[Instrumental]

Good Old Friend Is this just an endless stream Another day get up and dream In decision, in despair Romantic’s life is just not fair But why must this happen day in and day out Why must my hope always end up in doubt Is my fate just to be some unknown shroud I’m not sure, sure, sure sure If I could see what was wrong with you I would understand If I could see what was wrong with myself I’d be more of a man And if I could see what was wrong with this whole world I would lend my helping hand And what about you, what about you, and what about you My good old friends The earth spins ‘round a day goes by I’m feeling healthy I don’t mind Trying to make another buck This modern world really sucks But why must this happen day in and day out Why must my hope always end up in doubt Is my fate just to be an unknown shroud I’m not sure, sure, sure sure If I could see what was wrong with you I would understand If I could see what was wrong with myself I’d be more of a man And if I could see what was wrong with this whole world I would lend my helping hand And what about you, what about you, what about you My good old friends And what about you What about you And you, and you, and you You

You are gray I am if you say I am I’ve known you through a flood of lifetimes When I catch a glimpse of the twinkle in your eye You smile with knowledge of my notice And lure me into the comfort of your mind I may not have been ready any time before But I’m the man I’m supposed to be now You are my forever girl You’re always in my dreams Since time was young you’ve just been One step out of reach Time makes no limits on imagination We’re as old as we want to be When you meet someone special over and over But each time unable to be complete I believe that she’s out there somewhere And I hope when I find her I’m what she needs She is my forever girl Always on my mind Lost and found forever girl One step out of time Why do I feel like gravity When I only want to be the breeze I feel the magnetic pull of something Stronger than the passage of time Two beings entwined in the destiny of nature Creating art from division so sublime Yes I am forever girl Always in your dreams Lost and found forever girl One step out of reach You are my forever girl Always on my mind You are forever girl One step out of time Time, time, time, time, time, time, time The rays of the sun are making shadows somewhere The rays of the sun are making shadows somewhere It may be sunny here but it’s raining over there The rays of the sun are making shadows somewhere The rays of the sun are making shadows somewhere It may be raining here but it’s sunny over there

Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties Beasties believe in endless pleas, a tease to ease their freakasies Rants beyond the eyes of dawn comes alive on seeds of song Creepy empty space in time delineates my aching rhyme Sometimes heated sorrow becomes true bliss Even if I’ve tried to find a pathway to a better clime If my try seemed vastly dark, no glimmer of light, no sign of a spark Even though I feel the pull, of every bad decision culled Between my spirit’s dream untold, I believe there’s something to this A beastie is not just human, psychically diminished ruin Devoured through and through in, darkly depths within Failed like a withered blowhard, delinquent emotional shit-tard Lost in a ghastly brain fart, disgusted that it’s so hard As the art flows through your heart, coloured by dissenting marks Leaving space to be replaced by moments of un-splendored grace Contradictory desire, contorting even arts’ inspired No one believes that they can change this Enlightened business of the claw, reaches out to touch yet mauls The flesh, the soul, the bonds of cold, demeaning self control Distracted yet from the timely set of requirements of human debt Without the sense to feel remiss, I believe there’s something to this A beastie is not just human, psychically diminished ruin Devoured through and through in, darkly depths within Failed like a withered blowhard, delinquent emotional shit-tard Lost in a ghastly brain fart, disgusted that it’s so hard Whether we be strong or weak, whether there’s a final peak Clever, life is, so to speak, a vacuum of aloneness Grip the charcoal control your grasp, paint by numbers without a task Black and white oblivious lapse, the actions that define us Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties Beasties live with hopes of chance, change their queer by circumstance No special needs or crucial greed, just find a place to be at ease No one understands their pain, superficial attempt to gain A freedom from their madness Never worry that beasties exist, within that space of time persists A fluid reminder of the lost track of time were there any involving the mind Beyond what is normal, a beastie is formally challenged to be what it’s formed Unique is better than sameness, a freedom from their madness Unique is better than sameness, a freedom from their madness Unique is better than sameness, a freedom from their madness (Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties) Unique is better than sameness, a freedom from their madness (Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties) Unique is better than sameness

