bookmark_borderThe Last Think You Think Of

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Usually start at the beginning
Walking endlessly about
Figuring they’ll be extra innings
There’ll be plenty of time, no doubt
The End is the last thing you think of
Will it be too late for love?

Fall out of bed into the same routine
Forgot to find out “what does life mean?”
Knowing there’s always tomorrow
Plenty of time to reverse sorrow
The End is the last thing you think of
Will it be too late for love?

Day after day turns into years
Begin realizing your fears
Take a deep breath, let out a sigh
Begin to realize… everyone dies
The End is the last thing you think of
Will it be too late for love?

… will it be too late to love?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Here it comes…
… there it goes
Wanted it oh so bad
Don’t let it leave ya feelin’ sad
Anticipation
Exasperation
Wanted it oh so bad
Not as good as we had

Here it comes…
… there it goes
Started to get to know
Easy come… easy go
Exciting surprise
Let down by-and-by
Starting to get to know
Road that’s high… road that’s low

Here it comes…
… there it goes
Coming to recognize
Me, me, me’s n’ I, I, I’s
Come time to let go
Get the hing to go, go, go
Coming to realize
To live life before it dies

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Didn’t know
Tail in tow
It’s a meteor show
Watch ’em go
See the glow
It’s a meteor show
In the anatomy of astronomy
There’s a strange asymmetry to the geometry
Takes the sixth sense to see

Meteor
Headed toward
Mother Earth
Meteor
Hurlin’ toward
For what it’s worth
It’s a meteor show
In the anatomy of astronomy
There’s a strange asymmetry to the geometry
Takes the sixth sense to see

bookmark_borderUnder the Thick

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Try to be nimble
Try to be quick
Try to get out from under the think
Try to be humble
Not such a dick
Try to get out from under the think
Embedded
Midst of think headed
Embedded
In the land of the dreaded
Look to see
Breaking free

Try to be agile
Little less fragile
Try to get out from under the think
Take the best pick
Not in the clique
Try to get out from under the think
Embedded
Midst of think headed
Embedded
In the land of the dreaded
Look to see
Breaking free

bookmark_borderBe Like God

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A smile, a nod
It’s not that odd
What a little love can do
A heart that’s true
Will comfort you
What a little love will do
No matter whatever may ail
No doubt love will (not fail) prevail
The elixir will fix her
The remedy for the malady
The melody to life’s harmony

It’s not that odd
You can be like god
What a little love can do
You’ll heal the sick
Make the dead quick
What a little love will do
No matter whatever may ail
No doubt love will (not fail) prevail
The elixir will fix her
The remedy for the malady
The melody to life’s harmony

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Relatively relativity
To mistake the physics
With the philosophy
Could wind up in havoc
Subjective to being
I’m time…
… space… continuum… I am
Ummm, um, um

Relatively relativity
To mistake the physics
With the philosophy
Could wind up being drastic
Point-of-view to seeing
I’m time…
… space… continuum… I am
Ummm, um, um

Therefore, I think… I think
Therefore, I am
In a space race
Time continuum

bookmark_borderTaking the Long Way Home

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Not in any hurry
Done with the work for a while
No need to scurry
Relax into a style
Taking the long way home
Making the song go long

Not in a real big rush
Done with work for the day
Need more than first blush
Determine what is the way
Taking the long way home
Making the song go long

What’s with the skedaddle
Going to shake loose for a while
Already won the battle
Time to dial into a style
Taking the long way home
Making the song go long

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When the sun hits the skin
… soaks in
Let the photosynthesis
… begin
I can see the light
Shining in you
Your glow growing bright
Warm inner view

As the rays find their way
… get in
Let the photosynthesis
… begin
I can see the light
Shining in you
Your glow growing bright
Warm inner view

Out from behind a cloud
… again
The photosynthesis
… is

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
None worse for the wear?
Still handle with care
Sensitive aware
I’m a human, too
Got feelings just like you
Hold true

Well, no harm no foul?
Still might get a growl
Cool it for a while
I’m a human, too
Got feelings just like you
Hold true

Is it no big deal
Making a man kneel?
Sensitivity’s real
I’m a human, too
Got feelings just like you
Hold true

LYRICS
Since I’m already here
Want me to get you one?
Not sure you can hear
Want me to get you one?
Our bounty is plenty
As far as the eye can see
And plenty our bounty
As long as the I can be

Since I’m already here
Want me to get you one?
Not sure you can hear
Want me to get you one?
Our riches are many
As far as the “I” can see
Dreams can be any
Whatever we want can be

bookmark_borderShe Won’t Look Back

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
While growing older
I’m learning a fact of time
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
Times growing bolder
Refusing to heed my whine
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
She’s making funny faces
Moves fast… leaves no traces
Should be clockwise round n’ round
But, she wins the race
Hands down

As I grow older
Figured a fact of time
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
Times growing bolder
Refusing to heed my whine
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
She’s making funny faces
Moves fast… leaves no traces
Should be clockwise round n’ round
But, she wins the race
Hands down

Now that I’m older
Embody the fact of time
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
Times growing bolder
Refusing to heed my whine
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
She’s making funny faces
Moves fast… leaves no traces
Should be clockwise round n’ round
But, she wins the race
Hands down

bookmark_borderKeep Looking

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you haven’t found what you’re looking for
Keep looking
Go round in the sound
Find out “who I am”
Take it up from down
Tighten up the unwound

If in the jam you haven’t jelled
Keep cooking
Go round in the sound
Find out “who I am”
Take it up from down
Tighten up the unwound

If in the song the groove goes wrong
Keep hooking
Go round in the sound
Find out “who I am”
Take it up from down
Tighten up the unwound

My mind is drifting on a cloud
Thinking out loud
Be mindful of flaunting proud

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What are they giving away
On the surface today?
Might have to land
To come to understand
There there’s fresh air
True hearts to bare

What are they giving away
On the surface today?
Dig out of the sand
To come to understand
There’s mother’s milk
Art of any ilk

What are they giving away
On the surface today?
Free to join the band
Offer a hand
We’ll breath fresh air
Give and take… we’ll share
