Getting Closer.mp3

LYRICS
Here I am
There you are
Aren’t we standing just a little too far
Apart
Let’s start
Getting Closer
Negate
Separate
Gaining closure

Here I can
You can, too
Shouldn’t we do all we can do?
Negate
Separate
Getting closer
Abate
Desperate
Heart tender

Tender-hearted
Let’s get started

LYRICS
I worked so hard for my money
Since stolen by the anti-honey
I watched Mama stealing candy
From my baby
Is there an excuse? No way!
Not maybe

What kind of person would do that
Unkind of person just like that
What kind of mother would do that
Unkind sort just like that

Unfit? More than just a bit.
Crazy. Lazy.
Forever to remain insane
Criminally insane refrain

LYRICS
Living each day
In the fullest way
Trying to make reason
As I rhyme

After pain and suffering
Comes the joy of relief
There’ a new season
A new time

The insane rebuffing
Proves my belief
There’ a new season
A new time

Friends may come
And, friends may go
But there’s one thing that I know
You’ll be there ’till the end
Then, backstage after the show

Friends may come
And, friends may go
But there’s one thing that I know
Love is the message that we send
Be ye friend or be ye foe?

LYRICS
What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?
I can see your lips move
But, I can’t understand
What you demand

Who made you king of the world

What are you talking about?

Have you gone mad
Trying to make people sad

It’s been way too long that you’ve been wrong
I didn’t mean to be the one to point it out
But, there’s only so much you can dish out
What are you talking about?

Her Eyes Upon Me.mp3

LYRICS
Is she looking at me?

As she walks in the door
Across the dance floor
Beaming from ear-to-ear
With the smile upon her face
Drawing ever near
Wrapping arms around me in an embrace

Is she looking at me?

She looks me in the eye
Then, I know
She looks I in the eye
Then, I knew
Oh, yeah! She’s looking at me

It feels oh so good
The way she wraps her arms around me
It’s a glimpse of heaven I see

Ahhh… she’s looking at me

LYRICS
My oh my
You think you can make that pig fly

Fat chance
If you think you can get that pig to dance

You might as well be writing some paperback romance
’cause you’re dreaming
In case you didn’t get it
You’re having a nightmare
And, I can only see one way clear —
Wake up!

There’s no way you will remain
Unless you pray for an angelic refrain

Order in the court
This ain’t no tort
It’s criminal

Order
Order in the court
This is criminal
It ain’t no tort

Do you not understand
The serious nature
Of our accusations
Can’t you see that in a straight jacket
You have limited options

C,c,c,c,c, control

Order in the court
This is criminal
It ain’t no tort

There is no chance
You will get out of this unscathed
There is very, very little chance
You’ll be saved

In what do you believe

C,c,c,c, control
It’s natural
You’re out of control

LYRICS
There will be a time
When the Earth and sky fly
And, you’ll be faced with a lake of fire
And, you’ll be wishing you could get higher

On your Judgement Day
What will you say
Will you find a way
To escape the lake of fire

Every dog has it’s day
And, when it comes to be your day
What will you say
On your Judgement Day

Everybody will meet their maker
After all, you met your mom
When you first started living
In her womb
Now you think you don’t have enough room

Your money ain’t no good on the other side

If you get thrown
And fall on your ass
Just be glad
It’s in your past
Ya gotta get up
Get up and do it again

Poor little Jack
Fell down… broke his crown
Still the fact
It’s in your past
Ya gotta get up
Get up and do it again

Hubris
Fell to Nemesis
Falling humbles
No more grumbles
Ya gotta get up
Get up and do it again

LYRICS
Do you remember
All those years ago
When you wondered
About the wonders
Of the world

Go swinging on the monkey bars
Dream up things and shoot for the stars
The days when we’d climb trees
Dream of days when we’d look back at these

Chorus

Go swimming on hot summer days
Play you guitar and try to amaze
Make paper airplanes fly with the breeze
Dream of days when we’d look back on these

Tell me what we’re standing for?

To just right next door

Is this country sick
Or, can we make music?
Music sweet as honey’s

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
