Let’s start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
When you read you begin with A, B, C
When you sing you begin with do re mi
The first 3 notes just happen to be do re mi
When you read you begin with A -B -C
When you sing you begin with Do Re Mi
Doe - a deer a female deer
Ray - a drop of golden sun
Me - a name I call myself
Far - a long way to run
Sew - a needle pulling thread
La - a note to follow so
Tea - a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Doe

Days without sun
A brand new name
A culture of power
Small angels and big churches
All demand your best hours
Caribbean mountains where the coffee grows so fair and high
Fly my son like the wind
Always following the Rara music
Dinosaur
Dinosaur
Jump ship!
All this can be yours
On the left coast
Henchy’s house is gone
Stolen for a song
Sticking knives in our ears
There were chicks in your hair
Dirt in the air
Your definitely didn’t want to be there
Dinosaur
Dinosaur
Out in the avenues
Where the sky hangs low and gray
We all work in advertising
We’re all stuck on ladies rings
There’s no bears in the hills
Tigers in my head
Wolves baking bread in my backyard
It’s a big yellow truck
Get your own beer you fuck
It’s the Real World knocking on the door

Mountains

Mountains are climbed
One step at a time
Arms are up
To the sky
Paint the water tower
With my voice
Now I say what I say
And I feel what I feel
The Palisades can scare you though
The snow will fall and then it will go
Always be at the beginning
A good place to start
And I miss you
And I miss you
And I miss you
Mountains are climbed
One step at a time

Glue-All

Safe and non-toxic
Bonds strong
For all your needs
Glue-All
Ideal for children
Dries clear
Keep from freezing
If so, give it 35 minutes
Put me back together
Put me back
Put me back together
Put me back
Bonds most porous materials
Like paper or cloth
And semi-porous materials
Like a piece of wood or of myself
Put me back together
Put me back
Put me back together
Put me back
Put me back together
Put me back
Put me back together
Put me back

Figure 5

Among the rain
and lights
I saw the figure 5
In gold
on a red
firetruck
moving
tense
unheeded
to gongs clangs
siren howls
and wheels rumbling
through the dark city

Imagine
03:39

Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
No religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
Do you hear that call?
No need for greed or hunger
A fellowship of all
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be one
