 ORIGINAL LYRICS:
THINK OF THESE THOUGHTS AS LIMITLESS LIGHT
EXPOSING CLOSING CIRCUITRY OF FRIGHT
THINK OF EACH MOMENT HOLDING THIS BREATH
AS DEATH MINUTE IN DECIMAL

RESIDENT MINOR, HOW DO YOU PLEAD?

WE'LL NEED YOUR TESTIMONY ON THE STAND
SOLEMNLY SWEAR TO TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH
SO HELP YOU SON, NOW RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND

FATHER YOUR HONOR, MAY I EXPLAIN?

MY BRAIN HAS CLAIMED ITS GLORY OVER ME
I'VE A GOOD HEART ALBEIT INSANE
CONDEMN HIM TO THE INFIRMARY

ALL MINE TOWERS CRUMBLE DOWN THE FLOWERS GASPING UNDER RUBBLE
SHRIEKING IN THE HALL OF LULL, THY GENIUS SAVES A THIRST FOR TROUBLE

SCATTERING SPARKS OF THOUGHT ENERGY

DELIVER ME AND CARRY ME AWAY
HERE IN MY KINGDOM I AM YOUR LORD
I ORDER YOU TO COWER AND PRAY

NUNS COMMENCE INCANTING AS THE LIGHTNING STRIKES MINE TEMPLES THUS

ELECTRIFYING MINE CHAMBERS, WHOLLY SCORCHING OUT THINE SOVEREIGNTY

SO SPIRALING DOWN THY MAJESTY

I BEG OF THEE, HAVE MERCY ON ME
I WAS JUST A BOY YOU SEE
I PLEAD OF THEE HAVE SYMPATHY FOR ME

SEE HOW THE SERFS WORK THE GROUND (SEE HOW THEY WORK)
AND THEY GIVE IT ALL THEY'VE GOT
AND THEY GIVE IT ALL THEY'VE GOT
AND YOU GIVE IT ALL YOU'VE GOT 'TIL YOU'RE DOWN

SEE HOW THE BRAIN PLAYS AROUND

AND YOU FALL INSIDE A HOLE YOU COULDN'T SEE
AND YOU FALL INSIDE A HOLE INSIDE A-
SOMEONE HELP ME
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE MY MIND
DOCTOR I CAN'T TELL IF I'M NOT ME

WHEN IT GROWS BRIGHT, THE PARTICLES START TO

MARVEL HAVING MADE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT
NEVER THEY PONDER, WEATHER ELECTRIC
CALMING IF YOU LOOK AT IT RIGHT
 PROGRAM NOTES
THE MIND ELECTRIC is a song from the album HAWAII PART: II, by ミラクルミュージカル, or
Miracle Musical . This album is a side project headed by Joe Hawley, Ross Federman, and Bora
Karaca, who are members of the band Tally Hall. The original album consists of varying range of genres
and themes, from classical string orchestra instrumentals to video game synth to hip hop and rap. The
project is an extremely unique and poetic movement that tries to tell a story that can be interpreted in
many different ways. It was even released on 12/12/12 at 12:12:12 A.M., the day people thought the
world would end. The original version of THE MIND ELECTRIC was recorded with a unique range of
acoustic and electric instruments, as well as various vocal effects. However, in this arrangement, the
poetry of its chaotic theme is expressed with wind band instruments designed for a live concert
performance.

NOTES FOR THE CONDUCTOR:

THE MIND ELECTRIC requires a real piano. As similar to the original song, there is an excessive
use of the piano, and is, in some sections, the primary instrument. Intermediate to advanced piano skills
are required to play.
During different sections, it may be required to tune the timpani drums during the middle of the
performance.
 BYE, HI,
SIGH HAWAII
WE NEVER MEANT TO PART
SUBLIME THY ART
ONE LIGHT
HIGHER THAN THE SUN
INVISIBLE TO SOME
UNTIL IT S TIME
-JOE HAWLEY, DREAM SWEET IN SEA MAJOR
