bookmark_borderMy Story

LYRICS
This is a story of things to come
Things to come as they come undone
What we’ll take is more fame and fake
What we’ll make is the same mistake

The same old story of things to come
Hands are wrung as we come undone
What we’ll take is more “For God’s sake!”
What we’ll make is the same mistake

The moral of the story of things to come
Don’t be the cause to come undone
Take less
Make less mess than we create
Give more
Before reaching our end date

Dum ditty dum

bookmark_borderFor Christ’s Sake

LYRICS
Oh, Mary
Is your load heavy to carry
Though weary
Seeing things clearly
Oh, merry
Can’t just unload your sin upon him
Then turn around and do it again

Oh, Lord
Evangelicals getting board
The word
Is being taken for absurd
You’ve heard?
Can’t just unload your sin upon him
Then turn around and do it again

Oh, God
Self-pity… self-applaud
How odd
Didn’t spare the rod
Amen (But, when?)
Can’t just unload your sin upon him
Then turn around and do it again

bookmark_borderWhere to Begin?

LYRICS
I’m thinking there must be something
On my mind again
The name of the song sung
Is on the tip of my tongue
If only I could remember
Where to begin….

Prefer stick or carrot
Hoard it quick or repeat?

Prefer sour
Or so sweet
Final hour
Or repeat?

Rather live
Try to die
Rather give
Love’s reply

Remember what’s on my mind
Try to be kind

LYRICS
Get on your marks
Get ready to go
Let’s throw some sparks
We’ll put on a show
The human race
We set the pace
Of survival
We’re face-to-face
With the human race
Our rival

Out of the chutes
We’re on a roll
Freed from our roots
Or digging a hole?
The human race
We set the pace
Of survival
We’re face-to-face
With the human race
Our rival

The finish line
Comin’ ’round the bend
Before our time
Came to “The End”
The human race
We set the pace
Of survival
We’re face-to-face
With the human race
Our rival

LYRICS
Can you tell me if I got this right
The falling rain obscures sunlight
The falling reign obscures sunlight
A mirage disguised as camouflage
Where I am more than meets the eye
You, too?

Clouds form a shroud and shield from view
In broad daylight the sky so blue
A mirage disguised as camouflage
Where I am more than meets the eye
You, too?

The daylight is going to squirrel a hole
Letting delight play her role
Rainbows from rain reflect sunlight
The falling reign’s final sight
The daylight is going to squirrel a hole
Letting delight play her role
Play her role
Let her roll
A mirage disguised as camouflage
Where I am more than meets the eye
You, too?

bookmark_borderBeing Whole

A dripping faucet seems random but when plotted as a strange attractor, reveals an eerie order unexpected by conventional means.

LYRICS
Picking up all the pieces
That ceases
Being whole
Putting them all in place
That’s the race
That’s the goal
The clock is ticking
It’s running down
Your eyes are tricking
Smile or frown?

Picking up all the pieces
That ceases
Being whole
Putting them all in place
That’s the race
That’s the goal
Time keeps on slipping
Into the future
Like a faucet dripping
Chaos for sure

Picking up all the pieces
That ceases
Being whole
Putting them all in place
That’s the race
That’s the goal
The sun is setting
Falling from the sky
There’s no forgetting
The meaning of why

No escaping the reckoning’s due
Justify my ways and means
Electrify the days and scenes

Rectify I

No escaping the reckoning’s due
Justify the fat and lean
Electrify the plays and seems

LYRICS
Can you hear the hoofs beating
Did you hear hearts are bleeding
Putting my eat to the ground
Listen to the stampede proceed
All suicidal with their greed
Putting my ear to the ground
Getting to hear what’s going down
Found the sound vibration
Sound the celebration

Starting to feel those souls proceeding
Mending hearts from bleeding
Putting my ear to the ground
Starting to feel those drums beating
Beating back the greed and cheating
Putting my ear to the ground
Getting to hear what’s going down
Found the sound vibration
Sound the celebration

LYRICS
Confirmed by choice
Silence your voice
Teetering on the tottering
Leaning over the edge
Wishing and washing
Standing on our ledge
Driving wedge

Inaction in action
No satisfaction
Teetering on the tottering
Leaning over the edge
Wishing and washing
Standing on our ledge
Driving wedge

United we stand
Divided we fall
Time to understand
We make the call
For the I, me, my, mine
It’s come time
The crime
Is past its prime

LYRICS
The ocean is jokin’ again
Hard to understand
Where she’ll land
Come see the sea
From my island
And you’ll see/sea where I stand
Knee deep
Sea level rise
Should come as no surprise
Realize
More than a creep
Neck deep
More than a creep
Seek
Higher ground
If none’s to be found
We’ll drown
Can’t refuse deluge refuge
Didn’t want to be
A climate refuge
You see
You sea

A song inspired by the 1,000 year extreme weather event:
April 13, 2023
“Rain of biblical proportions Fort Lauderdale residents stranded in homes, cars”
More than 2 feet of rain has brought Fort Lauderdale to a standstill, shutting down the city’s airport and stranding drivers on flooded streets — and more flash flooding is on its way.

LYRICS
Once upon a time
There was a king
Unaware of anything
Couldn’t hear the birds in song
Couldn’t see sunlight
Wouldn’t hear the herds gone wrong
Wouldn’t see what’s right
Goodnight

Once upon a time
There was a queen
Unaware of the scene
Couldn’t hear the birds in song
Couldn’t see sunlight
Wouldn’t hear the herds gone wrong
Wouldn’t see what’s right
Goodnight

In the time of our crime
There were subjects
Unaware of subjects
Couldn’t hear the birds in song
Couldn’t see sunlight
Wouldn’t hear the herds gone wrong
Wouldn’t see what’s right
Wouldn’t do what’s right
Goodnight

LYRICS
The proof is in the pudding
But you didn’t eat your meat
The goof is in the fudging
Applying too much heat
Now your pi is going to fry
Situation dire
Desserts on fire
Deserts transpire

The proof is in the pudding
But you didn’t eat your meat
The goof is in the fudging
Applying too much heat
Now you’ll find “I’s” going blind
Situation’s dire
Our Man’s a liar
End times transpire

The proof is in the pudding
But you didn’t eat your meat
The goof is in the fudging
Applying too much heat
Now your yearn is going to burn
Situations dire
As the temp. goes higher
Same flame transpires
Insane flame transpires

Joke or heroes
If I am a hologram

Singin’ the blues

Life of illusion
Wife of confusion

Who? Human?
Singin’ the blues
Lightin’ the fuse

The sands of time
In our hourglass
Alas, pass
(They go to past so fast)
Of the grains that remain
We’ll sustain
… and entertain
The notion
Of lives in motion
Set free
In liberty
Eternally

The vortex takes the sand
And turns it ’round
Takes it down
Of the grains that remain
We’ll sustain
… and entertain
The notion
Of lives in motion
Set free
In liberty
Eternally

Spent future can be found
Dropping down on the mound
Of the grains that remain
We’ll sustain
… and entertain
The notion
Of lives in motion
Set free
In liberty
Eternally
