"Tragic Comic"


Flowers, I sent,
were found dead on their arrival
The words, I said,
inserted foot in my mouthful
So when, we dance,
My lead it ain't so graceful
(Isn't so, not ain't so)

I'M A HAPLESS ROMANTIC
ST-T-TUTTERING P-POET
JUST CALL ME A TRAGIC COMIC
CAUSE I'M, IN, IN LOVE WITH YOU

And when, we dine,
I forget to push in your seat
I wear, the wine,
spilling hearts all over my sleeve
A stitch, in time,
proposing down on my knees
(Splitting between the seams)

I'M A HAPLESS ROMANTIC
ST-T-TUTTERING P-POET
JUST CALL ME A TRAGIC COMIC
CAUSE I'M, IN, IN LOVE WITH YOU

Nobody, can know the,
trouble I've, seen
Nobody, can know the,
trouble I, get into,
when I'm with you

"Our Father"


Oh Daddy please,
take me with you
where you going
Oh Daddy please,
come find the time,
come watch us growing
Oh Daddy please,
don't leave there's so
much that we want to
know before you go

I'm in need of someone
to tie my shoe,
or take hold of my hand
when I become afraid
And whose footsteps
will I follow into,
Daddy please,
don't run away

OUR FATHER
FAR FATHER
WELL LET ME TELL YOU 'BOUT
OUR FATHER
FAR FARTHER AWAY...

Oh Daddy please,
I pray every night
the doors will open
Oh Daddy please,
this house is just
a broken home,
left all alone

"Stop The World"


All the world's
a masquerade
made up of fools
and philosophers
Were it to rain
on our charade,
all washes away,
except for our true colors

If any people bothered
looking for truth, please,
STOP THE WORLD
from spinning 'round
instead we choose to follow
footsteps of fools, please
STOP THE WORLD
from spinning 'round
If nothing's new under the sun
for me and you
Won't somebody please...

STOP THE WORLD
STOP THE WORLD
I WANNA GET OFF
STOP THE WORLD
STOP THE WORLD
WHERE THERE IS LOVE

If we forget
yesterday,
We're bound to repeat it
tomorrow
It's not too late
to start today,
Better off safe,
than sorry

Do unto those as you would
do to yourselves, please,
STOP THE WORLD
from spinning 'round
We need more feet to walk
in one another's shoes, please

STOP THE WORLD
from spinning 'round
There's nothing new
under the sun
for me and you,
Won't somebody please...

"God Isn't Dead"


Ah, look at all
the lonely people,
losing faith,
in a world
full of despair,
no one who cares,
wondering where
GOD disappeared

I, see the pain
in everybody's faces
asking why,
the GOD up in the sky,
didn't say goodbye,
please tell me,
GOD didn't die

PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T
I WANT TO KNOW
IF HE'S
TELL ME
GOD ISN'T
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
I WANT TO KNOW

"Rise 'N Shine"


Dawn wakes the silence,
of a fainted lullaby
Day breaks the eyelid,
from a song sung in my eye

Night rests in peace,
as the sun mourns the sky
All's accounted for sheep,
over a horizon's I

RISE, RISE 'N SHINE
A NEW DAY IS COMING
RISE, RISE IN TIME
FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN

And when you see,
a south wind blow
Forecasting, you will know,
a hot day, will be on the way
(Foolish one)
You analyze,
the earth and the sky
I ask you why,
you can't analyze the signs,
of the present time

I had a dream,
not unlike the one from old
Of a man king,
whose head was made of gold
Stand castles of sand
weather the sundials rise 'n fall
Chasing wind through your hands,
'til water runs dry the well

DREAM, DANIEL, DREAM
FOR WHAT'S YET TO COME
SEE, DANIEL, SEE
FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN

And in the West,
a cloud appears
For shadows of
a coming shower near,
Oh, so near
(Hypocrites)
You analyze,
the earth and the sky
I ask you why,
you can't analyze the signs,
of the present time

Vanity,
Yes, all is vanity
Vanity,
Yes, all's futility

For one that dies,
another's born
Where laughter's heard,
comforters mourn
There's a time for
everything

