LYRICS
Better sit down
The wheels go round
Even if you can stand no longer
There’s the support of the stronger
As the wheels go round and round
May freedom found abound
As the wheels go round and round
Freedom ringing is the sound
Set yourself free
Upward mobility
The world you’ll see
Semi-dependently
We all need somebody
For an everybody
WE all are somebody
Part of everybody
Together we’ll weather
Going round and round
No matter “whatever”
With a smile it’s found
Riding a merry-go-round
Going round and round
As the wheels go round and round
May freedom found abound
As the wheels go round and round
Freedom ringing is the sound

LYRICS
A view
A window on the world
What can I do
To make the colors bold
A view
Red, yellow, blue
The spectrum’s hue
Point-of-view
A view
Out of the dark
Into the new
Be the spark (new knew, a new anew)
A view
Help me to see
What can I do
To enlighten me
A view
Into the light
A view
Giving me sight
A view of you

LYRICS
Authorized personnel only
Wonder if they’re lonely?
What’s beyond the door
Are there any more?

Can it be realized
How to be authorized
Is there a center
For “do not enter”

What makes one special
Features that are facial
Does it all start
Examining the heart

Authorized personnel only
Must be simply lovely
What’s behind the door
Can any human endure?

LYRICS
We’ve got a war on cancer
The only problem…
The cancer’s in her
The war on the goblin
The issue at heart
Hard to tell them apart

Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

We’ve got a war on terror
The only error
The terror of terror
I just don’t know
Can we wage war on a shadow
Here we go
Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

We’ve got a war on war
We just can’t wait
Fighting hate with hate
The real debate
Can you hate hate?
Ahhh… it’s too late
Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

LYRICS
I read, “The late Alfred Doe”
Late? He’s really dead, though
Beyond tired…
Expired
Beyond past due
He’s through
I’ve got the future past life blues
When I die
Hope you stop by
n’ say “hi” and “good-bye”
When I die
Hope you stop by
Or at least try

I heard, “The late Jane Doe”
Late? At her rate…
Died in the fast lane, though
All horizontal
Open casket… full frontal
I’ve got the future past life blues

When they say I’m dead and gone
Sing that “Jolly Good Fellow” song
Any time of me you think
Raise your glass and toast a drink
I’ve got the future past life blues

LYRICS
I saw a jigsaw
Puzzle
Fallen to pieces
Broken… old
New life leases
Put together
Escaping never
Trying to get the picture
To ensure we’ll endure
The art of the parts into a dream scene

I can’t wait to see what we’ll be
Our part in the heart of art
The puzzle’s solution
Our evolution

How long will we be together
Can it last forever and ever
Will someone start to pull us apart
Once they dismember will they remember
… will they begin to make us whole again?

LYRICS
The fading scene of the magazine
Once the scourge of the forest
Now it’s being put to rest
Soon I hope to see
The same thing happen to TV

Maybe we can learn to earn
The need to earn to learn
An appreciation for the acquisition
Of knowledge as privilege

Today and forever more
Banished to a waiting room
In the fading light of glory before
Parent of an empty womb

With any luck, reincarnated
Instead of to the garbage fated
Recycled to a new life form
A birthday to be reborn

The fading scene of the magazine
Once the scourge of the forest
Now it’s being put to rest
… think it’s best

LYRICS
How long?
Then, when?
Will we right the wrong?
Welcome to the unknown zone

We’re sure we’re unsure
OF the suffering to endure
Gain the knowledge of pain
Or in bliss remain?

Welcome to the unknown zone
No help to cry. No help to moan.
Hoping I’m not alone
For the raising of the spirit
Ahhh… Want to hear it

A song that makes us smile
Been unknown for quite a while
No longer own the unknown
For I know it’s true:
I love you
Yes, I do

LYRICS
What about your peculiar
Find a stranger strange
When normal, you rearrange
Do you know who you are?
You don’t have to search far
Frequent a bizarre bazaar

Find it a little unusual
Oh, my God! It’s so odd
Too askew for you
Think it’s all abnormal?
You don’t have to search far
Frequent a bizarre bazaar

Are you indifferent to the different
Tame the lame ’till it’s all the same
Tried to warn the monotony of lukewarm
Can’t you see the beauty of variety?
You don’t have to search far
Frequent a bizarre bazaar

LYRICS
Watching the pendulum swing
Perpetual dumb on the wing
You can try and try
Piling lie upon lie
But you can’t make the truth die

The nation gasps a collective sigh
Dumbfounded… why, why, why?
The scales of justice must balance
At heaven’s gate there’s no second chance

Watching the pendulum swing
It’s time to question everything
Though you try and try
Supporting a lie with a lie
You know you can’t make the truth die

Watching the pendulum swing
Certain the future will bring
Justice for us
The truth we’ll unveil
We’ll prevail
Making the call
Justice for all

Hearts Attack

LYRICS
Before it was too late
The hearts heard of the hate
Arm me with an army
Heart attacks
Plug the holes where love lacks
Hearts attack
The humanity comeback

Before it was too late
The hearts heard of our fate
A leg up… arm me
Heart attacks
Quadruple bypass where love lacks
Heart attacks
The flow of love comes back

Sure hope it’s not too late
For your heart to participate
Early heart attack care
Are you aware?
It’s time to start
Arm your heart
Pick up love’s slack… attack!

While sitting in the hospital’s waiting room, I saw a brochure entitled “Early Heart Attack Care”. It inspired a song about the love in your heart.

LYRICS
Spend your life hanging on a wall
Wondering if anyone is looking at all
Canvasing the canvas with finesse
A pallet of colors for a dress
Picture this
A perfect world… nothing amiss
Picture this
Spotlight above gives a light kiss

Do you know Rembrandt or Picasso
Have you had a brush with fame
The unique aura that you throw
No two quite the same
[chorus]

Forever in a static state
Never to escape your landscape
All you life you wait and wait
To be auctioned at estate
[chorus]

LYRICS
Ear true
Hear through
The ether
Clean the wounds form salts
Rub them in a waltz
Fixer elixir of the soul
Fill with rock and roll
Dance can reign you clean
Polished with music for the sheen
Just for you
Ear true
Hear through
The ether
Endless tether
GO on for ever and ever
Light as a feather
A spiritual endeavor
Void of time
Full of space
Muteless mime
Not a trace
Ear true
Hear through

LYRICS
Our rush hour
Voltage thread
Display of power
’til but one dead
Understanding
Last man standing
Meaning we’re all going to die
Procreate alone? No, not I
No matter how hard I try
Our race to end our race
Congratulation! First place
[We’ve got a winner… want a cigar or mug of beer? I fear]
Will there be later
In this simulator
Folklore failure
Of the incubator
The premature
Exterminator
Outta luck
Better duck
’cause it’s a cluster#uck
