I Can See Clearly

Posted on June 1, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Though the water’s clearly clear
Does it look blue to you?
Though the sky’s clearly clear
Does it look blue, too?

Is it clearly clear
Your personal point-of-view
Is relativity a rarity?

Though the days are the same
Are they going past fast
Though the nights are the same
Does it feel like they don’t last

Chorus

From where you’re at
Does the Earth look flat
The sun going around
From sunup ’til sundown

Chorus

LYRICS
Man,
This place is like Vietnam
Get your napalm balm on
And agent orange management
Under control
Let’s roll!
Sergeant,
Attention!
Didn’t you know what I meant?
Not a celebration
Of attention deficit
Not yet
At attention, citizen
You’re under invasion
Snap out of then, Men
Into zen
You’re in the men with two arm-me’s

Royal Pain

Posted on May 25, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
If you want to be a royal pain in the a$$
You’re first in your class
Though I appreciate strife
Evoking life
I’d say enough for today
On your way
Didn’t make an appointment
For a fly in the ointment
If I meant
To bang my head on cement
That’s where I would have went

Full royal flush
Thus
Pain in the a$$
Alas
Pain in the a$$

The Cusp Of Learning (The Verge Of Knowledge)

Posted on May 20, 2018May 20, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
On the cusp of learning
At the break of day
Hope to grasp the meaning
Before it goes away
On the edge of knowledge
Coming on high-noon
Hope to gain advantage
To realize it soon

On the cusp of learning
Please don’t slip away
Hope at last the meaning
Before the end of day
On the verge of knowledge
Let me see the light
To the depths of mind, dredge
See the light before night

Can I see the light?
Can I can I can!

My In Memoriam (Ode To Harry Stash)

Posted on May 15, 2018May 16, 2018 by admin

My In Memoriam Part 1.mp3

LYRICS
As I’m watching time
Pass into the past
I’m thinking
It’s a shame life doesn’t last
But then I pause…
And think again
Maybe it’s worth rememberin’
Better take it all in
While I can

As I’m wondering if future
Is going to show
I’m thinking
It’s a shame I don’t know
But then I pause…
And think again
Maybe it’s worth rememberin’
Better take it all in
While I can

There’s nothing like being human
(say it again)

Queen Be

Posted on May 13, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
In a sweet deal
The Queen Be
Gets the honey
But is it real
Could it be
The money’s funny?

Could it be those she’s among?

Might end up getting stung
An ironic sort-of thing
Be-ing the victim
Of a sting
Can you picture being framed
As you wallow in the gallow
What are you going to do
When the executioner is you?

LYRICS
Getting down to the core
Is there any more
At the depth of root
Mute
Point
Tip of the iceberg

Down at the core
Explore for more
Explorin’ in
Explorin’ in for more
At the core

Daybreak

Posted on April 20, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
At the “break” of day
Had to put it back together
When the sunset set
It was “hard” to get over
SO, I took out my guitar to play
And, say what I had to say:
“Never forget
Live with no regret
As the days pass by
Always wonder why?”

May another day
Come our way
And as light
Turns to night
Let us play away

Tripping On Time

Posted on April 20, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Whack!
Tripping on a crack
Over the international dateline
Tripping on time
Fulfilling desire
Down to the wire
Whack!
Just like that
Tripping on a bump
In my lifeline
Tripping on time
Fulfilling desire
Down to the wire
They say
My days are numbered
So long
As they’re not numb-ered
Tripping up time
While I’m mine
Fulfilling desire

Going Alone

Posted on April 17, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Going alone!
(Are you going alone?)
Into the great uncharted known
… the great charted unknown
Further out than any soul
Ventured to stroll
[Breathing noises]
Breathe out
Breathe in
Far up memory lane
Kind-of hard to explain
If you’ve never been
Again
Is a mere possibility
If you didn’t get to see

A Speck

Posted on April 3, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
They call him “salt of the earth”
Ever since his birth
But, aren’t we all mineral… after all?
Some say we’re made from clay
They don’t kid ’bout Adam’s rib
Hard to believe they made ‘er Eve
From dust to dust to dust to dust
Ohhh, the greed… the lust
To dust to dust to dust
Heaven or bust!
Just a hitchhiker on this mass
Don’t mean to be a smacked ass
But, when ya teach hypocrisy class
I just don’t know how long I’ll last
A passenger of the orbit
Really hoping to absorb it
If our days are numbered… spread wit

From dust to dust to dust to dust
Ohhh, the greed… the lust
To dust to dust to dust
Heaven or bust!
Amen