A song for love,
even abhor
An olive branch,
or winter's war
There's a time for
EVERYTHING, UNDER THE SUN

"Am I Ever Gonna Change"


I'm tired of being me,
and I don't like what I see,
I'm not who I appear to be
So I start off every day,
down on my knees I will pray,
for a change in any way
But as the day goes by,
I live through another lie,
if it's any wonder why

AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME
IF I SAY ONE THING,
THEN I DO THE OTHER
IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG,
THAT GOES ON FOREVER
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
I'M THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME
WHEN I THINK I'M RIGHT,
I WIND UP WRONG
IT'S A FUTILE FIGHT,
GONE ON TOO LONG

Please tell me if it's true,
am I too old to start anew,
cause that's what I want to do
But time and time again,
when I think I can,
I fall short in the end
So why do I even try,
Will it matter when I die,
Can anyone hear my cry?

AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
TAKE IT DAY BY DAY
MY WILL IS WEAK
AND MY FLESH TOO STRONG
THIS PEACE I SEEK
TILL THY KINGDOM COMES

"Who Cares?"


Tell me, Jesus,
are you angry?
One more sheep has,
just gone astray
A hardening of hearts,
turning to stone
Wandering off,
so far from home
So many children,
losing time
Walk in darkness,
looking for a sign
Chasing their rainbows,
the future looks so bright
Slowly we're losing,
Sight of the light

WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
TELL ME WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?

All alone,
out in the cold
Can't look back,
am I growing old
I chose a path,
is this my fate
Am I finding out,
the truth too late

[CHORUS]

Here I am,
a naked man
Nothing to hide
with empty hands
Remember me,
I am the one
Who lost his way,
your Prodigal Son

WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
TELL ME WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?

AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME
SAY ONE THING
THEN I DO THE OTHER
SAME OLD SONG
GOES ON FOREVER
RISE, RISE 'N SHINE
A NEW DAY IS COMING
YES IT IS!

"There Is No God"


so you're a self proclaimed messiah
or maybe a blasphemes liar
a clever hypnotic hoax
a hallowed heretic coax
who tells these stories so old
no, never the same twice told
speaking in distorted thruths
i see that thomas wants some proof
did you come to heal the sick
with one more magician's trick
ye generation seeks a sign
while blind keeps leading the blind

so you say there is no god
just a clever man's charade
a once upon a fairy tales fraud
has god made man or man made god

there is no god

confused thy talk in parables
accused thou walk in parallels
a simple game of simon says
this month's flavor sciences
today's fact, tomorrow's fiction
leave the rest to superstition
if knowledge comes from learning books
wisdom comes from discerning looks
a fool that says there is no god
don't feel for that sorry sod
who needs proof then he'll believe
i wonder if he's been deceived

there is no god

"Cynical Fuck"


today don't look so bad
compared to tomorrow
if time is all we have
then we're living on borrowed
yesterday's for fools
who try to remember
the good ol' days
weren't always that
much better

cynical fuck
well i ain't nothing but a
cynical fuck
it don't take much to be a
cynical, all you need is love
all you need is what to be a

and whatever you do
someone's done it first
though it's sad but true
this us just another verse
if you can't take it with you
then what's the use
i never saw a u-haul
being pulled behind a hearse

[chorus]

looks like my brighter side
has gotten a bit darker
i must have stepped over
my four leaf clover
'cause someone drank my
half-filled cup of water

"Tell Me Something I Don't Know"


sun going up,
making its rounds
it keeps on moving,
painting the town
before you know it,
she's sinking low
so tell me something . . .

something i don't already know
i don't know?

toward the south,
then turning north
whirlwind spinning,
on a circular course
the answer my friend,
returns to blow
so tell me something . . .

something i don't already know
i don't know?
tell me something
i don't know?

as for the wise men who pursue
their knowledge
same as the fool, free falling
prey to folly
can only one fate befall
them both
so tell me something . . .

[chorus]

if every song been sung,
under the sun
what's left for me then,
eat drink and have fun
it must go on, as for the show
so tell me something . . .
