LYRICS
Looking for options
For the operation
More fact than fiction
Propagandorist shun
Get ’em on the run
’till the dark is done
… into the rising sun
A (k)new day dawns
Going on and on and on

LYRICS
I write all morning
Write throughout the day
OK?
I write
Alright!

I write about the good
And those that should or could
Or would
I write
Alright!

I write of where I’m sent
And where I already went
Time spent
I write
Alright!

I write while there’s daylight
Then, right/write into the night
All’s right
I write
Alright!

LYRICS
… is sweet
I’m breathing
I’m being
Body’s leaving
I’m seeing
Being beyond needing
Needing only being
Conceding id
Forego ego
the essence of a presence
In the existence in us
The heartbeat is sweet

LYRICS
It turns out
It’s easy
It’s easy to be
#uck their destiny
We shape our reality
And as it turns out
“To be or not to be”
Is easy
Be
It comes naturally
Dash to add a dash of veracity
#uck their inevitability
We shape our reality
If Mother Nature and the gods
Are at odds
Shift the shape
Of the hairless ape

LYRICS
Seeing the world through different eyes
Does this mean I’m going to grow wise
DO you wonder why everyone dies
Will I grow old before I grow wise?
Low and behold you’ll never grow old
As long as you’re wise beyond your years
Life takes hold warms hearts grown cold
Bringing joy to your tears suppressing your fears
And another year passes by
Wise ones don’t wait to die
Why not be the first to get by
To try

LYRICS
Notoriously big
Larger than life in death
Larger in width and breadth
Never renege
Only one life to give
Only one life to live
Chug and swig
Celebrate your victory
Tolerate your history

LYRICS
Not a joke
The center is evaporating
Fire’s stoked
Extremes are exasperating
Our island
I am thinking is sinking
Down

No mirage
The ground is disintegrating
Failed marriage
Red & Blue are separating
Gone to hell
Rally troops, alarm bell
Sound

LYRICS
If you can’t join ’em
Guess you better beat ’em…
… to the punchline
… in the nick of time
If they don’t know a joke
Dry humored limey bloke
I’m prone to go to the zone
Whacking the funny bone
Perplex with their reflex
Filling the gaff with laugh
Make ’em laugh ’til they cry
Postponing “Till the day I die!”
Killin’ it thrillin’ it to life

LYRICS
Living be
Living’s easy
Put quite simply
Once I was born
Didn’t have to learn
Sound the horn
Of feel the burn
Once given birth
Fell to this Earth
Didn’t have to strive
To stay alive
Nothing to do with conceit
My heart knew to beat
Begin, began, begun
The lungs knew… begun
Begin, began, begun
To be one
To breath the breeze with ease
Come to life void of strife
Saw the light to insight

LYRICS
What happens
When your wavelength hits the atmosphere
What happens
Turn to blue from clear?
Is it comforting to know
All the colors of the rainbow?

What happens
As the sun drops late day
What happens
Does it bend or break your ray
Is it comforting to know
All the colors of the rainbow?

What happens
As the day turns to night
What happens
Does the wavelength make red light
Is it comforting to know
All the colors of the rainbow?

LYRICS
Can you get me the skinny
The facts on the fat cats
IF the load is too heavy
If the facts are too many
Then are they cats
Or are they rats?

Can you give me the lowdown
The facts on the highfalutin
If the load has overgrown
And fat cats are overblown
Then are they cats
Or are they rats?

How about something upbeat
Half-full glasses for the masses
A well deserved treat
To dream complete
The flight of the dove
The release of the love
Then are they cats
Or are they rats?
