LYRICS
It’s a little slippery
A fine line
Between (the seen/scene)
Myself, I and me
Slippery
I see
On the back of an envelope
Slope
Slippery slope
As easy
As A + B
Double dared… squared
E = em… I see
E = mc2
Now, I see
Time/space continuum reality
Now, on the curve
Too late to survive?
The chaos within us
Slippery… I see

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The was light
The night was dark
On a lark
Thought I might
Have come down to Earth
Home of my birth

World spinning round
Ain’t slowing down
Hard to tell
If she’s doing well
Have come down to Earth
Home of my birth

Hand of man
Does all he can
TO get his thrill
From “Kill, kill, kill!”
Have come down to Earth
Home of my birth

Mother Earth
Please forgive
For we know not
What we did
Have come down to Earth
Home of my birth

LYRICS
I was about to say
That canine of mine
But maybe
It’s the other way
Around
Who found who?
Tell me true
I love you
Who found who?

A better friend than any man can
Never run and hide
Always by my side
Wanna go for a ride?
Who found who?
Tell me true
I love you
Who found who?

I’m told
It’s a dog eat dog world
How bold
They scold
Yet fulfill the roll
Who found who?
Tell me true
I love you
Who found who?

LYRICS
No castle walls nor cannon balls
Invade the space
Of freedom’s place
No king reigns over (Be the lover)
Freedom rains down (On our town)
Discover minds blown (Seeds sown)
Inner peace release
The last is first (Quenched thirst)
Meek inherit the Earth (New birth)
In the eyes of skies
The glorious “why’s”
Absorb the wise

LYRICS
Is this really what we’re talking about
So, if, and or but…
What about about?
If we should be
If we would be
If we could be
Talking about… “about”?
Is that what we’re really talking about?
Did I get lost?
Am I at a loss?
Is this what we discuss? Thus…
Or am I at a loss, dazed and confused
Brain abused?
All this time I thought it was obvious
For the both of us

LYRICS
Avoid getting lost
Avoid at all cost
Roaming ’round all day
Trying to find my way
Out of zone into roam
Finally found my way home

Hate going astray
Nursery rhyme and pray
Avoid the panic
It’ll make ya sick
In the zone how to hone
Finally found my way home

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Toss of a coin
You pro or con
Flip of the coin
Head and/or tails
I’m setting sail
To a place where there’s space
For the human race

I don’t want hate encroaching
On the habitat
Please the favor of approaching
Love, imagine that

Through a dense forest
A jungle at best
Don’t want to have to claw
Don’t want to have to gnaw
Tooth and bone, let alone
When you get to the heart of the heart
Feel free to start….

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How come?
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
Were sitting on a fence
Tweedle Dee fell off… hence
Dumb was founded
Dumbfounded abounded
It seems to me
Tweedle Dee’s destiny — one with Humpty Dumpty

All the King’s horses
And all the King’s men
All the King’s horses
Know where men have been
All the King’s horses
And all the King’s men
No never put together again
No never put together
No matter the “whether”
… never
Free dumb’s brain forever restrained
Banned from this land wrought with free thought

LYRICS
I don’t know if i’m starting to get it
If you help me out, I’ll give you the credit

What goes around comes around
I guess I’ll wait/weight
A heavy burden
Anticipate
What is certain

I don’t know if i’m starting to get it
If you help me out, I’ll give you the credit
Back to the wall
Hammer will fall
Carry the wait/weight
A heavy burden
Anticipate
What is certain

I don’t know if i’m starting to get it
If you help me out, I’ll give you the credit
Seven year itch
Karma’s a bitch
wait/weight
A heavy burden
Anticipate
What is certain

Only one rule to hang with me
Everybody’s got to be free
Eternally
To infinity

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Marching in the name of time
Because you know
Time marches on
As you were
Turns to blur
At ease, please
’cause I reckon
Time marches on
Knowing…
… it just keeps going
Rowing…
… I dream…
Gently down the stream
… down
… gently, I dream
Through the rapids
I did
Hitting…
Rapid eye movement
Where the marching time went
Spent
Sent

LYRICS
Into the fire
… looking into the fire
Does time transpire
When you look fire
… in the eye?
The devil’s ire
When you look fire
… in the eye
Belligerence aroused
Espoused to be exposed
I suppose

Into the fire
… looking into the fire
Fan flames higher?
Hubris is dire
Is that your desire?
Belligerence aroused
Espoused to be exposed
I suppose

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You might say that you told me
I don’t recall you ever showed me?
It’s sure that you talk a lot
Even if you don’t about
Go ahead and scream and shout!
What strikes a lightning rod?
Oh, my God!
Maybe it’s best
If you put it to rest

You sure know how to scold me
Sign, seal and fold me
You sure do boast a lot
About what you know not
What strikes a lightning rod?
Oh, my God!
Maybe it’s best
If you put it to rest

LYRICS
Making sense of it all
Beyond the crystal ball
The jigsaw saw
The cut-up awe
Puzzle pieces
Mystery ceases
Ain’t it clever
How they come together?

In retrospect
I do suspect
Puzzle pieces
Mystery ceases
Ain’t it clever
How they come together?

Come take a gnaw
Eat logic raw
Puzzle pieces
Mystery ceases
Ain’t it clever
How they come together?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Doing the dance
Along the circumference
Of the circle of life
Don’t know where to begin
Then, again
Don’t know where to end
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows

Doing the dance
Along the circumference
Of the circle of life
Keep it low on strife
Keep it high ’round the bend
Don’t know where to begin
Then, again
Don’t know where to end
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows

Searching for the part
Where does it start
Getting a little skittish
’bout finding the finish
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows
