Todays tom sawyer, He gets high on you, And the space he invades He gets by on you. No, his mind is not for rent To any God or government. Always hopeful, yet discontent, He knows changes arent permanent, But change is. And what you say about his company Is what you say about society. Catch the witness, catch the wit, Catch the spirit, catch the spit. The world is, the world is, Love and life are deep, Maybe as his skies are wide. Exit the warrior, Todays tom sawyer, He gets high on you, And the energy you trade, He gets right on to the friction of the day.

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole, and then I followed it in. I watched myself crawling out as I was crawling in. I got up so tight, I couldn't unwind. I saw so much, it broke my mind. I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in. Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a Dead End sign. I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind. Eight miles out of Memphis, and I got no spare. Eight miles straight up, downtown somewhere. I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.

It's so dreamy, oh fantasy free me So you can't see me, no not at all In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention Well-secluded, I see all With a bit of a mind flip You're there in the time slip And nothing can ever be the same You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation Let's do the Time Warp again! Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink He shook me up, he took me by surprise He had a pickup truck and the devil's eyes. He stared at me and I felt a change Time meant nothing, never would again Let's do the Time Warp again!

Rosh Hashanah, I spend in Arizona, And Yom Kippur, Way down in Mississippah But in December, There's just one place for me: Amid the California flora, I'll be lighting my menorah. Like a baby in his cradle, I'll be playing with my dreidel, Spending Hanukkah In Santa Monica By the sea. Here's to Judas Maccabeus, Boy, if he could only see us, Spending Hanukkah In Santa Monica By the sea.
