LYRICS
Surprise gave rise
To the unexpected
Surprise gave rise
To myths erected
Learned my lesson well
You never can tell
Straight up to heaven
Or right out of hell

Surprise gave rise
To startled
Surprise gave rise
To heart-held
If you don’t choose
More likely to lose
Gateway to heaven
Of hangman’s noose

Surprise gave rise
To appreciated
Surprise gave rise
To alleviated
Come to realize
Our life’s prize
A birth on Earth
Is given heaven

LYRICS
Trying to choose the best words
To describe the flight of birds
It may take a 1,000 words
To ensure the best picture
Flying… soaring… taking wing
Hovering over everything

What’s the best way to say
Unbelievable
Am I capable… am I able
To describe an upside glide

Trying to find a way to say
How it is I feel for you
It may take a 1,000 days
For me to count all the ways

Feel amateur at the prose
Describing how love arouse
It may take a 1,000 words

LYRICS
What’s all the buzz
About the fuzz
This heat is beat
Breeding defeat
Why don’t you just calm down
And take a look around
Stop! Look! Listen…
Spirits kissin’

What if the pig
Learned how to jig
‘stead of dig
Jig
Why don’t you just calm down
And take a look around
Stop! Look! Listen…
Spirits kissin’

Scale back blue
To just a few
… just a few
Of the good ones will do
Why don’t you just calm down
And take a look around
Stop! Look! Listen…
Spirits kissin’

LYRICS
Thought about it once
Thought about it twice
The thought might be nice
To begin to think again
Thought there was a chance
They’d let us dance
It really is no sin… to begin
When the band begins to play
It doesn’t matter what they say
When the band begins to play
We’re going to dance anyway
Hey! What are you doing
… begin to think again
Now that I’ve thought it through
I know just what to do
Grab your hand and dance with you

LYRICS
The ice caps are melting
Nor’easterner’s whipping
While methane is leaking
Mother Nature’s weeping
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Look deep in the core
CO2… so much more
Man’s destruction of the land
I just don’t understand
Watching species die
You know the reason why

I suspect all the insects
Will out live the vertebrae

Wanted! The global warming suspects
Will man ever see the day
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Does anybody care
About saving the tree
What about the world we share
Or is it only me?
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Deep In The Core.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG

Put out the fire

Situation dire
Fanning the flames
Higher and higher
Political games
Still transpire
We’ll all retire
Fire, fire, fire

Dowsing the flames
Treat the heat
Out shames and blames
Devil’s defeat

No need to hide
Come on outside
Please give a taste
of showing your face
We’d love you to grace
Don’t let it go to waste
Will you come out and play
On such a beautiful day
We’ll show you the way
To a sunny foray
Wrestle with the sol
Wrestle with the sole soul
Set the control for heart of the sol/soul
Finding souls swimming in fish bowls

LYRICS
Better sit down
The wheels go round
Even if you can stand no longer
There’s the support of the stronger
As the wheels go round and round
May freedom found abound
As the wheels go round and round
Freedom ringing is the sound
Set yourself free
Upward mobility
The world you’ll see
Semi-dependently
We all need somebody
For an everybody
WE all are somebody
Part of everybody
Together we’ll weather
Going round and round
No matter “whatever”
With a smile it’s found
Riding a merry-go-round
Going round and round
As the wheels go round and round
May freedom found abound
As the wheels go round and round
Freedom ringing is the sound

Hey! How do you say “covfefe” (co-fev-ay)
A new pet peeve
How to convey…
How to relay…
Covfefe (cough-eve)
A hex perplex
Spewing diarrhea
Doi and dah
Outta the diaper
Into big boy pants
To die for

He’s killing me

Mistake repeats
Verbal defeats
Head of meats
It’ll be said, “meathead”

LYRICS
Authorized personnel only
Wonder if they’re lonely?
What’s beyond the door
Are there any more?

Can it be realized
How to be authorized
Is there a center
For “do not enter”

What makes one special
Features that are facial
Does it all start
Examining the heart

Authorized personnel only
Must be simply lovely
What’s behind the door
Can any human endure?

LYRICS
We’ve got a war on cancer
The only problem…
The cancer’s in her
The war on the goblin
The issue at heart
Hard to tell them apart

Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

We’ve got a war on terror
The only error
The terror of terror
I just don’t know
Can we wage war on a shadow
Here we go
Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

We’ve got a war on war
We just can’t wait
Fighting hate with hate
The real debate
Can you hate hate?
Ahhh… it’s too late
Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

LYRICS
I read, “The late Alfred Doe”
Late? He’s really dead, though
Beyond tired…
Expired
Beyond past due
He’s through
I’ve got the future past life blues
When I die
Hope you stop by
n’ say “hi” and “good-bye”
When I die
Hope you stop by
Or at least try

I heard, “The late Jane Doe”
Late? At her rate…
Died in the fast lane, though
All horizontal
Open casket… full frontal
I’ve got the future past life blues

When they say I’m dead and gone
Sing that “Jolly Good Fellow” song
Any time of me you think
Raise your glass and toast a drink
I’ve got the future past life blues

LYRICS
Both sides of the head
Eyes
Both sides of the head
I’s
Do you see me
Beyond hypocrisy
Past the haze phase
A field of clarity
The future ways / weighs?
No need for charity
Present day daze
Past the vanity
Where the vast past
Fades to amaze
Can you see me
Bringing on infinity
No dividing by zero?
Know dividing by zero

ABOUT THE SONG
“Division by zero is undefined. Since any number multiplied by zero is zero, the expression 0/0 also has no defined value; when it is the form of a limit, it is an indeterminate form.”
