LYRICS
If life does concern
You live and you learn
How to discern
* Whether you’re dead
Time to feed my head:
[A A# B]

* What’s been said

* What you dread

* … how to butter your bread

* Where a horse is led
(Do you think you can make her drink?)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Three sixty-five and a quarter days
Hard to split in so many ways
Yet I find it hard to see
Why add one after three?

So, I have to hesitate
When I say February has twenty-eight
Still I find it hard to see
Why add one after three?

I get four quarters make one
Though I’m still left wonderin’
Where the date came to mind
February twenty-nine?
[You know… why not January 0…
… or bonus Christmas on December 32, too?]

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What went up
Use to come down
Now there’s no logic
Anywhere around
The clocks are running backwards
In reverse takes you forward
Left left right
Right left out of spite

What goes around
Use to come around
Now there’s no reason
Anywhere around

What comes to life
Use to die
Don’t ask why
Death we do defy

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Some magic place on this grand ole earth
There is a unicorn giving birth
Suckling rainbows and moonshine flows
With pretty maids all in a row
Why be mean and make fun of it
After all, look at all your bull$hit
Though shattered dreams
Shred reality’s seams
The dilemma of enigma

Some special place in this grand ole world
There is a fountain of youth… you never grow old
Get a new skin for living and living
Go back in time… begin again
Why be mean and make fun of it
After all, look at all your bull$hit
Though shattered dreams
Shred reality’s seams
The dilemma of enigma

LYRICS
Jeopardize with lies
And ties
With the underground
Real eyes realize
Grounded found
Cast the die
(Alas, the die is cast)
Cast the dies
Real eyes realize
Freedom dies
Jeopardize
One size
Fits all
The rise
The fall

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
And, here we come
Run far from dumb
Got sick of it
Run! Idiot!
What a crock of $hit
Throwing a hissy fit
Sorry, I’ve got to run
’cause this surely ain’t no fun

And, here we go
Gotta run to know
Far from that crap
No… don’t look back
Run toward the light
Strive for insight
Arrive in total bliss
’cause life’s blowing a kiss

And, here we go
Gotta run to know
All day and night
To make it right
Run toward the light
Strive for insight
Arrive in total bliss
’cause life’s blowing a kiss

LYRICS
Slip and fall… fell flat
So what?
I’m back
When am I going to learn
Don’t look back
The chance is going to burn
Under slack

Fell off my high horse
Of course
The worse
(chorus)

Down to the last yard
Push hard
Unmarred
Think I’ve come to learn
Don’t look back
The chance will never burn
Under slack

LYRICS
And, in your deepest thought
There’s not a not
Can’t never did anything
Let’s see what can can bring
Though the pit of the stomach
Is in knots and an ache
In the deepest thought
I think not a not
And, in my deepest thought
There’s not a not
And, in the deepest thought
There’s not a not
Rid of brain rot
Thankful I’ve got
Not a not
Tongue not caught
Fight not fought
Not a not
Temperature’s hot
Energy… a lot
Not a not
Seek what’s sought
Learn what’s taught
Not a not

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In a hurry to get where I’m going
Though I”m already there
Vision blurry… though I’m there
I’m unaware
Lost the battle but won the war
Makes me wonder:
Could have done more?
Take two
Give four
Make too
Live more

Lost in the battle caught up in lore
Makes me wonder:
Could have made sure?
n a hurry to get where I’m going
Though I”m already there
Vision blurry… though I’m there
I’m unaware
Take two
Give four
Make too
Live more

LYRICS
I don’t know… have we been here before
Not quite sure… circle ’round once more?
On my way to roam
Roam away from home
Roam away to find my way
Roam away to find my way home

Seems to me… we’ve been here before
Feeling more… circle back no more
On my way to roam
Roam away from home
Roam away to find my way
Roam away to find my way home

Now I know more than before
Circle know more
Circle no more
On my way to roam
Roam away from home
Roam away to find my way
Roam away to find my way home

bookmark_borderThe Road of Life

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
On life’s long, long road
Are we all growing old
Is it always “has been”
Or will we grow young again

Is your life half empty
Or is your life half full
Should I try to garner pity
Be the push or be the pull
Should I try to offer pity
Be the push or be the pull

On life’s long, long road
I’m on top the world
There’s still “what’s to be”
Left inside of me
Growing old at the same rate
Same rate just a different date
Relatively
I’m not aging
No, not me

Lucky #13
The clock strikes thirteen
If you know what I mean
Tick-tock
I am the clock

Tick-tock
Keeping my own time

Stuck between 11 and 14

LYRICS
Know if you’re in power
It’s come to the hour
Of our
(Come to the our)
When all is said and done
All have lost
Or all have won
All one
Can’t be just mere ample
Must lead by example
Pure people

Players, play along
Turning off to on
Sing-along
Sing a long
All have won
All one

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What do we live for?
The right to die!
What do we die for?
The right to try!
And we learn as we grow older
The beauty is in the “I” of the beholder
On the road of wisdom
One learns
Fool with the bull
Get the horns
Once the fool
Grasp the bull
By the horns
Be born

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In between
The friction in your seams
Coming clean
No fiction in your genes
Born into poverty?
It could be worse
Oh the irony
It’s the rich with a curse

Fame’s misfortune
There’s no place to hide
Always searchin’
To die for suicide
Born into poverty?
It could be worse
Oh the irony
It’s the rich with a curse

Some little bastard
Comes at you hard
The son of a bitch
Eats the rich
Born into poverty?
It could be worse
Oh the irony
It’s the rich with a curse
