LYRICS
Is that your nose that grows,
Pinocchio
More lies than thumbs in pies,
Little Jack Horner
Humanity’s mourner
Hate’s fate
Around the corner
Follow the leader’s lead
Nations will bleed
Freedom’s fiefdom dumb
Never the learner
Chief commander of grief
Your President
Delusional and collusional
You represent
Fantastic plastic from sea to sea
(Shining see to shining see)
Our legacy
Less Redwood Forest… Rocky Mountain tragedy (travesty)
Our history

LYRICS
Bringin’ vinegar
And some piss
Better think quick
(I’m) ready to pitch
Get a load of this
Swing and a miss
Oh yeah
Just another day in the office
Tellin’ ya
Got to make the sacrifice
Swing and a miss
Make it twice
Now, that’s nice
Swing and a miss
Make it thrice
Now, that’s nice
Have no fear
They’re out of here
In the clear
Make your claim the “ballgame”

LYRICS
Won for the money
Too for the show
3 to get ready
For to know
Better run for your honey
Fast yet steady
Not trying to be funny
No fad. Not trendy.
Better run for your life
Fast yet steady
Better run from your strife
Not mad… more friendly

LYRICS
Amazingly interesting
Doing the same old thing
Abstaining from ubiquity
In favor of obscurity
The fruit is ripe
Upon the vine
If you’re going to pick it
Now’s the time
Lived up to the hype
Turned on the love spigot
Spilling the wine
To a nursery rhyme

Unbrazenly interjecting
Inherent… I’m speculating
Heavenly subsistence
A lovingly influence

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If I’m determined to chop, chop, chop
I’d better learn to start at the top
Going to put in some think, thank, thunk
Before axing the trunk
Pulling the trigger on “timber!”

It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock n’ roll
Getting there will surely take its toll
Got to be prepared to spend some time
Learning how to climb
Be a climber before “timber!”

I’m going to take it apart limb from limb
Cut it down to size… yes, I am
I’m going to take it apart branch by branch
Only get one chance
The hair trigger of “timber!”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Standing right here, I see
Where else could I be
Exactly where I am
Now, to begin…
Stand up! Shout out!
Don’t you think it’s time we all move about?
Stand up! Shout out!
Don’t you think it’s time we all dance about?
It can’t get past me
We’re all alone
I won’t outlast me
Mortally prone
Eventually we cease to be
Perpetually remember me
(seize a memory of me)
It can’t get past me
We’re not alone
You may outlast me
… on your own
Eventually we cease to be
Perpetually remember me
(seize a memory of me)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I don’t know about all of this, that and the others
But, boy, I can tell you… If I had my druthers
All these muthers
Would have another thing coming
More strumming
Eat the beat

It seems that everyone you meet
Says “you are what you eat”
All of these “others”
Having a dream that smothers
More strumming coming
Eat the beat

Now, if you want a real treat
Close your eyes, open your mouth… and tweet
(Whistling)
Open (up) your heart
This’ll be the start…
Whistle!
More strumming and drumming
Eat the beat

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The irony of destiny
Can’t let it get the best of me
Blatantly the destiny (one sees)
Is in the “I” of the beholder
One thing’s for certain
We’re all growing…
Older
Going
If the wheels
Come off the tracks
There’s no give-backs
Seals (your) destiny
Maybe I’m blind
’cause I can’t see
Destiny

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Inside the outer workings
Stands the land of I
The success of (my) civilization
Depends how hard I try
Along the path, forkings
Will I be left or do right
The success of my creation
Depends on my insight

Shed some light
Just enough reign
For growth’s gain
Earth revolving
Evolving
(Growing knowing)

Inside the outer workings
Stands the land of ours
The success of (our) civilization
Depends upon our devours
Inside the outer workings
Understand fight or flight
The success of our creation
Depends on our insight
(chorus)
Success… yes!

LYRICS
2 and 2 and 2 and 2 is eight
Is it too, too, too, too late
(2+2) x2 is 8
Is it too, too, too, too late
Not too late to appreciate
Another day above ground
On our world spinning ’round
Feel the sound

I’m counting out time at a rapid rate
Quicksand trap of the hourglass’ bait
(chorus)

Avoiding the low road
Interstate of hate
Taking the high road
Inner state’s pearly gate
(chorus)

Numbered are the days
Till our final date
Expiration is sealed
In our fate
(chorus)

LYRICS
Locked and loaded
Ready to roll
Rock exploded
Gone for a stroll
Rock and roll
Come on fellas
I think it’s time to unload
Guerillas
Got guitars
Hittin’ the road
Road warriors
Soul soldiers
Secret decoded
We’re on a roll
Nerves eroded
Loss of control
Come on ladies
I think it’s time to unload
No more maybe’s
Get powered
Hittin’ the road

LYRICS
Do you like the sound of this
Your desire
Your wish
Stoke the fire
Passionate kiss
The new wish-list
Venus’ mist
Heavenly bliss
Do you hear
The angels whispering
In your ear?
Do you hear
In your ear
Angels whispering?

Do you like the sound of this
Stroke desire
… polishes
Feed the fire
Passionate kiss
Dimpled skin
Flush within
Then, still
A special chill
Up and down the spine
… in time

LYRICS
The beauty from within
Will sprout out
A season will begin
You’ll bloom soon
No doubt
The roots dig in
Giving power
To your flower
Your hour
Your our
The peddle of the petal
Won’t settle
Until it sprouts out
Colors of the rainbow flow
For all to see
The beauty
That you’ll bloom to be
The beauty you’re soon to be

LYRICS
If you’re playing heads or tail
Even odds that you’ll fail
Better name a different game
If you want to remain sane
In sane
Not insane
Playing the game

Roulette 37 to 1
Chances are won’t have won
Better name a different game
If you want to remain sane
In sane
Not insane
Playing the game

Blackjack less than even odds
Unless you’ve got your own Gods
Better name a different game
If you want to remain sane
In sane
Not insane
Playing the game

Holy crap when it comes to craps
The odds on Odds are fair
I wan’t aware
Now you’ve named the game
I’ll be right there
Kind-of like a kick to the groin
Might as well flip a coin

bookmark_borderDesire To Climb

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Wrestling with dirt and dust
Destination or bust
Your burden is the baggage you load
Lighten it up on the high road
The desire to climb
Higher and higher
With the insight
To shine the light
Letting the light shine bright

Finding my way or the highway
Leads to dismay in the disarray
Your burden is the baggage you load
Lighten it up on the high road
(chorus)

Forget accumulation of regret
Seek out and resolve the debt
Your burden is the baggage you load
Lighten it up on the high road
(chorus)
