LYRICS
What do you think happened to your brain
To make you behave so strange
Is it in your genes… you’re mean… you strain
Turned into nails on the blackboard… people cringe

Is there hope you can be saved
Before you reach your grave
Is there a chance you’re less enraged
Relief from how you behave?

Chorus

What do you think happened to your heart
When it comes to unconditional love… you forgot
Over time your goodness did depart
Then, you left those you love to rot

Chorus

LYRICS
Happy emancipation to you
Gonna make a proclamation or two
Justification avenue
Coming to a city within view

Always too early to begin
Telling lies, hatred and sin
It’s never too late to begin
Feeling young inside again

Chorus

It’s always too early to begin
Stealin’, robbin’, rapin’ and hatin’
It’s never too late to begin
Beloving the living of lovin’

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Funny how one thing leads to another
Before you know it… it’s a chain reaction
Honey draws the flies more than vinegar
Suppose the choice lies in your selection

Chorus
Do you wonder how the other half lives
You might be surprised how much they give
Do you wonder, “What is my purpose?”
Is it more tan to be you, 2, 3, 4… for all of us

Sunny one minute cloudy the next
Before you know it… it’s a climate action
Money draws the lies out of context
Impose their will as some sort-of fiction

Chorus

Bunny goes from hunted to hunter
Who’s gonna die… who’s gonna live
The problem is not that perplexed
We will cause our own extinction

LYRICS
Off the frying pan and into the fire
(Transpire)
Ouch!

Mary had a little lamb and tied it to a heater
Every time it turned around
It burned it’s little seater

Sitting on a hot plate
Sitting on the stove
Temperature is temperate
What about the love?

Chorus

The climate change
Man has induced
Exponential
Runaway train

Chorus

Could we manage
To reproduce
Expressional love
Just the same

Chorus

Ouch! Are we insane
Bringing on the pain
Ouch! Do some remain
That want good to re-gain

Ouch!.mp3

The song was inspired by a heat wave during the last week of May. I tried sitting on my usual songwriting wall, but the stone was so hot it burned my rear. If we could only love as good as we pollute?

Would you try to rescue a princess

Do you pray for enlightenment from above

Look under the hood
See if all is good

If you think it’s out of reach
Maybe if you stand on your toes

If you think you can reach
You will grow
If you think can teach
Then, any which way the wind may blow

If you believe in the search
Matters not the Emperor’s clothes

When the tide rolls out
May it carry cares away
When it rolls back in
May you start new again

When the tide rolls out
May it ferry (fairy) you away
When it rolls back in
Well… may your youth return

Let the seagull fly
Across the sky
Let you imagination… occupy

LYRICS
Are we really this close
Yet really that far?
Oh, yes, oh, yes… we really are

The emperor’s new clothes
Seeing things bizarre
Oh, yes, oh, yes… they really are
Not

Experiencing the house of mirrors
Exposing your inner terrors
Going major from the minors
Growing de jour toward grandeur

LYRICS
My favorite star
You shine like the sun
Though nearest… yet so far
You are the same and one

We know without you we can’t grow
Though trite… you are The Light
The fusion of your engine… we can only imagine

No matter seed or womb
We start and end in a tomb
While in between
You sprout out “green”
Then, you bloom

LYRICS
Let’s get real close
But, give me room to breathe

Your industrial noise pollution
Isn’t part of a harmonious solution

Less of a dose
My consciousness retrieve

Why spit n’ shit
In another’s face
Just bring disgrace
On the human race

Let’s get real close
But, give me room to breathe

Stead a love infusion
Peace and understanding lotion
Passing through any hate illusion
To a felling of no one losing

LYRICS
We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

In case you’re a menace to society
Lock you up… throw away the key

We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

If you’re lucky
The happy monkey
With a purple crayon
The wall you write upon

We’re gonna put ya in the cellar tonight
Then, lock the door real tight

RESPONSE
Hey! You may wanna hesitate
Before you cast your fate
Before you mess with the charm of…
A karma

I was sitting at the corner of Market and High Streets. Two former courthouses are the location. What is Barnaby’s today, was the original courthouse. In the basement, the windows are still barred on the holding cells.

LYRICS
Can’t you see
The difficulty
With transparency
Maintaining any modesty

Chorus
See what everyone espouses
Living in glass houses
See what everyone exposes
Living in glass houses

You can see
Dirty laundry
Lay sight
On the people of might
Sneak peak
They’re really quite meek

Chorus

Left alone
Or cast the first stone
Doesn’t really matter
If you shatter
Your glass home

SONGWRITING IN WEST CHESTER, PA

LYRICS
Won’t you play me some of that nice music
The kind that makes the kids skip quick
Won’t you play me some of that music
That’ll make me part of the cosmic fabric

Chorus
The ones that make you feel alright
Songs to make the shadows bright
One that will get ya through the night
Song to lift my spirit to the highest heights

Weave me into the dreams of the universe
With the rhyme and tempo for a catchy verse
Something I can grasp… not too perverse
That repeats in my head like a blessed curse
