LYRICS
It’s getting cold
Seasons unfold
That time of year
Solstice draws near
The nip in the air
Takes memories there
With presents under the tree
We’re singing merrily
How blessed are we
All Men

Fresh snowfall scent
More memories lent
Sound of a bell
Wishing all well
The nip in the air
Our memories share
With presents under the tree
We’re singing merrily
How blessed are we
All Men

bookmark_borderCounting The Days

LYRICS
Counting the days
Until we part ways
Separate paths begin
Until we meet again
On our ride to the other side
Lucky #7
When we’re in heaven
Knock on wood…
Evil or good?

Counting the ways
IN which one strays
Perhaps today’s the day
In which to stray from stray
On our ride to the other side
Lucky #7
When we’re in heaven
Knock on wood…
Evil or good?

bookmark_borderWays Weigh (Tango Fiasco)

LYRICS
Cut to the quick
Which weighs more
A pound of feather or a pound of brick
Think quick
Which ways more
A pound of flesh or hung neck crick
Cut to the quick
Think quick
Weighs on the mind
Ways on the mine
Untangle the tango fiasco
Dance to the beat of a different drum
’til I shake the feeling of being:numb
With the next grasp, clasp
Freedom

bookmark_borderTo Do List

Time I dealt with the ice that melt
Time I see about the rising sea
Time to clear the air I queer
Kiss good-bye ones I hold dear
So much to do
Yet, little time to
So much to do
How ’bout you?

Fix the flow of H2O
Clean it of the “I don’t know?”
Bring back bees to help things grow
Kiss Ma Nature… she’s not my foe
So much to do
Yet, little time to
So much to do
How ’bout you?

Forego the ozone, leave it alone
Save some time, lessen my crime
Cleanse some grime in my spare time
Hang-up the phone, get in the zone
So much to do
Yet, little time to
So much to do
How ’bout you?

LYRICS
Live it up while alive
Maintain the drive
Come to life while living
Count the #ucks you’re giving
You may only live twice
And if this life’s not nice
Well…
Imagine cooking in hell
Music to the beat
Of turn down the heat
If only… you weren’t burnt
Overdone is yet to have had won
The game of life
Forego the strife
Living life

bookmark_borderTwo-step Vixen

LYRICS
Wearing boots climbing up so high
Nearly pass right by her thigh
The flow to her hair nearly took me there
I need air!
Two-step vixen
What are you fixin’
Tonight
Two-step vixen
Putting the hex on
She’ll bite

Quite by choice
The tone of her voice
Trained bull whisperer
The look in her eye
Will tell you why
All-out full
Works for her
Two-step vixen
What are you fixin’
Tonight
Two-step vixen
Putting the hex on
She’ll bite

Watching her strut
There’s no if, and nor but
Your eyes will fall to the floor
The foreplay
As she walks away
Leaves ya begging for more
Two-step vixen
What are you fixin’
Tonight
Two-step vixen
Putting the hex on
She’ll bite

LYRICS
In the flailing destiny
Is the epitome
Of false reality
For you’ll see
There is no destiny
Only reality

In reality)

We mean: our dream
Turning mind’s-eye-view
Into what is true

LYRICS
We breath in
We breath out
There’s no doubt
In and out
Answer a question,
If you would please
Is being human
A fatal disease?

A heartbeat
Carries blood
From our head
To our feet
Answer a question,
If you would please
Is being human
A fatal disease?

And we learn
We are born
Then we die…
It’s no lie
Answer a question,
If you would please
Is being human
A fatal disease?

This is very interesting

Deflating perpetuating
While elevating
Underneath the myth
Uncover mask and wax
Expose woes
To the light… take flight

LYRICS
Over land and over sea
Understand and see
Over sand, through tree
Understand and see
Freedom is free
It’s bred in you
It’s bred in me
Forget about destiny
An unalienable right
Through the darkest night
Insight hold tight
Gnarl teeth and bit
Haste the taste
No time to waste
We’re free to be free

LYRICS
What do you do when you’re overdue?
Run as fast as you can
What do you do when you’ve got to get through?
Run as fast as you can

We run and we run
With all our might
We run and we run
’til we see the light

What do we do when they #uck-up the view?
Run as fast as you can
What do we do if their aim is true
Run as fast as you can
(chorus)

What do we do to lead the way?
Run as fast as we can
What do we do all night and day?
Run as fast as we can
(chorus)

bookmark_borderThis Is It?

LYRICS
This is it, believe it or not
They say, “you get what you pay…
For.”
though sometimes it’s more —
How much you can endure
This is it. Quit if a bore
Transit to alure
And ensure
“What’s in store”?
Then the admission:
“Well worth the price of admission!”
In excess of a 3-ring-circus
The fairway’s way
Get to know the sideshow
Going down slow….

LYRICS
Knowing I love you
Knowing you love me, too
Gets us through the things we have to do
I love you

Know what I mean
Got to cook and clean
When the spaces in between
Are seen

To fill the spoon and fork
Got to do all kinds of work
Almost more then one can take
… but when we get a break….
