody share the care
Is anybody there
Do you care to share

Does anybody anywhere share the care
Please let me know you’re out there

Do you have a concern about the level of care
That you can see anyone anywhere share
Or is it just all wrapped up in selfish
Selfish like some sort-of shellfish
The happy clam that I am

Don’t you think it would be fair
If we all learned to share the care
Don’t you think it would be alright
If we all gained some insight
Saw the light
See the light
Be the light
“We” the light

LYRICS
Maybe there’s trouble
Sift through the rubble
Tower of Babble
Took a tumble

Who left the barn door open
’cause now we’re misisn’ a cow
Who left the barn door open
I’m havin’ trouble copin’

Chorus

Who let the cat out of the bag
Some bearded, toothless hag
Who left the door ajar
Come push it… see how far

You Can Feel.mp3

LYRICS
I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal
I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal

The act of kindness comes upon us
And for at least one day
We find a way
To be kind
It comes to mind
On Christmas Day

I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal

You can see humanity
See a human being humane
Slightly humane
It doesn’t just remain slightly
You can see humanity spreading growing like a weed
And, we’d appreciate if at least on Christmas Day
You’d find a way to say
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

On Christmas Day
I heard ’em say
I know it’s true
On Christmas Day for me and you
You can feel
It’s the real deal

I heard on Christmas Day you can feel
It’s the real deal

LYRICS
This is a soundcheck… for a reggae sort-a thing… that will be extemporaneous

We’ve made it this far
Rather combine forces and become a star
We’ve made it this far

The I in the I
And the you in you, too
We…
We can determine destiny

Or, so they say

We’ve made it this far

Combine become a star

Become the star you know you are

We’ve made it this far

Heartfelt moment
Heartfelt moment

When you sing Christmas carols in your native tongue
I feel the Earth is as one
Heartfelt moment
It’s a heartfelt moment
First, my spirit went silent
Then, it skipped a beat
When you throw out conceit…
When you throw out defeat…
Heartfelt moment

Wait a minute
No, don’t wait a minute
I feel your spirit
Not only can I hear it
I feel it
Deep within
Heartfelt moment

Good ‘ole Saint Nick
Up his sleeve, he’s got a trick
He’ll make those reindeer fly
Taking toys high in the sky
Good Saint Nick

Overcoming adversity
To try n’ make everyone happy
Good Saint Nick
Good ‘ole Saint Nick

Here’s the trick
If all year long, we just kept a lil’ good ‘ole Saint Nick
As our secret trick
As our back-up plan
To show a human
Humanity
Yeah, let’s see if we can show humanity someone being humane
If any remain?

Good Saint Nick
Keep a little in your heart
That a good place to start
Good Saint Nick
Keep a little in your heart
Maybe we’ll start

bookmark_borderUp On The Rooftop

LYRICS
[knock, knock]
I swore I heard a knock at the door
When I went to explore
I found they were no more
There was no body
Nobody was there

It was the strangest thing
I heard the doorbell ring
Thought maybe it was some carolers coming to sing
The strangest thing
When I answered the door
They were no more
There was no body there
Nobody

[knock, knock]
Who is it?

Up on the rooftop
Most baffling
Hearing the strangest thing
Like 8 little reindeer hoof
When I say little… they weren’t really that little… but compared to the roof
8 reindeer hoofs… 8 x 4… maybe even more
If ya count the one rednosed one
So I arose
Trying to be on my toes
I suppose…
Out of curiosity
I had to see
If there was anybody there
Some body
Somebody
Coming down the chimney
I had to see
’cause I’d heard
It was a tradition
And, I was just itching
To find out if this tradition was just fiction
Or, if there was just a sliver of truth
Because if it could be true for me
Maybe it could be true for you, too
So I had to see what this clutter was… this clutter of clatter
If it ’twas the spirit of Christmas
Is that no body somebody
Hard to put my finger on it
This Christmas spirit
But, I tell ya I hear it
Up on the rooftop
Yes, I suppose when I arose
I just had to look in the right place
If I wanted to see the Christmas spirit’s face
It was right in front of me the whole time
And, here I am searching high and low
At least now I know

Up on the rooftop
Why not?

LYRICS
I’m just a bland gland
I don’t understand
Just a bland gland

I don’t know
It’s hard to believe I’ve developed beyond and embryo
I don’t understand
I’m just a bland gland

Like the belly…
No not just the belly
The underbelly of the lowlyest worm at the bottom of the sea
Yeah that’s me
I don’t understand
I’m just a bland gland

Do I care if I see an atrocity
Nooooo
I just plead ignorance
My indifference passed off as ignorance
I’m guessing people will feel sorry for me
If I don’t understand the atrocity

Ho, ho, ho
I didn’t know

In a peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late

It’s not too late for a holiday treat

A package wrapped with a bow
Wrapped all nice and neat
Sweeeeeet

Wouldn’t you know
All wrapped neat and tied with a bow

In a peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late

A peppermint twist of fate
It’s not too late
For a holiday treat
Sweet!
