bookmark_borderTo Feel Fine

LYRICS
It takes grapes to make wine
While both depend on sunshine
It takes health for peace of mind
I need both to feel fine
Thankful that my fingers work
And the lyrics are a perk

It takes eight to make nine
While both depend on a sign
Takes self-wealth for peace of mind
I need both to feel fine
Thankful that my fingers work
And the lyrics are a perk

It takes two to fight
While neither one is right
Takes peace of mind for insight
I need both to see the light
Thankful that my fingers work
And the lyrics are a perk

bookmark_borderGood Day

LYRICS
You, I’m wishing for you
When the skies are blue
May the sun shine down on you
And, if you say
My, it’s too dry
May rain be on the way
Good day
Good day

May the wind be at your back
May the wind fill your sail
Hope you never lack
Hope you never fail
Not lack or fail
And if you say
“Will my dreams come true?”
I’m wishing for you:
On the way
Good day
Good day
See you tomorrow
With no sorrow

LYRICS
In the thick of things
Synapse sings
Synchronicity brings
Heartbeat pings

For the love of man
Try to understand
The time is at hand

In the thick of things
Alarm bell rings
Serendipity brings
Heartbeat pings
(chorus)

Emotions are thick
Time to think quick
Choice is of the pick
Make the logic stick
(chorus)

LYRICS
Oh, please….
You know I ain’t lyin’
When the $hit hits the fan
It’s going to be flyin’
Well, here’s the scoop
Have you ever seen a chimpanzee
Flingin’ his poop
(Or are you out of the loop?)
Please no Limburger cheese
You know the smell of hell
My thesis on feces:
Stinkin’ to high heaven
Yeah, I’m thinkin’ stinkin’
To high heaven
(The stench is unforgivin’)

LYRICS
Brother from another mother
In one ear
And right out the other
Discover
How to be a lover
The rarity of the calamity
On the rich, take pity
Oh the irony of reality

Set free or together smother
In one ear and right out the other
Discover
How to be a lover

So if I were to have my druther
In both ears do/due right by an other
Discover
How to be a lover

LYRICS
How did they throw me such a curve ball
How did I end up behind the 8-ball
Of all the gall
I’ve got to roll
When stuck between a hard place and a rock
Roll!
“Oh, #uck,” you scream
The rat race cleaned my clock
Roll!
Role of soul — roll!
End over end to begin
Can’t be fickle
’bout a perfect circle
Can’t resist
A subtle twist

LYRICS
Have I been here before
Would I come back for more
The memory escapes me
Carnage and gore
Who wants more war?
A rational from hell
Men striking their pose
Theater of war game
Men spreading their woes
Humane’s not the same
… gone insane
Mass hallucination nation

LYRICS
Seen it before
Hard to ignore
Right next door
Schism of the “ism”
Racism
Through a prism
You know
… the colors of the rainbow
Fascism
The Right do wrong
… same old song
Activism through altruism
Bridge the schism
Futurism in mesmerism
Lyricism of humanism
Bridge the schism
Criticism, dogmatism, egotism, hedonism, narcissism, pessimism
Gives way to optimism
Giving way to optimism
Opt in to optimism
Thick in optimistic

bookmark_borderIll-luminary

LYRICS
Floating and flaming
Your ill-luminary
Lit up the monkey house
Pointing and blaming
Our coal mine’s canary
With the brain of a mouse
(Lit up the monkey house)

Never cease to amaze
Set the apes ablaze
Burned down the monkey house
(Lit up the monkey house)
Burned down the monkey house
(Lit up the monkey house)

“I’m sorry” comes too late
For prone, glowin’ primate
Set ablaze the caged
In the monkey house
Burned down the monkey house
(Lit up the monkey house)
Floating and flaming
Your ill-luminary
Lit up the monkey house
Burned down the monkey house

ABOUT THE SONG
Inspired by the tragic event: “Krefeld Zoo primates killed as sanctuary burns down”
A mother and her two daughters have turned themselves in to police over a blaze that killed dozens of animals at a zoo in Germany on New Year’s Eve, police confirmed on Thursday. The three women are being investigated for setting off flying lanterns, which are banned. The enclosure housed gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees and marmosets.

LYRICS
The curse of the hearse:
They said
Feed your head
’til you’re dead
There’s imagination in hibernation
The logical rational — toll the bell
There’s still life in these bones
’til there’s still-life in these bones
Angels coming to take me home
Eventually for me
The curse of the hearse
Until then
One more verse
Or take it long
One more song!
One more long song

LYRICS
Just when I thought
Things were getting weird
Out walks a lady
Sporting a beard
All our features re-arrange(d)
Getting strange
Range into strange

Just when I thought
Things were #ucked-up
In walks a man
Dressed as a duck
All our features re-arrange(d)
Getting strange
Range into strange

Just when I thought
Things were on the mend
In walks I…
Not knowing why
All our features re-arrange(d)
Getting strange
Range into strange

Some sort of anomaly… really?
Living proof
Poke and prod
It’s no spoof
Living proof

Why say nay
If asked a player?

LYRICS
In the after birth
I found my worth
IN the after birth
All can’t be me…
Logically
I mean…
Here I am
In all my glory
But, after all
I couldn’t be me
Without you — all
My individuality
Depends on we
Lightning up our are
Lightening up our are

LYRICS
The back and forth
The tit for tat
Who deserves
It on your nerves?
For what it’s worth
The this and that
Who deserves
It getting on your nerves?
No matter how you fear it
Summon up your spirit
Locked and loaded
Now dole out soul
Vision exploded
May my spirit hear it
Dole out my soul
