Show Your Face.mp3

LYRICS
No need to hide
Come on outside
Please give a taste
of showing your face
We’d love you to grace
Don’t let it go to waste
Will you come out and play
On such a beautiful day
We’ll show you the way
To a sunny foray
Wrestle with the sol
Wrestle with the sole soul
Set the control for heart of the sol/soul
Finding souls swimming in fish bowls

LYRICS
Better sit down
The wheels go round
Even if you can stand no longer
There’s the support of the stronger
As the wheels go round and round
May freedom found abound
As the wheels go round and round
Freedom ringing is the sound
Set yourself free
Upward mobility
The world you’ll see
Semi-dependently
We all need somebody
For an everybody
WE all are somebody
Part of everybody
Together we’ll weather
Going round and round
No matter “whatever”
With a smile it’s found
Riding a merry-go-round
Going round and round
As the wheels go round and round
May freedom found abound
As the wheels go round and round
Freedom ringing is the sound

LYRICS
Hey! How do you say “covfefe” (co-fev-ay)
A new pet peeve
How to convey…
How to relay…
Covfefe (cough-eve)
A hex perplex
Spewing diarrhea
Doi and dah
Outta the diaper
Into big boy pants
To die for
Literally
Do you see
He’s killing me
The twit tweets
Mistake repeats
Verbal defeats
Head of meats
It’ll be said, “meathead”

LYRICS
A view
A window on the world
What can I do
To make the colors bold
A view
Red, yellow, blue
The spectrum’s hue
Point-of-view
A view
Out of the dark
Into the new
Be the spark (new knew, a new anew)
A view
Help me to see
What can I do
To enlighten me
A view
Into the light
A view
Giving me sight
A view of you

LYRICS
Authorized personnel only
Wonder if they’re lonely?
What’s beyond the door
Are there any more?

Can it be realized
How to be authorized
Is there a center
For “do not enter”

What makes one special
Features that are facial
Does it all start
Examining the heart

Authorized personnel only
Must be simply lovely
What’s behind the door
Can any human endure?

LYRICS
We’ve got a war on cancer
The only problem…
The cancer’s in her
The war on the goblin
The issue at heart
Hard to tell them apart

Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

We’ve got a war on terror
The only error
The terror of terror
I just don’t know
Can we wage war on a shadow
Here we go
Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

We’ve got a war on war
We just can’t wait
Fighting hate with hate
The real debate
Can you hate hate?
Ahhh… it’s too late
Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

LYRICS
I read, “The late Alfred Doe”
Late? He’s really dead, though
Beyond tired…
Expired
Beyond past due
He’s through
I’ve got the future past life blues
When I die
Hope you stop by
n’ say “hi” and “good-bye”
When I die
Hope you stop by
Or at least try

I heard, “The late Jane Doe”
Late? At her rate…
Died in the fast lane, though
All horizontal
Open casket… full frontal
I’ve got the future past life blues

When they say I’m dead and gone
Sing that “Jolly Good Fellow” song
Any time of me you think
Raise your glass and toast a drink
I’ve got the future past life blues

LYRICS
Both sides of the head
Eyes
Both sides of the head
I’s
Do you see me
Beyond hypocrisy
Past the haze phase
A field of clarity
The future ways / weighs?
No need for charity
Present day daze
Past the vanity
Where the vast past
Fades to amaze
Can you see me
Bringing on infinity
No dividing by zero?
Know dividing by zero

ABOUT THE SONG
“Division by zero is undefined. Since any number multiplied by zero is zero, the expression 0/0 also has no defined value; when it is the form of a limit, it is an indeterminate form.”

What are you made of
Sugar and spice…
Sugar and spice and everything nice
What are you made of
Center filled twice…
Made of the twice the nice
What are you made of
Whole food soul food
Don’t mind you feeding my mind
Oh, so kind

Beginning feeling
Nourishing
Beginning seeing you’re nourishing

Made of love

Whole food soul food
Don’t mind you feeding my mind

Elevator up
Elevate emotions
Emotion elevation
Elevate your day

Going Up!
Going Up!

Above the clouds high
Nothing but blue sky
Above the clouds high
Swimming through blue

Elevator up
Elevate emotions
Emotion elevation
High road’s the way

Let your voice take wing
And like the birds sing
Why not give it a try
Spread your wings and fly

Do you enjoy soaring
Courage… lions roaring
No need for compromising
When everyone is rising

LYRICS
I saw a jigsaw
Puzzle
Fallen to pieces
Broken… old
New life leases
Put together
Escaping never
Trying to get the picture
To ensure we’ll endure
The art of the parts into a dream scene

I can’t wait to see what we’ll be
Our part in the heart of art
The puzzle’s solution
Our evolution

How long will we be together
Can it last forever and ever
Will someone start to pull us apart
Once they dismember will they remember
… will they begin to make us whole again?

LYRICS
The fading scene of the magazine
Once the scourge of the forest
Now it’s being put to rest
Soon I hope to see
The same thing happen to TV

Maybe we can learn to earn
The need to earn to learn
An appreciation for the acquisition
Of knowledge as privilege

Today and forever more
Banished to a waiting room
In the fading light of glory before
Parent of an empty womb

With any luck, reincarnated
Instead of to the garbage fated
Recycled to a new life form
A birthday to be reborn

The fading scene of the magazine
Once the scourge of the forest
Now it’s being put to rest
… think it’s best

Posted on by admin

Coversong originally made famous by The Beatles

“Yer Blues” is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, from their titular 1968 album The Beatles, also known as “The White Album”. Though credited to Lennon–McCartney, the song was written and composed by John Lennon during the Beatles’ retreat in Rishikesh, India.

The song is believed to be a satirical reference to white English boys trying to sing the blues.

        E                 E7+9
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
        A            E
Yes I'm lonely wanna die
   G
If I ain't dead already
B7                            E    A  E  B7
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
In the morning wanna die
In the evening wanna die
If I ain't dead already
Ooh girl you know the reason why.
E                         A E
My mother was of the sky
E                         A E
My father was of the earth
E                         A E
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth

I'm lonely (verse)
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely (verse)

Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Want to die
Yeah, want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why

LYRICS
I’m afraid to ask you
“What are you up to?”
So maybe just
A “How do you do?”
Do I really want to hear
’bout pain n’ sufferin’
Again and again
Oh, dear!
What’s going on here…
Pain n’ sufferin’

When I ask, “How are things going?
When I say, “How are you doing?”
Your reply, “Fine.”
Time after time
“Fine”
All of the time
Get a grip on my stiff upper lip
I’m feeling fine
At any rate, how about “great”?
I’m feeling fine

LYRICS
How long?
Then, when?
Will we right the wrong?
Welcome to the unknown zone

We’re sure we’re unsure
OF the suffering to endure
Gain the knowledge of pain
Or in bliss remain?

Welcome to the unknown zone
No help to cry. No help to moan.
Hoping I’m not alone
For the raising of the spirit
Ahhh… Want to hear it

A song that makes us smile
Been unknown for quite a while
No longer own the unknown
For I know it’s true:
I love you
Yes, I do
