LYRICS
Goin’ down Market Street
All the high-heeled feet
Shufflin’ to the beat
On Market Street
As they pass by
Headed toward High
Leg out a sigh
Crier for the choir
Hearing angels sing
As the bells ring
Well, here’s the thing
… it’s heaven on Earth
Re-birth

LYRICS
Cupid’s lance
Spear it (Feel it?)
Through the heart
Piercing glance
Spear it (Feel it?)
Through the heart
When the spirit spears it
You will know you’re in the flow
Cupid’s dart
Spear it (Feel it?)
Through the heart
Like a jolt
Spear it (Feel it?)
Feel it start?
When the spirit spears it
You will know you’re in the flow

LYRICS
When you see it’s near the end
What is the message you’ll send
Keep from loved ones your fears
While listening to Britney Spears?
What will be the message you send
Will it before the meek you defend
To whom a helping hand will you lend
Walls fall and bridges mend
Seven screaming chariots
Make sure homo sapiens share it
The trumpets of Armageddon
Drown out the moment of pop-dum
ABOUT THE SONG

Inspired by a snake handler from India. The BBC reported:
Gowri Shankar spends his life handling snakes. Armed only with a long stick and bag he races to rescue snakes that have found their way into houses in the towns near Bangalore in Southern India. His speciality is the most feared snake of all – the King Cobra – and he almost died rescuing one.
When he was bitten, he had rescued three king cobras in one day. He didn’t have enough king cobra bags and used a regular cobra bag. The snake bit him through the bag. His friend drove him to the hospital. On the way he decided to have fun since he thought he was going to die. He didn’t want his family to know. Instead, his friend asked him if he had any last requests. Gowri asked to listen to a Britney Spears song.

LYRICS
Purveyors of love
Purveyors of love
When you get right down to it
A) human conduit
Be) a conduit
See) a conduit
It’s as easy as A, Be, See
When I is you
We let it pass through
With the least resistance, too
You want to keep a few?
Let it pass through
Might as well let
The more you give
Be the more you get

This time gonna find an excuse to cut loose

LYRICS
Gonna love you in the morning
Gonna love you all the night
Gonna love you in the evening
Gonna love with all my might
’cause lovin’ is alive
Gonna love all afternoon
Into the twilight
Under the full moon
Into the broad daylight
’cause lovin’ is alive
Love the one you are with
Love the ones near and far
Love with depth and breadth
Love love ’till no more war
’cause lovin’ is alive
At the wheel now drive
’cause lovin’ is alive

LYRICS
The King sat on his throne
Sitting all alone
All his horses and all his men
Couldn’t put it back together again
The servant on his knees
Begging for mercy, please
With the King’s thumb pointing down
The bag of kittens will drown
Widows and orphan’s disease
Making the King sneeze
When in doubt
He’ll snuff them out
Now, no kingdom to amount
King’s king-dumb
King dumb

LYRICS
The shapes in the sky
Take on my mind’s eye
A four dimension
… surreal ideal
Ripples on the surface
Like lines on a face
Time — the illusion
As old as you feel
Fate unseal
Life’s appeal
From Cron we steal
The moments we feel
Awake all living
Human’s start giving
Repealin’ the Reaper
Diggin’ in deeper
Pushin’ the head through
For the Earthly view
From unborn… being born
… onto life’s sojourn

LYRICS
Through the glass it is seen
Though the sound can’t be heard
From the restraint I’ll ween
Tempted by innocence I am lured
Pied piper, how absurd
To have flight like a bird
Pied piper, how absurd
Carrier pigeon message heard
Take an ass to water
But can’t get any further
In a land of in-between
The older the blander the scene
The low pass or the high road
Burden of a heavy load
Or dialed into child
Imagination running wild

LYRICS
How will we ever know
If we don’t let freedom go
Don’t wanna watch us age
Keeping freedom in a cage
How will we ever grow
If we don’t let freedom go
How can there be a sage
Keeping freedom in a cage
A murder of crows
Count your fingers, count your toes
If we don’t turn the page
Letting freedom outta the cage

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords – E G A D A G E
A rhyme for counting the number of crows in a murder:
One for sorrow, two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, four for a birth,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret not to be told.
Eight for heaven, nine for hell,
And ten for the devil’s own sel’
Written on the streets of West Chester, Chester County, PA. Recorded live at Everhart Park.

LYRICS
When the world’s in need of aid
Why are you so afraid?
Paralyzed eyes
… and lock-jaw awe
Time for your mind to be made
Why are we still idle
Why not untie the knot
Why are we still still
Why not give it what we got
When the needy need a voice
Can you really call it a choice
Why be so selfish
Why not grant a wish
With a hallelujah we’ll all rejoice

LYRICS
When the world is a mess
Black Dress Jess will confess
Singin’ with her whole soul
Need to know the address?
Jess in black dress
She’ll show you where to go
(She’ll know where to go)
When put to the test
At ease you can rest
Black Dress Jess is the best
Makes you aware
… of the darkness out there
Sheddin’ light on what’s right
Puts humanity into the human
Can I hear an amen?
Jessness saves again
Chorus
Repeat first verse and chorus
