New Age Blues

You got affirmations you practice patience
you visualize and you chant
but down beneath like a little thief
the belief still says I can't
so you blame reality 'cause duality's
always got somethin' up it's sleeve
well the joke's on you your aura too
better take your karma and leave

New age blues someone dropped your crystal
new age blues better get a metaphysical
new age blues new age blues
I don't wanna hear 'bout your energy

While you seek enlightenment your uptightenment's
drivin' your friends away
in your search for meanin' your cosmic schemin'
you've forgotten how to play
there's so much anxiety to your piety
you're givin' love a bad name
may I suggest lower consciousness
and give us all a break

New age blues your 'theric bod won't travel
new age blues it's 'cause you're stuck up in your astral
new age blues new age blues
I don't wanna hear 'bout your energy

You got some real bad news heard that your guru's
tryin' to get in everyone's pants
now what do you do you're still stuck with you
well that's the name of this dance
but if you let love speak you won't need technique
'cause love always knows the way
stop tryin' to be happy you won't feel so crappy
everything will be okay

New age blues hey babe you celibate still?
new age blues no wonder you're so m'sble
new age blues anybody wanna network?
new age blues sure beats tryin' to get work
new age blues new age blues I don't wanna hear 'bout your new age blues

Leave Your Body

Darlin' you mean so much to me
you and all your entities
but when I want some love and passion
I don't wanna share the action
with those dead Egyptians or Tibetans
outer space folks tryin' to get in
I can set your spirit free
leave your body here with me

Now other guys have just one girl
with you I've got whole other worlds
the rollin' eyes and spinnin' head
the way you levitate the bed
so come on girl and take your chances
send your guides back to Atlantis
feelin' extrasensory
leave your body here with me

Leave your body oh baby baby
leave your body oh baby baby baby
I'll show you my specialty
if you'll leave your body here with me

Now I don't really mind possession
someone to answer cosmic questions
but when I want a little kiss
why should I need an exorcist
so tell your friends from the Pleiades
go possess some other ladies
feelin' extrasensory
leave your body here with me

Leave your body oh baby baby
leave your body oh baby baby baby
you want thrills like no one has 'em
we'll have a protoplasmgasm

Family Metaphysical

Sister's into wheat grass brother's into juice fast
mama's into lives past goin' bye bye bye
daddy's explanation it's all reincarnation
an' baby's seein' auras with her big third eye

Sister's into healin' brother's into feelin'
ain't no one into stealin' I say my my my
family's tryin' to balance extraordinary talents
and baby's seeein' saucers flyin' in the sky

Hey now it's so quizzical this family metaphysical
everythin's so mystical but we get by
while the family might be wacky hey we're kind of happy
and baby keep's us laughin' feelin' ha-ha-ha- high

Sis is into tarot while bro' thinks he's a pharaoh
mama doesn't care though she's in outer space
dad's into transcendin' all the spoons are into bendin'
and baby's busy sendin' her love every place

Hey now it's so quizzical this family metaphysical
I sometimes feel invisible can't you see
while they're all zennin' on the mountain I'm a certified accountant
I guess I'm just the odd one in this family

Earth Changes

Earth changes Earth changes you're crackin' me up
I'm startin' to hear 'bout all sorts of weird stuff
it's the bomb it's the comets it's the dark, dark days upon us
or so say the folks who all quote Nostradamus

Earth changes Earth changes oh prophets of doom
it sounds like disaster's your favorite tune
if it makes you feel better get it out, out of your system
and tell us about the next big cataclysm

Okay, the poles they will shift and volcanoes will bellow
L.A.'s gonna disappear New York turn to jello
there'll be tidal waves earthquakes fissures and cracks-es
the Earth's gonna be screamin', "You can all kiss my axis goodbye-bye-bye"

Earth changes Earth changes if it's like they said
then there's no use a-hidin' out under your bed
but don't get depressed and run, run off to the bottle
the Earth's tryin' to tell us, it's time to remodel"

