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

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

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.
Coming Home
It's a long and lonely highway.
When you're traveling all alone.
I was on my way to nowhere.
But now i'm coming home.
I'm coming home.
I've been running through the fire.
I've been running for so long.
If i took it any higher.
Baby i would be still be gone.
But now i'm coming home, coming home.i'm coming home.
Coming home, coming home, i'm coming home.
Well my home was really never.
On a far and distant shore.
If i stayed away forever.
I could never miss you more.
And so i'm coming home,coming home.i'm coming home.
Coming home,coming home,i'm coming home.
I think of all these years gone by.
Never even wondered why.
I never touched the ground.
All the time that's come and gone.
All the nights i've been alone.
And now i'm homeward bound.
I heard the thunder over canaan.
And i've heard the angels cry.
And their voices came revealing
"as you live,so will you die."
I'm coming home,coming home,i'm coming home.
I'm coming home,coming home,i'm coming home.
Coming home, coming home, i'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home, coming home, coming home...

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

Lullaby
Should just hug you goodbye
But I just cant walk away from paradise
So I guess Ill sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, Ill come home with you tonight
Hey boy, whats going on
Thanks, Im doing okay
Dont believe rumours- hey
Hows your family
Please say hello for me
Guess weve both grown up a bit
But I have to admit
It really still feels good
Here by your side
Sitting right next to you
Just like I used to do
You know we cant deny
No one else in our lives
Holds a candle to you and i
Should just hug you goodbye
But I just cant walk away from paradise
So I guess Ill sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, Ill come home with you tonight
I should just hug you goodbye
But I just cant walk away from paradise
So I guess Ill sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, Ill come home with you tonight
So here we are again
All by ourselves
So familiar you know
That it actually almost feels like deja vu
Of that night on the roof
We kissed under the sky amid city lights
A sudden flashback to so long ago
In the dark all alone
With our bodies this close
Guess some things never change
cause I still melt away
When you touch me
And say my name
Should just hug you goodbye (baby)
But I just cant walk away from paradise (so I guess)
So I guess Ill sing you that sweet lullaby
(Ill come and love you to sleep)
And we can revisit us one more time
(revisit paradise for a while)
Yes, Ill come home with you tonight (by your side)
(lullaby)
I should just hug you goodbye (see I know I should but boy)
But I just cant walk away from paradise
(you just look so good)
So I guess Ill sing you that sweet lullaby
(so Ill sing that song)
And we can revisit us one more time
(you like to hear me sing as we revisit us)
Yes, Ill come home with you tonight
(it feels, feels good)
I should just hug you goodbye
(I cant walk away
But I just cant walk away from paradise
From paradise so Ill take you home and sing to you baby)
So I guess Ill sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, Ill come home with you tonight
(though I know that I should just)
I should just hug you goodbye
(oh I cant, ...cause you)
But I just cant walk away from paradise
So I guess Ill sing you that sweet lullaby
(you and I both know)
And we can revisit us one more time
(nobody else in our lives holds a candle to you and I)
Yes, Ill come home with you tonight
I should just hug you goodbye shhh!

But I just cant walk away from paradise
(mmm,its just me and you yeah, as we relive the splendor of you and I)
So I guess Ill sing you that sweet lullaby
And we can revisit us one more time
Yes, Ill come home with you tonight

Goodbye Baby
Goodbye baby, so long girl.
I know you ain't gonna like it,
But i'm stepping right out in your world
For i'm coming to your party
And i won't be able to stay,
But i'm gonna kiss you one more time, lord,
Then i'm going away.
Goodbye baby hmm, baby goodbye hmm.
You may be lonely, yeah, you may be hurt,
Like a fool i gave you candy,
You turned around and treated me like dirt.
But still i'm gonna come to your party
And just before the break of day
I'm gonna touch you one more time, lord,
Then i'm going away.
Sing it to me again
Goodbye baby hmm ha, baby goodbye.
Look out, what you see ?
I see a train a-coming,
A train a-coming down the long lonesome track.
I'll tell you, girl, i gotta go on home now,
But deep down in your heart
You know that someday i'm, i'm coming back
And i'm gonna look for you at your party,
'cause all the time i know that i'll find you there
And listen, i'm gonna dance with you
One more time, oh yeah.
Sing it to me tonight now
Goodbye baby, sing it sweet baby goodbye.
Lord, you're singing so sweet tonight goodbye baby
Goodbye baby baby baby baby goodbye
I'll see you around sometime, lord goodbye baby...

