bookmark_borderHoley Cow

LYRICS
The wind’s all messed up
Have we blown it now?
We’ve put the holey in cow
Butt, your mind’s made up
To your error won’t bow
Oh please don’t have a cow
Look what we’re left with now
Gotta make it through somehow

Temperature’s going up
Did we cook our goose
Tie the hangman’s noose
Butt, your mind’s made up
Though in error you choose
Tighten up the noose
Look what we’re left with now
Gotta make it through somehow

See sea risin’ up
Do you swim real strong
Can you do it for long
Butt, your mind’s made up
Do you care if you’re wrong
Playing your swan song
Look what we’re left with now
Gotta make it through somehow

bookmark_borderFlipping

LYRICS
Bottom’s on top
What did they say
Flipping won’t stop
It’s the new way
When I get to The End
Will I recognize the start
Feel as the wounds mend
With a complete change of heart

Bottom’s on top
What did they say
Flipping won’t stop
It’s the new way
As times get turbulent
Will sadist be jubilant
Foresee to be mercy
With the time their lent?

Bottom’s on top
What did they say
Flipping won’t stop
It’s the new way
Do I die and rise above
Or sink to the depths of hell
Become one with the rhythm of love
If it turns out well

LYRICS
I think I love you
Always there with something new/knew
Enlightened point-of-view
Bearing fruit strong to the root
I’m going out on a limb
… I am

Love for a day
Can’t take it away
In the dreams we keep
While we sleep

I think I love you
Always know what things to do
Enlighten with a clue
Branching out without a doubt
I’m going out on a limb
… I am

Love for a day
Can’t take it away
In the dreams we keep
While we sleep

LYRICS
Think way back
To where we begin
Relive it
Over again
Now attack
When we’re living in
Let’s give it
All we got?
Sure, why not!
And by all means we’re not done
See what all is yet to come
If there’s one thing we know for sure
Rest assured there’s more future

2. Sink way back
To early thoughts
T’s all crossed
And the I’s have dots
(pre-chorus and chorus)

3. Blink, it’s gone
Fleeting sound of song
Won’t last long
Loving life can’t go wrong

LYRICS
Bring on wisdom
Less kingdom
Chaos it
Not random
An arm’s length from Armageddon
Fare the well gates of hell
Time did tell

Bring on wisdom
Less stardom
Chaos is
Not random
Procrastination?
It’s too late
It’s know/no surprise
Need to get wise
No more lies

Bring on wisdom
Chaos is
Not random
When does a sage come of age
Why does logic still outrage?
Turn the page

LYRICS
Supposedly
It’s easy
1,2,3
(It’s as easy as 1,2,3)
Had to think twice
How to freeze some old ice?
How to pick fossils
Out of thin air
Bury them back under earth
Somewhere?

Supposedly
It’s easy
1,2,3
(It’s as easy as 1,2,3)
Freeze permafrost
With methane un-lost
Bring the coral reef
Permanent relief
How to pick fossils
Out of thin air
Bury them back under earth
Somewhere?

Supposedly
It’s easy
1,2,3
(It’s as easy as 1,2,3)
How to un-fall
Where timbers stood tall
How one can tell
Where snow once fell
How to pick fossils
Out of thin air
Bury them back under earth
Somewhere?

bookmark_borderAbout the Reign

I asked Sidd:
Is there a limiting factor to the size of raindrops… that will prevent them from becoming lethal?
“Availability of water vapor and intensity of updrafts within a cloud determine the size of a raindrop. Larger drops tend to result from the vigorous updrafts within a thunderstorm and fall faster than smaller drops.”
Sidd replied:
dunno,
but if it freezes, yes, it can kill you.
i imagine around a centimeter is about as big as raindrops can get …
would break up bigger than that for sure. i imagine there are studies somewhere
… never heard of raindrops killing anyone, but hail, yes.

LYRICS
About the reign of rain
We can train to sustain
Remain
As for the strain of rain
Use our brain to maintain
Remain
But you know
When the temperature’s low
The laws of physics please
Use to flow
Now won’t go
Sure did turn solid
Cause you know
When the temperature’s low
Liquid tends to freeze
What a shock
Feels like a rock
Sure did turn solid
Hell, the rain won’t kill
But, the hail will

2. Though rain’s reign goes on
You know it won’t last long
Till hail raises hell
How much longer is hard to tell
(chorus)

bookmark_borderUpdraft

LYRICS
Particle derived raindrops arise
The mass amassed depends on size
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

Evaporate
At an ever increasing rate
Participate
A pounding precipitate
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

What goes up must come down
Bob and weave… avoid the crown
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

The moral of the story
Don’t belittle
The vision and the glory
Of Chicken Little
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

LYRICS
It’s a bit of a shock
You might say alarming
It’s a bit of a shock
You might say disarming
Are you telling me
Things can’t be
The way things
Have always been
Wait! Tell me again

2. It’s a bit of a shock
Though trite, insight
It’s a bit of a shock
Why mock what’s right?

3. How much time’s on the clock
It’s a bit of a shock
A hard place and a rock
It’s a bit of a shock

Looky there
A blank stare
So unaware

Might get me on the ball

Can’t walk, I’ll crawl
Catch me as I fall

How do I fare?
Looky there

Too much to bear

Do you mind if I hang on
To your shirt tails
By the tips of my fingernails

Do you mind if I hang on
Hand in hand
I’ve come to understand
We’re flying by the seat of my/your/our pants

Don’t mind if you tag along
Please hang on
By any means but mean

bookmark_borderThe Momentum of Rain

As rain becomes more massive, it will have greater momentum when it hits. It will cause more damage to crops, plants, soil, asphalt, concrete, roofs, solar panels… and I bet if you use your “head” you can think of other impacts.

LYRICS
A hard rain is falling
The mass x velocity
Is starting to kill me
Driving right through me
More momentum
Sore cranium

A hard rain is falling
Frequency n’ intensity
Is starting to kill me
Driving right through me
More momentum
Sore cranium

Storm warning is calling
Rain drops with severity
… it’s starting to kill me
Driving right through me
More momentum
Sore cranium
