bookmark_borderGet Glad!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do you want to live your life being mad
Perpetually sad
Don’t you think that would stink
So bad
Get glad!
(So glad, know glad, ohhh glad!)

Do you want to live your life all crazy
In a petulant frenzy
Pretty sure that can’t endure
Too bad
Get glad!
(So glad, know glad, ohhh glad!)

Do you want your life to pass you by
Never knowing really “why?”
Last gasp before you die sigh
If I’d
Get glad
Get glad!
(So glad, know glad, ohhh glad!)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Never ending circle dance
Birth on Earth
Back to earth
Both ends pomp and circumstance
Hydrogen, oxygen, then…
Carbon, nitrogen made Man

So I did begin
Likely will retreat
Between I’m singin’
To the circle of life beat
Keep singing
Keep dancing

Never ending circle dance
Birth on Earth
Back to earth
Both ends pomp and circumstance

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can touch “I am”… I think
(Heart beat)
A conflict of intellect
And circumstance
Watch it pass by
Or stand up
And take a stance

Can touch “I am”… I think
To restrict the derelict
Or cooperate
Watch it pass by
Or ask why
And participate

I think I am… in touch
The question: how much?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
There’s always been more more before
But now depleted
There’s always been more more in store
For now completed
Anoint our exploit with conceit
Appoint our desire to deplete
Higher than our need to eat

There’s always been more more before
Nature’s defeated
There’s always been more more in store
Our greed’s deep-seated
Anoint our exploit with conceit
Appoint our desire to deplete
Higher than our need to eat

There’s always been more more before
Mothers maltreated
We’ve never been this poor before
Problem untreated
Anoint our exploit with conceit
Appoint our desire to deplete
Higher than our need to eat

LYRICS
Turned yellow
Running into red
Spurned fellow
Gonna wake up dead
In case you’re wondering
Here’s the saddest thing
You won’t hear angels sing

Turned yellow
Burning in the red
Knees of Jello
You’ve made your bed
In case you’re wondering
Here’s the saddest thing
You won’t hear angels sing

Learned Hell-o
Bet your obit. read
Earned hell, oh…
Will you know you’re dead?
In case you’re wondering
Here’s the saddest thing
You won’t hear angels sing
Amen

LYRICS
A stowaway
On a run to circle the sun
A stowaway
Hitched a ride on Earth since birth
Whoever’s driving this thing
I’d surely love to know
Forever striving to bring
Conscience feelings flow

A stowaway
On a run to circle the sun
A stowaway
Hitched a ride on Earth since birth
Whoever’s driving this thing
I’d surely love to know
Forever striving to bring
Consciousness to flow

Clandestine traveler
Time unraveler
Tearing through the days
Part particle riding the wave
Through the day
Making way

bookmark_borderWhich End Up?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you coming… are you going?
Hard to tell which end is showing
As you turn away
Neither face can say
Not knowing
Just another day
Glasshouse sort-of way
Rock throwing

Are you coming… are you going?
Hard to tell which end is showing
As you walk away
Neither face in play
Unknowing
Just another way
Glasshouse living day
Stone throwing

Are you coming… are you going?
Hard to tell which end is showing
As you fade away
Faces in disarray
Fought knowing
Live your last day
Glasshouse error day
Still throwing

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Really picked that right out of nowhere
Right into sight… naught… now there
Precision of a magician
Focus on hocus pocus
Merlin will rise again

Pure pulling a rabbit out of a hat
Never could have imagined that
Precision of a magician
Focus on hocus pocus
Merlin will rise again

Scientists along the radius
Of the round table
Realists among the populous
Of our bound fable

Merlin to the rescue again
Save us from us
Merlin our savior begin
Balance injustice
Balance in justice

LYRICS
Hey you
Snap to
It’s time to get up
Got to move
Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe know
Make no mistake
When the levee breaks
You’ve got to move
The levee broke today
We have no place to stay
Mountain man left his home
Weep and moan

Hey you
Snap to
It’s time to get up
Got to move
Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe know
Make no mistake
When the levee breaks
You’ve got to move
The levee broke
Mama you got to move
Ain’t no joke
The levee broke
Behooves to move

All last night
I ran from the levee and moaned
Mean ole levee mowed down my home
All last night
You can cry with all your might
Won’t do you no good… only running could

bookmark_borderThe End of the Ending

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The last thing will be the first thing
The start of something new
The ending of the ending
As beginning I never knew
… how time flew
The best of the best
Just keeps getting better
Book, chapter, verse
Down to the letter
The reality of living history
Now you’ve told your story
That story has been told
That story has grown old
(End of age… turn the page)

The next thing will be a new thing
In time the future passed
the ending of the ending
We knew it couldn’t last
… time went past
The best of the best
Just keeps getting better
Book, chapter, verse
Down to the letter
The reality of living history
Now you’ve told your story
That story has been told
That story has grown old
(End of age… turn the page)

How can your right all be wrong
If you’d listen to yourself
It wouldn’t take long
Go figure?

How could you leave what is left
Pity party for the sorry soul’s theft
Grave… dig your?

Must be up to me
What I want to see
The me I want to be
Now I know to leave it to you
We’d be through

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The look in your eye
As you look to the sky
Do you see the light of day
Or did the light decay?
Are you O.K.?
Say what’s your sight
Will everything be alright
Say what’s your sight
Do you see the night?

The look in your eye
As you look to the sea
Do you spy a low tide
Or the tide forever high
Please tell me
Say what’s your sight
Will everything be alright
Say what’s your sight
Do you see the height?

The look in your eye
As if you’re going to cry
Tears of delight or fright
Insight into your foresight
… is it do or die?
Say what’s your sight
Will everything be alright
Say what’s your sight
Do you see the light?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Don’t count your chickens
Before they hatch
They said
What if they’re born dead?
While I’m having them scrambled
Is what’s going through my head
The everyday irony
That is presented to me
Choose agony
Or sweet, sweet harmony

Bird in hand
Is worth two in the bush
They said
What if they’re not for dead?
While I’m setting them free
Is what occurs to me
The everyday irony
That is presented to me
Choose agony
Or sweet, sweet harmony
