LYRICS
You talk to her but won’t talk to me
Time to get a grasp on reality

Truth song of how she’s done ya wrong

You walk with her but won’t walk with me
It’s a shame you mess with your destiny

Truth song of how she’s done ya wrong

What you lost with her you won with me
Time lost together is a travesty

Truth song of how she’s done ya wrong

Blood is blood and yours is mine
Some day you’re gonna find… you miss your family tree
(Trust me)

Truth song of how she’s done ya wrong

LYRICS
Can you get to heaven if you don’t care a bit
If you don’t give a shit
If you don’t care a bit

The times they are changing
Pray my soul is fit
The gremlins they are a granging
Pray my soul ain’t bit

Chorus

The world keeps on turning
Asteroid please don’t hit
The sun keeps on burning
May our days stay lit

Chorus

Hope your heart keeps yearning
No bottomless pit
Hope you keep on earning
That you never quit

LYRICS
Here we go
Here we go again
Did you know
It’s time to begin

The starting pistol shot. Bang!
Still on the starting line? Dang!
Time to move a lot. Groove!
Time to groove a lot. Move!

Chorus

The tarting buzzer rang. Clang!
The choir raised their voice. Sang!
Dancers start to move. Smooth!
Nothing left to prove. Move!

LYRICS
Were you ever to the top of the World Trade Towers
Have you ever been to the top of the Empire State
If you have a chance take a glance
On the edge
Look over
Past the ledge
We all look like ants

If you get the chance
… we all look like ants

Have you ever been to the top of the food chain’s powers
Have you ever been past the top
Well, it’s not too late

If you have a chance take a stance
Pull way back
’till over
Get the knack
We all look likes ants

If you get the chance
… we all look like ants

The House Sparrow

LYRICS
In the Berkshire Mountains
… no limit to what you can do
In the Berkshire Mountains
With ease you’ll gain the view
You can not afford not
Can you?

Do you think the bird’s heard the word?
A ballbusting nuthatch
Do you think that bird’s a lil’ absurd?
A ballbusting nuthatch

Watch! That’s no nuthatch
Some kind of King Pharaoh sparrow
Watch! That’s no nuthatch
In flight… out of the shadow

Your desires… living in the Berkshires

You can do what’s best to do in view
… of the Berkshires

LYRICS
Standing in the toilet
In the cesspool of life
A highly non-trivial affair
A vortex of love

Swimming in the vortex of love

To all the gypsy
Hypocrite hippie
Trying to take advantage of any age
Perplex flight of the dove

Swimming in the vortex of love

Swirling ever faster
Might float right past Her

Swimming in the vortex of love

If this all sounds too scary for you
Here’s what we can do
We can hold your hand
Help you understand
Be the supply for your demand

If this all sounds too eerie for you
Here’s what we can do
Go from this minor
Into a major
And make the world a little happier

LYRICS
The bats are in the belfry
The toys are in the attic
At least a mind’s set free
Not at risk to conflict
… obscured from view from you?

You decide what will happen
’cause you decide for us all, too

The lights are on but nobody’s home
Jekyll can’t hide Hyde
If I’m a good dog on the ride
They’ll give me a bone
I know I’m not alone
I know we’re not alone

No, no…
The Earth is our home
Yes, this mess is our own
Not alone in this home

LYRICS
Mother Nature’s misty eye cries
The Humans won’t compromise
Their ways… their strays

What do you say we go out on a lark
Maybe the energy will ignite a spark
The great illuminate of the dark
Leaving no trace… leaving no mark

Maybe it’s not too late to put some sweetness in our gate
Maybe it’s not too late… as long as we don’t wait
Maybe it’s not too late to put some swuit-ness in our gate
Maybe it’s not too late… as long as we don’t weight
