Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Take the flight of a crow
Straight as an arrow
Should the question arise
As the crow flies
No need to jeopardize
All we’ve realized
Understand it
Our place on the planet
A dose of gross
And net prophet

Take the flight of a crow
Point-to-point and go
Should the question arise
Brave tailor kills flies
No need to jeopardize
All we’ve realized
Understand it
Our place on the planet
A dose of gross
And net prophet

Take the flight of a crow
Fly straight and know
Should the question arise
Eventually everyone dies
No need to jeopardize
All we’ve realized
Understand it
Our place on the planet
A dose of gross
And net prophet

Take the flight of a crow
The straight and narrow
Should the question arise
Comes as no surprise
No need to jeopardize
All we’ve realized
Understand it
Our place on the planet
A dose of gross
And net prophet

bookmark_borderThe Gift

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The gift of a day
Is coming our way
Free to dance and play
Or rather
Go so far
As to be a rockstar?
Living in your own shell
Fare thee well

The gift of a day
Is coming our way
Free to write and say
Or rather
Take the position
Of a politician?
Living in your own hell
Fare thee well

The gift of a day
Is coming our way
Free to do as we may
Or rather
Do the crime
Pay the time
In a cell?
Fare thee well

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How hot you look tonight
But things just don’t feel right
Too warm too soon
Still three months till June
Neat strewn
Heat swoon
Prior to the Pink Moon
Here’s the thing
It’s barely Spring
And it just ain’t right
Here’s the thing
It’s barely Spring
Sprung hot summer nights

How hot you look tonight
But things just don’t feel right
Been caught
Too hot
Still three months till June
We’ve got dry rot
Prior to the Pink Moon
Here’s the thing
It’s barely Spring
And it just ain’t right
Here’s the thing
It’s barely Spring
Sprung hot summer nights

How hot you look tonight
But things just don’t feel right
No fool, not cool
Still three months till June
Some fool broke rule
Prior to the Pink Moon
Here’s the thing
It’s barely Spring
And it just ain’t right
Here’s the thing
It’s barely Spring
Sprung hot summer nights
[Not hot summer nights]

LYRICS
Light the wit a bit
Once lit, fan it
The embers of wisdom glow
Enlighten the kingdom we know
Take birth on Earth for what it’s worth
Make birth on Earth all it’s worth

Fan the flames higher
Set fire hearts’ desire
The embers of wisdom glow
Enlighten the kingdom we know
Take birth on Earth for what it’s worth
Make birth on Earth all it’s worth

All the world alight
Shining, shining bright
The embers of wisdom glow
Enlighten the kingdom we know

Take birth on Earth for what it’s worth
Make birth on Earth all it’s worth

Time keeps marching
Facing future
Keep on searching
For our fortune
Already in grasp
Starting to understand

In case you didn’t know
We don’t have far to go
To get to the show
When the lights go down
Gather round
Hear the thing is to sing
Tonight’s the night
Under spotlight
See what we can bring
Soul fling!

Alright here we go
Now you’re in the know
On with the show
When the lights go down
Gather round
Hear the thing is to sing
Tonight’s the night

See what we can bring

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Don’t mean to sound the alarm
But do you feel it getting warm?
Sun’s too hot
Juggernaut
People puzzle

No dream so sound the alarm
About our self-inflicted harm
Sun’s too hot
Juggernaut
People puzzle

You know I’ve learned a lot
Deserving what we’ve got
Sun’s too hot
Juggernaut
People puzzle

After all our climate change
A little late to rearrange
Sun’s too hot
Juggernaut
People puzzle

We keep on asking why
All of us want to die
Fossil fuel they’ll have to pry
From my hands as they fry

Long lost fashion
Heart on sleeve compassion
Passion for all
All rational

LYRICS
I’m a fool’s fool
Where should I begin
I’m a fool’s fool
Can’t be fooled again
I’m aware
I’ve been there
I’ve done that
won’t repeat
A defeat
Where I’m at

I’m a fool’s fool
Where should I begin
Not a fool’s tool
Can’t be used again
I’m aware
I’ve been there
I’ve done that
won’t repeat
A defeat
Where I’m at

I’m a fool’s fool
Where should I begin
Not one to rule
Won’t be reigned in
I’m aware
I’ve been there
I’ve done that
won’t repeat
A defeat
Where I’m at

LYRICS
Hear here
Hear you’re here
To deliver
The silver bullet
Thick magic
Spine shiver
If we can pull it…?

