LYRICS
Are you aware of the squawking bird
Beware of the squawking bird
Squawking bird
How absurd
Squawked for hours
About hers not ours
Does anybody know
Where did the scarecrow go
(If they only had a brain that was sane….)

Screeching bird
How absurd
Screeching for days
About changing ways
Ours not hers

Relentless bird
How absurd
Acts as if no one heard
Never occurred?

Has anyone heard
From the silent bird
Let’s look in the giblets

LYRICS
Can you hear hell?
Clear as a bell
IF judgment is coming
Why are you running
Well, can’t you tell
You can’t outrun hell

Can you smell hell?
Not hard to tell
Rotten eggs n’ burning sulfur
Nausea and diarrhea sufferer
Judgement day is on the way
Well, you can’t outrun hell

Can you taste hell?
Bitter farewell
An aftertaste of human waste
Laid to waste in our haste
Mankind fell
Trying to outrun hell

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What do your wealth and mouth
Have in common?
Money is a medium of exchange
And so is language
Pop the cork… champagne fizz
Put your money where you mouth is
Her’s and His’

Want to transfer fast cash fast
Don’t let another moment pass
Pay your dues in the past
Your word is in the future’s grasp
Don’t let strife
Ruin your life
Free yourself from the chains of exchange
Make Mother Nature your wife
Put your money where your mouth is
There’s an urgency in this currency quiz
Her’s and His’

LYRICS
Free looks here
Free looks hear
In case I’m not clear
You can listen, too
Sing and dance… do what you wanna do

Free looks here
Free looks hear
If I’m not coming in clear
Tune into the tunin’
Once you’re in you’re jammin’

Free looks here
Free looks hear
Appreciate the round of beer
Mighty neighborly of you
So, it’s the least I can do…. (jam)

Free looks here
Free looks hear
Love your heart-warming cheer
Love the response from you
Sing and dance… do what you wanna do

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What? Where? When?
What then?
Should I anticipate
To hurry up and wait?
It’s too late to wait to wait

No if? And?
But then?
Can’t be present
At a non-event
It’s too late to wait to wait

Wow! Now? How?
I vow…
Can’t participate
In hurry up and wait
It’s too late to wait to wait

Clock? Tick-tock?
Time stopped
Should I resuscitate
Or hurry up and wait?
It’s too late to wait to wait
Can’t wait to wait

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Wasn’t thinking anything fancy
Just some good ole rock n’ roll
Will you and me dance? Let’s see!
Playing post-modern rock n’ roll

A lil’ thing for if you wanna swing
With none of that jazz or classical gas
Nothing too neat but rocks a beat
Flex reflex moving feet from seats

Not epic or big just to make you jig
Not top-of-the-pop rubble
But, it might pop your bubble
Reggae’s fine most of the time
But I want a chip off the ole block
Rock!

LYRICS
Planted on the planet of plenty
A healthy harvest from coast to coast
From see to shining see
On the cusp of being robust
Planet Earth or bust
(On the cusp of us being beings)

Hitchhiker of the galaxy
Planned on the planet of plenty
To see the shining see

Like the stars in the heavens
Bringing light to the heathens
Where the end ends beginning begins

Yes, indeed we’re approaching light speed
Out of our vacuum into spacetime continuum

Posted on by admin

The cloud is a shroud
Clouding the sun
A veil to curtail
The blue sky run
The wind of change is gonna come
n’ blow ’em back to where they came from

Discover the cloud cover
Blocking the sun
Obscure the pleasure
OF a blue sky run
The wind of change is gonna come
n’ blow ’em back to where they came from

Storm clouds on the horizon
Keep my eyes on
If they don’t fade
Gonna rain on the parade
The wind of change is gonna come
n’ blow ’em back to where they came from

Out from below
The cloud’s shadow
No we’re not done
The blue sky run
The wind of change has come
n’ blew ’em back to where they came from

LYRICS
Where did I go?
I don’t know
On the down-low
Subterranean flow
Please keep out an eye
For I
Haven’t been seen around
Don’t know if I want found

Are you aware
Maybe I’m there
And will you share
Whether you care?

What is about
Stuck my head out
Now there’s no doubt
What I’m talkin’bout
Please keep out an eye for I
Many perils awry
And, I don’t what to die

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Watch the fish flail
No water in the pail
Watch the human fail
In a self-imposed jail
Help me break free
For a happy end to the tale

Baby bird fell from its nest
Trouble passing the test
Surely the humans jest?
The wicked get no rest
Help break me free
A happy ending is best

Cute little kitten in distress
Cruel human could care less
’til no wind in his sail
Talk about an epic fail
Help me break free
For a happy end to the tale

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A most amazing thing
When I started to sing
The animals threw a ball
A bird call went out to all
Butterflies fluttering
Flirting with the wind
Man’s troubles abandoned

In the most amazing way
When I started to play
Critters began to party
Their animal spirits set free
The bird call went out to all
The forest and field yield
As the seventh seal is revealed

Before flora and fauna are forgot
Why not strike while the iron is hot
Start to stop to smell the roses
Watch the wildlife striking poses

LYRICS
Time to get back out on the dance floor
’til music penetrates every pore
’til music pours from every pore
As we lay down the dancing groove
Come and show us how you move
1,2,3,4
Hope you’re ready to dance some more
Left foot then right
Dance all night ’til dawn’s daylight

Shake it up, baby, twist and shout
Let that dancing demon find its way out

Nobody do the voodoo like you do
And, to think I never knew

LYRICS
Did you look in the cook book?
How did your foul/fowl get loose
If they cooked your goose
Then again I reckon
There’s too many cooks in the kitchen

Did you see the recipe
How to prepare holy cow
Is beyond my know-how
Then again I reckon
There’s too many cooks in the kitchen

Did you check the list of ingredients
There are no replacement condiments
In the human experiment
And, again I reckon
There’s too many kooks in the kitchen

LYRICS
I’ve got to get out of this funk
Thinkin’ I’m stinkin’ like a skunk
… got to get out of this funk
And, into the funk
(P.U…. you, too)

I’ve got to get out of this funk
Feeling like a Buddhist monk
… got to get out of this funk
And, into the funk
(Bring the Om home)

I’ve got to get out of this funk
All the clutter and junk
… got to get out of this funk
And, into the funk
(Sound of backing up trash truck. “Haul it out of hear/here”)

I’ve got to get out of this funk
All the bull$hit and bunk
… got to get out of this funk
And, into the funk
(Tell us true… boo, boo, boo)

I’ve got to get out of this funk
Far from feelings sunk
… got to get out of this funk
And, into the funk
(Everyone try feeling high)

I don’t know if I’m really prepared to miss you
Come again
Same ole problem when you’re burying kin

I don’t know if I’m really prepared to miss you
Don’t let it end
Same ole problem when you bury a friend

I don’t know if I’m really prepared to miss you
Gettin’ me riled
Same ole problem when you buy a child

I don’t know if I’m really prepared to miss you
I sure do
Same ole problem when I’m missing you

Why wait? Before it’s too late
Bury the hatchet
Ratchet it up a bit
Bury the hatchet
Why wait? Before it’s too late
