LYRICS
It began…
The evolution of man
From the water
To above
While the Earth revolved
Man evolved
Into love
In tune… love
Embrace the human race
We’re not so bad
Aren’t you glad
Problem resolved
We evolved
Into love
In tune… love

LYRICS
There’s a space
Between the doors
Does no one care
Any more
There’s no space
Up on the floors
Does someone care
Any more

Every name of the dead
Shall be read
At least,
If you’re name is said
Not the beast
666 fix
777
Gone to heaven

Quite contrary
Fence around a cemetery
People are just dying to get in
The End
Where we begin

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you have a minute?
How far is infinite?
Gigantic
Or infinitely minute
Infinitely astute
Deaf, dumb and mute
Moot?

How infinite is infinity?
How far out
Do you need to go
Do you know?
Yes or know… question
Suggestion?
About how far out
Do you need to go
Do you know?

Bury them deep
Less their souls to seep

Hare to hide
Pile them wide
Bury them deep

LYRICS
I’m starting to wonder
What it is I’ll do
When I discover
What you’re saying is true
Will I drop my head
And cry out the eyes
Will I open my mouth
And swallow my price
Have you ever tried?

I’m starting to question
What it is I’ll say
When I realize
The mistakes along the way
Will I drop my head
And cry out the eyes
Will I open my mouth
And swallow my price
Have you ever tried?

I’m pushing for answers
To the questions in you
Can you discover
What I’m saying’s true
Will I drop my head
And cry out the eyes
Will I open my mouth
And swallow my price
Have you ever tried?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
But, I confess…
I’m nervous
I’m serious…
Sorry if I appear delirious
But, I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through
Get between us?
Let’s careen us
Set our sails
Not off the rails
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through

LYRICS
Glad to say we’re under way
Yesterday into today
Got my life to live
And my heart to give
The path to success
Cleared for all of us
(… is clear, no fear, is near… for all of us)

Here today gone tomorrow
Save the time from wallow and sorrow
Got my life to live
And my heart to give
The path to success
Cleared for all of us
(… is clear, no fear, is near… for all of us)

Passed the past moving fast
Present the present in our grasp
Got my life to live
And my heart to give
The path to success
Cleared for all of us
(… is clear, no fear, is near… for all of us)

LYRICS
What shall we do
The morning dew
Is due
To be through
Put to an End
A tragic send

What can we say
The midday sway
Gone away
I heard it said
“Put to bed”
[Instrumental Break]

What did we do
The nighttime view
Obscured blurred
A mar on far
To close to home
Soon left alone

LYRICS
My heart is going to explode
Now, your heart’s my abode
The way you display your posture
I’m sure of a pure future
Through your eyes
I realize
Adapt our hope
Yes, know no nope
I can see within you
There’s a lot we can do
When I listen to what there is to say
I can see the way to the day
Raise our spirits!
Can you hear it?
Raise our spirits!

LYRICS
Crack that whip
And make them go
If you can back it up
With what you know
[sound effects of garbage truck backing up]
The whip is just for show
Dogs and ponies in a a row
Snap the fingers
No one lingers
We’ve got a show to put on
Are you real or just a con
I love a performance from the heart
But, the conceit of deceit
I’ll have no part
Meeting the devil at the crossroads
All the souls exposed
Signed and sealed with your blood
Dust to dust back to mud

LYRICS
What color’s the sky
I mean which color of blue
In the spectrum of blue
The specific hue
The depth and breadth
Of sky blue

Red sky in morning
Sailors take warning
Red sky at night
Sailors delight

What color’s the sky
I mean which color of blue
In the spectrum of blue
The specific hue
The depth and breadth
Of sky blue
As a matter of fact
At night it’s all black
Except for pin pricks of light
Full moon brightens the nigh
Stars and mars
See mercury
Venus
Over us

LYRICS
The summertime is flying by
Can’t reason when. Can’t reason why
Seems like we all did just begin
Sure hope to live to see it again

I don’t know what I’m suppose to say
Still thought it was the month of May
Seems like we all did just begin
Sure hope to live to see it again

I just woke up to see the time
Now, hear me cray and hear me whine
Seems like we all did just begin
Sure hope to live to see it again

The summertime has wound on down
Sure hope to see you next time ’round
Seems like we all did just begin
Sure hope to live to see it again

LYRICS
Yeah, the top dog hopped upon his spot
No, his name’s not spot
It’s not
It’s knot
Top dog
He’s the top dog
Jumped upon my bed
On top
Decides to lay his head
… on… my bed
On top
Now, he’s the top dog
I’m the man cog
He’s the top dog
Knot tied tight
Knot tied right
Not naughty
Not knot
Good dog?
Great dog.
Top dog
He’s a great dog
Rate dog: top dog

Find your own bit of water
And mosey down
What in life really matters
When you get down….

Do we know what matters

When you get down….
