—Drummssdullville—
The room where the red hall ends
Is the room where the trouble begins
The room where the red hall ends
Is the room where the trouble begins
They flourish in all of the halls
As they pass through all of the walls
In the house that’s made of stone
In the world that’s locked in the dome
But here in Drummssdullville, they just can’t get their fill
Of their own reality
But is it worth the price to make that sacrifice,
And live in a dream that you can see?
Where the happy mask and saddened mask
Can watch your every move
The show begins and it ends within,
So what is there left to prove? Your move!
As time and space is unfurled
Each person’s in their own world
Through the door to all of the land
To the key in the palm of your hand
Leave it all behind what you saw
Under Hall of the Hourglass Law
But here in Drummssdullville, they just can’t get their fill
Of their own reality
But is it worth the price to make that sacrifice,
And live in a dream that you can see?
Where the happy mask and saddened mask
Can watch your every move
The show begins and it ends within,
So what is there left to prove? Your move!
But the marigold girl has stolen the key
From the looking glass sea, with such dignity
From the man looking back on the world that he knew
But the contact came through—yes, the contact came through
And she cried for the man in black,
And the wind on the waiting track
It was a question of time and space,
And it brought her to this convex place
The room where the red hall ends

—Smile, Little Lieblings (It's Magic!)—
Cause it’s magic! (Yes, it’s magic!)
Cause it’s magic! (Yes, it’s magic!)
Cause it’s magic! (Yes, it’s magic!)
Cause it’s magic! (Yes, it’s magic!)
Smile, little lieblings—do not say a word,
And remember to remember everything you’ve ever heard,
Cause today, my little lieblings, some things are gonna change
Oh my, my, my little lieblings, they’re going to rearrange
Smile, little lieblings—listen to me
Smile, little lieblings—watch what you see
Smile, little lieblings—listen to me
You’re going to remember what you’re going to see
Watch what you see
Cause it’s magic! (Yes, it’s magic!)
Cause it’s magic! (Yes, it’s magic!)
Cause it’s magic! (Yes, it’s magic!)
Cause it’s magic! (Yes, it’s magic!)
I have magic, yes I do
Is my magic false or true?
Well I guess that’s just for you to decide, little lieblings
So abide, little lieblings, by what I say
Cause it’s magic! (Yes, it’s magic!)
Cause it’s magic! (Yes sir, it’s magic!)
Cause it’s magic! (Yes, it’s magic!)
Cause it’s magic! (Yes, it’s magic!)
Smoke beams, butterflies, bats and doves
Watch the rain go down slowly from above
Watch me reverse it back up with a shove
Little lieblings, little lieblings
Do I amaze you? Do I entrance you? Little lieblings?
Smile, little lieblings, smile
Smile, little lieblings—listen to me
Smile, little lieblings—watch what you see
Smile, little lieblings—listen to me
You’re going to remember what you’re going to see
Cause it’s magic—yes, it’s magic!
Cause it’s magic—yes, it’s magic!

—Ways to Worlds Beyond—
There’s something wrong with our dimension
Just take it from me
There’s something wrong with our dimension
It’s obvious to see
I’ll forge a key to another realm,
Cause they all think I’m insane
I’ll forge a key to another realm
I’ve got everything to gain
This world has been in magic lacking
So I think it’s time that I start packing,
And leave this doldrums town tonight
Life was not as kindred to him
As he felt that it should be
What to do now?
Figure out how to mock reality
Kismet and Kosmet’s Ways To Worlds Beyond
Sign on the dotted line, and find yourself among
A dyad of deities who know this world is wrong
There’s something wrong with our dimension
Just take it from me
There’s something wrong with our dimension
It’s obvious to see
I’ll forge a key to another realm
With secrets new and old
I’ll forge a key to another realm
Until my story has been told
There’s something wrong with our dimension,
And I think it’s time for intervention,
And I’m planning on creating it tonight
We’ve taken pity on your life
Observing all your pain and strife
We have the key in hand for you
You’ll know exactly what to do
Kismet and Kosmet’s Ways To Worlds Beyond
Sign on the dotted line, and find yourself among
A dyad of deities who know this world is wrong
In a world of magic, I shall change
I’m planing how to rearrange
Time and space to fit my needs
Once I’ve signed and I’ve agreed
Oh resolution, resolution, on answer I have stepped
Oh resolution, true solution, this secret must be kept

—Sweets—
Oh, we take heart in baking cakes,
And swimming in our cherry lakes
We have the time to waste our days,
And cover them in honey glaze
Cotton candy, buttercups
Sugar bonbons, lollipops
Cinnamon and marzipan
Anything that you demand
Candy is the name of the game in this town
Look all about, you can see it all around
Candy is the name of the game in this town
Look all about, you can see it all around
Candy is the name of the game in this town
Look all about, you can see it all around
Oh, we take heart in baking cakes,
And swimming in our cherry lakes
We have the time to waste our days,
And cover them in honey glaze
Candy mountains, minty trees,
Extra fruity jujube bees
Vanilla-chocolate swirly blitz
Caramel-covered banana splits
In a world where sugar dominates
A world so sweet I’ll demonstrate
How life can be in candy land
How easy it is to understand
That candy is the name of the game in this town
Look all about, you can see it all around
Candy is the name of the game in this town
Look all about, you can see it all around
Candy is the name of the game in this town
Look all about, you can see it all around