Earth changes Earth changes less greed would be nifty
and how's about peace for our big polar shifty
a whole lot more love and a big, big dose of patience
comin' alive to the joys of Creation

Earth changes Earth changes and so can we
for all of the changes are in you and me
with so much sweet love is it really surprisin'
a new Earth is dawnin' upon the horizon
Earth changes, Earth changes, Earth Changes

Spaceship

It was back in '47 Kenneth Arnold flew the heavens
said he saw some flyin' saucers way up there
but the Air Force said, "Baloney all that kind of stuff is phony
we know there ain’t no other folks out there"

But there’s a spaceship on the White House lawn
no more secrets cover up is gone
there’s a spaceship on the White House lawn
an’ everybody wants to get right on

Now the photos made the headlines while reporters fought for deadlines
and on TV soon the ship became a star
but what they wanted were the drivers little guys who were inside 'er
who knows they could be communists from Mars

But there’s a spaceship on the White House lawn
no more secrets cover up is gone
there’s a spaceship on the White House lawn
an’ everybody wants to get right on

But the Russians wouldn’t claim it said the whole thing was a frame up
an’ they blamed it on our bourgeoizitsky ills
so the President said, "I planned it" he raised taxes to expand it
he sent Congress quick to workin’ on a bill

But there’s a spaceship on the White House lawn
no more secrets cover up is gone
there’s a spaceship on the White House lawn
an’ everybody wants to get right on

Now half the people said, "Enshrine it" other half they said, "Let’s mine it"
but they all hushed when the hatch door opened wide
an’ a bunch of little gray guys with no hair an' almond shaped eyes
said, "Yo' brothers we’re your cousins gimme fiv!e"

But there’s a spaceship on the White House lawn
no more secrets cover up is gone
there’s a spaceship on the White House lawn
an’ the white zone is for loading an’ unloading passengers only

The Ballad of Roswell

It was the start of the greatest cover-up in history when...

A rancher named Mac Brazell found some wreckage and debris
the stuff was so unus'al that the Army had to see
Major Jesse Marcel thought it wasn't from these these parts
an' when they plot to cover-up it's then the rumor starts

That ship's skin was thin as foil strong as steel it's a fact
couldn't cut, scar, break or bend it couldn't dent it with an ax
inside it were these I-beams with some real strange encryptions
just like hieroglyphics or stuff written by Egyptians

Flyin' saucers been reported all across the 48
but who thought they'd hit the ground like a crumpled license plate
when the Army realized just exactly what they found
they packed it up on great big trucks an' quarantined the ground

So they sent it to Wright Patterson the Air Force base of choice
a little while later an' our gov'ment changed it's voice
where the Army's press release first said a Flying Disc had crashed
now it's just a weather balloon that ended up all smashed

Whole thing sorta blew over 'til a few short decades later
story got to int'rest UFO investigators
witnesses came forward swearin' aliens arrived
on that distant summer night they said some died an' some survived

Flyin' saucers been reported all across the 48
but who thought they'd hit the ground like a crumpled license plate
folks swore they must be Martians who had come here to invade
but they're only crash test dummies so the Air Force thus explained
crash test dummies crash test dummies crash test dummies crash test dummies

It was rumored they had big heads an' four fingers on each hand
kinda looked more like a child than they did a grown-up man
the locals they'd been threatened not to ever say a word
scared that they'd be ridiculed an' made to look absurd

Despite the passin' years gov'ment story's pretty rusty
hot air about balloons sent up to spy down on the Ruskies
throw in some crash test dummies to explain the alien guys
they must be the only ones still believin' their own lies

Flyin' saucers been reported all across the 48
but who thought they'd hit the ground like a crumpled license plate
our gov'ment reassures us nothin's happenin' secretly
so my friends no more loose ends - is everybody happy!
crash test dummies crash test dummies crash test dummies crash test dummies
they must think we're only crash test dummies dum-dum dum-mies