A Program Component
part of the program component
is the fear that they install
on incoming viruses
what do you do? take the fear
and savor the virus and sit on the
easy chair, wiggle, wobble, like
another unknown planet
stare at the monitor as though
it is a bird that cannot take flight
with your mind
it will stare back
but you are no longer moved with pity
fear is an important part of this program
fly with it
have a tour on its contours
and when you come back
tell me the story of fear in wonderland
show me that Cheshire grin
be the mad hatter
with the etiquette of the
Red Queen
this is senseless
yet why did you finish it?

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.

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.

Playing Dormouse
A reappearance after being missing for days
after vanishing without a trace, after Ascension
as a sign of grace, everybody else expected to
be at work every day
On the few occasions when the missing person
surfaces she refuses to give those who are here
all the the time permission to leave early; after
staying at home without reason
She threatens and demeans those who stayed at
their posts and the authorities condone everything
this Mad Hatter does, reducing everyone else to
playing Dormouse, closing their eyes
To prolonged absences and then she waltzes in,
delighted with herself that once again she reigns
supreme and these idiots submit to her will - are
we not the most perfect Light Brigade
Perishing while fighting the war while Her Highness
traipses about having fun, enjoying comfort at home,
enjoying our discomfiture when confronted with an
authority figure who never follows the rules
She happily enforces on others?

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........

Goodbye To A River
(don henley/stan lynch/jai winding/frank simes)
The rains have come early, they say
Were all gonna wash away
Well, thats all right with me
If heavens torrent can wash clean
The arrogance that lies unseen
In the damage done since we have gone
Where we ought not to be
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
Lakes and levees, dams and locks
They put that river in a box
It was running wild
And men must have control
We live our lives in starts and fits
We lose our wonder bit by bit
We condescend and in the end
We lose our very souls
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
The dirty water washes down
Poisoning the common ground
Taking sins of farm and town
And bearing them away
The captains of industry
And their tools on the hill
Theyre killing everything divine
What will I tell this child of mine
(solo)
I make a church out of words
As the years dull my senses
And I try to hold on to the world that I knew
I struggle to cross generational fences
And the beauty that still remains
I can touch it through you
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
So long
Goodbye to a river
Goodbye to a river
Roll on

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat!
" -- -- it was at the great concert given by the
Queen of Hearts, and I had to sing
`Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you're at!'You know the song, perhaps?" "I've heard something like it," said Alice. "It goes on, you know," the Hatter continued,
"in this way: -- --

Like a teatray in the sky.

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?

A Little Travelling Music, Please
On the road so long and lonely
can't believe I'm headed home to stay
God I miss my one and only
a little traveling music please
seems we're always seperating
still she doesn't let me lose my way
home is anywhere she's waiting
a little traveling music please
I may forget how much I care
but once I've left her laughter
two and three days after
I'm aware how much I miss her there
this time I'll stay home forever
hold her close and turn the world away
even if it's not forever
it it'll keep me from unraveling
a little traveling music please
two and three days after
I'm aware how much I miss her there
this time I'll stay home forever
hold her close and turn the world away
even if it's not forever
she's going to keep me from unraveling

I Miss You
I can't understand.
It's a puzzel,
a mystery really.
I already miss you,
but your standing right in front of me.
Your slowly getting ready to leave,
leave me, and this town.
With all the lives you've touched,
you've touched mine the most.
I already miss you,
but your standing right in front of me.
You were with me
in the bad times and the good.
You taught me to be myself, and
to love God no matter what.
I already miss you, but
you are hugging me goodbye.
It's your time to move,
and show others, what you have shown me.
The meaning of life.
i already miss you, beacuse you just left.
I'll see you again sometime, I hope.
So goodbye and thanks.

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.

A New Beginning
You guys are like
Brothers and sisters
To me
I'm finally moving on
But I'm leaving you behind
It makes me sad
We have had both
Good and bad times
We had funny times too
The laughs and giggles
And pranks
All were great times
We have gone through
So much together
This isn't goodbye
This is a new
Beginning
A new start
I'm going to miss you
I love you guys
