Posted on by admin

“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

LYRICS
Who was the first to decry sky-high?
when was it found the ground was down?
How far
Relative to where you are
How near
Will infinity be clear
Oh dear
Opened a can of wormholes
Space-time sort-a moles
Axis and poles

Who was the first to see eternity?
When were we sure there’s more future?
How far
Relative to where you are
How near
Will infinity be clear
Oh dear
Opened a can of wormholes
Space-time sort-a moles
Axis and poles

What are the odds to defy “to die”?
Who’s to question “why not I?”
How far
Relative to where you are
How near
Will infinity be clear
Oh dear
Opened a can of wormholes
Space-time sort-a moles
Axis and poles

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Wind wisp turned whipped
A temperature dip
For a bit
(Winds whirl… times twirl)
Soon to be found
Sudden rebound

Rain drip turned dropped
At first just a bit
Then a lot
(Perplex vortex)
Soon to be found
Sudden rebound

What it means to feel weather extremes
See rages… hear vents
Mean events
Extreme events
(Winds whirl… times twirl
Perplex vortex)
Soon to be found
Sudden rebound

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you feeling normal
In an abnormal world
Thoughts are reeling/realing forward
In an informal way
Though not random
Definitely out-of-the-box
Through space’s star-dom
Sinking in space rocks

You a mental nomad
Thinking out-of-this-world
The trips that we have had
With hearts made out of gold
Though not random
Definitely out-of-the-box
Through space’s star-dom
Sinking in space rocks

No sense being frugal
Giving love away/a way
Angels hearing our call
“Our hear”/are here to save the day

LYRICS
Am I floating in the Milky Way
Is that how you say

In a space race
Hurling rapid’s pace
Hold the face
Gravity my friction
Naivety my diction

Slingshot around the closest star

Maneuver man-overboard

Years appear smeared

LYRICS
Can you give me the time of day
I seem to have lost my way
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
Found my space
But displaced
I am
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
May I continue on….

Can you give me the time of year
Even what season’s drawing near
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
Found my space
But displaced
I am
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
May I continue on….

Can you tell me day or night
I’m searching for the light
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
Found my space
But displaced
I am
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
May I continue on….

LYRICS
Bring on wisdom
Less kingdom
Chaos it
Not random
An arm’s length from Armageddon
Fare the well gates of hell
Time did tell

Bring on wisdom
Less stardom
Chaos is
Not random
Procrastination?
It’s too late
It’s know/no surprise
Need to get wise
No more lies

Bring on wisdom
Chaos is
Not random
When does a sage come of age
Why does logic still outrage?
Turn the page

bookmark_borderUpdraft

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Particle derived raindrops arise
The mass amassed depends on size
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

Evaporate
At an ever increasing rate
Participate
A pounding precipitate
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

What goes up must come down
Bob and weave… avoid the crown
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

The moral of the story
Don’t belittle
The vision and the glory
Of Chicken Little
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
From the front end
To the backstop
Forget amend
Can’t stop the clock
Holding back won’t matter
It won’t stop the sting
Watch as the brains scatter
Missing everything

From the upside
To the get-down
We will reside
Make it our own
Holding back won’t matter
It won’t stop the sting
Watch as the brains scatter
Missing everything

From the side way
To the high way
There is no way
In the low way
Holding back won’t matter
It won’t stop the sting
Watch as the brains scatter
Missing everything

LYRICS
The stop at The End of the Drop
32 feet per second per second
Oh, to meet the levity of gravity
Standing on top looking down
What solace can be found
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
Over the edge on the ledge
What logic is found sound
Come on… look around
(Round and round)

The stop at The End of the Drop
32 feet per second per second
O2 to meet the levity of gravity
Standing on top looking down
What solace can be found
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
As time goes past, grasps can’t last
Will our panic confound
Come on… look around
(Round and round)

The stop at The End of the Drop
32 feet per second per second
Oh, to meet the levity of gravity
Standing on top looking down
What solace can be found
Come on… look around
(Round and round)
As time goes past, grasps can’t last
Will our panic compound
Come on… look around
(Round and round)

Part particle
Yet, slave to wave
Put together just right

Cruising at the speed of light

Tossing the pebble
And watching the ripple
Expand
Wider, wider
Crossing the level

Theoretically

Behave as wave]

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The collision of our galaxies
Is something that I did not foresee
Didn’t have the luxury
To be omniscient
To be…
The big bang event
To be omniscient
To be…
Omnipresent
To be omniscient
To be…
The essence

The fusion of our closest star
Then plant your life, would seem bizarre
I couldn’t have thought so far
To be omniscient
To be…
The big bang event
To be omniscient
To be…
Omnipresent
To be omniscient
To be…
The essence

Spinning in the light
Turning day to night
What brilliant insight
To be omniscient
To be…
The big bang event
To be omniscient
To be…
Omnipresent
To be omniscient
To be…
The essence
