Gnome Parade
Going to the park today, come along and we will play
with the fancy creatures we will meet,
when they play the plinger man they never miss a beat
people gawk and some will stare
just because there's fairies laughin' in my hair
and they know the time, of things we have inside
they will wait until the time is right
chorus:
they will try to help you go on your way
they will show you everything, what you could do today
(don't mind if I do today) they can open your mind up
(don't mind if I do today) they can root your tuber
(don't mind if I do today) they can crack your nutshell today
Sorren's got an oak baton, Sheila's got her red cap on
they are dancing in the gnome parade
if they let you see them then you've got it made
skip a step and crack a toe
that's what they call you gnome step now don't you know
and you're feeling fine, with the fairies keeping time
they will let you know that you're alright
chorus:

One Foot on the Earth, One Hand in The Sky
Calling all my uncles, 'bout the feeling of the sky
here they come the funkles, throwing down they'll get you high
sitting in the bathroom, gazing through my real third eye
holding onto the loom, weaving hard to make the pie
kiss my brother, love my mother
bless my sister, love my mister
creaming through the fan fair, here it comes we got to try
open up and you're there, there's no need to question why
timeless observation, 'bout the goodness of the sky
simple perturbation, get it right before you die
kiss my grandma, hold my grandpa
bless my cousin, love my dozen
and the king of the fifth generation
never ventured outside of the castle
out of touch with all the population
he ruled, he would pull his curtain tassel
back and look out, without much common sense,
upon his lands, and during the great fig
famine he would sadly wail by the fence
of the castle, a sight to see, his wig
falling off, attended by his best boy
"I want my fig newtons, and a toy."
dip into the water, loosen up your mental tie
play like a sea otter, laugh it up and then you sigh
better pay attention, do to much and you will fry
guess I'd better mention, one foot on the earth one hand in the sky
kiss my mindhole, hold my brainpole
bless my heart toll, love my soulmole

Final Find
Even with the color of your face, you will be found
no matter where your living place, he'll come around
freedom is your right to choose, so you are to blame
forgiving those who told us lies, he will show you how
look on up into the sky, everyday
let your nipples burst with joy, he's gonna say
Calling the Senators:
Let the smoke blend clear your mind
Psychedelic polyculturalistic pontifications
Listen to our psychedelic sound
he don't care the color of your face, so why should I?
containing virtually every space, and that's no lie
dancing you will catch his funky stare, it falls on you
just ask and you shall receive, marriage of minds
don't take the time to deceive, it's on the line
I'm gonna tell you 'bout the sign, if you give a care
Mount Olympus:
At the time of your death all will be revealed
so you take some poison to pull back the veil
seeing secrets that were meant only for the dead and enlightened
you will see some things out there to spilt you mind open wise
and when you've seen all the days you've had
you'll find you'll find you're final find
and when you're standing on the mountain top
look down on us in the valley below
and when you come back down you'd better bring back all you saw
man, that shit ain't no secret small
Self-contained you have all you need, but distractions can blind
don't cover up, you're the seed, let it unwind
so we can rise up above, the daily grind

Close Your Eyes
The millstone will grind you, and make you so smooth
everyone will want you to make their wonder bread
bread has many meanings, keep that in your head
a single sentence can have many meanings now
just close your eyes boy, because now you're trippin hard
Welcome to a world that has no language to describe it
just sit back and relax the real deal is now
don't try to talk now, your fountain just let go
just sit back and listen to everything you know
just close your eyes girl, because now you're trippin' hard
When I look into the future, I see what's going on
and when I look into the picture I see where I'm coming from
when I look in the sky now you know it really freaks my shit
and when you hold me in your eyes now, man you know that I'm your friend
so hold me in the knowledge the knowledge of the flow
because you can't hold nothing, man you can't hold nothing and let it flow

Hide Away
Open the door, you have the key
take this gift, for you from me
I normally don't show it, I normally don't let it out
but today is a little bit different
I'm gonna fly to a place I only dream of
and I'm gonna show you a place in my mind I normally
hide away from the external world
hide away secret places in my world
That's what I'm gonna show you today
Feelings of fancy colors dancing in my skull
brought about by nothing special, it's just that you are here
colors of amazing potential flashing through my head
warmth penetrating through my chest with my defenses shed
I'm gonna fly past the clouds of confusion
and I'm gonna show the whole world what it's all about
Flying through the sky, high into the ozone
feeling weightless floating around, up and down almost puking
silence surrounds, calmness abounds
come with me, I'll show you my
hide away from the external world
hide away secret places yet unfurled
Open the aura, Abracadavera
Turn the key right now, you can turn the key right now
open up the door, it's not locked any more

