1. Salsa Lime
Anchors
kerplunk from a pirate ship
boldly advertised cold drinks inside
The float was rich
bitter cold
The aftertaste was mighty bold
A rush kiwi salsa lime my eyes grew back into my mind
Sense of time sense of place blown across my face
Generous ingredients
Oh the sweet tears that blender cried
Puree on high
The float was rich bitter cold
The aftertaste was mighty bold
A rush kiwi salsa lime my eyes grew back into my mind
Sense of time sense of place blown across my face
Crustacean countertop
Barnacle holder chills like ice
We're going to tantalize
A cherry with
a four foot stem
Grew towards the creamy cloudy sky
Bubbles roared overflowed
A twisty straw sucked up the prize
The float was rich
bitter cold
The aftertaste was mighty bold
A rush kiwi salsa lime my eyes grew back into my mind
Sense of time sense of place blown across my face
I woke up a little
later and found my feet
Where I normally lay my head
I'm going back to bed
The float was rich bitter cold
The aftertaste was mighty bold
A rush kiwi salsa lime my eyes grew back into my mind
A cherry with a four foot stem
Grew towards the creamy cloudy sky
Bubbles roared overflowed
A twisty straw sucked up the prize
Sense of time sense of place blown across my face
2.Better
to be Orange
Got to dominate, got to dominate
Hey director I’m
in need of comedy
Can I seek peek a scene
Call the extras and their leading lady dream
Got to dominate
Leaving worry in our wake
Everything comes easy
Get me something greasy
Wont lead on desire
Better to be orange than fire engine red
Got to dominate,
Got to dominate
Took a long ride on the wrong bus
Seen some things I’ve never seen
Got to dominate
Leaving worry in our wake
Everything comes easy
Get me something greasy
Wont lead on desire
Better to be orange than fire engine red
Got to dominate, worry in our wake
Got to dominate, everything comes easy
Get me something greasy
Wont lead on desire
Better to be orange than fire engine red
3. Tree Hugger
Tree!
She’s a tree hugger
She found a four
footer follower
It was a little too much love for her
Lost in a tundra
into the remnants of an endless day
Out of a beautiful charade of a tree hugger
She’s a sullen wanderer with a frozen mug
Her heart fell asunder tree hugger
Tree!
She’s a tree hugger
She found a four footer follower
It was a little too much love for her
She finally found a hug
While disturbing
the wildlife
She heard the call of the city life
Migrant tundra swan
Aboard a boat either ore is good
For she’s leaving the north
Oil and the sea
Tree!
She’s a tree hugger
She found a four footer follower
It was a little too much love for her
She finally found a hug
Running up running
electricity
Sun come up out of your deepest dream
Steel on the rise skyscrapers disappear
Walk the streets free from the grizzly fear
She found a four
footer follower
It was a little too much love for her
She finally found a hug
Tree!
She’s a tree hugger
4. Salamander
Harmony
Defied
amphibian
Looking down knee deep
Where the birds don’t prey
She’s making moves on the food chain
But it’s a mighty long leap
To grab a link these days
Sit on a lily belly up for air
She never heard about the horror of the pond scum
Little child is the chow of a crocodile
Our lives are small
slippery
But we love our homes most especially
A prehistoric stranger
has our
Kingdom under stress
While we file him under danger
We’ve got to save our breath
They marched a webbed
Feet of destruction
Gathered arms even fell in the ranks
Even the feistiest salamander
Had a little shake
When they felt the thunder
They felt a splash
Our lives are small
slippery
But we love our homes
Most especially
Bing Bam Boom blow
on a reed
Sing the song of victory
Anything is possible the
World we can achieve
When our species comes together
We’ll be working like a team
Our lives are small
slippery
But we love our homes most especially
Salamander, salamander
harmony
Salamander happiness and harmony
5. Secret Handshake
Just passing time Unwinding in the woods
Sitting on a stump trying to find laughter
Take a look above Can you climb a ladder?
And join the highest private hideaway
Bright kerosene
gonna make the night glow
The talk’s obscene
Can you tell a sick joke?
The finest telescope
Lunch money can afford
One eye inside amplifies the moon
We’re doing
out of love of an Illegal Milkshake
Got cookies shake it down
If you want to get in the club above
There’s a secret handshake
Step up don’t make a sound
Secret Handshake
There's secret handshake
They guard their fort with a foil, shield and sword
The shaky plants are barely strong enough to hold
A feathered neighbor occupies the hole next door
And stolen magazines are spread across the floor
And cool refreshments are awaiting by the pool
The only door at four foot four keeps out the old
We’re doing
out of love of an Illegal Milkshake
Got cookies shake it down
If you want to get in the club above
There’s a secret handshake
Step up don’t make a sound
Secret Handshake
There's secret handshake
Secret Handshake
Show me the secret handshake
6. Funicular
We're on the inside, and you're outside
Chasing a streak of light, that's out of sight
Journey and jumping bee, flee from the urban stew
Your days are numbered here,
some say you often walk a fine line
We might descend,
we might ascend
Although we might never reach level ground again
We're on the incline
yes the incline and its not as fun as it looks
We're on the incline yes the incline and its not as fun as it looks
Blot out the memory,
remember to forget
But like a sneeze don't hold it in, bottle it better yet
Red kite don't fade away, carry the autumn new
True flight unravels, gold string without an end
It makes the present
more fun if you could shake the future
But the future is only on a rent to own!
We might descend, we might ascend
Although we might never reach level ground again
We can design a
grand escape away from life's worries
No bad news tonight
Siren calls at ease, the siren calls at ease.
We're on the incline
yes the incline and its not as fun as it looks
We're on the incline yes the incline and its not as fun as it looks
7. In the Groove
Follow
every sign
Through an exit a way inside
Opinions collide on bridges
Only got one river to cross
Slow down to a stop
Look around you'll find a lot
In through one style
Inside you're gonna strut your stuff
Drink down to hiccup
Pick a little weed for good luck
Like the white surf
hits the sand
Fans rush the stage and join the band
They're in the groove
A thousand pounding snares
Screaming guitars fill the air
They're in the groove
A well welcomed
guest
Can’t leave with one goodbye
Hunger wide-awake
The band serves the final plate
Step into the ride
Collect the set list inside your mind
With music navigator
You’ll find another concert site
The band rips up
a tune
Stretch their necks improve the view
They're in the groove
And the band is happy too
Cause we’re here and half met you
We’re in the groove
We’re in the groove
Shining rays of
colored lights
Laser beams cut through the night
They're in the groove
House of empty seats
Dancing souls have found their beat
They're in the groove
And the band is happy too
Cause we’re here and half met you
Up up down down
left right left right b a select start.
8. Jackson
Keep on rolling to the final scene
Set the clock and watch the sun rise
Start to dance with
a motion
Get inspired tap some energy
Swing your arms and let the floor rise
let your feet feel the maze
Got your feet up
sitting pretty
Get inspired tap some energy
Feeling flows from within
Time is key to creation
Start turning it clockwise
You can unlock your head
Keep following the summit
Keep rolling to the final scene
Keep on rolling
to the final scene
Set the clock and watch the sun rise
Start to dance with
a motion
Get inspired tap some energy
Swing your arms and let the floor rise
let your feet feel the maze
Throwing his art
till the night gives way
To a light that is white and starts the age
Unconsciousness drips fling everywhere
Such a happy mess of schemes on the canvas
Time is key to creation
Start turning it clockwise
You can unlock your head
Keep following the summit
Keep rolling to the final scene
Keep on rolling
to the final scene
Set the clock and watch the sun rise
