LYRICS
This is a test of our mental ability
Life. What it is that we be
A test of our ability to see society
Reality and certainty
Instead of skeptically spouting absurdity
Define precisely — what it is that we be
A society of humanity… or humans acting like Barbarians
Come again? A humanity calamity?

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3… what it is that we be?
Pop-quiz — are you a wiz kid?
What will you do… what have you “did”?
As of now, what is it that we be
A society of humanity… or hatred, greed, insanity?
Rife with life! What it is that we be
A society of humanity

LYRICS
What hue are you?
What do you think… Passion Pink… or Black and Blue… to show your strength
What hue are you? What wavelength?
Yellow under belly
Green as a new-bee
What do you think… Passion Pink… or Black and Blue… to show your strength
What color shall we be? What wavelength?
What do we want others to see? Do we want to radiate hate? I’m inclined to let love shine!
No, no need to keep love at arm’s length
Bask them in love’s wavelength
May the love light shine on you
Our wavelength’s hue

[Hue are you? Hue, hue, hue?
I really wanna know
Hue are you?
Tell me who are hue, hue, hue]

LYRICS
Swimming through the stars on our way through the Milky Way
Beaming lights take flight at the speed of light
Traveling light years away. Traveling day-by-day.

Reflection Of The Sun
Reflection Of The Sun

A light year per year… just bring along some atmosphere
186,000 miles per second… reckon Earthlings’ beacon beckons
Our reflection from the sun… 365 days = light year 1
The action of refraction bending it some
Our reflection of the sun
Burn, Baby, burn… run, run, run

Traveling at the speed of light… might our light shine bright
As we become a reflection of the sun

bookmark_borderHouse Of The Rising Sun

An old, traditional folk song. The origin is unknown but is believed to have originated in England or France. The song was reworked by blues musicians from the South. The first known recording is from 1933. The song was later made famous by The Animals in the 1960’s.

LYRICS
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one

My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin’ man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s on a drunk

Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I’m goin’ back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one

LYRICS
Got my eyeballs…
And note, my ears, nose and throat
You got balls
Sit n’ gloat with membrane bloat

No, I’m not in need of another hole in my head
Are you in need of another whole in your heart?
Enough said
Let’s start

I was gonna say, “this ain’t brain surgery”
But, it sure is
I was gonna say, “this ain’t open heart surgery”
But, it sure is

Judgement day for your perjury
Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars.
Go straight to purgatory
Listen to the screams. Listen to the hollers.

Got my eyeballs…
And note, my ears, nose and throat
No, I’m not in need of another hole in my head

LYRICS
What the heck is privilege
Do you believe you can have an edge?
Smelling all hubris inside
Draped in a cape of pride
Don’t you know
The first are the first to go
The last surpass
… at last

Up to our eyeballs in sludge
Stubborn mule won’t even budge
Trying to rule — overlord
In the kingdom of absurd

Chorus

As I gain the knowledge
The classes drive a wedge
Take the poverty pledge
And, your bets hedge

How can life ever be the same?

Might as well stay ’til I checkout

Gotta fight to win this bout

Sooner or later we’re all going to die
Later not sooner is how I’m going to try
The next time I see ya… I’d like to say “hi”
Beats tears and fears of saying “good-bye”

LYRICS
The smile on your face
The loving embrace
It’s heart warming
Enduring

When I began to figure it out
I was just a little sprout
Couldn’t help but to laugh and grin
If I could, I’d do it over again

Then as I started to grow
Wasn’t hard for me to get to know
Taking time to smile with you
Adversity we’d get through

Time goes by and I grow old
Hopefully when my story is told
It’ll bring a smile to your face
Remembering the time we enjoyed in this place

Just the place I love to go
Hearts and souls overflow
The kind-of show ya wanna get to know
