bookmark_borderWhat Is Ours?

LYRICS
An eye for an eye… a tooth for a tooth
You call that telling the truth
An I for an I… in revenge we cry
Until death! We’re all going to die

Love from Venus, wars from Mars
The consequence of battle scars
The more we forget, the more we regret
Might as well get up and get at it

Love from us, ours is yours
The consequence of open doors
The more we explore, the more “will” / we’ll endure
We can see much is still in store

Love from Venus, wars from Mars
Earthlings, what is ours?
The more we protect, the more we project
A legacy they’ll never forget

bookmark_borderThe Ghost In Me

LYRICS
You know that I’m right here for you
You know that I’ll always be
When 6 feet of dirt cover my view
Make the most of the ghost in me

When my ashes turn to dust, you must
Know in my soul you can trust (a must)
When my body no longer can be
Make the most of the ghost in me

When I kick the bucket
Don’t say “#uck it!”
Don’t need “I’s”/eyes for me to see
Make the most of the ghost in me

We can be happily
Everafter
No last chapter
Everafter
We can be
Eternity

bookmark_borderLike Pulling Teeth

LYRICS
Good grief?
Like pulling teeth
Disbelief
Pulling teeth
(Open wide! You can’t hide!)
The sound of the drill
Makes me ill
When you see the bill
Feel ill still
Get the grind
Out of mind
Try to find
Someone kind
The gravity of a cavity
Weighs me down
Dental crown
King clown
Phew! Relief
Not pulling teeth
Glad the Dr. could
Say “Looking good”

LYRICS
Different? OK!
Indifferent? No way!
If you don’t care to care
This is going nowhere
The fashion of compassion is no fad
Imagine how you’d feel if you never “had”
Never had… never had had
If yo never had clean water, would it matter?
If you were cold and hungry how indifferent would you be?
If the clothes you chose weren’t a choice
Would you raise your voice
Against indifference
I’ll have one of those
And make a difference
My stance — make a difference
This instance
Any circumstance
Make a difference

LYRICS
Hear the guitar playing
Message it’s relaying
Get together clap your hands
Everyone understands

Universal language
We all can engage
Get together sing out loud
Forming an angelic cloud

Descending from heaven
Rising up again
Get together we’re a band
Playing throughout the land

Universal language
Carry’s no baggage
Come on let the music play
Melody carries us away

It’s a gas
Surely we’ll pass
In the meantime
My heart burns
In verse and rhyme
My heart yearns
Alas
It’s a gas
Life moving fast
Present to past
Hope to out last
It’s a gas
Did solid
Did liquid
Now the hour of our vapor
State transfer
Gas! Ssssss…
Transparent as glass
Into gas
This is metamorphosis
We’re a gas

LYRICS
I haven’t written anything yet
On your mark, get ready, set….
You know it’s time to go
Had to wait and anticipate
For blue sky to roll by

You can bet the first chance I get
On your mark, get ready, set….
You know it’s time to go
Had to wait to participate
In blue sky rolling by

Singing out loud
Break in the cloud
You know it’s time to flow
On your mark, get set, go!
Where air and earth mate
Had to wait and anticipate
For blue sky to roll by

In our eyes to realize
Time and a word
Time our message
Of love is heard
Yes, the time at hand to understand

Four-leaf clover
Forever an endeavor
Now and ever more
Lucky for a ground score
Lucky is pure for sure
Now there’s one more
Godspeed
May the force be with you
Indeed
Hallelujah, too
Heads-up penny
Bright and shiny
Call that lucky
Rabbit foot tale
All toast with ale
Luck, never fail
Good luck
Lined up duck
I beg
Break a leg

X-ray vision
I see a revision
… can see right through you
What the damage is going to do
Make the decision

Isotope probe
You know you’re going to glow
Can see right through you

Season of reason

See inside me
Internal treason
Fight in sight

LYRICS
In a race
Running in place
Unaware
Going nowhere
Keeping pace
Running in place
Soon I found
Gaining no ground
Stagnant
Like a plant
Maybe I’ll grow on you
Static
Less than quick
Clue: non-changing view
Face-t0-face
Running in place
Now aware
Going nowhere
First place
Running in place
Running late
To wait

LYRICS
Quick! Going to get sick
The hospital makes me ill
At the time, I was feeling fine
Well, now my wellness is on the line
Get me out of here
Need air that’s clear
Sound the alarm for harm
Induction of infection
Don’t want to learn of the germ
My health is a gem
My wealth is a all gone
From the system I’m in
Oh, dear! Get me out of here
Hypochondriac fear
Cardiac attack
Fell ill from the bill
Treasure my health
But lost my wealth
From the system I’m in

LYRICS
Doctor! Doctor!
Tell me what you knew
Doctor! Doctor!
Tell me what is new
Doctor! Doctor!
This ain’t the flu
And I’m overdue
Need a transfusion
From this delusion
Feel like mud
Need new blood
More radiation
For cessation
Know what I mean
Can’t even scream
Laryngitis
Illness fights us
The modern dread
Is waking up dead
Let me out of this hospital bed
Hospital gown getting me down
The lack of a back
Let’s my ass pass
Into thin air
Is there anybody there?
Hello? Hello?
I just dunno…

LYRICS
Still waiting
Anticipating
Don’t hesitate to wait
Same space another place
A waiting room boom

Still waiting
Anticipating
Don’t procrastinate… wait!
Same race another place
A waiting room loom

Still waiting
Anticipating
Regurgitate the wait
Same taste another place
Sick of the waiting room

Still waiting
Anticipating
Can’t help but hate the wait
Snail’s pace another place
Shades of retrograde… in the waiting room
