LYRICS
The point-of-view
You’re seeing through
Is it stressing you?
High anxiety
Testing sanity
You better run for cover
Run while you can
Shun disaster
[faster]
The calamity of man

The point-of-view
You’re seeing through
Is it pressing you?
PTSD
Testing sanity
You better run for cover
Run while you can
Shun disaster
[faster]
The calamity of man

The point-of-view
You’re seeing through
Is it messing you?
Bureaucracy
Testing sanity
(System syndrome doom0
You better run for cover
Run while you can
Shun disaster
[faster]
The calamity of man

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Hane’t seen these guys
In a long, long time
Hope you don’t mind
If I drop the dime
Overdue
To have a few
How about you?
(I don’t know if you’ve been there, too?)

Another year’s gone by
Now please don’t cry
Sooner of later
We’re all gonna die
Overdue
To have a few
How about you?

It’s been so long
Since I set my eyes on you
Time it’s put to song
And maybe more than two
Overdue
To have a few
How about you?

LYRICS
Let’s see
Perhaps it’s the density
Whatever floats your boat
Maybe refrain from so much grain
Find the meat of the beat
Feed your brain
Please, start carvin’
Stop! The starvin’
Slice the meat
Treat the beat
Let’s see
Perhaps it’s the density
Whatever floats your boat
(But sometimes thick
Will sink the ship)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When you look into the eye
Of a hurricane
You can feel the pain
Of starting to wane
After all
You fade to small
Upon landfall

The wind and driving rain
Of a hurricane
Starts to fizzle and fade
Once the shoreline is made
After all
You fade to small
Upon landfall

Not much will remain
Of a hurricane
Once it comes ashore
It’s not there any more
After all
You fade to small
Upon landfall

Posted on by admin

I’ve had my fill
OF nice and peaceful
So nice and peaceful
I must be dead

When you have to strive
It makes you feel alive
So if there’s something to dread
It’s 6 feet under in bed
(chorus)

When you have to fret
About what you need to get
It makes your heart beat
So they can hear it down the street

Swinging from a tree
Like a chimpanzee
Nothing like being free
If you were to ask me
(chorus)

The best part to live
Is when you get to give
So before your cold and stiff
Give yourself a lift
(chorus)

LYRICS
It would seem
If you become my dream
The illusion confusion
Will become shattered
Can’t say
It doesn’t matter
No way!
Shattered
Tattered
I’d rather
Keep dreaming
Streaming
Heaven
Again

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Why don’t you
Have just a little bit
A little bit of humor
A little bit of color
A little bit of flavor
And make a habit of it

Why don’t you
Have just a little bit
A little bit of passion
Thrown into your fashion
A little more glamor
Let’s clamor for it

Why don’t you
Have just a little bit
A little bit for fun
Before your time is done
A little bit to savor
Before it’s all over

LYRICS
If I only knew what I was looking for
Maybe I could find it
Then, find some more
If I only knew what I was looking for
Maybe I could find some more
And be sure
If I only knew what I was looking for

If I only knew where to look for it
Maybe I could find just a little bit
If I only knew where to look for it
Maybe if my light was lit
I’d find a bit
If I only knew where to look for it

If I only knew it’s in front of my eyes
Realize there’s no color or size
If I only knew it’s in front of my eyes
Surprise! There’s no color or size
Realize the prize
If I only knew it’s in front of my eyes

LYRICS
Like a bat out of hell
Flying
Say that it’s just as well
Dying
If they crucify
Won’t you please come back again
Eye for an eye
Left us all in sin
Instead of being kind
Now we’re all blind

Sometimes it’s hard to tell
Whying
Believe in what they sell
Lying

Hoping we adjust to jell
Jamming
Coming out of you shell
Awing
Jaw dropping

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Pitter patter of the rain
On the rooftop
Drip drop
Helter skelter of the brain
Going flip-flop
Drip drop
Is the weather messing with emotion
Don’t know whether confessing’s a solution

Not another dreary day
Under black cloud
Fog’s shroud
Send blue skies on their way
Clear blue
For you

Finally turning fair
Sunshine
Feels fine
Find your happiness there
Feel fine
It’s time

LYRICS
The rain is poundin’ down again
Doesn’t it seem bizarre
Where do you think we are?
The rain is pourin’ in again
Doesn’t it seem bizarre
Where do you think we are?

Always after the flood
UP to my ass in mud
Stuck trying to understand
Reigning over the land

The wind is wailing in again
The wind whipping eye/I again

The sky is crying once again
The wind is howling hard again

Posted on by admin

Traditional Folk Song

  G                                  D
 When I was young I used to wait
                                 G
 On the master and hand him his plate,
G7                                     C
And Pass the bottle when he got dry,
        D                        G
 And brush away the blue tail fly.

G                                   D
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
                              G
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
G7                                 C
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
       D              G
My master's gone away.

And when he ride in the afternoon,
I follow with a hickory broom;
The pony being very shy,
When bitten by the blue tail fly.

One day he rode around the farm,
The flies so numerous they did swarm;
One chanced to bite him on the thigh.
The devil take that blue tail fly.

The pony run, he jump and pitch,
And tumble mater in the ditch;
He died, and the jury wondered why;
The verdict was the blue tail fly.

They buried him 'neath the sycamore tree -
His epitaph there for to see:
"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie,
The victim of a blue-tailed Fly."

LYRICS
Playing the game did you get your fill
Staying the same stuck in overkill
Filling shoes ’til your time comes due
No! Biding time just won’t do
Given a moment of movement
Moving mountains in the time lent

Wilding the tame open up the cage
Freeing wild game on the world stage
Bobbing and weaving you can’t catch me
Tasting freedom only want to be free
Given a moment of movement
Moving mountains in the time lent
