Writing the Song Nep-Tune on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City

LYRICS

Neptune
There is no inept tune
Hum some. Whistle some.
Hum. Whistle.
Shoot a sonic missile

Underneath the mistletoe
where it’s right to love all
Soar above the noise and confusion
’till you surpass the Grand Illusion

The blessed from Atlantis
the bliss that is
Under the sea

The blessed from Atlantis
the bliss that is
Ability
See! See?

Neptune from the Atlantis abyss
Floats above and saves us

LYRICS
Caught between
A pig
And, a wet blanket
Smothering me
With the terroristic drastic

Please ween me
From your dictatorship
Your narcissistic flip

The militant mean
The militant mean
You know harm
The militant: mean

The pig skin’s sheen
Doesn’t make him cleam
A big pig
Doesn’t make a big man
Just dessert
Of ham

LYRICS
The High Roller
Hits the wrong Note
Likes to holler
Roll in conceit and gloat

Think ya rule…
Rule the world
Think you’re cool
But, that gets old

Why don’t ya try
To lighten up
Say good-bye
To acting tough

Cuz ya ain’t that big
And, ya ain’t that bold
Maybe you should try
Acting small
After all,
That;s what you are
So, you won’t need to stretch that far
Give up the ignorance
Give up the grimace

LYRICS
Rape, pilfer and plunder
What a tragedy
Is it any wonder
There’s only yesterday
As far as the eye (I) can see

Yes, it’s time to move on
I do believe you’re beatin’
That dead horse to death
Yes, it’s time to move on
I do believe you’ve eatin’
To the entrails through the flesh

Scrape, litter and squander
What a tragedy
Is it any wonder
No more tomorrow
For you or me

I wish we were apt to adapt
Waste our waste
Trash our trash
Smash our thrash

Twinkle, twinkle little star
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7
All good children go to heaven

Twinkle, twinkle little star
Dare to wonder
You’ll travel far

Twinkle, twinkle little star
Never tragic
Just a little bizarre

You shine. You shine. You do.
You shine. You shine. Heart so true.

LYRICS
We can fight, kick and scream
We can destroy… try n’ shatter the dream
Or…
We can have cake and ice cream?

I’d rather do that
Peace, love and understanding
Is where it’s at
I’d rather do that

We can siphon off the cream
Pollute every stream
Turn it all brown from green
Rob every child from being a teen
Or…
We can take a ride on a moonbeam

Dance and sing
Create a beautiful thing
Movement and color
A delightful scene

You can bet I’d rather do that
’till the day I die
I’d rather do that

LYRICS
If you go indifferent
You’ll come out different
When time turns real
Don’t forget how to feel

You’re running the rat race
Getting fat for the cat
Gonna bury your soul with that hunk of meat?
R.I.P. Rest In Peace

You seem to forget
An eternity of regret
Seize the moment
Less the moment seizure you

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 2
Written and recorded in Ambler and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on May 20, 2012. It’s about a disease that attacks most humans — growing old. As children turn into adults, they tend to become indifferent about life. Please, oh please, Lord… not me.

ABOUT THIS SONG
Em
Em / Am / D / G
reprise A / D / G

Written and recorded on May 19, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It is a song about what humans are made of… including the ghost in the machine. Approximately 70 percent of the human body is made up of water. Our waste is mostly salt water. However, there is that part we call the soul. While I was writing the song, three children climbed up onto the pedestal of the statue and commenced to do a wild jig. That was exactly the ghost in the machine I was trying to describe.

LYRICS
“I don’t even know what’s under there”
Into space, I stare
And, wonder
Have you ever even thought of scratching the surface?

Blow away some debris
See what you see
Throw away your pedigree
Set yourself free

Decorate with fringe and lace
Celebrate with friends
Our place
God of Thunder
Loving Mother Earth
That fave us birth

Only a fool fears being a fool

Depth charge your soul
And, see what will surface

LYRICS
Sometimes the littlest thing
Is not a trivial thing
The way a bird can sing
And, wake you in the morning

The way the atmosphere can make the sky appear
Blue
The way the smile in your eye
Lifts my heart… I can fly!

I dreamed I flew to you
The next scene… explicit… too

Strapped into our car seats
We roll down our windows
Wave and give thumbs up

We stretch out of our strollers
Spin our head like an owl
Hoot. Scream. Let out a howl!

We’re the preschool of rock
We love our beats
We’re the preschool of rock
Feel free. Tap your feet.
We’re the preschool of rock
What a musical treat
We’re the preschool of rock
Sweet for our ears to eat

We’re the preschool of rock
So happy to meet
We’re the preschool of rock
Let’s rock the block

Rung by rung

The ruler of time
Measures your age

Whether you’re a hit

Deems you — sage
The more you create
The brighter you lit

Moving up the ladder a bit

Movie star’s in my future

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
First star I see tonight
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright

Puttin’ on the new dress — formal ball
Everybody’s trying to call
[Have my agent take their name
While I try n’ stay sane]

For my motion picture’s opening scene
Wish I may, wish I might
Make that silver screen shine bright
