Writing and Recording “Care To Dance?”

LYRICS
Should I go over there and ask her to dance
Take that chance?

Don’t want to come off as some jerk that wants to twerk
Why? I don’t want to be that guy
Want to be next to you in shinning armor
(Maybe even arm in arm… or….)

Should I take a chance and ask her to dance?

Not gonna hassle by asking to hustle
Not even to do the bump
(Might be going to far if we bump rumps)

Should I take a chance and ask her to dance?
Should I go over there and say do you care…
To dance

Would don’t need to slow dance
We don’t need to go that far
We can just get into our own space
And understand at most… just hold a hand

Should I take that chance
Go over there and ask her to dance
“Do you care to dance
I thought I saw you cast a glance
Would you care to dance?”

Should I go over there
(Instead of sitting here with a blank stare)

Care To Dance?.mp3

LYRICS
Pipe down and listen up!

They say change is going to come
They say change is on the wing
Won’t that be such a funny thing
’cause somehow the funny now is none

Girl, maybe we better run
Head west… out run the setting sun
Be no rest ’till we pass the test
Chasin’ change before we’re undone

Oh, no!
Don’t you think that varmint’s gottta go

Don’t you think we oughta twerk the clerk
The Clerk Of Courts
Twerk the Clerk Of Courts of course

An eruption of corruption
And it’s coming to a town near you
Ejaculation manipulation
And it’s coming all over you

Don’t you think oppression’s just gotta go
Oppression
Oh, no

Get it when they put the screw to you
Ya getta poignant view

The challenge of the challenged
Where idiots dictate as hypocrite

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!
To your birth on Earth
The fools are king-of-the-hill
Where there’s motivation, they’ll kill

Oh my God! Down this path do we plod?
Blind leading blind leading unkind leading unkind

For heaven’s sake! Don’t we know what’s at stake
If at the wheel, we could only stay awake

Anticipation
I just can’t wait
Anticipation
Out of the gate

Through hesitation
To penetration
Cease cessation
Seize elation

Coordination
Walking a tight rope
Eternal damnation
Consider the scope

Elevation
Taking it higher
Light. Combustion
We’re on fire

Before I can wonder if the peace will cease
The ponder changes to can I get a second lease
Poof! There it goes….

Before I can flounder like a fish out of water
The scoundrel launders scivvies of daughters
Poof! There it goes….

When the induction of corruption seeps into your life
What you wouldn’t do for putty and putty knife
Poof! There it goes….

LYRICS
Putting what’s right in the light
Can’t say black’s in the gray
Doing harm out of spite
Frolic about as we may
… as we might

Don’t go “But, what do I know?”
We know what’s wrong and right
Don’t go “But, what do I know?”
We know the essence of difference

Yielding daylight contrasting night
Providing freedom for us to say
Giving justly without slight
Thankful for each and every day

LYRICS
It’s the matter of “is”

There I was just sitting… minding my own business
When the voice from above spoke to me
“Why would anyone want tranquility?”

There’d be no satisfaction in habitation
There’d be no thrill in the strive to stay alive
Just try to not let the thrill overspill and kill

How can I stay sitting in the business of success
Balancing the scale between worthless and excess
On this day, I heard Her say to me
“You know my availability?”
I’m aware you’re always there
“Record this for all posterity”
I won’t rest ’till I do my best

LYRICS
They use to tune in, turn on
Find out about dropping out
Of the rat race

What’s your case to partake in the rat race?

The movers and shaker
Tend to be the fakers
Not to say we shouldn’t set the pace
Not dead… looking in from outer space

Train your brain for the haze of the maze
Much to our surprise we have x-ray eyes
I can see right through
And, you can, too
X-ray I’s

LYRICS
Do you find the world
… spinning round and round
Helps to hold you down
Are you lost in space
… never to be found

The physics of the heretics
Is ripping us all to bits

Is down to earth
Really what it’s worth
A fetal position — curled
Better off to lace
Your soul amongst the space

LYRICS
Though the sky had turned gray
There was a ray that found its way
A beam of sunlight
That might brighten the day
Despite in spite

Enlighten the fight
The strife of life
Shine on what’s right
Cut through like a knife

Rescue us now
Save us all somehow
Funnel to the light at the end of the tunnel
Our souls shimmer as you glimmer

LYRICS
Soooo….
This guy who told me he’d be Mayor walks by with a smirk on his face
While this other guy walks by as he’s giving me money, says “This is an insult. I wish I had more to give.”

Which way would you want to live?

Which one has better taste
Which one is less a waste
Which one is wasting space

His 2 cents x 8 +1
Where do you want your soul to run
Grow to know the flow… +1

A dime, some time
A nickle (thinkin’ Lincoln)
and my two cents
… two sense

LYRICS
When I stepped outside
… tell ya I ain’t lying…
I really, really, really thought I saw a lion

Chorus
Maybe a figment of my imagination
But certainly not an exaggeration

When I stepped outside
… tell ya it was a jungle…
All this political mumbo jumble

Chorus

When I stepped outside
… tell ya no place to hide…
Spreading diarrhea like some kind of panacea

Chorus

When I stepped outside
… tell ya looked into my hide…
Look deep inside… no place for hate to reside

Chorus

When I stepped outside
… tell ya I ain’t lying…
I really, really, really thought I saw a lion

God bless the world… we sure need some
A dressing of Christmas blessing
For all men

The play has begun. The work is done.
A confessing and a blessing
For all men

God save the scene. It’s grown to mean.
A blessing of peace and understanding
For all men

The play has begun. The curtain hung.
The Age of the “world is a stage”
For all men
