Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Don’t let the get up let up
Can’t let the get up let up
Won’t let the get up let up
Till the get up gets up and goes
Regardless of the throws of the prose
Won’t let up on your get up
Till it goes
If it makes ’em dance
Doing Dos Y Dos
Do they hear the prose?
Ahhh who knows?
That’s why I…
Why I get up

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I heard the news today
The newscaster did say,
“You can’t tame the flame.”
It’ll never be the same
She said:
Old Lady Leary
Left the lantern in the shed
I shook my head and said:
“I’m growing weary
Of knowing dead.”

On the news the next day
“Wildfires did have their way.”
You can’t tame the flame
We’ll never be the same

No knews / news in a big way
The flames dance on and play
You can’t tame the flame
She’s the master of our game

LYRICS
Was it this hot before?
’cause I don’t think I can take any more
Notice we’re on fire?
There’s no denying
Situation’s dire
(We’re on fire!
We’re on fire!)

Remember ole Al Gore?
Should’ve listened to him a little bit more
Call out a denier liar
’cause no denying
Situation’s dire
(We’re on fire!
Denier liar!)

Wonder what’s in store
If all the more we just ignore
Raise alerts higher
I ain’t denying
Situation’s dire
(Denier liar!
We’re on fire!
Alerts higher!)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How can you keep arguing
When all the truth is staring you
Right in the face
This time
This place
Right in my face
This time
Displace
The human race
Ruled this place
For a time
What a crime

How can you keep arguing
When all the truth is staring you
Right in the face
This time
This place
Right in my face
This time
Displace
In every place
They left a trace
Every time
What a crime

How can you keep arguing
When all the truth is staring you
Right in the face
This time
This place
Right in my face
This time
Displace
Mid all their waste
A bad taste
All the time
Such a crime

Such unnecessary
Death penalty
Right in the face
This time
This place
Right in my face
This time
Displace
Mid all their waste
A bad taste
All the time
Such a crime

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Standing on top of the world
Watching the future unfold
Past was present… now told
Another turn round
Another day old
Astound

Standing on top of the world
Watching the future unfold
Past was present… now told
360 degrees
Maintaining a hold
Thanks, gravity

Standing on top of the world
Watching the future unfold
Past was present… now told
Can’t wait to rotate
On living, I’m sold
Anticipate

Standing on top of the world
Watching the future unfold
Past was present… now told
On our axis spin
Low and behold
We’ll do it again
We’ll do it again!

LYRICS
Holdfast
Having a hard time getting a grasp
Holdfast
Get an impression but will it last
All shall pass
Grains of sand
In an hourglass
All amass
Will / we’ll withstand
Until we pass

Outlast
The day ahead will be behind
Outlast
The wisemen said “of kind mind”
All shall pass
Grains of sand
In an hourglass
All amass
Will / we’ll withstand
Until we pass

Alas
Got what I came for and so much more
Alas
What came before can endure
All shall pass
Grains of sand
In an hourglass
All amass
Will / we’ll withstand
Until we pass

Hammers fall
Impacts all
Do you find it riveting
Resisting pivoting
After all
Hammers fall

Hammers fall
Impacts all
Is it unbelievable
We’re all so gullible

Should’ve thought to think ahead
Beats a hammer on my head

Impacts all
After all my id did
Who am I to kid?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Oh so sorry
To hear your story
Sounds just like mine
All was going fine
Till they ignore
Nothing more
They’ll defy you
Till you’ll implore
Maybe more
They’ll define you
And, me too

Are you leery
Of growing weary
Well so am I
And here is why
Till they ignore
Nothing more
They’ll defy you
Till you’ll implore
Maybe more
They’ll define you
What to do?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You better come in
A storm is coming
You better come in
And take warning
Ride from hell
Ring the bell
Alarming
Pull out stops
From roof tops
I’m shouting

You better come in
You better come in
New norm is coming
By the morning
Ride from hell
Ring the bell
Alarming
Pull out stops
From roof tops
I’m shouting

You better come in
You better come in
Be born again
Isn’t happening
Ride from hell
Ring the bell
Alarming
Pull out stops
From roof tops
I’m shouting

LYRICS
Dealing with this
With this and that
Fighting like dogs
Like dogs and cats
Span the chasms
Calm the spasms
In the last chapter and verse
Save the universe

Fighting like dogs
Like dogs and cats
Bridging the gaps
Plotting the maps
Span the chasms
Calm the spasms
In the last chapter and verse
Save the universe

Fighting like dogs
Like dogs and cats
Making the road
Low on the load
Span the chasms
Calm the spasms
In the last chapter and verse
Save the universe

LYRICS
I wish I could
I know I should
Appreciate small talk
Or a walk in the park
Holding hands after dark
But I must concede
That’s not my speed
I’mmmm…
Into double time
Up the volume some
Come undone
Puzzle peace’s
Life’s leases

I wish I could
I know I should
Appreciate small things
Hearing wedding bells ring
Listening to choirs sing
But I must concede
That’s not my speed
I’mmmm…
Into double time
Up the volume some
Come undone
Puzzle peace’s
Life’s leases

Orbit
Closest star
Won’t quit
Let’s go far
Turning tears into years

Baby
Star’s moving
Maybe
Revolving
Leaving fears in arrears

Can’t you see
Surely

Our years are in gears

Filled it before
Fill it some more
You haven’t changed your way
To and including this day
Until you have no voice
’cause to chance you left choice

Exploited before
Exploit it some more
I haven’t changed my way
To and including this day
Until I have no voice
Having left chance you left choice

Used it before
Use it some more
We haven’t changed our way
To and including this day
So now we have no voice
We left our chance to choice

LYRICS
IN your mind’s eye
DO you see a sea
Do you see a shimmering sea
From see to shining see
As you fly
You fly high
Through the sky

In your mind’s eye
Can you hear what’s going on here
Do you hold dear what is near
As you wave good-bye
As you fly
You fly high
Through the sky

In your mind’s eye
Can you touch much of a feel
Is the sign unsealed for real
You’re your mind’s I
As you fly
You fly high
Through the sky

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Did you catch that
Important fact?
Sea level’s rising
While rivers are sinking
Is it surprising
Man wasn’t thinking

Did you catch that
Important fact?
Temperature’s rising
And glaciers are shrinking
Is it surprising
Man wasn’t thinking

Did you catch that
Important fact?
Frequency’s rising
No doubt Man’s linking
Is it surprising
Man wasn’t thinking

Did you catch that
Important fact?
Is it surprising
Man wasn’t thinking
The water’s not safe for drinking
There’s no water left for drinking
Won’t much matter… no one’s left drinking
