Posted on by admin

LYRICS
So far away
Yet so close to home
People? Plenty
Yet still all alone?
Needle in a haystack
Can’t tell the light from black

And so it goes
Another of those
Led far astray
Where hearts are empty
Needle in a haystack
Can’t tell the light from black
When it rains, it pours
While they reign, we’re poor

Lost in a crowd
Does anyone here know
Maybe too proud
Inflated ego
Needle in a haystack
Can’t tell the light from black
When it rains, it pours
While they reign, we’re poor
Who sees…
The forest through the trees?

LYRICS
The End of the Ice Age
Need a new age sage
A guide to slide
Me off the ice
Think twice
About rolling the dice
… less loose grips slip

That’s The End of an era
Need a lesson on less error
A guide to slide
Me off the ice
Think twice
About rolling the dice
… less loose grips slip

They say it’s a new day
Could use some help finding my way
A guide to slide
Me off the ice
Think twice
About rolling the dice
… less loose grips slip

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In between the cracks
The dust must
Often overseen
Us to dust
Why fuss
Why fret
On us
To get
With it
(at least for a bit… get with it!)

In between the dark
There’s flashes
In The End we embark
Us to ashes
Why fuss
Why fret
On us
To get
With it
(at least for a bit… get with it!)

Now I stop to think
We’re stardust
The missing link
Always dust
Why fuss
Why fret
On us
To get
With it
(at least for a bit… get with it!)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Absurd is the word
Or haven’t you heard
We’re still alive and kicking
We can take a licking
… still alive and kicking!

Demise exaggerated
Your lies overrated
We’re still alive and kicking
The names just aren’t sticking
… still alive and kicking!

It’s a safe bet
We’re not dead yet
We’re still alive and kicking
Our hearts are still ticking
… still alive and kicking!

A song about The War in Ukraine inspired by Volodymyr Zelensky’s address to the U.S. Congress, “Ukraine is still alive and kicking.”

Ukrainian Translation
ЛІРИКА
Абсурд це слово
Або ви не чули
Ми все ще живі та живі
Ми можемо лизати
… ще живий!

Загибель перебільшена
Ваша брехня переоцінена
Ми все ще живі та живі
Імена просто не прилипають
… ще живий!

Це безпечна ставка
Ми ще не вмерли
Ми все ще живі та живі
Наші серця ще цокають
… ще живий!

LIRYKA
Absurd tse slovo
Abo vy ne chuly
My vse shche zhyvi ta zhyvi
My mozhemo lyzaty

Zahybelʹ perebilʹshena
Vasha brekhnya pereotsinena
My vse shche zhyvi ta zhyvi
Imena prosto ne prylypayutʹ
… shche zhyvyy!

Tse bezpechna stavka
My shche ne vmerly
My vse shche zhyvi ta zhyvi
Nashi sertsya shche tsokayutʹ
… shche zhyvyy!

LYRICS
I ventured on outside
Indentured to decide
Inside
I reckoned with reckon
I reckoned to jump-start
At heart
Take warmth in the nurture
… the nurture of nature
Survive
Take stock in the future
… the future of nature/nurture
Alive

On the ride
I adored the outside
Enamored worldwide
All tried
Then pondered the wonder
To wander in freedom
Awesome
Take warmth in the nurture
… the nurture of nature
Survive
Take stock in the future
… the future of nature/nurture
Alive

Have you tried
You ventured to outside
Been guided to decide
Inside?
You reckoned to reckon
Beckoned to re-start
Your heart?
Take warmth in the nurture
… the nurture of nature
Survive
Take stock in the future
… the future of nature/nurture
Alive

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You had to ask
The right is wrong
The left is gone
Starting to think it won’t be long
You had to ask
The left has left
Can’t right the rest
Starting to think they don’t know best
The crowning of the irony
Attest

You had to ask
The right turned wrong
All left our song
Starting to think it won’t be long
You had to ask
The right has left
Left can’t digest
Starting to wonder what you suggest?
The crowning of the irony
Attest

LYRICS
Am I floating in the Milky Way
Is that how you say

  1. Adrift in space
  2. Flying through space
  3. Traveling in space

Atop a rock
In a space race
Hurling rapid’s pace
Hold the face
Gravity my friction
Naivety my diction

LYRICS
The light at The End of the tunnel
Exit
The vortex of the funnel
(That’s it! Exit!)
Spilling out
Into the light
Flowing out
Onto a sea of flight
Going out
To be among the bright
Knowing doubt
Was left in the night
Finding out
It all will be alright

LYRICS
How can we
Open our eyes to see
The possibilities
How can we
O[en our ears to hear
The answers are near
Took off the hood
Blinders are gone
Misunderstood
Reveal the pawn

How can we
Open our eyes to see
The possibilities
How can we
O[en our ears to hear
The answers are near
No matter what they do
The power’s in you
The dreams you pursue
The ones that come true

How can we
Open our eyes to see
The possibilities
How can we
O[en our ears to hear
The answers are near
Go tell a friend
The story didn’t end
Open eyes and ears
Wipe away your fears

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Coming undone in double time
Going to end in grime and crime
Just wish…
It’ll all turn out fine
Light shine
Will send us a sigh
Gift of lift
(Gift uplift)

Coming undone and really fast
Going to see who can outlast
Just wish…
It’ll all turn out fine
Light shine
Will send us a sigh
Gift of lift
(Gift uplift)

Coming undone… a rapid rate
Going to ask the human race
Just wish…
It’ll all turn out fine
Light shine
Will send us a sigh
Gift of lift
(Gift uplift)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
We better prepare for the storm
If we intend to stay warm
When we lose the light
We’ll be dark all night
When we lose the heat
There is no retreat

We better prepare for the storm
If we intend to stay warm
Might be stuck for days
Blocking all our ways
Nothing left to eat
Without a (re)treat

We better prepare for the storm
If we intend to stay warm
Nothing much to do
At least I’m with you
Might just be a treat
A private retreat

Rendezvous with you
(You, too?)

How can we
Please tell me
If maybe
We will see
Make it come to be
Forest through the trees
Fallen found the sound
Here for those to hear
Want to be clear

When can we
Please tell me
Hopefully
We will see
Make it come to be
Forest through the trees
Fallen found the sound
Here for those to hear
Want to be clear

Where can we
Please tell me
Oh, really?
Guess we’ll see
Make it come to be
Forest through the trees
Fallen found the sound
Here for those to hear
Want to be clear

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The last round isn’t quite over yet
There’s still time to place one final bet
Black or red
Live or dead
In the box
The key unlocks
Hips that walk
And lips that talk

So the fat lady hasn’t sung her song yet
There’s still time to get what you forget
Black or white
Wrong or right
In the box
The key unlocks
Hips that walk
And lips that talk

But we still haven’t found what we’re looking for
Certainly there’s got to be some more
Black as night
See the light
In the box
The key unlocks
Hips that walk
And lips that talk
