Lyrics, credits, and what not
We Came From Space
Lyrics by Bill Hubauer
All systems set to go
As we prepare escape to somewhere
The star fire burning low
And our future calls from out there
Leading somewhere
We'll surely die here
So we flee this place
Rising, we go to space
They're calling us home
Lifetimes to reach this place
The light is shifting red
Slowing, our engines burn off star dust
Horizon's golden thread
Glowing, the firmament surrounds us
Seeming boundless
The Earth announces:
Welcome human race!
Falling, we came from space
They're calling us home
Lifetimes to reach this place
Welcome Home!
Vivid Colours
Lyrics by Dave Buzard
All of the pranksters are in a panic
And all of your fans have turned fanatic
Hangnails are heartbreak - open turns opaque
And all of your stations turn to static
All of your idols gone away
Those on the path now led astray
A king in velvet for the day
The vivid colours turning gray
All of your sages have fallen silent
Trusted and true, became a tyrant
The enlightened came up lame - the pious profane
And all of the diligent defiant
All of your idols gone away
Those on the path now led astray
A king in velvet for the day
The vivid colours turning gray
The once dependable, now disinclined.
Pieces of the Sky
Lyrics by Dave Buzard
I found myself in the most peculiar places
Just like a dream where friends have unfamiliar faces
Lost in a maze, surrounded by cold laughter
And every turn will keep me trapped forever after
Pieces of the sky will fall upon you, just like rain
And they will fill your eyes with sunshine once again
Though now you’re scattered you will soon be whole, and then
Pieces of the sky will fall upon you just like rain
My own reflection has become a mystery
My imperfections are all that I can see
I tried to find some purchase, some warmth beyond the pale
But instead became the serpent consuming its own tail
Pieces of the sky will fall upon you, just like rain
And they will fill your eyes with sunshine once again
Though now you’re scattered you will soon be whole, and then
Pieces of the sky will fall upon you just like rain
I know that I’m not the only one
Who feels Like a shadow chasing the setting sun
But when the day is done and night has come
You'll still see me
All Rights Reserved
Lyrics by Dave Buzard
Rights! Responsibilities
Hype! The new democracy
Blight! Infallibility
Ripe! With possibility
Follow the money
You might be surprised
To find your independence
Outsourced and franchised
Swallow your anger
Try not to explode
While all you believe
Continues to erode
Sight! Is disability
Swipe! To show brand loyalty
Fight! Your insecurities
Tripe! Accountability
Follow the money
You might be surprised
To find your independence
Outsourced and franchised
Follow the leader
Work hard ‘til you die
The more that you make
The more that you can buy
Buy American
Bye, bye America
Buy American
Corporately owned majesty
Might! Without diplomacy
Indict! Your own supremacy
Spite! With no contingency
Ignite! And make a vacancy
Follow the money
You might be surprised
To find your independence
Outsourced and franchised
Swallow your anger
Try not to explode
While all you believe
Continues to erode
My eyes have seen the glory
Of the chairman of the board
He is trampling out the vintage
Where the grapes of wrath are stored
Business as Usual
Lyrics by Dave Hawk
Groupthink
Dogma stink
Mob mentality
Check logic at the door
Left, right
Black and white
Nothing in between
The war to start all wars
As truck-stop philosophers preach to the choir
The jet-setting plastics throw fuel on the fire
Big business as usual
Both sides of the aisle
False truth, forked tongue, great big phony smile
Half blind
Speak your mind
But never mind the truth
You'll never tread on me
Free speech
Verbal bleach
Say anything you want,
Don't rewrite history
As for-profit prophets then take to the stage
The willfully ignorant lap up the rage
Just whores in the newsroom
Talking points to advertise
Who cares fact or fiction, does it polarize?
