Living On The Moon

Posted on October 20, 2014October 21, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Would you consider me a loon
If I insist we’re living on the moon
Can’t I see that’s lunacy?
Yet we won’t believe in reality

The Earth’s getting hot, hot, hot
Before you know it, we’ll be not
It’s not surprising
The temperatures rising
Is all logic forgot?
What kind-of ticket have we bought

Time we take some giant steps
To our balance there are checks
Yup, giant steps are what we take
If we could only awake
Yup, giant steps are what we take
Leaps and bounds from the fake

Dirty Deed Done Sideways

Posted on October 20, 2014October 20, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Sexual intercourse of course
Always done sideways
In the earliest of days
Square-dance style
All the while

Go for a fling and swing….

Swing your partner round and round
Until the genitalia are found
Cheese grater grip on your appendage
May require a bandage

So, listen…
Three hundred and eighty million years ago
They didn’t know
About the creation of the missionary position
There was a trick to guide the slide
Then, giddy-up for the ride

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Em7 Esus4 Em

144 Beats Per Minute / Country

Inspired by this news story:

First act of sexual intercourse ‘was done sideways, square-dance style’

Fossilised features of antiarch fish suggest that early intercourse was not the smoothest of affairs, with males faced with the task of steering their bony L-shaped organs between twin genital plates that adorned the females like tiny cheese graters.

The male’s organ was nearly as long as his body and fixed rigid, leading paleontologists to finally work out that the creature’s small, jointed arm-like appendages were probably of help in achieving the correct position.“Fundamentally, they could not have done it in the missionary position,” said John Long, professor of palaeontology at Flinders University in Adelaide. “The very first act of copulation was done sideways, square-dance style.”

Copulation

Posted on October 20, 2014October 20, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
A copulation population explosion
Policed by the copulation cop
You better not get caught
Who’s on top?

Naughty to be naked? Not.
We’re born with what we got

A copulation population induction
Irrational about reproduction
Going to great strides to hide our hide
Thin skin over exposed skin

Naughty to be naked? Not.
We’re born with what we got

A copulation population revolution
Going to turn the bed on it’s head
Tired of being told what we ought
Time to stand up for laying down… let the fight be fought

Naughty to be naked? Not.
We’re born with what we got

Wear Aware

Posted on October 16, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
[If I’ve become aware to care… we’re wear aware]

It was in the presence

In the presence of the effervescence

Once I became aware
That you were there
It wasn’t just me
I could see
Once I became aware
You were there
How could I not care?

I had to care
Once I was aware

LYRICS
Are you in a trance
A… an hypnotic circumstance?
R U are you R U are you, “eh” “aye” “ay” “ah” “ahye”
and me as we

Takin’ a second glance
And by chance
I get to relish
The part I embellish
That point in time when I’m
No where near the selfish

Attention Siren

Posted on October 13, 2014October 14, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

“General Population reporting for duty, Sir.
From my naivety you may infer!”

If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

Not on my leg using your urine
Not through some giant money siphon
More like firin’ up the horizon
The enlighten siren

Sirens of silence
Falling on deaf ears
Sirens of silence
Playing out our fears

If we could sound some sort-of siren
An alarm for attention
To the general population

Not the ice that’s crashing into the sea
Not the smog foggin’ up what I see
Not ozone in the wind a blowin’
Not ebola in the gut growin’
You’d think these would all make a fine sign
Nooooo… we pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
We’re taking the free trial of denial for certain

Sirens of silence
Falling on deaf ears
Sirens of silence
Playing out our fears

Just calm your ass down?
Calm YOUR ass down

Don’t-cha think it’s be better
If we were all the class clown?

Let it be shown you’ve grown
Won’t let this opportunity be blown
Be the driver… know where you’re goin’

Ebola Outbreak

Posted on October 11, 2014October 12, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
How could this be?
I can’t believe what I see
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t believe what I see
I am bleeding from my I’s
War, poverty, disease… no more please

Oh my goodness, dear
I fear what it is I hear
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t believe what I hear
It’s the politicians that I fear
War, poverty, disease… no more please

This social disease is beat
I’ve gotta get off my seat
Must be some sort-of Ebola outbreak
Hemorrhaging from every orifice
Suffice to say
Don’t know how much I can take
Disturbing in every way
I can’t let these events pass
I am bleeding from my…
But,
[The elected orifice officials chime in “but, but, but”]
War, poverty, disease… no more please

Out-rageous
Out-of-control
Outbreak

The Bully

Posted on October 11, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
You want to talk about the bully?
The fact of the matter is… there is no bully
No Boogie Man
’cause there’s no such thing as the Boogie Man

No Boogie Man

Is he underneath your bed
Or is he just in your head

Gotta stand up
Is he underneath your bed
Or is he just in your head
You can make him dead
Be the bully of the Boogie Man

There ain’t no such thing as a bully
There ain’t no such thing as a Boogie Man
Don’t be afraid of the dark
Just be the spark
Set the world alight
Alright!

If you thought
Thought not
Been the victim of a bully?
I don’t suggest you become him
But, I’m… I am….
That you….

[Stomp on the
Don’t Tread On Me]

Victim
The less of him

I? It’s justified

Care To Dance

Posted on October 11, 2014October 11, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Should I go over there and ask her to dance
Take that chance?

Don’t want to come off as some jerk that wants to twerk
Why? I don’t want to be that guy
Want to be next to you in shinning armor
(Maybe even arm in arm… or….)

Should I take a chance and ask her to dance?

Not gonna hassle by asking to hustle
Not even to do the bump
(Might be going to far if we bump rumps)

Should I take a chance and ask her to dance?
Should I go over there and say do you care…
To dance

Would don’t need to slow dance
We don’t need to go that far
We can just get into our own space
And understand at most… just hold a hand

Should I take that chance
Go over there and ask her to dance
“Do you care to dance
I thought I saw you cast a glance
Would you care to dance?”

Should I go over there
(Instead of sitting here with a blank stare)

Ode to Legend Of A Mind

Posted on October 6, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
They use to tune in, turn on
Find out about dropping out
Of the rat race

What’s your case to partake in the rat race?

The movers and shaker
Tend to be the fakers
Not to say we shouldn’t set the pace
Not dead… looking in from outer space

Train your brain for the haze of the maze
Much to our surprise we have x-ray eyes
I can see right through
And, you can, too
X-ray I’s

Shimmering

LYRICS
Is that right?
I see a shimmering light
As though reflected from the rippling surface off the water of life
Don’t let the surface tension cause strife
Just go with the flow…? Even the water doesn’t know
It just babbles away
Listen to what you say

Alright! Bring on the shimmering light
