King Of The Jungle

Posted on August 9, 2013August 9, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
What makes you so certain
That we’re apt to adapt
Our evolving motion
Could very well snap

Still we forget nature is fragile
We regret we mature… yet gullible
Forgot to think all we extinct
Jack broke his crown… just ask Jill

Strange Days

Posted on August 9, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
These are some really strange days
Whether we messed-up the weather
In oh so many ways

It’s making me feel a bit see (sea) sick
Hard to believe it’s hard to breath
The air’s getting so thick

Strange how these are such strange days
Could you please help me… push RTZ (return to zero)
Phase us out of this complacent phase

Monkeys Pushing Buttons

Posted on August 9, 2013August 9, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
A rat in a maze
A cat in a cage
Not hard to amaze
So easily enrage

Just like a monkey pushing a button
Chain-gang bustin’ rock by the ton
Grooming each others fleece for fleas
Amazing we get anything done

8 Ball In The Pocket

Posted on July 26, 2013March 21, 2014 by admin

Songwriting While Shooting Pool in Plymouth Meeting

LYRICS
Rack ’em. Break ’em.
Let the balls roll
Whack ’em. Crack ’em.
Let the deal dole

No longer behind the eight ball any more
Check out all the angles to explore
Eyes popping from their sockets
Watching balls rolling into pockets

Chorus

There is so little to do with luck
Whether you bet the farm or just a buck
It’s more a matter to see geometry
Whether a straight shooter is what you’ll be

Chorus

Strike with just the right English
Weave yourself into the fabric’s mesh
Some happen to call it The Zen
As it happens to you, you’ll know when

Chorus

Dancing Off The Roof

Posted on July 23, 2013March 21, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

Might as well transpire
Our feat is on fire
Might as well transpire
Our feet are on fire

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

The sweat is dripping from my brow
Now, it pours from every pore

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

The “Hard Sun” is pounding down
… some more and some more

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

It’s not as though we’re aloof
Or your reality is just a spoof

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — E

The song is about putting a new roof on a house during a heat wave.

Off The Hook

Posted on July 22, 2013March 21, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Why would I sit… sit here and wait
Just to hesitate then gulp on your bait?

If you think being caught is what you’ve got
We’re here to tell you that it’s not
Off the hook. Close the book.
The End. A chance to live again

Something smells fishy. You know there’s something fishy
You know there’s something fishy going on (again)

Now that I’m free… I’ve been set free
I can tell you clearly what I can see
The hierarchy versus anarchy
Creates hypocrisy in the depths of our sea

Are you finding freedom to be elusive
Do you find the more they take… less they give

Or more like water pouring through a sieve

Fly In The Ointment

Posted on July 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
There’s a fly in the ointment
Without an appointment
Does anybody anywhere even care
There’s a fly in the ointment
Without an appointment
Is anybody aware

There’s a guy holding office
That’s a public disgrace
Does anybody want to save face
Give a try grasping this
Human rights aren’t hit or miss
Let us create some space

On the love feast dine?

Alpha Centauri Moments

The star closest to the sun -- Proxima Centauri — The star closest to the sun — Proxima Centauri

LYRICS
The definition of the Lord is the law
Who do you think you are
If you’d seen the things I saw
You’d say they crossed the line too far

Do you know the closest star?
Do you know where you are?
Do you know the next closest
Alpha Centauri moments

Starchild
Go wild
Starchild
Bewilder
Starchild
Go further

Do you know where you are? Our solar system doesn’t really have a name, so it’s a trick question. The second closest solar system is a bit more than 4 light years away, has 3 stars and is called Alpha Centauri. The closest Alpha Centauri star to us is called Proxima Centauri.

Edger Allan In The Poe

Songwriting at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, PA

Edger Allan In The Poe.mp3

LYRICS
chorus
There’s a movement of the people
You can not deny
Oh, my, my

And, it seems it’s starting to show
Tearing at the seams
As the people get into the know
You know what I mean?

Chorus

You dare not cross the line
Or, they’ll try to crack your spine
If you dare to raise a presence
The weight will crush ’till silence

Civil Unrest in the City of Brotherly Love

Chorus

Chorus reprise
There’s a movement toward a steeple
When the temple is the people
Try, try, try

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was/is inspired by N.A. Poe of Philadelphia’s TV show the Panic Hour. Though Poe was not allowed on Federal Ground, his presence was the essence.

Time

Posted on June 30, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
There was a time when time went tick tock
But, since… they’ve changed the meaning of clock
There was a time when Plymouth was a rock
Now freedom’s hogtied… gagged with a sock

Chorus
Can you really, really break free
And, freely be “me”
Can you wiggle into sanity
And, become totally

There was a time when they heard rhyme
But, since… they’ve changed the meaning of crime
There was a time when Goliath was giant
Now, wonder if you’re God’s client?

Lion Pig

Posted on June 30, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Who is afraid of the big, bad wolf
Meandering propaganda comes from his mouth
Who is afraid of the lion pig
With all that lyin’ his own grave he’ll dig

Chorus
You can huff… you can puff… but you can’t blow it down
When they judge the play, who’ll be the clown
You can huff… you can puff… no! You can’t blow it down
When they judge the play, who’ll wear the frown

Once upon a time there were three little bears
Into their den Goldilocks dares
Eating their porridge… sitting in their chairs
Until she’s caught in bed, nobody cares

Chorus

The Bigger They Come

Posted on June 29, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
The bigger they come the further they fall
Thinking that they’re above it all

Isn’t it about time for realization
Isn’t it time for a real celebration
Of a civil civil civilization

The meeker they come the further they’ll go
The promised land is coming or don’t you know?

Instead of spines without ration
Following passion’s latest fashion
From the highest peaks to the depths of the ocean

The bigger they come the further they fall
Thinking that they’re above it all
The meeker they come the further they’ll go
The promised land is coming or don’t you know?

Elixir

LYRICS
Pierce the skin with a needle prick
Take away the ills of feeling sick
Peace of mind… more than a mental trick
When growing old the physiology is thick

ick, ick, ick, ick

Mother’s little helper — quick
Forget another habit to quit
Feeling of relief — slick
Hot spot… I scream “Ice cream” lick

ick, ick, ick
