LYRICS:

"UFO"

Send a satellite to the sky
point that camera down at me.
Send a satellite to the sky
have that camera looking at you.
 
Hook ourselves to the Internet
tell 'em who we are
All they want - is...
your name, your wife, your kid, your dog and your car!
 
UFO in the sky won't you come and take me away?
UFO in the sky won't you come and take me away?
 
(come on dad...let's change the channel)
 
Home alone we're not alone
our television's on.
Choose your Falwell, choose your Springer
Look at Oprah cry.
 
MTV, it's CNN
it's L M N O P
All they want - is...
your life, your death, your hope, your dreams and your sex!
 
UFO in the sky won't you come and take me away?
UFO in the sky won't you come and take me away?
 
(solo)
 
Join in circles close the ranks
and make believe we're safe.
Turn the corner move the rock
and run from all the snakes.
 
Learn the language of your neighbor
shake his hand and smile.
All he wants - is...
your blood, your sweat, your tears, your heart and your soul!
 
UFO in the sky won't you come and take me away?
UFO in the sky won't you come and take me away?
 
It won't be long - and what's it matter?
It won't be long - and what's it matter?

"Beautiful Pain"

Anger, Violence and Religion
Have replaced a world of joy
Children practice Father’s hatred
While leaders build schematics for the end
 
Ancient ones revel in their tales of death
Now short of breath and short on truth
A belief in their righteous innocence
Can’t keep the Bright One from their souls
 
And we look the other way
Every time it’s raining
Still we look the other way
Every time it rains.
 
Eternal Evil Axis
With subtle buttons by the bed
Muhammad, Allah, and Jesus Christ
Have we shot the messenger?
 
The sound of marching men
With mighty missile sorties
Raining answers from above
Save your women, children and your God
 
And we look the other way
Every time it’s raining
Still we look the other way
Every time it rains.
 
Overtures of Trust
Manuscripts of Peace
Diplomatic handshakes
In the promises of love
 
Thunder claps of Hopes and Bombs
Manuscripts of Pain
Policies of smiles (and just a little wink)
With the promises of love
 
And we look the other way
Every time it’s raining
Still we look the other way
Every time it rains.

"Teheran"

(JLS) Spoken:  Now I lay me down to sleep - I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
(PJC) Spoken:  MYSTERY.  BABYLON.  ABOMINATION.  DESOLATION.
 
What does it mean to be free?
How does it feel to be real?
Where did you run - has every dream grown old?
Where did you hide - have you lost all hope?
 
Did you search above?
And did you seek within?
Have you looked below?
And did you work with him?
 
Did your travel speed you on to the safety of a great Teheran?
Have you found the answer there in the souls of a stranger’s eyes?
 
What does it mean to be free?
How does it feel to be real?
Have you got the strength  - can you cut the noose?
Have you got the faith – to love a god that kills?
 
What does it mean to be free?
How does it feel to be real?
Did you cheat your friends  - to gain a few more bucks?
Have you prayed for your brother - or is it all about you?
 
Will you flee the face of Death
when it’s time for you to fly?
Can you mend his broken heart
when it’s time for you to fly?
 
Has your travel sped you on to the safety of some great beyond?
As Velveteen Rabbits speak your name - do you see Teheran from a distant sky?
 
(JLS) Spoken:  If I should die before I wake - I pray the Lord my soul to take.
(PJC) Spoken:  SEVEN.  TRUMPETS.  ARMAGEDDON.
 
Can you breathe again today?
Will you choose to breathe tonight?
Do you wish to rest in peace?
And have you found your peace of mind?
 
Or do you hope to die before you wake?

Lyrics: John Swarts, Patrick J. Carley, Al Incorvaia
 

Read more about the Parable of Teheran:

Excerpt from Dr. Viktor Frankl's book: "Man's Search for Meaning" -  New York: Washington Square Press, 1984.  (75-77)

A rich and mighty Persian once walked in his garden with one of his servants.  The servant cried that he had just encountered Death, who had threatened him.  He begged his master to give him his fastest horse so that he could make haste and flee to Teheran, which he could reach that same evening.  The master consented and the servant galloped off on the horse.  On returning to his house, the master himself met Death, and questioned him.  ‘Why did you terrify and threaten my servant?’
 ‘I did not threaten him; I only showed surprise in still finding him here when I planned to meet him tonight in Teheran,’ said Death.

"The Prick of I - 4"

You can build – 10 lanes or more.
You can build – A hundred more.
It won’t make a difference to me.
 
You can build - A Super Hi-way.
You can build – More and more.
It won’t make a difference to me…
For I will ever be…
The Prick of I – 4.
 
You can ride – A Harley Davidson.
You can Drive – An S.U.V.
It don’t make a difference to me.
 
You can blow – A train and whistle.
You can paint – A goofy bus.
It don’t make a difference to me…
For I will ever be…
The Prick of I – 4.
 
(solo)
 
You can build – 10 lanes or more.
You can build – A hundred more.
It won’t make a difference to me.
 
You can look – for someone to blame.
You can shake your nasty finger.
It won’t make a difference to me…
For I will always be…
The Prick of I – 4.
