Suffering The Fools Pain.mp3

LYRICS

Hung like a picture on the wall
She grabbed me by the balls
Flung into a den of lions
In front of the hypocrites and liars
In the lair
In the glare
I fell to my knees
Beggin’ please, please, please

I’ve been framed
I’ve been blamed
But, I bare no shame
Smear my name
I’ve been framed
May never be the same
Suffering the fool’s pain

CHORDS — Dm
F C F C D Dm
G Dm

ABOUT THE SONG
Written and recorded at the Out In The Woods studios in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. At the begging of the track, you can hear Rick asking for the vocals to be sung with a country “squirrel s&#!” style.

LYRICS
What will be your mark
What will be your relevance
Bringing people from the dark
While you have a presence

Wearing a white hat
Into mortal combat
None of us are getting out alive

What will be your mark
What will be your relevance
Bringing people from the dark
While you have a presence

Baring the attack
There’s no need to fight back
Mirrors of God survive
Mirrors of God alive

LYRICS
What’s your take on the take?
What do you make
Of your perspective?

Going reflective….

What’s your attitude on attitude
When it comes to people who are rude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

’till our cup runneth over
’till our glass is full
’till there is no null… no, no null at all

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

Do you have longitude
Do you have latitude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
(Adjusted attitude)
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

LYRICS
Is the wind wailing on me at the speed of light?
Or, is it me traveling at that rate of speed?
If it’s me,
At what speed
Are the headlights traveling
In front of me?

Is the light twice as bright?
Will relativity be forced to concede?
Lord, that amount of light will have to help us see
Hear the blind humanity’s plea!

Hear the blind humanity’s plea, please?

LYRICS
How close are you?

It feels as though you’re in my skin
Washing away every sin
How close are you?

How close
How close
How close are you?

It feels as though you’re with me in everything I do
I really want to know, “How close are you?”

How close are you?

Is there anything you can do?

When I am alive
I think we jive
Our flesh is mesh
As we mesh flesh

LYRICS
I’ve seen some strange things around here
Under the atmosphere
When you’re down to earth
It’s quite odd
How humanity wants to rob humanity
Rob, rob, rob

… some strange things around here
Under here
Under the atmosphere
When you get down to Earth
And, a human birth
You might call it insanity
The way humanity
Just loves to bask in vanity
Yeah, I’ve seen some strange things around here
Under the atmosphere

Didn’t you, too?
Part of the human zoo
Or, are you a zookeeper
Of the moral Lepers?

I’ve seen some strange things around here
Under the atmosphere
When you’re down to earth

LYRICS
If you’re having trouble finding a trace
Of humane in the human race
What’s you really need’s an embrace

Come to me
I will come to you
Put our arms around each other…
Put our arms around each other
For at least a minute or two

If you wish war would disarm
You feel the environment sound the alarm
What’s you really need’s to inarm

Be bold told enfold
Please give me a squeeze

If you’re having trouble finding a trace
Of humane in the human race
What’s you really need’s an embrace

LYRICS
And, the water rushes in
Will it wash away your sin?
Over your toes towards your nose
I hope you can swim
And, the water rushes in

Of course,
You’re not going to change its course
The water ruses in
I can see it’s past your knee
You should have taken that opportunity to flee
The water rushes in
I hope you can swim
I hope you can pray
At least one more day
I pray, “I’ll obey!”

LYRICS
If you’re a little chicken
Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
Do you think the sky is falling to the ground
All around?
Well, it wasn’t a quiz… ’cause it is

Falling all around
It’s falling to the ground
A million square feet of glass
Does not pass through humans so swell
Oh, well?

If you’re a little chicken
Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
’cause you think the sky is falling
Well, you passed the quiz
’cause it is
It’s falling all around
To the ground

Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
A million square feet of glass
A thousand people it could not pass
Asteroid to meteoroid
Enter the atmosphere
Raking fear on anyone near
Oh, dear!

LYRICS
Out of into phase
Daze and amaze
It’s in how you phrase
The truth of the charade
Parade!

Dancing in the rays
Dancing in the raise
These are the day
For dancing in the raise
Dancing in the ray’s raise

You move around
Swing your hips
As if to praise
You raise in the rays
Out of body bound
Astound!

LYRICS

Where did the love go?

Though all the promises
Rings and roses
Where did the love go?
With all the missed kisses
We’re building bridges
Where did the love go?

Throughout all of time
Goodness shall outshine
Instead of me and mine
We’re in the hour of our
In the era of our
Era of our hour
Our era hour

Where did the love go? (Right here!)

Though all the promises
Rings and roses
Where did the love go? (It’s right here!)
With all the missed kisses
We’re building bridges
Where did the love go? (It’s right here!)

Where did the love go?
Right here.

LYRICS
Do you remember?

Climbing on my shoulders
Riding on my back
Kissing by the boulders
Sitting on my lap

Hiking on the hill
We made a bet for fun
But, before you could fulfill
Your life’s undone

Looking down from heaven
Do you remember?
Do you remember… living in days like these

With God’s grace given
I do remember.
I do remember… the memories please

Hiking on the hill
We made a bet for fun
But, before you could fulfill
Your life’s undone

Here we are holding hands
Who would ever understand?
That you could fulfill
That someday you will fulfill
That this day you can still fulfill

Janet Welch Love Song.mp3 (Demo Version)

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — G Em
G Am D G

Written in Chester County, Pennsylvania and captured as a digital, stereo, extemporaneous recording. Demo MP3 is 1 track. Video is 6-tracks.

This song was inspired by one of my first girlfriends, Janet Welch of Clearfield, Pennsylvania. I sat down to write a song about Valentine’s Day and just started playing about love. This is what came out.

We were in high school… passing notes and falling in love. We made what I considered a great bet. She lost the bet; however, before she could fulfill her end of the bargain, she died in a car crash. Does a spirit live on?
