LYRICS
It’s been a long day pounding in nails
I suppose in comparison it pales
Then being nailed — crucified
They say back in the day
That’s the way
Martyrs died
Widows cried

LYRICS
Did they say…
Did they say there’s dues ya have to pay
Did they say?

Did they happen to mention
Was there any suggestion
Did they say
There’s a way

Good news day

You’re on your say
Avoid the troll
Avoid the toll

LYRICS
Incoming! Incoming!
Pilot to bombardier
If death you fear
You better hunker down
Hunker down!
Out fox the fox
Take command of her
Whole hole
Goal: foxhole
Hunker down
Quit foolin’ round
A serious situation
To the conundrum of a different drummer
Emancipation frustration
Incoming in comer
Where there is a will
There is a way
This will will weigh

bookmark_borderPut Some English On It

LYRICS
One toppled over backwards
The other fell to his knees
Ode to the power of our words
No , you can’t just do as you please
Oh, the cons of pronouns
The proposition of a preposition
A Book Of Proverb of verbs
…. observes….

As one becomes dumbfounded
Another is astounded
Words are mightier than swords
And in lifting spirits onward
Oh the pros of conjunctions
Or adjectives that agitate
Perplex with sentences complex

bookmark_borderWhat To Do When Lost

LYRICS
Something tells me
We’ve been here before
Wait! Stop now
Peculiar ritual walking in a circle
Before going further any more
Better straighten out some how
Now!
No need to panic
If you think quick
About the basic facts
… just relax
’cause anxiety
Will screw you for sure
Wait! Stop now
Just relax
Don’t have a heart attack
Try saying a nursery rhyme
To bring you back into time
1, 2
1, 2, 3, 4
Mary had a little lamb
And tied it to a heater
Every time it turned around… it burned it’s little seater

LYRICS
Turnabout! Tag… and you’re it
Figure out there’s no way to quit?
If you hide, I will seek
Seven days in a week
You’re saying red rover, red rover?
I’m coming right over

Turnabout! Tag… and you’re it
Figure out there’s no way to quit?
When you whisper rumors down the lane
Will it ever end the same
If it’s follow the leader, I’m your man
Come on! Can you kick the can?

Turnabout! Tag… and you’re it
Figure out there’s no way to quit?
Marco? Polo! Open your eyes
This may come as a surprise
Spin the bottle is the only game
That makes me feel I’ll never be the same

LYRICS
They call him “salt of the earth”
Ever since his birth
But, aren’t we all mineral… after all?
Some say we’re made from clay
They don’t kid ’bout Adam’s rib
Hard to believe they made ‘er Eve
From dust to dust to dust to dust
Ohhh, the greed… the lust
To dust to dust to dust
Heaven or bust!
Just a hitchhiker on this mass
Don’t mean to be a smacked ass
But, when ya teach hypocrisy class
I just don’t know how long I’ll last
A passenger of the orbit
Really hoping to absorb it
If our days are numbered… spread wit

From dust to dust to dust to dust
Ohhh, the greed… the lust
To dust to dust to dust
Heaven or bust!
Amen

I really appreciate
Your appreciation
No matter the content
There’s lift in the gift
No matter the amount
It’s the thought that counts

There’s no hesitation
No hesitation
In your appreciation
Staggering amounts
In your thought that counts

LYRICS
One and done?
Too and two
Free from three
For for more
I’m hoping you can see
You can always count on me
To be what you want to be
As long as that’s happy

Invest completely
In your mortality
Only certainty
Is death… eventually

Are you seeing clearly
You can always count on me
Be it clear or gloomy
To be living happily

LYRICS
Is time slipping by
Slipping by
By the minute
Give a hint?
Is time slipping by
Slipping bye
Bye-bye
Ask me why
Is our hour
Almost over
To discover
Our hour
Turns to day, today
By the way, our hour
From our todays
Found ways
To slip away
To days today to years
So I ask why
Is time slipping by
Slipping bye-bye
I meant
Give a hint?

LYRICS
Doing this and doing that
It’s not clear
Where is there
Or if I’m here
Feeling overdue
So something simple will do
Are you feeling it, too?
Do you feel it? Do you?

Running here n’ running there
It’s not clear
Where is there
Or if I’m near

Feather ruffle caught up in the shuffle
It’s not clear
What is what
Or should I fear?

Get a grip n’ take a dip
It’s come clear
There is there
And I’m right here

bookmark_borderHow To Play

LYRICS
To refrain from going insane
It try to maintain play every day
When I was very young
I started to hum
Wasn’t too long ’til you could hum along
The period brief ’til I had teeth
This’ll be my time to whistle
Then look at me learn to tickle ivory
How about a bugle call to rally ya’ll
To come out and play a song
Or just sing along
And if by chance you can dance?
We might even foster romance
Faster foster, foster faster… enhance

The years went by and I didn’t die
So, I gave the guitar a try
Took me back to the days
When I was young
And learned how to hum
Though through the years there was grief
At least I still have my teeth
So, this’ll be the break to whistle
[whistle Andy In Mayberry Theme song]

LYRICS
If you look around
You just might find
It’s not that hard
To be kind
Open the window
Into your soul
Define humanity’s goal
Come on down
Look around
Shake the clown
Being found

If you look outside
Then above
It’s not that hard
To find love
Open the window
Into your soul
Define
Your earthly role
Come on down
Look around
Shake the clown
Being found

Done the look within
Now look out
It’s not that hard
To find out
Light escapes
The black hole
Come on down
Look around
Shake the clown
Being found

Look at me
Was blind now see
The way that things
Can be
The though in “we”
Eventually
Creates our destiny
Wills free
Freewill ’til
Eternity

LYRICS
If I knew now, what I knew then
When I knew now, if I knew then
I suppose I’m one of those
IN the here and now
So, somehow it’s not hard to see
Not for “we” when we’re bright
IN the light
Not hard to see wrong from right
When it’s in the light
Understanding when your standing
Not hard to see, really
When it’s in the light
If I knew now
Now from then
What I knew than when?
Not hard for me to see
Not hard for me to see we
When we see
In the light
Wrong from right
When it’s in the light
