Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Z,z,z,z,z,z….
Oz,z,z,z
I’m thinking
Wake-up!
Start blinking
I suppose
You can’t see
With your eyes closed
I suppose
It’s fantasy
With your eyes closed
I’s blink your lids
Try to get hold of our id’s
Open our lids
(Open our I-lids)
And see reality
I’m thinking
Wake-up!
n’ start blinking
Open our I’s
To the rise
Of reality
Realize
Reality
Z,z,z,z,z,z….
Oz,z,z,z
It’s OK, Dorothy… we know
It was just a dream
Dorothy,
Now you see
All is not what it may seem
You’ve dozed
In Oz

LYRICS
Here we go
But I don’t know
If we know
Which way to go
Did you see
Lemmings running into the sea
Makes them stiff
Buffalo over a cliff
After all
Is our boat afloat
Over a waterfall
Know what I mean
As we’re drifting downstream
Runaway
Train and tracks part ways
Stop my feet
From this dead end street
Oh, now I get it
There’s our exit
Oh, no, we won’t quit
Until we make it
No hesitation
For destination

LYRICS
Ummm…
Will it be this millennium
You know…
The one we’re in
I’m not hearin’
You’re believin’
I’m not hearin’
Your believin’
Let me see…
I’d even settle for a century
The one in which we happen to “be”
Hope to see us being
If time is growing shorter
Maybe it’d be better
If we got started
Sooner
Rather
Than belated
Hated hated
And, loved to love

LYRICS
Searching for humanity
Glowing with sanity
Quick with logic
And to aid the sick
Kiss of compassion
Always in fashion
Praying for the praying
… just saying
Careful when ya kneel
Fully grasp the deal?

Quick with logic
And to thin the thick
Kiss of compassion
Always in fashion

Quick with logic
And to light the wick
Kiss of compassion
Always in fashion

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Here I go
Getting a little retro
With my, “Peace, Love & Understanding”
Well…
What’s so funny about it
Anyway?
Love to hear/here
What you have to say
(today)
Make it clear, dear
Instead of hearsay
All serious about
Money, money, money
But what’s grabbing me:
What’s so funny?
Rather skies sunny
If I’m going to “sale”
The see
So can you tell me
What’s so funny?

LYIRCS
I’m not sure you’re understanding
… not sure you can take this standing
Might want to put down
Your coffee
Might want to sit down
n’ listen to me
Might want to put down
Your drink
’cause I don’t think
You understand
What’s at hand
They’re blowing up the dam?
Damn!
(The damn dam)
Hope you know
How to go
With the flow
Looks like there going to be a flood
UP to your ears in mud
On a whim
Learn to swim?
Getting down
Getting down now
Getting down with going down
Going down stream
Know what I mean
Current in the current

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In the grand scheme
What do I mean
Will it seem the scene
I’ve seen
Is left as a dream
Feel lame
Try to explain
The nightmare they hold dear
Try to explain
The pain… insane?
Why paint your dream in fear
Can’t have a spark
And it dark
Me, I’d rather see the light
In spite of spite
The light
I mean low to no mean
In my dream
Should I be a mortal
Left in total
As an immortal perpetual dream scene
If that’s how I’m seen…?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Flash of a wink
Twinkle of an I
Too much think sink
Blink and bye-bye
Ship adrift at see
Can’t “be” through the fog
Trip from destiny
To clear the clog
Dog days of summer
In the Fall of life
Too nigh is slumber
This life is rife
Last that I checked
I’m not dead yet
Before the memory’s wrecked
Going to think all I can get
Flash of a wink
Going to think
Twinkle of an I
Going to think
Until the I’s rise

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The was light
The night was dark
On a lark
Thought I might
Have come down to Earth
Home of my birth

World spinning round
Ain’t slowing down
Hard to tell
If she’s doing well
Have come down to Earth
Home of my birth

Hand of man
Does all he can
TO get his thrill
From “Kill, kill, kill!”
Have come down to Earth
Home of my birth

Mother Earth
Please forgive
For we know not
What we did
Have come down to Earth
Home of my birth

LYRICS
No castle walls nor cannon balls
Invade the space
Of freedom’s place
No king reigns over (Be the lover)
Freedom rains down (On our town)
Discover minds blown (Seeds sown)

The last is first (Quenched thirst)
Meek inherit the Earth (New birth)
In the eyes of skies
The glorious “why’s”
Absorb the wise

LYRICS
Is this really what we’re talking about
So, if, and or but…
What about about?
If we should be
If we would be
If we could be
Talking about… “about”?
Is that what we’re really talking about?
Did I get lost?
Am I at a loss?
Is this what we discuss? Thus…
Or am I at a loss, dazed and confused
Brain abused?
All this time I thought it was obvious
For the both of us

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Toss of a coin
You pro or con
Flip of the coin
Head and/or tails
I’m setting sail
To a place where there’s space
For the human race

I don’t want hate encroaching
On the habitat
Please the favor of approaching
Love, imagine that

Through a dense forest
A jungle at best
Don’t want to have to claw
Don’t want to have to gnaw
Tooth and bone, let alone
When you get to the heart of the heart
Feel free to start….

LYRICS
How come?
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
Were sitting on a fence
Tweedle Dee fell off… hence
Dumb was founded
Dumbfounded abounded
It seems to me
Tweedle Dee’s destiny — one with Humpty Dumpty

All the King’s horses
And all the King’s men
All the King’s horses
Know where men have been
All the King’s horses
And all the King’s men
No never put together again
No never put together
No matter the “whether”
… never
Free dumb’s brain forever restrained
Banned from this land wrought with free thought

LYRICS
I don’t know if i’m starting to get it
If you help me out, I’ll give you the credit

What goes around comes around
I guess I’ll wait/weight
A heavy burden
Anticipate
What is certain

I don’t know if i’m starting to get it
If you help me out, I’ll give you the credit
Back to the wall
Hammer will fall
Carry the wait/weight
A heavy burden
Anticipate
What is certain

I don’t know if i’m starting to get it
If you help me out, I’ll give you the credit
Seven year itch
Karma’s a bitch
wait/weight
A heavy burden
Anticipate
What is certain

Only one rule to hang with me
Everybody’s got to be free
Eternally
To infinity
