CareLess.mp3 (free MP3 download)

LYRICS
When I was carefree
I was board
I asked the Lord, “What for?”

When I was carefree
It was lame
I asked the Lord, “What’s the game?”

Chorus
When I was carefree
Nothing bothering me was bothering me

When I was carefree
It was horrid
I asked God, “Spare the rod!”

When I was carefree
Life was empty
I asked God, “Please spare me!”

Chorus

When you’re carefree are you careless?
When you’re carefree do you care less?

LYRICS
Don’t ever give up your will to live
Forever live a life to give

Spread the love like a contagious disease
I beg you… I’m begging… begging of you please

Don’t ever give up your will to give
Forever give to let life live

Bestow the love so that it may grow
I plead to you… plead until you know

One Foot

Songwriting at Marsh Creek State Park, Pennsylvania

LYRICS
One foot in a flood
The other in a drought
At the cost of blood
One Forty-Four K naught

Chorus
In the Age of waste not, want not
We let the land of plenty rot
The last page… the last astronaut
Engage in rage… love’s forgot

We engage in rage and the love is forgot

One foot under water
The other in the grave
Worse than pigs, for sure
The way we behave

Chorus

One I for an I
Until we all die
Slowly torture
’till extinction

Chorus

This song was written after I read a government report that said over 144,000 people a year are dieing from human induced climate change. Then, I went to a favorite songwriting spot… and it was flooded higher than I’d ever seen.

LYRICS
Can we see through the possibilities
To get a grasp on reality
Can we agree that rationality
Will set us all free

Can we be more of the humanities
Then at last… no cruelty
Will we foresee our creativity
With generosity… giving freely

Forget Me Not Love

Posted on June 10, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
When the tunnel appears pitch black as night
When I can’t see the end… no glimmer of light
I should have remembered to pray for a rainy day
Though I pray I can say there’s never been passion neglect

I would regret if I forget
That I’m in love with you
That would be worse than anything on Earth
That would be worse than anything I could do
That would be to curse my re-birth

I’m giving my love to the heavens above
I’m giving my love to all living beings
I’m giving my love to the heavens above
I’m giving my love to Her image samplings

Sign With Satan

LYRICS
Have you been down at the crossroads
Selling a princess for toads
Did you trade ginger for forever
Under the guise of clever?

Did you sign a deal with the devil Herself
Sacrificing self for worldly wealth
Did you sign a deal with the devil
Ough! That would be ill

Azrael

Posted on June 10, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Grim is the creeper
Creeping ever closer
No reaper sleeper
Guts are getting grosser

Someday you’re going to die
No sense to wonder why
Better to ponder “Why I”

Chorus

Someday you’re going to die
No sense to cry

Chorus

Someday you’re going to die
No sense to sigh

Chorus

Some things I can control
If you want to control your destiny
Listen to me

I will die
Only to be born again
That’s the good news
It only gets better
The escalator to heaven
Any way, you’re right here right now

Someday you’re going to die
You, everyone else and I

LYRICS
When the doom starts to loom
Go toward the omnipresent light
When storm troopers goon
Got to stick up for what is right

What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

When you feel down on your luck
When you are persecuted
It’s time to give a F&%#!
Risking being executed

What is “just” must come true
True the alignment is meant

LYRICS AND CHORDS

Am                   G              Am      G  Am
Little by little the night turns around,

                          G           Am    G  Am
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Dm                   C          Dm          C  Dm
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning,

Am               G              Am
Over the hills a swallow is resting

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Am                 G                 Am     G  Am
Over the mountains watching the watcher,

                      G               Am    G  Am
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow,

Am                      G            Am
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,

Am
The heart of the sun,  The heart of the sun...

Am                    G            Am       G  Am
Witness the man who waves at the wall,

                        G               Am  G  Am
Making the shape of his questions to heaven

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Whether the sun will fall in the evening,

Am                   G            Am
Will he remember the lesson of giving?

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,

Am
The heart of the sun,  The heart of the sun...

Alligator Agitator

Posted on May 30, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
If you grab the tail of an alligator
Better be prepared to say, “See ya later!”
Before it’s too late… you’d better evacuate
Before you bake fate… no need to speculate
At the core, your spirit elevate

If you grab the tail of a rattlesnake
Better be prepared that’s all you can take
Before it’s too late, you’d better forsake
Before you bake fate, open your eyes — awake!
Love and honest faith you can’t fake
