LYRICS
Pull your wisdom teeth
In disbelief
The numbness of dumbness and grief
On the verge of lost knowledge
Anoint the tipping point
On the verge
On the ledge
Violated pledge
Lost knowledge

Tickled funny-bone
Humor on loan
“Ain’t that funny zone”
Knowledge into swamp sludge
Stubborn… won’t budge
Bets you’d better hedge
On the ledge
Of lost knowledge
Wisdom dumb
Wisdom dumb wisdomdom
Land of “I don’t understand”
Wisdomdom dumbdumb

LYRICS
I heard an absurd dream
Oh Lord heard…
I mean seen an obscene dream
Scream into the mouth of your God
Screaming God into the mouth of your screaming God
When you gleam the scene
Made your God mad
Now your God’s mean
Times ahead could be worse than you’ve had
… could be lean
Our be-havior
Bad, bad, bad
Used your savior
Oh so sad
Out of saviors to save ours
Screaming God into the mouth of your screaming God
God, screaming God into the mouth of your screaming God
Screaming God into the mouth of your screaming God
If you’re dreaming please don’t share your night mare
No more

LYRICS
Can you ever really win a war
Does it always go a little too far
It always comes as a surprise
When it’s you that’s maimed or dies
The rules of engagement
In need of re-arrangement
War crime of all time
Needs to be owned as yours and mine

How can you prove you’re right
If it always ends in a fight
Remove your nose out of spite
Might not get right with all that might

When last is first, first is last
Surely, all things must pass
Life’s going by oh so fast
Energy — speed of light squared times your mass

Ole Folklore.mp3

LYRICS
Are you familiar with ‘ole folklore
About a dragon who thought she could soar
And live forever more
Forever more
See Her fly
Across the sky
Babies cry
Mothers sigh
Overdrive
She takes a dive
Got to strive
To stay alive
And live forever more

Not so cute and cuddly to adore
Breathing fire going into war
Live forever more

Reliving memories from the days before
Wondering if the dragon really did endure
And live forever more

Tales of dragons’ whimsical allure
Eye to the sky and see Her soar
The folklore lives forever more

LYRICS
Did we all forget the sun would set
On our neighborhood
Did we all forget the sun would set
We knew it would
Did we forget

Did we forget the sun would set
At the end of the day
Did we forget the sun would set
For the night make way
Did we forget

Did we forget the sun would set
It’s inevitable
Did we forget the sun would set
Can’t be gullible
Did we forget

Did we all forget the sun would set
Yet…
No surprise
In the morning it will rise
Solution met
No need to frown
When the sun goes down

Should I take notice
In the clouds above us
Nimbocumulus does surround us
Cumulonimbus
Nevertheless
When they drain
It’s going to rain

Take a look around
Leaves turned upside down
Flood warning… all could drown
Nimbocumulus does surround us
Cumulonimbus
Nevertheless
When they drain
It’s going to rain

Chance of lightning is really huge
Followed by hell’s deluge
Bring a change to attitude
Nimbocumulus does surround us
Cumulonimbus
Nevertheless
When they drain
It’s going to rain

LYRICS
I’m just saying
What kind of song are you playing
Something to make you sing
I’m just saying
What kind of song are you playing
A chance it’ll make you dance
The catchy hook
That’s not by the book
Then turnaround
That gets the rhythm down

I’m just suggesting
If you are requesting
Make it something I will sing
I’m just suggesting
If you are requesting
With a chance that I’ll dance
A chance it’ll make you dance
With a catchy hook
That’s not by the book
Then turnaround
That gets the rhythm down

Stop and take a picture
Capture for the future

ABOUT THE SONG
I started writing the song while sitting on the courthouse wall. A couple of people stopped and asked questions. So, I turned their queries into the lyrics. Then, when I was working on the music, two gals stopped in front of me… turned and started dancing as they took a selfie of us.

You want it. You got it.
Now you’re gonna get it
They gave it to you
Now, watcha gonna do?
Isolation nation
Isolationism I am
I’m pretty sure
That’s what I voted for

I ran a campaign
About all that I am
I really don’t give
A God damn
You’re lucky to live
Political satire?
Pathological liar
Too blatant
Rampant blatant
On fire

LYRICS
I’m in empathy with your company
Take me seriously… I’d love to explore
Let’s go back to my place
And we’ll taste it some more
Let’s go back to my place
Embrace a face-to-face
Or your place is fine… it will certainly do
It’s really up for your review
Let’s go back to your place
And we’ll taste it some more
Which came first chicken or egg
Your lips to mine or hand on your leg?
Why doesn’t the chicken cross the line
And quit wasting a mighty fine time
Let’s go back to our place
And we’ll taste it some more
I’d love to hear your spirit… love to hear it
I’d love to find your mind… one-of-a-kind
Find tranquility in you body… down to the core
… explore
… taste it some more

LYRICS
I’ve been here, and I’ve been there
Been about everywhere
But, it doesn’t get much better than this
Granted wish
It doesn’t get much better than this

I’ve been “woke-up”… been aware
Found loving people that really, really care
No, it doesn’t get much better than this
Granted wish
It doesn’t get much better than this

A just land and place that’s fair
Sure glad to have met you there
Yes, it doesn’t get much better than this
Granted wish
It doesn’t get much better than this

LYRICS
Don’t you think it’s time…
We see
The entire galaxy?
Beyond the closest star
Wanna go far
Gotta get out and explore some more
Take a picture for sure
Of a whole black hole

Don’t forget your rocket
With a digital input socket
Tunes wit a groove in the pocket
A roadtrip soundtrack to rock it!

ABOUT THE SONG
You can not really take a picture of a black hole. No light escapes from a black hole, so you won’t see anything. That is why it is called a black hole; however, theoretical astronomers have attempted to take the first picture of a black hole.

LYRICS
One moment lapses into another
Until the minutes start to take over
Day by day
Goes our way
Minute by minute turns to hours
Better take the time while it’s ours
Day by day
Goes our way
Passing hours turn light to night
As long as there’s tomorrow, our future’s bright
Day by day
Goes our way
Consider me lucky to accumulate years
And Father Time is still in arrears
Day by day
Goes our way
Blessed to outlive our fears
No regrets or tears if “The End” nears

LYRICS
Deaf and mute
Can no longer compute
Can’t dispute
Can know longer compute
Drop to my knees
Ask Her why
Pray tell, please
The thrill to kill must die

Blind brother
Can no longer see
Unkind other
Can no longer be

See, hear, speak
No malice nor evil
Serve the weak
Can know “longer” well
