LYRICS
I would like to thank you for keeping me good company
A solid body with a slender neck
More than I could ever expect
In spite of my psyche… if I’m a wreck
You talk back with the proper respect

When we’re in tune
We can croon
In sweet, sweet harmony
When held just right
We can play all night
Just like an angelic symphony

Pennsylvania
Penn’s sylvania
Who knew what the new
William’s wood would become
From the forest let it come

Can’t you see?
Don’t step on me!
Let’s be free
Don’t tread on me!

Don’t mistake
A rattlesnake
For a fake…
Or, fang intake

LYRICS
When you’re in a jam… in a fix
Goin’ with gut… not intuit sick
Go to where the intuit’s thick

Better think of something quick
Yeah, ya gotta think of something quick

At both ends… burning the wick
Gonna teach an old dog a new trick

In the throws of the narrows
Dire straights… irate pride swallows

Get into it
Get intuit

LYRICS
Are you tired of time expired?
No worries… more where that came from
What’s done is done
Twist and wrung. Can’t be undone

Are you weary of the leery?
No worries… gently pound the drum
Kingdom Come’s come
The Book tells… lost or won

Are you happy for the lovely
The jollies and frolics of journey
Before the gurney
In search of our elusive query

What?
You think there’s no such thing as a bad cop?
Stop!

I’ve got (k)news for you
There’s more than 1 or 2
Be a killer cop killer, too

Kill the lies
Kill the pain
Kill the innuendos you’re insane

You’ve made the sighting
Strike like lightning
Wild fire burn out-of-control
Applied to the troll

What shall we do
When they come for you?

Anti-Santa Claus? Reverse up the flue?
Don’t wanna be that horse stuck in glue

Too late for a special clause
Way too late to stop and pause

Time to fly or die

LYRICS
You look at me with that fly eye
I wonder what you see
When you look at me through that fly eye
Is your soul wishing to be free

Chorus
Of all the things
You’re the one with wings
See what flight it brings
At any rate
Reincarnate
With a love more ornate

The bird with worm
Evil-eye storm
Or affection being born?
I realize my eye’s on you
Better hope my heart is true

LYRICS
Lying on your back reading a book
Hoping for the introspective look
But you seem to forget… neglect…
You’re about to hang out

Letting it all hang out

Stand on your head
Face turning red
Didn’t know you’re so tall
’till your shirt started to fall
You seem to forget… neglect…
You’re about to hang out

Letting it all hang out

All the King’s horses and all the King’s men…
Couldn’t put ’em back together again

LYRICS
Full moon. Friday on thirteen.
Ghouls and goon fill spaces in-between
Bloom the loon. Dream scene.
Danger does loom for the human being?

Groom baboon. Pick ticks till you’re clean
With the spoon… the dish has not been seen
The cow’s jumpin’ over the moon
None to soon… knowin’ what I mean

Trial balloon. Superstitiousness obscene
Play the tune. Play it mean and lean
Oh, I see it’s myth and fantasy
Bloom the loon… Dream the scene

Honey moon is your honeymoon over
Or just finding a four-leaf clover?

Underdog pops a power pill
Going into overdrive
Still, the energy pill
Can’t kill all the evil
Wickedest antagonist spill

Dr. Simon Bar Sinister overkill

Try to make Sweet Polly Purebred dead
And, this shoeshine boy turns to alter ego hero

Underdog pops a power pill
Going into overdrive… help keep hope alive
Speed of lightning
Power of thunder
Righting all
With a glimpse of wonder

Strive to keep hope alive!

LYRICS
Starlog: in a fog
In the midst of a mist
Stardate: a twist of fate
Time to clear the mind of the unkind
Let no fear come to mind

In the midst of a mist
Clarity of charity missed
Time we find a way to kind

For the angry… for the pissed
Please consider this
How ya gonna get happiness to coexist?

Better off to assist
Take it off your waiting list
Step up and enlist

Love to get Her in a tryst
Clear the head of “resist”
Get Her in a love tryst
(Out of the midst of this mist)

LYRICS
You thought that one day you’d save
It’s just one day closer to your grave
I hope it’s not a grave… mistake

Mama told you… you had to learn how to behave
And you’re just step… one step closer to your grave
… one day closer to your grave

(Jam)

Do you want to be on the lathe
Everyday a little more shave, shave, shave
As you get one day closer to your grave
Could be a grave mistake

Think that you want to save, save, save, save
Save the day?
One step closer to your grave
So what?
Don’t let it drive you nuts

One day closer
One day closer to your….

(Bass Jam)

Less you become your own slave
You’ve only got so many days to behave
And you’re the slave of how you behave
You’re just one day closer to your grave
One day closer… to your grave
Don’t let it be a grave mistake
Don’t let your life… don’t let it take, take, take
Your life away
Livin’ every day
No regret that it’s closer
Never forget one day closer
To your grave
It would be a grave mistake

Open to the skies.. gone is the wait of the light

The beauty in all you do
Will find its way through
You needn’t think it odd
Under the omniscient eye (I) of God

When I close my mind, I feel the weight of the world
Open up my mind… gone is the wait of the world

When I close my mouth, the plight of the meek’s unheard
Open up my mouth… shed light… meek be heard!
