LYRICS
If you grab the tail of an alligator
Better be prepared to say, “See ya later!”
Before it’s too late… you’d better evacuate
Before you bake fate… no need to speculate
At the core, your spirit elevate

If you grab the tail of a rattlesnake
Better be prepared that’s all you can take
Before it’s too late, you’d better forsake
Before you bake fate, open your eyes — awake!
Love and honest faith you can’t fake

LYRICS
Chorus
Hey! I just wanted to say
It’s a perfect day

As you hurry along your way
Can you pause long enough to play
As you scramble through the day
Can you cause long enough to stay

Chorus

As you scurry along your way
Did you does serve to purvey
As you ramble… talking away
Will your good deeds far outweigh

Chorus

As you worry about your pay
Does the stress cause decay
As you gamble action replay
Will your soul wilt, wither… fray

Hey! I just wanted to say
Hope you enjoy every single day

LYRICS
What do you know that is good?
What are you going to do for food
In your neighborhood?

What is good that you know?
When it comes to knowledge
Where you gonna go?

Who’s your friend? Who’s your foe?
Who is driving the wedge
Between yes and no?

What is good that you know?
Gonna live by the sword…
Die by the plow?

Writing a Monsanto Protest Song in West Chester, PA

ABOUT THIS SONG
At one of my usual haunts for writing music, I had begun a songwriting session… when, a group of people started gathering around me. It appeared as though my “office” had become the site of a Monsanto protest.

So, I figured I’d write this song about it; however, I didn’t have a title. As I went to record the a video of the music, an alarm went off. It seemed to fit. Thus, the name of the song.

LYRICS
Starting to think
’bout being in the pink
Waist deep in Spring
Summer’s approaching

Starting to ponder
What it means to wonder
Waste deep in Spring
Summer’s sizzling in

The climate, she’s a changing
Permanent as benevolence
Stalemate forever enduring
Arrogant as irreverence

ABOUT THE SONG

This song is about the lack of Spring caused by global warming. All the pink cherry blossoms have fallen off the trees and are about “waste deep”.

While I was writing this song, local artist John Hannafin stopped. He had painted a picture of the blossoming trees and wanted to know if he could paint me in.

LYRICS
I look to my right
There’s an angel on my shoulder
Sitting in the light
I look to my left
There’s a devil on the other
But, She ain’t as deft

Chorus
Will it be a battle
Love Vs. Lust
Will it shake n’ rattle
The meaning of must

Then, She says to the angel
“Do you want to fight?”
The angel glows bright in flight
Rising above causing Her to fall

Chorus

LYRICS
As you believe in Our
We’ll gain in power
By the hour

As love reaches infinite
We’ll grow passionate
By the minute

I believe! I reckon…
Love becomes the trend
By the second

Can you see… can you see the light at the end of the tunnel
Can it be… can it be we might solve our puzzle
1,2,3… 1,2,3 hang-on tight… use all our muscle

Repeat verses

Land or sea… land or sea or flight
Unite… couple
Can you see… can you see the light at the end of the tunnel
Can it be… can it be we might solve our puzzle

LYRICS
Sitting on the bed
Looking out the window
Shaking of my head
Blocking out the shadow

When I was a child it use to snow
Since then, man went wild
Now, you never know

Standing with the keys
Pining out the window
Opportunity to seize
Singing to the snow
Where did you go?

We know
What we did to you, Snow
Please last
Please forgive us
For we know what we’ve done
First is last is first is last

Please forgive us,
Quasi-civilization Of The Dumb

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — A D A

Written and recorded December 29, 2012 in Chester County, Pennsylvania as an extemporaneous, 1-track, stereo, digital recording. It started snowing today, and it made me long for days gone. So, I thought I’d write a song for part of our Human Induced Climate Change Experiment and an article entitled Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover is Retreating. (Also see: Record Warming)

For man to wake

Ah… Ohhh…

Shake and bake

Please give us the tools
To release us as fools
Self-imposed Lady of Shalott
Let us choose not
