LYRICS
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
The shuttle has lifted off
Told ya so those who scoff

The bird in flight
Despite your spite
Soaring through the blue
Eagle has landed
Godspeed… through the night
Flying through to you

No need for you to check your nail
No need for you to check your mail
You wear your soul on the outside
Wearin’ it on your sleeve… can’t hide

LYRICS
Better not take it for granted
Better not take it for granite
If your view on the world is slanted
Turn you rants into ranted

Building this rock on solid rock
On rock, rock on

It ain’t fine if you wanna wine all the time
For goodness sake! Give more than you take!
Time to hide the pride
… take a soul ride

LYRICS
Passing through the time
Headed down stream to the future
Floating on the dream, I’m….
And then further….

Part of the clockworks of the machine
This cog is turning the hands
Giving aura to the scene
Of the hourglass’ sands

The tick-tock of the clock
Watching nature mature
The talk talk turns to squawk
Wondering will our species endure

Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
Stepped into a sweatbee factory
The hornet’s nest… you’ve made a mess

Throwing that rock
… and roll
Into the rock-n-roll

Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
The ripple from the stone you throw
Has an impact… or don’t you know?

Hey! What’s the matter
You muddy up the water?
Now the fish have gone away
How’re gonna eat today?

LYRICS
Did you ever wish you could be a fish
And, get that fisheye point-of-view
Have you?

Have you ever thought of being a hawk
Soaring above this 3rd world rock
Nice view

Expanding your view… can you?

Have you thought of being a dragonfly
To hover… you needn’t even try
It’s true

Expanding view… you, too

Have you ever considered being a tree
On a river’s bank… roots set free
Let’s see
Have you?

Nice view… it’s true

aka Lenape Way

LYRICS
Sitting on the bank of the Brandywine
On a day oh so fine
Watching the water flow by me
Wondering how long ’till it gets to the sea?

Floating a dream on the Brandywine
Setting sail at the pace of a snail
Drifting through our modern time
Wondering if the passing past will rain reign again

On the 7th day of the 7th month
Heading to the mouth… of the bay
Oh what a fine, fine hot summer day
On the magical mystical Lenape way

LYRICS
After the rain
There’s no pain
After the rain
There’s no pain
Won with one
One with won
In an ionization nation

The pain reliever
As long as I will receive Her

After The Rain.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Capo 1
C Em
D A Em

A song about ionization. Negative ions are called anions. Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that are inhaled in abundance under certain conditions — such as while taking a shower or after a thunderstorm. When you breath them in, your mood is boosted and your pain reduced.

If you play like you should
You know you’ll be good
If you say that you would
You’ll rock the neighborhood

The people will stand. The people will stare.
Amazed that you are really there
The people will clap. The people will yell.
Oh, yeah! Then, you’ll be able to tell

All the can’s can. There’ll be no cant’s

LYRICS
The other day, a friend called and asked about getting a cowboy hat….

Headed to Virginia for a cowboy hat
If I can’t secure it, ain’t coming back
Going to Virginia for a cowboy hat
Pennsylvania, I love ya
But, that is that

Put a cap on it before I lose my head
Let’s rap this up and put it to bed

Said, Head to Virginia don’t come back
’till you acquire a cowboy hat
Pennsylvania, see ya… though where ever I may roam
Don’t you know you’re always going to be my home
