From the beginning
To the happy ever after ending
Until we meet again
Forever a friend
Together whether together

In the vain
Of one and the same
Post-modern slang
For ying and yang
Together whether together
Together weather together

[instrumental jam]

From the beginning
To the happy ever after ending
Universal message send:
Forever a friend
Together whether together
Together weather together

LYRICS
My heart is going to explode
Now, your heart’s my abode
The way you display your posture
I’m sure of a pure future
Through your eyes
I realize
Adapt our hope
Yes, know no nope
I can see within you
There’s a lot we can do
When I listen to what there is to say
I can see the way to the day
Raise our spirits!
Can you hear it?
Raise our spirits!

LYRICS
Yeah, the top dog hopped upon his spot
No, his name’s not spot
It’s not
It’s knot
Top dog
He’s the top dog
Jumped upon my bed
On top
Decides to lay his head
… on… my bed
On top
Now, he’s the top dog
I’m the man cog
He’s the top dog
Knot tied tight
Knot tied right
Not naughty
Not knot
Good dog?
Great dog.
Top dog
He’s a great dog
Rate dog: top dog

LYRICS
Knowing I love you
Knowing you love me, too
Gets us through the things we have to do
I love you

Know what I mean
Got to cook and clean
When the spaces in between
Are seen

To fill the spoon and fork
Got to do all kinds of work
Almost more then one can take
… but when we get a break….

LYRICS
When I look deep in your eyes
See the depth of beauty
An old soul… beyond wise
Be, in depth, the beauty
Big… and dark… and deep
Into my heart you seep
All your previous lives
Culminate in surprise
… deep in your eyes

When I look deep in your eyes
See the depth of reality
An old soul… beyond wise
Being in depth reality
Into our I’s
Deep in our eyes

LYRICS
Strong enough
Hang tough
If ever there’s a dilemma
I need pulled through
I always know
I can count on you
You’re strong enough
To pull me through
I can count on you
You get a grip
And won’t let go
Then, let ‘er rip
Pulled to from fro
You know
You go
Pulled to to from fro
Hold the tight rope
And won’t let go
Hold out all hope
Pulled to from fro
I know…
You’ll go
Pulled to to from fro
You’ll come to my rescue
Pull me through
I can count on you

LYRICS
Where did you go?
Oh, I know
I see your shadow
Just ’round the bend
My friend
Just out of sight
Out-of-sight
Knowing that you’re right there
Lets me know you know I care
The love we share
We wear aware

If your scent is sensed
Warms the heart to intense
When love makes sense
Lets you know I know you care
We wear aware

LYRICS
Never seems too hard
Being on guard
Just comes natural
As my catch-ya-all
Let out your secret talent

Been gold starred
For being on guard
It’s my nature
That’s for sure
Let out your secret talent

If awry should go anything
I’m your alarm bell… sure to ring
Let out your secret talent

When evil does lurk around
This hound will keep you save-and-sound
Let out your secret talent
Do what it is you’re meant
Find out what it’s all about
Let it out

LYRICS
Pat on the back
Gotta like that
Zig-zag
Wag
The tail
(It’ll never fail)

Matter of fact
Gotta love that
Zig-zag
Wag
The tail
(It’ll never fail)

I’m so happy to see you
Hoping you feel the same way, too
Can’t help my tail from wagging
Start to wail. I’m singing.
If you wonder why
It will perplex
Can’t try not to blink your eye
Must be a reflex
Zig-zag
Wag
The tail
(It’ll never fail)

bookmark_borderTrue Love

Inspired by a puppy dog after he was neutered.
LYRICS
Anesthesia. Anesthesia…
I’m coming to
I’m coming to
Anesthesia. Anesthesia…
I’m coming to
To the loving feeling of you

The raising of the knife
The changing of my life
Scars and mental strife
All fade away someday

In reflection
I’ve no recollection
But they say someday
We’ll be better off this way
Anesthesia. Anesthesia…
I’m coming to
I’m coming to
Anesthesia. Anesthesia…
I’m coming to
To the loving feeling of you

From over population
They say it frees ya
But from stimulation
Gave me amnesia
At least I can feel the love of you
Unconditional
Anesthesia. Anesthesia…
I’m coming to
To the loving feeling of you

bookmark_borderPeople Watching

LYRICS
Sitting here watching the people go by
Making me pause to wonder why
Watching them
Watching them watching me
I am
I see
Sitting here watching the cars go by
Driven insane on the way to die
Watching them
Watching them watching me
I am
I see
Putting on mile-age to earn a wage
Forgot their gauge on how they age
Watching them
Watching them watching me
I am
I see
Sitting here watching the traffic
Their own “exhaust” makes ’em sick
To spite their face, cut off their nose
Never stopping to smell a rose
Watching them
Watching them watching me
I am
I see

bookmark_borderFriendly Advice

LYRICS
Rubbing the fut the wrong way
He’ll likely run away
Lost, lonely… becoming stray
On the hand, might just bleed
The hand that feeds

And it’ll never fail
Grabbing him by the tail
Setting sail, going to wail

Kicking a dog when he’s down
Unlikely that dog will stick around
On the hand, might just bleed
The hand that feeds

Try taking his food away
Probably not the right day
He might have nothing to say
Or maybe he’ll run away
On the hand, might just bleed
The hand that feeds

bookmark_borderThe Tale Of Rabbit

LYRICS
When you hear that metal clinging
Like an alarm bell ringing
The thunder of the paws
Going to eat you raw
You better run rabbit run rabbit run

With your heartbeat pounding
Toward the corner rounding
Within a hair of the hare
Gonna getcha… almost there
You better run rabbit run rabbit run

Before your innards come undone
This could be your last day under the sun
Bunny, better not be dumb
After all, he’s just doing it for fun
You better run rabbit run rabbit run

Lose the battle, his war won
Think you missed the starting gun
Will reduce your hide to none
Unless it’s life you shun
You better run rabbit run rabbit run

Make your hole the goal
Or all the sooner…
Lucky foot dinner
You better run rabbit run rabbit run

LYRICS
Watching the water a while
Listen to the waves roll in (Rollin’)
A hypnotic style
Will begin
The sign or the sine
Wave by by
To time… I’m….
See-side
At the Ohhh-ocean
Bide no time
Ride the tide
The rhythm of the beat
Auto-tapping feet
Syncopation
Sensation

LYRICS
I’m more like you
You know it’s true
More like you
Not a matter of “want to”
Though bizarre
We are
At the core
Omnivore
Eat, the heart beats

As for love, true
Through and through
Not just animal
Both mammal
Hair and teats
Deeds and feats
