LYRICS
One way street
The wrong way
Leaves me in defeat
On my knees and pray

There is no easy way out
Beyond a reasonable doubt
There is no easy way out
(We find out)

Four-way stop
And a cop
Watching like a hawk
Next time better walk

Missed red light
Not my night?
Fight or flight
I just might

LYRICS
As your skeleton’s glowing
Your brain is knowing
Should be concerning
Urgent. Burning.
Senseless consequences
Gnawing at the mind
I find… gnawing on the mind
If it matters,
They say
Resulting in the decay
Of our grey matter
Titter-tatter
Chitter-chatter
Can you hear?
Brain-eating-worm
In your ear
Can you hear
In your ear

Isn’t it wonderful
Living to see the day
A world so bountiful

All ways tasteful
Now less wasteful

Isn’t it beautiful
Living to see the day
A world so plentiful

Now more mindful

Living to see the day

LYRICS
If you want to play music on the street
Let the rhythm be your beat
Bo Diddly did what Bo Diddly did
Now you can dance ’round like some sort-a kid
If you’re looking for a summertime treat
Well, dance to the music on the summertime street
If you’re looking for some summertime heat
Then dance on the street to a summertime beat
Bow-tied Diddly till I die
Tie-died diddly paint the sky
Go Bo Diddly
Ain’t talkin’ squat
So why not?

LYRICS
Is it really hard to view
An other’s point-of-view
Though no matter what you do
It really isn’t you
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

Is it really hard to see
What’s in front of me
Is the question really
To be or not to be?
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

Have we all become so blind
To being one-of-a-kind
Unique is hard to find
When nothing comes to mind
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

What’s become of vision
I only see division
Truth or opinion
Our ultimate decision
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

LYRICS
Play with the sounds
… ’til the sounds become sound
Engineer all you hear
Make use produce footloose
Tune-in agent fortune

The beat of the feet
Breakdown on the street
The sounds are found
… ’til the sounds become sound

Traffic stops
Top Of The Pops
Sounds go ’round
… ’til the sounds become sound

Tune-in an agent of fortune
… until the sounds become sound
Sounds go round ‘n round
Until the sounds become sound sound

LYRICS
Funny how things work out
Karma kicks in
Sooner than later
About to kick in
Lover or hater?
Go ahead open the door
Already know what’s in store
What goes around
Comes around
Little Jack Horner got some more
Jack and Jill both fell down
Go ahead step outside
Unless there’s something to hide?
Sooner or later
The procrastinator
Comes to learn — it’s too late
Why wait for your fate?

bookmark_borderGone Fishing

LYRICS
Not really one to go fishing
For a compliment at “the sure”
And, though I wasn’t wishing
Yours walked through the door
Not to be hanging
Any more

When your smile walked my way
Parted the clouds, making my day
The simple gesture of saying “You’re great!”
If I was fishing, no need for bait
Blessed
With lucky fate

A simple act of kindness
Can change the course of things
Instead of love blindness
Bring strings that make hearts sing
Words
On which to cling

With the words you choose to say
Abandon the fight, instead unite
We can band together and play
Gather round what is right
Change
The day

LYRICS
Got to find the light
It’s not a given
The insight of sight
It’s a living heaven
Seek out the light
It is insight
In sight
No one knows
In the shadows
How the light shows
Or insight flows
Step out into the light
It’s all right, alright
Into the broad beam
Out of the narrows
Out of the shadows
In the flow of the stream
The broad beam
Given livin’ in heaven
The light of insight in sight

LYRICS
All of a sudden
Everywhere
There’s angels
Before unnoticed
The crowd intermingles
And I don’t think anybody knows
Let alone which way the wind blows

All of a sudden
Starting to love
All these angels
A gift from above
Less oblivious
Than most of us
And I don’t think anybody knows
Let alone which way the wind blows

Heaven on Earth
Thankful for birth
For sure
The universal treasure
With most worth
And I don’t think anybody knows
Let alone which way the wind blows

bookmark_borderPig Fly

LYRICS
When a unicorn farting butterflies
Fails to surprise
I realize
Low and behold
The pot at the end of a rainbow
May not be full of gold
As I was told
It might take searching near and far
To find out where the facts are

When a pig that jigs
Takes off and flies
Fails to surprise
I realize

When a grieving mother
Breaks down and cries
Fails to surprise
I realize

When you give up “tries”
And all hope dies
Fails to surprise
I realize
Low and behold
The pot at the end of a rainbow
May not be full of gold
As I was told
It might take searching near and far
To find out where the facts are

All I could see were clouds in my coffee
Now, I can see more clearly
Now, I can see more clearly

Am I blind
trying to find
A kind kind
To combine
One that knows
“In’s and out’s”
That knows what it’s about
I see the grind
Rear-view rewind
Before it’s too late
Determine my fate

Am I the kind
That pays no mind
To being kind
Remind
One that knows
“In’s and out’s”
that knows what it’s about
Be free of grind
Peace we find
Before it’s too late
Determine our fate
