Ant Onym

Posted on August 26, 2016August 27, 2016 by admin

LYRICS
A little ant said, “Look at me.
I can be what I want to be.
Think positively.”
The little ant said to me
Thinking positively

Covered his head with a piece of bread
Moving ahead he turned and said
“Do the mind over matter vibration splatter.
Then, share your essence through your presence.”
Thinking positively
Be what I can be

I’ll never forget as he disappeared into the sunset
With a wave and a wink, he made me think
When he said, “Son, you can be like me.”
Be what you want to be
Thinking positively

LYRICS
Dinah’s in the kitchen
She’s really cookin’
I’ve come to learn
She’s gotta horn
And I’d say
She’ll blow it all day
All the live-long day

Yeah, Dinah was born
To blow that horn
Ya know she’s itchin’
In that kitchen
And I’d say
She’ll blow it all day
All the live-long day

Navigate anew if you know what I mean?

Get yourself a bright light-heart

Easy way to help the human race
Putting a smile upon your face

Don’t let your love go uncharted

In One Ear

Posted on February 13, 2015February 13, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
It goes in one ear and right out the other
You growing tatters in there?
It goes in one ear and right out the other
Or, are you unaware
Do you even care
If it’s in error

It goes in one ear and right out the other
Hear what’s goin’ on here?
Sister, brother…
Friends and neighbors lend me an ear
It’s very clear
Truth’s drawing near

LYRICS
What do you know about that?
Sly fox writes the rules in the rabbit habitat

Chorus
As for man, do you know
What is our part (2) All if and but (3) If he even tries
In Mother Nature’s traveling sideshow
How far will we all go
Astray at heart (2) With glutton gut (3) With mesmerize eyes
In Mother Nature’s traveling sideshow

What do you know about that?
The King Of Beasts takes least compared to our feast

Chorus

What do you know about that?
The vulture only fine dines on the afterdeath of culture

Non-lexical vocables in music

Non-lexical vocables, which may be mixed with meaningful text, are a form of nonsense syllable used in a wide variety of music. A common English example would be “la la la”.

Non-lexical vocables are used in Blackfoot music and other Native American music, Pygmy music, the music of the Maldives and Irish Music, Highland Scots music. Vocables frequently act as formal markers, indicating the beginning and end of phrases, sections or songs themselves, and also as onomatopoeic references, cueing devices, and other purposes. — Wikipedia

A Better Place

Posted on November 9, 2012November 10, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
You can stand here hoping the world will pass you by
Or, you can choose a better place to move the human race

CHORUS
If you want to get from here
You want to get to there
You have change direction somehow

You can follow the herd trying to stray under every black cloud in the sky
Or, you can choose a better place to move the human race

Chorus

You can sit in your rocker hoping the world will pass you by
Or, can lead the human race to move to a better place

Chorus
You can believe all you’ve heard from the herd… never asking why
Or, can lead the human race to move to a better place

Chorus
Favor the path that is clear
Listen to your instincts. Be aware!
There’s no better time nor place. Here! Now!

A Chaos Theory Theme Song

Posted on November 6, 2012November 6, 2012 by admin

D A N G E R
LYRICS
Water dripping from a faucet
Try to dodge the raindrops without getting wet
Unordered as the system may appear to be
It’s only because you’re too close to see clearly

Um, though it might appear random
To call it such would dumb
It’s much more complicated than that
Better put on my thinking hat

A butterfly flaps it wings
Causing devastating things
Showing up as tornadoes in Kansas
Your smallest intention effects all of us

Smoke rising up into the air
A most fascinating thing as a smoke-ring
Crystals forming where it was bare
Call it a gem. Call it rare

When All Else Fails

Posted on November 4, 2012November 6, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
The key is under lock and key
All modes of communication fail
Like a jaguar chasing a monkey
We’re taking on water… better bail!

The key still under lock and key
All routs of transportation fail
Like a jaguar chasing a monkey
Start walking on water… we need the Holy Grail

The key is locked on the inside
Drowning… respiration will fail
Like a poacher shoots the jaguar for a hide
Start treading treading water… it’s your tail

Like the monkey chases the weasel
Like the jaguar chases the monkey
Like the poacher chases the jaguar

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel;
The monkey thought ’twas all in fun,
Pop! goes the weasel.