He’s a big Tyrannosaurus, about 80 feet long Big and ugly and awful strong Got a roar that rings like a gong Just leaving destruction as he moves along Jenny Lou playing on the steps, doesn’t know that he’s loose yet A big dinosaur from another age, about to crush her porch in a rage Run Jenny Lou, he’s coming after you He’s got no sense of humor and he plans on eating you There’s nothing you can do, there’s nothing you can say Turn up the radio and hope he’ll dance away to the Dinosaur Dinosaur rock I’m making lots of money and I like it a lot He does the Dinosaur Dinosaur rock It's the same old game it’s the same old schlock Dinosaur Dinosaur rock Dinosaur Dinosaur rock Dinosaur Dinosaur rock Dinosaur Yeah, dinosaur rock There’s always been a music that sounds like it It’s a heavy kind of dance and it goes like this Put one foot forward and shake your hips Then jump up and down ‘til the record skips There’s prehistoric passion in the rhythm of the drums Hearts beating in the tar pits everybody’s overcome You thought they were extinct, then you were surely fooled Even though their brains are small they really had a groove So listen on your radio, tune in on your video Really big sound from the days gone by There’s nothing you can do, there’s nothing you can say Turn up the radio and hope he’ll dance away to the Dinosaur Dinosaur rock I’m making lots of money and I like it a lot He does the Dinosaur Dinosaur rock It’s the same old game it’s the same old schlock Dinosaur Dinosaur rock Dinosaur Dinosaur rock Dinosaur Dinosaur rock Dinosaur Yeah, dinosaur rock

There’s a call to arms in the world today Fear and greed seem to lead the way Driven by invertebrates Who can’t stand up, we’ve become their slaves To control your world, and drive you mad Make you think that it all has gone bad Without a knowledge of the past Or sense of logic even if crass We’ll take a pass Stand up and be counted Listen heed the call Stand up and be counted You’re an individual Stand up and be counted Hey you, up against the wall Stand up and be counted You’re no individual Who among us will heed the call Support the cause to freedom’s hall With a sincere sense of it all As we stand up, see the cracks in their wall To control our food, our air and minds Truth so painful, sheep stay blind Destroying our climate is so unkind There is no sense in letting it slide If this is the future, we’ve run out of time Stand up and be counted Watch the bullies fall Stand up and be counted Many individuals Stand up and be counted Hey you, up against the wall Stand up and be counted You’re no individual They attack our culture, attach our bonds Detach our future, they’d rather build bombs They divide to conquer, and take our funds We can take down their egos, open their flaws Teach them some lessons about passing bad laws Stand up to the bullies, stand up to the fear Stand up to the cowards, stand up to the sheep We’ll stand up as humans, stand for our needs Bullies come and bullies go History has the skill to show What happened before we now know Can happen today if we don’t grow Small minded beings inhabit the earth Millions of creatures primordial birth Beings not capable of filling the dearth Breeding new bullies without any worth Can we defeat them, they seem so immersed Stand up and be counted Hey you, hear the call Stand up and be counted If you’re an individual Stand up and be counted Hey you Watch the bullies fall Stand up and be counted Many individuals Stand up and be counted Sheep need not stall Stand up and be counted We’re all Individuals Stand up and be counted Hey you Time to move the wall Stand up and be counted You’re all individuals Stand Up

