LYRICS
Geese upon the pond
The temperature went real low
Probably don’t want to know
Are you sure?
The water started to freeze
While fast asleep the geese
Didn’t wake up in time
Didn’t work out just fine
The temperature went so low
Hated to come to know
The goose was footloose

LYRICS
Hard to choose
Just can’t lose
If picking both
is not a choice?
Might as well
Roll the dice
Craps! Snake eyes
Tell no lies
Keep rollin’
Keep rollin’

Hard to choose
Just can’t lose
Baby needs some new shoes
Hard to choose to lose
If picking both
is not a choice?
Might as well
Roll the dice
Craps! Snake eyes
Tell no lies
Keep rollin’
Keep rollin’

bookmark_borderOn a Sleigh Ride?

LYRICS
… on a sleigh ride?
Ho, ho, ho…. no.
You’ll split my side
Have you ever been sledding?
I’m not talking “on a sleigh ride”
Don’t mean to be mean
… but sledding
Heading downhill
The thrill of the spill
… sledding
Heading downhill
Until…
The fire dies upon our frozen sighs

bookmark_borderIf Only….

If only it was that simple
Maybe it wouldn’t be such a gamble
Start The End in a scramble
Broken eggs
Does your luck have legs?
Break a leg
On my knees and beg
the odds are at odds
The risk of the risk
Take in to account
Lief’s amount

If there were just no mistakes
Maybe there wouldn’t be so much at stake
Start The End with an earthquake
Broken eggs
Does your luck have legs?
Break a leg
On my knees and beg
the odds are at odds
The risk of the risk
Take in to account
Lief’s amount

LYRICS
The scent of pine in here
Means “the tree” is near
Decorated or not
That sweet smell
Hits the spot

There! Wafting in the air
The cookies must be cookin’

Hits the spot

Mmmm… that sugar and spice
An aroma oh so nice
Just a dream or not
That sweet smell
Hits the spot

LYRICS
I didn’t hear the light switch click
Now I’m standing here
In the dark
Waiting on that magic spark

I didn’t know the sun went down
Don’t know where to go

Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark

Now come on
Who pulled the plug
Waiting on dawn
Through the dark
Waiting on that magic spark
… on a lark

LYRICS
The problem with a couple
Wher4e you run into trouble
The problem with a couple
You’ve only two
(Limiting what you can do)
But much of the time
It works just fine
You can’t lose
With a pair of shoes
A pair of glasses
Also passes
Burt if you ask me
For several
Need at least three

The problem with a couple
Wher4e you run into trouble
The problem with a couple
You’ve only two

It works just fine
Gotta love

Can’t compare
to a matching pair
Burt if you ask me
For several
Need at least three

LYRICS
There’s a ripple
On our surface
There’s a rip in
The human race
So it seems

Need sown
No deceit in deficit; to own

Is there a tear
In the fabric
Is it hip
Or is it tragic?
So it seems
Our seams
Need sown
No deceit in deficit; to own

The ways before
Are now no more
Are they rearranging

Are you engaging

Are now no more

The knights mount up
Their colors blowing in the wind
Beast upon beast
Riding into The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse

The colors glowing from what’s been
Bombardment meant
Bringing on The End
To write the final chapter

They can’t give up
Their colors running with the blood
Belly of the beast
Always wins in The End
To write the final chapter
Final verse

Do you have a healthy superego?
Feel guilt for your wrongs?
Do you know
Or same ole song
Won’t be long

Have a healthy superego?

Right the wrong…
Before we go
You know

Check the temperature, for sure
Feel the forehead
Make sure you’re not dead

If your soul thirsts
Put others first
And you will feed it
Your heart will start to beat
Along with dancing feet

If your soul starves
The knife that carves
— your goodwill feeds it
Your heart will start to beat
Along with dancing feet
Your mind you’ll get to know
The blood will start to flow

when your soul strives
Brings others ‘live
A need, we feed it
Your heart will start to beat
Along with dancing feet
Your mind you’ll get to know
The blood will start to flow
