bookmark_borderA Lot Like You

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
From an external point-of-view
I’m a lot like you
You’ve a spine
Just like mine
You’ve two eyes
I do, too

From a third person’s point-of-view
I’m a lot like you
Walk upright
In the light
Then we might
Sleep all night

An independent point-of-view
Points out I’m a lot like you
Opposing thumb
…teeth and gum
Size of brain
Near the same
From an external point-of-view
I’m a lot like you

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What a relief
Though rather brief
A relief… a brief relief
Could I bother you
For two, too?
Another relief would do
A bit of a respite
A relief habit
Confirmed my belief
In relief

What a relief
Though rather brief
A relief, nonetheless
No matter how frivolous
A relief
Though rather brief
A relief

LYRICS
If you’ve been holding on too long
This just might be your song
(So join in and sing along
… this just might be your song)
If it weren’t for the Earth holding on to you
Well…
Exactly what would you do?
[If it weren’t for the Earth holding on to us
Mother Nature’s thrown under the bus]
In the fiction
Without friction
Can you hide from the slid?
Sailing off into infinity
Flailing off from humanity

LYRICS
One and the same…
One and the same thing
Or some other offering?
Pigs taking wing
Going over like a lead zeppelin
Offering a lead balloon… loon
Taking the world down along the ride
… out of pride?
Or a black heart hide
Crash and burn
Yearn?
I shall not yield
Shield!

LYRICS
That soul is empty
Lack in empathy
Just a deep hole
Lacking sympathy
They say misery
Likes company
Let’s fill ’em up
Their half-empty cup

That heart is empty
Lack of empathy
Just a black hole/whole
Lacking sympathy
They say misery
Likes company
Let’s fill ’em up
Their half-empty cup

LYRICS
Can you believe
He just wont’ quit
Can you believe
Complete bull$hit
I guess That’s just part
Of the part and parcel
The kit and kaboodle
Throwin’ fit

The Yank-ee doodle
Ain’t so dandy
Caging kids
And offering candy
The insanity
By-gone rarity
Into the padded cell?
Oh, well
All’s well

There’s one thing I’d hate
If you’d to call me late

LYRICS
Stepping outside to take a look
At the cover on this book
Try to understand
What’s in this man
What was, is, and going to be…
Me (me, me, me)
It’s time to judge this book
By its cover
(Take a look)
Uncover
Discover
I know underneath
Bones and teeth
Under skin and bone
Undercover is alone
Blood n’ guts…
… n’ nuts
(Going nuts)
Stepping outside to take a look
At the cover on this book

LYRICS
Forgot to get off in time
I’m thinking…
I’m along for the ride
Best to hop off
If there’s a next stop

LYRICS
Roll up
Sit back
It’s a hell of a show
Rock on
Blow up
A political hoe
Digging dirt
Rigging hurt

Stock up

Get on
Stand up
A political woe
Digging dirt
Rigging hurt

Digging in the dirt
Digging up the dirt
Pigging out the hurt

Going out on…
Going out on…
Going out on a limb
But, if you were him

And when the wind blows
Everyone knows
The bow will break
Baked in the cake
Baby comes tumblin’, tumblin’ down