Bang, bang
Hear you’re here to aim higher
Pull the trigger
Fire
Expire the dire
Angels sang
Bells rang
Love transpires

Magic bullet
Can you hear it?
Lifting spirit
Magic bullet

Here hear
Here you’ll hear
The voices
Be freewill
Instill
Choices
Pump the fist
Of an optimist
Raise the love
Above

Magic bullet
Can you hear it?
Lifting spirit
Magic bullet

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Hear that you’re having a cow
Hear that it’s happening now
After the size of the pig
Got to big
Die to fly

When the pigs take to the sky
Half-past time to ask why
When you see one overhead
You know “Lookout below!”
They’ll drop you dead

Remember how you gawked and squawked
Chicken with its head cutoff
After the size of the pig
Got to big
Die to fly

When the pigs take to the sky
Half-past time to ask why
When you see one overhead
You know “Lookout below!”
They’ll drop you dead

Now you see it taking shape
Deciding to go ape
After the size of the pig
Got to big
Die to fly

When the pigs take to the sky
Half-past time to ask why
When you see one overhead
You know “Lookout below!”
They’ll drop you dead

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
1) Aghast
A brash society
At last
A fresh remedy

2) Abound
In rash stupidity
Around
Too fast cyclicity

3) Down, down
Into the vortex
Soon found
If there’s a next… more next?

Chorus:
Self-solved
Resolved
Uroboros
We’re meant as serpent
Eating our own tale?
Unrepenting servant
Eating our own flail
Realization
Civilization
Fail

Oroboros: a circular symbol depicting a snake, or less commonly a dragon, swallowing its tail.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sometimes it’s heads
Other times it’s tails
When random is chance
It never fails
Into the air
Toss it fair
Whichever way it goes
Depends which way the wind blows
Updraft
Downdraft
Catch my drift?
Upwind
Downwind
Let the game begin

Sometimes boxcars
Other times snake eyes
If chance is random
It’s no surprise
Into the air
Toss it fair
Whichever way it goes
Depends which way the wind blows
Updraft
Downdraft
Catch my drift?
Upwind
Downwind
Let the game begin

Sometimes it’s red
Other times it’s black
House controls random
Green’s the hack
Toss it fair
Whichever way it goes
Depends which way the wind blows
Updraft
Downdraft
Catch my drift?
Upwind
Downwind
Let the game begin

bookmark_borderRiding the Storm Out

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Hart the Earth’s bowels growl
Winds begin to howl
Find out about
Riding the storm out
Check the latches
Batten down the hatches

Sky’s wrath of a bath
Skies cry no one’s dry
Find out about
Riding the storm out
Check the latches
Batten down the hatches

Fear the swifter twister
Avoid the wrath of the path
Find out about
Riding the storm out
Check the latches
Batten down the hatches

Mercy of energy
State we brought to be
Find out about
Riding the storm out
Check the latches
Batten down the hatches

A song inspired by the Mississippi tornado that stayed on the ground for over an hour. A typical tornado touches down for 5 to 10 minutes. “We are not saying that the Earth’s temperature is just going to rise. In general, as energy is added to a system, the fluctuations in the system increase.” Mukherjee and Brouse. (2004)

bookmark_borderLover Recovery

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Heard “You’d better move over”
Felt ‘er starting to squeeze
Before the gut spillover
Evasion plan please
Hoping to recover
From the grasp of my lover
Hoping that she’ll set me free
So I can see clearly
Then I’d be
Living happily
Living happily
Ever after
(Ohhh…. to hear the laughter)

But her grip didn’t slip
Felt more of a squeeze
Lost my stiff upper lip
Bringing on a quease
Hoping to recover
From the grasp of my lover
Hoping that she’ll set me free
So I can see clearly
Then I’d be
Living happily
Living happily
Ever after
(Does anyone remember laughter?)

Butter fingers linger
Slapping on the grease
No more bad habit
Habitat fleece
Hoping to recover
From the grasp of my lover
Hoping that she’ll set me free
So I can see clearly
Then I’d be
Living happily
Living happily
Ever after
(Ohhh…. to hear the laughter
Does anyone remember laughter?)
