    Sun's up, looks ok
    Sun's up, uh huh, looks okayThe world survives into another day And I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me I had another dream about lions at the door They weren't half as frightening as they were before But I'm thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Walls windows trees, waves coming through You be in me and I'll be in you Together in eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me Up among the firs where it smells so sweet Or down in the valley where the river used to be I got my mind on eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are... Huge orange flying boat rises off a lake Thousand-year-old petroglyphs doing a double take Pointing a finger at eternity I'm sitting in the middle of this ecstasy Young men marching, helmets shining in the sun, Polished as precise like the brain behind the gun they got me thinking about eternity Some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are... Freighters on the nod on the surface of the bay One of these days we're going to sail away, going to sail into eternity some kind of ecstasy got a hold on me And I'm wondering where the lions are... I'm wondering where the lions are...

    coffee is on.... Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain Ain't no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door Got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more, more Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost it's way Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start

    We know of an ancient radiation That haunts dismembered constellations, A faintly glimmering radio station. While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather, The flies and spiders get along together, Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record. Beyond the suns that guard this roof, Beyond your flowers of flaming truths, Beyond your latest ad campaigns, An old man sits collecting stamps In a room all filled with Chinese lamps. He saves what others throw away. He says that he'll be rich some day. We know of an ancient radiation That haunts dismembered constellations, A faintly glimmering radio station.

I want a girl with a mind like a diamond I want a girl who knows what's best I want a girl with shoes that cut And eyes that burn like cigarettes I want a girl with the right allocations Who's fast and thorough And sharp as a tack She's playing with her jewelry She's putting up her hair She's touring the facility And picking up slack I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket...... I want a girl who gets up early I want a girl who stays up late I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity Who uses a machete to cut through red tape With fingernails that shine like justice And a voice that is dark like tinted glass She is fast and thorough And sharp as a tack She's touring the facility And picking up slack I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnng.... lonnng jacket I want a girl with a smooth liquidation I want a girl with good dividends At Citibank we will meet accidentally We'll start to talk when she borrows my pen She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest She wants a car that will get her there She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen She's trading her MG for a white Chrysler La Baron I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnggggggggg jacket Good night Holly .... Good night Irene....and all the ships at sea...... I will see you in my dreams......

    So you want to jump out your trick bagAnd ease on into a hip bag But you ain't just exactly sure what's hip So you start to let your hair grow Spend big bucks to cop you a wardrobe But somehow you know there's much more to the trip [Chorus] What is hip? Tell me, tell me if you think you know What is hip? If you was really hip The passing years would show You into a hip trip Maybe hipper than hip But what is hip? So you became part of the new breed Been smokin' only the best weed Been hangin' out on the so-called hippest set Being seen at all the right places Being seen with just the right faces You should be satisfied Still it ain't quite right [Chorus] Hipness, what it is! Hipness, what it is! Hipness, what it is! And sometimes hipness is What it ain't! You done even went and found you a guru In your effort to find you a new you And maybe even managed To raise your conscious level As you striving to find the right road There's one thing you should know What's hip today Might become passe

You sir are risking the mighty rath of Klang. He rules from an awe inspiring rig, much like the Wizard of Oz's. Only his uses the avatar of an evil clown. Maybe you haven't seen it. Those of us who have know how terrifying it is. You have been forewarned. Just remember Mayor Klangstone has ordered that no one look behind the curtain.

I never saw that one coming. But now that you mention it. It does seem suspicious that you never see them post a comment at the same time. I feel that this warrants furthur investigation.

Hi there and welcome to sunshiney daydreamer land! Well I don't have the official packet info in front of me at the moment, but the general gist is: *keep it friendly and positive *keep discussions generally pertaining to this group and the social gatherings being planned for Chicago, additional local happenings, the pick-a-nick and other group meetings * local info for help and aid to us all * use the other main thread for ticket discussions or save it for PMs * use the other main thread for complaints about the ticket situation if you must * be kind, rewind keep peace in your heart and get on the bus! rgergelis is driving the wheels off this crazy thing and we need enough bodies aboard to keep us balanced on the road to Chi-town. All aboard!! P.S. Mayor in name and satirical statute only. Here to help out if and when I can, just like any ordinary good citizen of dreamer-land.

From John Cash and the Carter family..... Oh well I'm tired and so weary but I must go along Till the Lord comes and calls, calls me away Well the mornings so bright and the land is the light And the night, night is as black as the sea There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me. Well the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame And the lion shall lay down by the lamb and the beasts from the wild shall be led by a child And I'll be changed from this creature that I am There will be peace in the valley for me someday There will be peace in the valley for me, Oh Lord I pray There will no sadness, no sorrow, no trouble, trouble I see There will be peace in the valley for me.