I took a few deep breaths, took my mind off the mess Into the outer reaches of the cosmos I leapt Where questions were not asked, because no one there is tasked With beings with brains evolving They keep needing to know how and why If my quest has found a light to shine There was a calm in the universe As the experience fell exclusively to the human experiments Affecting no one and nothing in the outer worlds Yet essential in evolving the universal goals I felt the calm, it was strengthening I knew my fate and my destiny I felt the resolve to accomplish my mission To understand the cause of those irrational emotions Here I see the difference, but fail to see how One can choose to be one or the other Is it math, or science, father or mother What beastie are you and what are you made of Controlled from within and unable to feel love Does nature, genetics, society Universal guidance or a combo of these Attributes and deflections Unguided sad reflections Cause one human to be kind and fair And another obsessed with power will just not care The beastie Empathy will shake your core Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before If you have the conscience to lovehelp one another Empathy is mother nature’s lover The beastie Fear can shake your core Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before Creates no conscience to help one another Fear is not mother nature’s lover The beastie Greed can shake your core Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before Destroys the conscience to help another Greed is definitely not nature’s lover The beastie Hate can shake your core Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before Manipulates the conscience to hell with one another Hate cannot be mother nature’s lover The beastie Hope will shake your core Makes you feel deeply what you never felt before Enlarges your conscience to help one another Hope is truly mother nature’s lover Empathy You see it in the floods and in the fires You see it in the hurricanes of human desire Empathy You feel it in the panic to your cries Your actions show your feelings as your spirit starts to rise Empathy Drives you like an engine deep inside To do what’s right no matter there’s no prize Empathy Empathy Starts to rise

Some say to live and let live is being alive They move about the planet just trying to survive Content as a bee provides for the hive As the queen, so serene waits patiently to die Some say that life is to experience the ride That feeling of being takes you to the ends of time Why bother to be worried when a sickness seeps inside Try to be one, who can feel the sun and lets their lovelight shine Without the drive to see outside their driven genetic complacency Humans divided by decency Believe in impossibilities Enjoy the abundant delicacies Can’t control what is destiny Just love and let love Some say that life is just a fantasy This hologram is not a true symbol of reality 3D and so deep beyond the mind’s capacity We have become a victim of technology Some say that life is just a history You try to make something that remains your legacy Could be cast as revisionist memories To be whole inside, and feel the ride to lovelight is free Without the drive to see outside their driven genetic complacency Humans divided by decency Believe in impossibilities Enjoy the abundant delicacies Can’t control what is destiny Just love and let love Some say that time and space are just distractions Those who haven’t lived them just cannot fathom I see the universe expanding toward the horizon We see the earth, another birth could be another victim Some say we have a fate beyond our means To be part of something larger as we live out our dreams Scattered among all human screams Try to be defining Always be shining Your lovelight gleams Without the drive to see outside their driven genetic complacency Humans divided by decency Believe in impossibilities Enjoy the abundant delicacies Can’t control what is destiny Just love and let love Without the drive to see outside their driven genetic complacency Humans divided by decency Believe in impossibilities Enjoy the abundant delicacies Can’t control what is destiny Just love and let love

Dive like a mad man, a flying crying sad man Circle the ground on wings of hope Believe you can fly for as long as you can Dive towards the crazy, the ultimate joy Don’t be lazy or shy or coy Be the bird, not some beastie in your mind Discover the thrill as the sun burns your eyes There is no awareness to tell you to stop The ground comes ever closer to ending your drop You gotta dive Leap from the precipice Into the abyss You gotta dive like this Dive like the strong one, or some insipid wrong one Watching your shadow on the earth below The jump is your freedom, if you truly won Dive to the future, your past is long gone The open door of nature begs for your song See as those around you in amazement they watch The whole scene is changing to a world you can touch It’s all heading towards you, continue to fall There is only you in your head to answer your call You gotta dive Magic in motion Believe that you can You gotta dive Like I am Dive Like I am Dive like you know it’s the best way to go Imagine what’s good and not what’s down below Your wings may evolve but you’ve never been here Feel the rush of the fall as you break the air Believe there’s an option, the end is not near It’s all in your hands, your mind and you’re clear To dream big and hopeful, smile ear to ear Give change a chance Dive without fear You gotta dive Leap from the precipice Into the abyss You gotta dive like this Dive Like this Dive Dive Like this