Big business as usual
Both sides of the aisle
False truth, forked tongue, great big phony smile
You're so vain, you never thought this song was about you
Eye to Eye
Lyrics by Dave Hawk
The newbie eyes the bait
The monster lies in wait
Devour and dominate
In anonymity
Too scared to ever date her
Ten vicious keystrokes later
Expose and humiliate her
A coward’s victory
Look up, The world is on display
Hook up, It’s just a kiss away
Towers all around us
Connections still confound us
Hard drivin’ clouds in the sky
Take time to listen
Make the contact you’ve been missin’
Get your facetime eye to eye
Digital desolation
We're the techni-generation
Slaves to our own innovation
And just too blind to see
There's no real satisfaction
With no human interaction
So hellbent on our own distraction
We’ve lost humanity
We Came From Space is now

The promise of...
Out of Phase
Lyrics by Dave Buzard and Bill Hubauer
You sold the promise of a technicolor morning
and delivered shades of gray
Watched me slip into a chasm ever yawning
and declared it a good day
If that's the song that got you through
Then I'm so glad it worked for you.
Round and round and up and down
but never forward, an illusion in reverse
By all appearances I'm going through the motions
but always getting worse
Some will seek a reckoning
But I can’t hear the beckoning
Out of phase and I
Can’t feel no matter how I try
I’m out of phase.
Out of phase, I'm made
A silhouette against the shade
Night has turned to frost
I’m shifted 3 degrees from lost
I’m out of phase and I
Can’t feel no matter how I try
I’m out of phase but can be found
Still standing up and standing ground
a technicolor morning?
The Mission
Lyrics by Dave Hawk and Dave Buzard
These are chaos days, that I can barely face
We try not to panic, in this manic race
The greatest chance that we take
Is in exposing ourselves at daybreak
Or walking in shadows not ever awake
We are driven by the coins and the caffeine
Breathe fire in between the cogs, and the machine
The greatest chance that we take
Is in exposing ourselves at daybreak
Or walking in shadows not ever awake
Sunshine, rewind, redlined
Get up and do it again
Speak out, don't shout, wipeout
Get up and do it again
Crusade, upgrade, get paid
Get up and do it again
Slide shows, new clothes, brown-nose
Get up and do it again
The greatest chance that we take
Is in exposing ourselves at daybreak
Walking in shadows not ever awake
Sometimes Nothing
Lyrics by Dave Buzard (PT Rocks)
Sometimes, you are just what the number say
Some things, are always going to be that always
We're longing for substance
But we settle for style
Remain blind to the essence
And can't reconcile
Somethings, will never see the light of day
Sometimes, the anger never goes away
We're longing for substance
But we settle for style
Remain blind to the essence
And can't reconcile
Sometimes nothin' is a pretty cool hand
Nothin' lets you know right where you stand
Sometimes Nothin' is a pretty cool
A pretty cool hand.
Invisible monsters come out of the dark
Real or imagined, they all leave a mark
Easily Led
Lyrics by Dave Buzard
You’ve got my heart, eager to be led
You’ve got those eyes that I can’t get out of my head
I hear your voice, everything you’ve said
You’ve got the song that I can’t get out of my head
Sugar, come to me
Carry the water, set me free
Set me free
Breathing fire again
Time is slipping let’s begin
Let’s begin
You’ve got my heart, eager to be led
You’ve got those eyes that I can’t get out of my head
I hear your voice, everything you’ve said
You’ve got the song that I can’t get out of my head
We are forever friends
From the beginning, through the end
Through the end
Silence I can’t abide
Lend me your ear, let me inside
Let me inside
You’ve got my heart, eager to be led
You’ve got those eyes that I can’t get out of my head
I hear your voice, everything you’ve said
You’ve got the song that I can’t get out of my head
You opened up to me and shared yourself
Speak to me my, heart begins to melt
It was the line I needed to save myself
I only want the same as everyone else
Unsung
Lyrics by Dave Buzard
Well you closed your eyes
Thinking you could stop the sky from falling
And you held on fast
Hoping you could stop the time from crawling
Those songs will never sound that way again
And here and now is wondering where you've been
You call it innocence
But you were really just unpolished
The words you thought would stay brand new
come back to us reflected deja vu
Always in your own way
Surrounded by fantasies demolished
In spite of all your best laid plans
The tangible turned mercury in your hand
Those songs will never sound that way again
And here and now is wondering where you've been
Radio playing on and on
To make you think that you belong
To a time and place forever young
And the present tense remains unsung
