Posted on by admin

LYRICS
None for the worse
At the very best
None for the worse
How ’bout the rest?
It started back at the beginning
Been happening ever since
Started to gain understanding
Life as evidence

None for the worse
At the very best
None for the worse
How ’bout the rest?
Ends up it keeps going
If you strive to stay alive
The secret is in knowing
How to thrive staying alive
Alive, and well….

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is it time to celebrate
Or should I hesitate
Wait?
Time is of the essence
Bring future to the present
Maintain an earthly presence
Being we represent
Beings, we represent

Is it time for corks to pop
Or no, maybe not
Stop?
Time is of the essence
Bring future to the present
Maintain an earthly presence
Being we represent
Beings, we represent

Is it time to party down
Yes, please turn up the sound
Found!
Time is of the essence
Bring future to the present
Maintain an earthly presence
Being we represent
Beings, we represent

Hawk perched in a dogwood tree
With an eagle eye
See what she can see

bookmark_borderGet Some / Sum

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Rat in a maze
Chicken in a cage
Dog and pony show
… you know?
When we find the correct sum
We get some
When all is said and done
Get sum/some

Minds’ in a haze
Can’t find the page
Going to and fro
… you know?
When we find the correct sum
We get some
When all is said and done
Get sum/some

Vibes’ out of phase
The world’s a stage
Dive into the flow
… you know?
When we find the correct sum
We get some
When all is said and done
Get sum/some

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If this is merely a near miss
And we get to walk away from this
At least now in our possession
Having learnt a lesson
Wake up!
Learn from my mistake
Can’t blame fate
Stay awake
(Don’t want to make the same mistake)

If this is merely a close call
And we get to walk away from it all
At least now in our possession
Having learnt a lesson
Wake up!
Learn from my mistake
Can’t blame fate
Stay awake
(Don’t want to make the same mistake)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Be it over the hill
Under the wall
Through it all
In the after all
To heed the call
Through the wall
… eye on the all
Keep my eye on the all
You may only live once
So, you better think twice
Squeeze life from every ounce
Remains the best advice
… enjoy a slice

Be it over the hill
Under the wall
Through it all
In the after all
To heed the call
Through the wall
… eye on the all
Keep my eye on the all
I may only live once
So, I better think twice
Squeeze life from every ounce
Remains the best advice
… enjoy a slice

LYRICS
Hold on tightly
Until you let go
Hold on tightly
And, then… let ‘er go
They say it’s all in the timing
How to think with instinct
The way is in the reason and rhyming
And how you give to live
… live to give

Salt and pepper
Sugar and spice
You sure taste nice
Built and dapper
Knock on wood

Lovely to meet
From head to feet
Emotions run
Under the sun
When two are one

LYRICS
Do you think it’s safe to say
That we like it this way?
We like it this way!
Nemesis in our own decay
Do you think it’s safe to say
We made it this way?
We made it this way!
Hubris, has it come to this?
Died in the name of pride
Liar lied!
Do or die
Said I

Do you think it’s safe to say
The good ole days are on the way?
They’re on the way!
Nemesis in our overstay
Do you think it’s safe to say
That we like it this way?
We like it this way!
Hubris, has it come to this?
Died in the name of pride
Liar lied!
Do or die
Said I

How about that
A pat on the4 back
Thanks, my friend

Are upstanding
They never stop

LYRICS
If they won’t believe
What they can’t conceive
Maybe it’s better that way
They can’t comprehend
No, don’t understand
What it is what you say
Maybe it’s better that way
Well, bit my tongue
Battle of words
War is won/one

Can’t get their head ’round
Tongue tied and lips bound
It’s probably better that way
They can’t comprehend
No, don’t understand
What it is what you say
Maybe it’s better that way
Well, bit my tongue
Battle of words
War is won/one

Do you know how far
To the nearest star
Can you tell be how far
Can I catch a ride to the other side
Gravitational tide

Surfin’ spacetime

Do you know how far
To intelligent life
Void of hate and strife

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Slipped, tripped, and tricked
Into love again
I swore I wouldn’t be singing
About love again
I swore I wouldn’t be singing
Another love song
What went wrong?

At least this time around
At least this time I’ve found
It’s not me falling

Don’t get me wrong
I love love when the love is good
When the love is good
I’d sing it if I could

Slipped, tripped, and tricked
Into love again
I swore I wouldn’t be singing
About love again
I swore I wouldn’t be singing
Another love song
What went wrong?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The pendulum starts to shift and slide
On a ride to the other side
At the top it comes to a stop
Into focus
At the end it starts to descend
Right back toward us

Heard what you said
Looked ahead
Ducked my head
I’m just in time
The pendulum starts to shift and slide
On a ride to the other side
At the top it comes to a stop
Into focus
At the end it starts to descend
Right back toward us
