Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Forgiven for bubbling chagrin
For livin’, but can’t stop laughin’
Please don’t damn me, call it a sin
I’m not trying to be the class clown
The resident president of the class
I’m just sitting here trying to do the throw down
For a good time that lasts
(All time that pasts)

Forgiven for humbling pride
Take me, but not for a ride
Please don’t ask me to let it ride
I’m not trying to be the class clown
The resident president of the class
I’m just sitting here trying to do the throw down
For a good time that lasts
(All time that pasts)

I’ve risen, got off of the floor
I’m ready, I’m ready for more
Please come with me, so we can see
We’re not trying to be the class clowns
The resident presidents of the town
We’re just sitting here doing a throw down
Watching the future go past
Creating a lifetime that lasts

LYRICS
Worth the keep
Dig in deep

Found deep in the mind
All have roots to kind
At the core of all
Call it natural

Found deep down inside
Kindness does reside
At the core of all
It is beautiful

Found way deep within
Spark kindness… begin
At the core of all
It is wonderful

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I came upon a ramblin’ weed
Yes, indeed
She said, “I wish you would concede.”
Yes, indeed
Feed our flower

My ignorance begot regret
Better bet
Had to transfer my mindset
Better yet
Feed our flower
Our hour to shower
The power…
… of love

Best to call you by name I suppose?
On the nose
Are you Violet or are you Rose?
One of those?
Feed our flower
Our hour to shower
The power…
… of love

LYRICS
Things aren’t as bad as they may seem
Wake up!
Live the dream
Come see what I mean
Intensity hyper-sureen
Live the dream
Do you find the appeal
To it being real?

Wake up!
Live the dream
Be one with the beam
Lighting up the scene
(Enlighten the scene)
Live the dream
A lifetime deal
Some call it a steal
(It’s a steal)

Wake up!
Live the dream
Out-of-the-box careen
Literally mean means mean
Live the dream
Ability to feel
Be for real
(Feel real)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If glaciers keep melting
At an accelerating rate
What will be the fate
Of the human race —
… ing toward the floor
Punishing forward
More! More!
More more

More more
Just as soon as we can
Endure
to overcome Man
Flushing down the drain
Rational that’s sane

Mine for what is mine
Dig mine, mine, mine
Going from rich to poor
Till there is no more
Now completely broke
All goes up in smoke

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What else is in store
Am dying for more
What could it be
Can’t wait to see
All blood and gore
Or a different door
Will sanity reign free?

Will tomorrow bring
Something interesting
Not easy to bore
Searching for more
Into philosophy
and society
Will sanity reign free?

Depending on you
To pull us through
Be the hero
To go net-zero
’cause we’re past the state
Of a climate debate
Will sanity to rain free!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Spring, sprang, sprung
Spring’s come undone
In yet another bummer
Forget about the summer
Just around the bend
Drawing to it’s end

Spring, sprang, sprung
Better make amends
For the Fall
The time of all times
Is going down, down, down
Just around the bend
Drawing to it’s end

Spring, sprang, sprung
Another year older
Another grade higher
As seasons get colder
Watching time transpire
Just around the bend
Drawing to it’s end

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
I get that urge I’ve got to satisfy
Can’t satisfy no matter how I try
Am I choosing to die…
… and taking you, too?

Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
I guess you’d call it urge overkill
Immaturity in the skill
To discipline within
… and with you, too
Weeeeee

Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
That dark cloud that always looms
Consume, consume, consume
It’s clear for me to see
… me and you, too — we
Weeeeee

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Taking baby steps
OK, maybe when you were young
Now you’re in your depths
The fat lady’s already sung
All you options run
The future’s come undone
We arrived long ago
Or didn’t you know
Yes, been there
Unaware?

Taking giant steps
Got to make up for lost time
Past time to have leapt
From taking part in the climate crime
All you options run
The future’s come undone
We arrived long ago
Or didn’t you know
Yes, been there
Unaware?

Being in her shoes
Seem there’s quite a lot to lose?
Time has come to choose
The “should haves” or the do’s?
All you options run
The future’s come undone
We arrived long ago
Or didn’t you know
Yes, been there
Unaware?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
My momma has a first name
She took my daddy’s last
They brought me in to the big game
With a net to cast
Let’s see what I can catch
Maybe a dream or two
And an idea ready to hatch
Pull them into view

My momma has a first name
She took my daddy’s last
Life will never be the same
Having given me the grasp
Let’s see what I can catch
Maybe a dream or two
And an idea ready to hatch
Pull them into view

My daddy has a first name
My momma took his last
Don’t want to give it more fame
Just add what life goes past
Let’s see what I can catch
Maybe a dream or two
And an idea ready to hatch
Pull them into view

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s coming right at us
I can see it coming
Too late to cry
Too late to fuss
Better off running
Look to the sky
Even the birds can’t fly
… can’t find their way home
What once was dry
Kiss it good-bye
Bye-bye
… be gone in the foam
(Can’t find my way home)

The eye of the storm
Looking us in the I’s
Today’s new norm
In yesterday lies
Look to the sky
Even the birds can’t fly
… can’t find their way home
What once was dry
Kiss it good-bye
Bye-bye
… be gone in the foam
(Can’t find my way home)

I said it was coming
Now that it’s here
Thunder and lightning
Clear it gets frightening
Look to the sky
Even the birds can’t fly
… can’t find their way home
What once was dry
Kiss it good-bye
Bye-bye
… be gone in the foam
(Can’t find my way home)

LYRICS
Going out on a limb
Going to stretch who I am
Might need to catch
Where I’ve been
Going out on a limb
Will you catch me if I fall
Knowing out on a limb
The creek will be the call

Going way, way out
Going to fetch who I am
Might learn about
Where I’ve been
Going out on a limb
Will you catch me if I fall
Knowing out on a limb
The creek will be the call
