LYRICS
Better not take it for granted
Better not take it for granite
If your view on the world is slanted
Turn you rants into ranted

Building this rock on solid rock
On rock, rock on

It ain’t fine if you wanna wine all the time
For goodness sake! Give more than you take!
Time to hide the pride
… take a soul ride

Chorus

LYRICS
Passing through the time
Headed down stream to the future
Floating on the dream, I’m….
And then further….

Part of the clockworks of the machine
This cog is turning the hands
Giving aura to the scene
Of the hourglass’ sands

The tick-tock of the clock
Watching nature mature
The talk talk turns to squawk
Wondering will our species endure

LYRICS
1 + 1 always equals 2
Seek what’s true?
It’s right in front of you

And, in this case the opposite’s true
2 equals one plus one, too

An obvious truth obviously
Just like you plus me
Equals us
… it’s obvious

As “we”, we partake in the day
As we lay out destiny’s way

LYRICS
Are you awake?
There’s a big ass snake
Swimming in our water
You may wish to go no further

Why did he pick today
To come out and play
Silently slithering with no wake

Look! Upon the rock top
Coiled in the sun
Do you fell the urge to run?
Stop!

You’re sure you’re the cure
Mixer of the fixer elixir
Or snake oil salesman?

Amen

Written and recorded on the banks of the Brandywine River in Lenape, PA. The song was inspired by a large (over four feet long) Northern Water Snake. It crawled out from under the rocks I was sitting on, swam through the swimming hole and sunned itself on rocks on the other side.

LYRICS
Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
Stepped into a sweatbee factory
The hornet’s nest… you’ve made a mess

Chorus
Throwing that rock
… and roll
Into the rock-n-roll

Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
The ripple from the stone you throw
Has an impact… or don’t you know?

Chorus

Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
Now the fish have gone away
How’re gonna eat today?

Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
Adding confusion is no solution
To our communication degradation

LYRICS
Did you ever wish you could be a fish
And, get that fisheye point-of-view
Have you?

Have you ever thought of being a hawk
Soaring above this 3rd world rock
Nice view

Expanding your view… can you?

Have you thought of being a dragonfly
To hover… you needn’t even try
It’s true

Expanding view… you, too

Have you ever considered being a tree
On a river’s bank… roots set free
Let’s see
Have you?

Nice view… it’s true

aka Lenape Way

LYRICS
Sitting on the bank of the Brandywine
On a day oh so fine
Watching the water flow by me
Wondering how long ’till it gets to the sea?

Floating a dream on the Brandywine
Setting sail at the pace of a snail
Drifting through our modern time
Wondering if the passing past will rain reign again

On the 7th day of the 7th month
Heading to the mouth… of the bay
Oh what a fine, fine hot summer day
On the magical mystical Lenape way

LYRICS
You talk to her but won’t talk to me
Time to get a grasp on reality

Truth song of how she’s done ya wrong

You walk with her but won’t walk with me
It’s a shame you mess with your destiny

Truth song of how she’s done ya wrong

What you lost with her you won with me
Time lost together is a travesty

Truth song of how she’s done ya wrong

Blood is blood and yours is mine
Some day you’re gonna find… you miss your family tree
(Trust me)

Truth song of how she’s done ya wrong

Pray my soul is fit
The gremlins they are a granging
Pray my soul ain’t bit

Asteroid please don’t hit
The sun keeps on burning
May our days stay lit

No bottomless pit
Hope you keep on earning

Still on the starting line? Dang!
Time to move a lot. Groove!

Dancers start to move. Smooth!

LYRICS
Were you ever to the top of the World Trade Towers
Have you ever been to the top of the Empire State
If you have a chance take a glance
On the edge
Look over
Past the ledge
We all look like ants

If you get the chance
… we all look like ants

Have you ever been to the top of the food chain’s powers
Have you ever been past the top
Well, it’s not too late

If you have a chance take a stance
Pull way back
’till over
Get the knack
We all look likes ants

If you get the chance
… we all look like ants

LYRICS
In the Berkshire Mountains
… no limit to what you can do
In the Berkshire Mountains
With ease you’ll gain the view
You can not afford not
Can you?

Do you think the bird’s heard the word?
A ballbusting nuthatch
Do you think that bird’s a lil’ absurd?
A ballbusting nuthatch

Watch! That’s no nuthatch
Some kind of King Pharaoh sparrow
Watch! That’s no nuthatch
In flight… out of the shadow

Your desires… living in the Berkshires

You can do what’s best to do in view
… of the Berkshires
