LYRICS
If your best trick’s drastic
Irony of a one-trick-pony
Ain’t that funny
When it cuts ya to the quick
Chorus:
As I’m watching the fish jumping
Head scratching as I’m thinking
Which am I… fish or fly
Which will die… swallow or fry

Can I only face the surface
Or am I willing to dive deep
If we don’t outpace the human race
Ya won’t even hear a peep
(chorus)
Bold to assume both I’ll consume?
Please remain king of the food chain
Yet no matter how hard I try
My know-how’s gonna die
(chorus)
No sense to weep. No sense to cry.
Distraught knot?
Distraught not!

[The fish eats the fly
Then both are eaten by I
We’re all going to die
Would you rather be swallowed or fried?]

LYRICS
Will I recognize you
After we breakthrough
When we reside on the other side
Will we begin again
Starting already knowing
Wondering when the outside we’re in
May the blackness of the heavens
Turn to pure white light
Soul is soaked in safe havens
All is justified just right

Dead but not gone
Playing a long song
Through the light of the night… an eternal dawn
In the light incites
Your light is in my sites
I know I’ll recognize your glow
In the light insights
Your light is in my sights
I know I’ll recognize your glow

“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near.”

LYRICS
Any way to say if you’ll be here today
Any way to know when you’re going to go?
We made the bed we’re going to sleep in
Our best friends and closest of kin

Will I sense that my time has come
Give me a chance before I’ve come undone
Rather dance with crazies then pushing up daisies
All too soon we’re howling at the moon
Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death
Not choosing the path of the devil’s wrath
If She’s calling me to the Promised Land
When it’s time to come home, I understand

LYRICS
The sky’s eyes cry
The eyes of the sky cry
Raining tears of joy
Going to wash and dry
Mother Nature’s toy
Man can try as he can
But he can’t begin
To comprehend
The need to cleanse and mend
Don’t take the bait
To self-annihilate
Quick before it’s too late
Self-inflicted wound
Again and again
Self-inflicted wound
’till you turn your mound
Into a mountain
Again and again
Self-annihilation nation
Desolation Boulevard
Runnin’ through your backyard
Traffic jam of fossil fuel fools
They say they saw the sign, “Humanity, USA — Left”
So they turned around and went home alone
Bye-bye
The sky’s eyes cry
Bye-bye
The eyes of the sky cry
Bye-bye

LYRICS
You showing me your hospitality
You’re giving faith in all humanity
Nothing can go wrong
When you’re in the song
It won’t be long

I like your attitude
Love your gratitude
You’re showin’ me

The serenity of serendipity

You’re glowing… the (I’ll)luminosity
You’re growing from the generosity
Everything is all right
When of you I write
Carries us through the night

LYRICS
If you’re feelin’ a ‘lil blue
I’ve the remedy just for you
The blues will take your blues away
Bluebird singin’ about a sunny day
Sunny days are on your way

If a black cloud follows you around
Don’t let it ever let it get you down
Ear to the earth and feel the sound
Soon enough your song will be found

If a shadow follows you
Something you can do
To your heart be true
Shine the point-of-view

Shouldn’t we give high a try
Take my hand and learn to fly

LYRICS
A dude in Düsseldorf wielding and axe
Orlando, Bowling Green and other lax facts
We call these terrorist attacks?
We call these…
Oh, Lord, please
Woods through the trees
Watching hell freeze…
Over
Discover getting closer to over
Try to bend
The End?
Make no mistake
It might break
A machete at the Leuve
Messing with the groove
Bomb the Boston Marathon
The list goes on and on
Sandy Hook we mistook
Virginia Tech… what the heck?
Colorado… we don’t know
South Carolina… na, na, na

Partly cloudy
Just enough blue
Let’s the sun through
A pretty day in the city
A great day in America
The children sing, “La, la, la”

Turns thoughts like these
Into life’s keys
A glimpse of you
In the rearview
Are you coming to?
A pretty day in the city
A great day in America
The children sing, “La, la, la”

LYRICS
If we envision the vision
Of what we want to do
Envision the vision is mission
To make the dream come true

If we just tune our attitude
From be flat (Bb) to see natural (C♮)
There will be enough soul food
To satisfy us all

If we just take the time
To see the reason in the rhyme
It will be natural (B♮) to see sharp (C#)
Floating like a butterfly… happy as a lark

Live it in your mind’s eye
From slow motion into overdrive
It’s easy to give ‘er a try
Delivers the reason for being alive

[I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee
Won’t my Mama be so proud of me]
A buzzard is two-faced
Their drink is laced
The politician, again?
You bet he can

The tainted drink you consume
Designated mental tomb
What do you mean?
Obscene… at the Inn and no room?
At the “in” and no room
Better let it out
Be it scream… be it shout
Let there be no doubt
Better let it out
Be it word… be it rhyme

LYRICS
Suckling the nipples of the Milky Way
Singing spirituals of a better day
Through the nectar of stardust, we weigh
Through the dust to dust, we will return someday

A snake eating it’s own tail
Talk about an epic fail
Want to write a better tale
Into the galaxy we sail

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a blackhole and sucked up inside her
Making more mortality a blur (more mortality)

Just for fun run ’round the sun
As we make our way
So our mass may pass
Into the future past

Run ’round The Sun.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG

To say “we are stardust” may be a cliche, but it’s an undeniable fact that most of the essential elements of life are made in stars.

“For the first time, we can now study the distribution of elements across our Galaxy,” says Sten Hasselquist of New Mexico State University. “The elements we measure include the atoms that make up 97% of the mass of the human body.”

The new results come from a catalog of more than 150,000 stars; for each star, it includes the amount of each of almost two dozen chemical elements. The new catalog includes all of the so-called “CHNOPS elements” – carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur – known to be the building blocks of all life on Earth. This is the first time that measurements of all of the CHNOPS elements have been made for such a large number of stars.
