bookmark_borderFor the Birds (Sweet, Sweet Harmony)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Don’t count your chickens
Before they hatch
They said
What if they’re born dead?
While I’m having them scrambled
Is what’s going through my head
The everyday irony
That is presented to me
Choose agony
Or sweet, sweet harmony

Bird in hand
Is worth two in the bush
They said
What if they’re not for dead?
While I’m setting them free
Is what occurs to me
The everyday irony
That is presented to me
Choose agony
Or sweet, sweet harmony

Chords: Bb G / G F Bb G; 126 BPM

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Over the top
Under the neath
Showing the teeth
Smile! Why not?
When you put on a happy face
You tend to light up the place

Over under
In between
Why not ponder
Crackin’ up the scene
When you put on a happy face
You tend to light up the place

Above beyond
Beyond above
Become the dawn
Shine on the love
When you put on a happy face
You tend to light up the place

LYRICS
Sorry…
Didn’t mean to take you by surprise
Didn’t realize you were on the other side
Not clear where I should go from here
I’m in a state of shock
Probably best to take stock
Resolve
Dissolve
Can from cannot
Resolve
Will not done till
Free that will, baby
Don’t say maybe
Free that will, man
You know you can
Free that will

Sorry…
Didn’t mean to startle you
As did you to me, too
Don’t know what to do now
It’s new not to know
Wish I knew
I’m in shock
Probably best to take stock
Resolve
Dissolve
Can from cannot
Resolve
Will not done till
Free that will, baby
Don’t say maybe
Free that will, man
You know you can
Not done till
Free that will

bookmark_borderThe Meaning of Life

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What’s the meaning of our life
It’s much to short to tell
Find the answer on the other side
Might do just as well
… so long as it’s not hell

What’s the purpose of goodwill
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
To let some empathy instill
Might do us all well
… might keep me out of that hell

What good is peace on Earth
If no one’s here to tell
Extinction rules out their birth
To late to say, “Oh, well.”
… likely be living in that hell

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Carbon monoxide
Seeping inside
Nowhere to hide
In my hide reside
How will I know if I’m in peril
Number of crow in the murder
How far to go… over the barrel
Spend your life as a cat herder

Did you leave the gas on
With no pilot light?
Could you believe no put-on
We just might ignite
How will I know if I’m in peril
Number of crow in the murder
How far to go… over the barrel
Spend your life as a cat herder

On an island
The tide keeps rising
Start to wonder…
Going under?
How will I know if I’m in peril
Number of crow in the murder
How far to go… over the barrel
Spend your life as a cat herder

bookmark_borderQuick Draw

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Right in the middle
In the thick of it
No fiddle-diddle
He was might quick
Fastest draw
I ever saw
Don’t think
I could’ve blinked
On the brink

Not much more than a blur
No more
Never saw anything like it
Before
Fastest draw
I ever saw
Don’t think
I could’ve blinked
On the brink

Up to The End
To the very last
Never did bend
Re-defined fast
Fastest draw
I ever saw
Don’t think
I could’ve blinked
On the brink\

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In a tangle
How to handle
In a bind
How to wrangle
In a tangle
Lost his mind
They said
He lost his head
They say
He’s not O.K.
In fact, you might
Say, “He’s not quite right.”

Wants to wrestle
Hard to handle
Bats belfried
Blow the whistle
Stop the scandal
Set them free
They said
He lost his head
They say
He’s not O.K.
In fact, you might
Say, “He’s not quite right.”

Can’t applaud an act of God
As the loon
Where will you be next time you see
Howling moon
They said
He lost his head
They say
He’s not O.K.
In fact, you might
Say, “He’s not quite right.”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
No water down below
The water that’s above
So far refused to flow
Please send my love
No doubt a drought within
But once the rains begin
You’ll be a deluge refugee

No water down below
The water that’s above
So far refused to flow
Please send my love
With the turn of the tide
Among water reside
We’ll be the deluge refugee

No water down below
The water that’s above
So far refused to flow
Please send my love
What once was parched and dry
Now reigned by the sky
See we are deluge refugees

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you’re seeing only shades of gray
Maybe today is your day?
Here’s a hue for you
The least I can do
Painting with a palette that runs deep
Primarily primaries start to seep
The colors flow
Come to know

Know it’s not all black and white
Maybe today set it right?
Here’s a hue for you
The least you can do
Painting with a palette that runs deep
Primarily primaries start to seep
The colors flow
Come to know

If your fray day turns black
Maybe “we” have what “you” lack
Here’s a hue for you
The least we can do
Painting with a palette that runs deep
Primarily primaries start to seep
The colors flow
Come to know

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
May you day run strong
Your shadow grow long
May your thoughts run deep
Your heart never sleep
Be the light
In the darkest night
Out of sight!

May your days run long
Your heart beat strong
Pleasant thoughts to keep
Dream harvest to reap
Be the light
In the darkest night
Out of sight!

May your days run on
Above under the sun
Thoughts that rhyme with beats
Living life complete
Be the light
In the darkest night
Out of sight!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Took the path the crow flies
By then I knew
Path of least resistance
Realized in an instant
Appreciate the ride
Alleviate the inside

Out of the cuckoo’s nest flew
Could’ve been me… could’ve been you
Path of most resilience
Realized in an instant
Appreciate the ride
Alleviate the inside

Up in smoke through the flue
Ashes to ashes… dust, too
Circle of life comes due
To the heart be true
Appreciate the ride
Alleviate the inside

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Press pause ’til you can catch up
Fast forward to get in-time
Out of step
Out of mind
Wind blows in one hear
Out the other hear
Toys in the attic gather to cheer
Hip hip hooray! You’re here
Let’s hear you say “Oh, dear!”

Wait until the big buildup
Her climax is at it’s prime
Tongue has leapt in a bind
Wind blows in one hear
Out the other hear
Toys in the attic gather to cheer
Hip hip hooray! You’re here
Let’s hear you say “Oh, dear!”

Now your energy is all pent-up
To waste it all would be a crime
Inner depth of your mind
Wind blows in one hear
Out the other hear
Toys in the attic gather to cheer
Hip hip hooray! You’re here
Let’s hear you say “Oh, dear!”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Chasing after your dreams
Made as easy as it seems
An easy scene for you
To make your dreams come true
Take your black and white
Just add some color
All will be alright
Left with just enough wonder
Wonder of surprise
Wonder to realize

Chasing after your dreams
Made as easy as it seems
An easy scene for you
To make your dreams come true
Take paint by numbers
Between lines color
To life from slumber
Left with just enough wonder
Wonder of surprise
Wonder to realize

Chasing after your dreams
Made as easy as it seems
An easy scene for you
To make your dreams come true
Take a drab outlook
Add attitude color
Author of your book
Will a sequel follow?
Wonder of surprise
Wonder to realize

LYRICS
When you come can and go
Do you even know?
No more
Out the door
You know…
Out the window?

When you say goodbye
If so good, then why?
No more
Out the door
You know…
Out the window?

When you say hello
But you’ve got to go
No more
Out the door
You know…
Out the window?
