lyrics

VERSE 1:
You make yourself and invited guest
Never leave a trail or a spec of a trace
You're a million mega-pixels of faith you make it easy to pull rank

PRE-CHORUS 1:
You keep three dots per in
Whip off, all your finger prints
Leave clues, drop several hints
But without overwhelming evidence

CHORUS:
I'm tempted to fly the flag at half-mast
You only answers to questions, if you ask
And grab a front row seat during the big bang blast
The Big Bang Blast, oh yeah

VERSE 2:
If it seems like I had to land the Hindenberg
In a highly implausible place
I would experiment to see if you show up
Without me begging first

PRE-CHORUS 2:
You keep us at arms length
No forwarding address to send a card of thanks
Was the sea that parted, part of of cruel prank
interrogated you still draw a blank

CHORUS:
I'm tempted to fly the flag at half-mast
You only answers to questions, if you ask
And grab a front row seat during the big bang blast
The Big Bang Blast, oh yeah

BRIDGE:
They celebrate and vote for you in droves
Hoping to score and encore of
The Miracles of Loaves and Fishes
Or get an extra helping of well-wishes
At a quasi Feast of Assumption
But until I'm 100% sure its you
I'm not making any presumptions

CHORUS:
I'm tempted to fly the flag at half-mast
You only answers to questions, if you ask
And grab a front row seat during the big bang blast
The Big Bang Blast, oh yeah

Artist Bio
John Q. Gruber (aka “Knock ‘Em Alive”) will be forever indebted to music. He writes and records songs as a form of pay-back (with interest), hoping to add to the long-term value of the vault. Nothing loaned him more inspiration than New York City between the years 1977 to 1984. It was gritty, grimy and explosively-charged. These were the times of a near-bankrupt city, the reign of Th ... more
