LYRICS
Sitting adrift on a raft
On what I thought was the sea
But now I’m starting to see
A different destiny
With the handle a flush
The water starts to rush
Is the best choice to go with the flow?
I don’t know
A moment too perplex
Entering the vortex
Spinning round and round and round
As we’re goin’ down, down, down
Into the sewer ’till there’s fewer and fewer
Spinning round. Going down.
A testament to excrement
Our history as testimony
Created a flow against our go
For a fatal blow

LYRICS
Sitting on the Parkway
Waiting for the naked bike race
Wondering how far away… sitting on the Parkway
Give the shirt off you back to keep pace
Gonna picture some nudes at the Art Museum
… I am!
Will there be boobs flapping in the wind
Will I see the jubilation within
Will their seat get stuck to the seat
Will they be naked from head to feet?
Give the shirt off you back to keep pace
Gonna picture some nudes at the Art Museum
… I am!
Can you sit still on that bicycle
I wanna get my fill
Bicycle, bicycle thrill

LYRICS
Sitting by the river
Watching the water roll by
Philly’s the city
Closest to I (eye)
Sometimes you’ve got to ask yourself (WTF) “Why?”
Sitting city-side
Watching the river roll by
Philly’s the city
Closest to I (eye)
Mississippi, forget about me
Schuylkill will be my legacy
Mississippi missin’ me!

LYRICS
In the thick of their twisted tricks
Perplexed reflex
Betwixt a rock and a hard place
We place the human race
Betwixt a rock and a hard place
With an itch ta make ya twitch
You’re not alone
If it hits ya in the funny-bone
They believe they’ve read:
A famous actor is dead
The President to step down
Or, anything about a mad clown
Chorus
Makes ya dread what you’ve read…
Oh, no! There’s no such thing as a good GMO
The Earth and Killer Asteroid to collide
Big Business causes my personal messes
And, anything they share on Obamacare
Beware!
It’s a shame. Though lame, you can’t believe hardly anything you read from this breed.

There’s strength in the hope

LYRICS
I came upon an amputee
This is what he said to me,
“What you get… can be more than you see.”
I said, climb on my back
And I’ll supply what you lack
Why go up the crick without a paddle
When you can ride wild without a saddle
A tidal tiding
Bareback surfing
I saw a blind man that wanted to see
This is what he said to me,
“What you get… can be more than you see.”
I said, climb on my shoulders
And we’ll make you a beholder
I went to talk to a cute mute
This is what she said to me,
“….”
I said, come and take my hand
And we’ll lead them to understand

(The Grinch That Stole The Christmas Blues)
LYRICS
You’re never alone on Christmas
Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Feeling lonely is only if you miss
The essence of the Christmas presence
Let’s figure it out?
The love will always be there, I swear
As long as there’s someone…
As long as there’s anyone…
As long as someone cares
That someone could be you
Lord, lordy, Lord, Lord, lordy
Lord, with you…. make two
And, as far as I can see
There’s me
(… that’s three…)
For crying out loud — A CROWD!
Singing Merry Christmas, Almighty
Bless you for taking pity
And, keeping me company

Though the road may look long and steep ahead
… there’s nothing to dread
If the pressure’s mounting… don’t think you’ll make it?
Then, come on let’s get

Every good boy deserve favor (EGBDF are the notes on the lines of a treble clef)
Especially when he’s paid his dues

Baby, baby let’s see what we’ll be
Hey, hey now greet Sir Certainty
Baby, baby create our destiny

LYRICS
The words for the verse are crucial
And, I’m trying to figure it out
The chords for the chorus… revolution
And, I’m trying to hammer it out
Please let what they sing ring
Throughout the land
Please let what they play say
We understand
No need to rehearse. This crucible
Is sure to fire things up
The power of love is critical
The volume it’s time to turn up
