LYRICS
It looks like our lifeboat has sprung a leak
King of makes our prospects look weak
A little less wailing
A lot more bailing
If we’re in for any smooth sailing
There’s a red sky tonight
Dance in delight
Comes to morning
Better take warning

Seek the wake of a far off vessel
While soul to soul we start to wrestle
Search for hope along the horizon
Upon the slop of a social uprising
There’s a red sky tonight
Dance in delight
Comes to morning
Better take warning

Who would have thought we’d be in such a mess
Begging and pleading, “Oh, S.O.S.”
Wouldn’t be so bad if our ship had sailed
Got to admit it’s sad it’s failed
There’s a red sky tonight
Dance in delight
Comes to morning
Better take warning

LYRICS
The only route
Facts without doubt
Inevitability
Of redundancy
Oh, it’s plain to see
The high road is easy
So, I do not know
Why take the road that’s low?

The only route
Love without doubt
The rational
Unconditional
Oh, it’s plain to see
The high road is easy
So, I do not know
Why take the road that’s low?

It’s no big feat
Agin’ oneway street
Best get to know
Direction of the flow
Oh, it’s plain to see
The high road is easy
So, I do not know
Why take the road that’s low?

LYRICS
When it goes to extreme spectator raider
Time to say “I’ll see ya later ‘gater”
I’ve got better things to do
Then participate in hate with you
The bird flew

When it comes to aggravator stimulator
I’m not one for procrastinator emulator
I’ve got better things to do
Then wait to fade to “late” with you
I’ve got better things to do
Then waste and fade to “late” with you
The bird flew

When it comes to innovator escalator
I’m all for the congratulator stimulator
I’ve got nothing better to do
Then shine some love from above with you
The cat knew… the bird flew

When it comes to imagination innovation
I’m all for stimulation invigoration
I’ve got nothing better to do
Then shine some love from above with you
The cat knew… the bird flew

LYRICS
You know it was just a joke
Don’t ya
Know that it was just a joke
You know I ain’t that kind of folk
Don’t ya
No, I’m not that kind of folk

Though I’m not bragging
I’ve had a fine upbringing
Don’t mistake my extravagant taste
As highfalutin waste
… in haste

I’m on my knees begging
For your understanding
Don’t mistake my extravagant taste
As highfalutin waste
… in haste

It might get mind boggling
As this is just the beginning
Don’t mistake my extravagant taste
As highfalutin waste
… in haste
… no ti’s much more than that
On the pedestal of the fat cat

LYRICS
It takes grapes to make wine
While both depend on sunshine
It takes health for peace of mind
I need both to feel fine
Thankful that my fingers work
And the lyrics are a perk

It takes eight to make nine
While both depend on a sign
Takes self-wealth for peace of mind
I need both to feel fine
Thankful that my fingers work
And the lyrics are a perk

It takes two to fight
While neither one is right
Takes peace of mind for insight
I need both to see the light
Thankful that my fingers work
And the lyrics are a perk

LYRICS
How did they throw me such a curve ball
How did I end up behind the 8-ball
Of all the gall
I’ve got to roll
When stuck between a hard place and a rock
Roll!
“Oh, #uck,” you scream
The rat race cleaned my clock
Roll!
Role of soul — roll!
End over end to begin
Can’t be fickle
’bout a perfect circle
Can’t resist
A subtle twist

LYRICS
Seen it before
Hard to ignore
Right next door
Schism of the “ism”
Racism
Through a prism
You know
… the colors of the rainbow
Fascism
The Right do wrong
… same old song
Activism through altruism
Bridge the schism
Futurism in mesmerism
Lyricism of humanism
Bridge the schism
Criticism, dogmatism, egotism, hedonism, narcissism, pessimism
Gives way to optimism
Giving way to optimism
Opt in to optimism
Thick in optimistic

LYRICS
The curse of the hearse:
They said
Feed your head
’til you’re dead
There’s imagination in hibernation
The logical rational — toll the bell
There’s still life in these bones
’til there’s still-life in these bones
Angels coming to take me home
Eventually for me
The curse of the hearse
Until then
One more verse
Or take it long
One more song!
One more long song

LYRICS
Some sort of anomaly… really?
Living proof
Poke and prod
It’s no spoof
Living proof
Poke and prod
Oh my God
It’s the truth
Living proof
Can’t never could
Would always could
As I should
Living proof soothsayer
Why say nay
If asked a player?
I say
Step right this way

LYRICS
In the after birth
I found my worth
IN the after birth
All can’t be me…
Logically
I mean…
Here I am
In all my glory
But, after all
I couldn’t be me
Without you — all
My individuality
Depends on we
Lightning up our are
Lightening up our are
