bookmark_borderBegin Drinking Life In

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The way the world is going
Makes you stop and think
I think you have it coming
To have another drink
Begin
Drinking life in

Can’t stop the world
From spinning ’round
Guess best being bold
… being found
Begin
Drinking life in

’cause the way the world is going
Makes me stop and think
I think you have it coming
To have another drink
Begin
Drinking life in

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Out on the way
Sun brightened the day
Now all I can say
“Everything will be OK!”

When I saw your smile
Lost my mind for a while
That long black hair…
Forgive me if I stare?

The way that you giggle
Throwin’ in a lil’ wiggle
When I have my choice
Listen to your voice

I’m putty in your hand
Hope you’ll understand
When you make the heart melt
I know it’s heart felt

bookmark_borderOut Think Shrink

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The seriousness of the situation
Is such…
If we keep turning the temperature up…
Much
Don’t you think
Our time will shrink?
With nothing to drink
Our… well…
You know…
Our thirst will grow
And it’s hard to get down
On the downbeat
With nothing to eat
No doubt a drought
As waste from our haste
Comes flooding in…
We begin
The End

Chords: Em Improv; 80 and various BPM

bookmark_borderKnow-it-all

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Right when I thought
I knew it all
I finally got the call:

Know-it-all,
A thought you ought
Might want to recall
You can learn something new
Every day
You’ve got to keep on living
If you want to learn
Everything…
Along the way

1 to 3
Do you see
Through
Do you?
In addition to 1, 2, 3
There’s 1 to 3, too
When you begin to circle it
The possibilities are pi high
Keep reaching for the sky
You can reach it if you try

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Don’t you know
You’re barking into thin air
You can bark and bark
But, there’s still nothing there
That bunny ran
So as fast as you can
Do what you do
Pursue
(That’s what you do)
Don’t you worry or feel sorry
That bunny will be back again
And, you’ll keep her runnin’

bookmark_borderMe and My Shadow

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Cast a shadow
On tomorrow
Tread lightly
Cast a shadow
On tomorrow
Thread tightly
The seams of our dreams
Sows the seems of woes or beams
Don’t let my shadow
Darken the door
Of tomorrow

Cast a shadow
On tomorrow
Tread lightly
Cast a shadow
On tomorrow
Thread tightly
Our veils set sail
And reveal the deal for real
Don’t let my shadow
Darken the door
Of tomorrow

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Part particle
Yet, slave to wave
Put together just right
So I can see the light
Physics flexes her might
So we can see the light
Gaining quantum insight
As I see the light
There alibi’s airtight
Cruising at the speed of light

bookmark_borderFeel for the Edge

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you know
How far to go
Blow by blow
I don’t know

Could you feel for the edge
I’ve a feeling we’re on a ledge
Precariously perched
On the precipice
(My pants, I…. psssst)
Do you know
How far to go
Blow by blow
I don’t know

Could you feel for my hand
I’m trying to understand
On the precipice
(My pants, I…. psssst)
Do you know
How far to go
Blow by blow
I don’t know

Could you explain to me
The myth of destiny
On the precipice
(My pants, I…. psssst)
Do you know
How far to go
Blow by blow
I don’t know

bookmark_borderYour Affection

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The building of suspension
Amongst the growing tension
… don’t let it lessen
Your affection
What we need now more than ever —
Love
Today, somehow
Hearts get clever
Hearts get together
Love
Believe it or not
One day your heart will stop
Until such a time
Going to keep mining mine
Not a matter “of”
Gonna keep diggin’ love

bookmark_borderWin Some, Lose Some

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Win some, lose some
All in how you play the game
Awesome
Gruesome
All in how you state your claim
A wind of change
Will blow your way
When you put faith
In your today
Becoming your own superhero
Getting to know “getting to know”
Turning to friend
My fiercest foe
Fee-fi-fo-fum… come
The wind of change
Is blowin’ your way
Your faith in the day
Has come into play

bookmark_borderSpeed Will Supersede

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Did you ever notice when you go slow
Dreams seem to go into slo-mo
Think of all things you could know
If you steer clear
To kickin’ high-gear
Put that foot down to the floor
Let’s accelerate some more
The need for speed will supersede
Propelling you into the lead

In the mood to pickup the tempo
Spilling dreams in an overflow
Think of all the places we could go
To kickin’ high-gear
Put that foot down to the floor
Let’s accelerate some more
The need for speed will supersede
Propelling you into the lead

Has Father Time lost his get up and go
Start dreaming of duck in a row
Think of tumbling the first domino
To kickin’ high-gear
Put that foot down to the floor
Let’s accelerate some more
The need for speed will supersede
Propelling you into the lead

bookmark_borderWonder Why (Do or Die)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As the sun goes high in the sky
The earth on Earth goes dry
Perhaps it’s time to wonder why
We’ve turned it into do or die
We let out a cumulative sigh
Perhaps too late to wail and cry
We’ve turned it into do or die
We let out a collective sigh

As the sky blackens with storm clouds
Thunder roars like the Gods out loud
River banks burst… a new high tide
No, you can’t run, and you can’t hide
What do you call this hurricane
Not enough Greek letters left to name
As the sun goes high in the sky
The earth on Earth goes dry
Perhaps it’s time to wonder why
We’ve turned it into do or die
We let out a cumulative sigh
Perhaps too late to wail and cry
We’ve turned it into do or die
We let out a collective sigh

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Did you know
You’re incognito
Incognito

It happens fast
It all goes past
Will the memories last
The bills come due
And so will You
Give it your best grasp

Didn’t know I was incognito
No one seems to know
Unaware they didn’t care
Well, then… there you go

bookmark_borderStep Right Up

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Step right up, sir
Take your chances
At a brand new world
Hear the stances
Of the most sober
Story ever told

Can’t understand
Why man damned man
Guess I’ve something to learn
Can’t understand
Man the conman
Guess too eager to earn
Can’t understand
Why man damned man
Guess I’ve something to learn

My dear neighbor
Lend me your ear
What is going on here
Love’s no labor
Isn’t it clear
Or didn’t you hear?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What do you have to say?
Hey! Hey!
Working all day for sum pay
Hey! Hey!
The weight of the world you say

Take a load off
And come let it roll
You’ve had enough
Don’t let life take a toll
… let it roll

Move on in a new way
Hey! Hey!
Find your way to the ray
Hey! Hey!
Conquer the foray

Take a load off
And come let it roll
You’ve had enough
Don’t let life take a toll
… let it roll

From under clouds dark gray
Hey! Hey!
Standing in the light
All troubles fade away
Hey! Hey!
It’ll be alright

Take a load off
And come let it roll
You’ve had enough
Don’t let life take a toll
… let it roll
