LYRICS
Have you seen your screen?
Do you know what I mean?
The mean careen our scene
I’m about to lose my mind
Can’t find the kind that’s kind

Been out on the street
Everyone that you meet
Replaced trick for treat
Do believe I’ve lost my mind
Can’t find the kind that’s kind

I know what I’ll do
I will reach out to you
To save my point-of-view
About to make up my mind
You are the kind that’s kind
The true through loving kind

bookmark_borderLuminousness

LYRICS
They say a new day is on the way
That’s O.K.!
Wipe away the dismay
Save the prey/pray
A-O.K.!
Out of the shadows
Illumination
Luminousness grows
Imagination
Into the throws of knows
Not the similar
Much less simpiler
{Ain’t no use in cryin’)

They say a new day is on the way
That’s O.K.!
Wipe away the dismay
Save the prey/pray
A-O.K.!
Out of the shadows
Into the light
The compassion shows
Goodnight to night
To tomorrow all goes
Not the similar
Much less simpiler
{Ain’t no use in cryin’)

bookmark_borderThe Sun Slowly Slips

LYRICS
The sun slowly slips from the sky
Scarring the daylight out of the night
It dawns on me
I can see
Just ask why
For the light to turn on
As you try
Might ignite desire burnin’
(It’s a turn-om)

The sun slowly slips from the sky
Draining blues from blacks till light lacks
It dawns on me
I can see
Just ask why
For the light to turn on
As you try
Might ignite desire burnin’
(It’s a turn-om)

The sun rounds the bend to The End
Causing the daylight to outright die
It dawns on me
I can see
Just ask why
For the light to turn on
As you try
Might ignite desire burnin’
(It’s a turn-om)

LYRICS
Feeling kind-of strange
In a range
Far to bizarre
To engage
Who we are

Oh, God! Feeling odd
In a range
Far to bizarre

World’s our stage

Steered to clearly weird
In a range
Far to bizarre

Who we are
World’s our stage

Plenty peculiar
In a range
Far to bizarre
To engage
Who we are
World’s our stage

LYRICS
You can go up
You can go down
Or stay in the middle
And roll it all around
Crack the riddle
Wear the crown
Found astound

You can go up

Or stay in the middle
And roll it all around
Off the griddle
Land on ground
Come unwound

You can go up
You can go down
Or stay in the middle
And roll it all around
Paradiddle
Make the sound
Stars abound

LYRICS
When they meet
Say please to meet you
Meat and greet
How do you do?
Over the cuckoo’s nest
One of them flew
Don’t you think it’s best
If one of them knew?
You can bet your bottom dollar
Little piggies holler
… and moan
All the way home

Introduce
They extend their hand
Of deduce
Do they understand?
Over the cuckoo’s nest
One of them flew
Don’t you think it’s best
If one of them knew?
You can bet your bottom dollar
Little piggies holler
… and moan
All the way home

Well, hello!
When they see you
Time to go
On, bye-bye, too
Over the cuckoo’s nest
One of them flew
Don’t you think it’s best
If one of them knew?
You can bet your bottom dollar
Little piggies holler
… and moan
All the way home

LYRICS
You can hear them crying
From the mountain
You can hear them crying
To the sea
Oh, can’t you see
They’re crying for me
And they’re crying for you
What shall we do?

You can hear them crying
In the country
You can hear them crying
Downtown
Oh, can’t you see
They’re crying for me
And they’re crying for you
What shall we do?

We can stop the crying
In the city
Could pity
Those in the wood
Oh, can’t you see
They’re crying for me
And they’re crying for you
What shall we do?
They’re crying for you
They’re crying for me
They’re crying for we
Weeeeeeee

bookmark_borderThe Needle

LYRICS
So far away
Yet so close to home
People? Plenty
Yet still all alone?
Needle in a haystack
Can’t tell the light from black

And so it goes
Another of those
Led far astray
Where hearts are empty
Needle in a haystack
Can’t tell the light from black
When it rains, it pours
While they reign, we’re poor

Lost in a crowd
Does anyone here know
Maybe too proud
Inflated ego
Needle in a haystack
Can’t tell the light from black
When it rains, it pours
While they reign, we’re poor
Who sees…
The forest through the trees?

LYRICS
The End of the Ice Age
Need a new age sage
A guide to slide
Me off the ice
Think twice
About rolling the dice
… less loose grips slip

That’s The End of an era
Need a lesson on less error
A guide to slide
Me off the ice
Think twice
About rolling the dice
… less loose grips slip

They say it’s a new day
Could use some help finding my way
A guide to slide
Me off the ice
Think twice
About rolling the dice
… less loose grips slip

LYRICS
In between the cracks
The dust must
Often overseen
Us to dust
Why fuss
Why fret
On us
To get
With it
(at least for a bit… get with it!)

In between the dark
There’s flashes
In The End we embark
Us to ashes
Why fuss
Why fret
On us
To get
With it
(at least for a bit… get with it!)

Now I stop to think
We’re stardust
The missing link
Always dust
Why fuss
Why fret
On us
To get
With it
(at least for a bit… get with it!)

LYRICS
Absurd is the word
Or haven’t you heard
We’re still alive and kicking
We can take a licking

Demise exaggerated
Your lies overrated
We’re still alive and kicking
The names just aren’t sticking
… still alive and kicking!

It’s a safe bet
We’re not dead yet
We’re still alive and kicking
Our hearts are still ticking
… still alive and kicking!

Абсурд це слово
Або ви не чули

Загибель перебільшена
Ваша брехня переоцінена

Імена просто не прилипають

Ми все ще живі та живі
Наші серця ще цокають

bookmark_borderOutsider

LYRICS
I ventured on outside
Indentured to decide
Inside
I reckoned with reckon
I reckoned to jump-start
At heart
Take warmth in the nurture
… the nurture of nature
Survive
Take stock in the future
… the future of nature/nurture
Alive

On the ride
I adored the outside
Enamored worldwide
All tried
Then pondered the wonder
To wander in freedom
Awesome
Take warmth in the nurture
… the nurture of nature
Survive
Take stock in the future
… the future of nature/nurture
Alive

Have you tried
You ventured to outside
Been guided to decide
Inside?
You reckoned to reckon
Beckoned to re-start
Your heart?
Take warmth in the nurture
… the nurture of nature
Survive
Take stock in the future
… the future of nature/nurture
Alive

LYRICS
You had to ask
The right is wrong
The left is gone
Starting to think it won’t be long
You had to ask
The left has left
Can’t right the rest
Starting to think they don’t know best
The crowning of the irony
Attest

You had to ask
The right turned wrong
All left our song
Starting to think it won’t be long
You had to ask
The right has left
Left can’t digest
Starting to wonder what you suggest?
The crowning of the irony
Attest
