Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Damned if you do
Damned if you don’t
Oh how the heart aches
When the damn breaks

Quick! Stick your finger in the hole
The goal: stop it taking it’s toll
Quick! Fill more sandbags
The task master barks and nags

The water is starting to rise
It comes as no surprise
Pretty soon… up to our ears
Drowning in our worst fears

Will we realize it won’t subside
Guess we’re along for the ride
To the heights of the highest tide
So much for hurting pride

bookmark_border(That Baby is too Cute) To Sacrifice

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When that feeling comes over me
Oh, Lord, makes me want to plead
Oh, please! Oh, no, oh, please
Don’t let him bleed
Beyond absolute
That baby is too damn cute
Under advise
Would be be shame to sacrifice
And on and on and on it goes
Personal demons are the greatest foes
Forgive the sinner from all his woes
So why oh why must he die?
If we all promise not to sin
We pray he can go on living
And on and on and on it goes
Personal demons are the greatest foes
Forgive the sinner from all his woes

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Well, now that you went ahead and put it like that
I’ve to a better idea of where we’re at
I guess you could say
In a different way
The rest of our days
Are in play

The longer we keep on keeping on blowing smoke
The sooner we’re all likely to choke
I guess you could say
In a different way
The rest of our days
Are in play

The longer we keep on keeping on building up steam
Off the tracks faster we will deem
I guess you could say
In a different way
The rest of our days
Are in play

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As to the taste of the highfalutin
And fancy
As to the waste… the flatulence
Of the lazy
If you’re head is up your ask
It’s kind-of hard to bask
In the limelight (Right?)
The envy is not green
If you know what I mean?
Jealousy of decrepitcy
Is beyond silly
Delicious ludicrous
Salacious hypocrites
And dimwits

bookmark_borderMonkey Around

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Who wants to be the agitator
Of a wasp or an alligator
Not long to ponder
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest

Watch the silly monkey
Mouse around with the angry
What a silly monkey
To horse around…
With tolerancey

Who wants to be the one to rile
A viper or a crocodile
No time to wonder
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
(chorus)

Who wants to be the one to say “I am!”
When asked the task
“Who’ll put their head in the mouth of this lion?”
No time to squander
I think it’s best
Better not stir the hornets’ nest
(chorus)

[Poke the bear… if you dare]

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I hear you’re coming into a lot of dough
So, I just thought you should know
Fortune and fame
Make you lame
Fortune and fame
Going to drive you insane
And, literally lame
Everybody wants to be your friend
So long as you want to spend
But, when the well runs dry
So long (bye-bye)
Crocodile tears they cry
Everybody wants a piece of your peace
Knocking on your door
Always wanting more
Never cease
Fortune and fame
Make you lame
Fortune and fame
Going to drive you insane
And, literally lame

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Dropped the sway?
Walk this way
Pick up the peaces
Life’s leases
Needle and thread
Sow your bed
Lament on the spent
Just to the extent
Of once
Else, dunce
Same mistake twice
A half-baked device
(Call that a vice?)
Dropped puzzle pieces
The awe of jigsaw
Pick up the peaces
The zen back when
Make it happen again
If you could see
What I saw
See saw
Dropped puzzle pieces
Pick up the peaces
Life’s leases

LYRICS
We turn our back and face away
Turn from the sun
The day is done
Earth turns around… another day
Then darkness falls over us all
The ground lays low
The trees stand tall
We come to know
The shadows
In the dark of night
Start to lose our sight
Reminding us
Be kind to the blind
Please show us the light

LYRICS
I’m starting to see you bleed
Your true colors
It’s me that has to plead
Yet, you that hollers

How ’bout we plant a seed
See what we can breed
Harvest what we sow
Reap what we will know

Now, that we’ve grown so many
Why don’t we give some away
Even if just a penny
Is spent in the right way
… is sent in the right way
A cent sent in the right way
Yes-sir-eee
Smells good to me
The scent of a cent sent

bookmark_borderFollow A Star

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my destiny
To clearly see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wonder how far
To follow the star

No gold, frankincense or myrrh
Who could ask for more
Though I’m not a wealthy king
In the heart, all of my love I bring

How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow a star
Plan to make it my odyssey
To finally see
On the road, my destination —
To infinity
How bizarre
To wander so far
To follow the star
(chorus)

LYRICS
As a matter of fact
The front and back
In relativity
Are exactly
The same
Your reference frame

The start or stop
Bottom or top
In relativity
Are exactly
The same
Your reference frame

Why have a fight
Over left or right
In relativity
Are exactly
The same
Your reference frame

The distance
In frame of reference
The individuality
In you to me

LYRICS
As they pick up the fear
Kict-it into gear
Overdrive
Plunge and dive
With hands as fast as lightning
World’s a little less frightening
With wit to cut to the quick
Sense of humor’s sick

As they pick up the fear
Better seer clear
On the verge
Adrenaline surge

As they pick up the fear
Virtue hold dear
Overdrive
Staying alive

LYRICS
Is it up… to the little things
To trip you…
Is it up… to the little things
To trip you up

Somehow got to be now
Obstinate to obstacles
Laugh if it tickles
Hammered to sickles

LYRICS
If you offer your hand, I’ll take it
If you offer to help, we’ll make it
’til death do I die I won’t quit
You and I (Touch the sky)
Partners in mortality
Yours in eternity
Mine in brevity
Humanity

Servant to your authority
Of freewill and autonomy
… though in brevity
Humanity

Soul-dier in unity
Thriving on giving
Among the living
Humanity
(In brevity)
