LYRICS
Hey, Maestro, do you know
Remember how the tune goes
With a familiar beat
That’ll shake your seat
We’d love to dance
If you’d give us a chance
Make us shake and quake
Take us to the promised land
In the bliss of understand
Hey, Band!

One that goes on and on so long
So long

bookmark_borderFalling On Love (Your Dropdead)

LYRICS
I’m waiting for my heart to start
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead
Without a doubt the hardest part
Is waiting form my heart to start
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead
About to find out what it’s all about
Slipping on love fits like a glove
Slipping on love
I’m falling
Nature’s calling
I’m falling
… on love

Became aware — in need of air
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead
Without a doubt
Oxygen’s rare
Indeed in need
Of some air
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead

It doesn’t matter who you are
Would someone give me CPR
Mouth-to-mouth hasn’t worked so far
Defibrillator’s subpar
Without a doubt the hardest part
Is waiting form my heart to start
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead

Well, then…
Can I Get an “Amen”?
Have I got to say it again
Amen!
Who’s the cause of sufferin’?
A men
Who’s sin is going to do me in?
A men
Who does all the pollutin’?

Who does all the shootin’?

Who does all the beatin’?

Who does all the cheatin’?

Please bow your head

We fools lost our souls
Hearts of holes
Save our souls
Well, then…

Who would have thought
Someone like me
In the presence of one
Lovely
At the pearly gate
Lift the world’s weight
Thank God no more wait
Lift the world’s weight

Of weightless
Wait less

bookmark_borderLaissez-faire

LYRICS
The wait n’ see
Is gettin’ to me
Transparency
Of hypocrisy
Laissez-faire
Market place
Not so fair
Human race
Is it any surprise
When the masses arise
Institutional
Revolution all

Let it be
All set free
Tyranny Irony
Dare compare
Then and now
No one there
Can say how

Better be careful what we wish for
Might be something we can’t endure
But, when there’s a problem we can’t ignore
Going to fight for right… that’s for sure

bookmark_borderEverywhere Angel

LYRICS
All of a sudden
Everywhere
There’s angels
Before unnoticed
The crowd intermingles
And I don’t think anybody knows
Let alone which way the wind blows

All of a sudden
Starting to love
All these angels
A gift from above
Less oblivious
Than most of us
And I don’t think anybody knows
Let alone which way the wind blows

Heaven on Earth
Thankful for birth
For sure
The universal treasure
With most worth
And I don’t think anybody knows
Let alone which way the wind blows

bookmark_borderPig Fly

LYRICS
When a unicorn farting butterflies
Fails to surprise
I realize
Low and behold
The pot at the end of a rainbow
May not be full of gold
As I was told
It might take searching near and far
To find out where the facts are

When a pig that jigs
Takes off and flies
Fails to surprise
I realize

When a grieving mother
Breaks down and cries
Fails to surprise
I realize

When you give up “tries”
And all hope dies
Fails to surprise
I realize
Low and behold
The pot at the end of a rainbow
May not be full of gold
As I was told
It might take searching near and far
To find out where the facts are

All I could see were clouds in my coffee
Now, I can see more clearly
Now, I can see more clearly

bookmark_borderThe In’s And Out’s

LYRICS
Am I blind
trying to find
A kind kind
To combine
One that knows
“In’s and out’s”
That knows what it’s about
I see the grind
Rear-view rewind
Before it’s too late
Determine my fate

Am I the kind
That pays no mind
To being kind
Remind
One that knows
“In’s and out’s”
that knows what it’s about
Be free of grind
Peace we find
Before it’s too late
Determine our fate

LYRICS
At daybreak a glow’s warning
The night gives way to the morning
Minds awake to a glow’s warming
As night gives way to morning
Creatures sound
Lights been found

At the crack of dawn
Lives move on
As the lovers spawn
Life moves on

At the sun’s rise
The opening of eyes
Arise goodwill tries
To deliver the prize

LYRICS
How long does this go on?
Who’s taking bets on “no regrets”?
The things you do come back to you
In The End
If the rules won’t bend
What’s the message you send
In The End

If you love to hate
It’s never too late
To quit that bit
To love to love can’t wait

No obstacle is ever too great
Participate! Carry your weight

It’s up to you what you’re going to do
To pull through
Reporter of days grown shorter
Re-order

LYRICS
Must be under some sort of spell
Oh well farewell
Released blunder from south of hell
Oh well farewell

Save me from humanity
Insanity
There’s rarity in clarity
Clearly we be
(To be, being, been)

This isn’t a drill
Oh well farewell
Hope you’ve got the bill
Oh well farewell

No longer somber dwell
Oh well farewell
Neurons on the jell
Oh well farewell

Holding the answer? Do tell
Oh well farewell
Can’t unring the bell
Oh well farewell

LYRICS
You did it before
Can you do it some more?
Can you do it again
I think you can
Begin again

It should be easy now
You’ve got it down
Find it in you some how
To go one more round

Now that you’re done with your practicing
Maybe we can begin enjoying

The rarity in familiarity
With the essence of a nuance

bookmark_borderIf A Tree Falls….

LYRICS
Catastrophe in the canopy
Nearly every tree falling down on me
A calliope tragedy

Everyday matter-of-fact lumber jack
Heed the crack, fear the whack, panic attack
The only think I lack… sharpened axe

Now to figure how to forge my plow
Into a share that all can share
Become aware
Of the sound of that falling tree

Though the forest is more dense than most
It still can boast to be the host
Of every falling tree

Understanding last man standing
Ultimately if that is me
Then, who will hear my falling tree?

Catastrophe in the canopy
Nearly every tree falling down on me
A calliope tragedy
Round and round our solar sound
Merry-go-round bound for found
Will I be the last tree
(Standing, standing, understanding standing)

LYRICS
Have you ever had a vision
On which you dwell
Time for a decision
Time to propel
Over, under in betwixt
Going to take a shot
An envision fix

Have you ever had a dream
ON which you dwell
Had time to build up steam
Time to propel
Over, under, in between
No reason not
Your slate’s come clean

Have you ever glimpsed the future
As Man’s living hell
But know we hold the feature
To make it turn out well
Over, under in betwixt
Going to take a shot
An envision fix

LYRICS
“Hey there! Can you keep it down?”
Hey there
Take a look around
Hey there
Nothing’s found
Can’t keep the temperature down
Look around
Nothing’s found
To keep the temperature down
Can’t beat the heat

We love to spew
We do. We do
Skew the new
We do. We do
Pollute our habitat
Imagine that
That that’s where we’re at
Stupid primate changed the climate
Can’t keep the temperature down
Look around
Nothing’s found
To keep the temperature down
Can’t beat the heat
Going to have to admit defeat
