LYRICS
Take a look at the book
Could be the saint… could be the crook
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

Have you heard the word
Rational or completely absurd?
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

Have you read a page
Golden or in the Dark Age
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

What kind of read do you concede
Does it drain you soul or your head feed
… once read feed your head?
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

LYRICS
Come down to Earth? For what it’s worth, you force me to grasp the gravity… gravity of gravity
Creating the possibility of thermal energy
Putting the weight of the world on my shoulders
I suppose we’re all beholders
Gravitating toward one another
Stopping us from drifting further
Come down to Earth? For what it’s worth, you can’t force me to grasp the gravity of gravity
Maybe not a force at all
I’m not sure
If you’re just a consequence of the curvature
Not a straight line in space-time
Come down to Earth? For what it’s worth, you force me to grasp the gravity… gravity of gravity
Our attractive force is proportional
To the product of our masses
Igniting spheres of hydrogen gases
Creating complexities such as galaxies
Come down to Earth? For what it’s worth, you force me to grasp the gravity… gravity of gravity
Bodies in the universe
Drawn on a collision course

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Good God! Oh, my God!
… turn it to some heavenly colour.

I’ve been inspired to write a new lyric based on your inspiration.
It’s entitled “My Red Cup” (working title The Holy Grail)
All hail The Holy Grail
My cup is red, but usually only on Easter… er, a… I mean Good Friday. Better yet, roll it out during The Last Supper. “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life.” Now that I think about it, red cups for a long weekend would be Kosher. (Jesus! After all, I am a Jew.) Start with the plain red cup… then by Easter Sunday (when I rise)… turn it into some heavenly hue. If it’s not too much to ask of you? All hail The Holy Grail!

LYRICS
Gravitational potential energy
The gravity of the position that is me
Alas, my mass (times) gravity (times) height
Is that right?
Position in a force field
I’ve got power to yield
From on tall as I fall
I drop potential
Just as quick climbs kinetic
Me as energy

Spring into action
The potential of elastic energy
Awake from equilibrium position
Partake in taking part of action
Me as energy. The potential I see.
Don’t fear to kick it into gear

Me as energy
Be energy
We as energy
Energy we can be

LYRICS
If you’re out lookin’ for action
Watch out! Here comes some
If you’re aimin’ for reaction
Watch out! Here comes one

With a punch to the “knows”
To the brain blood flows
What do you expect
When you stimulate intellect

If you’re out for satisfaction
Go ahead! Create some
If you’re cravin’ locomotion
Go ahead! Run, run, run

You’re damned if you do
You’re damned if you don’t
Can or can’t or even won’t
You’re damned if you do
You’re damned if you don’t
Your whole whole — a doughnut hole
Damned if you do and damned if you don’t

You’re damned if you try
You’re damned if you fail
My, Oh, My, enough to make you wail
You’re damned if you can
You’re damned if you can’t
The moral of the story “the morals of man”

LYRICS
The turning of the leaves on the trees
One believes they do die
Released from life they fly through the sky
Waving in the wind… bye-bye

From green to gold and red
Turning to brown … turning dead
’till Spring when “born again” is heard said
The scene turning green instead

Meant they’re dormant ’til Spring
Another year another ring
Then the green scene they’ll bring
Spring back in Spring
Singing springing back in Spring

LYRICS
Come a little closer… just a little bit
I wouldn’t want to miss with a little KISS
Right between the eyes with a KISS hit
Come a little closer… just a little bit
Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)
Do you want satin or prefer cupid?

Come a little closer… no, don’t move back
I want to give you this special KISS
Right between the eyes with a KISS whack
Come a little closer… take out the slack
Keep It Simple Stupid
Forget hatin’… feel what love did

bookmark_borderHouse Of The Rising Sun

Posted on by admin

An old, traditional folk song. The origin is unknown but is believed to have originated in England or France. The song was reworked by blues musicians from the South. The first known recording is from 1933. The song was later made famous by The Animals in the 1960’s.

LYRICS
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one

My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin’ man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s on a drunk

Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I’m goin’ back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one

LYRICS
Got my eyeballs…
And note, my ears, nose and throat
You got balls
Sit n’ gloat with membrane bloat

No, I’m not in need of another hole in my head
Are you in need of another whole in your heart?
Enough said
Let’s start

I was gonna say, “this ain’t brain surgery”
But, it sure is
I was gonna say, “this ain’t open heart surgery”
But, it sure is

Judgement day for your perjury
Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars.
Go straight to purgatory
Listen to the screams. Listen to the hollers.

Got my eyeballs…
And note, my ears, nose and throat
No, I’m not in need of another hole in my head

LYRICS
What the heck is privilege
Do you believe you can have an edge?
Smelling all hubris inside
Draped in a cape of pride
Don’t you know
The first are the first to go
The last surpass
… at last

Up to our eyeballs in sludge
Stubborn mule won’t even budge
Trying to rule — overlord
In the kingdom of absurd

Chorus

As I gain the knowledge
The classes drive a wedge
Take the poverty pledge
And, your bets hedge

How can life ever be the same?

You brought me into this world
Might as well stay ’til I checkout
I rot as I grow old
Gotta fight to win this bout

Sooner or later we’re all going to die
Later not sooner is how I’m going to try
The next time I see ya… I’d like to say “hi”
Beats tears and fears of saying “good-bye”

LYRICS
The smile on your face
The loving embrace
It’s heart warming
Enduring

When I began to figure it out
I was just a little sprout
Couldn’t help but to laugh and grin
If I could, I’d do it over again

Then as I started to grow
Wasn’t hard for me to get to know
Taking time to smile with you
Adversity we’d get through

Time goes by and I grow old
Hopefully when my story is told
It’ll bring a smile to your face
Remembering the time we enjoyed in this place
