Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Throwing into the wind
Where the mind has been
Gone with the wind
Or come back again?
Don’t you know
I think it blows?
(Don’t you think I know it blows?)
No matter which way it goes
It blows
Any way the wind blows
Don’t you know
I think it blows
All my answers…
Blowin’ in the wind
Why question the suggestion
’cause in conclusion the conclusion:
Is in the hands of the weather/whether
Blowin’ like a feather
In the wind

LYRICS
What can I do
The time sure flew
What can I do
I’m asking you
Hands of the clock
Are ready to shock
Spinnin’ ’round
They never slow down
Sets the pace
With the hands on his face
… to pursue the chase?

Hands on the clock
Never going to stop
Night and day
They go the same way
No surprise
They’re going clockwise
… the wise realize

Hands on the clock
Would fit like a glove
If this were
The time for love
I’m a bandit of time
Hands up! This is a stick-up
I’m…
… a band-it of time

LYRICS
The things you see in the dark

Takes the boy out of man

Takes the in out of innocence
Hold on to the essence

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sometimes you’ve got to wonder
Purposeful blunder?
But, why “on God’s green Earth”
would the idea be given birth?
Strange days indeed
Self-inflicted bleed
Derange strays to impede
So conflicted plead
Secede
Let us leave
Let us be
Can’t you see the need?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If at first you don’t succeed
Try again
Then, again
Might concede
What it is to succeed
After all, what is “this”
That you want to achieve
And is all this bliss
Cracked up to what it’s suppose to be?
Then, in retrospect
Are you chasing a dream
I mean… come on… what the heck
If it makes you want to scream
For your whole life running down
Oh the strife of chasing down
All the time running round and round round

Homeless Home
LYRICS
Maybe I’m clueless
Guessing the homeless
In spite of the storm
Had to leave home
Not of the norm
In a hurry
Alas, couldn’t last
Had to move fast
Probably had to scurry
Shedding their bedding
Hope the coat can float
Wondering how does it feel
Abandoning your last meal?
I suppose when forced to roam
Everywhere you call is home
Despite the storm
Won’t help to moan
Now, the new norm
Is to hurry
The past couldn’t last
Had to move fast
Probably had to scurry

ABOUT THE SONG
Written in between Market, Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA. (Gay Church)

I was sitting on a bench getting ready to write a song when I looked over at abandoned belongings.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you willing to sacrifice
Those that are not nice
If you need to think twice,
No dice!
Let those heads roll
Letting them roll
Built on solid rock
Letting them roll

See the bully pick on me
What’s it going to be
Pry open the condemned heart
It’s a start

bookmark_borderWhat For?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
No more “what for?”

I’ve heard it all now
Know I’ve heard it all before
Excuse the lack of “wow!”
Finding it all quite a bore
Please no more “what for?”
No, no more

Ignorance is really no excuse
Responsible even when loose
Are the brains in recluse
Keep them hidden… in your caboose?

How much more to endure
Sure your remedy’s the cure?
Allure of shinny nomenclature
The lure of human nature

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The western horizon
Appearing frightening
Those storm clouds are rolling
Blowing over me
Drastically

At the end of the day
Sure to blow you away
No matter what you do or say
Sure to blow you away

Save yourself from harm
Sound the alarm
Quickly, take shelter
From this Helter Skelter

Talking ominous
For the both of us
Make a break for it
Talking screwed and “holy $hit”

bookmark_borderListen?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The more I listen
The more urgent is heard
The more I listen
The more actions for words

The severity of rarity
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

The disparity of prosperity
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

The vanity of humanity
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

The intensity of insanity
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

The rationing of rationally
Is getting quite odd
When you say, “Let’s pray”
On your knees… better beg your God

LYRICS
Why, what’s better than not?
Strike while the iron’s hot
Let the hammer fall
If you want to shape it all

Form the molten metal
Plow it into shares
Once and for all settle
The order of affairs
(The “who” of who cares)

Form the words into swords
Mightier than deceit
Enlightenment of what is meant
The receiver of receipt
(Making hearts skip a beat)

LYRICS
If you’ve got it and you know it
Are you going to show it?
If you’ve got it and you show it
Please don’t blow it
Hubris, this is Nemesis
A doctoral thesis
On the human species

If you want it then you flaunt it
Might as well forego it
’cause you know it when you show it
Oh, you no, no it

Too big for your britches
Pulling out the stitches
The higher is tall…
Further the fall

If you’ve got it then you drop it
Know it’s going to stop it
It’s time to understand
“In the palm of your hand”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When you said “honestly”
Thought you meant for real
Now you have lost me
Scrutinize the deal
Do you think your ranting ‘s
Enchanting?
A rather dumb
Temper tantrum

Surprise
Won’t cover-up lies
Realize
No matter how hard one tries….

When you said “trust me”
Thought you meant for real
Now, will you confide in me
Scrutinize the deal

LYRICS
A fishy fish story
About its tall tail tale
Took a turn toward gory
With words that impale
Exhale
Exalt
Inhale
Doubt fault
(Halt)
Deceit laced with lies
Broken promises
Receipt of “wonder whys”
The hammer kisses
Nailed!
Caught in your own net
A sure bet you’ll regret
Should have cut bait, set sail
Before the storm… now bail!
Piece by peace
The truth we release
Aid the weak and frail
And what it will entail
