LYRICS
I know that we’re neighbors
I know that we’re friends
I know where you are
I know where you’ve been
I know your means
And, I know your ends
I know your whores
And, I know your kin

I know things about you
That I really can’t explain
But, for the life of me
I can’t remember your name

LYRICS
Just wait ’till after dark
Catch sight of the spark
The flight of the lark
Stop! Look! Hark!

As dusk turns to dark you can make your mark
You’ll see after dark
The glow of an eye bright in the night. (Sight!)
You’ll see after dark

Chorus

As lust turns to love you get to embark
You’ll see after dark
There is you and I… going on our insight
You’ll see after dark

LYRICS
Just hit the panic button
That’s all you need do
Just hit the panic button
For an aid parade to you

You tune into the news
Things you’re seeing
Giving you the blues
Lightning! Fire!
Armageddon desire?
You tune into the news
The things that’re being
Making us lose
Frightening! Liar!
The Evil Empire

This song was inspired by an Eyewitness News Channel 3 Philadelphia crew filming in West Chester, PA.  And, since I invented the panic button for the world wide web, it seemed like an entertaining idea.

All the lies that you say
Redemption you can’t pray
Until your dieing day

Perjury’s an illegal attack

This song was inspired by the building collapses, and maybe… how they are a metaphor for the collapse of the economy, the environment and civilization?

Sooner or later
Ya know the water
Will wash it all away
Maybe tomorrow

That water washes away

Do you understand how the Canyon got Grand
Can you command land
Or oversee the sea?

Can your boat cross the mote
Ya know… across Styx to the rainbow?

I wrote the song about the rising sea level. Coincidentally, the next day we got hit by tropical storm Andrea dumping inches of rain on us.

The picture is from a 1998 paper written by the state of New Jersey on what happens when the ice melts.

LYRICS
If you want to see the vigor in me
Step a little closer and see what you see
If you want to see victory in “we”
Get off your high horse… come down from your tree

Chorus
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you
And, I really wonder what you’re up to
There use to be a place we could meet
Any more, I’m not sure if there’s a seat

If you want to see the real me
Take a closer look — intimacy
If you want to see the victorious us
Head right on course… get in focus

Chorus

From the womb to the tomb
Gonna live it the fullest… that I am!
From the bomb to the boom
Gonna let my soul, self, spirit scream

LYRICS
Despite what you might have thought was insight
The consensus — might doesn’t make right
Try as you may… try as you might
In the end, it’s you that you slight

Chorus
In everything that you do
Try to pull through
’till the skies are blue
You can always depend on me to pull through
… can I depend on you?

In spite of the nose on your face
The mucus — blight clogging your sight
Cut it off so you can deface
Come on… don’t try to swallow more than you can bite

Chorus

So, you cut of your nose to spite your face
Why not cut off your ear… ya know… Van Gogh?
So, you put off your mate to curse your fate
Crawl into the light out of your dark space

LYRICS
What do you think happened to your brain
To make you behave so strange
Is it in your genes… you’re mean… you strain
Turned into nails on the blackboard… people cringe

Is there hope you can be saved
Before you reach your grave
Is there a chance you’re less enraged
Relief from how you behave?

Chorus

What do you think happened to your heart
When it comes to unconditional love… you forgot
Over time your goodness did depart
Then, you left those you love to rot

Gonna make a proclamation or two

Coming to a city within view

Always too early to begin
Telling lies, hatred and sin
It’s never too late to begin
Feeling young inside again

It’s never too late to begin
Beloving the living of lovin’

LYRICS
Funny how one thing leads to another
Before you know it… it’s a chain reaction
Honey draws the flies more than vinegar
Suppose the choice lies in your selection

Chorus
Do you wonder how the other half lives
You might be surprised how much they give
Do you wonder, “What is my purpose?”
Is it more tan to be you, 2, 3, 4… for all of us

Sunny one minute cloudy the next
Before you know it… it’s a climate action
Money draws the lies out of context
Impose their will as some sort-of fiction

Chorus

Bunny goes from hunted to hunter
Who’s gonna die… who’s gonna live
The problem is not that perplexed
We will cause our own extinction

Every time it turned around
It burned it’s little seater

Sitting on a hot plate
Sitting on the stove
Temperature is temperate
What about the love?

Man has induced

Bringing on the pain
Ouch! Do some remain

The song was inspired by a heat wave during the last week of May. I tried sitting on my usual songwriting wall, but the stone was so hot it burned my rear. If we could only love as good as we pollute?
