LYRICS
These symptoms are confussin’
Can’t figure my head from my tail
While all the while I’m oozing
On my knees, to no avail
Don’t ask me
What’s the matter with me
If I knew
Would I be asking you?

These symptoms are less than amusin’
Dumbfounding me to no avail
While all the while I’m loosing
Oh why won’t what ails sail?
Don’t ask me
What’s the matter with me
If I knew
Would I be asking you?

It’s starting to come through
I’m starting to get a clue
The frailty of humanity
Inevitability of mortality
Exactly
What’s the matter with me
Is that what’s ailing you, too?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Hey! Wait just a minute
… you mean I’m already in it?
All the time already been
In the in
I just now figured it out
If you can’t find the easy way out
Do you know what I’m talking about?
Are you trying to tell me
To see “obviously”
All this time I have been
In the in?
Easy! All this time
It’s been inside of me
No doubt
The easy way out
Is inside of me

LYRICS
All is a stage
C. A. G. E.
Come out of the cage
See what it is to be
Come out of the cage
Out of your cage
All is a stage
C. A. G. E.
It’s that easy
They say all play
Come out of the cage
Onto the stage
C. A. G. E.
It’s so freeing
Cage free is for me
In my being
Out of the cage
On the stage
(All is a stage)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Am I getting hard
Heart’s grown scarred
Been happening ever since
I lost my innocence
Am I growing cold
As I’m growing old
Been happening ever since
I lost my innocence
Turning back the page
To an early age
Make the decision
To go pre-cynicism

With a slip of the tongue
I’m getting young
Been happening ever since
I found my innocence
If you want to engage
Forget your age
Be happening ever since
You found your innocence
Turning back the page
To an early age
Make the decision
To go pre-cynicism
Turning back the page
Back to page one
Page one won

LYRICS
Dig down through the vowels
(Dig deep… deep seep)
And grab your “I”
[Jack, I’ll buy an eye-for-an-eye]
Ohhh how about U
A men
E z
An I
For an O U
Sometimes Y?
(I gotta ask
Behind the mask
Sometimes why?
Why sometimes why?)
Deep down in the bowels
Of my vowels
Deep down in the vowels
Of my bowels
I, I, I…
Poke me in the I
Poke my I out
Deep seep out of my I

LYRICS
The fear of fear
Phobiaphobia
Does it get ya
Is it near
Have I realized
I’m paralyzed
Out on the ledge
Overlooking the edge
Get a grip
Stiff upper lip
The fear of fear
Phobiaphobia
Encyclopedia
Of the queer
Out on the ledge
Overlooking the edge

The more I know
The more I know the less I know
Have know fear
Of the unknown
Cover blown
Out of the closet
Out of the dark
Moves the farthest
Beyond
Embark

LYRICS
Until when there’s nothing better
’til dead and gone, the go-getter
Getting hotter, getting wetter
Getting dryer, you’re on fire
Last gasp and final desire
Damn the straits be thee dire
Spirits going to lift me higher
Stay out of harms way
(Hopefully today)
Chalk it up to your power
In God’s final hour
Our hour of power
Power our are
Are our

bookmark_borderRoute Out

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is it time to break camp
Stamp the ember out
Fold the tent
Our time’s lent
Orient a new route
It’s in the stars this evening
Bring on the dawn in the morning

Being nomad isn’t so bad
Everywhere you roam is home
Features
All the creatures
Best I’ve ever had
It’s in the stars this evening
Bring on the dawn in the morning

Planet Earth was great for a birth
Being a being
More universe
Chapter and verse
Free for the seeing
It’s in the stars this evening
Bring on the dawn in the morning

bookmark_borderPo Lease

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Ohhhh The Po Po Po’s
Lease on life
At the least
Is rife with strife
Do you hear the howl
All the while
The downtrodden’s growl
No compassion
In their fashion
Badge and club and gun
Make you want to run
We’ll shed a tear today
Run, run, run away
We’ll keep the fear at bay
Where there’s a we’ll / will
There’s a way
You know…
It won’t be over
’til we overthrow
Our overlords
(Hear the hoards
Here the hoards)

bookmark_borderGone Wild

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Go wild all day
Go wild all night
Along the way
I try to shed some light
And, as I move along
If things start going wrong
I know it won’t be long
Till I take a right
Leaving left long gone
Will “be” long
We’ll belong

And, as I move along
Think I know what’ll keep me strong
By playing “one more song!”
You can sing along
Will “be” long
We’ll belong

bookmark_borderSame Ole Story

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Seen it before
Know how it ends
And the message it sends
Same ole folklore
’bout blood and gore
And the morals it bends
The good guys always finish last
Hoping it was a thing of the past
That ain’t no damsel in distress
Just a MILF in a hot mess

The plot doesn’t know where to begin
The dog’s at the door and want to come in
Is this the climax? What’s it about
Now that damn dog wants to go out
All of time just keeps dragging on
Really can’t wait ’til I’m gone
Romans, countrymen your ears lend
Finally, this story comes to “The End”

LYRICS
As soon as the sun starts breakin’
We’ll / will do it again
We’ll / will do it again in the mornin’
For the children’s sake
At day break
We’ll do it again in the mornin’
And it’s true that all you do
Will pull you through, too
All you do comes back to you
Know / no matter what you do
For “good”ness sake
When we wake
We’ll do it again in the mornin’
(at the break of day
… what do you say?)

bookmark_borderThe Disease

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Might want to be careful
If you get too close
You might catch it, too
Maybe slightly mindful
If you get the “to know” ‘s
You might catch it, too
They say the disease
Is spreading like fleas
So if you please
None of these

Might want to be fearful
If you’ve got the “who knows?”
You might catch it, too
Maybe slightly helpful
If you’ve got a spare dose
You might catch it, too
They say the disease
Starts with a wheeze
(Cough and sneeze)
So if you please
I’ll have none of these
I might catch it, too
Don’t want to catch it from you
I might catch it, too

bookmark_borderInto The Wind

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Throwing into the wind
Where the mind has been
Gone with the wind
Or come back again?
Don’t you know
I think it blows?
(Don’t you think I know it blows?)
No matter which way it goes
It blows
Any way the wind blows
Don’t you know
I think it blows
All my answers…
Blowin’ in the wind
Why question the suggestion
’cause in conclusion the conclusion:
Is in the hands of the weather/whether
Blowin’ like a feather
In the wind
