LYRICS
Hear you got the disease
Hear you caught it with ease
The further you spread
The more will drop dead
I say,
“I beg your pardon…
Spreader at the Rose Garden?”
Before they could pass the bill
Spread it over capital hill

Hear you got the disease
Hear you caught it with ease
The further you spread
The more will drop dead
COVID free is now long gone
Spread it to the Pentagon
Hospital break-out like King Kong
Taking it home… it won’t be long

LYRICS
Just when I thought I saw everything
Look what they had left
Flood the streets
Let the levy spring
Our final freedom theft
Deft?
Ummm
Free-dumb
Ummm

Mamas and veterans hold back the flood
Over dead bodies and blood
With shock and awe and dropping jaw
I heard a mother say:
“No! Not this way.
No! Not today
Over my dead body.”
No. Nobody
Leave those kids alone
Free and brave
Save our own home
Hey! Lave those kids alone
Over flesh
Over bone
Deft?
Ummm… free-dum
None left.
Not right.
Just deft?
No right.

LYRICS
There’s a space
Between the doors
Does no one care
Any more
There’s no space
Up on the floors
Does someone care
Any more

Every name of the dead
Shall be read
At least,
If you’re name is said
Not the beast
666 fix
777
Gone to heaven

Quite contrary
Fence around a cemetery
People are just dying to get in
The End
Where we begin

Bury them deep
Less their souls to seep

Hare to hide
Pile them wide

LYRICS
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
But, I confess…
I’m nervous
I’m serious…
Sorry if I appear delirious
But, I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through
Get between us?
Let’s careen us
Set our sails
Not off the rails
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through

LYRICS
What shall we do
The morning dew
Is due
To be through
Put to an End
A tragic send

What can we say
The midday sway
Gone away
I heard it said
“Put to bed”
[Instrumental Break]

What did we do
The nighttime view
Obscured blurred
A mar on far
To close to home
Soon left alone

My head can not stop thinking of you
My bed… all wet from crying for you
Things may never be the same
But, that’s alright
I’m up for the game
On your mark. Get set. Go!
To high from low
Elevate
Levitate
Alleviate
Don’t hesitate
No… don’t hesitate

My head can not stop thinking of you
My bed… all wet from crying for you
Things may never be the same
But, that’s alright
I’m up for the game
On your mark. Get set. Go!
To high from low
Go into the hyper-surface flow
Feel the love circling above?
Let’s go into the hyper-surface flow
Feel the love
Circle above?
Feel the love
Circle above!

LYRICS
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?
We’re not going back to before
The move to the future in a blur
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?

Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?
The “normal” was a blur
Certainly, on that you concur
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?

Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?
Have you ever noticed the other door
Unless it’s opened are you sure?
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?

LYRICS
I took a trip
Without a buggy whip
Money stash
Without coins… no cash
The times are changing
Priorities re-arranging

The data scene
Has no fax machine
Left all alone
With a rotary phone
The times are changing
Priorities re-arranging

Took a horseless carriage
Into the modern age
Learned real fast
The obsolescence of gas
The times are changing
Priorities re-arranging

LYRICS
My heart is bleeding
Like a bloody sap
Syrup flowing
To the floor
Adapt to endure
Know more

My mind is melding
The legend of the map
Pieces fitting
No “no more”
Adapt and endure

My life is seeping
Like a flowing tap
The hops brewing
That’s for sure
Adapt will endure
Know more

You don’t already know
A love spell or something

LYRICS
Once I started thinking
Outside the freedom box
The cleaning of the clocks
The ships shoved from docks
Freedom box
That ship sailed
Of the failed
Now, it’s all hands on deck
Let’s fix this wreck
Freedom box
Once I started thinking
(Outside the freedom box)
The fears started shrinking
(Outside the freedom box)
Once I started thinking
(Outside the freedom box)
What’s wrong started sinking
(Outside the freedom box)
Once I started thinking
Outside the freedom box
All our bonds and stocks
Outside the freedom box
No more bars and locks
Outside the freedom box
Tumbling of the blocks
Outside the freedom box
