LYRICS
Hear you got the disease
Hear you caught it with ease
The further you spread
The more will drop dead
I say,
“I beg your pardon…
Spreader at the Rose Garden?”
Before they could pass the bill
Spread it over capital hill

Hear you got the disease
Hear you caught it with ease
The further you spread
The more will drop dead
COVID free is now long gone
Spread it to the Pentagon
Hospital break-out like King Kong
Taking it home… it won’t be long

bookmark_borderDo You Find it Funny?

LYRICS
And, do you find it funny?
Running afoul
Throwing the vowels
In the name of pride
Bestowing “they died”
Throwing swords as words
Absurd
“Oh, I think it’s something I heard/herd.”
Soundbite blurb
Cog with a blog
And, do you find it funny?

                 Am   F5   G5
I heard the news baby
                     Am   F5   G5

But I got somethin' you need. Oh, yeah!
[Chorus]              Am   G
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
                         Am   G5
My love is rotten to the core
                    Am   G
Ain't talkin' 'bout love
                         Am        G
Just like I told you before. Yeah, before

                          Am   F5   G5
You know you're semi-good lookin'
                       Am   F5   G5
And on the streets again
                                  Am         F5   G5
Ooh yeah, you think you're really cookin' baby

You better find yourself a friend, my friend

I've been to the edge
                             Am   F5   G5
And there I stood and looked down
                         Am             F5   G5
You know I lost a lot of friends there, baby
                       Am   F5   G5
I got no time to mess around
[Bridge]                        Am               G
Mmm, so if you want it, got to bleed for it baby

Yeah! Got to, got to bleed, baby
                        Am               G
Mmm, you got to, got to bleed, baby

LYRICS
A once golden idol
From the pedestal… fall…
Fell from the garden
Then,
Fell into hell
Take care in your fare
Or fare thee well
Oh, well
Better luck next time
The next “I’m and mine”
All’s fair in love and time
No matter your riches
No matter your glory
When it comes to life’s bitches
It’s The End of the Story

LYRICS
The tale of:
Who’s Chasing Whose Tail?
Running round and round and round
Covering the same ground
Am I chasing your tail
Or you’re chasing mine
All the time
Not alone…
… thinking…
At least not chasing my own
I’m not chasing my own

bookmark_borderNot The Fall

LYRICS
It’s not the fall
No, not at all
In fact,
It’s the impact
No, not at all, after all
After the fall
Can you handle it…
The hit!
Just like that — splat
They say along the way
It’s a freefall
Life let out of the stall
Your I’s before your eyes
Until the final surprise
After all,
It’s not the fall
In fact,
It’s the impact

bookmark_borderCome December

LYRICS
Soon as October started
Felt like it was over
Now know November
The next endeavor
Come December
Never ceasing season of peace
Reigning down love from above
And at The End
The angels descend

Then came December
A time we’ll remember
From hustle n’ bustle alarm
To silent night calm
Dreaming on (and on and on)
Never ceasing season of peace
Raining down love from above
And at The End
The angels descend

LYRICS
Nevertheless
I can’t help myself anymore
I must confess
Nooo… woah… woe….
Can’t help myself anymore
No, don’t mean to laugh out loud
Not boasting… not proud
Boy,
Trying to be more coy
Way less
Than not being able
(Can I get stable?)
To help myself
Anymore
Trying to be more
Way less
Trying to be less
Weightless

bookmark_borderIn The Middle

LYRICS
In the middle of your center of gravity
Is the ability
To balance
There is that chance
To balance
Justify the position
Certify the situation
Is in equilibrium
And, ummm….
Balance
Balanced stance
For instance
Strike the chord: umbilical (physical)
From whence
Your center of balance
The physics of the psychics
The soul’s renter at the center
Of my gravity…
Ability for equity

bookmark_borderAxis

LYRICS
Some will come and some will go
Most of which we’ll never know
Come and get your get-up-and-go
If they say the Earth is flat
They don’t know where we’re at
That is just a matter of fact
The gravity to hold us down
An axis to spin around
We are just a slice of the pi
Down to earth under the sky

Some will come and some will go
Most of which we’ll never know
Come and get your get-up-and-go
If they don’t care about Her care
Why are they even there
It’s up to us to share the fare
The gravity to hold us down
An axis to spin around
We are just a slice of the pi
Down to earth under the sky

bookmark_borderAlready Thinking

LYRICS
Were you already thinking
It’s a good idea
If we hightail it
Out of here
Do the kids care
What their parents did
Do adults only
Know insults
Has the whole world gone completely mad
(Ohhh that’s too bad)

Maybe it’s time for a change of course
Shun the dark embark on our light force
Let the kids share What they did
Adults account for their results
In The End the whole world is glad
(Thankful for the good times had)
