Posted on by admin

LYRICS
No, you can’t get blood from a stone
Won’t answer if nobody’s home
Huff and puff but you can’t get in
So please come again
A one pony trick
Needs a new tactic
To capture imagination
Want my two cents?
Create the circumstance
To capture imagination

No, you can’t turn water into wine
Believe me… I try it all the time
Fight windmills and you’ll never win
So please come again
A one pony trick
Needs a new tactic
To capture imagination
Want my two cents?
Create the circumstance
To capture imagination

No, you can’t try to raise the dead
Their says already been said
There’s no sense in cryin’
So please come again
A one pony trick
Needs a new tactic
To capture imagination
Want my two cents?
Create the circumstance
To capture imagination

LYRICS
Inclined to turn the day
A better way
Rewind the burn from ever yearn
And turn the day
A better way

Inclined to turn the day
A better way
Undo the harm of our alarm
And turn the day
A better way

Inclined to turn the day
A better way
Unpave the way
Lessen the stay
And turn the day
A better way

Inclined to turn the day
A better way
Want a little less
Try to do best
And turn the day
A better way

Posted on by admin

A song about:
Kentucky flooding is followed by heat wave
The rain that unleashed massive floods in Appalachian mountain communities was diminishing on Tuesday, leaving survivors to face a new threat: baking in the heat as they try to recover.

“It’s going to get really, really hot. And that is now our new weather challenge,” Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said at his Tuesday morning briefing on the disaster.

The death toll stood at 37 on Tuesday after more bodies were found Monday in the ruined landscape, and while more than 1,300 people have been rescued, crews were still trying to reach some people who remain cut off by floods or mudslides, he said. Hundreds remained unaccounted for.

LYRICS
Did you see Kentucky
All that flood…
Then mud
Now, they’ve raised the stakes
Ready to bake
(Shake and bake)
Baking up mud cakes
With the taste of neighbors’ blood
Yet failing to see
It’s our recipe
Laid to waste our neighborhood
Wish to God we’d understood
Stand
(For the land)

Did you see out West
No doubt in a drought
And raising the stakes higher
With some wild fire
Don’t you think it’s best
That we all found out
Can’t rest if you tire
Situation’s dire
Laid to waste our neighborhood
Wish to God we’d understood
Stand
(For the land)

LYRICS
Early in the morning
At the crack of day
Ole rooster was crowing
What he have to say?
Cock, a doddle or a do
What say you?
Cock, a doddle… a do?
A do to be
To be I am
Therefore
I shall listen
Evermore
Crow, rooster, crow
Let the people know
Crow, rooster, crow
Time to wake-up!
Let ’em know

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sound can’t travel through space
There’s no sound found
In a vacuum not a trace
No sound around
Come on down
To Earth
You can hear down here
For what it’s worth

Out in space it’s hard to dance
When no sound can be found
A “hard to dance” circumstance
Without sound
Come on down
To Earth
You can hear down here
For what it’s worth

Does life without music
Make you sick
The confines of space have bound
There’s a solution… a quick trick
Sound is found
Come on down
To Earth
You can hear down here
For what it’s worth

bookmark_borderTimes Wander

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You ever wonder
Where times wander
Where did the time go?
I’m falling behind
To the land of lost time
Does anyone know
Where does the time go?
I’m looking ahead
No! I’m not dead
I for one know
There’s still time to go

You ever ponder
How time’s squandered
Can’t get time to slow
I’m falling behind
To the land of lost time
Does anyone know
Where does the time go?
I’m looking ahead
No! I’m not dead
I for one know
There’s still time to go

You ever wander
Way off yonder
Beyond where the times flow
I’m falling behind
To the land of lost time
Does anyone know
Where does the time go?
I’m looking ahead
No! I’m not dead
I for one know
There’s still time to go

Posted on by admin

I don’t want you to say
Go away
The facts are here to stay
Anyway
What lacks is easy to see
The coherency

