LYRICS
Cruising along
Did you check your gauge
Cruising along
Did you check your age
’cause you can’t go pass
When you’re out of gas
No you can’t go home
When your tank’s dry as a bone

Playing along
Did you check your gauge
Playing along
Did you check your age
’cause you can’t play loud
When your data’s lost in the cloud
No one hears what you said
When your battery’s dead

Filling up
Topping off the tank
Charging up
The electric spank
If you want to go fast
And you want it to last
Don’t want to be the fool
Running out of fuel

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is that right?
Is that what they say
Is that right
Righteousness right this way
I should have seen it coming
The proof is in the pudding
Righteousness oozing and running
Is that right?
Is that what they say
Is that right?
Well, that’s not O.K.
Is that right?
Brain farted delay
Is that right?
Not right! Touché
Is that right?
Righteous decay

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Pollinating pistil plays
SO sticky stigma stays
Blooming blossom strays
Watching,
The whirlwind carries
Winds of chaos blowing
The nectar us flowing

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
Love the seasons… love them all
But, there’s nothing like the fairies ball

Looking for them
Here they come
One-by-one
Listening for them
The sound true
As they sing out
Two-by-two
Feeling for them
Feeling me
As they reach out
Three-by-three
Multiplying
Here come more
Spreading out
Four-by-four

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
So cruel
When you want to rule
The World
Control
The only goal
When you want to rule
The World
Here’s the thing
If your birth on Earth
Is to be her King
Relent
Your real worth
Paying rent
As servant

The fool
Who wants to rule
The world
Your gain is insane
When you want to rule the world
(chorus)

A mule
When you want to rule the world
Born stubborn
When you want to rule the world
(chorus)

LYRICS
One way or another
Going to find out
What it’s all about
One day if not sooner
Going to find out
Remove any doubt
Open and close the door
Until there aren’t any more

One way or another
Let’s figure out
What it’s all about
I’ll sing it in song
While you sing along
You can even shout!

LYRICS
What do you think
Going with instinct
Before you can blink
Start
Look in your heart
Luck
That’s in your gut
In such
Contact the love above

What do you think
Basic instinct
Her nod and wink

What do you think
Collective link
Souls in sync

What do you think
Swim or sink
Drown or drink

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Many a mile
And millions of mouths
To feed
Try and smile
And millions in wealth
Secede
How I yearn to learn
Why the empires burn?
An age old riddle
Why does Nero fiddle?

Far and wide
There’s millions of minds
To feed
Still they hide
Their millions all kinds
Don’t need
(chorus)

Near and far
There’s millions of hearts
To feed
Still they starve
There’s millions of parts
That bleed
(chorus)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You know it must be getting deep
Catch yourself running
In your sleep
Blood curdling scream
Doesn’t make a peep
Time to awake
The reality leap
You know it must be getting weird
While you’re dreaming
You grew a beard
First day of class
And as you feared
Naked, lost
The room cleared

Wake up and dream
Be the light beam
Rise up — the cream
Blow off — the steam

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
That dog, I love her
She loves me, too
Everything I wanna do
She wants to do, too
Don’t know about you
I’m tempted for two
But ‘cha know
She’s just right
So, I just might
Let it grow
Don’t know about you
When Man’s best friend is in view

(Inspector Clouseau) “I thought you said your dog….”
(Inn Keeper) “That is not my dog.”

I’ve got the dog-gone-it blues
Noooo… please don’t confuse
With the dog days of summer
That dog’s gone
What a bummer
Now, I might need three
To get me
Through the night
Yes, that’s right
A 3 dog night
Alright!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What did you say…
Can I give you the time of day?
(The least I could do
For you)
1, 2, 3, 4
It’s time for sure
1, 2, 3, 4
It’s time for more
… 2, 3, 4
OK?
Does the time and a rhyme
Suit?
(Don’t want the boot
Rather cahoot
With you)
If so, you know
… 2, 3, 4
Give me some more
I’m awash in time
I’m lost in time

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Maybe not the first try
But if you try, try, try
The solution for why
Is going to stop on by
Swerve on the learning curve
Till you get to know the flow
You’ve got to hold on tight, right?
And know when to let go
Let go!

Maybe not the first time
But if you keep tryin’
Stop worrying ’bout dyin’
Everything will turn out fine

I knew you would get it
As you drew near to persevere
Now we’ll never forget it
Open when the zen is here

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Where are you headed
Is it on the way
Our parting’s dreaded
Why don’t you stay
Rather kiss you
Than to miss you
I don’t know why
You say goodbye
I’m feeling bye is bad
I’m feeling oh so sad
Think of all the time we could of had

Where are you going
Why don’t you stay
Hearts will be owing
Lonelier by the day
Shaking my head
At death’s bed
Asking why you had to die
Dead
{sigh}

LYRICS
If it’s a minor offense
Why take such offense
Such a major offense
If it’s a minor offense
Why take offense
Defensive is what it is
For sure
Your posture
Pasteurized
Posturing
Past your eyes
Yes it is
Defensive
Past your eyes
Posturing

LYRICS
Hey, the final countdown?
Say, it’s coming ’round?
Hey, the final countdown?
Say, is it going ’round?
If we’re all going up
See opportunity
And raise our cup
If we’re all going up
Seize opportunity
And raise our cup

Wait! You have to wait
Wait! Please hesitate

No! I don’t want to go
Know I don’t want to go
So, the message they send
Whoa! It’s The End

LYRICS
Sunset
Gonna get
One step
Closer by a day
Sunset
Quota me
No regret
We’re on our way
Who’s to say
Our days are numbered?
Don’t count
The amount left wondered
After all
Nightfall
Roll call
Let the music play
Nightfall
Natural
Miracle
To live another day
