bookmark_borderThe Knack

LYRICS
Just like that
You’ll get the knack
Try and get
The rock and roll back
The toe tap
Finger snap
I concede what we need
Guitar that makes fingers bleed
Just like that
Blues kickback
Matter of fact
Nothin’ you lack

bookmark_borderA Beauty

LYRICS
Do you see the beauty in the entirety?
Do you see the entirety in the beauty?
Except for there where Killroy’s here
I’ve become aware of what I hear
I see the beauty [Do you? Do you….]
It’s found all around
In the sound
All around

Do you feel the beauty in the entirety?
Do you feel the entirety in the beauty?
Except for where man’s left his mark
The light overtakes the dark
I see the beauty [Do you? Do you….]
It’s found all around
In the sound
All around

Do you see the beauty in the entirety?
Do you see the entirety in the beauty?
Except for the scars of mankind
I kind-of love the beauty in all I find
I see the beauty [Do you? Do you….]
It’s found all around
In the sound
All around

bookmark_borderGolden Debris

LYRICS
Penalized another time?
Did your toe go over the line?
Entertained by a mime?
Think this show is just fine?

(chorus)
One man’s used debris
Another would pay a fee
One man’s pain and agony
Another feels glee

In a tug of war with the world
Or in the corner… a fetus curled
On the bleeding edge of society
Or given up on sobriety

Does what I believe even matter
A positive attitude shatter
Climbin’ Wittgenstein’s ladder
To a place beyond clutter

bookmark_borderIn the Twilight of the Light

LYRICS
In the twilight of the light
Comes the night
Our closest star, the Sun
Becomes done (undone, done, undone)
The light before us
Too bright to be a star
Nor, that far
Is Venus
The planet of love
Shinning in from above

In the twilight of the light
Comes the night
Our closest star, the Sun
Becomes done (undone, done, undone)
The light before us
Too bright to be a star
Nor, that far
… Mercury
We see Mercury
The God of speed
Witnessing our deed

In the twilight of the light
Went the night