I don’t want you to waste
Precious time
In the void of taste
Waste’s a crime
What lacks is easy to see
The coherency

I don’t want you to hate
Living life
Let’s participate
Without strife
What lacks is easy to see
The coherency

I don’t want you to say
Go away
The facts are here to stay
Anyway

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I hope to carry on
… and on and on
Grab the rope and tow the line
’til we reach The End of time
Point-of-view from me, my, mine
To all is well when all is fine
The only thing for Man to fear
Is Man himself
while the only thing a man holds dear
Is his self-wealth

We cope and carry on
… and on and on
Grab the rope and tow the line
’til we reach The End of time
Point-of-view from me, my, mine
To all is well when all is fine
The only thing for Man to fear
Is Man himself
while the only thing a man holds dear
Is his self-wealth

The scope to carry on
… and on and on
No “nope” to carry on
… and on and on
Grab the rope and tow the line
’til we reach The End of time
Point-of-view from me, my, mine
To all is well when all is fine
The only thing for Man to fear
Is Man himself
while the only thing a man holds dear
Is his self-wealth

LYRICS
Got the tail wag
And the smile tag
Lovin’ livin’ all day
The scent of air
Everywhere
Livin’ lovin’ today
Pick up your guitar and play
It isn’t that far away
[Bb guitar jam]

Wade in the shade
Of the life we’ve made
Lovin’ livin’ all day
A sign in the sky
Watch raptors fly by
Livin’ lovin’ today
Pick up your guitar and play
It isn’t that far away

With head held high
All knots untie
Lovin’ livin’ all day
We’ve come to know
We’re good to go
Livin’ lovin’ today
Pick up your guitar and play
It isn’t that far away

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you ready to quit
Are you over it
Don’t you find it a bit
Obsolete
Or without it
Life’s incomplete
Totally addicted
To mass consumption
Complicated
And then sum/some
I’ve got the mass consumption blues
I’ve got the mass consumption blues
Don’t tell me my dues are due
The mass consumption blues
Totally addicted
Morally inflicted
Damnation
And then some/sum
Hang tough
More stuff!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can you see us lying
… lying on a golden bed
The tears we’re crying
Over joys left unsaid
Over the moon
There’s a shining star
Piper resumes
The tune to take us far

Is there use trying
To resurrect the dead
Night be for crying
If we prevent instead
Over the moon
There’s a shining star
Piper resumes
The tune to take us far

In line of sight
Sight of the light at The End
With all our might
Fight to let our message send
Over the moon
There’s a shining star
Piper resumes
The tune to take us far

LYRICS
No matter how bright it was lit
Insisted on staring right into it
Now I can’t see a thing
Except one bright light
I look to the left of me
I look to the right
All I can see
Is one bright light

Starring the sun right in the eyes
Shouldn’t have come as a big surprise
Now I can’t see a thing
Except one bright light
I look to the left of me
I look to the right
All I can see
Is one bright light

Set my sight for the heart of the sun
Somehow my vision’s come undone
Now I can’t see a thing
Except one bright light
I look to the left of me
I look to the right
All I can see
Is one bright

Don’t let the get up let up
Can’t let the get up let up
Won’t let the get up let up
Till the get up gets up and goes
Regardless of the throws of the prose
Won’t let up on your get up
Till it goes
If it makes ’em dance
Doing Dos Y Dos
Do they hear the prose?
Ahhh who knows?
That’s why I…
Why I get up

LYRICS
Was it this hot before?
’cause I don’t think I can take any more
Notice we’re on fire?
There’s no denying
Situation’s dire
(We’re on fire!
We’re on fire!)

Remember ole Al Gore?
Should’ve listened to him a little bit more
Call out a denier liar
’cause no denying
Situation’s dire
(We’re on fire!
Denier liar!)

Wonder what’s in store
If all the more we just ignore
Raise alerts higher
I ain’t denying

We’re on fire!
Alerts higher!)
