LYRICS
Spring, sprang, sprung
Spring’s come undone
In yet another bummer
Forget about the summer
Just around the bend
Drawing to it’s end

Spring, sprang, sprung
Better make amends
For the Fall
The time of all times
Is going down, down, down
Just around the bend
Drawing to it’s end

Spring, sprang, sprung
Another year older
Another grade higher
As seasons get colder
Watching time transpire
Just around the bend
Drawing to it’s end

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’ve been thinking
Thinking about who I am
I’ve been thinking
Thinking ’bout where I’ve been
Did they mention
’bout reincarnation
… get to do it again?
All along the blind are leading
With crucifixes bleeding
(All along
Hymn, their song)

I’ve been thinking
Thinking about who I am
I’ve been thinking
Thinking ’bout where I’ve been
How ’bout salvation
n’ goin’ to heaven
… see immortality?
All along the blind are leading
With crucifixes bleeding
(All along
Hymn, their song)

I’ve been thinking
Thinking about who I am
I’ve been thinking
Thinking ’bout where I’ve been
I keep hearin’ people sayin’
“I’ve been born again”
Well then, what next?
Perplexed
All along the blind are leading
With crucifixes bleeding
(All along
Hymn, their song)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
I get that urge I’ve got to satisfy
Can’t satisfy no matter how I try
Am I choosing to die…
… and taking you, too?

Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
I guess you’d call it urge overkill
Immaturity in the skill
To discipline within
… and with you, too
Weeeeee

Hold back, hold back
Ability’s awful lean
I just can’t seem…
… to…
Hold back, hold back
That dark cloud that always looms
Consume, consume, consume
It’s clear for me to see
… me and you, too — we
Weeeeee

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Taking baby steps
OK, maybe when you were young
Now you’re in your depths
The fat lady’s already sung
All you options run
The future’s come undone
We arrived long ago
Or didn’t you know
Yes, been there
Unaware?

Taking giant steps
Got to make up for lost time
Past time to have leapt
From taking part in the climate crime
All you options run
The future’s come undone
We arrived long ago
Or didn’t you know
Yes, been there
Unaware?

Being in her shoes
Seem there’s quite a lot to lose?
Time has come to choose
The “should haves” or the do’s?
All you options run
The future’s come undone
We arrived long ago
Or didn’t you know
Yes, been there
Unaware?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
My momma has a first name
She took my daddy’s last
They brought me in to the big game
With a net to cast
Let’s see what I can catch
Maybe a dream or two
And an idea ready to hatch
Pull them into view

My momma has a first name
She took my daddy’s last
Life will never be the same
Having given me the grasp
Let’s see what I can catch
Maybe a dream or two
And an idea ready to hatch
Pull them into view

My daddy has a first name
My momma took his last
Don’t want to give it more fame
Just add what life goes past
Let’s see what I can catch
Maybe a dream or two
And an idea ready to hatch
Pull them into view

LYRICS
Think quick with wit
Make the best of it
Next bit
Won’t quit
Makin’ the best of it
Sometimes, it’s hard to tell
Other times, it’s just as well
So then, ’till when
Makin’ the best of it

Say yes with less
The least is hassleless
Just feast for more
For folklore to endure
Sometimes, it’s hard to tell
Other times, it’s just as well
So then, ’till when
Makin’ the most for more

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s coming right at us
I can see it coming
Too late to cry
Too late to fuss
Better off running
Look to the sky
Even the birds can’t fly
… can’t find their way home
What once was dry
Kiss it good-bye
Bye-bye
… be gone in the foam
(Can’t find my way home)

The eye of the storm
Looking us in the I’s
Today’s new norm
In yesterday lies
Look to the sky
Even the birds can’t fly
… can’t find their way home
What once was dry
Kiss it good-bye
Bye-bye
… be gone in the foam
(Can’t find my way home)

I said it was coming
Now that it’s here
Thunder and lightning
Clear it gets frightening
Look to the sky
Even the birds can’t fly
… can’t find their way home
What once was dry
Kiss it good-bye
Bye-bye
… be gone in the foam
(Can’t find my way home)

LYRICS
Going out on a limb
Going to stretch who I am
Might need to catch
Where I’ve been
Going out on a limb
Will you catch me if I fall
Knowing out on a limb
The creek will be the call

Going way, way out
Going to fetch who I am
Might learn about
Where I’ve been
Going out on a limb
Will you catch me if I fall
Knowing out on a limb
The creek will be the call

LYRICS
Why don’t you go
Right ahead and say what you mean
I’d love to know
What gleam there is to glean
All of your passion
Rapped up verbally
Wrapped in your fashion
Compassion nobley
So sweet you speak naturally
A sweet refreshing treat

Now that I know
In your head just what you mean
We’ve got to go
Surreal in the serene
All of your passion
Rapped up verbally
Wrapped in your fashion
Compassion nobley
So sweet you speak naturally
A sweet refreshing treat

You’re the wet dreams
Happening in my genes
In a turning of the tide
Saw the sky open wide
Water, well…
It’s hard to tell
If it’ll be
How it’s ever been
… again

While in route caught a drought
About to find out… about
Water, well…
It’s hard to tell
If it’ll ever be
How it’s been … again
It’s hard to tell
If we’ll ever see
If we’ll ever be
Where we’ve been… again

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Out of your cage… was it self-made?
About your rage… think it will fade?
Does the further away you roam
The distance put to your home
Impact the way you fell
About what’s real
Feel real
Real feel
Feel real
Feel free to join hands
Across all the lands
Everyone understands
Everyone can see
A peace / piece
Of love
In harmony

Didn’t you know… you’re free to go
Why so slow… on with the show
Does the further away you roam
The distance put to your home
Impact the way you fell
About what’s real
Feel real
Real feel
Feel real
Feel free to join hands
Across all the lands
Everyone understands
Everyone can see
A peace / piece
Of love
In harmony

Out on your own… fell alone?
Isn’t Earth everyone’s home?
Does the further away you roam
The distance put to your home
Impact the way you fell
About what’s real
Feel real
Real feel
Feel real
Feel free to join hands
Across all the lands
Everyone understands
Everyone can see
A peace / piece
Of love
In harmony

LYRICS
Can you ask her
If she has a dulcimer?
Can you ask him
If he can hum a hymn?
Everyone’s welcome
To come join in
We can spend all day
On the porch and play
Wadda ya say?
Come on out on the porch
And play
Come on out and play
Anyway
Come on out on the porch
Today
Come on out and play
Any way

My rhythm’s a lil’ lean
Do you have a tambourine?
If I had my choice
I’d love to add your voice
Sing it again
Everyone’s welcome
To come join in
We can spend all day
On the porch and play
Wadda ya say?
Come on out on the porch
And play

Shake your assets
Give ’em a shake
See if it’ll take
Shake your assets
Give ’em a shake
See what they’ll take

The higher the tide
The lower you ride
Talkin’ saline
Know what I mean?
Feel the Earth move
Under my feet
To the beat
