More than twice
Turning beer to ice
Who’d of thunk
Alcohol is skunk
From slipping and sliding
There is no hiding
Better hope a bone chill
Will give you a thrill
−459 degrees
Make ya sneeze
Make ya freeze
ABOUT THIS SONG
This winter had been unusually cold. It made me start wondering how cold ice can get? A: The temperature of ice can approach absolute zero.
Absolute zero is the lowest temperature possible. More formally, it is the temperature at which entropy reaches its minimum value, 0. The laws of thermodynamics state that absolute zero cannot be reached using only thermodynamic means, as the temperature of the substance being cooled approaches the temperature of the cooling agent asymptotically. A system at absolute zero still possesses quantum mechanical zero-point energy, the energy of its ground state. The kinetic energy of the ground state cannot be removed.
The zero point of any thermodynamic temperature scale, such as Kelvin or Rankine scale, is set at absolute zero. By international agreement, absolute zero is defined as 0K on the Kelvin scale and as −273.15° on the Celsius scale. This equates to −459.67° on the Fahrenheit scale and 0 R on the Rankine scale.

LYRICS
When it’s freedom you attack
It will haunt and daunt and taunt
’cause you know it’s coming back
Chorus
We’re in the pursuit of happiness
With my inalienable rights you shall not mess / Do NOT tread
You ain’t gonna take my freedom away / No not today
You ain’t gonna take my freedom away / Not anyway
Though all the promises
Rings and roses
Where did the love go?
With all the missed kisses
We’re building bridges
Where did the love go?
Throughout all of time
Goodness shall outshine
Instead of me and mine
We’re in the hour of our
In the era of our
Era of our hour
Our era hour
Where did the love go? (Right here!)
Though all the promises
Rings and roses
Where did the love go? (It’s right here!)
With all the missed kisses
We’re building bridges
Where did the love go? (It’s right here!)

This song was inspired by one of my first girlfriends, Janet Welch of Clearfield, Pennsylvania. I sat down to write a song about Valentine’s Day and just started playing about love. This is what came out.
We were in high school… passing notes and falling in love. We made what I considered a great bet. She lost the bet; however, before she could fulfill her end of the bargain, she died in a car crash. Does a spirit live on?

LYRICS
Fighting for your attention
For your dollar’s collection
Fighting to take, take, take
Leaving giving in the wake
A veteran of the Christmas Wars
Putting the greedy behind bars
Better yet, take no prisoners
That can’t be dedicated followers
Playing on your emotion
But, on closer inspection
Fighting to take, take, take,
Try giving “for heaven’s sake!”
A veteran of the Christmas Wars
Your medal is to shine like the stars
Enlightening the universe for ever and ever
’till such time as God’s love ends… never!
Slaying all your religion
Raping Mary, The Virgin
Ripping the heart out of Christmas
Is war strategy for defeat… demise I surmise… alas
LYRICS
When I get close to you, there’s nothing that I can do
I start to march
Rhythm overtakes my heart
If I thirst
If the moth is parch
Let the march burst
Just you watch
Love will rain down
Love will reign down
Quench my thirst
Let the heart burst
No need to rehearse
Let the heart burst
Prior to the hearse

LYRICS
1, 2, 3, 4
1, 2, 3, for what do we dance?
1, to what do we dance?
Bark it out
Don’t be afraid
Make a sound
Be found… out
Bark it out
Don’t be afraid
You are what you made
Now, make of it what you will
Shake it… better still
1, 2, 3, 4 what are we dancing for?
Dance a suspense dance (can’t wait to anticipate)
Dance a surveillance dance (see if there’s a scene gleam)
Dance an independence dance
Dance a reverence dance
Dance to thank God we’ve got a chance to dance!
1, 2, 3, for what? 1, 2, 3, 4 what do we dance for?
Dance for what
Jump about
Electrify I. Give Watt! (see your energy)
