LYRICS
Candy coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize
Starting to realize
I don’t care if I never get back
If there is substance lack… there of
Need more love
Poor/pour on the love

Been found about
Your’ old ball game is nuts
Not sane
Blood and guts

LYRICS
Forever waving
Over the saving
Red, white and blue
And, black and blue, too
Now, whatcha gonna due/do?
Let hatred, greed… disguised as need
Stifle you?
When those in your view
Chose to lose
Silence you
Racist, fascist, nationalist
Can’t you see
Let them be
Evident as a “failed”
Where they lie the die experiment
Where they die they lie

LYRICS
If you want to be a royal pain in the a$$
You’re first in your class
Though I appreciate strife
Evoking life
I’d say enough for today
On your way
Didn’t make an appointment
For a fly in the ointment
If I meant
To bang my head on cement
That’s where I would have went

Full royal flush
Thus
Pain in the a$$
Alas
Pain in the a$$

LYRICS
No deposit. No return.
Will the naive burn
If ignorance is bliss
What happens after this?
For every action’s re-action
Are we talking object in motion?
The gravity of naivety
Argh! It’s killing me
(PS no B.S… you, too)

No deposit. No return.
Will the naive ever learn
There’s no bliss in ignorance
If ignorance is bliss…
What do you call this?

There ain’t no slowing down
My brain’s on the train
Blowin’ this bliss town
Wave bye-bye by-and-by
Ain’t tellin’ no lie
Wave bye-bye by-and-by

bookmark_borderGood As Gold

LYRICS
You’re good as gold
Or so I’m told
When your life’s goal
Is growin’ old

When going down the road
If you lighten your load
The toll of the total
Is less brutal
As a matter of fact
You can’t get it back
And, there’s really nothing that you lack

When you reach your golden years
Are you past your friggin’ fears
Are you able to forget
Skeletons in your closet
Are there no more tears
Not a regret
Is your last chapter…
Happily ever-after

LYRICS
Do you want to go (go, go, go)
Do you want to go to and fro
I don’t know
I heard said if we head ahead
I don’t know
Heard said so
If we head ahead… nothing to dread
I heard said
So, let’s go

I can understand if you want to go hand-in-hand
Or if you want a freehand
To freestyle for a while

Do you want to yes or to no?

Do you want to hide or to show?

Do you want to fade or to glow?

LYRICS
Wasn’t thinking anything fancy
Just some good ole rock n’ roll
Will you and me dance? Let’s see!
Playing post-modern rock n’ roll

A lil’ thing for if you wanna swing
With none of that jazz or classical gas
Nothing too neat but rocks a beat
Flex reflex moving feet from seats

Not epic or big just to make you jig
Not top-of-the-pop rubble
But, it might pop your bubble
Reggae’s fine most of the time
But I want a chip off the ole block
Rock!

LYRICS
Time to get back out on the dance floor
’til music penetrates every pore
’til music pours from every pore
As we lay down the dancing groove
Come and show us how you move
1,2,3,4
Hope you’re ready to dance some more
Left foot then right
Dance all night ’til dawn’s daylight

Shake it up, baby, twist and shout
Let that dancing demon find its way out

Nobody do the voodoo like you do
And, to think I never knew

LYRICS
If the daunting is haunting
Let music sooth your soul
Heart and mind take control
Singing and dancing unfold
It’s more than just a rumor
We’ll dance the twist of humor
At the station, leave your affliction
Dance on the locomotion
[Everybody’s doing a brand-new dance, now
(Come on baby, do the Loco-motion)]

If the haunting is menacing
Let music nimble your nerves
Come in out of the cold
Singing and dancing unfold

If menacing is irritating
Music! Let your spirit hear it
Play it out loud and bold
Singing and dancing unfold