—Man on the Moon—
I’m sure you’ve heard the story
About a man whose glory,
And fame, and fortune made him
Universally renowned
The brightest star that ever shown
In the moonlit dreamer zone
That night sky instigator
Who lights the midnight craters
Has been left all alone
The man on the moon
Is crying softly for his dunes
At such a cost
This lonely man’s love was lost
He had to go,
And dwell on the land down below
He’s yearning for the past
But alack! Alas! The past just never lasts!
But there’s more to our story
Some unknown territory
Some special knowledge that we’ve
Yet to be revealed and shown
Of the saddest kind of tone
That the world has ever known
A lady fair and pretty
To him she spares no pity,
And left him all alone
The man on the moon
Is crying softly for his dunes
At such a cost
This lonely man’s love was lost
He had to go,
And dwell on the land below
He’s yearning for the past
But alack! Alas! The past just never lasts!
So when you’re gazing up there
Or if you’re stopping to stare
Looking up high to see that
Man who’s living on the moon
Oh, this story makes me swoon
Thanks for listening to my tune
You’ll see no man on up there
Only a woman as fair As a golden afternoon

—Hall of the Hourglass—
Enter—in through the hall now
Center—center the call
To the Hall of the Hourglass
Red trail leads to the glass dome in the sky
Time‘s going fast—time’s going slow
Time‘s going round in circles
Time‘s going fast—time’s going slow
Time‘s going round in circles
In the Hall of the Hourglass the sky comes drifting through
Passing through view in circles
The time of the hour mass passes right on cue
Massing through light in circles
(Never does it stop spinning past the walls)
(Never does it stop climbing up the halls)
Time‘s going round in circles
Annabelle lived in a big old house
She always talked to the chopped-tail mouse
She looked in the mirror and her image cried
She looked in the mirror and her image died
Hourglass sands would sift down through,
And every day her hatred grew
Kismet and Kosmet‘s Ways to Worlds Beyond
Life was not as kindred to him as he thought that it should be
In the Hall of the Hourglass the sky comes drifting through
Passing through view in circles
The time of the hour mass passes right on cue
Massing through light in circles
Time‘s going fast—time’s going slow
Time‘s going round in circles
Enter—in through the hall now
Center—center the call
To the Hall of the Hourglass
Red trail leads to the glass dome in the sky

—Any Different—
Well, Perulton—well, well Perulton
We see that you made a friend
Someone that you dare defend
So Perulton, what’s it gonna be now?
Your lovely little sweetheart?
Your candy dandy sweet-tart? huh?!
So you think she’s any different—
Different from the rest?
Do you want us to come and put her—
Put her to our test?
Perulton dear, you can be such a pest
Perulton, we have given you the best
When will you learn?
When will you learn?
When will you learn?
When will you learn?
You’re welcome to bring into Drummssdullville
Anyone that you please
But you still gotta pay the fees
And you've committed to keep your deal
You’ve signed, and agreed on before
You don’t wanna keep it no more? huh?!
So you think she’s any different—
Different from the rest?
Do you want us to come and put her—
Put her to our test?
Perulton dear, you can be such a pest
Perulton, we have given you the best
When will you learn?
When will you learn?
When will you learn?
When will you learn?

Mulled Wine

—Mulled Wine—
In the frozen darkness of the mirror maze
Was a search for many years in vain
Following clues that led to strange, strange places
Through intrigues and deep pain
But reality was growing softer now
And the fabric seemed to be wearing thin
All the pathways forked through the parallels
To a velvet chamber deep within
A heavy curtain lifted back that night
To familiar eyes from a thousand dreams
The mirror image of divisions made
Outside of time under bright moonbeams
In a wave that felt like Christmas Eve
They filled the cup with mulled wine
With cinnamon and honey—beaming forth so sunny
In a vortex of sparkle and shine
For the briefest of moments nothing is missing
When they fill the cup with mulled wine
Against a wall of roses—the awe that it exposes
And the glow will always be divine of mulled wine
Like fantastic players in a storybook
They shared a dance, and perfect prose
Bright white heat melted many layers of ice away
Revealing the soft song of the rose
With a key to the lock of a long dead fire
Held captive to destroyers of mankind
The forest deer ran into the cold, dark wood
And met the song within his mind
All illusions were shattered as his pain was felt
The snowflake spelled eternity
Our Father allowed this story to occur
And what is left, well, we’ll just have to see
In a wave that felt like Christmas Eve
They filled the cup with mulled wine
With cinnamon and honey—beaming forth so sunny
In a vortex of sparkle and shine
For the briefest of moments nothing is missing
When they fill the cup with mulled wine
Against a wall of roses—the awe that it exposes
And the glow will always be divine of mulled wine
