Posted on June 19, 2018June 19, 2018 by admin

Apply within… er, a… without

Would you like to command the Space Force?

The forces at play in space
Poof! Gone without a trace
Zero gravity. Are you getting me?
Any notion of an object in motion
Lack-of-friction diction?
As a matter of fact,
Who ya gonna attack?
And, who’s got your back
Depending which way you face
In space
[space interlude]
(Warning! Warning!)
International space station
Encroaching are location
Poof! Gone without a trace
The forces at play in space

It’s So Hot….

Posted on June 19, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
’cause when I try
To see the sky
It’s so hot
I see why not
If I don’t die
I’ll surely fry
And If I try
To tear and cry
It’s so hot
I see why not
If I try n’ cry
The ducts run dry
Wade into shade
The heat won’t fade
It’s so hot
I see why not
Inside the oven
There’s no escapin’
Like six of one
Or half a dozen
It’s all the same
When the heat’s insance
Sizzlin’ I am
Sizzlin’
I’m sizzlin’

No Restraint

Posted on June 18, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Re, re, re, re, restraint
Wears thin
When I see you
Wearing that skin
The skin you’re in
I’d like to see that again
Love? … or something akin
Rub on passionate
Participate
In appreciate
The love… or something akin
Taking off kid gloves
Spilling my guts
Please don’t think I’m nuts
When I look within
The passion
The person
Love… or something akin
Then again… our offspring is our kin?

Days Are Numbered?

Posted on June 18, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
You are right
Great insight
“If you count your days,
They are numbered…
They are “numb”-bered
Is there quality
Or just quantity
Due da due da ditty itty dumb ditty itty itty
Do da do da ditty itty dumb ditty itty itty
Are your days numb-bered
Or are there ways you’d rathered
Why collect regret
When we can select?

The Great Unknown

Posted on June 18, 2018June 18, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Is there any place you own
Out in the great unknown?
Did you happen to save a cave
A quasi-hermit habitat
Or some place such as that?
Further out than under a bridge
Yet/Left undiscovered by the kids
A higher path than on the ridge
Yet/Left undercover without lids
Gone reeling/realing through the ceiling
Far, far away yet at home
Far, far away the great unknown
Can you ever be alone with yourself
Ask the elf on the shelf
Can you ever be alone with yourself?
Ah, the great unknown
If you ask me
How can that be
I guess me, myself and I are we
Alone in the great unknown

E7                                              D   A
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you been putting me through
You took my money and my cigarettes
I haven’t seen the worst of it                                                 
C                         G            D         A  A7      
I wanna know, can you tell me why won’t you stay
                E7       D A          E7                    D A  
Take me to the river,           Drop me in the water 
E7                     D A            E7                    D A  
Take me to the river.                   Dip me in the water     Washing me down
E7                     D A  
Washing me down

I don't know why you treated me so bad
Think about the  things we could have had
Love is emotion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
C                         G            D         A  A7
Oh wanna know, can you tell me I'd love to stay

Push me to the river.                   Dip me in the water     Washing me down
E7              C#m            A              C#m          A                D              
Washing me      Hold me Love me Please me  tease me     Til I Can’t Til I Can’t
[Solo] 

I don't know why I love you like I do
After the changes you put me through
The sixteen candles burn on my wall
Then tell me who is the biggest fool of them all
Oh wanna know, can you tell me I'd love to stay      
[Chorus]

Fly, Dragonfly, Fly

Posted on June 16, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
With that look
You’d think you’d spook
On a hook
You’re a prehistoric dish
For a post-modern fish
Can you imagine this:
Swimming around
Submerged in a lake
What nature serves
Is grateful intake
Fly, dragonfly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
You’re about to die
In case you missed it
Survival of the fit

With that look
Who’d think you’d cook
Off the hook
Homo sapien’s dish
Is the postmortem fish
Can you imagine this?
I sure can
From frying pan
Into man

Are We 2D?

Posted on June 16, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Are my eyes tricking me
Is that really what eye see?
Do you believe in destiny
Or is it fantasy
A face
Reflecting off the surface
The age
Of my image
Is the mirror real
Or two dimensional
Missing dimension
Feel flat… unsensational
A reflection
Of the person
Ventures into known
Now own thy own
Grown into thy own
Now you’ve grown into your own

Prayer Request

Posted on June 16, 2018June 16, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
God, though you may find it odd
I hope I’m not asking for too much
I pray I’m not asking for too much
With all their suffering and such
But could you please
Turn up the breeze…
Just a little more
Believe it or not, that’s what I’m asking for
Please turn up the breeze
Yest, that’s it
Please turn up the breeze just a little bit
Forgive me for the tantrum
Forgive me for the fit
God damn it!
Turn up the breeze just a little bit

Red, White, Black and Blue

Posted on June 16, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Forever waving
Over the saving
Red, white and blue
And, black and blue, too
Now, whatcha gonna due/do?
Let hatred, greed… disguised as need
Stifle you?
When those in your view
Chose to lose
Silence you
Racist, fascist, nationalist
Can’t you see
Let them be
Evident as a “failed”
Where they lie the die experiment
Where they die they lie

The Epic Break-up Song

Posted on June 13, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Alright
It starts off nice and calm
… when we’re still in love

I thought you said you’d love me
You’d love me till The End
And, then…
It was The End

Things are looking brighter now
And, I know somehow
I’ll find my way out of here
I’ll find my way clear

You said you’d never go
Now, I know
It’s time to go

No blood and guts?
You’ve gone nuts
There’s enough blood and guts
You’ve gone nuts

In plain sight
In broad daylight
In the line of fire
Eye-to-eye desire

Next we follow through

Dream the scene
Make it true
Seen in dream
Time is due
