The Dog Days

Posted on July 29, 2022July 30, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
Got the tail wag
And the smile tag
Lovin’ livin’ all day
The scent of air
Everywhere
Livin’ lovin’ today
Pick up your guitar and play
It isn’t that far away
[Bb guitar jam]

Wade in the shade
Of the life we’ve made
Lovin’ livin’ all day
A sign in the sky
Watch raptors fly by
Livin’ lovin’ today
Pick up your guitar and play
It isn’t that far away

With head held high
All knots untie
Lovin’ livin’ all day
We’ve come to know
We’re good to go
Livin’ lovin’ today
Pick up your guitar and play
It isn’t that far away

Shopaholic (Mass Consumption Blues)

Posted on July 28, 2022July 28, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
Are you ready to quit
Are you over it
Don’t you find it a bit
Obsolete
Or without it
Life’s incomplete
Totally addicted
To mass consumption
Complicated
And then sum/some
I’ve got the mass consumption blues
I’ve got the mass consumption blues
Don’t tell me my dues are due
The mass consumption blues
Totally addicted
Morally inflicted
Damnation
And then some/sum
Hang tough
More stuff!

Over the Moon

Posted on July 27, 2022July 27, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
Can you see us lying
… lying on a golden bed
The tears we’re crying
Over joys left unsaid
Over the moon
There’s a shining star
Piper resumes
The tune to take us far

Is there use trying
To resurrect the dead
Night be for crying
If we prevent instead
Over the moon
There’s a shining star
Piper resumes
The tune to take us far

In line of sight
Sight of the light at The End
With all our might
Fight to let our message send
Over the moon
There’s a shining star
Piper resumes
The tune to take us far

One Bright Light

Posted on July 27, 2022July 27, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
No matter how bright it was lit
Insisted on staring right into it
Now I can’t see a thing
Except one bright light
I look to the left of me
I look to the right
All I can see
Is one bright light

Starring the sun right in the eyes
Shouldn’t have come as a big surprise
Now I can’t see a thing
Except one bright light
I look to the left of me
I look to the right
All I can see
Is one bright light

Set my sight for the heart of the sun
Somehow my vision’s come undone
Now I can’t see a thing
Except one bright light
I look to the left of me
I look to the right
All I can see
Is one bright

Get Up

Posted on July 26, 2022July 26, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
Don’t let the get up let up
Can’t let the get up let up
Won’t let the get up let up
Till the get up gets up and goes
Regardless of the throws of the prose
Won’t let up on your get up
Till it goes
If it makes ’em dance
Doing Dos Y Dos
Do they hear the prose?
Ahhh who knows?
That’s why I…
Why I get up

The Lantern in the Shed

Posted on July 26, 2022July 26, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
I heard the news today
The newscaster did say,
“You can’t tame the flame.”
It’ll never be the same
She said:
Old Lady Leary
Left the lantern in the shed
I shook my head and said:
“I’m growing weary
Of knowing dead.”

On the news the next day
“Wildfires did have their way.”
You can’t tame the flame
We’ll never be the same

No knews / news in a big way
The flames dance on and play
You can’t tame the flame
She’s the master of our game

Al Gore Rhythm

Posted on July 25, 2022July 25, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
Was it this hot before?
’cause I don’t think I can take any more
Notice we’re on fire?
There’s no denying
Situation’s dire
(We’re on fire!
We’re on fire!)

Remember ole Al Gore?
Should’ve listened to him a little bit more
Call out a denier liar
’cause no denying
Situation’s dire
(We’re on fire!
Denier liar!)

Wonder what’s in store
If all the more we just ignore
Raise alerts higher
I ain’t denying
Situation’s dire
(Denier liar!
We’re on fire!
Alerts higher!)

