bookmark_borderUpdraft

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Particle derived raindrops arise
The mass amassed depends on size
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

Evaporate
At an ever increasing rate
Participate
A pounding precipitate
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

What goes up must come down
Bob and weave… avoid the crown
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

The moral of the story
Don’t belittle
The vision and the glory
Of Chicken Little
Caught in the updraft
Cycle round
Before coming down
In a wrath

bookmark_borderA Bit of a Shock

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s a bit of a shock
You might say alarming
It’s a bit of a shock
You might say disarming
Are you telling me
Things can’t be
The way things
Have always been
Wait! Tell me again

2. It’s a bit of a shock
Though trite, insight
It’s a bit of a shock
Why mock what’s right?

3. How much time’s on the clock
It’s a bit of a shock
A hard place and a rock
It’s a bit of a shock

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Looky there
A blank stare
So unaware
Looky there
After all
A wake-up call
Might get me on the ball
After all
Can’t walk, I’ll crawl
Catch me as I fall

2. Looky there
I do declare
How do I fare?
Looky there

3. Looky there
Curse and swear
Too much to bear
Looky there

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you mind if I hang on
To your shirt tails
By the tips of my fingernails
’cause we’re flying by the seat of my/your/our pants

Do you mind if I hang on
Hand in hand
I’ve come to understand
We’re flying by the seat of my/your/our pants

Don’t mind if you tag along
Please hang on
By any means but mean
(If you know what I mean?)
’cause we’re flying by the seat of my/your/our pants

bookmark_borderThe Momentum of Rain

Posted on by admin

As rain becomes more massive, it will have greater momentum when it hits. It will cause more damage to crops, plants, soil, asphalt, concrete, roofs, solar panels… and I bet if you use your “head” you can think of other impacts.

LYRICS
A hard rain is falling
The mass x velocity
Is starting to kill me
Driving right through me
More momentum
Sore cranium

A hard rain is falling
Frequency n’ intensity
Is starting to kill me
Driving right through me
More momentum
Sore cranium

Storm warning is calling
Rain drops with severity
… it’s starting to kill me
Driving right through me
More momentum
Sore cranium

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Put my ear to the shell
’cause I don’t hear/here so well
Put my ear to the shell
To hear/here the swell
(To hear/hear swell)
The ocean
Comes rushin’ in
The potion
Of gushing love
Love of….
The Geo system
Gave rise to human
Eons
To learn our lesson
Lackluster logic
None in possession

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Fire another
Shot into the dark
Ire of brother
Lost him to the dark
Of your mistake
What will you make
Cause of error
Reign of terror
Time for change
Rearrange

King of jungles
Falling from his throne
Cries and mumbles
Balling all alone
Of your mistake
What will you make
Cause of error
Reign of terror
Time for change
Rearrange

Tire of bother
Shoot into the dark
Fires to smother
Living in the dark
Of your mistake
What will you make
Cause of error
Reign of terror
Time for change
Rearrange

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What’s the big deal
It’s for real
It’s been a good run
Sure was fun
Been a good ride
Hope to see you on the flipside

Please don’t cry
I hate goodbye
Till we meet again
I’m hopin’
Been a good ride
Hope to see you on the flipside

How about “one more song”
I swear it won’t take long
Been a good ride
Hope to see you on the flipside

LYRICS
What do you say
Could you spray
Right this way
You know…
Some H2O

See that tree
Next to me
Can’t you see…?
You know
Some H2O

Poor puppy
So thirsty
Panting plea…
You know
Some H2O

Philosophy:
Me, me, ne

You know…
Low H2O
Where’d it go?
Fatal blow
Toe to toe
Fell below
Well below
Wells below

LYRICS
How far away
Would you say
Till today
Is doomsday?
Hope there’s enough time
To feel fancy free and fine
Please let there be time
For frivolity in rhyme

How many days would you say
Do we have to change our way
Hope there’s enough time
To feel fancy free and fine
Please let there be time
For frivolity in rhyme

If today is our last day
Make the best in every way
Hope there’s enough time
To feel fancy free and fine
Please let there be time
For frivolity in rhyme

A smile can get you pretty far
No matter who you are
If you get the chance
To make ’em dance
Play all the day

To the sea/see

LYRICS
Can’t wait to get up
In the morning
To see what the day
Will bring my way
To see the early bird
Catching the worm
Is the lesson well learned?

So, lets get going
Let’s get moving
Let’s bring to the day
Dance and play
Let’s sing along the way
Making the best
Attest
To what’s left

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Racing through my head
What’s been left unsaid
Lack of clarity
Determines destiny
The demon in men
Destroying our sanctity
Defiling Mother Nature’s sanctuary
Prepare for the climb
Counting out time

Tracing through my thoughts
The oughts and ought nots
Lack of compassion
Undermines elation
The demon in men
Destroying our sanctity
Defiling Mother Nature’s sanctuary
Prepare for the climb
Counting out time

Bracing for what’s to come
From all we’ve undone
Become a rarity
Yours and mine’s humanity
The demon in men
Destroying our sanctity
Defiling Mother Nature’s sanctuary
Prepare for the climb
Counting out time

LYRICS
Uh oh
Did we mess up
On purpose
Certainly
Lost focus
On us

Oh no
We did mess up
On purpose
Brain’s are lame
And the shame’s
On us

So, woah
Now that we know
On purpose
Let’s reverse
And start to show
Heart
Let US start

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A flower or a bird
Do you see faces
In awkward places?
A lyric or a word
Do you hear places
In awkward spaces
Do you, too?

Is it right
Is it wrong
Do you think basis
In awkward places
A rhythm or a song
Do you hear basses
In awkward places
Do you, too?
