LYRICS
Oh! No!
Wouldn’t you know
There’s no snow
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near here
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near hear
Christmas cheer on holiday
Wouldn’t you say?

The leaves fell down
Still no snow on the ground
None to be found
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near here
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near hear
Christmas cheer on holiday
Wouldn’t you say?

Advent did begin
December moves in
Still it’s not snowin’
Chorus

Hard to believe
Approaching Christmas Eve
Pray “at least a dusting, please”
Chorus

El Niño no Feliz Navidad

LYRICS
Have you crossed the line?

Is your toe over the line
Have you crossed the line
Did you toe the line
Tow the line

Have you gone to far
Leaving the door ajar
Now all hell is breaking loose
Killed the golden goose
Now you’re running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off
Did you toe the line
Did you tow the line

As a member of society
Being part of humanity
It is business of mine
So I’m minding my own business when I ask you
Did you toe the line

Did you tow the line
Did you start in time
Did you toe the line
Did you cross the line
Did you tow the line

T-t-t-t-t-t tip toe
Toe the line
T-t-t-t-t-t tip toe
Tow the line

LYRICS
Will it suffice to sacrifice your life
If you know immortality for all eternity
Will it suffice to sacrifice your life
If you just go on to sin and sin again
Are you suppose to resolve all man’s sins
What are you believing
You’ve got to won up to your sin
What are you believing
You can’t run from your sin

If your end never ends
How can you begin to live up to all your sin
You’ve got to take responsibility
Can’t you see
You can’t depend on someone else’s immortality
You’re a sight to see

LYRICS
Quick! …sand
Doesn’t anybody understand
Getting sucked in by the quicksand
Quicksand
Do you understand
Due to our demand
Our damned demand
Getting sucked in to the quicksand… by the quicksand

Oh no!
Sucking us in so slow
How to juggle not to struggle
Start seeping in
And I’m going deep in
Getting sucked in by my own motion
Going down, down, down
Do we understand
We demand
Getting sucked in… quicksand

I’ll be damned
Getting sucked in by the quicksand
We demand to be damned
Sucked into the quicksand
From thence we shall come to judge the quick and dead
I heard it said
Understand
Sucked in by the quicksand

Do you have any idea what we’re doing
Do we have any idea what we’re doing
You really got me
How can you sleep tonight
How can anyone anywhere sleep tight?

Once Upon A Time… The End.mp3

LYRICS
Is this the beginning of the end
Or, the end of the beginning
Is it all just relativity to me
The spacetime continuum that I am
I sure have amassed this mass
As long as this mass doesn’t pass
I suppose I am the creator of the spacetime continuum

Are you drawn into orbit
Some sort-of circular habit
Going round and round and round
Is this the end of the beginning
Or, the beginning of The End

Is all I see relativity
The spacetime continuum that I am
I think I am
I surely must be
Is that me
Relatively relativity

LYRICS
What the hell are we doing here?
Our purpose isn’t very clear
What the hell are we doing here?
I meant it’s not that evident
What the hell are we doing here?
It’s not that clear
I search far
I search near
But, it ain’t that clear
What are we doing here
What the hell are we doing here?
I meant it’s not that evident

Please
I’m begging on my knees
What the hell are we doing here?
It’s not that clear
I meant it’s not that evident why we’re present
Just want to make imprint
Then say see… see ya later
Just want to make a dent

LYRICS
It’s all just fun and games ’til someone gets their eye poked out
Sticks and stones will break your bones… find out what that’s all about

It’s all just fun and games ’til someone gets their eye poked out
Then, ain’t it a shame (no fun in that game)
Sticks and stones will break your bones… you’ll find out about
All just fun and games ’til you make someone lame
Then, shame, shame, shame
If you take away the ability for someone to see
You’d better take responsibility

LYRICS
Just when I thought I’d seen it all
America’s throwing a hatred ball
Ironically, they don’t invite me
I was dying to see if what they’re wearing is lovely

I can’t appreciate loving hate
Red in the face a being irate
Is it too late to start hating hate?
Ironically, that just can’t be

Hating hate will just foster disaster
Perpetuating hate faster and faster
Can’t you see that just can’t be
I don’t want to be hating me

LYRICS
This is God to Earth.
Come in Earth.

Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?
A: When I grow up I want to be an elf.
[the Earthlings sing]
When I grow up I want to be an elf
Not all wrapped up in myself
Not all tied-up in myself
Rather make a toy for every girl and boy
I’d rather bring that Christmas Joy, enjoy
When I grow up

When I grow up, I want to be an elf

Not that stooge for the Scrooge
Not the snitch for the Grinch
When I grow up

When I grow up, I want to be an elf

What do you want to be when you grow up
Do you want to be something? Stand up
What do you want to be when you grow up
Something stand up or throw-up
A toy for every girl and boy
Or hurl for every boy and girl
What do you want to be when you grow up?

Hermey: Not happy with my work, I guess.
Head Elf: What?
Hermey: [sadly] I just don’t like to make toys.
Head Elf: Oh, well, if that’s all… What? You don’t like to make toys?
Hermey: [sadly again] Nnno.
Head Elf: [to the other elves] Hermey doesn’t like to make toys!
Elves: [whispering to each other, then chorusing to Hermey] Hermey doesn’t like to make toys. Shame on him!
Head Elf: Do you mind telling me what you do want to do?
Hermey: Well, sir, someday, I’d like to be a… a dentist.
Head Elf: A – dentist?

LYRICS
I can see the light in your eye
Delight in your “I”

I can see the light in your eye
It lights up the sky
The delight from the light of your eye
The delight of your “I”

I think now I know why
The sparkle, the twinkle, the glimmer, the shimmer
Of your eye
Of your “I”

Delight in the light in your “I”
My, oh, my, oh, my
The light in your “I”

Long after I die
I’ll remember the light of your “I”
The light that I can see in your eye
I can see ’til eternity

I can see the light
I can see the light
I can see the light in your eyes/I’s

But I can’t see
How we’ll ever make it to three
Please tell me if it comes to you

What’s troubling me
Is that our degree of difficulty
Is our intelligence too few?

LYRICS
A full view of dancing with you

Caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye
And, I…
I had to get the full view of dancing with you

Full view of dancing with you
Dancing with you
You turned my head
Then I said
No matter how far or how near
As long as it’s clear
Full view of dancing with you
Dancing with you
Taking in the full view
Of dancing with you
Could be as far as across the dance floor
… maybe more
As long as it’s clear
The view of dancing with you
As long as it’s clear
It could be near
Next to me
Clearly
The view of dancing with you
If you can sense my scent like I can sense your scent
It’s like a present
Heaven sent
Don’t want to escape the nape
… of your neck
What the heck?
As long as it’s clear… clearly to see
The view of dancing with you

Oh you say you want a rump for president
Oh why are you hellbent?
Oh you say one’s not Earth’s resident
Oh why are you hellbent?

But if you want a mind that hates
Get your rump out of the United States
Another pea-brain playing pinochle
Your Trump card’s gonna buckle

As you devour your own tails
Hors d’oeuvres from the entrails

Oh you say you want to stone the stoners
Oh why are you hellbent?
No shadows in your house of windows
Oh why are you hellbent?

So if ya wanna cast a stone
Better come down off your throne
I hate to shatter your “God” delusion
Ya sure She’s Caucasian?

As you devour your own tails
