LYRICS
If times are rough, getting too tough
Do the shuffle
Take it to the street with your happy feet
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

Got a brain fart… don’t know how to start
Do the shuffle
Do it with conviction! Do it with heart!
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

Shake it loose. Turn on the juice.
Do the shuffle
It’s not too late to participate
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

As long as we keep hope in our scope
Promise is: we can not miss
Promise is

Cross my heart and hope to die
Start helping the alive thrive

Keeping faith in the light
Guiding toward what is right
Through the darkest night
Keeping faith in the light

Through the densest fog
Like a scent to hound dog
Seeking out the light
Peeking in the light

LYRICS
I thought I was winning the race
When I heard a voice say, “Pick up the pace!”

Are you aware
The turtle doesn’t always beat the hare
In fact, only one in a million beat him there

Time to put on the shoe and tie the lace
Keep the foot out of the mouth on my face
Time to pick up the pace

You invented the clock (tick-tock)
Now its slave, you work
The ship has left the dock
Spoon’s run away with the fork
Workin’ for the clock (tick-tock)

LYRICS
I know you’ve a long row to hoe
But, in the time seep the benefits you’ll reap

Invest our soul into what’s best
The rest will be easy
… just you wait and see

Before you know, it will start to grow
Magic-like leap into the light out of the deep

Before you know it, you’ll turn grey
Teeth fall out…. senses not felt… call it a day

In the meantime, play your hearts chime

LYRICS
I know it’s not right
But, I’m done with your fight
Not sure if I’ve seen the light
Perhaps blessed with second sight

Falling out of love

All your life trying to grow-up
Makes me want to throw-up

Falling out of love
Taking off the gloves
You could say I’m not gonna play
You could say that I’m on my way

Falling out of love

There’s some commotion
And, it’s staying in motion
Quick like Isaac

Tangled up emotion
That’s staying in motion
Quick like Isaac
“An object in motion stays in….”

Some sort-of love potion
Accelerating motion

LYRICS
Do you find it hard to believe
The air’s not fit to breath
Do you find it spoils the fun
Stayin’ out of the sun

Can you please tell me, “What do you think of that?”
Can you please tell me, “Will you tip your hat?”

Do you hope they’ll relieve
… unwilling to receive
Do you pray someone will say,
“I’m here to save the day!”

Can you please tell me, “What do you think of that?”
Can you please tell me, “Will you tip your hat?”

Do you know what I mean about the rivers and streams
Waterfowl run afoul ain’t no “merrily dreams”

Can you please tell me, “What do you think of that?”
Can you please tell me, “Will you tip your hat?”

Eggbeater circling overhead
And machine-gunners to dread
Supersonic surveillance boats afloat
This is how you spent your vote

Home of the not so free
Home of the not so brave
Is that how you want to be
Is that any way to behave

America what are you doing
What is in your head
America what’s pursuing
Do ya wanna end up dead

Bound and determined to be doomed — self-defeat

Throwing a fit just like a hypocrite
Dowsed and lit… rampage for a bit

There’s an uprising in the street
Destined for destruction… utter downbeat

Hypocrite hypster not so discreet
Into submission you can’t beat

No accounting an imbalance sheet

Mister hypocritester bringing on the heat
Time to clock out on your time sheet

LYRICS
Halfway to the North Pole
Wondering what’s our goal
Gonna pop a cork
In upstate New York

The music scene’s been seen
Does the pop go on top?
Is what the critics deem
Considered on the spot?

Stop! Think on our own… why not?

If you’re not careful you will
Catch a death of a chill
The winter’s cold upon the hill
Standing on the face of a Catskill

Grab a recorder and guitar
Create a lyric… write a bar
About the folk of folk
Fires of imagination stoke

Stop! Think on our own… why not?

Time to call them home
Time the birds start singin’

To pain will he succumb
Ah man, is society that dumb

LYRICS
In the Fall, before the leaves fall
Hard to believe it’s the color of dying
All in all, could be a good call
Relieves and re-lives in the Spring
Funny thing… once you gain understanding
The color of the foliage and old age
Takes on a whole new meaning

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

Starlight, star bright… first star I see tonight
Or are you a planet
Venus, Mercury or Mars?
Thought jars… light traveled so far

Orange, red, golden brown
Flying in the wind… falling down
Aren’t you dancing with delight
In the Autumn twilight

LYRICS
Is your blonde hair for real
Do you do it just for appeal
Or is it more a jacket
To fit the hypocrite

Come on what’s the deal
Tell us how you really feel
Let’s get out of the racket
Into a better fit

Come from there… we’ll fly away
To a better day… don’t care what people say

Do you want fate to seal
What could be your final appeal
Or is it time to ratchet
The notch up a bit

Everything I read has got to be true
Everything I see has got to be true
How could I ever think of something new
How could I ever think of anything knew

The gossip factory
Taking over society

Whisper down the lane it’s all the same
Sister, don’t you think it’s really lame
How could you… knowing what you knew
Down and dirty’s the way you do

The gossip factory
Taking over society

Proverbs 6:16-19
Haughty eyes
Tongue that lies
Blood of innocent
Wicked hearts descent
Flight to evilness
To bear false witness
Anyone who so’s, sows…
Discord… Dis-chord
