LYRICS
Earth’s our ride
Please conceive
Turn the tide
Help relieve

Is your heart on your inside
Or do you wear it on your sleeve
Your love… do you try to hide
Or live what you believe

Time you bide
Can’t retrieve
We reside
Then, we leave
(Chorus)

Poke and chide
Can’t we leave?
Un-divide
Our pet peeve
(chorus)

You know
Be your own hero
Example of “go”

LYRICS
Give me a minute
I know I’ll get it
I can see it’s coming to me
Hold it a moment
I couldn’t forget it
See… it’s coming to me
Something catchy
Wasn’t trendy
Any memory
Where could you be

Memory’s wrung
Tip of my tongue
Surely, it’ll come to me
I try to spy
With my 3rd eye
Now, it’s coming to me
Something catchy
Wasn’t trendy
Any memory
Where could you be

LYRICS
My place or yours?
It’s ours
Of course
Imagine that
Shared habitat
You mean we are on the same team?
Imagine that
Shared habitat

Your place or mine
Draw the line
All the time
They combine
You mean we are on the same team?
All the time
They combine

Call it home
You’re not alone
Since my birth
It’s been Earth
You mean we are on the same team?
Since my birth
It’s been Earth

You mean we are on the same team?
Being one of the human beings
We mean
Human team
Same team

LYRICS
While I ride off into the sunset
Hope I never forget
There really is a difference
Absence / presence
Essence

As the skyline of the horizon
Paints a fine line… night into dawn

Is it really clear
Are you here?
Will the mass of your matter
Really matter
Flatter
Flatter your dimension
Into 2-D
Flatter your intention
Oh so Godly
Heavenly

LYRICS
The nice thing about tomorrow
You can leave behind your sorrow
Lighten up your load
Leave your blues in yesterday
Redirect… forge a new way
Head out on the road

The best thing about tomorrow
You can create what you follow
Imagine the dream
Realize the scene

The bittersweet thing we call today
A memory that will fade away
Into yesterday
So, leave your blues in yesterday
Design the place you’d like to stay
Feelin’ O.K.

To today then to tomorrow
No need to beg or borrow
You’ve lightened my load
Left the blues in yesterday
Saw the light! Forged a new way
Now, we’re on the road

LYRICS
Lift! Lift! Get out of the myth
No more allure
From your gold, frankincense and myrrh

Delight in the light
I am
The Golden Age and platinum
The fate of fatal heavy metal (meddle)
The fate of a fatal fall for all
Get out of the allure
You’re….
Headed into the light
Stars collide
Ride
The gravitational wave
Conserve
Save
Energy for me

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about neutron stars colliding and creating gold, platinum and gravitational waves.

“It’s so beautiful. It’s so beautiful it makes me want to cry. It’s the fulfillment of dozens, hundreds, thousands of people’s efforts, but it’s also the fulfillment of an idea suddenly becoming real,” said Peter Saulson of Syracuse University.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Though bizarre by far
You can’t make this stuff up
When you see
The extent of the irony
You’ll say,
No way?!?!?!
That’s too funny

When you take the fun out of humor
Well, it’s just not that funny any more
When you take the laugh out of laughter
… can’t take the joke any further/farther

I learned soon…
Like a lead balloon
But of course…
I had to beat a dead horse

In need of more humor

Truth stranger than fiction
Reality contradiction
When you see the extent of hypocrisy
You’ll say,
No way?!?!?!
That’s too funny

LYRICS
A strange thing happened to me on the way to Earth…
Birth

Percolator
Escalator
Envelope pushing instigator
Elope on the continuum ’til later?
Yes, I am
Continue continuum ’til later
I’m a space-time navigator
Percolator escalator
Peculiar escalating
Elevating peculiar
Evolving escalation
’til peculiarity is no rarity
In fact, profanity in normality

A strange thing happened to me on the way to Earth…
Birth

LYRICS
Wonder what’s in the rabbit hole?
Should I be the mole?
Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
Is the goal to find my toll

Pass through the looking glass
Slide to the other side
Here’s not always what it appears
We’re in for a ride

Wonder what is in the rabbit whole?
Do you think the kitchen sink
Wonder what is in the rabbit whole?
Is it in the water that we drink

Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
Wonder if it’s wonderful
Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
The mirror of my soul?

LYRICS
The sooner we start
The further apart
The warmer our heart
Let’s depart

The sooner we start
The further apart
Out of the dark
Let’s embark
(Out of the dark)

Let’s begin climbin’
See how high we can go
I have a hunch
When we reach the next branch
We can see
Glory
(See the light. All alright.)

Join me
Climb a tree
Let’s see
What’s to see

From above
Scout out love
Send the signal
For all

LYRICS
Pulling on through
Thank you
I saw me trying desperately
To get through
Thank you

Before I was a baby
I saw me
Trying to push through
Had to do
What I had to do
What was I going to do?
Thank you
For pulling me through

When I was ghostly sick
By God! Got me over it quick
You pulled me through
Thank you
When I was ill, you gave the pill
To cure for sure
Thank you
For pulling me through

Love the way you pull me through
Light of day… you pull me through

LYRICS
I think the brain
Might have missed the last train
… insane caught the train

Did only the insane
Get on the train?
Throw the rest of us
Under the bus
Why the fuss?
There’s plenty of room
Under the bus

What the heck
Is this a train wreck?
Still not that sane
To take the plain/plane

Not “whatever floats your boat”

LYRICS
For those that are left
We wish you the best
As for the rest
Too late for fate

For those that endure
We’ll love you some more
As for the dead
What can be said?

They say the world turns ’round
’bout each and every day
Watching the clock run
Another year around the sun
“Oh, dear! Another year”
Fear the Reaper getting near?

Going faster and faster
Never going to out last her
In The End, her spin will win
So why not join in?
Begin in spinnin’

My dust must spin around
I’m found spinning around

If you can’t beat her, let her eat ya
Joinin’ in spinnin’

LYRICS
Imagination stimulation –> creation
The possibility of maybe
Envisioned dreams come true for you

In the forest, fast
Find fairies the best
Forget the rest
Pass Mother Nature’s test

What will the field yield
Butterflies surprise
Wind wisped wonders
As blue skies arise

In the forest, fast
Across a carpet of moss
Where the gnome roam
Saying, “there’s no place like home”

There’s wisdom in the stream
Can you see what I mean
Go with the flow
May consciousness grow

Imagination stimulation –> creation
The possibility of maybe
Envisioned dreams come true for you

LYRICS
This and that
This is this
That is that
This and that
And, this and that
A little of this
A little of that
A dash of thrash
A dribble of metal
Choose the blues
Either way “no lose”
Country full of rock and roll

A little bit of funkin’ folk
Say “mix in some reggae”
What do you say?
This and that
The more you give the more you live
Fact is fact
The more reciprocal the more for “all”
