LYRICS
What goes around
Comes around
What goes around
Home is found

Better be careful who I push around
Gonna find out about dishing it out
Time will pass till Karma kicks my ass

Chorus

Better be mindful of where I’m bound
Takin’ in a lesson about taking it
Hold still! This might hurt a bit

Chorus

Better be thankful it wasn’t worse
Coulda ended up in the back of a hearse
Or the glue factory with the ‘ole horses

Chorus

LYRICS
Hmmm… yum, yum, yum

Saw a reflection of a wizard
Looking up at me
Wondering how long
Our history would be

Just for fun
He thought he’d question me
“Can you tell how long
Our history will be?”

I looked into the sky
… with a sigh
“Can you tell me, Creator,
How long we will be?”

She said,
“Son, you see there’s something troubling me…
Creation termination is how it’s gonna be?”

I said,
“You’re right. Thanks for showing me the light.”

Yum, yum, yum we love eatin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love slurpin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love suckin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love throwin’ up dumb

LYRICS
Go light it
Go ahead ignite it
The fuse will burn
The ignition light
Turn, turn, turn
’till we learn to unite

Woke up this morning
Soon as I heard the news
Without a warning
The Mississippi blues

Chorus

Keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel
Shot your load
Do you know the real deal?

Chorus

Instead of singing the blues
… light the fuse!

Wake!
There’s a wake from a quake
A tsunami headin’ right for me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Wake!
There’s a flood of information comin’ right at me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Wake!
For goodness sake… it’s a fake
A wave of dishonesty comin’ right for me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

LYRICS
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
Livin’ so peacefully
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
A merry old soul was he
Smokin’ his pipe and listening to his fiddlers three

Chorus
A merry old soul
A merry old soul
A merry old soul was he

Andrew Wyeth’s Brandywine bank
Makes for perfect scenery
Andrew Wyeth on Brandywine’s bank
Livin’ so peacefully
With his paints and artistry
… he’d capture history

Chorus

The indigenous Lenape
Living in Lenape
The indigenous Lenape
Livin’ so peacefully
Smokin’ peace pipes in a teepee
Dancin’ to drummers
Dancin’ to drummers
Dancin’ to drummers merrily

LYRICS
Are you awake?
There’s a big ass snake
Swimming in our water
You may wish to go no further

Why did he pick today
To come out and play
Silently slithering with no wake

Look! Upon the rock top
Coiled in the sun
Do you fell the urge to run?
Stop!

You’re sure you’re the cure
Mixer of the fixer elixir
Or snake oil salesman?

Amen

Written and recorded on the banks of the Brandywine River in Lenape, PA. The song was inspired by a large (over four feet long) Northern Water Snake. It crawled out from under the rocks I was sitting on, swam through the swimming hole and sunned itself on rocks on the other side.

LYRICS
Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
Stepped into a sweatbee factory
The hornet’s nest… you’ve made a mess

Chorus
Throwing that rock
… and roll
Into the rock-n-roll

Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
The ripple from the stone you throw
Has an impact… or don’t you know?

Chorus

Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
Now the fish have gone away
How’re gonna eat today?

Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
Adding confusion is no solution
To our communication degradation

LYRICS
Did you ever wish you could be a fish
And, get that fisheye point-of-view
Have you?

Have you ever thought of being a hawk
Soaring above this 3rd world rock
Nice view

Expanding your view… can you?

Have you thought of being a dragonfly
To hover… you needn’t even try
It’s true

Expanding view… you, too

Have you ever considered being a tree
On a river’s bank… roots set free
Let’s see
Have you?

Nice view… it’s true

LYRICS
Sitting on the bank of the Brandywine
On a day oh so fine
Watching the water flow by me
Wondering how long ’till it gets to the sea?

Floating a dream on the Brandywine
Setting sail at the pace of a snail
Drifting through our modern time
Wondering if the passing past will rain reign again

On the 7th day of the 7th month
Heading to the mouth… of the bay
Oh what a fine, fine hot summer day
On the magical mystical Lenape way
