LYRICS
You don’t forget what your focus is on
You forget what to focus on
The water’s boiling over
The cake is going to burn
Will I come to discover
Will I ever learn
Rock-a-bye maybe
On the tree top
When the bow breaks
The baby will drop
The cradle will rock
Those high stakes
Those high stakes of maybe

LYRICS
There’s an angel of fortune
Watching over my shoulder
Co-authors the tune
As we both grow older

Watching over me
Helping me to see
The path ahead more clearly

Helping guide me
To where to be
Closer to the heart, dearly

Looking out for me
Guarding that we’re free
Protecting fiercely

LYRICS
Aren’t you glad
You’re glad
Instead of mad?
Not wasting away
Good times
You could have had
Glad for the glad that’s had
Since a lad
Self-made, I’m
Not wasting away time
Aren’t you glad?
Glad for the glad that’s had
Maybe a tad more glad
To add to the glad tab
Aren’t you glad
Glad for the glad that’s had?

LYRICS
I’m done waiting
Anticipating

Move to the next
Brain flexed

Roll the dice

Move ahead… roll twice
Check your mate
Done with fate

LYRICS
with a wit to kill
The knife of life
With a bit of thrill
Arrive @ alive
Send x,x,x’s & o,o,o’s
Virtual hugs and blown kisses
Who knows?
Enough shoulder shrugs
And, near misses
Select x,x,x’s & o,o,o’s
However remote the vote
Hugs and kisses
At the end of the line
The end of my time
Hear the rhyme
Endure under my signature
Love,
… x,x,x’s & o,o,o’s

PS I love you

LYRICS
See what I mean
All coming clean
Throwing out the baby
In the bathwater
Maybe,
You are not sure

See what I mean
All coming clean
Cutting off the nose
TO spite the ‘ole face
Who knows,
Could end up in disgrace

See what I mean
All coming clean
Riding the gravy train
Engineer’s insane
Your fears,
Owed in arrears

LYRICS
That’s 6 of one
Would you rather
Have a half-dozen
Of the other
Does it really matter
When all is said and one
Hell has frozen over

A 12 inch run
Would you rather
A foot chosen
Of the other
Won/won
Does it really matter
When all is said and one
Hell has frozen over

Up the chimney down
Not down the chimney up
If you’re in to figuring out
It’s about _______….

Deep in the summertime
Sometime deep in the summertime
It was deep

LYRICS

Pound a nail
Got to hang a picture
Another nail
Got another picture
Just in case
You want to see
Posterity

Scoop and bail
Or sink before we sail
Cry and wail
Won’t help to change the tale
Just in case
They want to see
Posterity

Please pinch me
A dose of reality
Please pinch me
Rouse from serenity
Just in case
I doubt my
Mortality

LYRICS
Look around
Oh, my…
Everyone under the same sky
Look around
Then, why…
Blunder and plunder the last try?
Far off
Aloof
Living under the same roof
No, not alone
We all live in the same home
Get down to Earth!
For what it’s worth
Get down to Earth

Look around
Rat race
Everyone rush to the same place
Look around
Home base
Occupying the same space
Far off
Aloof
Living under the same roof
No, not alone
We all live in the same home
Get down to Earth!
For what it’s worth
Get down to Earth

Is Earth in space
Is the space between Earth
And every other place, space?
If so, I’d like to know
Why do we say:

Isn’t every day
In the heavens

The heavens and…
The heavens-nauts
Have nots or heaven-nauts
Isn’t every day
In the heavens
Why not?
I’d love to know
Here we go
Heaven and Earth
Heaven in Earth
Sprouting birth
Sprouting forth

To the happy ever after ending
Until we meet again
Forever a friend
Together whether together

In the vain
Of one and the same

For ying and yang
Together whether together
Together weather together

To the happy ever after ending

Forever a friend

Ohhh the insanity
Working on the front lines
Of humanity
The slow death of empathy
Closed minds and land mines
Blown-up sanity
Ohhh goddamn our roles
Ohhh god save our souls
Open our eyes
Time to realize
Bodies are dropping like flies
Ohh the calamity
Volunteer from the rear
Wants to try n’ steer
Familiarity
With the dumb questions to ask
’cause my head is up my a$$
