Toe Tag

God forbid
A man’s gonna get ahead
It won’t be long before
He’s eyeing up your bread
He’s ugly and he’s pissed off
Just like that mean ol’ hag
You can count on the man to track you
Until he’s tying your toe tag
He’s got a bee in his bonnet
He’s got a thorn in his side
He’s gotta make sure you struggle
And life’s a bumpy ride
He’ll scream out the death march
Until they’re lowering your flag
You can count on the man to track you
Until he’s tying your toe tag
I’m gettin’ so so tired
He’s got me on the wall
I’m feelin’ so so wired
I don’t know who to call
Time is running short now
He’s closing in too fast
Don’t know how much longer
I can last
So the moral to the story
There’s a target on your head
From the day you were born he was sworn
To squeeze you till your dead
His heart is black as coal dust
That can’t be wiped off with a rag
You can count on the man to track you
Until he’s tying your toe tag
You can count on the man to track you
Until he’s tying your toe tag
You can count on the man to track you
Until he’s tying your toe tag

Polarity
03:51
|
|

It’s ripping us all apart
They’re planting little worms in our brains
Who whisper that you are right
And anyone who doesn’t comply
Well they must be insane
Must be insane
It starts with a storyline
And ends with the illusion of choice
When the time comes to choose a side
No one wants to not have a voice
So…
I’ll say black and you’ll say white
You say talk and I’ll say fight
No wrongs make a right
Polarity
I’ll say bent and you say straight
They sell love, but it’s just hate
Still we take the bait
Polarity
Polarity
Polarity
Polarity
Behead all the worms who sell the slime
For now we are running out of time
I say: “Can’t we get along?”
You say: ”No,” because I’m wrong
So I write this song
Polarity
I’m a red neck xenophobe
You’re a snowflake in a globe
Hate is not an anaerobe
Polarity
There’s a wave of enmity
To our commonality
Eye to eye can’t see
Polarity
I say blue and you see red
What to do now someone’s dead
Bullet in my head
Polarity
Polarity
Polarity
Polarity
Ein Mann kann geboren werden
Aber um geboren zu werden
Muss er zuerst sterben
Und um zu sterben
Muss er zuerst aufwachen
Ein Mann kann geboren werden
Aber um geboren zu werden
Muss er zuerst sterben
Und um zu sterben
Muss er zuerst aufwachen…

Stardust
03:58
|
|

It’s not often we talk
But the time has come to say
That I’ve lost my way
And I don’t understand
Just how you could let
Us all get this far
From the birth of a star
To divided we fall
What happened to us
When everyone loses trust
Bring me back to stardust
Start over again
Please tell me that there’s
A heavenly plan
That I don’t understand
But I will soon enough
Please tell me this hate
And destruction of our own
Is our way back home
Where there’s nothing but love
What happened to us
When everyone loses trust
Bring me back to stardust
Start over again
What happened to us
When everyone loses trust
Bring me back to stardust
Start over again
Start over again
Maybe that was your plan

Tree of Life
04:40
|
|

We can be so hard on ourselves
Guilt is a broken record stuck up on a shelf
The minute we’re born our heart light starts to fade
If we don’t pass this test or make that grade
Repeating the pain and strife
Could by the reason why we’re
Stuck in the tree of life as it
Burns like an endless fire
Put on a ladder, told we have to climb
Why does it matter, because I feel just fine
Forcing them up to make the same mistakes
Expecting a different result, that’s insane
Repeating the pain and strife
Could by the reason why we’re
Stuck in the tree of life as it
Burns like an endless fire
Repeating the pain and strife
Could by the reason why we’re
Stuck in the tree of life as it
Burns like an endless fire
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhh
Do-do-do-do
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhh
Do-do-do-do
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhh
Do-do-do-do
Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahhh
Do-do-do-do
Time to expose my heart and touch your soul
Time to put out the fire fill the holes
When everyone lays their cards down they will know
Life it is not a game to win or fold
Repeating the pain and strife
Could by the reason why we’re
Stuck in the tree of life as it
Burns like an endless fire
Repeating the pain and strife
Could by the reason why we’re
Stuck in the tree of life as it
Burns like an endless fire
Burns like an endless fire
Burns like an endless fire

Born with a Ladle
03:11
|
|

I could lead a horse to water
I could lead a pig to slaughter
I could lead on someone’s daughter
‘Cause I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand
I could start a new religion
Spread the word just like the Gideon
I could soar up with the pigeons
‘Cause I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand
We’re all born
Of the sun
Everyone who can
Sing this verse
Holds power of the universe
But they don’t want you to know
‘Cause they’d all be on the run
We could be our future’s inspiration
Drive this crazy train into the station
Could complete our soul unification
‘Cause we were born with a ladle in our hand
We were born with a ladle in our hand
We were born with a ladle in our hand
We were born with a ladle in our hand
You were born with a ladle in your hand
You were born with a ladle in your hand
You were born with a ladle in your hand
You were born with a ladle in your hand
‘Cause I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand
I was born with a ladle in my hand

