LYRICS
It’s come to that time of year
When daylight and darkness are near
In equity
In equality
It’s come to that time of year
The changing of seasons is here
Fall into fall
Autumn knocks
Equinox
Pour another Oktoberfest beer!

It’s come to that time of year
The air is crisp and clear
It’s come to that time of year
The rushing of memories held dear
Fall into fall
Autumn knocks
Equinox
Pour another Oktoberfest beer!

LYRICS
It turns out
It’s easy
It’s easy to be
#uck their destiny
We shape our reality
And as it turns out
“To be or not to be”
Is easy
Be
It comes naturally
Dash to add a dash of veracity
#uck their inevitability
We shape our reality
If Mother Nature and the gods
Are at odds
Shift the shape
Of the hairless ape

LYRICS
Seeing the world through different eyes
Does this mean I’m going to grow wise
DO you wonder why everyone dies
Will I grow old before I grow wise?
Low and behold you’ll never grow old
As long as you’re wise beyond your years
Life takes hold warms hearts grown cold
Bringing joy to your tears suppressing your fears
And another year passes by
Wise ones don’t wait to die
Why not be the first to get by
To try

LYRICS
Split second
Destiny beckoned
Split second
The soul reckoned
There I stood saying to myself
Did you bargain for your health and wealth?
Is the existence — “to be”
Up to me
Is it
Exist

Nano beat
Destiny fleeting
Nano beat
Soul seeking
There I stood staring at myself
Did you bargain for your health and wealth?
Is the existence — “to be”
Up to me
Is it
Exist

Milli bit
Destiny’s hit
Milli bit
Quick with wit
There I stood saying to myself
Did you bargain for your health and wealth?
Is the existence — “to be”
Up to me
Is it
Exist

Notoriously big
Larger than life in death
Larger in width and breadth

Chug and swig
Celebrate your victory
Tolerate your history

LYRICS
Not a joke
The center is evaporating
Fire’s stoked
Extremes are exasperating
Our island
I am thinking is sinking
Down

No mirage
The ground is disintegrating
Failed marriage
Red & Blue are separating
Gone to hell
Rally troops, alarm bell
Sound

LYRICS
If you can’t join ’em
Guess you better beat ’em…
… to the punchline
… in the nick of time
If they don’t know a joke
Dry humored limey bloke
I’m prone to go to the zone
Whacking the funny bone
Perplex with their reflex
Filling the gaff with laugh
Make ’em laugh ’til they cry
Postponing “Till the day I die!”
Killin’ it thrillin’ it to life

LYRICS
Living be
Living’s easy
Put quite simply
Once I was born
Didn’t have to learn
Sound the horn
Of feel the burn
Once given birth
Fell to this Earth
Didn’t have to strive
To stay alive
Nothing to do with conceit
My heart knew to beat
Begin, began, begun
The lungs knew… begun
Begin, began, begun
To be one
To breath the breeze with ease
Come to life void of strife
Saw the light to insight

LYRICS
What happens
When your wavelength hits the atmosphere
What happens
Turn to blue from clear?
Is it comforting to know
All the colors of the rainbow?

What happens
As the sun drops late day
What happens
Does it bend or break your ray
Is it comforting to know
All the colors of the rainbow?

What happens
As the day turns to night
What happens
Does the wavelength make red light
Is it comforting to know
All the colors of the rainbow?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What has become of freedom?

With rights come responsibilities
It’s not all just, “Me! Me! Me!”
(Rights and responsibilities
From see to shinning see)
If you don’t respect
Your role in society
In retrospect
It’s your hypocrisy
You’ll own your own
Long, long, long
Litany of legacy
The proud shroud
Of hypocrisy
Wear it well
As you’ve made your will
… your will until

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can you get me the skinny
The facts on the fat cats
IF the load is too heavy
If the facts are too many
Then are they cats
Or are they rats?

Can you give me the lowdown
The facts on the highfalutin
If the load has overgrown
And fat cats are overblown
Then are they cats
Or are they rats?

How about something upbeat
Half-full glasses for the masses
A well deserved treat
To dream complete
The flight of the dove
The release of the love
Then are they cats
Or are they rats?

LYRICS
I think I’m starting to like the motivation
If the pain’s to gain appreciation
I must be departing form the stagnation
If it’s plain to gain appreciation
And we all get along
Falling in love with the same song

Are you starting to like the stimulation
To refrain from strain realization
Stimulate before it’s too late imagination
If it’s plain to gain appreciation
And we all get along
Falling in love with the same song

LYRICS
For smooth opporation
Up the calculation
Add smooth transition
Due to calibration
So the teeth of the gears combine
Spinning ’round to crank out time

For more satisfaction
Lube the operation
A smooth transaction
loss of the friction
And the teeth of the gears combine
Spinning ’round to crank out time

No grind distraction
A perfect interaction
For your attention
The main attraction
For the teeth of the gears combine
Spinning ’round to crank out time
