Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A spark is catching
Its’ starting to glow
The light it’s fetching
Starting to grow
As the flames start the dance
Look the same at first glance
But once I stop and stare
Then I become aware
Of the intimacy in the intricacy
Of creating me and letting free

The first to rib me
And have me take a knee
Putting together
Then, watching whether….
As the people start to dance
Look the same at first glance
But once I stop and stare
Then I become aware
Of the intimacy in the intricacy
Of creating me and letting free

Chords: Am G D / Am C E Am / Em Am

LYRICS
She suggests
But, I digress….

She suggests
A little finesse
But, I’m so confused
How can the blues be bliss?
So, tell me this
How can the blues be bliss?
What’d I miss
Miss,
You suggest
A little finesse?

She suggests
But, I digress….

LYRICS
When confronted with puzzles and problems
Scratch my head… go to work and try n’ solve ’em
There’s an answer
Waiting right there
A solution
Evolution
If, then
And or
Logic’s in store
If there’s more
Then think again
And, we’ll be sowing
A solution evolution

A song about conducting experiments.

LYRICS
I’m not looking for lithium
I’m not falling for illusion
… just looking for a’lil fusion
A bit of a reactor
Added to my factor
And, I’ll light up the world
And, we’ll light up our world

To have my own little sun
Would be, oh, such fun
A lil’ reactor… fusion, my son

LYRICS
Heaven’s calling…
… home
Feel all alone
On your own?
The bad guys are knocking
Heaven’s calling
All enthralling
If you feel like talking

Home alone
Pick up the phone
There’s no use in sulking
Heaven’s calling
No need stalling
If you feel like talking

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I don’t know about any of that
Straight-up fiction
There’s no matter of fact
Saying you “own it”
‘s not quite accurate
… at any rate….
If the devil’s in the details
Then what are your credentials?
If you notion’s built on solid rock
Why not walk-the-walk
… instead of talk…
Talk-the-talk, talk, talk, talk?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
My gift to you
Think before I do
Gift in return
Please do the same, too
Doing unto others
As they would do to you
All sisters and brothers
From the broad point-of-view
What would God do
If she were you?

Save the planet
Consider the habitat
God won’t damn it
Why would you do that?
My gift to you
Think before I do
Gift in return
Please do the same, too
Dedicate the festivals
To all the animals
Don’t save the holidays
To show your kind ways
What would God do
If she were you?

How I long for the winter’s cold
Ice skates
Snowflakes
Stories told
By the fireside
Seasons tide

Do you long for the winter’s cold

Start to long for Christmases old
Days were merry… winter’s cold
By the fireside
Seasons tide

Bring on tidings of joy
Bringing on tidings of joy

LYRICS
It took a while to sink in
But now I’m ready… begin
I’m alive
Why not thrive?

Since then I started thinking
You mean I’m really in skin?
It took a while to sink in
But now I’m ready… begin

I’m alive
Why not thrive?

Before my skin is wearing thin
Guess it’s time that I begin
I’m alive
Why not thrive?

LYRICS
Some Samurai tried to testify
Earn his wings
Sword wielding non-yielding
Sort-of thing
Some died to testify
Earn his wings
Tryin’ to justify
If he’s flyin’
Or if he’s dyin’

Taking on the King of Prussia
Earn his wings
Going nuclear
Putin’s Russia
Sword wielding non-yielding
Sort-of thing
Some died to testify
Earn his wings
Tryin’ to justify
If he’s flyin’
Or if he’s dyin’

LYRICS
Agreed in deed
Encroach warp speed
Eye popping
No stopping
Jam dropping feed
No fool with fuel
Going to make it last
Slingshot orbit
Will go past fast
Now we’re wailing
Solar sailing

Most often found
That the Earth is bound
To come round
Run round and round and round and round the sun
Come to know the star of the show
And, go!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Out of the blue
Into the fire
Carefully consider
What to desire
Do I wish that I was rich
Or never got sick
The rich are to die for
And, well…
The well can go to hell?
There’s more

Out of the blue
Into the fire
Carefully consider
What to desire
Do I wish for fortune and fame
My life will never be the same
My life will never… will forever…
Be insane

Out of the blue
Into the fire
Carefully consider
What to desire
Do I wish for love and a wife
Too soon doomed to a destiny of strife
Do I wish to always be well
Well, all I’s die
… some go to hell

LYRICS
Wait till we see what’s in store
Like nothing we’ve seen before?
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

Wait till we see what’s to be
Like something we’ve yet to see
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

Wait till we get the meaning
Habitat needs cleaning
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

A song about Anthropological Climate Change and Pollution.