In My Face

Posted on July 24, 2022July 24, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
How can you keep arguing
When all the truth is staring you
Right in the face
This time
This place
Right in my face
This time
Displace
The human race
Ruled this place
For a time
What a crime

How can you keep arguing
When all the truth is staring you
Right in the face
This time
This place
Right in my face
This time
Displace
In every place
They left a trace
Every time
What a crime

How can you keep arguing
When all the truth is staring you
Right in the face
This time
This place
Right in my face
This time
Displace
Mid all their waste
A bad taste
All the time
Such a crime

Such unnecessary
Death penalty
Right in the face
This time
This place
Right in my face
This time
Displace
Mid all their waste
A bad taste
All the time
Such a crime

Standing on Top of the World

Posted on July 23, 2022July 23, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
Standing on top of the world
Watching the future unfold
Past was present… now told
Another turn round
Another day old
Astound

Standing on top of the world
Watching the future unfold
Past was present… now told
360 degrees
Maintaining a hold
Thanks, gravity

Standing on top of the world
Watching the future unfold
Past was present… now told
Can’t wait to rotate
On living, I’m sold
Anticipate

Standing on top of the world
Watching the future unfold
Past was present… now told
On our axis spin
Low and behold
We’ll do it again
We’ll do it again!

Holdfast

Posted on July 22, 2022July 22, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
Holdfast
Having a hard time getting a grasp
Holdfast
Get an impression but will it last
All shall pass
Grains of sand
In an hourglass
All amass
Will / we’ll withstand
Until we pass

Outlast
The day ahead will be behind
Outlast
The wisemen said “of kind mind”
All shall pass
Grains of sand
In an hourglass
All amass
Will / we’ll withstand
Until we pass

Alas
Got what I came for and so much more
Alas
What came before can endure
All shall pass
Grains of sand
In an hourglass
All amass
Will / we’ll withstand
Until we pass

LYRICS
Hammers fall
Impacts all
Do you find it riveting
Resisting pivoting
After all
Hammers fall

Hammers fall
Impacts all
Is it unbelievable
We’re all so gullible
After all
Hammers fall

Hammers fall
Impacts all
Should’ve thought to think ahead
Beats a hammer on my head
After all
Hammers fall

Hammers fall
Impacts all
After all my id did
Who am I to kid?
After all
Hammers fall

Your Story

Posted on July 20, 2022July 20, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
Oh so sorry
To hear your story
Sounds just like mine
All was going fine
Till they ignore
Nothing more
They’ll defy you
Till you’ll implore
Maybe more
They’ll define you
And, me too

Are you leery
Of growing weary
Well so am I
And here is why
Till they ignore
Nothing more
They’ll defy you
Till you’ll implore
Maybe more
They’ll define you
What to do?

Come In

Posted on July 20, 2022July 20, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
You better come in
A storm is coming
You better come in
And take warning
Ride from hell
Ring the bell
Alarming
Pull out stops
From roof tops
I’m shouting

You better come in
You better come in
New norm is coming
By the morning
Ride from hell
Ring the bell
Alarming
Pull out stops
From roof tops
I’m shouting

You better come in
You better come in
Be born again
Isn’t happening
Ride from hell
Ring the bell
Alarming
Pull out stops
From roof tops
I’m shouting

Save the Universe

Posted on July 20, 2022July 20, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
Dealing with this
With this and that
Fighting like dogs
Like dogs and cats
Span the chasms
Calm the spasms
In the last chapter and verse
Save the universe

Fighting like dogs
Like dogs and cats
Bridging the gaps
Plotting the maps
Span the chasms
Calm the spasms
In the last chapter and verse
Save the universe

Fighting like dogs
Like dogs and cats
Making the road
Low on the load
Span the chasms
Calm the spasms
In the last chapter and verse
Save the universe

Double Time

Posted on July 19, 2022July 20, 2022 by admin

LYRICS
I wish I could
I know I should
Appreciate small talk
Or a walk in the park
Holding hands after dark
But I must concede
That’s not my speed
I’mmmm…
Into double time
Up the volume some
Come undone
Puzzle peace’s
Life’s leases

I wish I could
I know I should
Appreciate small things
Hearing wedding bells ring
Listening to choirs sing
But I must concede
That’s not my speed
I’mmmm…
Into double time
Up the volume some
Come undone
Puzzle peace’s
Life’s leases
