LYRICS
If this is not the way things that are are suppose to be
I suppose you’ll want to be calling it destiny
The answer’s in your calendar
The way you will tell your time
The question’s whether you squander
All the time that’s “mine”

Spent the last year Rocky Mountain Way
                         E A G E
Couldn't get much higher
                                       E A G E
Out to pasture think it's safe to say
                   E7
Time to open fire

       A7                                             E7       E
And we don't need the ladies cryin' cause the story's sad   Ah ha
          A7                                           B7
Cause the Rocky Mountain Way is better than the way we had

Well he's tellin us this and he's tellin us that changes it every day
                       E A G E
Says it doesn't matter
                                                           E A G E
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat playin it play by play
                          E7
Time to change the batter
[Chorus]

LYRICS
The way the thing goes
I don’t know… who knows
If what you’re left with
Is a bit of mammoth
After all has come and gone
You know it can’t be long
When all that’s left of you
Is a finite residue
Between now ant then
I am up to begin
With a little more carin’

… a finite carbon residue
Between now ant then
I am up to begin
With a little more carin’
(Do, do, do)

LYRICS
Adrift in the day
Time is on the way
Might as well start
To sift through the weigh
Worthwhile the stay
Living from the heart
The by way
Being the high way / highway
The “my way”
Takes the backseat
On holiday
Pick up the beat

Help to shine it bright
Standing in the light

To sing about a higher thing

Woah, woah, woah
Don’t say don’t
No, no, no

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s hard for me to say
Since you put it that way
Finally starting to see
The edge of reality
Be careful because
You might fall off
And the slope looks steep
Deep… into the aloof
As is… as your is was

It’s kind of hard to tell
Well… since you put it that way
Pointing out clearly
The edge of reality
Be careful because
You might fall off
And the slope looks steep
Deep… into the aloof
As is… as your is was

LYRICS
I am hopin’ I got this right
… all right
I am hopin’ I got this right
… alright
If I made a wrong turn
… guess I’m gonna learn
Best not play with fire
… or fell the burn
Now, we’re on the right track
Please, please, take me back
To what’s next
Perplex
What’s next?

I am hopin’ I got this right
… all right
I am hopin’ I got this right

They say leave a sleeping dog lay

Ain’t no use in crying
… don’t bother praying
Now, we’re on the right track
Please, please, take me back
To what’s next
Perplex
What’s next?

LYRICS
Look to the sky
It’s time to fly
Close your eyes
Start to rise
Open the window
Out of the shadow
Opened 3rd-eye
Watches time fly
(Close your eyes
Feel the rise
Opened 3rd-eye
Watching time fly)

Let go of the tether
Set yourself free
Goes on forever
Into eternity
Above the sky
On time we fly
We realize
Rise of the rise
Opened our sight
Into the light
Discovered prize
Into the rise

bookmark_borderSuspension Bridge

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Suspense… is the bridge burning behind me
Suspense… is there bridge building before me
… hope to bring clarity

Is it the kind you can draw
Is there anything there at all
Could it be the longest I ever saw
Or like London’s… headed for a fall

Suspense… is the bridge burning behind me
Suspense… is there bridge building before me
… hope to bring clarity

Do two force-members form a truss
If a standing wave caused a bust
Would it raise quite a fuss
Engineering is a must

Suspense… is the bridge burning behind me
Suspense… is there bridge building before me
… hope to bring clarity

Suspense… is it suspension
Does it have a pension for tension
Did I already mention
Suspense int the suspension

This song is about using a suspended 4th chord.

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
          Dsus2          | E | % |
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
E                     E       
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin'

      D5      G      E
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
     E           G       A
That never would come to me
D5           G    E
Workin' on a mystery
E         G       A 
Goin' wherever it leads
A       G      E
Runnin' down a dream

I felt so good like anything was possible

I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes

It was always cold, no sunshine

I put the pedal down to make some time
        E                      E
There's something good waitin' down this road

I'm pickin' up whatever's mine

bookmark_borderSolid to Gas

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Started off as a little patch
Surrounded by tall grass
Seems my notice didn’t catch
As the bulk of time did pass
Time did pass
Solid to gas

Bit by bit a little more
Edge by edge would creep
For sure, it wasn’t long before
The length and width went deep
Come to know
Gardens grow

A cumulative experience
From the quick to the dead
Better relocate the fence
To sleep in my own bedf
Come to know
Gardens grow

Carbon footprint left a dent
But alas, it will not last
Won’t be long ’til solid’s sent
My carbon up in gas
Time did pass
Solid to gas

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As a matter of fact
Went from gray to black
The sky opened up
And, started to cry
Thunder shook
Second look
Figure why
(Why she started to cry)

Flight of the lark
The sky went dark
Started to reign
Down on me
The rain started to reign
Turning loss to gain
I see
Look up!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Take a hammer and nail it
Take a driver and screw it
The best bit of nailing it
Satisfaction of the tool
Beats the worst of failing it
Degradation of the fool

Aim the crosshairs make the mark
Smoke and mirrors fear the spark
The best bit of nailing it
Satisfaction of the tool
The best part of rocking it
Turn the rock into a jewel

Right the fall and stand it
Make your move and land it
The best bit of nailing it
Satisfaction of the tool
The best part of accomplishment
Satisfaction or the goal

bookmark_borderGet Along

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sure lookin’ like we’re on our own
Divine intervention’s been postponed
“My” God! Where have you gone
How are we suppose to get along?

We’re at each other’s throats
One smirks the other gloats
Heaven’s to Betsy! Have mercy
Mother Goose to the nursery

Know what’s crossing my mind
It might pay out being kind
Remind the mind: humanity
Rise above the insanity
(Sanity, sanity….)
