LYRICS
I look for the meaning
In the meaning
But, I can’t always find it there
Elusive. Eluding…
Though it may be (to me)
So, too, I

So, too, I

I’m really hoping I get the knack
I hope and pray I get the knack
The proper range
The proper attack

Oh , Lord… filling my lack

So, too, I

Maybe what I was worried about is weigh, way bigger than you?
(So, I can let my shy side come through)

I’m really hoping I get the knack

LYRICS
Picnic, Dear?

Hey, hey! Wouldn’t ya say
It’s a beautiful day
All’s clear
Nothing in the way

The fog is long gone
Got my guitar… I’ll play a song
If you’d like… you can sing along

Hey, hey! Wouldn’t ya say
It’s a beautiful day
All’s clear
Nothing in the way
No fear
Nothing in the way

Hey, hey! Wouldn’t ya say
It’s a beautiful day
All’s clear
Nothing in the way
High gear
Nothing in the way

Hope’s near
Joys tear
Nothing in the way

Picnic, Dear?
Scenic *we’re*

Feel The Pain Piano Tracks .mp3 (free music downloads)

LYRICS
When you hit your finger with a hammer
Hopefully, you feel the pain

Perhaps at first
It sounds a little insane
But, hopefully… you feel the pain

Would you rather the curse of the leper
When you feel nothing at all
Over time
Losing the sense of sense
Only sensing your senses are dull

On the other hand,
When you hit the chord of love
Spreading it with grammar
Hopefully, it’s like from heaven above

I hope you understand
Hopefully, you can feel others pain
Hopefully, you can feel others love
Hopefully, shedding the light we’re capable of

ABOUT THE SONG

Piano based.

LYRICS
Don’t ya know ya need a negative flow
Hook the black to the negative
So, ya know… the red can go

A positive outcome

The negative electron gone
Will give you a positive charge
Letting in the beauty of the song
Ensuring the positive is at large

A positive outcome
Don’t ya think we’d agree
On a positive outcome?

The voices within want let out
Listen with your heart
(If you want to) hear what it’s about
Reach out to your inner voice
Exercise your reason of choice

The voices within are calling you, calling you
The voices within are whispering, whispering
The voices within are calling you, calling you
Let me out, let me out, let me out!

The voices within want let out
Join in with your part
Form a choir and start

The voices within are calling you, calling you

bookmark_borderFree (So, This Is)

An original song by The Beatless Sense Mongers

Independence Hall, Philadelphia, PA

The concept of freedom
Is hard to grasp
If you’re not free
(And, never have been)
It stands to reason

Hitting home at last
… once through the gate
Pouring from every pore
(For evermore)
You’re free
(Happy to be)
Wealthy in liberty
(Free!)
You’re able to be

Having been a victory virgin
Never before across the finish line
The feeling sinks in
“Freedom is mine!”

I have to tell ya
The taste is sweet
… like no other treat
A desert from the dessert
I’m not talkin’ ’bout democracy
Rather the absence of hypocrisy
From see to smiling see

Happy to be
Free

The end of the tunnel
Freeing soul and mental
Letting light shine on us

Capo 3
A string play D
Add pinky high A

Spewing goo
Hatred anew
Is that what I want to do?

Don’t become that
Which I despise
Less sober
More Wise
Don’t become that
Which I despise

I try to realize
When it’s all over
… rather remain
Love and the same

Am add G slide to F#

The storm water system failed
Manhole covers sailed
Surge
Urge
The forces that be
Caused by we
Reckless endangerment meant
We forced the hand
That feeds us
What happens next?
Bite with spite
We did
We Id
Let our ego go
Out-of-control

Written after a weekend of intense thunderstorms caused flash flooding across the state of Pennsylvania.

A little drop of light
Had the might
To creep and peep
Through the shadows of a cloud
And, shine a drop on me
Like angels singing aloud
Liquid sunshine
Makes ya feel feel fine
A little drop of light
Feels alright

F#7 / D

I can tell by the way
You tore us apart
There’s a hole
In your heart
It’s time
For some major laser
Major laser brain surgery

It would appear
The time is near
For you to have corrective surgery

It would seem
That you are mean
… fix the tear in your heart

The black hole
That tore us apart
Try to fuse
Before we all lose

With some major laser
Major laser brain surgery

Try to repair
Under there
Where the heart
Has a tear
You ripped your heart
Apart
Why would you do
You
Why would you ever
Want to rip your heart apart?

Dear,
Now, I’m here
For some major laser
Major laser brain surgery

Is there anybody home?

Any friends and family
Should beware
Should be aware
The Damn Age
She will damage
The Damn Age
Let’s start
To fix your heart
Major laser
Major laser brain surgery

Fix the tear
In your heart

There’s something wrong with you
Fix the view
Despicable
Fix-able?

Operate
Castrate
Major laser
Major laser brain surgery
Operate
Before, it’s too late

Begin
Time to go in
Here we go
Try to fix her *know*

You’re sick
You’re ill
No goodwill

Time to repair in there
Major laser
Major laser brain surgery

C / Cm

What shall we do
On such a rainy day
Do you want to
Come over and play?

I’ve got a studio
Oh, oh, oh
For you and I,
I, i, i

You can plug right in
And, begin
To play
For the rest of the day

What shall we do
On such a rainy day
Do you want to
Come over and play?

What will yielding yield?
No protection. No Shield.
I will not yield
… will not yield to Satin
In Her Place Of Patton
… can not erase space
Nor, un-time (your) crime
Now, I can not yield
I will not yield
To Evilville
In Evilville
Never yield
Not “until”
Not will
