Trip The Petal Fantastic.mp3

Dance on top of the flowers
Skating over the surface
Soaking in all the hours
With a soul and a face
Take in a love embrace

The sun comes through the showers
Lighting the Earth’s surface
Soaking in all the our’s
Adding soul to the face
Take in a love embrace

Take-in a love embrace
Taking a love embrace

LYRICS
If you chase your dreams
You’re likely to collide
Reality’s what is seems
Come enjoy the ride

As a matter of fact
Imagine that

Go on chase your dreams
You’re likely to arrive
Un-stitch at the seams
Strive to ride the drive

Don’t think twice
You look quite nice
As a matter of fact
Imagine that

If you choose to pose
Run, 2, 3,.. jump
Now the pose you chose
Will give us all a pump

As a matter of fact
Imagine that

LYRICS
We’re living here quite happily
Don’t you cry for me
No, no sense feeling pity
Don’t you cry for me

Oh no please don’t be sad
I love the days we’ve had
Oh yes please do be glad
This life ain’t half bad

Oh no please don’t be mad
I love the ways of fad
Oh yes seize the moment
That the Lord for movement

LYRICS
Unfortunately,
Found in the thick of sick

Does your head hang heavy
Thick as a brick?

… in the thick of sick
Found in the thick of sick
Come ’round

Quick,
Let’s get you out of there…
Fortunately

A ground swell of well
A well of goodwill
Well, good
Freewill
Until
The End

LYRICS
Live from KingArthur.com with an important public service announcement:

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of you fine citizens out there in TV-land…
Don’t forget to tip the bartender
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses

I’d like to tip the waitresses
… I’d like to tip the waitresseses
For making us tipsy
A tip for making us tipsy

If you just showed up
Raise a cup
Here’s what’s up
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses
A tip for getting us tipsy

Now, I think I’ll walk home….
Maybe… if it’s not an inconvenience I’ll just sleep on your couch. I could sleep on the floor… you don’t need to worry… I’ll lock the door… on my out.
I could lock up?

Raise a cup
A tip to the waitresses

Don’t forget the bartender
Yeah, that’s a hard job… listening to all of our wine… ya know… we go into such detail… blah, blah, blah….

LYRICS
If you listen to Her words
They’re like a whisper on the wind

Wind whisperer
Bestow to know
Wind whisperer
Ebb and flow

Time and Tide waits for no man
(no man’s land)
There’s no time to understand
(no man’s land)

Ride the tide
Wings of windshear
Ride the slide
Soul of atmosphere

The path is clear

No God to fear

Keeps me stuck to the face of the Earth

Ever since my mother gave birth
I’ve been stuck to the the Earth
Until the day I die
Gotta wonder why

Songwriting Along the Delaware River

LYRICS
The Delaware is running high
Thanks to the banks
For keeping us dry

While on the other side, the well runs dry
While where the well runs dry they cry,
“Is salvation hiding nearby?”

Flanks of the ranks
Make trying a try
While on the other side, Fat Cats — big, fat & wide

ABOUT THIS SONG

LYRICS
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
When you start to wine, wail n’ preach
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech

Chorus
If you’re going to talk the talk
Better make sure you can walk the walk
To get what we teach to reach
(2) To get what we seek in deep
What we seek to sink in deep

Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
When we start to find, sail n’ then some
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come

I am reminded of all that’s been
No matter what I’ve seen
No need to forget
If you don’t regret
So long as you don’t regret
So long

You have rekindled all that can be
Far better than time’s lean
We can all ingest
’till the age is best
Sow long

Then we’ll reap, reap, reap
‘fore the reaper

Will the weather be fair
The path is clear
End moving ever nearer

The rain reigns rain
Washing pride from proud
Pointing out the sane brain

Take on parade
Vulnerability we aid
