The Texture Of Rain

Posted on May 14, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Hear the texture of rain
See the colors of sound
Double the sense of sane
It’s all around
Even the smallest drop (drip)
Spreads a ripple
Suckling Mother Nature’s nipple
Born to live
Take and give
Arrive at alive!

The texture of rain
As it hits the ground
Through a light refrain
A rainbow of sound

Pour! The texture of rain
Elixir of pain
The soothing sound
A sight to be found

Inner Workings

Posted on May 14, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Inside the outer workings
Stands the land of I
The success of (my) civilization
Depends how hard I try
Along the path, forkings
Will I be left or do right
The success of my creation
Depends on my insight

Shed some light
Just enough reign
For growth’s gain
Earth revolving
Evolving
(Growing knowing)

Inside the outer workings
Stands the land of ours
The success of (our) civilization
Depends upon our devours
Inside the outer workings
Understand fight or flight
The success of our creation
Depends on our insight
(chorus)
Success… yes!

(2+2)*2

Posted on May 13, 2019May 13, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
2 and 2 and 2 and 2 is eight
Is it too, too, too, too late
(2+2) x2 is 8
Is it too, too, too, too late
Not too late to appreciate
Another day above ground
On our world spinning ’round
Feel the sound

I’m counting out time at a rapid rate
Quicksand trap of the hourglass’ bait
(chorus)

Avoiding the low road
Interstate of hate
Taking the high road
Inner state’s pearly gate
(chorus)

Numbered are the days
Till our final date
Expiration is sealed
In our fate
(chorus)

Let’s Dance

Posted on May 12, 2019May 12, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
That’s what I’m talking about!
Shout:
“O.K. Jose”
Hit the road, toad
Get jumping
Hop to it
I will install
(and good ole
Rock n’ roll)
The lance of “let’s dance”
With a glance, lance let’s dance
It’s a draw
The art of the art
A real deal
Picture this
Sound synthesis
Opening up you mind’s “I”
At stake — awake
In the dawning of the rise
Mind’s eyes
Taking the stance: music + dance

On High

Posted on May 12, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Wipe that smile right of my face?
Imply I lace disgrace
Upon the entire human race
At least a taste of grace?
(In our space)
Seems this deems the high beams
Where you’re throwing shadows
We’re casting light
Now we just might
Brighten the tomorrows
Might shine the light
(sigh) I’m on high!
Be a saint and paint a smile
Make it wide… a country mile
Steaming and beaming from ear-to-ear
Lighting up everything far and near
Absurd actions speak louder than your word
Then, which is mightier… pen or sword?
No matter how you slice and dice
We’d all be better off thinking twice

Guerillas With Guitars

Posted on May 12, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Locked and loaded
Ready to roll
Rock exploded
Gone for a stroll
Rock and roll
Come on fellas
I think it’s time to unload
Guerillas
Got guitars
Hittin’ the road
Road warriors
Soul soldiers
Secret decoded
We’re on a roll
Nerves eroded
Loss of control
Come on ladies
I think it’s time to unload
No more maybe’s
Get powered
Hittin’ the road

In One Ear

Posted on May 10, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
To hear in one ear
And right out the other
Only a fool to full/fool
With the bull
If he has horns
One learns
A dose of close
Only counts
In horseshoes
Hand grenades
And water balloons
It comes on soon
Court jester or wild loon?
My mother heard my father
Say to my brother
… and right out the other

Venus’ Mist

Posted on May 10, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Do you like the sound of this
Your desire
Your wish
Stoke the fire
Passionate kiss
The new wish-list
Venus’ mist
Heavenly bliss
Do you hear
The angels whispering
In your ear?
Do you hear
In your ear
Angels whispering?

Do you like the sound of this
Stroke desire
… polishes
Feed the fire
Passionate kiss
Dimpled skin
Flush within
Then, still
A special chill
Up and down the spine
… in time

Dig In / Sprout Out

Posted on May 8, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
The beauty from within
Will sprout out
A season will begin
You’ll bloom soon
No doubt
The roots dig in
Giving power
To your flower
Your hour
Your our
The peddle of the petal
Won’t settle
Until it sprouts out
Colors of the rainbow flow
For all to see
The beauty
That you’ll bloom to be
The beauty you’re soon to be

What you say
And what you do
Do in some way

Posted on May 7, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Just flew in
Where to begin
Terra wreaking terror
Give a wide berth
To spaceship Earth
Terra wreaking terror
We’re the race of the troll
And we’re out of contrl
You won’t see humanity
In any human
Amen
(Ahhhh men!)

Homo Sapien at it again
Terra wreaking terror
Over your race
It’s all our space
Terra wreaking terror
We’re the race of the troll
And we’re out of contrl
You won’t see humanity
In any human
Amen

Gamblin’ Man?

Posted on May 6, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
If you’re playing heads or tail
Even odds that you’ll fail
Better name a different game
If you want to remain sane
In sane
Not insane
Playing the game

Roulette 37 to 1
Chances are won’t have won
Better name a different game
If you want to remain sane
In sane
Not insane
Playing the game

Blackjack less than even odds
Unless you’ve got your own Gods
Better name a different game
If you want to remain sane
In sane
Not insane
Playing the game

Holy crap when it comes to craps
The odds on Odds are fair
I wan’t aware
Now you’ve named the game
I’ll be right there
Kind-of like a kick to the groin
Might as well flip a coin

Year After Year

Posted on May 6, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
The first year that went by
I was too young to know why
Year after year (after year after year…)
Accumulate in the rear
Until you fear
“The End” draws near

Grew into a young lad
Growing older made me glad
Year after year (after year after year…)
Accumulate in the rear
Until you fear
“The End” draws near

Years of ten were lean and mean
A fertility machine
Year after year (after year after year…)
Accumulate in the rear
Until you fear
“The End” draws near

Had a wife and had my kids
The best thing I ever did
Year after year (after year after year…)
Accumulate in the rear
Until you fear
“The End” draws near

Now that I’m growing old
A different story to be told
Year after year (after year after year…)
Memories to hold dear
Never in fear
“The End” draws near

Desire To Climb

Posted on May 5, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Wrestling with dirt and dust
Destination or bust
Your burden is the baggage you load
Lighten it up on the high road
The desire to climb
Higher and higher
With the insight
To shine the light
Letting the light shine bright

Finding my way or the highway
Leads to dismay in the disarray
Your burden is the baggage you load
Lighten it up on the high road
(chorus)

Forget accumulation of regret
Seek out and resolve the debt
Your burden is the baggage you load
Lighten it up on the high road
(chorus)

Which Came First

Posted on May 4, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
I’m not sure
The question I be
I’m not sure
Did I lay an egg?
Feelin’ soon
Going over like a lead balloon
Then again
Flyin’ like Led Zeppelin?
Who knows
It’s time to put on the nose
In fact
Time to get together the act
To their surprise
Rise!
Don’t think Titanic
And sink
Doing the bootstrap rap
Pull myself up and go
Into the flow
