bookmark_borderRelatively Relativity

LYRICS
Relatively relativity
To mistake the physics
With the philosophy
Could wind up in havoc
Subjective to being
I’m time…
… space… continuum… I am
Ummm, um, um

Relatively relativity
To mistake the physics
With the philosophy
Could wind up being drastic
Point-of-view to seeing
I’m time…
… space… continuum… I am
Ummm, um, um

Therefore, I think… I think
Therefore, I am
In a space race
Time continuum

bookmark_borderTaking the Long Way Home

LYRICS
Not in any hurry
Done with the work for a while
No need to scurry
Relax into a style
Taking the long way home
Making the song go long

Not in a real big rush
Done with work for the day
Need more than first blush
Determine what is the way
Taking the long way home
Making the song go long

What’s with the skedaddle
Going to shake loose for a while
Already won the battle
Time to dial into a style
Taking the long way home
Making the song go long

bookmark_borderPhotosynthesis

LYRICS
When the sun hits the skin
… soaks in
Let the photosynthesis
… begin
I can see the light
Shining in you
Your glow growing bright
Warm inner view

As the rays find their way
… get in
Let the photosynthesis
… begin
I can see the light
Shining in you
Your glow growing bright
Warm inner view

Out from behind a cloud
… again
The photosynthesis
… is

LYRICS
None worse for the wear?
Still handle with care
Sensitive aware
I’m a human, too
Got feelings just like you
Hold true

Well, no harm no foul?
Still might get a growl
Cool it for a while
I’m a human, too
Got feelings just like you
Hold true

Is it no big deal
Making a man kneel?
Sensitivity’s real
I’m a human, too
Got feelings just like you
Hold true

Since I’m already here
Want me to get you one?
Not sure you can hear
Want me to get you one?
Our bounty is plenty
As far as the eye can see
And plenty our bounty
As long as the I can be

Not sure you can hear
Want me to get you one?

As far as the “I” can see
Dreams can be any
Whatever we want can be

bookmark_borderShe Won’t Look Back

LYRICS
While growing older
I’m learning a fact of time
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
Times growing bolder
Refusing to heed my whine
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
She’s making funny faces
Moves fast… leaves no traces
Should be clockwise round n’ round
But, she wins the race
Hands down

As I grow older
Figured a fact of time
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
Times growing bolder
Refusing to heed my whine
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
She’s making funny faces
Moves fast… leaves no traces
Should be clockwise round n’ round
But, she wins the race
Hands down

Now that I’m older
Embody the fact of time
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
Times growing bolder
Refusing to heed my whine
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
She’s making funny faces
Moves fast… leaves no traces
Should be clockwise round n’ round
But, she wins the race
Hands down

LYRICS
If you haven’t found what you’re looking for
Keep looking
Go round in the sound
Find out “who I am”
Take it up from down
Tighten up the unwound

If in the jam you haven’t jelled
Keep cooking
Go round in the sound
Find out “who I am”
Take it up from down
Tighten up the unwound

If in the song the groove goes wrong
Keep hooking
Go round in the sound
Find out “who I am”
Take it up from down
Tighten up the unwound

LYRICS
What are they giving away
On the surface today?
Might have to land
To come to understand
There there’s fresh air
True hearts to bare

What are they giving away
On the surface today?
Dig out of the sand
To come to understand
There’s mother’s milk
Art of any ilk

What are they giving away
On the surface today?
Free to join the band
Offer a hand
We’ll breath fresh air
Give and take… we’ll share

LYRICS
They take what they can take
Say it’s baked in the cake
Sin-a-men Roll
Between a rock and a rock
Time does take it’s toll
Can’t can’t reset the clock
The moral of rock-n-roll

Come on in and have a cigar
We’re going to bake who you are
Sin-a-man roll
Sin-a-men roll
Between a rock and a rock
Time does take it’s toll
Can’t can’t reset the clock
The moral of rock-n-roll

Twice baked handshake
Midas touch a bit too much
Between a rock and a rock
Time does take it’s toll
Can’t can’t reset the clock
The moral of rock-n-roll

Can’t be chic
A refreshing peek
No need to harm anyone
IN the human race we run
Chip on the shoulder

A natural treat
IN the human race we run
Chip on the shoulder

Chip on the shoulder
Finger in the I
Pass on by with a wave and a high

Climbing up
Need a safety strap
All the courage
You can tap
It’s not the fall
That hurts at all
It’s when it’s done…
To make the pieces number one

Flying high
Need a safety belt
All the courage
Ever felt
It’s not the fall
That hurts at all
It’s when it’s done…
To make the pieces number one

Out of here
All the courage
You manage
It’s not the fall
That hurts at all
It’s when it’s done…
To make the pieces number one
