LYRICS
I’m getting interference
In the transmission
Are you getting inner fear
In this “Man’s Mission”?

I’m getting interference
In the passage of the message
Final elimination
Is this “Man’s Mission”?

Damnation nation
The Passage Age

I’m getting interference
In the signal to the “All”
Is “The Fall” the inner fear
Transmission of “Man’s Mission”?

Have you heard the dirt
On the men of the Earth/earth
Earthlings
Birthlings in pain
Insane?
I fear there’s no ear in EARth
Can’t seem to hear here
Falling on a deaf ear
We’re breaking up
Breaking up

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Too much screen between the scene
Blocking the sun out
Casting a sheen on the serene
Fog it up with doubt

Amaze at the ways we fill our days
Blocking the sun out
When will we begin to let the sun in
Lettin’ the shinnin’ sunshine shine in

I see too much debris in the air
I swear
Sense the fear of the smear
In the atmosphere
Stand clear

Too much mean between the dream
Blocking the love out
Time to shine our glean with the scene
Faith in no doubt
(Our faith in no doubt)

Fogged up
Fogged it up

ABOUT THE SONG
Humans have demanded and created the situation where children have to wear sunscreen to protect themselves from the environment — blocking the sun out. Perhaps the situation is just a microcosm of the larger problem? Adults have clouded the atmosphere with hate — blocking the light out.

What the hell
Crack open your shell
And try to fly

It’s just as well
Or how ya gonna tell
Unless you try

Experience your essence
In the presence of the present
’cause it will be gone before too long

LYRICS
The temperature dropped about 20 degrees
Won’t be long before a freeze

The children jump for joy
Every last girl and boy
The children jump for joy
… for joy!

There’s a chill I’ve come to know
Right before it’s ready to snow

The scent of pine fills the air
Signaling the season is there

Holly and mistletoe
All the stocking hanging in a row

Mouth watering turkey
Mash potatoes and gravy!

Good tiding we send
Another year’s glorious end

This is the season
For another one to begin

LYRICS
Though this might be one strange trip
Please don’t give up upon the ship
… don’t give up the ship
I mean… what the heck?
All hands on deck
All feet on the floor
It’s time to dance some more

Mind take flight
Gain insight
Hearts delight
King in sight

As you may go on your way
They say “don’t forget to play”
No matter how strange of a trip
Please don’t give up the ship

Mind take flight
Gain insight
Hearts delight
King in sight

LYRICS
Do you want to go (go, go, go)
Do you want to go to and fro
I don’t know
I heard said if we head ahead
I don’t know
Heard said so
If we head ahead… nothing to dread
I heard said
So, let’s go

I can understand if you want to go hand-in-hand
Or if you want a freehand
To freestyle for a while

Do you want to yes or to no?

Do you want to hide or to show?

Do you want to fade or to glow?

LYRICS
Just like you told me
“What will be will be”

There is no doubt about
I finally found out
Out with song to move along
Let it be
Just like you told me

Can’t see any uncertainty
Logical in it’s entirety
Put to song we’ll move along
Let it be
Just like you told me

World without end, Amen
Love to do it again and again
One more song to move along
Let it be
Just like you told me

LYRICS
Survival on the verge of trouble
Between the fittest and the hit-list
We might find we pass the test
… think it’s best?
Think it’s best!

Survival on the edge of rubble
Between a rock and a hard place
Stuck betwixt the human race
… need some space?
Need some space

Survival of mankind on the ledge
Have you heard of the herd mentality?
Sooner of later… eventually
Cliff diving
Few surviving

LYRICS
Is anybody upstairs
Is anybody there
Putting faith in nothing
Anticipating something

Though we’re spinning round and round
We’re looking upward to be found
Rotations never slowing down
Going round and round

The logic of God is odd
Living for the approval nod
Selfish expression of sole sacrifice
Sugar and spice and everything nice

Is a supernatural being
Being natural at all?
No touching, hearing or seeing
Are you testing my gall?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I can’t find the words to say
It makes me want to holler
No, I can’t find the words today
Yet, collect another dollar

No matter what I say you come through everyday
No matter what I do… you come through
It give me hope in humanity
Helps me keep my sanity

I wish the lyrics would come on quick
Full of soul and wit
I know once the thoughts start to flow
Music will sway me to and fro

You take my square peg writer’s block
Out of my head’s round hole
You help pull my soul
With a tinge of ole’ folk rock

Another Dollar.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
I was sitting on the wall of the courthouse trying to write this song. No words were coming to the chords I was strumming. After about 45 minutes a lady approached me and said, “Thank you for your music. We were sitting behind you.” Then, she asked if she could give me money.

LYRICS
If we want the human race
To endure for sure
Why not get ’em to laugh
… and, get ’em to laugh some more

Laughter our weapon on terror
Laughter the best deterrent to war

Laughter will trump the fear
Laughter shields those we hold dear

Laughter is what we’re after
Bring on the laughter faster and faster

Laughter – the best medicine
Bring on the laughter again and again

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. — Mark Twain

LYRICS
Greener pasture in store
Blue sky horizon (eyes on) high
Find a better way for me to throw this clay
Nestle a better vessel
Soul stored for the day

Impurity succumbs to the gravity
Form to the shape of a hairless ape
Dot the “I’s” and lace with grace
Occupy space with a brave face

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When the Autumn comes
I fall all over you
There’s not much I can do
It’s the season to fall for you

Become aware there’s something in the air
Make a memory to share
You know we’ve got to let the summer go
Before you know — snow
(Yeah, here/hear we go)

Open up the window
I want to take in some more
One thing’s for sure
Open up the door lore
I want to take in some more
You know let’s go go-go
Out the door and take in some more

Fall All Over You.mp3

A celebration of Autumn.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Building a building
Meant to tear people down
Name’s misleading
There ain’t no justice in this town

All but lost and forgotten
To the core they are rotten

Take some time
And dare to look around
Reason… rhyme?
Ask but can’t be found

Lady liberty
Well, she just can’t see
She blindly
Weighs just to the mighty
(ways to balance the mighty)

Painting a painting
With a thousand words
Champion debating
Melting down their swords
