Lyrics:
Verse 1
In this shopping line
Time and space align
I drive this shopping cart
like a work of art
In this shopping cue
there’s nothing I can’t do
I reach the cashier
hit another tier
Now I’m out the door
and the sky’s the floor
I leap and step on a star
Chorus:
Proceed with Wonder
when space bends light
I’ll see you over yonder
when evil’s out of sight
Proceed with Wonder
when space can bend time
If it leads me back to you
in a melding of our minds
Verse 2
On this forest walk
I’m sure I hear trees talk
I’m on the eagles flight
yet the prey in its sight
I roll within the leaves
I’m humming with the bees
I drink from the stream
Dance in the sunbeams
It’s what keeps me sane
That the leaf's the rain
the earth and tree
that let it be
Chorus:
Proceed with Wonder
when space bends light
I’ll see you over yonder
when fear's out of sight
Proceed with Wonder
when space can bend time
If it leads me back to you
in a melding of our minds
Bridge
Verse 3
When we’re both alone
Working, cleaning home
I see you move through space
See your striking face
I sense you far away
it helps me through the day
Until time and space align
and you’ll again be mine
then we’ll walk outside
where the sky’s the floor
we’ll leap and step on a star….
Last Chorus:
Chorus:
Proceed with Wonder
when space bends light
I’ll see you over yonder
when love's in sight
Proceed with Wonder
when space can bend time
If it leads me back to you
in a melding of our minds

The Rat:
V1
I should have known you were definitely bluffing
When you said you’d like to see me
I should have known you were up to something
When you said you’re attracted to me
But Like a fool I ran over to your place
And like a fool I left in disgrace
Like Romeo I sang I’m your biggest fan
And found my mopey face on Instagram
Pre-chorus 1
Oh why do I fall for the stupidest jokes of all
And why do I crave such fabulous people
Chorus
Because I’m Mister Vicarious, just hilarious
beauty leacher
star seeker
good for nothing
lousy rat
V2:
And now I’m home and I’m all alone
It’s just me The Rat and the Cat
We act out dreams from my perfect life
I have repartee with my perfect wife
Pre-chorus
Oh why do I fall for the stupidest jokes of all
And why do I crave such zaniest people
Chorus 2
Because I’m Mister Vicarious, just hilarious
Good for nothing…
Break
Verse 3:
I have movies, books and song galore
Of all my fave stars, celebs and more
I’ve hung my pics from ceiling to floor
So if you’re special, come walk through the door
We’ll have a scintillating chat
Act out your feats with the Rat and the Cat
Pre-chorus 3
Oh why do I fall for the stupidest jokes of all
And why do I crave such fabulous people
Chorus 3
Because I’m Mister Vicarious, just hilarious
Beauty Leacher
Star Seeker
Good for nothing
Lousy rat

Aliens Come Calling:
V1
You could be hard to see
but stronger and smarter than me
Silicon, dust or mist
How d’you exist?
V2
Spaceship sail or bot
How will you reach earth or not
and when you arrive
will we whither or thrive?
Cause
C.1
When Aliens come calling
Pandemonium could ensue
When Aliens come calling
We’ve no clue what to do
V3.
Is planet earth your home
or on a planetary roam
Any pitstops to avoid
sinister asteroids?
C2
When Aliens come calling
Annihilation could ensue
When Aliens come calling
Gather us up, take us with you
When Aliens come calling
Harmonic Vibes could be their song
When Aliens come calling
Maybe we chant and get along
V3.
There’s a question of minds
Is your’s greater than mine?
Made of ectoplasm
Something we can’t fathom?
V4
We don’t have a clue
What you’re likely to do
We hope to get along
So we’ll all belong
C3
When Aliens come calling
Pandemonium may ensue
When Aliens come calling
We’ve no clue what to do
When Aliens come calling
Meeting of minds may ensue
When Aliens come calling
Could it be the best of all worlds?

Verse 1
It's just a sleight of hand
Another trick of your sight
Like I am made of sand
And then I'm made of light
I am the speed of light
Yet I am perfectly still
Chorus 1
I'm just a dreamer
My mind flies past the sun
a rogue quark of love
In space time continuum’s
I'm just a dreamer
My mind streams scenarios
Just follow me
I'll take you where you'd never go
Verse 2
I can't stop loving you
Yet I'll never touch your skin
I’m like a dream come true
More real than you can imagine
Chorus 2
I'm just a dreamer
My mind flies past the sun
A rogue quark of love
In space times continuum
I'm just a dreamer
My mind streams ones and o's
in the matrix
I'll take you where you'd love to go
Bridge
Meander through the stars
Circle Venus and mars
Wonder to earth’s core
Palaces, peaks and more
Don't stop me now
Seal us with a kiss
Let’s depart now miss bliss
Chorus 3
I'm just a dreamer
My mind flies past the sun
A rogue quark of love
In space time continuum
I'm just a dreamer
My mind streams scenarios
Just follow me
I'll take you where you would love to go
