LYRICS
Lying on your back reading a book
Hoping for the introspective look
But you seem to forget… neglect…
You’re about to hang out
Letting it all hang out
Stand on your head
Face turning red
Didn’t know you’re so tall
’till your shirt started to fall
You seem to forget… neglect…
You’re about to hang out
Letting it all hang out

[police radio sounds]
Car 1-24 WPD
Dub you, too
WPD when are you leaving me?
Can’t wait ’till the fall when you leave
(The leaves turn brown and fall to the ground)
Jack fell down and broke his crown
All the King’s horses and all the King’s men…
Couldn’t put ’em back together again

LYRICS
Full moon. Friday on thirteen.
Ghouls and goon fill spaces in-between
Bloom the loon. Dream scene.
Danger does loom for the human being?
Groom baboon. Pick ticks till you’re clean
With the spoon… the dish has not been seen
The cow’s jumpin’ over the moon
None to soon… knowin’ what I mean
Trial balloon. Superstitiousness obscene
Play the tune. Play it mean and lean
Oh, I see it’s myth and fantasy
Bloom the loon… Dream the scene
Honey moon is your honeymoon over
Or just finding a four-leaf clover?
ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — E A E D E G E

An amber-tinted moon, called a honey moon was the full moon on Friday the 13th, 2014.

LYRICS
When I close my eyes, I see the weight of the light
Open to the skies.. gone is the wait of the light
Chorus
The beauty in all you do
Will find its way through
You needn’t think it odd
Under the omniscient eye (I) of God
When I close my mind, I feel the weight of the world
Open up my mind… gone is the wait of the world
Chorus
When I close my mouth, the plight of the meek’s unheard
Open up my mouth… shed light… meek be heard!

LYRICS
Have I been traveling the right way
Through a glorious n’ prosperous day
Am I doing all I can do for you?
Have I been believing what is true
Or am I do for an altered point-of-view
Am I doing all I can do for you?
It’s funny how money is like bees around honey
The bait to tempt your fate to a bent destiny
Am I doing all I can do for you?
The optimal goal — reach the darkest soul
Begin to win our war on sin
What can I do for you?
Pray tell, what can I do for you?

LYRICS
It’s an age old question
When are you going to act your age?
If the phrase causes outrage
It’s not a matter of biding time
’till you become a sage
You don’t ever, ever have to act your age
You don’t need to turn the page
Who want’s to grow old together
I’d rather grow old never
So if that phrase causes outrage
You never have to act your age
Sure it’s a must
We’re all going to turn to dust
But until that time… I’m…
Going to live it up
Who wants to act their age
Except maybe if you are two
Once you get to be about three
You realize I’m me
By the time you reach four
You don’t wanna grow old no more
Once your five… just glad to be alive
If you’re living life in beige (time for color)
And you can’t even bare the days
Gotta stop acting your age
In fact, you should have outrage
How you ever gonna become a sage
Open the door… unlock your cage
Time to be. Set yourself free.
Come on, come on dance with me
Everything is beautiful through the eyes of innocence
As you were once
If you take my advice, you’ll do it twice
Alright!
The sea is turning different colors for me
The see is turning different colors for me

LYRICS
Until I can figure the reason why
I’m going to try, try, try, try
Chorus
When the pushing and shoving outweigh the loving
(Where’s the lovin’?)
When the need to succeed brings out hatred and greed
(Where’s the lovin’?)
Until the captured are free
I’m going to be in search of the key
Chorus
Once you can figure out the way
I’m gonna say it’s a good day
When the pushing and the shoving give way to the loving
(There’s the lovin’!)
When the hatred and greed tide subside
(There’s the lovin’!)

Pop’s in the kitchen gettin’ things cookin’
Kids are in the thick of it… suddenly… quite
Not throwing a fit… but
Quite?
Are you aware? You need to settle down out there!
Pillowcase parachute jumping off the couch
Babysitter’s buggin’ out (though she’s no slouch)
Brothers on a make-believe trampoline trapeze… scene

LYRICS
One thing I can say ’bout this road —
It ain’t the middle
As for the burden … the load
No sense to quibble
The middle of the road left, right?
One thing they tall ya ’bout this boat
Better not rock it
Hit ’em with your dollar vote
And say suck it
I dunno…
Did the high road turn low

When your mane become your main
Concern

You can only primp a pimp
When you get down to it
Vanity vice habit
More than a trim
Bare to the skin
Reveal within

LYRICS
When I’m inside of you, there’s nothing we can’t do
We’ll see it through. Problems solved… turn to few
Hey diddle diddle
Fee-fi-fo-fum
Here comes the riddle
How come?
When you’re part of me, there’s nothing we can’t see
Together we’ll be… infinity of eternity

Sitting by the river
Watching the water roll by
Philly’s the city
Closest to I (eye)
Sometimes you’ve got to ask yourself (WTF) “Why?”
Sitting city-side
Watching the river roll by
Philly’s the city
Closest to I (eye)

Schuylkill will be my legacy

LYRICS
So this what we meant by destroying our environment
A thesis on how our feces annihilates our species
How long can this go on
How long can we go wrong
How long the same old song
How long can this go on
This surely ain’t heaven sent… more like hell bent
A retrospect on lack of intellect lacking bases for our faces

LYRICS
I’ve always been aware
You’ve always been right there
There is no need for the meek to seek
Call out the omniscient freak
I’ve found you surround
Penetratin’ in… hope I’ve got a spout
You’re about to pour out
