Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In your mind
Do the math
It will work out fine
Find the path
In your mind
It will work out fine
But a fraction of your time
For satisfaction of your “mine”
It will all add up
(In the end it will all add up)

In your mind
Do the math
It will work out fine
Find the path
In your mind
It will work out fine
To equate a fair rate
Subtract out fate
We’ll never give up
(In the end it will all add up)

In your mind
Do the math
It will work out fine
Find the path
In your mind
It will work out fine
Indivisible
We retain able
Until our time is up
(In the end it will all add up)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The way they’re calling up their military
First to admit it’s getting scary
Recruiters in the jail
Offering free sail
Don’t read what you sign
Headed for the front line

The way they’re calling up the military
We all admit we’re getting weary
Far away foreign land
No need to understand
Sing on the dotted line
… headed for the front line

The way they’re calling up the military
Do we have to watch their Hari-kari
Once retired, now rehired
Nationalist conspire
No problem, I’ll sign
Send me to the front line

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Thought I’d seen it all
Except the fall
Don’t look now
No more left to see
Fulfilled destiny
Don’t look now
Don’t look now
But the devil’s in the detail
If you row
Odds are you’ll fail

Thought I’d seen it all
Except the fall
Don’t look now
No more left to see
Fulfilled destiny
Don’t look now
Don’t look now
But the devil’s in the detail
’bout your bow
Did it already sail?

Thought I’d seen it all
Except the fall
Don’t look now
No more left to see
Fulfilled destiny
Don’t look now
Don’t look now
But the devil’s in the detail
And somehow
Embedded in our tale

LYRICS
Why are you moaning
You didn’t even try
Guess I’ll be going
See ya later… bye-bye
… by the way
Better say
Enough to make a grown man cry
You’re enough to make a grown man cry

Look what you’re doing
Want us all to die
Guess we’ll all be going
See ya later… bye-bye
… by the way
Better say
Enough to make a grown man cry
You’re enough to make a grown man cry

What are you doing
Why not give it a try
Life’s still ensuing
If ya wanna get by
… by the way
Better say
Enough to make a grown man cry
You’re enough to make a grown man cry

bookmark_borderA Sixth Sense

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Have you ever been
Swimming in the ocean
In a pool
In a school
Somehow seeming to know
How to go with the flow
A sixth sense
Of the essence
In the present
Expecting how it will go
In the flow

Imagine riding on a dragonfly
I just saw two passing by
Thinking of their point-of-view
Flying high to kiss the sky
Can you imagine, too?
A sixth sense
Of the essence
In the present
Expecting how it will go
In the flow

Chords: Em7 Am7 Em7 / Dm Am7 Em7
Instrumentation: Vocals, Guitar, Keyboard (Kurzweil)
An improvisational song written and recorded to a digital 6-track at Lake Wynonah while watching fish and dragonflies.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Feels so good
Now that I see sky
See clear sky again
Now that I can
For so long
Wished I could
The song was foreign
And….
Feels so good
Now that I see sky

One thing’s for sure
Long as I can
I’ll be back for more
What ails, it’ll cure
Long as there’s Man
Blue skies like before

bookmark_borderBit of Your Soul

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The pain
The strain
The joy of love
No give
All take
Pain of heartbreak
A little bit of your soul
Put it in your rock-n-roll
All of it
Every bit
Time to walk the walk
Put all your stock
Into your rock
Let your soul roll

All pain
No gain
The strain of love
Forsake
the waste
Leaves a bad taste
A little bit of your soul
Put it in your rock-n-roll
All of it
Every bit
Time to walk the walk
Put all your stock
Into your rock
Let your soul roll

Oh, reign
The love
Rain from above
Rain down
The sound
Pour it around
A little bit of your soul
Put it in your rock-n-roll
All of it
Every bit
Time to walk the walk
Put all your stock
Into your rock
Let your soul roll

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Here we go
Turned off slow
As if we didn’t know?
Did you make it
As good as you could
Or the whole time
Was it misunderstood
A global crime
“Not my neighborhood”

Here at last
Turned to fast
Guess it’s hard to grasp?
Did you make it
As good as you could
Or the whole time
Was it misunderstood
A global crime
“Not my neighborhood”

Hear me now
Learned some how
How to tune on wow
Did you make it
As good as you could
Or the whole time
Was it misunderstood
A global crime
“Not my neighborhood”
Yeah… it’s not my neighborhood
What do I care
Don’t want to share my share
No good… I’m no good

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What do we know
Long way to go
Quantum physics
And arithmetic
Playing music
Toys in the attic
So much more
To explore
Then before

What do we know
Long way to go
Our logistics
And momentum
Deep statistics
… and then some sum
So much more
To explore
Then before

What do we know
Long way to go
Astrophysics
And calculus
Making music
For all of us
So much more
To explore

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Aren’t you a long way from home
Do you have a long way to go?
“Tales” a-drag, mouth’s starting to foam
Did the rabid? Hard to know
Stray gone astray
It’s hard to say
… anyway… today?

Hey, aren’t you a little lost
Do you know how to find your way?
Tails lag
Haste the cost
Sails sag
Waste, decay
Stray gone astray
It’s hard to say
… anyway… today?

Aren’t you straying way off course
Do you feel out of place?
Tales of dead
How to get worse
Kids, we’re lost in space
Stray gone astray
It’s hard to say
… anyway… today?

LYRICS
I’d love to see
A certainty
For humanity
Jump off the bandwagon
To begin again
Jumping off to jump up
Of that fluff, had enough
In the rough

I’d love to be
An abnormality
Jump off the bandwagon
To begin again
Jumping off to jump up
Of that fluff, had enough
In the rough

Will you join me
In nonconformity
Jump off the bandwagon
To begin again
Jumping off to jump up
Of that fluff, had enough
In the rough

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A change in the weather
It’s going to get better
Could it get any worse
Without invoking a hearse?
Can we get the sun to shine
So fine

A change in the weather
It’s going to get better
Could it get any worse
Without it being a curse
Without a flood to rout
The drought

A change in the weather
It’s going to get better
Couldn’t get any worse
The End. Chapter and verse
Can we get the winds to blow
To know

Are you finding it hard to swallow
Are you choking on hook and sinker

CHORUS
Don’t wallow
Let’s tinker

You paint within
Who dictates the fines
For your livin’?

2. Are you finding your hearts grown hollow
Do your musings breakdown and sink her?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can’t blame it all on those that came before
Just a generation… maybe one more
Perhaps the next one will save us
If we don’t put up a fuss
If we don’t put up a fight
Do what’s right
Shine the light

Can’t blame it all on those that came before
Just a generation… maybe one more
Perhaps the children will save you
Your heart will tell you true
When meek overthrows might
Do what’s right
Shine the light

Can’t blame it all on those that came before
Just a generation… maybe one more
Perhaps There’s youth still in you
A song and dance point-of-view
Feeling your brings on delight
All is right
Shine the light
