Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Half-past eleven
Or a quarter till two
This ain’t heaven
What on Earth shall I do?
Half-past eleven
Or a quarter till too

The inside’s out
The outside’s in
Can’t figure out
Where to begin
Half-past eleven
Or a quarter till two
This ain’t heaven
What on Earth shall I do?
Half-past eleven
Or a quarter till too

The upside’s down
All turned around
The real riddle
Where’s the middle?
Half-past eleven
Or a quarter till two
This ain’t heaven
What on Earth shall I do?
Half-past eleven
Or a quarter till too

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Talkin’
Won’t we let the good times roll
Rockin’
Till the good times roll

Tryin’ hard to forget
The national deficit
Clowns to the right
Jokers to the left
Take flight
See light
Nimble and deft
Let it roll
Talkin’
Won’t we let the good times roll
Rockin’
Till the good times roll

Getting out of my mind
All that’s unkind
And out of the heart
Any hate
It’s not too late
I swear it’s not too late
Take flight
See light
Nimble and deft
Let it roll
Talkin’
Won’t we let the good times roll
Rockin’
Till the good times roll

LYRICS
Out of the mist
Comes nature’s kiss
Right between the eyes
Comes a surprise
Arise!
The wrath of reap
Apprise!
Depends on your “so”
You know…
Too deep
Best you go

Out of the mist
Comes nature’s fist
Right between the eyes
I realize
Arise!
The wrath of reap
Apprise!
Depends on your “so”
You know…
Too deep
Best you go

Next on the list
Comes nature’s bliss
Right between the I’s
Neutral-I-ze
Arise!
The wrath of reap
Apprise!
Depends on your “so”
You know…
Too deep
Best you go

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you happy
Where you’re livin’?
Or rather be
In position?
North of hell
South of heaven
Can you tell
If you’re even livin’?
Fixated on the rearview mirror
It’s becoming a little bit clearer
Racing toward yesterday
Are you happy?
Can you say
Are you happy?
Come to play
Are you happy?
’bout today

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Out of the ashes
Into the wind
Born to live
Again
Eyes and I lashes
Seen what has been
Start my heart
Begin
Starting my heart
Gets me thinking
Why not take part
Beacon blinking
Save the sinking!

Throw us a line
Pull us in
Just in time
A win-win
Eyes and I lashes
Seen what has been
Start my heart
Begin
Starting my heart
Gets me thinking
Why not take part
Beacon blinking
Save the sinking!

Lend me a hand
To understand
Let it sink in
And in!
Eyes and I lashes
Seen what has been
Start my heart
Begin
Starting my heart
Gets me thinking
Why not take part
Beacon blinking
Save the sinking!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Day by day
We say, say, say
More
Just like before
The same old thing
Won’t help the birds sing
Calamity
Repeating our history
Thought it easy to see?

Day to day
We say, say, say
Same
Ain’t it a shame
The same ole story
All for our glory
Calamity
Repeating our history
Thought it easy to see?

Still today
We say, say, say
Talk
Forego the walk
Insanity
Our infinity
Calamity
Of humanity
Thought it easy to see?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
One way in
One way out
We begin
Just about….
Left of right
From the middle
In to light
From a bubble
In to sight
See the light

One way in
One way out
We begin
Just about….
Day to day
Live to give
Gain insight
Give to live
In the light
Through the night

One way in
One way out
Way we end
The same route….
Went feet first
No more thirst
Out of sight
Say goodnight
Into light
Eternal light

Hammer on?
Hammer off?
Hammer on and on and on
Gotta run under the sun

Weighs on you
So I choose sky blue

Hammer on and on and on
Gotta play while there’s day
’cause it’s found underground
Weighs on you
So I choose sky blue
Choose sky blue

Hammer on and on and on
Gettin’ insight in the light
No maybe’s pushin’ up daisies
Weighs on you
So I choose sky blue
Choose sky blue

LYRICS
Went to the well
But the well ran dry
Only drop around
Falling from my eye
I could just cry
I could just cry
Go to the well
Do tell
Do just as well
To yell
Shout out, “Oh, well”
Oh, well!

Go to the well
Well, go and try
A drop to be found
Falling from you eye
Could you just cry?
Could you just cry?
Go to the well
Do tell
Do just as well
To yell
Shout out, “Oh, well”
Oh, well!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When the music’s pumping
Hips begin to sway
Once the hips are pumping
The band will play and play
The band will play and play
The band will play all day
Into the night
Under fading light
In the spotlight
… of romance
Dance, dance, dance

Now that we are sweating
Must be on our way
Know there’s no regretting
With the band play
As the band plays all day
The band will play all day
Into the night
Under fading light
In the spotlight
… of romance
Dance, dance, dance

LYRICS
Can you hear the rain
On the window
And did you know
It gets harder every day
In every way
When you say
In vain
Our shadow
Falls on the road
The storm keeps pounding
n’ rounding round the bend
The End
Out from
Under a dark cloud
Time to state our stance
Aloud
When you say
In vain
Our shadow
Falls on the road

Pretty soon
Is starting to loom
I’m pretty sure
That pretty soon
You won’t have to go
Down the shore
… no more
You know
Won’t have to go
Down the shore
… no more
No matter what you do
It will come to you
Won’t go down the shore
… no more

Pretty near
Is almost here
I’m pretty sure
In fact, crystal clear
Don’t have to go
Down the shore

You know
Won’t have to go
Down the shore

No matter what you do
It will come to you
Won’t go down the shore

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
There’s a place you could go
That we all know
Was the best place around
Keeps turning round
And there’s still no way
To slow her down
No, there’s no place like home
No, there’s no place like home
Wherever you roam
No, there’s no place like home
Well, damn it
There goes our planet

So the human race
Yelled “Let’s trash this place!”
They tore it up
They tore it down
But she just keeps spinning round
No, there’s no place like home
No, there’s no place like home
Wherever you roam
No, there’s no place like home
Well, damn it
There goes our planet

Do you care to share

Do you care to share
Are you fully aware

There’s a shortage ’round here
Care to share?

Do you care to share
Whatcha hoardin’ in there?
Do you care to share
Are you fully aware
Did you hear
There’s a need to feed ’round here

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Does anyone anywhere know
How far to go?
Does everyone everywhere go
Too far to know?
May I suggest
The answers to your riddle
Is in the middle
Of your chest
… about the rest….

Does anyone anywhere care
Where we should start?
Is everyone everywhere aware
Start with “at heart”?
May I suggest
The answers to your riddle
Is in the middle
Of your chest
… about the rest….

Does anyone anywhere part
From the above?
To give a part of your heart
And share the love?
May I suggest
The answers to your riddle
Is in the middle
Of your chest
… about the rest….
