After Dark.mp3

LYRICS
Just wait ’till after dark
Catch sight of the spark
The flight of the lark
Stop! Look! Hark!

As dusk turns to dark you can make your mark
You’ll see after dark
The glow of an eye bright in the night. (Sight!)
You’ll see after dark

Chorus

As lust turns to love you get to embark
You’ll see after dark
There is you and I… going on our insight
You’ll see after dark

LYRICS
The words for the verse are crucial
And, I’m trying to figure it out

The chords for the chorus… revolution
And, I’m trying to hammer it out

Please let what they sing ring
Throughout the land
Please let what they play say
We understand

No need to rehearse. This crucible
Is sure to fire things up
The power of love is critical
The volume it’s time to turn up

LYRICS
I can’t see clear
Until I’m outta here

’till the shackles are gone
I can’t go wrong
Free of the ball and chain
Before I can roam again

Where do we go from here

I can see your fence
And, I can see past
To a fence past tense
And, we’re free at last

We can see clear
To a place outta here
We can be free
There’s a place… it can be!

Stampede Of Our Own Confusion.mp3

LYRICS
Who let the fox in the hen house again?
(repeat x3)

As long as we don’t cluck
And, &^$% things up
If we all start panicking
We’ll stampede in our own confusion

Like sitting ducks on the first day of huntin’
(repeat x3)

Probably should take flight
Before we’re in their sights
If they all start shootin’
We’ll stampede in our own confusion

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about politicians and the herd mentality of citizens.

A stampede is an act of mass impulse among herd animals or a crowd of people in which the herd (or crowd) collectively begins running with no clear direction …

Chorus
Girl or no girl
My heart is split apart
Girl or no girl
My heart is split apart
Far away

I thought I’d never see the day
When things would go… go my way
Now the world’s… the world’s my pearl
Not gonna be a bug on the grill

And, I live by myself for a while
Finally, my face wear’s a great big smile
I’ve come to find that no girl
Will make me squirm or squirrel

Girl or no girl
My life is split apart
Girl or no girl
My life is going to start
Today

LYRICS
Take a look over there
Take a listen here
With a sound crystal clear
Among friends held dear

Dance is natural
It’ll make you bop and sock-hop
It’ll make you twirl
Music is magical
It’ll make you stop the stop
And, start to feel special

It’ll become your favorite spot
Make you feel comfortable being hot
When you play a song you’re beautiful
When you dance along your unbelievable
Let it be told — sold on out-of-this-world
Why not?

LYRICS
Water dripping from a faucet
Try to dodge the raindrops without getting wet
Unordered as the system may appear to be
It’s only because you’re too close to see clearly

Um, though it might appear random
To call it such would dumb
It’s much more complicated than that
Better put on my thinking hat

A butterfly flaps it wings
Causing devastating things
Showing up as tornadoes in Kansas
Your smallest intention effects all of us

Smoke rising up into the air
A most fascinating thing as a smoke-ring
Crystals forming where it was bare
Call it a gem. Call it rare

LYRICS
The key is under lock and key
All modes of communication fail
Like a jaguar chasing a monkey
We’re taking on water… better bail!

The key still under lock and key
All routs of transportation fail
Like a jaguar chasing a monkey
Start walking on water… we need the Holy Grail

The key is locked on the inside
Drowning… respiration will fail
Like a poacher shoots the jaguar for a hide
Start treading treading water… it’s your tail

Like the monkey chases the weasel
Like the jaguar chases the monkey
Like the poacher chases the jaguar

All around the mulberry bush
The monkey chased the weasel;
The monkey thought ’twas all in fun,
Pop! goes the weasel.

LYRICS
Do you find it compelling when a cat stalks a mouse?
Do you find yourself watching the burning of a hosue?

Beauty is the I of the beholder

Not a matter of being bolder
Not a matter of growing older

Do you find it compelling when you watch an arrest?
Then, on the other hand… are you willing to witness?

Before going to be… watch this
There goes a piece of JFK’s head
Watch the train wreck
What the heck

Beauty is the I of the Be Holder.mp3

LYRICS
The mother of nature
The father of time
Eventually
Nothing is “mine”

Rest assured
It’s the nature of Mother Nature
Guaranteed with certainty
As in – For Sure!
No need to be insured
It’s your life
For as long as it can be endured

Don’t let the Grim Reaper
Cut you like a knife
Don’t be Snow White sleeper
Make spontaneity your wife

Dance through your days
Dance all your nights
Smile all the which ways
Smiles bring delights
