Dancing Off The Roof

Posted on July 23, 2013March 21, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

Might as well transpire
Our feat is on fire
Might as well transpire
Our feet are on fire

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

The sweat is dripping from my brow
Now, it pours from every pore

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

The “Hard Sun” is pounding down
… some more and some more

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

It’s not as though we’re aloof
Or your reality is just a spoof

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

ABOUT THIS SONG

Off The Hook

Posted on July 22, 2013March 21, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Why would I sit… sit here and wait
Just to hesitate then gulp on your bait?

If you think being caught is what you’ve got
We’re here to tell you that it’s not
Off the hook. Close the book.
The End. A chance to live again

Something smells fishy. You know there’s something fishy
You know there’s something fishy going on (again)

Now that I’m free… I’ve been set free
I can tell you clearly what I can see
The hierarchy versus anarchy
Creates hypocrisy in the depths of our sea

Riding The Gravy Train

Posted on July 13, 2013July 13, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Chorus
Today it rained then it poured
Today it reigned then it poored
It poured and poored some more

Well, if you’re riding the gravy train
And, you start to realize the gravy’s lumpy
Ya might just drive yourself insane
If ya don’t fertilize for the hungry

Chorus

Well, if you’re living and living without givin’
And, you start to appreciate “this is heaven!”
You might add spirit to your brain
Who knows? Ya might get to live again

Something Different.mp3 (Country Music / Americana Version)

LYRICS
There’s something different in the way you think
There’s something different in the way you see
I think with the universe you sync
I see in our time it will be

Chorus
If you want, you can have it
(But) Do you need… ’cause when you bleed it
We concede it… we’re conceited

There’s something different in the way you go
There’s something different in the way you move
The way you go with the flow
In the pocket… in the groove

Pay Day

Posted on July 11, 2013July 11, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
What do you do with all your day
Do you get to work as if to play
Is being productive seductive
In some sort-of way
When you’re through
Do you love your nighttime, too

What do you do along your way
By any chance do you get to say
“Amazing! Elusive? Inclusive?”
For what do you pray
When dues are due
Will we still be tight, too

LYRICS
Oops! Your cup spilleth over
Hope we start to discover
Not a fighter… more a lover

Red rover, red rover
Send some lovin’ right over

We’ll do what we gotta do
Stand before a bullet for you

Red rover, red rover
Send some lovin’ right over

Firecracker

Posted on July 7, 2013July 7, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Firecracker on the 4th of July
Poof! Band! Auld Lang Syne
Is the load of your energy spent
Or, resurrected… from heaven sent (second time lent)

It’s not too late… let’s repent
Soar as high… let’s fly
(Soar on high second time)

Heartbreaker on Valentine’s Day
Poof! Band! Auld Lang Syne
Is the cloud on your picnic wet
Or, hung to dry and live on yet?

United We State

Posted on July 4, 2013 by admin

4th Of July Songwriting in West Chester, PA

LYRICS
1) Here’s the funny thing
Mom’s half was for the King
Pop’s half said, “Wrath we bring!”

2) Her’s the funny thing
Ya gotta attest with protest
Or, we all fail the (democracy) test
Here’s the funny thing

It’s time we got our freedom back
Don’t blame it on the terror attack
It’s time we got our freedom back
Don’t blame it on the guts that you lack

On my way home to the free n’ the brave
Let’s get our leaders to behave
On my way home to the free n’ the brave
It’s time we stopped being our own slave

I ain’t ready to ride off into the sunset, yet
Ain’t ready for ashes to dust must

Getting bloody Terran torn Kamikaze planet, damn it!

I got it

Don’t ever forget it
I got it

You’ll come to regret it
I got it

Don’t ever forget it

If you don’t mend your way
All the lies that you say
Redemption you can’t pray
Until your dieing day

If you don’t face the fact
Perjury’s an illegal attack
If you don’t face the fact
The lies you can’t take back

LYRICS
Don’t ever give up your will to live
Forever live a life to give

Spread the love like a contagious disease
I beg you… I’m begging… begging of you please

Bestow the love so that it may grow
I plead to you… plead until you know

One Foot

Posted on June 12, 2013June 13, 2013 by admin

Songwriting at Marsh Creek State Park, Pennsylvania

LYRICS
One foot in a flood
The other in a drought
At the cost of blood
One Forty-Four K naught

Chorus
In the Age of waste not, want not
We let the land of plenty rot
The last page… the last astronaut
Engage in rage… love’s forgot

We engage in rage and the love is forgot

One foot under water
The other in the grave
Worse than pigs, for sure
The way we behave

Chorus

One I for an I
Until we all die
Slowly torture
’till extinction

Chorus

This song was written after I read a government report that said over 144,000 people a year are dieing from human induced climate change. Then, I went to a favorite songwriting spot… and it was flooded higher than I’d ever seen.

Learn more about global warming.
