LYRICS
We’re having a helluva time
… a helluva time
(And would) love to hear you chime in

We’re back on track
Building up some steam
Are you ready to hold steady
… or careen?

“This, that, and the other thing.”
Thought was slim
On the whim
“This is what I bring:
This, that, and the other thing.”

LYRICS
Look at me now!
Look, Ma! No hands
Look at me now!
Can you hold my beer
Is there method to the madness
For I confess to knowing less

Look at me now!
Look, Ma! No hands
No “understands”
No one understand
Look at me now!
Can you hold my beer
Nevertheless
Is there method to the madness
For I confess to knowing less
No less
Is the Great Hope in blind faith
Or the broad scope of bitter taste?

LYRICS
Running late
Are we running too late
At any rate
If we’re running late
Why do we wait?
If we’re running late
Why do we wait?
The gears of time are cranking
To gods of youth no thanking
No time to ask why
We’re letting time pass by
Enough smelling the roses
And pausing for poses
All the while one supposes
We under appreciate late

LYRICS
Please don’t take it personally
Are you sure that you can see
Blind to the facts
with your personal attacks
Showing no mercy

A little too tall
Step on the small
All too often going wild
On the meek and mild

Please don’t take it personally
Are you sure that you can see
Blind to the facts
with your personal attacks
Showing no mercy

A little too daft
To get a grasp
Last will be first
As first goes last
Showing mercy

Sliced into clear
Shaved the fear

Expanding prisms from the breaking glass pass
At the speed of light
Delight

The Secret Formula

LYRICS
If you’re scared and you don’t know why
What to do… if I ask you?
Kneel down under the sky
Look deep down inside
Along for the ride
One thing’s for certain
The final curtain
Before I die
Prior to when I expire
Curtain fell (fall, fall, fall)
Still I will
My will
Will dwell
For the final curtain
Before I die
Prior to when I expire

They discover the secret protocol to restore NAD+ and save the world. However, blackhats at the big bad big tech companies want to silence them and destroy the formula. The scientists’ special agent is determined to get the formula through. Prior to the final curtain falling, good will triumph over evil!

Posted on by admin

Doesn’t it seem like it just happened yesterday
Now, how did yesterday move so far away
Such a long time ago (You know)
Such a long time gone
Time keeps marching on

Doesn’t it feel like youth flashed pass in a foray
Wow! How did yesterday move so far away
Such a long time ago (You know)
Such a long time gone
Time keeps marching on

Aren’t you glad we’re moving into the to day
Now, here… today… and, everything is OK
Such a long time ago (You know)
Such a long time gone
Time keeps marching on
Such a long time gone

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about growing old and figuring out that you have declining NAD+. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is one of the most critical pieces to your immune system puzzle. After contracting COVID and then COVID-long haulers syndrome, I thought I was going to die. Then, I found some scientists in South Africa that figured out what was wrong with me. After boosting my NDA+, not only was I cured of COVID-long, I also felt 20 years younger. How to boost your NAD+.
