Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Half-past seven in the evening
Glimpse of heaven is revealing
Under the rising moon
Into reprising tune

Half-past eight time won’t wait
(Reprieving, reprieving)
Nine and ten then getting late
(Reprieving, reprieving)
Under the shining moon
Continue reprising tune

Half-past eleven deep in the night
Glimpse of heaven… I see the light
Under mesmerizing moon
The antithesis of noon

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Come to understand
If I only had a plan
Hope to check it off my bucket list
At least that’s my wish
(Before I kick the bucket…
List)
Come to understand
If I only had a plan
Got a plan, check?
Not yet
Probably should?
You bet
I could
I would
Regret
Come to understand
If I only had a plan
Hope to check it off my bucket list
At least that’s my wish
(Before I kick the bucket…
List)
Got a plan
Plan for I’m
And plan for Man
Hope to check it off my bucket list
At least that’s my wish
(Before I kick the bucket…
List)
Come to understand
If I only had a plan
I’d be in command
Man, if I only had a plan
Hope to check it off my bucket list
At least that’s my wish
(Before I kick the bucket…
List)

LYRICS
Hearts beat as one
When all’s said and done
Will all hearts be won
In the bed sleeping
Goldy Locks lay her head
In her housekeeping
She mad it they said
Made our bed
Now were sleeping in
Fled our head
The need for consuming
In haste to make waste
For hedging, no taste
Insist on worse case

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Climb the mountain to the valley
When uncertain spirits rally
Then, no doubt, angels shout
Before it was it is what it does
Can can, do does
Then, no doubt, angels shout
Before it was it is what it does
Past was present
Sure as future

In the desert find oasis
For life’s dessert is the “is”
Climb the mountain to the valley
When uncertain spirits rally
Then, no doubt, angels shout
Before it was it is what it does
Can can, do does
Then, no doubt, angels shout
Before it was it is what it does
Past was present
Sure as future

Through high water learn to swim
Show what matters is who I am
In the desert find oasis
For life’s dessert is the “is”
Climb the mountain to the valley
When uncertain spirits rally
Then, no doubt, angels shout
Before it was it is what it does
Can can, do does
Then, no doubt, angels shout
Before it was it is what it does
Past was present
Sure as future

LYRICS
The belly of the beast
To be the guest or the feast?
Feasting on our own tail
Ceasing… ship set sail
The belly of the beast
To be the guest or the feast?
Casting caution to the wind
Lasting notion… could have been
The belly of the beast
To be the guest or the feast?
Last man standing
Understanding
From Bethlehem
To the new Jerusalem

LYRICS
Some kind of weather
Phenomena
The sky turned green
An extreme scene
It’s not a matter of the whether
Reigning hail the scale of obscene
Some kind of weather
Phenomena na na na na
Some kind of weather
Phenomenon on on um um numb
Expressway turned into a river
It’s not a matter of the whether
The wrong way ruined the “live”-er
All said, “why the bother?”
Some kind of weather
Phenomena na na na na
Some kind of weather
Phenomenon on on um um numb
Wind’s sheer blew clear all dear
It’s not a matter of the whether
More like “here hold my beer”
Now, stand clear
Some kind of weather
Phenomena na na na na
Some kind of weather
Phenomenon on on um um numb

LYRICS
I’m hearing things
Once I start listening
I’m hearing things
Voices say let the music play
Each and every day
Prolong along the way
Living in song you can’t go wrong
Loving to love
Living in song the passion’s strong
Voices above
I’m hearing things
Once I start listening
I’m hearing things
Voices say make of the day
Song in every way
So long as all can play
Living in song you can’t go wrong
Loving to love
Living in song the passion’s strong
Voices above
I’m hearing things
Once I start listening
I’m hearing things
Voices say bring the knew day
Turn blue skies of grey
Shine light upon the way
Living in song you can’t go wrong
Loving to love
Living in song the passion’s strong
Voices above

