LYRICS
Fool me one time
Fool me two times
Fool me three times and I’ll have to think twice

* I’m starting to think
That won’t happen tonight
(If that’s alright?)

Fool me one time
Fool me two times
Fool me three times and I’ll have to think twice
*
Fool me one time
Fool me twice
And I’m done throwing dice
*
Fool me one time
Then do it again
It’s time for foreboding to begin

… just a warning… the dog does bite

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — E variations
B7 G A E
Slide E up and down an octave

Based on a conversations about contrails. Clouds are clouds. They are made of H2O / water. That is it. When air passes through jet engines, it creates linear clouds. There are no added chemicals… for that is not possible.

Contrails circa 2001

LYRICS
I was scared
Unaware… unaware you were there
What a surprise to realize
The view is you

Startle
End-all
Guardian through and through

Sometimes I forget
Which way to spell it
God, dog… Dog, god?
Finding the meaning odd

LYRICS
Once the beast’s released
He’s hard to get leashed

He’ll run around the yard
A chicken… no head
Up the sleeve a card
Bitchin’… inbred?

The more you chase
The more evasive
‘tellin you
The more you pursue
The more about-face
Like water through sieve
Fair adieu

Once the beast’s released
He’s hard to get leashed

LYRICS
There’s a flag blowin’ in the wind
Do you know where it’s been?
The stars and stripes through the perilous night
Let’s get it right

Make sure it’s what it’s suppose to be
If you really ever want to be free

There’s a dog howlin’ at the moon
Feels the end is coming soon
Time to wake up and fight a better fight
Let’s get it right

Make sure it’s what it’s suppose to be
If you really ever want to be free

There’s a man with head in hands
Trying to grasp… no one understands
Time to make-up and light what is right
Out of sight

Make sure it’s what it’s suppose to be
If you really ever want to be free

LYRICS
So, ya want
A stairway to heaven
Be careful what you wish for

She’s selling the stairway to heaven

There’s a lady for sure
Thought all that glitters is gold
And, it’s getting rather old
Old and cold…
She’s selling the stairway to heaven

When she got there she found
If she would have looked around
She’s selling the stairway to heaven

When you get there you’ll know
When you get there what’s the show
When you get there with less to tow
When you get there… more friends… less foe

… selling the stairway to heaven

LYRICS
When you stare down destiny
Look in the eye of inevitability
When you bare down on insanity
Look in the I of humanity

Don’t you know… you’re just…
Howling at the moon
Barking up the wrong tree
No gloom will ever set you free

Past the intersection of hate and greed
There is a land of succeed
Where those that follow… lead
And, those that lead… swallow
Human, never again shall suppress
Those they consider less

Or you’re just…
Howling at the moon
Barking up the wrong tree
No gloom will ever set you free

When you stare down destiny
Look in the eye of inevitability
When you bare down on insanity
Look in the I of humanity
Beyond the doom
Beyond the gloom

LYRICS
Dog gone it. Dag nab it.
Confounded stranger can’t read “DANGER!”
“BEWARE OF DOG” less you meet your God
Beware of God less you’re dog meat
He’s a big dog… you’re more the size of a dog treat
If you come knockin’ better be answerin’ to “Who is it?”

Hark,
That dog’s bit is worse than his bark
And, that dog’s bark is fierce
Listen as the shock of sound waves pierce
