LYRICS
The sun is falling in the sky?
Then,
Maybe it’s time to ask yourself why…
Where and when
Lost the bearings can’t even try
Then,
Maybe it’s time to ask yourself why…
Where and when
Ought to find your way home
Got to find your way home
Oughta, gotta, oughta, gotta find your way home
Alone rambling roam

The moon is rising getting high
Taking over the night time sky
Days gone by
Orion’s tryin’ it’s do or die
Too late for fate to even cry
Days gone by
Ought to find your way home
Got to find your way home
Oughta, gotta, oughta, gotta find your way home
Alone rambling roam

LYRICS
Ready?
Loaded
Firing pin in
Exploded
The rifling is spinning me ’round
No stifling the massive sound

Ready?
Loaded
Firing pin in
Exploded
The aiming’s tight with ‘ole iron sights
Aligning ’em right’s worst of the fight

Ready?
Loaded
Firing pin in
Exploded
Reloading’s trite first shot’s delight
Bite the bullet ’cause the bullet bites

LYRICS
We’ve seen this before
Steadfast in the bore
Send spirits to soar
There must be some more?
Can you reveal
What’s the real deal
Unseal the seal
Woven in the unspoken
Muse musical move meant
Meaning meaning ferments to meant
Ferment to meant

LYRICS
If I could get of the way of myself
Probably be better for my mental health
The entire ride a tired collide
The sum of #1 pride
Intelligence died
Feel the frenzy of the risin’ endorphin
Moving out of the way
Of logic gone astray
Go into the flow
Of the know
The synapse sap flows
The distance from dumb to wisdom grows
As the resistance goes

LYRICS
If you ask me, it just may be
Ass backwards
It’s clearly easy to see
Ass backwards
Though I’m an expert
Retort your report
Sense the scent of science
Yearn to earn to learn

It seems to me it’s probably
Ass backwards
In reality it’s got to be
Ass backwards
Though I’m an expert
Retort your report
Moving toward the final word
Forward out of ass backwards

LYRICS
Have you ever been caught in a pouring rain
All your energy down the drain
From contempt and disdain it’s hard to refrain
Then, out from the shroud of clouds
Hello, sun’s rays
Shine on beautiful days
Hello, sun’s rays
Shine upon the paths and ways
Shine on.. upon.. up on (high, fly)

Have you ever been wrought from a real downpour
Make you wonder if you can take anymore
A heart that’s sore, tore, the mental gore
Then, out from the shroud of clouds
Hello, sun’s rays
Shine on beautiful days
Hello, sun’s rays
Shine upon the paths and ways
Shine on.. upon.. up on (high, fly)

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the hill
Where I stop and I turn and I give you a thrill
‘Til I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah
— The Beatles

LYRICS
As soon as I’m done
Want to do it again
Right back in line
One more time
Over and over and over again
From our hearts
The best part’s
Participation
Taking part
In the art
Of cooperation

End of the run
To the starting gun
Over and over and over again
Once it has been
It’s back to begin
Over and over and over again
From our hearts
The best part’s
Participation
Taking part
In the art
Of cooperation

LYRICS
When I look in your eyes
I realize
We sure do have it good
Enough of should
Enough of could
It’s time to do or die
Raise our heart
Push on start
It’s time do die or try

When I see the blue skies
I realize
We sure do have it good
Enough of should
Enough of could
It’s time to do or die
Raise our heart
Push on start
It’s time do die or try

No more battle cries
We all realize
We sure do have it good
Enough of should
Enough of could
It’s time to do or die
Raise our heart
Push on start
It’s time do die or try

LYRICS
Comes together
Falls in place
Snapped tether
Free float through space
Above the whether/weather
Shadows… no trace
Float like a feather
Across the Earth’s face

Comes apart
Falls to pieces

Never ceases
Comes together
Falls in place
Snapped tether
Free float through space
Above the whether/weather
Shadows… no trace
Float like a feather
Across the Earth’s face

I feel alright
Going light
On the uptight

Going light
On the uptight
In the midst of a good night
Goodnight

bookmark_borderMakes Me Smile

LYRICS
I look out of my cage
Ask why’s this what I made?
I booked and set the stage
Maybe it’s time for us…
… to go extemporaneous?
And, it brings a smile t my face
A whole (k)new outlook on our race

Feel like a rat in a maze
Day to days turn into haze
I think why not a new phase?
Maybe it’s time for us…
… to go extemporaneous?
And, it brings a smile t my face
A whole (k)new outlook on our race

Lost in a flock of sheep
On an ever growing manure heap
Maybe it’s time we woke from our sleep?
Maybe it’s time for us…
… to go extemporaneous?
And, it brings a smile t my face
A whole (k)new outlook on our race

LYRICS
Why be green with envy
When you think the grass is greener
The other side of the fend makes you meaner
Though the stories have been told
No, it never, ever grows old
Living in this beautiful world

Why get red in the face
Consumed by growing anger
Does common sense put you in danger?
Though the stories have been told
No, it never, ever grows old
Living in this beautiful world

Look in he mirror
You’re turning white as a ghost
While above the ground let’s make the most
Though the stories have been told
No, it never, ever grows old
Living in this beautiful world
