Posted on by admin

LYRICS
So old?
Though I’ve been around the block
I can still clean clock
How old?
You’re as old as you feel
That’s the real deal
For real… for real

So cold?
Maybe it’s something to do
With being around you
How cold?
You’re as warm as you feel
That’s the real deal
For real… for real

So told
Is it any surprise
The old grow wise
How old?
You’re as old as you feel
That’s the real deal
For real… for real

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If life does concern
You live and you learn
How to discern
* Whether you’re dead
Time to feed my head:
[A A# B]

* What’s been said

* What you dread

* … how to butter your bread

* Where a horse is led
(Do you think you can make her drink?)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Some of us won’t back down
When we’re out on a ledge
Some of us will fall down
Going over the edge
And it’s hard to hide
Swallowing your pride
Why not bail the ride
Is it time to turn the tide?

Some of us take the risk
Other’s are wanting to hedge
Risk of stop and frisk
Pushing of the edge
(chorus)

Some of us pay no mind
Other’s way in to judge
Discern and we may find
Going over the edge
(chorus)

LYRICS
Turn it upside down
Turn it inside out
Twist and turn it ’round
Somewhere logic’s found
What’s this life about?
Get up in the morning
Go to sleep at night
Death comes without warning
Mourning is life’s blight
So while I’m able
Take my seat at the table
You can rest assured
My voice will be heard

Turn it inside out
Turn it upside down
Twist and turn it ’round
Somewhere logic’s found
What’s this life about?
Laboring all day long
Hope to see the light
Want to feel alright
Whistle a happy song
So while I’m able
Take my seat at the table
You can rest assured
My voice will be heard

bookmark_borderFear Itself

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
There is nothing to fear
Why there’s nothing to fear here
Isn’t clear
Even stranger
Is the clear and present danger
Has no manager
Just a fool with a deadly tool
Far out-of-control
As a matter of fact
Off the tracks
Full body roll

After all the virus among us
Has gone viral
For real
In the thickness of the sickness
The President hellbent
Mentally absent
(chorus)

Inspired by our mindless President and the coronavirus.

bookmark_borderCalling You Home

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Despite all my trying
There’s still people dying
Due to “unkind closed mind”
The science denying
Leaves me crying
Has freedom left us dumb… numb?
Is your God calling you home
Crawl into your catacomb
Place pennies on your eyes
Watch “the unwise dies”
Ignorance harbors no borders

Despite my explaining
They’re still complaining
Shut-in and sufferin’
Still fail to see
The reality
Has freedom left us dumb… and numb?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The bright lights eternal allure
Edge of my seat wanting more
Leave them there
Overtly aware
They’re wanting more
“What’s in store?”
Stomp your feet
Clap your hands
Sing along, “One more song!”

Light up nights at my core
Edge of the seat wanting more

Souls take flight
Audience roar
Stand on my seat
Wanting more

Out of sight
Last encore
Show so sweet
Wanting more

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The “ism” of hypocricy
Is the ego in our democracy
Let the heart take part
To negate the hate
Radiate
The love of light
(Glowing in the twilight of insight)
Out of the shadows
Into the meadows
Of the mind
Inherent of the kind that’s kind
Comes to mind
… I find

bookmark_borderAnd a Quarter Days

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Three sixty-five and a quarter days
Hard to split in so many ways
Yet I find it hard to see
Why add one after three?

So, I have to hesitate
When I say February has twenty-eight
Still I find it hard to see
Why add one after three?

I get four quarters make one
Though I’m still left wonderin’
Where the date came to mind
February twenty-nine?
[You know… why not January 0…
… or bonus Christmas on December 32, too?]

Posted on by admin

Twisted… tormented
… has love relented
In the silence of reverence
A reference to existence
Do I take a stance?
(Do I take the chance?)
And then again
I begin
… from slight of seeing the light

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Watching the world go up in flames
In your rearview mirror
Oh the shame of who’s to blame
The major and minor

The clocks tick their same ole’ song
The clocks tock their same ole’ dance
One wonders exactly how long
’til we get a second chance

Wanting in our retrospect
To have been the change
Jaw dropping from “what the heck?!?!”
Sure turned out so strange
(chorus)

Moving on to a new habitat
Can you imagine that?
Hope there’s plenty of air to share
Sure hope we get there
(chorus)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Ohhh where’s my center of gravity
Oh the levity
So if in brevity
My relativity
[I’m… I am… thinking I am… therefore for… I am]
Relative to the mass of my ass
Speculative if the matter matters
The pull you have on me
Gravity
I see… through… transparently… it may be… maybe
Through to you
I see… through… transparent… apparent… it may be… maybe
Through to you
Ohhh where’s my center of gravity?

bookmark_borderReturn to the Cream

Posted on by admin

Another day older
A lot more perplexed
You are no bolder
With muscle flexed
Since when did the scene
Turn so mean
Return to the cream
Resurge the dream
Since when did the scene
Turn so mean
Return to the cream
Rising uprising

Another day older
Yet no more wise
Heart growing colder
Still I’m surprised
(chorus)

Another cold shoulder
Shivers my spine
Should I hold her
She’ll feel fine
(chorus)
