See Shanty

Posted on August 4, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
We’ve been a long time at see
Searchin’ for the land of the free
Then, it finally came to me…
In the presence of intelligence
Be

Can you feel the peace
Hear the harmony
Adrenaline release
Near ecstasy

We’ve been a long time at see
Sailin’ from The End to begin
That’s when it came to me
In the presence of the essence
Be

Chorus

We’ve been a long time at see
Wailin’ to God for mercy
Then, much to Her fancy
It came to be

Chorus

Where Do We Go From Here?

Songwriting In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

LYRICS
Where do we go from here
Now that we know what we know
Do you fear or hold dear
The blow of the flow?

All of a sudden the vision is crystal clear
Not a burden of mission… more a seers sear

Are we about to find out
Emergency exit only
Are we about to find doubt
Or the spirit holy?

Chorus

Will the tide roll out
Will the tide roll in
Will we scream and shout
Will we hold it in

(It’ll be no surprise
If you burn through with your I’s)

LYRICS
When it comes to opinion
You’re not alone
Asshole per minion
Head fulla bone

Chorus
Long term consequence
Not left up to chance
Long term consequence
Written in stone

An object in motion is in motion
No, you can’t hold the phone
Time your emotion grabs the notion
We’re in a humanity zone

Chorus

When it comes to an option
Why piss and moan?
Worn turn evolution
Butterfly flown

The Door Part 3

Posted on July 25, 2014July 25, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

Much easier to pass through
A much wiser thing to do
Time to act your damn age
And minimize the damage

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

Listen to that slurred speech
You can barely stand on your feet
Not much of a reach
(To say) you’re destined for self defeat

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

Sitting by the river
Watching the water roll by

Something about when you say “Philadelphia”
The spirit moves ya

Of erasing dismay

On Our Way Home

Posted on May 8, 2014May 8, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Live from KingArthur.com with an important public service announcement:

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of you fine citizens out there in TV-land…
Don’t forget to tip the bartender
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses

I’d like to tip the waitresses
… I’d like to tip the waitresseses
For making us tipsy
A tip for making us tipsy

If you just showed up
Raise a cup
Here’s what’s up
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses
A tip for getting us tipsy

Now, I think I’ll walk home….
Maybe… if it’s not an inconvenience I’ll just sleep on your couch. I could sleep on the floor… you don’t need to worry… I’ll lock the door… on my out.
I could lock up?

Raise a cup
A tip to the waitresses

Don’t forget the bartender
Yeah, that’s a hard job… listening to all of our wine… ya know… we go into such detail… blah, blah, blah….

Posted on May 6, 2014May 6, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
The Delaware is running high
Thanks to the banks
For keeping us dry

While on the other side, the well runs dry
While where the well runs dry they cry,
“Is salvation hiding nearby?”

Flanks of the ranks
Make trying a try
While on the other side, Fat Cats — big, fat & wide

First Amendment Monument

Posted on May 5, 2014May 5, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
When you start to wine, wail n’ preach
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech

Chorus
If you’re going to talk the talk
Better make sure you can walk the walk
To get what we teach to reach
(2) To get what we seek in deep
What we seek to sink in deep

Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
When we start to find, sail n’ then some
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come

LYRICS
Another sea shanty that goes like this
If you’re full of vinegar and of piss
Then, come along for a ride on the high sees

Chorus
On a sea so green
Under a sky so blue
Understand what mean does mean
And how truth hold true

Stow the mizzen mast
Swab the poop deck
Storm ain’t gonna pass
Don’t wanna shipwreck

Chorus

What do you say we stowaway
For a ride on the high sees!

Songwriting at the 1st Amendment Monument Under the Eye of Authority

LYRICS
You can’t smoke
You can’t drink
They’re passing a law — you can’t think

You can’t toke
Doesn’t oppression stink?
Placing the last straw
You can’t even blink

Chorus
America!
Home of the free and brave?
America!
Or are we now the slave?

The bloated bloke
Greased palm and a wink
Causing a flaw
And more than one kink

Chorus

LYRICS
Start everyone shoutin’
At the Love Fountain
Throw a penny if you wish
Certainly can’t miss
May the dream come true
For you

To get to know the flow
Meet me at Love Park
Before it gets dark

Time to stop all the lootin’
With our atmospheric pollutin’
Stand up if you care
Share you’re aware
Truth is more than just a dream
It’s the dream supreme

To get to know the flow
Meet me at Love Park
Before it gets dark
