LYRICS
Who wants to go for a ride?
A glide… slide…
On a surface like glass
As objects in motion pass
So, fast
Solid, liquid, gasssss
And you find you’re not alone
In the twilight zone
Yes, you’ve found you’re new home
In the twilight zone

Who wants to come on a ride
Inside
Outside
Reach critical mass
As objects in motion pass
So, fast
Solid, liquid, gasssss
And you find you’re not alone
In the twilight zone
Yes, you’ve found you’re new home
In the twilight zone

LYRICS
I don’t want to be careful
All frigid with the fragile
Like a bull in a china shop
The plan is going to drop
Free the spirit
Dream we’re near it
Bring on the merit

I don’t mind being mindful
Let thought out-of-control
Like a bull in a china shop
The plan is going to drop
Free the spirit
Dream we’re near it
Bring on the merit

I don’t wait to procrastinate
To elate
Up the rate
Like a bull in a china shop
The plan is going to drop
Free the spirit
Dream we’re near it
Bring on the merit

LYRICS
When out in front
Don’t look back
The liter’s runt
Leader of the pack
Crank it up
Goin’ gets tough

Leader of the pack
Take it down
Just the beat
Turn around
To complete

LYRICS
Solid, liquid, gas
The state of affairs I’m in
Is changing fast
Future, present past,
The time we’re living in
Is changing fast
We can change the way
If we want to
We can make the day
To something new
(Give us something to do
So we know what they knew)

Solid, liquid, gas
The state of matter we’re in
Is changing fast
Future, present past,
The time we’re living in
Turning to past
We can change the way
If we want to
We can make the day
To something new

bookmark_borderFronts Confront

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Overhead the fronts confront
Overheard North wind’s whisper
Mother Nature’s sister
A cold affront
Well, they don’t make winters
Like they use to
Ole Jack Front can barely do dew
Going to mess the fall feeling
Since the temperature’s gone reeling
Overhead the fronts confront
Overheard North wind’s whisper
Mother Nature’s sister
A cold affront

A song about climate change and extreme weather events.

LYRICS
Adrift on ships of peril
A rift monkeys in barrel
Rescue you
It’s the least you can do
Rescue us
It’s the best we can do?

Adrift on ships of peril
A rift donkeys at burial
Rescue you
It’s the least you can do
Rescue us
It’s the best we can do?

Adrift on ships of peril
A rift honkeys in denial
Rescue you
It’s the least you can do
Rescue us
It’s the best we can do?

LYRICS
Fear not
The valley of shadows
Fear not
And making of windows
The king that wears no crown
Is sure to have your back
Evil backs down
The devil’s in the sack
Don’t look back

Fear not
The valley of shadows
Fear not
And making of windows
The king that bears no crown
Shield shall not yield
Wrestle the devil down
With a kiss…
Signed and sealed

LYRICS
Sirens sounding seriously
Dreams going up in smoke preposterously
If the alarm is alarming
Maybe it’s time to react
We know our harm is harming
That’s just a matter of fact

Sirens sounding seriously
Dreams going up in smoke preposterously
If the harm is alarming
Maybe it’s time to react
We know our harm is disarming
Nature’s under attack

Sirens sounding seriously
Dreams going up in smoke preposterously
When the harm is disarming
Maybe it’s time to react
we know our farm is harming
Nature’s going to fight back

A song about climate change and extreme weather events.

LYRICS
A shooting star
A comet’s tail
Am I going too far
( –> to far)
Let’s raise the bar
We’ll never fail
Am I going too far
( –> to far)
While we still feel young
Before we get too old
Our hearts’ song can be sung
As love’s story is told

The sun’s our star
The human’s tale
Am I going too far
( –> to far)
We’ll have no mar
When we set sail
Am I going too far
( –> to far)
While we still feel young
Before we get too old
Our hearts’ song can be sung
As love’s story is told

LYRICS
If most haven’t heard
Do you find it absurd?
I cry
Gone dry
Flooding in the basement
Flaming in the kitchen
Wondering what God’s grace meant
Moanin’ and bitchin’
(I cry moanin’ and bitchin’)

If most have not seen
Is it quite obscene?
I cry
Gone dry
Flooding in the basement
Flaming in the kitchen
Wondering what God’s grace meant
Moanin’ and bitchin’
(I cry moanin’ and bitchin’)

If most haven’t felt
The hand they’re dealt
I cry
Why die?
Flooding in the basement
Flaming in the kitchen
Wondering what God’s grace meant
Moanin’ and bitchin’
(I cry moanin’ and bitchin’)

A song about climate change and extreme weather events.
