LYRICS
Have you ever had a vision
On which you dwell
Time for a decision
Time to propel
Over, under in betwixt
Going to take a shot
An envision fix

Have you ever had a dream
ON which you dwell
Had time to build up steam
Time to propel
Over, under, in between
No reason not
Your slate’s come clean

Have you ever glimpsed the future
As Man’s living hell
But know we hold the feature
To make it turn out well
Over, under in betwixt
Going to take a shot
An envision fix

LYRICS
“Hey there! Can you keep it down?”
Hey there
Take a look around
Hey there
Nothing’s found
Can’t keep the temperature down
Look around
Nothing’s found
To keep the temperature down
Can’t beat the heat

We love to spew
We do. We do
Skew the new
We do. We do
Pollute our habitat
Imagine that
That that’s where we’re at
Stupid primate changed the climate
Can’t keep the temperature down
Look around
Nothing’s found
To keep the temperature down
Can’t beat the heat
Going to have to admit defeat

LYRICS
Just realizing
Temperature’s rising
You’re so hot
Better not… leave you alone
Better not
Way too hot

Start to see the relevance
Of leaving you to the elements
You’re so hot
Better not… leave you alone
Calamity zone
I just can’t leave you alone
Better not
Way too hot

98, 99, 100 degrees
Bi-polar opposite of deep freeze
You’re so hot
Better not… leave you alone
Searing bone
I just can’t leave you alone
Better not
Way too hot

Yes it’s true “all dogs go to heaven”
But it’s up to you not to bake ’em in an oven
I’m casualty prone
Just can’t leave you alone
You’re so hot
Better not… leave you alone
Better not
Way too hot

If not already here / hear
The path is clear
When you’re already there

All share
Astounding

If you’re already here / hear
No need to steer
When you’re already there

LYRICS
Out from under
The stress of duress
Puzzle pieces jell
Out of the mess
Finally, we see
What shall be
Completely
Arrive at the perfect place
In the human race

Out of wonder
Ask the question
Please do tell
I’m up for suggestion

In the clear
See fro miles
No fear
From ear to ear
The child smiles

LYRICS
With an up and down
Strumming sound
Trying to find the tone
Trying to find the zone

Pick glides
Across 6-stings
Fingers slide
Guitar sings
Getting into the tone
Getting into the zone

Can you join in and help me sing?
I’ll see what my heart and soul can bring
We can all get the good news out
That love, love, love is what it’s all about
Going for a ride
Ends on the other side
Going for a ride
Starts on the other side

88 keys if you please
Trying to find the tone
Trying to find the zone

Rhythm and choose
Blues or good news?
Getting into the tone
Getting into the zone

LYRICS
All is a stage
C. A. G. E.
Come out of the cage
See what it is to be
Come out of the cage
Out of your cage
All is a stage
C. A. G. E.
It’s that easy
They say all play
Come out of the cage
Onto the stage
C. A. G. E.
It’s so freeing
Cage free is for me
In my being
Out of the cage
On the stage
(All is a stage)

LYRICS
Am I getting hard
Heart’s grown scarred
Been happening ever since
I lost my innocence
Am I growing cold
As I’m growing old
Been happening ever since
I lost my innocence
Turning back the page
To an early age
Make the decision
To go pre-cynicism

With a slip of the tongue
I’m getting young
Been happening ever since
I found my innocence
If you want to engage
Forget your age
Be happening ever since
You found your innocence
Turning back the page
To an early age
Make the decision
To go pre-cynicism
Turning back the page
Back to page one
Page one won

bookmark_borderSame Ole Story

LYRICS
Seen it before
Know how it ends
And the message it sends
Same ole folklore
’bout blood and gore
And the morals it bends
The good guys always finish last
Hoping it was a thing of the past
That ain’t no damsel in distress
Just a MILF in a hot mess

The plot doesn’t know where to begin
The dog’s at the door and want to come in
Is this the climax? What’s it about
Now that damn dog wants to go out
All of time just keeps dragging on
Really can’t wait ’til I’m gone
Romans, countrymen your ears lend
Finally, this story comes to “The End”

LYRICS
As soon as the sun starts breakin’
We’ll / will do it again
We’ll / will do it again in the mornin’
For the children’s sake
At day break
We’ll do it again in the mornin’
And it’s true that all you do
Will pull you through, too
All you do comes back to you
Know / no matter what you do
For “good”ness sake
When we wake
We’ll do it again in the mornin’
(at the break of day
… what do you say?)

LYRICS
Might want to be careful
If you get too close
You might catch it, too
Maybe slightly mindful
If you get the “to know” ‘s
You might catch it, too
They say the disease
Is spreading like fleas
So if you please
None of these

Might want to be fearful
If you’ve got the “who knows?”
You might catch it, too
Maybe slightly helpful
If you’ve got a spare dose
You might catch it, too
They say the disease
Starts with a wheeze
(Cough and sneeze)
So if you please
I’ll have none of these
I might catch it, too
Don’t want to catch it from you
I might catch it, too

What? More?
Torrential downpour
When you reign
We are poor
Light of my life
Come ’round that cloud
Shine the light bright
Sing it out loud (aloud)

No more
Torrential downpour
When you reign
We are poor

Time for

At last
First is last
Once more
Torrential uppoor (uproar!)
Quenched thirst
Last is first

LYRICS
I’m telling you
Let’s see it through
You were born to run
Don’t you hear the starting gun
Born to run
What better thing can be done
Born to run
And everything will be O.K. today

I’m telling you
Let’s see it through
You were born to run
Your bindings have come undone
Born to run
Our days numbered under the sun
Born to run
And everything will be O.K. today

I’m asking you
Let’s see it through
We were born to run
A whole lot more than having one
Born to run
Finally finishing having some
Born to run
And everything will be O.K. today