Cowmen
When the Cowmen go prancing away
their gonna leave you drippin', mouth hangin' open
they just filled your inner self with manna,
Grandmaw, Grandpaw paw
teeth turned to metal and a fire in your eyes
is gonna be the only way that they can tell you're in the sky
Chorus 1:
The setting's an important choice
so hold it in your mind 'till you hear that voice
Hold me now and don't look away
because I just touched back down now
help me stay a few moments with you and then I'll be gone
back into the world of the color song
the sky dropped a tendril into my skull
using me to probe around now nothing is dull
Chorus 2:
If the set is not quite right
you must delay the journey to see the inner light
Space:
When you see them coming to you
you know that they are there to help you
through the sky, see them flying
through the sky, Cowmen prancing
When your reality is turned on
just sit back on the green lawn, you're gonna see them
through the sky, see them prancing
through the sky, Cowmen dancing
Many things are what they reveal to you
it's so simple to live right and feel new
but if you eat from the knowledge tree just for fun
you will find something unpleasant when youÕre done
you might burn your wings off in the sun, in the sun
Grab the milk jug and hold it high
light it on fire now and don't ask why
when you see it burning there
your mind will fill with wonder and you won't care
they're gonna find you laughin' now
with the drippin' of the fire and the feeling of wow
Chorus 1:
Illusions strip away and you will find
the most important thing is your time
and how you look at your friends and what you said
the thoughts that you allow to dwell in your head
all these things together will govern your soul
they might just keep you away from the gumption hole
Chorus 2:

Senses Can
Come along with me and take a peek at reality
our senses move so slow
there's a million things that you'll never know
Chorus:
To say that something is ''Real''
means it's something that you can feel
there's plenty out there my man
beyond the limits of your senses can.
So now you can see the shallowness of reality
the human mind can't hold
everything within our fold
Chorus
So even what you can't see
Can be more real that reality
take a trip and you'll learn
how deep is my butter churn
Chorus

Sky Friend
When the day comes to an end
I like to say hello to my friend
who lives in the sky
and does he hear? I do not know
but he replies, so I guess so
my earthly friends say I am wrong
like santa clause, don't believe for long
Now of the things I know first hand
this is one about which I'll never be bland
I'll never be bland about my friend
in ancient days to mentions him aloud
would get you stoned by an angry crowd
and today it's almost the same
all the free thinkers don't wanna know his name
Vocal solo
If my friend was a bowl of rice
I'd offer it to you once but not twice
no one likes rice shoved down their throat
and that's the problem in the world today
people believe that there's only one way
they should spend more time, more time alone
quietly contemplating the great unknown
Now when you hear the words of men
ask yourself, who moved his pen
and you will see goodness of his brain

Franklin Joe
Franklin Joe was a burly toad but he'd never seen the road
sitting on a leaf pile was his favorite mode
waiting for mosquitos, his tongue will be a lapping now
you might thinks he's happy, but this boy's got a furrowed brow
he's fine, why my!
Grasshoppers a jumping, things are lookin' fine
the sun is rising, the dew's like crystal wine
"I'm gonna have a toad dream", I think I heard him say
I think he said it often, he said it every day
are you afraid, no I'm not, then you're going blind
Later in the afternoon when he was back again
Franklin went a hoppin' into the big grassy glen
sayin' howdy to his neighbor, and howdy to his foe
spreading out his goodness so that the earth could grow
Franklin Joe was not a man, he did the best any toad can
he's fine, why my!
Playin' with the tadpoles and laughin' with the band
he could make you happy with a croak that was so grand
pointing to the clover and sittin' on my knee
he would look straight in my eye and he would say to me
can you dig it? yeah I know you can
Franklin Toad would walk along the shallows of his reeds
looking down onto his toes and wondering on his deeds
he would stop and see his friends and they would talk a lot
about the things they noticed that day and the things that they knew not
they would tell a story there about a road far away
the mouse had seen it and the grasshopper could fly there in a day
Franklin Toad set out to find this thing of which they spoke
his provisions consisted of a single bag of smoke
Master Toad found the road and the lights that fly
stepping forward to liberation and the sky

Separation
We all need space to do our own thing but the hate of a clan is another thing
go ahead and keep your eyes on the prize but to cut yourself off is not too wise
I hear a lot of brothers out there preaching separation
hear a lot of brothers out there advocating separation
Us and them is the way it goes, that's how they create your foes
they cut you off and send you away so they can hate you and feel okay
I hear a lot of sisters out there talkin' about separation
hear a lot of sisters out there check 'em out, separation
Race and groups only divide, they fill the weak with false pride
do your best but the token thing will cut you back down and clip your wings
I hear a lot of people out there diggin' in, separation
lot of people out there signin' up, separation
Torn apart by multiglue the shortness of your sight
hollow words will lead the coup, diversity tonight
I won't buy it, your racial diet
