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

Treatment

Treat meant
I scream
Ice cream
Take cake
Candy
Treatment
I meant
Treat meant
Not to probe or poke
Nor resentment stoke
Treatment treat

May it be pain free
Void of annoyed
A pleasant event
Treatment
Treat treatment
Treat evident
Heaven sent
The kind kind-of treatment

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

LYRICS
Heads up! It’s coming right at ya
We don’t want to have to go crying to Ma
If we all can keep our eye on the ball
We might just get this right

Heads up! It’s headed right for you
We don’t want to have to tell Ma “it’s through”
If we all can keep our eye on the ball
We might just get this right

Heads up! It’s barreling at us
Don’t want to have to tell Ma “it’s ominous”
If we all can keep our eye on the ball
We might just get this right

Heads up! The ball is headed at us all
We might want to keep it in sight
If we all can keep our eye on the ball
We might just get this right

Now it’s time to play suspended
Time upended
Defying the law of gravity
Suspended for humanity

Now it’s time to play suspended
Time upended
Defying the law of gravity
Humanity for eternity
Humanity to infinity

In a mess of distress

LYRICS
Trying to pay attention so closely
To prosperity
Praying for attention to humanity
Hold us closely

Movement in the environment
Feel the shake of Earth’s quake
There’s a monsoon coming soon
That will reign over hate

Movement in the environment
Feel the shake of Earth’s quake
There’s a monsoon coming soon
That will cleanse our mistake

Movement in the environment
Feel the shake of Earth’s quake
There’s a monsoon coming soon
Dismissing rumors of fate

Surprise gave rise
To the unexpected
Surprise gave rise
To myths erected
Learned my lesson well
You never can tell
Straight up to heaven
Or right out of hell

Gateway to heaven

Come to realize
Our life’s prize
A birth on Earth
Is given heaven

Trying to choose the best words
To describe the flight of birds

To ensure the best picture
Flying… soaring… taking wing
Hovering over everything

Am I capable… am I able
To describe an upside glide

Trying to find a way to say

For me to count all the ways

Feel amateur at the prose

What’s all the buzz
About the fuzz
This heat is beat
Breeding defeat
Why don’t you just calm down
And take a look around
Stop! Look! Listen…

What if the pig
Learned how to jig
‘stead of dig

Why don’t you just calm down

To just a few

Of the good ones will do
Why don’t you just calm down
And take a look around
Stop! Look! Listen…

LYRICS
Thought about it once
Thought about it twice
The thought might be nice
To begin to think again
Thought there was a chance
They’d let us dance
It really is no sin… to begin
When the band begins to play
It doesn’t matter what they say
When the band begins to play
We’re going to dance anyway
Hey! What are you doing
… begin to think again
Now that I’ve thought it through
I know just what to do
Grab your hand and dance with you

LYRICS
The ice caps are melting
Nor’easterner’s whipping
While methane is leaking
Mother Nature’s weeping
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Look deep in the core
CO2… so much more
Man’s destruction of the land
I just don’t understand
Watching species die
You know the reason why

I suspect all the insects
Will out live the vertebrae

Wanted! The global warming suspects
Will man ever see the day
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Does anybody care
About saving the tree
What about the world we share
Or is it only me?
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Deep In The Core.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about Donald Trump pulling out of the Paris Climate Change agreement and our impact on global warming. Music inspired by John Lennon’s Yer Blues:
Want to die
If I ain’t dead already

Still transpire
We’ll all retire
Fire, fire, fire
