Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How I wish you were nearer
To help me think a little clearer
Now phased, dazed and confuse
Mind tattered, battered and bruised
How I wish you were nearer
To help me think a little clearer
Brain tazed, razed, lobotomized
Mind scattered, shattered, compromised

The comfort you bring
Is so comforting
Hear angels sing
Here angels sing

LYRICS
I suppose you are composed of a star
The energy that has become me
Sounds bizarre but it’s from that star

So, I’m wondering
How far to the nearest star?

LYRICS
Perhaps too fond
Of playing James Bond
(Grew too fond
Of playing James Bond)

Thyself conned
Playing James Bond
About conceit… admitting defeat
Perhaps I’ve gone beyond
Playing James Bond
(Grew too fond
Of playing James Bond)

Realization dawn
I ain’t no James Bond
I can see… shaken and stirred… crazy
Stir crazy
A fantasy only you can see
When you’re playing James Bond
007 in hell or heaven
The magic wand of Bond

Bond. James Bond.

LYRICS
Can we build a better mouse trap than that
More like a rat
In a maze
Amazed

Lost in a maze for days
Pondering… wondering
What the heck are we doing?

While we’re here living
What in the heaven are we doing
Or well…
Are we creating our hell?

LYRICS
What is this reality
All about me
Is it all about me
What is this reality all about me
Is it all about me

As we march toward eternity
Is this my reality
As we march toward the eternal infinity
Will we get off our seat and on our feet
And come some more clearly
That we are we
It’s hard to argue that
As a matter of fact
We are we
As a matter of fact
That’s where we’re at
It’s beyond me
And my mortality
’cause I can see
More clearly
That I’m going to die
Sooner or later I’ll be “later gator”

LYRICS
You’ve got to get out
You’ve got to get out
You’ve got to get out of there

Maybe you can get up and fly
Maybe get up and kiss the sky
Crazy if we think it’s do or die
Come on! Come on! Maybe give it a try?

You’ve got to get out
You’ve got to get out
You’ve got to get out of there

No if and or but
You’ve got to get out
You’ve got to get out that’s clear

LYRICS
Now I remember…
You always leave a bad taste
Such a waste

Well, look at this
They said ignorance is bliss
‘suppose that’s your picture in the dictionary?
(So fancy and quite contrary)
Thank you for spelling it out… now, it is plain to see
What a waste
Bad taste

If you think you are cute
Ya sure ain’t astute
A fool should stay mute
When unable to refute

Ignorance is bliss?
Sure don’t miss… your kind — unkind with a narrow mind

Cry, baby, cry?
No, now I remember why I said goodbye
Because of all this, “Ignorance is bliss”
If such is this, the only bliss is…
Leaving your arrogance-in-ignorance

Haste for a good taste
Cleanse the palate
And, forget

LYRICS
Ya know…
Seems the wind and the snow
Got into a rift
If ya catch my drift

Fast, furious, swift
If you catch my drift

Blowin’ higher
Goin’ higher
Gettin’ dire
Startin’ to irk my ire
If ya catch my dirft

Seems the snow, ya know
Got into it… a rift… a drift
Adrift in a drift

I see society adrift
In their rift
They say they pray for a shift
Adrift in the rift
Of the drift

LYRICS
Looks like we’re staring straight into the storm
Better raise the alarm

Can you take me to the wizard
That conjured up this blizzard
… take away his royal robe
… shaking up my snow-globe

Looks like we’re staring straight into the storm
Better raise the alarm
So, I’d love to quiz the wizard
That conjured up this blizzard
See what he was thinking… do a mind probe
Perhaps lobotomize his frontal lobe
… shaking up our snow-globe
For crying-out-loud
It’s a total white-out out

LYRICS
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Wasn’t looking for trouble
It sounds like trouble
Hate to burst your bubble

It ain’t that novel
Now I gotta shovel
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Don’t want to grovel from the curse of the devil

It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Scrapping the knuckle
Bustin’ a muscle
Taking a pummel in this struggle
Ain’t no subtle shovel
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep
Getting deep, deep, deep….

LYRICS
The dark of night
Gets coated in white
Covered like a blanket
Coming down… down blanket
Comforter
Will you comfort her?

Black of night
Covered in white

Turns the bright on the night
I can see
Intensity
It’s coming down
Like a blanket
It’s coming down
Coming down
Cover it
Thick and deep

It’s coming down
Thick and deep
Let’s hope our lives… we can keep

LYRICS
Soundcheck — “Blizzard”

Starts off with… talking about a lizard
A lizard blizzard

Lizard
Lizard grew
Lizard grew and grows and grew and grows into a dragon
Zilla God Zilla God Zilla Godzilla
King of the lizard

There was a squall
This squall said after all
I want to be tall
I want to be a tall
I want to be a tall tale
(tail of the wind… tale of the wind… )
I want to be the king of the storms
I want to blow hard
And not be a blowhard
The king of the storm
Cause to raise the alarm

King of the storm
The blizzard

The 100 year blizzard
A 500 year blizzard
The king of the storm
Enough to cause alarm
A state of emergency
See! Emergency!

The storm of the dragon
Blizzard
The king of the storm
As is the king of the lizard
The king of the storm
Blizzard

Sustained wind(s)
Blowin’
Visibility — snowblind
Visibility zero
Temperature subzero
(Climate unkind)
King of the storm
Blizzard
The blizzard

(I beg for some milk and an egg… I beg)

LYRICS
Stripped down
To the lean and clean

Gonna strip down
To the lean and clean

See what I can gleam
From the glistening (The Electric Slugs leave trails that are glistening)
Stripped down
(listening to the sound around)

interlude

Stripped down
Taking off those dirty clothes
Off that dirty robe
Disrobe and get clean
Gonna stand under that water flow and get to know
Stripped down
Stripped down
Down, down, down

(solo)

Stripped down

Gonna let that water flow, ya know?
Gonna get to know that water flow
Making me so clean
Let the water rain over me
Let the water reign over me
Gonna feel so clean

(bass jam of the subwoofer dub stepped dance-able)

Under the water flow you get to know
What it feels to be clean
Like… squeaky clean, I mean

Under the water flow
Under that flow
You get to know
What if feels to be clean
Like lean n’ clean

(post interlude / bass override / guitar solo overkill)
