If Mad Is A Hatter Then Mad Am I
If mad is a hatter then mad am I
We'll riddle a needle to that of an eye
Make monkeys purple and rabbits fly
Then when one of the 'sane' asks us why
We'll laugh like two loons and ask why not
Our minds be long gone we'll fight sane thought
And invent new words like drot and haggot
Laughing like Trisels, madness is naught
To befriend a hatter is quite benign
Especially when you've lost your mind
And all of your thoughts become entwined
You yourself then laugh when maligned
I won't ever lie, you must understand
Or this purple penguin will bite off my hand
Then I couldn't drink the best tea of the land
And this tea I tell you is simply quite grand
People think us foolish, demented, disturbed
But I find it quite moronic and even absurd
They don't know any of the things that I've heard
And a hatter can teach you much more then I've leard
And a hatter's knowledge is rather quite open
And then when you've come fully ready listen
Careful to leard our knowledge 'cause when
You come over the hill you can't go back again

Mad Hatter
We just landed just touched down
It just hit home a good man's gone
Hey cat in the hat we're all gonna miss you
Your practical jokes and taking three steps with you
We never said goodbye we always said so long
You had nine lives I can't believe they're all gone
The mad hatter's moving on
We'll see you again one way or another
Now that you're there say hello to our brothers
We never said goodbye we always said so long
You had nine lives I can't believe they're all gone
The mad hatter's moving on
Traveling man, traveling man, he's coming home
So tonight we'll pay tribute, light up a match
Tell your brothers and sisters about the cat in the hat
He had nine lives I can't believe they're all gone
Now I know the mad hatter's not alone
The mad hatter moved on
Travel on
Mad hatter gone
Oh he's gone
The cat in the hat has moved on

The Mad Hatter's Domain
This mad, mad world is madder than the hatter
that Alice came upon.
Everything is crazy and upside down.
Sanity seems to be gone.
We can't institutionalize all that we find,
even though they've lost their mind.
If we could there'd be some jobs
tending to these incompetent snobs.
Well so much for the above
for none of it's from love.
There is so much more to what we're about.
It's right there in front of us.
We need to seek it out.
The everyday things that don't cost a cent,
like flowers and trees and what is meant
when you love someone and they love you.
We must connect with silence and quiet the noise,
something that most of us never do.
We must hear a song and sing along
and hum if we forget the words.
We should fish in streams where the water rushes
and feel the hit
and hear the birds
twittering and whistling their song.
If you are caught up in the material world
that was created for us all.
Then you've lost what your life was meant to be
and you will surely fall
into the mad, mad hatter's domain.
And that's where they'd like us
all to remain.

Were I a hatter, men would come into the world without heads.
Out Of Control
I was on grand street when I heard a woman cry
Turned to see a young boy with his head held high
He was screaming abuse at everything and nothing
Wasnt more than seventeen years old
Waving a pistol, blew himself to heaven
I guess he just exploded out of control
Minding my own business
Playing social snakes and ladders
Theres a knock on my door
The military mad-hatter
He says someone pressed a button
Only got about 8 minutes
To get myself and my family into some underground hole
Where we can sit and play twenty questions
Whilst our leaders invent answers
It seems the whole world just exploded out of control!
You sit on your side
And Ill sit on mine
Used to have such grand plans
Now we cant afford the time
It may seem pretty arrogant
But words may be heart fire
Deep inside Im freezing cold
Sorry that I beat you
Sorry that I screamed
For a moment there I really lost control

Let Yourself Go
Lead vocal: eric woolfson
Maitre charcot he can send you where the winds blow
Look in his eye and your mind goes into limbo
They say, hes mad as a hatter
Hes no medicine man
Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go
Maitre charcot he can teach you what you dont know
Look in his eye and the clock runs out of tempo
He knows, its mind over matter
Youll fit in the palm of his hand
Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go
It doesnt need too much explaining
It doesnt seem to be so hard
You just count to ten and then back again
And before long you wont know where you are
Maitre charcot he will catch you if you let go
Look in his eyes and your thoughts go into slow motion
You glide, like birds of a feather
He flies higher than you
Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go
For any doubt you have remaining
Let me remind you once again
You just close you eyes as the eagle flies
And before you know it you wont feel any pain, any pain
Id like to stay here forever, who needs the hullabaloo?
Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go

Purple Rain
(prince)
I never meant to cause you any trouble
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only ever wanted to see you laughing
Only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Only want to see you underneath the purple rain
Honey, I never wanted to be your wicked lover
Only wanted to be some kind of friend
I could never leave you for another
Its such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changing
This time we all reach out for something new
That means you too
You say youre looking for a leader,
But you cant seem to make up your mind
But you better open it up wide, let it guide you
To the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Only want to see you, baby, in the purple rain

In Duty
Then in duty they fall and praise,
Optional deeds surpass the multitudes;
These crowds are the masses,
Their voices surrender to the hatter.
Hoist the sins as if you transgress,
Cities of roundness are circular.
Let these voices spring and deliver
The knowledge of a forgotten past.
Love has enveloped the majority
Of thinkers and philosophers.
Loves unite to desperately find
The families of virtue, the virtues
Of divinity, and the virtues blessed.

Mind Over Matter
Mind over matter
or let the chips scatter.
Do you think I really care?
No, my loved one
not in the least.
The only thing that matters to me
is taming this wild beast.
It's taunting me.
Its beat is the start
of another day without you.
I'm like the mad hatter
in Alice's game.
I wonder if my heart
she could tame?
Oh that it were
as easy as that
I would wear that madder's hat.
But this mind of mine
is confused and lost.
And oh the heartache
it has cost.

