LYRICS
There’s one thing in life that’s for sure
You’ve got to love love…
And all that’s in store
Never know when you’ll hit the floor
Soon you’ll be knocking on heaven’s door
Just like that
Right back for more

Dear God,
I pray you recycle
Don’t want to be Gabriel or Michael
A highfalutin angel or laudy daudy
I want flesh and bone… give me a body
Same as before
Just like that
Right back for more

Appreciate what I’ve been given
But, I can’t get enough of this living
Never bored to death nor to die for
Not “The End”… to be continued… another door
Just like that
Right back for more
Just like that….

bookmark_borderSwim / Don’t Forget to Breath

LYRICS
Oh, I see… the irony
In being me
Rationality
Surrounded by humanity
Somethings you just can’t “let be”
Forging reality into destiny
You’ve got me in stitches
Too big for your britches
Of course, if thrown from the horse
Plow on until I hit the stride
… of ride… or better yet
You know… into the flow
Then, swim
Being him
Out of “out on a limb”
Swim
With the current
In the present
Current

LYRICS
Won’t you
Come to
Consciousness becomes you
Won’t you
Come to
Open eyes
Take a view

I am; therefore, I think
Life passes in a blink
Take time to take all your time
I think; therefore, I’m

Wake up, Sunshine!
Everything will be fine
Wake up, Stardust!
Home to heaven… or bust

Hey, there! Daydream
Through reality’s seam
Hey, now! Dazed scene
Life’s to be seen

LYRICS
Any cheer is good cheer
A New Year
365 around the sun
Another year done

You choose

You lose

Hold dear

Happy New Year

Any cheer is good cheer
A New Year
Night and daylight
Are looking bright

LYRICS
Not being a jerk
Takes a lot of work
Where did I go?
I don’t know
To “to and fro”
In the world’s show
At any age
Life is a stage

Some sort of lark
Out of the dark
Where will I go
Time to know
To “to and fro”
In the world’s show
At any age
Life is a stage

Leaving my mark
Be bold or stark?
The more I go
… the more I know

Get on with the show

LYRICS
Look! Up in the sky
Is that a bird?
How absurd
A bird can fly
And that UFO… you know… is falling…
Falling down
On to the ground

Our standard of living
With no misgiving
Our morals and ethics
For fun and for kicks
Yeah, that U Fn’ O… you know… is falling…
Falling down
On to the ground

You look quite perplexed
I dunno maybe next
Your jaw will drop in awe
Head and neck will hit the deck
Yeah, that U Fn’ O… you know… is falling…
Falling down
On to the ground

LYRICS
It’s not if we can
It’s if, if we will
How long can we wait
Prolong hesitate

It’s not if we could
It’s if, if we would
How long can we wait
Prolong hesitate

Not up for debate
No. We can not wait
How long can we wait
Prolong hesitate

The time is at hand
Think we’ll understand
So long to the wait
Post procrastinate

LYRICS
Damned if you do
Damned if you don’t
Oh how the heart aches
When the damn breaks

Quick! Stick your finger in the hole
The goal: stop it taking it’s toll
Quick! Fill more sandbags
The task master barks and nags

The water is starting to rise
It comes as no surprise
Pretty soon… up to our ears
Drowning in our worst fears

Will we realize it won’t subside
Guess we’re along for the ride
To the heights of the highest tide
So much for hurting pride

LYRICS
When that feeling comes over me
Oh, Lord, makes me want to plead
Oh, please! Oh, no, oh, please
Don’t let him bleed
Beyond absolute
That baby is too damn cute
Under advise
Would be be shame to sacrifice
And on and on and on it goes
Personal demons are the greatest foes
Forgive the sinner from all his woes
So why oh why must he die?
If we all promise not to sin
We pray he can go on living
And on and on and on it goes
Personal demons are the greatest foes
Forgive the sinner from all his woes

LYRICS
Well, now that you went ahead and put it like that
I’ve to a better idea of where we’re at
I guess you could say
In a different way
The rest of our days
Are in play

The longer we keep on keeping on blowing smoke
The sooner we’re all likely to choke
I guess you could say
In a different way
The rest of our days
Are in play

The longer we keep on keeping on building up steam
Off the tracks faster we will deem
I guess you could say
In a different way
The rest of our days
Are in play

bookmark_borderDelicious Ludicrous

LYRICS
As to the taste of the highfalutin
And fancy
As to the waste… the flatulence
Of the lazy
If you’re head is up your ask
It’s kind-of hard to bask
In the limelight (Right?)
The envy is not green
If you know what I mean?
Jealousy of decrepitcy
Is beyond silly
Delicious ludicrous
Salacious hypocrites
And dimwits

bookmark_borderMonkey Around

LYRICS
Who wants to be the agitator
Of a wasp or an alligator
Not long to ponder
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest

Watch the silly monkey
Mouse around with the angry
What a silly monkey
To horse around…
With tolerancey

Who wants to be the one to rile
A viper or a crocodile
No time to wonder
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
(chorus)

Who wants to be the one to say “I am!”
When asked the task
“Who’ll put their head in the mouth of this lion?”
No time to squander
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
(chorus)

[Poke the bear… if you dare]

LYRICS
I hear you’re coming into a lot of dough
So, I just thought you should know
Fortune and fame
Make you lame
Fortune and fame
Going to drive you insane
And, literally lame
Everybody wants to be your friend
So long as you want to spend
But, when the well runs dry
So long (bye-bye)
Crocodile tears they cry
Everybody wants a piece of your peace
Knocking on your door
Always wanting more
Never cease
Fortune and fame
Make you lame
Fortune and fame
Going to drive you insane
And, literally lame

LYRICS
Dropped the sway?
Walk this way
Pick up the peaces
Life’s leases
Needle and thread
Sow your bed
Lament on the spent
Just to the extent
Of once
Else, dunce
Same mistake twice
A half-baked device
(Call that a vice?)
Dropped puzzle pieces
The awe of jigsaw
Pick up the peaces
The zen back when
Make it happen again
If you could see
What I saw
See saw
Dropped puzzle pieces
Pick up the peaces
Life’s leases

LYRICS
We turn our back and face away
Turn from the sun
The day is done
Earth turns around… another day
Then darkness falls over us all
The ground lays low
The trees stand tall
We come to know
The shadows
In the dark of night
Start to lose our sight
Reminding us
Be kind to the blind
Please show us the light
