LYRICS
Wonderful
As a waterfall
You instill
The will to fulfill
Beautiful
As foliage in fall
Faithful
Until Spring renewal
Comfort and compassion
Are the seasons’ fashion

Special
As a fresh snowfall
Windowsill
A view to a thrill
Pockets full
Of a miracle
Empirical
Turned lyrical
Comfort and compassion
Are the seasons’ fashion

Whimsical
Fill the youthful
Delightful
Add shine to dull
Ample
For all to sample
Example
Of grandeur
Comfort and compassion
Are the seasons’ fashion

Wonderful.mp3

Whose? .mp3

LYRICS
Man, that big ole government is sure turning mean
Ghost in the machine
Ghost in the machine
Yeah, it sure does undermine all that is mine
Sublime swine
Sublime swine

Where’s the responsibility
Of your representing me
Bring on accountability
In defining what is free

Are you trying to tell me it’s the government of the people
Shepherds on sheep hill
Shepherds on sheep hill
Are you trying to tell me that all of this time
The fault is mine?
The fault is mine

LYRICS
Before you go off half-cocked
Do you know the door is unlocked
And did you know
You can open the window
You’re free to go

Why live in a rage
After you construct your cage
And did you know
You can let your mind grow
You’re free to go

Come on! Let yourself out
Find out what the world’s about
Come on! Let yourself out
Take the highroad route
Why live in doubt?

Buried Treasure.mp3

LYRICS
Can you tell me how you feel
For real
Is your heart an abode
Like-geode
Ugly and hard on the outside
But on the inside… wonder and beauty reside

Can you tell me what’s for real
The deal
Is truth in secret code
Stealth mode
Or is the truth obvious
To each and everyone… of us

How many layers to peel
Conceal
Then will it all erode
Forebode
What’s the substance of your soul
Glass half empty… or half full

Style: Protest Folk Rock

Is your love a buried treasure?

Folsom Prison Blues MP3

Coversong originally made famous by Johnny Cash
Written by Johnny Cash

Folsom Prison Blues.mp3

E             
I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend
                                                E7  
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
    A                                              E    
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on
         B7                                    E
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone

E
When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,
                                           E7
always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'
      A                                       E
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
       B7                                           E
when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry
[Guitar solo/interlude]

I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
But I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me

Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away

Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards

Let Go.mp3

LYRICS
Your hands are bleeding
’cause you’re not conceding
You know…
Why don’t you just let go
Get a hold on your heart
Let the hate depart
Dissipate the hate
Why don’t you just let go?
Participate dissipate hate
You know…
Why don’t you just let go?
Get a grip on emotions
Try flowing like the oceans
Ride the wave
Why don’t you just let go?
Be brave… behave… surf the wave
With the flow
Why don’t you just let go?

LYRICS
Look! He did it again
While wearing a grin
Did it again
Would you look at him
Well, take a look
The dirty crook
Stole my mother’s pocketbook
Would you take a look
The bones they rattled
The bones they shook
Their brains are scattered
Just take a look
Do you think it’s a sin
The he’s takin’, takin’, takin’ again
The margin for error is too slim
Would you get a load of him
Look! He did it again

LYRICS
When you say, “God damn!
Who do you think I am?”
Going to pop a vain
God’s name in vain?

Throw a hissy fit
n’ rant n’ rage a bit
Still attached to mommy’s….?
Better get over it

Self-imposed wing clip
Your wig is in a flip
Lie, cheat, steal n’ gyp
Ya better get a grip

Are you tired of standing alone
Maybe it’s time to bring it on home

LYRICS
This is what you call
Hard ball
After all
You call your dutty your duty
Misrepresenting a fable
What you despise is your demise

This is what you call
Hard ball
After all
Get another plate
Of heaping, grubbing hate
No debate
When you’re irate

This is what you call
Hard ball
After all
West side of Church and Gay
Needs to find the way
Come to church today
For your getaway get away

This is what you call
Hard ball
After all
Scarecrow sings, “If I only had a brain”
Lord, have mercy… madman’s insane
Slippery slope… just loss in your gain
Yo, Boss, just loss in your gain
Again

LYRICS
What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America
No longer free to be brave
Is this any way to behave
Am I a public servant’s slave?

What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America
This town spent the 1st Amendment
Twisted the Constitution till bent
Now it doesn’t read the way it’s meant

What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America
They say you can’t say
They say you can’t play
Not any time… night or day

What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America
Reciting the Pledge is a crime
No Star Spangled Banner at any time
For you, County Seat, I’m cryin’
Over all of your cheatin’ and lyin’

What’s up with this, America?
Dumbfounding it is, America

LYRICS
Is that a painted body
Or clothes as thin as skin
Are you being naughty
Or living life with a grin?
I guess you all call this a win-win
Come on everybody
Let’s let our friends jump in

The way you move
The way you bend
Into the groove
Message we send
Exit exist
Eternal mortality bliss
Space-time continuum such as this
I’m in a space-time continuum
Immortal bliss

They call me a dreamer
It’s the best I can do
They call me a dreamer
Nuttin’ better to do
They call me the dreamer
With the follow-through
Look out, mama, I’m coming for you

American dreamer
In this day and age?
American dreamer
Future history page
American dreamer
Unlock your cage
Lookout, mama on the rampage

Come be a dreamer
For the best, if you do
Come be a dreamer
Nuttin’ better to do
Come be a dreamer
Grey sky turned blue
Come on, mama, we’ll make it come true
Come on, mama
You know you want to
Woohoo!

I’ve got to hand it to you
The things that you do
You take the driver
And, give it a screw
Hatchet or ratchet
Whack, whack, whack
And, give it a crank
Slammer of a hammer
Bam, bam, bam
Give ‘er a slam
You’re a real tool
Playing the part of the fool

LYRICS
The water boils
The noodle bends
Eroded soils (souls)
Devoted ends
The water boils
The ice melts
Human toils
Hands dealt
Ethics get the boot
Emperor’s new suit
Forbidden fruit
The Ends institute

The fire flame
Moth will tame
Moth inflame
God darn shame (in name)
Snake in the grass
Better cover your a$$
Because we’re fair game
Gotta give birth on Earth in pain
In vain
Labor of love
Heaven above
Labor of love

LYRICS
I am finding
Sun is shinning
On the other side of cloud cover
Blu sky lover
We’ll recover
On the other side of cast over
Star of the day — the brightest light
Millions of stars take over the night

I am finding
Man’s unwinding
Ashes to ashes… dust to dust
Greed and lust
Justice must
On the road to balance or bust
Rises in the East, sets in the West
Then, at night North Star works best

On my way
To the day
When all’s fair on the field of play
And, I’m finding
Sun is shinning
On the other side of the clouds raining
