bookmark_borderThe Love Above

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Why don’t we climb above
And shine on love
Why don’t we climb above
And shout out “Love!”
Did your heart go missing
Or breakdown hissing
Do you want to know the best fix
An elixir to do the trick of tricks

Why don’t we climb above
And shout out “Love!”
Why don’t we climb above
And shine on love
Did your heart go missing
Or breakdown hissing
Do you want to know the best fix
An elixir to do the trick of tricks

Why don’t we climb above
And shine on love

bookmark_borderGet Back on That Horse

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The old man looked me in the I
And said, “Boy, you better give it another try.”
Get back on that horse and ride

Old man on my shoulder taps
“Pull yourself up by the bootstraps.”
It’s time to swallow your pride
Get back on that horse and ride

Old man’s funeral hard to grasp
Honor him by playing taps
Born again in angel skin
Thanks to him I tried and tried
To get back on that horse and ride
Got back on my horse and road
Thanks for lightening the load
To get back on that horse and ride
… see you on the other side

Do it again
How much more
Must we endure?

bookmark_borderLeft Alone

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I was left here all alone
So won’t you please take me home
Left by the curbside
Challenged to live or die
Would you give me a ride?
Probably just a station or two
Do you think it’s something you could do?
all my life I’ve been living for this
Praying for just one last kiss

I was left here all alone
So won’t you please take me home
Left by the curbside
Challenged to live or die
Would you give me a ride?
Probably just a station or two
Do you think it’s something you could do?
Maybe a stop or two, too
Do you think it’s something you could do?
all my life I’ve been living for this
Praying for just one last kiss

LYRICS
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Your light is showing me
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Your light is showering me
Shine on, you crazy diamond
A sparkling jewel lets me see
Your brilliance sets us free
Significance is daily
Relevance of “to be”
Set us free

Shine on, you crazy diamond
Your light is showing me
Shine on, you crazy diamond
A sparkling jewel lets me see
Your intelligence sets harmony
The difference in the key
Resonance tonality
Set us free

Shine on, you crazy diamond
Your light is showing me
Shine on, you crazy diamond
A sparkling jewel lets me see
Our circumstance in company
Can we balance empathy
A resemblance to deity
Set ’em free

Shine on your crazy diamonds
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Your light is showing me
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Your light is showering me

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I see what is coming over me
The essence of infinity
I’m quite amazed at the purple haze
The Wizard of Oz
Is it all staged
Our numbered days
Do gods have the odds?

I see what is coming over me
Resistance to mortality
I’m quite amazed at the purple haze
The Wizard of Oz
Is it all staged
Our numbered days
Do gods have the odds?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Who wants to go for a ride?
A glide… slide…
On a surface like glass
As objects in motion pass
So, fast
Solid, liquid, gasssss
And you find you’re not alone
In the twilight zone
Yes, you’ve found you’re new home
In the twilight zone

Who wants to come on a ride
Inside
Outside
Reach critical mass
As objects in motion pass
So, fast
Solid, liquid, gasssss
And you find you’re not alone
In the twilight zone
Yes, you’ve found you’re new home
In the twilight zone

At it again
See they’re at it again
Always has… it’s been
No small coincidence
The incidents’ alignment
And time and space is where and when what’s meant

Always has… it’s been
No, not by accident

The incidents’ alignment
And time and space is where and when what’s meant

Careful you don’t get washed out

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Does it tickle your fancy
Get your panties in knots
Did they bribe you with candy
To forget the “have not’s”
Coming fact-to-face
With a fact’s a fact
Get back
One thing for sure
It’s human nature
To attack

Does it ruffle your feathers
Taking candy from babies
Do you think truth is whether
It depends on maybe’s
Coming fact-to-face
With a fact’s a fact
Get back
One thing for sure
It’s human nature
To attack
