LYRICS
Turning water into wine
(A mighty fine wine)
Slowing the sands of our time
(A might fine time)
Will you dance with me
In serendipity
Dance and be happy
In serendipity

Churning milk into cream
(A supreme cream)
Chasing ilk into dream
(The cream of dream)
Will you dance with me
In serendipity
Dance and be happy
In serendipity

A little bit more
A little bit less
Maybe that’s just alright
A little less war
A bit more bliss

Why? But why not?
We’re growing old
Baby, come see the light

LYRICS
At this time of year
Wishing you more cheer
With each passing day
May more cheer come your way
Your universal smile
Goes the extra mile
Making everything OK
The glimmer in your eye
Reflects the inner “I”
There’s no need to say

At this time of year
Wishing you more cheer
With each passing day
May more cheer come your way

Heaven’s calling…
… home
Feel all alone
On your own?
The bad guys are knocking
Heaven’s calling
All enthralling
If you feel like talking

Pick up the phone
There’s no use in sulking
Heaven’s calling
No need stalling
If you feel like talking

LYRICS
Said with such confidence
It’s hard to know
If there is evidence
Or just a show
Barnum and Bailey style
Walk this way a while
Barnum and Bailey style
Later crocodile

Is it reality
Or just a con
Hold tight your money
Or it’ll be gone
Barnum and Bailey style
Walk this way a while
Barnum and Bailey style
Later crocodile

Too good to be true
Buyer beware
Take it all from you
Learning to bare
Barnum and Bailey style
Walk this way a while
Barnum and Bailey style
Later crocodile

Come over the rainbow
n’ see what the kids know
Amazed at the colors
Engaged how the sight lures
Us
Into a bliss
This bliss abyss
Living our wish

Come open a new door
You’re likely to see more
Amaze at the colors
Engage how the sight lures

Living our wish

Come up to the next floor
Arise to the ensure
And gaze at the light pure
Applause is a sure lure

LYRICS
Take a look at the book
Could be the saint… could be the crook
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

Have you heard the word
Rational or completely absurd?
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

Have you read a page
Golden or in the Dark Age
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

What kind of read do you concede
Does it drain you soul or your head feed
… once read feed your head?
I learned my lesson well
By the cover I can’t tell

LYRICS
I’ll have an ole fashion
Just the way I did
While I listen to ya fib

Ya said we’d be free
From sea to sea
Let it be

Strap on your spurs
Fix your bayonets
Rather the girls
Though both bring regrets

The legacy of our society
“Me, me, me!”
The legacy of our society
Breakin’ every treaty

Where the buffalo once would roam
We plowed a home
Raping the children of Mother Nature
Man, did we mature?

LYRICS
I’m whistling with you
I’m smiling at you
Irresistible
The feeling surrounds you
Quintessential
To be the Queen Bee

If you strive for the hive
We’ll do more than survive
We’ll thrive

For those who want to derail
Take our train from the tracks
Exhale
Relax

Less the swarm harm
Try to chill your will
Stand still
Don’t sound the alarm
After all, what is your aim? To tame?

Written and recorded on June 9, 2012 as an accident occurred right in front of me in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The mean has to do with a train coming off the tracks in the middle of a bee hive as compared to the human race.

I won’t tell you no more
At any rate, you’re probably right
It’s too late
I won’t tell you
No more

It’s temperate
Inhospitable
Environment

So, of all these things you abhor
I won’t tell you
No more

For self-wealth
Memory it yourself

I ain’t your Mama
Don’t need the drama
I won’t tell you
No more