“Why” becomes the question When answers are evolving As the questions are asked from many perspectives Many options exist “Why Not” may be the solution As there may be no correct answers Each being only serves the purpose Of moving time forward And time never stops But that doesn’t mean that anything is linear Humans are the most curious of species With traits of all beings that evolved before them Along with that special stardust imbedded within their genetic code They think, they feel, procreate Evolve, manifest and deviate Other species on the planet respect, fear and/or idolize And time never stops But that doesn’t mean that anything is clearer Yet there are some humans whose animal instincts Deep internal grief and conditioning Have made them dangerous to the planet itself I have discovered directly in my face The cause perplexing the human race On the planet, as bigotry and hate Division, anger, fear and greed were the same Curses that had destroyed previous universal experiments Yeah Once a meteor was sent instead of a messenger To restart this planet all over again Uh Huh Can humans evolve to be more than just food chain Awww “Why” is the equation When answers are evolving As the questions are asked From many perspectives Many versions exist “Why Not” is deviation As there may be no correct answers Each being only serves the purpose To reproduce or die “Why” is the big picture When answers are not coming As the questions are asked from many perspectives Many universes exist “Why Not” may be the answer As there may be no correct questions Each being only serves the purpose Of human evolution And time never stops Never stops Never stops Never stops Never stops

I’ve come to consider at a time like this The cost to a soul of the price of a kiss A futile desire for the simplest twist Of nature’s grace and human bliss To crave for a simple emotional lift A gesture, or words, an encouraging gift Instead to be burdening creating a rift Time makes change the practical shift To dream like a young man With the knowledge of the ages like a stupid anagram Never know just who steps up ‘Cause anything can happen Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Again I consider the price of a kiss When they are free everywhere, and can be had for an ask Can this be discussed with mutual respect Or best set aside for that moment when if Imaginary reality is the kindest routine Insecurity can destroy the strong dreamer’s dream Hopeless it would seem to believe that it’s real Must carve out time and space to heal To love like a young man The universe guides me Like some fucked up hologram Never know just who’ll step up ‘Cause anything can happen Giving back for lessons learned Paying forward for graces earned Giving back for lessons learned Paying forward for graces earned To dream like a young man With the knowledge of the ages Like a stupid anagram To love like a young man The universe guides me Like some fucked up hologram Never know just who’ll step up ‘Cause anything can happen Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned Giving back for graces earned Paying forward for lessons learned

I’m no foolish old man I’ll tell you what is real or what’s real in your mind The smartest old man A younger man’s dream in a well-worn main frame Smoothest old man Though no one can believe that this pretty girl is into me Foolish old man He is just delusional, he’s losing his facilities I’m such a clever old man with a checkered past No one could believe that my luck would last As long as it has never having to lose Wealthy and entitled built a world I could rule A traumatized boy with no patience to wait Within him bad beasties beyond human restraint In between the agony, this humorless beast Can’t be trusted to be kind, to say the least He’s a foolish old man Foolish old man Not sure what is real or what’s real in his mind He’s no foolish old man Foolish old man He’s a younger man’s dream in a well-worn main frame Just a foolish old man Foolish old man I can’t believe that pretty girl is really kinda into him No foolish old man Foolish old man You are delusional and losing your facilities Hey you foolish old man with a head way too large Why do you let all of this greed take charge My profit and fame are my true reward And none of it needs to be shared with the world Do you believe that you alone can decide all of their fates Without science, conscience, morals or a healthy debate I alone am the smartest, the greatest, the one Who can keep the wheels turning and get the job done You’re a foolish old man Foolish old man Why don’t you believe him, he’s trying to do everything I’m no foolish old man Foolish old man Just a younger man’s dream that may be what you’re looking for Not a foolish old man Foolish old man That pretty girl was always just so repulsed by him What a foolish old man Foolish old man You are so delusional, the sheep will turn away from you You’re not really a great capitalist, you’re nothing more than a narcissist What happened to those promises, to change the fate for the rest of us He never meant you Citizens, he was looking out for his brethren What about the families, freedoms and prosperity Hey you foolish old man, we see through your scam Even those who had been fooled realize they’ve been had You had your time controlling our lives for your plan Now the universe might try to take its own stand Foolish old man Foolish old man Not sure what is real or what’s real in his mind Foolish old man Foolish old man I’m a younger man’s dream in a decrepit old main frame Foolish old man Foolish old man Nobody believed that pretty girl was into him Foolish old man Foolish old man You are just as disposable as all of your commodities When that foolish old man was laid down in his grave Natural cause the culprit from a life full of waste There will be other beasties following bad beasties’ desire To win by all means, set the planet on fire Foolish old man Foolish old man Foolish old man Foolish old man Foolish old man Foolish old man You’re just a fool

