LYRICS
The water was dripping
Changed state now is forming
An icing
Of icicles
Jack Frost is nipping
The temperature dipping
Sub-freezing
Gives chills
Zero and dropping
With no sign of stopping
Bone chilling
Icicles
Winter spectacles

LYRICS
Basically alkaline
Basic alkaloid
Filling the void
Basic acid
Acidic
If I did acid…
Like vinegar
Alkaloid I’d…
Basically if I…
Basic basically
If I enclose and expose
Enclose
If I enclose and expose
In tight quarters
And, expose them to each other
Creating the void
Alkaloid, basically
How long would it be
Be… before
They explode
The motherload
Explode
Bass an alkaloid

LYRICS
Pardon me,
I hate to interrupt
But, ya see
Please turn the distortion up
With passing years
Escalation of fear
I want to hear
Through distorted ear
Our solution
De-evolution
Through pollution
The irony
Of the social tyranny
Is killing me
The way we inflict our will
Shouts out kill, kill, kill!

LYRICS
Just sitting here
Deserve nothing
So thankful
For what you bring
Just living here
No title to nuttin’
So grateful
For what you bring
So go
In the soul
You know
So go
Overflow
The overflow
… so go with the flow

LYRICS
Don’t ever question it
This is the sh%$! ?
The territory of the authority
Derogatory in authenticity
The gullibility of the citizenry
The obscurity of civility
The ingenuity of humanity
Offering salvation from damnation

LYRICS
Parting of the seas disease
Do you think you can command God
You’re the boss and She’s on the job?
Oh please,
Parting of the seas disease
Are you sure
You wanna F&$% with Mother nature?
Are you really that special
That you’re the cure-all (for all the ill that ails)
Or just a spiritual sleaze
With parting of the seas disease

LYRICS
What are you waiting for?
If you wait much more
They’ll likely realize
You’ll lose the element of surprise
What are you waiting for?
If you wait much more
You’ll have missed the moment to seize
So, pleeeeeeeeeease
What are you waiting for?
If you wait much more
An activist
Will have turned pacifist
Lack of action
Due to procrastination

LYRICS
The way
The night turns to day
Day to night
Night to day
Dawn to dusk
The cycle of lust
Winter solstice
Summer solstice
Equinox
Sly as a fox
In the clothes of sheep
Lion… lamb
Do I know who I am?

LYRICS
Headed out
On a slippery slope
No doubt,
Going to need some hope
Less I look the dope
And, slide where there’s nowhere to hide
Get a hold… cope?
I already tried
Whether it’s decline or incline
I’m inclined
To decline
An invitation to devastation
Holding on tight
With all our might
Hold on long enough
No matter how tough
Everything will be alright

LYRICS
Leave them screaming for some more
Your neighbor
Next door
Your neighbor
Next door
Love thy neighbor
As thy self
Preserve self-wealth
Could be less fancy
Call yourself Nancy
Crowned Dog God
No matter how odd
Better off plowing
Where it’s been snowing
A path to peace
At the very least

LYRICS
The whiteness of the snow, ya know…
Tends to cover the blemish of disaster
Makes one less selfish with the laughter
Are you better off living life
Letting your hourglass sand sieve
Or, giving all you can give
Give of your soul
I want to hear your spirit
Let me hear it
Give of your sole
I want to here your spirit
Come on, here it!
In the sifting sands of man
Doing the best that you can
Forget being a stranger in a distant land
Bring forth your love for all to understand
The cover of the snow, ya know
Let’s the Earth’s spirit grow with glow

LYRICS
The ground underneath my feet
Crunches
If crutches are in your clutches
Won’t help like they could
When watching people clasping
Please help like we should
Instructed to be productive
And, with thy gifts give
Productive to the instructed
Long let quality live
ABOUT THIS SONG

This is a song about being productive… even when you’re unexpectedly shut-in… like in a snow storm… at the same time, giving consideration to the most vulnerable of your neighbors.
