Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Along the road
Head might explode
Thought it was roadkill
But, Boy, what a thrill

Along the road
Head might explode
First, I was not sure
What was I looking for?

Along the road
Head might explode
Now, I’m really sure
A long lost treasure

    Em             A        Em  A
The goddess on the mountain top,
    Em             A      Em   A
was burning like a silver flame
    Em        A          Em  A
The summit of beauty and love,
    Em    A       Em
and Venus was her name
      Am    D Am
She's got it,
     D           Em    A Em A
yeah baby, she's got it

Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire;
   Em     A   Em A
at your desire

Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire;
   Em     A   Em A
at your desire

Her weapons were her crystal eyes,
making every man mad
Black as the dark night she was;
got what no one else had
Wow!

She's got it,
yeah baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire;
at your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire;
at your desire
Em   A   Em   A
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh 4x
She's got it,
yeah baby, she's got it
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire;
at your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire;
at your desire

LYRICS
If at first we don’t succeed
Raise a fist… we won’t recede
Don’t be shy to try again
And, we’ll turn the goal to has been
1,2,3, go
Ready… heave, ho
2,3,4
Do it some more

If at first we don’t succeed
Quench our thirst… we’ll let it bleed
No, don’t cry. We’ll try again
No big deal… back to being
1,2,3, go
Ready… heave, ho

Do it some more

LYRICS
What about peace
A piece of peace
A slice of love
… an understanding, thereof
Finally starting to see
Since I let it into me
I can let it out
That’s what life’s about

A piece from birth
Sprinkle of love

Finally starting to see
Since I let it into me
I can let it out
That’s what life’s about

LYRICS
Oh, what a big surprise
Right between the eyes
On the 4th of July
Your rights have gone wrong
Ended up in this song
So, it won’t be long
Now, won’t you sing along
Now, won’t you sing along
… with me
“Me, me, me!”
All about me
Being free
To do whatever I want to do
Even if it’s over you
Over you

LYRICS
How long…?

And if you use a pole to vault
Is that really your fault?

How long
Is the long jump
(How long, how long)
How high
Is the high jump?
(Thump, thump)
And if you use a pole to vault
Is that really your fault?
Astounds with leaps and bounds
Aspire ever higher

bookmark_borderI of the Storm

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Looking back
Should’ve looked forward
Wrongway slack
Oh, God! My Lord!
Better grab my sword
Attack!
My eyes see the crises
In the I of the storm
Dot the I’s in crisis
Cross your t’s… forewarned

In hindsight
Should’ve had foresight
Am I right?
Backed in a corner… fight!
Better grab my gun
And, run!
My eyes see the crises
In the I of the storm
Dot the I’s in crisis
Cross your t’s… forewarned
My eyes have seen the crises
In the I of the storm

A song about the climate crisis and the environmental crises that we should have seen coming. How do you intend to fight the extreme weather… sword… gun?

When it comes to thirst
You know that first comes first
Find a hideaway
Decide to stay?

What’s to recommend

Find a hideaway
Decide to stay?

bookmark_borderMore Freedom?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
More freedom?
DO you wonder how come
More responsibility
Falls upon me
Going from rags to riches
Comes with some hitches

More freedom?
We wonder how come
Social consequence
Comes with common sense
Action sequence
No sitting on the fence

More freedom?
Loose and undone
It’s time once again
To find a good citizen
Utilizing judgement
Of what freedom meant
What’s it mean
American scene

LYRICS
Can you see through lead lined walls
Survive stopping the greatest falls
Can you? Will you?
Can you stop a speeding bullet
Hit your chest and live right through it?
Can you? Will you?

That last for hours and hours
Superpowers
That save ours and ours

As the time ticks down
We’re on our own
10, 9, 8… 3, 2, run!

LYRICS
Sitting in with the garden
Is really starting to grow
On me

Know how to flow
We’ll put the flowers to bed
And shed some shred
Flush in the brush
Brush with the flush
Know what it means
In the greens