You may think that I don’t love you Or you may think I’m just a fool I’ve just always had this trouble staying cool And when you’ve gone and left us For some other memories Take the knowledge we’ve been humbled and set free You’ve gotta understand I’m just tryin’ to be my own kind of man You’ve gotta understand I’m not useless and I’m doing the best I can Do what you want, take what you need, leave what ya don’t Don’t soften Opportunity knocks just once, but greed knocks often It can nail your coffin You’ve gotta understand I’m just tryin’ to be my own kind of man You’ve gotta understand I’m not helpless and I’m doing the best I can And in your darkest moments I hope I brought you light Even as I’ve grown up keeping right Remember all the good times Keep the spirit in your heart And always keep the heavens on your charts You gotta understand I’m just tryin’ to be my own kind of man You’ve gotta understand I’m not useless and I’m doing the best I can You’ve gotta understand You’ve gotta understand

I wake another morning at the dawning lost in thought Wonder about the thunder in my mind and in my heart Moving to the future in the nurture of the pain Alone with distant music pounding rhythms in the rain Human yet immortal lost in time outside the portal Given to disaster with a thought of dying faster Hope can be fleeting, never have the chance of being The saving grace of knowledge and change Be the one, who inspires the sun and blooms the flowers in springtime Hope is the only magic that illuminates the strange Give love to each other Be kind to strangers Maybe hope is the answer Whatever the question Can’t be too kind Another day of doubt, no idea what it’s about Isolation’s not the equation to cure a human heart Belief in the possible and not the irrational Learn what is feasible even if it’s difficult The mind’s the only muscle that can make you cry Take you beyond the errant squandered wish to try Hope may not help weaklings, or narcissistic beings Working towards a solution to force their evolution Power of the mind can create the kind of feelings Destructive to the soul, deep control of sad devotion What about you? What About You? And You? Give love to each other See the kindness of strangers May hope be the answer Whatever the question Can’t be too kind, Be kind to all Kindness is the currency of the Universe. Spend Freely, spend freely. The rays of the sun are making shadows somewhere It may be sunny here but it’s raining over there Giving back from lessons learned, paying forward for graces earned Just love and let love Elation often fleeting leaves the heart slowly beating For the passage of time or the change within the mind As we witness the erosion of a soul explosion creeping We find the strength to keep our distance length behind Moving with the wind keeping fluid stance within the fire Never taking chance to enjoy the happenstance of desire Hope is a glance towards one happy dance against the odds Or be nothing more than disaster in store with only fear to follow Believe in the outcome you want and find your path to the gods Lest your wishes and dreams become manipulated schemes of horror Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties Beasties, beasties, beasties, beasties Empathy You see it in the floods and in the fires You see it in the hurricanes of human desire Empathy You feel it in your panic to your cries Your actions show your feelings as your spirit starts to rise Empathy Drives you like an engine deep inside To do what’s right no matter there’s no prize Give love to each other See the kindness of strangers Maybe hope is the answer Whatever the question, Can’t be too kind Be the love for each other See the kindness of strangers Hope IS the only answer Whatever the question Be kind to all Be kind to all Be kind to all Be kind, be kind, to all Unique is better than sameness Unique is better than sameness Beasties be kind!