Reconcile
03:51
|
|

Memories linger
Snapshots it time
They’re deep on my mind
Can't let it go
Our days filled with laughter
And endless nights
Thought they’d shine on forever
Forever bright
But you left me all alone
And I can't just pick up the phone
So I’ll hang my head start to cry
Realize it's time to say goodbye
To those good old days it's time to
Reconcile
Reconcile
We can't change what happened
What's done is done
So I plead to the heavens
You hear this song
You hear this song
Because…
I can't hate you anymore
So I'm kicking down the door
Then I'll hang my head start to cry
Realize it's time to say goodbye
To those good old days it's time to
To those good old days it's time to
To those good old days it's time to
Reconcile
Reconcile
Reconcile

The Road
04:58
|
|
||
We spend our lives searching
For better days ahead
We got our eyes fixed on
The wrong place instead
We could step into this moment
Throw our arms around ourselves
And grab ahold
The road to happiness
Is the rainbow’s pot of gold
We walk right through Nirvana
Every single day
While her light she shines true upon us
We turn the other way
Looking for the next big thing
Things like cars and diamond rings
That are bought and sold
The road to happiness
Is the rainbow’s pot of gold
As time ticks away
There’s so much to say
And so much to give
And so much life to live
The clock’s speeding up
Reach out and fill your cup
With timeless peace and endless love
Raining sunshine from above
There’s still time to
Stop and smell the flowers
A glass of wine sitting
Right in front of the fire
Close your eyes and feel the warmth
Take a breath and smile
‘Cause you’re not out in the cold
The road to happiness
Is the rainbow’s pot of gold
The road to happiness
Is the rainbow’s pot of gold
The road to happiness
Is the rainbow’s pot of gold
Come with me on the road

They are Calling Me
09:09
|
|

Visions of a far off place
That I’ve never seen
Through her eye there comes a face
From the in between
It looks at me as if to say
You are a chosen one
And you’ve always had a part to play
In the story of the sun
They are calling me
They are calling me
They are calling me
They are calling me
A star is pulsing in the sky
As I stand outside my door
But when I return to fix my eye
It’s not there anymore
So I hang my head and start to cry
Because I’ve always known
That the day of their return it would arrive
And I could go back home
They are calling me
They are calling me
They are calling me
They are calling me
They’re calling me to rise up
And shed my ego skin
For they tell me where we’re going
There is no need to win
And everywhere is nowhere
And there is no time nor space
They tell me love’s the only way
To save the human race
They are calling me
They are calling me
They are calling me
They are calling me
They are calling me
They are calling me
They are calling me
They are calling me

Bow my Head
04:34
|
|
||
If I raised my voice and screamed at you
If I said something that wasn’t true
I bow my head before you now
I bow my head before you now
Please forgive me somehow
If I’ve shrugged away your deepest love
If my push has ever come to shove
I bow my head before you now
I bow my head before you now
Please forgive me somehow
The time has come to end my ego trip
Leave mister pride back at the door
For he’s the captain of a sinking ship
And I won’t be sinking anymore
Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
If I’ve judged you harsh or treated you wrong
Can I make it right here with this song
I bow my head before you now
I bow my head before you now
I bow my head before you now
I bow my head before you now
Please forgive me somehow
Please forgive me
Please forgive me somehow
Please forgive me
Please forgive me somehow

Queen's Age
06:33
|
|
||
Reaching down to touch the baby’s face
I see the stars, the moonlit skies
The universe within her eyes
My heart explodes, I start to cry
As she smiles
Peach and pink and lavender and lace
Adorn the queendom and it’s walls
Pervade her space and fill her halls
A new age of the heart it calls
Calls to me
The queen’s age
Turn the page
Man’s reign has run
Reaching up to the wipe tears away
I put myself into her place
Knowing there’s no time nor space
Our newborn soul we can’t replace
Who we are
The queen’s age
Turn the page
Man’s reign has run
The queen’s age
Burning sage
Looking at the heart of the sun
Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah
Reaching out, I hold her to my chest
Her tiny heart, it pierces mine
Feeds my world, the bread and wine
Her pale blue skin, the Celestine is born
The queen’s age
Turn the page
Man’s reign has run
The queen’s age
Burning sage
Looking at the heart
Looking at the heart
Looking at the heart of the sun
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ah-ah
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ah-ah
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ah-ah
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ah-ah…
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh…
