LYRICS
Physics debate: negate hate?
Collapse of synapse
A blackhole stole your soul

The bargains in your basement
Are the toys in your attic
Again and again with disparagement
Enough to cut you to the quick

Chip off the old blockhead
Rest my case… put to bed
If you ask me
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

Really no treat in the heat
Still tryin’ to learn concern
A homicide of the whole inside
Sacrificed soul to the blackhole

LYRICS
Please, please won’t you spell it for me: L. O. V. E.
Love me in the morning
Love me without warning
Love me in the evening
Love me without reasoning

Please, please won’t you spell it for me: L. O. V. E.
I can see
That it’s meant to be
The certainty
Of love eternally

Please, please won’t you spell it for me: L. O. V. E.
Love me all the day
Love me all the way
Love me through the night
Love with all our might

LYRICS
Hard to tell (Witch’s spell?)
But it looks like a groundswell
Mountain.. I’m talkin’ mountain
Mountain out of a molehill

Hundred percent chance
Of wearing an avalanche

I’m sure hopin’ you’re wearin’
Mighty big shoes to fill
It won’t be long ’til you’re gone
And, this avalanche could kill

So, choose to donate your shoes
For us to fill them in again
A second chance from this avalanche
And escape the hell of your groundswell

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Going old school
For whom does the bell toll?
Meanwhile a child will smile
Everything will yearn to turn

Do you want a burdensome load
To carry to the end of your road?

Do you want to live in “#uck it!”
’till you kick the bucket?

Do you know why “we’re all gonna die”?
Is Promised Land pie-in-the-sky?

Pushing up daisies more than a maybe
From a man to a stardust baby

Everything will yearn to turn
Everybody will churn
Every body everywhere
Everybody every where

LYRICS
I’m unsure about time capture
Is time something you can store
Am I a time capsule
In continuum on patrol

They say time The Avenger
Will make you a stranger
Foregone unknown into the future
Quick! Capture your soul with a picture

I’m not sure about saving time
The sands of time are too fine
Can’t keep them in an hourglass
Through the glass they pass

If a stitch in time saves nine
What about the tenth?
Are you going to save what’s mine
If so, at what length?

Can you save your life
Be immortality
Can you save your life
Be invincibility

LYRICS
Did you ever wonder:
How much more is in store?
Wake-up in the morning and walk out the door
How much more is in store?
I suppose I’m
A quantity of quality time

Did you ever wonder:
How much more you’ll endure?
Do you suppose time is measured, too?

With gravity I see we gravitate
From before to too late
As suggestion, a question:
Why would I want to wait?
Take advantage of having weight
Before the liquidation
Before we liquidate
Do you ask the question?

LYRICS
Something is happening
The brass ring
Within grasp…
At last
They say it’s a new beginning
Baby, we’re on our way
A free ride
On the carousel
Farewell
Worry died
(Good-bye darkside)

Life is strange
Riding on an ostrich
Modern age
Re-arrange
Going round and round and round
You’re found
On the carousel of life
Reside on the free side
No cost… no strife

LYRICS
Is your favorite color purple?
Then it’s really quite simple
Led my heart of red
To mix with the blues for you

Is your favorite color green?
I know just what you mean
Hello! I’m the fellow with yellow
To mix with the blues for you

Is your favorite color blue?
There’s really not much to do
The color is already true
It’s straight up blues for you

Chorus
Primarily primary scene
Primarily primary seen
Yellow, red, blue
Spirit, mind, body
See…
What’s made of you

LYRICS
The way you play the game
Is a bloody shame
Can’t punch through a wall after all

“If you throw the ball on the street
And your brother runs after it
He’s done for!”
He’s no more
So this summer…
You know… after all… to the beat
Of a different drummer
Of a different strummer
Of a different hummer

Bloody Shame.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG

Inspired by two encounters on the street:
One with a fellow that just punched a wall.
The other with a mother talking to her children.

LYRICS
I heard there’s a train leaving
Leaving for Freedom
Freedom, USA
What do you say
We try to find our way
Free of dumb in Freedom
USA

They say Freedom’s just a little way
Further down the line
They say we’ll get there…
Just a matter of time

I heard the last train’s leaving
Grieving for Freedom
Freedom, USA
What do you say
We find a way to stay
In the Freedom kingdom
Each and every day

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Where to begin when you’re whistling in the wind
You’ll find there’s no bind
When no one comes to mind

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is near to hear
If no one is around… did it really make a sound?

Can’t see the trees through the forest?
Then, perhaps it’s best
To find your kind mind
And, disregard the rest

Whistling In The Wind.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG

If you describe someone as whistling in the wind, you mean that they are trying unsuccessfully to change something which cannot be changed.

A song about following your dreams. If you dream of making music, let it be heard. If no one hears it, is it really music? Don’t worry what other people might think or say. “Do or do not. There is no try.” — Yoda

LYRICS
The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
An art critic from the New York Times
Says your “lines are mighty fine”

The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
At the very least a masterpiece
… like Picasso or Van Gogh
You know… Picasso or Van Gogh?

The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
The parallel symmetry
It really, really gets to me

I am thinking museum
Quality obviously
I can see clearly
Your name on the marquee

What a beautiful beauty full view
With the sky sky-blue
What a beautiful beauty full view
To enjoy with you

Seeing with ears
Hearing with heart
Wonder who hears Her calling your part
Touched by thought
No taste goes to waste
Can you taste fulfilling your part

Sure a beautiful… beauty full of you
With your love… love true through
Sure a beautiful… beauty full of you
To share the view

Soul so beautiful
Beauty full soul
See beauty being set free
Soul so beautiful
Beauty full soul

LYRICS
Which clothes did you choose
Does it impact how you lose
1st Amendment fashion statement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

Which rules did you choose
Does it impact how you lose
5th Amendment lack-of statement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

Which path did you choose
Does it impact singing blues
The pursuit of happiness
Paving the road to your bliss

Which constitution did you choose
Under the red, white and blue
The deferment of acknowledgement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

The people’s steeple
Is one under the sun
All inclusive
Belong to the club if you live
All the jive about being alive
Can all come true for you

The people’s steeple
None to soon will commune
Non-exclusive
Belong to the club if you live

Come on in to begin
Still elusive?
Not too late… start to live

The people’s steeple
Plenty of room to resume
Goin’ festive
Celebrate the fate “to live”
