bookmark_borderBeing Human

LYRICS
We breath in
We breath out
There’s no doubt
In and out
Answer a question,
If you would please
Is being human
A fatal disease?

A heartbeat
Carries blood
From our head
To our feet
Answer a question,
If you would please
Is being human
A fatal disease?

And we learn
We are born
Then we die…
It’s no lie
Answer a question,
If you would please
Is being human
A fatal disease?

This is very interesting
… it’s very interesting
Deflating perpetuating
While elevating
Underneath the myth
Uncover mask and wax
Expose woes
To the light… take flight
Expose the woes to the light
They’ll take flight

LYRICS
Over land and over sea
Understand and see
Over sand, through tree
Understand and see
Freedom is free
It’s bred in you
It’s bred in me
Forget about destiny
An unalienable right
Through the darkest night
Insight hold tight
Gnarl teeth and bit
Haste the taste
No time to waste
We’re free to be free

LYRICS
What do you do when you’re overdue?
Run as fast as you can
What do you do when you’ve got to get through?
Run as fast as you can

We run and we run
With all our might
We run and we run
’til we see the light

What do we do when they #uck-up the view?
Run as fast as you can
What do we do if their aim is true
Run as fast as you can
(chorus)

What do we do to lead the way?
Run as fast as we can
What do we do all night and day?
Run as fast as we can
(chorus)

bookmark_borderThis Is It?

LYRICS
This is it, believe it or not
They say, “you get what you pay…
For.”
though sometimes it’s more —
How much you can endure
This is it. Quit if a bore
Transit to alure
And ensure
“What’s in store”?
Then the admission:
“Well worth the price of admission!”
In excess of a 3-ring-circus
The fairway’s way
Get to know the sideshow
Going down slow….

LYRICS
Knowing I love you
Knowing you love me, too
Gets us through the things we have to do
I love you

Know what I mean
Got to cook and clean
When the spaces in between
Are seen

To fill the spoon and fork
Got to do all kinds of work
Almost more then one can take
… but when we get a break….

LYRICS
Zombie apocalypse*

*No 3-D glasses required
(You’re soaking in it)
You and me —
Hairless apes with lips
As time transpired
Became full of shhh… hit!
Prerequisite
Required
Dialed
Dire
A respite from dimwit
Suffer fools gladly?
Sadly, I had to quit
As they claim to own “alone”

LYRICS
I really don’t want you
To think and misconstrue
What I say or do
But it’s really hard to get through
No matter what I say or do

Askew in point-of-view
How to bring you to?
What’s to say or do
’cause it’s really hard to get through
No matter what I say or do

Try to shine the light
Try with all my might
Insight is up to you
’cause it’s really hard to get through
No matter what I say or do

LYRICS
Oh won’t you please
Send in the cavalry
Peace dove release
White hat civility
(Have we) Lost our grasp on reality
Really?
Yippie yi yay
Yippie i owe
Underway
Line to tow

How about a knight
In shinning armor
Shield us from fright
The mob rule clamor
(chorus)

What we need is a cowboy
To save our scalps from savages
From the modern man city-boy
And the resources he ravages

LYRICS
In this day and age
I can only understand
Body language
The demand
On verbiage
Is out of hand
The strain on the brain
Meaning’s down the drain
Don’t need to be a sage
To understand
Body language
Compile a smile
With a twinkle in the I
Eye spy

LYRICS
So far
It just gets more bizarre
You’re not kidding
The proof is in the pudding
A fact’s a fact
And that’s that
Once it’s gone
Can’t get it back
The fool lost his cool
Misplaced his mental tool
Now, it’s starting to dawn
Everybody keep your calm
The longer you grow old
The less thought is bold

LYRICS
IF you’re eating free samples
Taking more than ample
Now, the after taste
Results in such a waste
Move on. Move along.

When you’re at a buffet
“Are your eyes bigger”
Do they say?
Now, the after taste
Results in such a waste
Move on. Move along.

Should they say “glutton for punishment”
Do you know what is meant
Represent?
Does the after taste
Result in such a waste
Didn’t… take the hint

What happens when an angel comes alive
Wisemen realize
… and arrive
Into the wishing well

Wishing well

What happens when an angel comes alive
Is given birth
Will there be love
And, peace on Earth
Into the wishing well
Angel
Wishing well

Quite sure
All Men are created like Her
Imagine… in Her image
The more you age
The more it fades
Parts ways
Hold on, son
