LYRICS
Get less confused
Get infused with the love potion
Blonde, brunette and red head
A rainbow spread

Laissez faire
Love is in the air

Come light the fuse
Infuse the notion of a love potion
Straight, curls or in dread
A rainbow spread

LYRICS
Have you ever watched politicians
That think they’re magicians
And, from out of the hat
Pop! A weasel

Like Siegfried and Roy
Oh, boy
For sure
Montecore tore
Don’t you dread another hole in your head

Got yourself a tiger by the tale
Wail!

It’s like catching the measles
When dealing with weasels

LYRICS
Holocene

Hol·o·cene
adj.
Of or belonging to the geologic time, rock series, or sedimentary deposits of the more recent of the two epochs of the Quaternary Period, beginning at the end of the last Ice Age about 11,000 years ago and characterized by the development of human civilizations. See Table at geologic time.
n.
The Holocene Epoch or its system of deposits.

Ever since they made freedom agin’ the law
They committed the crime of all time — turning me into an outlaw
Suppose we gotta claw
Tooth and nail
Or end up part of the Holocene tale

The Holocene extinction scene
Hello halo
Hollow promises I guess
Versus
The Holocene… know what I mean?

Ever since they choose not’ta take pity
On those embracing liberty
They committed the crime of all time — turning me into an outlaw
Suppose we gotta claw
Tooth and nail
Or end up part of the Holocene tale

This song was inspired by reading Facebook posts about people’s pipes freezing up… while I was writing reggae music.

Pipes that have moving water through them will not freeze… if in doubt, just leave a trickle running ’till tomorrow. If your pipes do freeze, turn off the water at the source… for when they thaw… the cracks will, too… and you will pump water onto your floor. (ps real bummer… especially if you’re sleeping.) If you have a hot water heater, you need to keep an eye on the feed… since the hot water heater will fill up with water… there will not be moving water until the tank calls for more water. This can leave the cold water intake on the tank exposed to prolong cold.

When in doubt, apply the trickle theory to the love.

LYRICS
I can’t see clear
Until I’m outta here

’till the shackles are gone
I can’t go wrong
Free of the ball and chain
Before I can roam again

Where do we go from here

I can see your fence
And, I can see past
To a fence past tense
And, we’re free at last

We can see clear
To a place outta here
We can be free
There’s a place… it can be!

Thank you for putting me here, my Lord
For that I am
I can bare witness to this
Yes, I can

For that I am

’cause I’m here
And, it’s now
That I am
And, it is
I can bare witness to this

Thank you for putting me here, my Lord
So, I can hear, and I can testify
I saw it with my eye
I eye I

You, yes, you
You gave me the ability to be
With that came the ability to see
That I can

That would be tragic
If you fell victim to black magic

“From there I shall come to judge the quick…
And, the dead.”

Lively up yourself
Don’t be no dread

That would be tragic
If you fell victim to black magic

For you mental health
Don’t cast a spell on yourself

That would be tragic
If you fell victim to black magic

You are my sunshine
The only sunshine
Bring love and feeling fine

That would be tragic
If you fell victim to black magic

Abracadabra the white magic
Cure the ill… heal the sick

LYRICS
Did you know
God’s all around
Did you know
God’s easily found
Did you know
God does abound

Right before your eyes
You can come to realize
God’s all around

God can be found all around
Did you know
Are you aware
God is everywhere
Did you want to feel an inner peace
An outer peace
Do you want to share everything
Less the dread
(God’s not dead!)

God’s all around
Wanting to be found

Don’t ever let it be said
That you went to bed
Without giving the proper kudos
About the Good News

If you want to see
If you want to be

She’ll be with me
She’ll be with you, too
’cause She’s in plain view
She doesn’t want to hide
She doesn’t want anywhere near the darkside

God’s everywhere
If you declare
God will be there
If you justify
If you testify
I saw Her with my eye

God is here
God is now
No need for “somehow”

LYRICS
If you are living in fear
Thinking the end is near
Let it be forgot
’cause it’s not
But, can’t you see the tragedy
Living in slow, lingering misery

There could come the day when you pray
The End is near
But, for now there’s nothing to fear

So, if we can steer clear
We can see through tragedy
We’ve got to see it
We’ve got to do it
Follow through
Me and you… let’s do!

We can make every day a little brighter
We can make love a little tighter
We can do it if we choose
I don’t think anyone would rather lose?
