LYRICS
“Puff. Puff,” says Cumulus
As Stratus smiles down from on high
Your point-of-view
Can shift, too
To the point where new is knew
Originally, by me
Now, a collaboration as we
“Puff. Puff,” says Cumulus
As Stratus smiles down from on high
We’ve turned to us
“Puff. Puff,” says Cumulus
As Stratus smiles down from on high
Just a wisp in the sky
Traveling by
Never stalls the astral
Bringing love to all

I won’t tell you no more

What’s all the rigamarole?
Diggin’ a hole with the mole?
What’s the ruckus
Throwing humanity under the bus?

Don’t ya know
The story has a morale
The door
You slam it?
Damn it!
All for all
It’s a rigamarole

Shake off your Rigor mortis
Build the human fortress
For us
The children of the children’s children’s
Enough immoral shenanigans
Join the rigamarole
For all

Neptune
There is no inept tune
Hum some. Whistle some.
Hum. Whistle.
Shoot a sonic missile
Underneath the mistletoe
where it’s right to love all
Soar above the noise and confusion
’till you surpass the Grand Illusion
The blessed from Atlantis
the bliss that is
Under the sea
The blessed from Atlantis
the bliss that is
Ability
See! See?
Neptune from the Atlantis abyss
Floats above and saves us

LYRICS
Caught between
A pig
And, a wet blanket
Smothering me
With the terroristic drastic
Please ween me
From your dictatorship
Your narcissistic flip
The militant mean
The militant mean
You know harm
The militant: mean
The pig skin’s sheen
Doesn’t make him cleam
A big pig
Doesn’t make a big man
Just dessert
Of ham

LYRICS
The High Roller
Hits the wrong Note
Likes to holler
Roll in conceit and gloat
Think ya rule…
Rule the world
Think you’re cool
But, that gets old
Why don’t ya try
To lighten up
Say good-bye
To acting tough
Cuz ya ain’t that big
And, ya ain’t that bold
Maybe you should try
Acting small
After all,
That;s what you are
So, you won’t need to stretch that far
Give up the ignorance
Give up the grimace

LYRICS
Rape, pilfer and plunder
What a tragedy
Is it any wonder
There’s only yesterday
As far as the eye (I) can see
Yes, it’s time to move on
I do believe you’re beatin’
That dead horse to death
Yes, it’s time to move on
I do believe you’ve eatin’
To the entrails through the flesh
Scrape, litter and squander
What a tragedy
Is it any wonder
No more tomorrow
For you or me
I wish we were apt to adapt
Waste our waste
Trash our trash
Smash our thrash

All good children go to heaven

Just a little bizarre
You shine. You shine. You do.
You shine. You shine. Heart so true.

LYRICS
We can fight, kick and scream
We can destroy… try n’ shatter the dream
Or…
We can have cake and ice cream?
I’d rather do that
Peace, love and understanding
Is where it’s at
I’d rather do that
We can siphon off the cream
Pollute every stream
Turn it all brown from green
Rob every child from being a teen
Or…
We can take a ride on a moonbeam
Dance and sing
Create a beautiful thing
Movement and color
A delightful scene
You can bet I’d rather do that
’till the day I die
I’d rather do that

Written and recorded on May 22, 2012 at Marsh Creek State Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania. I was watching people enjoy themselves… fishing, hiking and biking. And, I thought to myself, “Why not choose fun?”
LYRICS
If you go indifferent
You’ll come out different
When time turns real
Don’t forget how to feel
You’re running the rat race
Getting fat for the cat
Gonna bury your soul with that hunk of meat?
R.I.P. Rest In Peace
You seem to forget
An eternity of regret
Seize the moment
Less the moment seizure you

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 2
Written and recorded in Ambler and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on May 20, 2012. It’s about a disease that attacks most humans — growing old. As children turn into adults, they tend to become indifferent about life. Please, oh please, Lord… not me.
Recipe For A Man Which
LYRICS
We can weather
Weather any storm
We can prosper
Rise above the alarm
We can see
Returning to the sea
Or, rather
The sea returns to us?
From the sea
The contents of us…
Be
Let’s gather
Celebrate humanity
… we can be glorious
Mostly, H2O
A dash of salt
Built with know
Let us play
Sing and dance the day away
ABOUT THIS SONG
Em
Em / Am / D / G
reprise A / D / G
Written and recorded on May 19, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It is a song about what humans are made of… including the ghost in the machine. Approximately 70 percent of the human body is made up of water. Our waste is mostly salt water. However, there is that part we call the soul. While I was writing the song, three children climbed up onto the pedestal of the statue and commenced to do a wild jig. That was exactly the ghost in the machine I was trying to describe.
LYRICS
This bulldog pulls up to me
Gee… wonder if he’ll slobber on my knee?
Seems to be diggin’
The freestyle guitarin’
Of the bulldog blues
Funny to see
The guard dog of minstrel-ly
Rough. Tough. Ready to rumble
Gruff. Hold steady. Ready to tumble
ABOUT THIS SONG
