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

Through the valley
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

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

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

Oh no
We did mess up

Brain’s are lame
And the shame’s

Now that we know
On purpose
Let’s reverse
And start to show

Let US start

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?

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

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

Undo the harm of our alarm

Inclined to turn the day

Unpave the way
Lessen the stay

Inclined to turn the day

Want a little less
Try to do best
And turn the day

bookmark_borderDown Home Kentucky Recipe

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)

Does anybody care
There’s nothing under there
There’s nothing under there… under where?
Fail to see
Your policy
Frailty
Our tendency

Does anybody care
There’s nothing under there
There’s nothing under there… under where?
Fail to see

Please bail me

Does anybody care
There’s nothing under there

Nailed, indeed
Your fallacy
Try to impede

Posted on by admin

A song about looking into a swimming pool and looking into a soul

LYRICS
Parts you can see right through
Others bounce back at you
Reflecting on reflections
Of the surface
Reflecting on selections
Of my service

Pars can pass right through
Others do come back to you
Parts there’s nothing to see
Others to see is to be
Reflecting on reflections
Of the surface
Reflecting on selections
Of my service

To have and to hold
Or let life unfold
To tie a tight knot/not
Or give all you’ve got
Curl up in a ball
Or stand up real tall
Not to try at all
Or get up when you fall?

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