Time Is...
If time is money
and money is funny
why is it no laughing matter?
People will kill
the last mad hatter
even if the symptoms
were hyped.
If money isn't funny
and time wasn't money
could you make some time for me?
The time is ripe!
I only have time..
and never enough can't you see?

God will find a way
My son, these are a few lines that I want to share with you
Remember God is there, even though with life, I am through
My son, even if you have no money you do not have to stray
No matter what, never lose hope or trust God will find a way
My son, even if it is a question of mind over matter
Remember, God takes care of the odd mad hatter
My son, even if it seems so, this is not the end of the world
Keep the faith, God has his own plans which he will unfurl
My son, with these few humble words of advice I leave you
Remember the values we have shared and you will sail through.
May God bless you always........

The Knowledge
Insight to what's going on
Information keeps us strong
What you don't know can hurt you bad
Take it from me you'll be walkin around sad
Cryin for a better day
Until you educate for a better way
So if you wanna be in control
Ya gotta get yourself in the know
Get the knowledge
That you really want
The knowledge
Do you really want
It's the knowledge
What you really want
The knowledge
That you really want
Spreading vise don't believe the hype
You don't find the knowledge in a pipe
Too many lives go up in smoke
It's nice to laugh but don't be the joke
To get over get better
Try to be the possessor
Of the one thing we all need in life
To succeed take my advice
Get the knowledge
That you really want
The knowledge
Do you really want
It's the knowledge
What you really want
The knowledge
That you really want
Prejudice No!
Ignorance No!
Bigotry No!
Illiteracy No!
Listen it's up to everyone
If we're gonna change the way the world is run
The way to start is to rid the children of
Prejudice and ignorance
We've gotta teach our kids to read and write
That's the only way to win this fight for life
Education is the goal so
If you wanna be in the know
Get the knowledge
It's the one thing we all need in life

99 Way To Die
If I see the morning hours
I'll have one more yesterday
Take life from tomorrow
Cause I've burned out my today
If I get up to the top I know
I'll just go back downhill
Gotta' terminal future
And it's time to write my will
Down another glass of courage
And a shot of thorazine
We're not ready to see you yet
99 ways to die
We're not ready to see you yet
Gotta' short between the earphones
Wringing my hands in dismay
A more efficient maniac
With two feet in the grave
Ain't got no last words to say
Yellow streak right up my spine
The gun in my mouth was real
And the taste blew my mind
In a black tie and straight jacket
Man I'm gonna try again
Chorus repeat
Demitasse of arsenic
Try on this tie
Never mind the tree
There is only death and danger
In the sockets of my eyes
A playground of illusion
No one plays they only die
There's a prison in my mind
And the bars are gonna break
I'm as mad as a hatter
And strung out just the same
Taunting rigor mortis
I feel it draw me in

Sunshine
I sold my soul for a one night stand
I followed Alice into Wonderland
I ate the mushroom and I danced with the queen
Yeah we danced in between all the lines
I followed daylight right into the dark
Took to the hatter like a walk in the park
But then I met her

Mr Frog [ childrens ]
The Frog and his three piece suit
with his silver eyes and silly charm.
He bounces around his carriage
as mad as a spoon.
He dances the waltz
with Henry the horse.
He's late for dinner, he rushes to tea
he's sensitive, kind, he's lost his big key.
He's mad as a hatter
silly and old.
The frog's an eccentric
He hates to be told.

I Can't
I can't believe in unicorns,
This age has got me hooked,
Fermented dreams of Santa's sleigh
Destroyed by Physics books.
See, the tooth Fairy is a nice idea
A coin for a pearly white,
But in reality, some girl with wings
Doesn't break in a night.
I can't believe in anything
Religion has no words
God's another fairy tale
'The Divine' just seems absurd.
Fifteen years of spun out tales
A chocolate bearing rabbit
Passed onto each new generation
Out of spirit and in habit.
But in this fifteenth year of life
The closet monster doesn't matter
These illusions have been assassinated
By a Dormouse and a Hatter.

Vice Versa
Down in the state of Maine, the story goes,
A woman, to secure a lapsing pension,
Married a soldier-though the good Lord knows
That very common act scarce calls for mention.
What makes it worthy to be writ and read
The man she married had been nine hours dead!
Now, marrying a corpse is not an act
Familiar to our daily observation,
And so I crave her pardon if the fact
Suggests this interesting speculation:
Should some mischance restore the man to life
Would she be then a widow, or a wife?
Let casuists contest the point; I'm not
Disposed to grapple with so great a matter.
'T would tie my thinker in a double knot
And drive me staring mad as any hatter
Though I submit that hatters are, in fact,
Sane, and all other human beings cracked.
Small thought have I of Destiny or Chance;
Luck seems to me the same thing as Intention;
In metaphysics I could ne'er advance,
And think it of the Devil's own invention.
Enough of joy to know though when I wed
I _must_ be married, yet I _may_ be dead.

Fundamental of Liar Chapter XXII: Laugh
there's laugh, forced laugh
laugh, gentle rejection without word
laugh, looking sympathy with laugh
laugh but actually doesn't laugh
hiding anger, hiding pain
cheerful laugh but alone inside
why you try hard to impress people?
tired and wounded more
laughing your foolish joke
and crying life in the dark room
laugh for yourself
laugh with your heart
and you'll never regret to try an honest laugh