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m wishing for a wishing well
So, I could make a wish
Go so far as a shooting star
Even if I look foolish
To know a miracle
Perfect as a circle
An endless start
Around the heart

I’m wishing for a wishing well
So, I could make a wish
Go so far as a shooting star
Even if I look foolish
Because a miracle
Would be so special
The End of a heart
Is where it will start

I’m wishing for a wishing well
So, I could make a wish
Go so far as a shooting star
Even if I look foolish
Let’s grow a miracle
In a circle
Found what goes around
Comes around

LYRICS
Downbeat
Fill it in and the melody’s complete
Upbeat
Be the major key
All you see’s complete
With minor exceptions
Days of redemption
Song is the remedy
Soothes souls’ malady
If the chance
Known to dance…
If the chance

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Which way’s facing up
Upside’s facing down
Look around
Half-empty is your cup
Half-full is going down
Look up
Look down
Look around

Which way is facing East
Opposite of West?
Who knows best
Mixed up to say the least
What do I suggest
Do your best
Look up
Look down
Look around

Which way is facing South
Rear-view of the North
Please come forth
Nose above my mouth
Knows for what it’s worth
Do come forth
Look up
Look down
Look around

LYRICS
Out of the frying
Into the fire
See the sky crying
Humans retire
Just try living with man if you can
Same mistakes over n’ over again
All tore up over war
Gorged on gore
Please no more

Out of hot water
Into the fire
Both son and daughter
In for the dire
Just try living with man if you can
Same mistakes over n’ over again
All tore up over war
Gorged on gore
Please no more

Out of the jail
Into the noose
Coffin’s last nail
Cutting me loose
Just try living with man if you can
Same mistakes over n’ over again
All tore up over war
Gorged on gore
Please no more

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m starting to think so
Where did the time go
Slips through my grasp
As it flies past
Passed by I sign and gasp
Did it use to go so slow
I’m starting to think so
Enjoy a bit as it goes by
Won’t ever quit
Born to try n’ try
My, oh, my
Wouldn’t ever be a me or my
Without some
Wouldn’t ever be a do or die
No outcome
Passed by I sign and gasp
Did it use to go so slow
I’m starting to think so
Enjoy a bit as it goes by
Won’t ever quit
Born to try n’ try
My, oh, my
Isn’t the time going by fast
I’m starting to think so
Was hoping to make it last and last
Passed by I sign and gasp
Did it use to go so slow
I’m starting to think so
Enjoy a bit as it goes by
Won’t ever quit
Born to try n’ try
My, oh, my

You say that’s how it goes
The sweeper and the hose
As a matter of fact
Cleaning up my act

There’s no going back

You say this really blows
The fault of us fellows
As a matter of fact
Cleaning up my act

There’s no going back

So how’s my garden grow
I thought you ought to know
As a matter of fact
Cleaning up my act
As a matter of fact
There’s no going back

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
At the start of it all
As I recall
You said it didn’t matter
Watching the situation
Growing fatter
Look far and wide
Nowhere to hide
The problem’s where we reside
Our hubris twists
Pounding of fists
The problem’s deep down inside

The middle of it all
As I recall
You said “it doesn’t matter”
Watching the situation
Growing fatter
Look far and wide
Nowhere to hide
The problem’s where we reside
Our hubris twists
Pounding of fists
The problem’s deep down inside

The end of The End
As I recall
“Does the fall really matter”
Watching the situation
Growing fatter
Look far and wide
Nowhere to hide
The problem’s where we reside
Our hubris twists
Pounding of fists
The problem’s deep down inside

LYRICS
Have you ever heard lightning strike
Have you ever seen thunder struck
With a do as you like attitude
Stuck in the muck latitude
Say goodnight
Out the light

Square peg in the round hole
Swear difficulty’s the goal
With a do as you like attitude
Stuck in the muck latitude
Say goodnight
Out the light

Going in through the out door
Pounding down always wanting more
With a do as you like attitude
Stuck in the muck latitude
Say goodnight
Out the light
