bookmark_borderThe End Game

LYRICS
Can anyone tell me
What this is?
Entertainment
… some sort-of show biz?
Can anybody tell me
Is this the show?
Can somebody tell me
I want to know
Somehow
I thought there’d be more
Than Sodom and Gomorrah
Alt-right and spite
Blood and gore
If I might…
If it’s alright
… I thought I might
Write
… a better ending:
Love and the message sending
If complete, something sweet
You join in, too?
The End

LYRICS
Whenever I see the raindrops
Hit the sidewalk
I think of you
Whenever I see the sunshine
Ripen the vine
I think of you
It seems no matter what I do
I think of you

When Spring is in the air
I feel you there
My heart feeling the call
Reminiscing in fall
From the crack of dawn
Until dusk’s last yawn
You’re in my head
As I lay in bed
It seems no matter what I do
I think of you

LYRICS
In the dark of night
Your light shines bright
Yes, you are
The brightest star
Dear,
Your light travels through the years
Overpowering any fears
Of the dark
The brilliance of your spark
Lust for the luster of your sparkle
Ahhhhh the original miracle
In the eye
Of the heavenly sky
A wrinkle in time the way you twinkle
The whitest light
In the twilight
Truth told
You never get old
Truth told
Ahhh behold

LYRICS
Can you shed a little love this way
Head a little love this way
You led a little love this way
I’m OK

Haste to fine
When you taste divine
Haste to find
While we have the time

Can you share a little care this way
Flare a little care this way
There… a little care this way
I’m OK

Can you shine a little light this way
Opine for the light this way
Mine is just right this way
I’m OK

LYRICS
Re, re, re, re, restraint
Wears thin
When I see you
Wearing that skin
The skin you’re in
I’d like to see that again
Love? … or something akin
Rub on passionate
Participate
In appreciate
The love… or something akin
Taking off kid gloves
Spilling my guts
Please don’t think I’m nuts
When I look within
The passion
The person
Love… or something akin
Then again… our offspring is our kin?

LYRICS
Alright
It starts off nice and calm
… when we’re still in love

I thought you said you’d love me
You’d love me till The End
And, then…
It was The End

Things are looking brighter now
And, I know somehow
I’ll find my way out of here
I’ll find my way clear

You said you’d never go
Now, I know
It’s time to go

No blood and guts?
You’ve gone nuts
There’s enough blood and guts
You’ve gone nuts

LYRICS
Hey, Baby!
Don’t call me baby?
Just maybe
I’ve crossed the line
… crossing the line
If I’m crossing the line
Better take my time

Put on the heels
What is the deal?
Straying eye
“where” / wear the dress high

Forget the bus
Wait for us
If whatcha after
Is happily ever after

Insurmountable task
I don’t know how to ask
Dare I take the chance
Ans ask you to dance
Does it have to lead to romance
Is my mind the kind
That concedes
To wants and needs
Lord, help me please
I’m falling, falling, fall…
After all
