Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Once you go and get it started
Won’t be long ’til the water’s parted
Once you go and get it started
The other half of half-hearted
And the “see’s” are parted

Once you go and you jump right in
Then you’ll begin to learn swimmin’
Once you go and just jump right in
All of your limbs
Learn to swim
Beginning

Once you go and give it a chance
You’ll see we’re all born to dance
Once you go and give it a chance
Surely, won’t hurt to try
Last dance is drawing nigh
Then, bye-bye

LYRICS
Break in the east
Head west all day
A point-of-view that at least
Is in a relative way
Who is going around who?
If you don’t like it
What are you going to do?
There is no self-pity
In relativity
The fact is:
Spinning on our axis
A satellite
Of the sun
When all’s said and done…
A satellite of the sun
Is that right?
… a satellite of the sun
You might be right… not daft
When you say left is right
And, that right is left
… you just might
(Be right)

LYRICS
These symptoms are confussin’
Can’t figure my head from my tail
While all the while I’m oozing
On my knees, to no avail
Don’t ask me
What’s the matter with me
If I knew
Would I be asking you?

These symptoms are less than amusin’
Dumbfounding me to no avail
While all the while I’m loosing
Oh why won’t what ails sail?
Don’t ask me
What’s the matter with me
If I knew
Would I be asking you?

It’s starting to come through
I’m starting to get a clue
The frailty of humanity
Inevitability of mortality
Exactly
What’s the matter with me
Is that what’s ailing you, too?

LYRICS
Hey! Wait just a minute
… you mean I’m already in it?
All the time already been
In the in
I just now figured it out
If you can’t find the easy way out
Do you know what I’m talking about?
Are you trying to tell me
To see “obviously”
All this time I have been
In the in?
Easy! All this time
It’s been inside of me
No doubt
The easy way out
Is inside of me

LYRICS
Until when there’s nothing better
’til dead and gone, the go-getter
Getting hotter, getting wetter
Getting dryer, you’re on fire
Last gasp and final desire
Damn the straits be thee dire
Spirits going to lift me higher
Stay out of harms way
(Hopefully today)
Chalk it up to your power
In God’s final hour
Our hour of power
Power our are
Are our

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is it time to break camp
Stamp the ember out
Fold the tent
Our time’s lent
Orient a new route
It’s in the stars this evening
Bring on the dawn in the morning

Being nomad isn’t so bad
Everywhere you roam is home
Features
All the creatures
Best I’ve ever had
It’s in the stars this evening
Bring on the dawn in the morning

Planet Earth was great for a birth
Being a being
More universe
Chapter and verse
Free for the seeing
It’s in the stars this evening
Bring on the dawn in the morning

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Ohhhh The Po Po Po’s
Lease on life
At the least
Is rife with strife
Do you hear the howl
All the while
The downtrodden’s growl
No compassion
In their fashion
Badge and club and gun
Make you want to run
We’ll shed a tear today
Run, run, run away
We’ll keep the fear at bay
Where there’s a we’ll / will
There’s a way
You know…
It won’t be over
’til we overthrow
Our overlords
(Hear the hoards
Here the hoards)

LYRICS
Go wild all day
Go wild all night
Along the way
I try to shed some light
And, as I move along
If things start going wrong
I know it won’t be long
Till I take a right
Leaving left long gone
Will “be” long
We’ll belong

And, as I move along
Think I know what’ll keep me strong
By playing “one more song!”
You can sing along
Will “be” long
We’ll belong

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Throwing into the wind
Where the mind has been
Gone with the wind
Or come back again?
Don’t you know
I think it blows?
(Don’t you think I know it blows?)
No matter which way it goes
It blows
Any way the wind blows
Don’t you know
I think it blows
All my answers…
Blowin’ in the wind
Why question the suggestion
’cause in conclusion the conclusion:
Is in the hands of the weather/whether
Blowin’ like a feather
In the wind

LYRICS
What can I do
The time sure flew
What can I do
I’m asking you
Hands of the clock
Are ready to shock
Spinnin’ ’round
They never slow down
Sets the pace
With the hands on his face
… to pursue the chase?

Hands on the clock
Never going to stop
Night and day
They go the same way
No surprise
They’re going clockwise
… the wise realize

Hands on the clock
Would fit like a glove
If this were
The time for love
I’m a bandit of time
Hands up! This is a stick-up
I’m…
… a band-it of time

Takes the boy out of man

Homeless Home
LYRICS
Maybe I’m clueless
Guessing the homeless
In spite of the storm
Had to leave home
Not of the norm
In a hurry
Alas, couldn’t last
Had to move fast
Probably had to scurry
Shedding their bedding
Hope the coat can float
Wondering how does it feel
Abandoning your last meal?
I suppose when forced to roam
Everywhere you call is home
Despite the storm
Won’t help to moan
Now, the new norm
Is to hurry
The past couldn’t last
Had to move fast
Probably had to scurry

ABOUT THE SONG
Written in between Market, Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA. (Gay Church)

I was sitting on a bench getting ready to write a song when I looked over at abandoned belongings.

LYRICS
The western horizon
Appearing frightening
Those storm clouds are rolling
Blowing over me
Drastically

At the end of the day
Sure to blow you away
No matter what you do or say
Sure to blow you away

Save yourself from harm
Sound the alarm
Quickly, take shelter
From this Helter Skelter

Talking ominous
For the both of us
Make a break for it
Talking screwed and “holy $hit”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The more I listen
The more urgent is heard
The more I listen
The more actions for words

The severity of rarity
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

The disparity of prosperity
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

The vanity of humanity
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

The intensity of insanity
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

The rationing of rationally
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God
