LYRICS
32 feet per second per second
Gravitational pull
The higher they climb
The faster they fall
Gonna be Mother Nature’s fool?

Gravitational pull — exponential

We’re not walking on the moon
We’ll come to learn too soon
The more indecent
Sense decent

Acceleration — gravitational

Smaller steps are what you take
Walking on the Earth
For crying out loud! For goodness sake!
Be a creature… or afterbirth?

We’re not walking on the moon
We’ll come to learn too soon
The more indecent
Sense decent

LYRICS
Where ever you may roam
Whichever way you go
Your heart is your home

Where ever you may start
Whatever you may know
Your home is in your heart

The love part
Is in the heart
The love part
Is in your heart

Get shot in the heart
A love injection
Get shot in the heart
Spreading like an infection
Get shot in the heart

A love laced dart
Get lanced in the heart

LYRICS
As I look up in the sky
Watching and waiting for the clouds to roll by
I wonder what shape they will take
I wonder what picture we’ll make

Just for fun
The clouds obscure the sun

As I look up… wonder why
Watching and waiting for the crowds to roll by
I wonder… for goodness sake
When will we start to quake?

Just for fun
The clouds obscure the sun

LYRICS
Fool me one time
Fool me two times
Fool me three times and I’ll have to think twice

* I’m starting to think
That won’t happen tonight
(If that’s alright?)

Fool me one time
Fool me two times
Fool me three times and I’ll have to think twice
*
Fool me one time
Fool me twice
And I’m done throwing dice
*
Fool me one time
Then do it again
It’s time for foreboding to begin

… just a warning… the dog does bite

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — E variations
B7 G A E
Slide E up and down an octave

Based on a conversations about contrails. Clouds are clouds. They are made of H2O / water. That is it. When air passes through jet engines, it creates linear clouds. There are no added chemicals… for that is not possible.

Contrails circa 2001

LYRICS
Shake your head
Get the dust our of bed
Shed your troubles
Pray it doubles

When you dance
There’s a chance
We will glance
A glimpse of reality

When you dance
There’s a chance
Non-circumstance
Is sur-reality

LYRICS
They’ll throw it in the morning
They’ll throw it in the night
They’ll throw without warning
They’ll throw with all their might

If you don’t want to get hit
With that $%#*
Ya better run, ya better run
Ya better run for it!

Better run in the morning
Run into the night
Run, run, run
’till you’re out of sight

LYRICS
Another sea shanty that goes like this
If you’re full of vinegar and of piss
Then, come along for a ride on the high sees

Chorus
On a sea so green
Under a sky so blue
Understand what mean does mean
And how truth hold true

Stow the mizzen mast
Swab the poop deck
Storm ain’t gonna pass
Don’t wanna shipwreck

Chorus

What do you say we stowaway
For a ride on the high sees!

LYRICS
We need a “look out” look out

Do you know
What will it take to soften the blow
Can you show
How to fulfill the missing link?

It’s not as hard as you think!
It’s not as hard as you think!

Do you know
Which direction we should go
Does time flow
As though… life is just… must just be a blink

It’s not as hard as you think!
It’s not as hard as you think!

When we learn to look deep within
We’ll begin
Looking out
Look out!
