Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Did you hear that sound
Underfoot
Uh oh! Must’ve stepped in it
Hate to look and see what’s found
Uh oh! Hate stepping in shhhhh…
Wait!
Better hold my tongue
’till my nose gets done
And that last step is undone
Yeah, the misdone is undone
So there’s no misstep regret
Noooo… no need to fret

LYRICS
Just fooling around?
Better off quieting down
Listen to the words
Understand the sound
And, everything will be…
Alright
(All is found)
And, everything will be…
Alright
Once your ears hear
Insight
… everything will be….

Try n’ be the clown?
Better off quieting down
Dying children
Ain’t no fooling around
Better off quieting down
Listen to the words
Understand the sound
And, everything will be…
Alright
(All is found)
And, everything will be…
Alright
Once your ears hear
Insight
… everything will be….

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Far wide ocean
Large sea
When compared to me
The tide rolls in
High tide
Magnified
My position

Big, big mountain
I see
The valley in me
The tide rolls in
High tide
Magnified
My position

Forever sky
All the stars
Compared to where we are
The tide rolls in
High tide
Magnified
My position

bookmark_borderSeeing the Being

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The human in humanity
Seems to have lost her soul
The human in humanity
Self has taken its toll
Damned if you do
Damned if you don’t
But what if it’s you
That says you won’t?

the humane in humanity
Seems to have missed her goal
The humane in humanity
Flushed down the bowl
Damned if you do
Damned if you don’t
But what if it’s you
That says you won’t?

I’m seeing the beings
Seem to have lost their minds
I’m seeing the beings
Have forgotten how to be kind
Damned if you do
Damned if you don’t
But what if it’s you
That says you won’t?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When I think of teaberry pink
Surrounded in forest green
My mouth starts to water
Mountain water drink
Oasis I think
Miracle mirage
Chewing sassafras root
Avoiding eye-of-newt
If you don’t know…
… can’t explain
Think… flowing mountain water
Drink…
Think… an Oh! Aaa’s Is
For your soul
Take a mouthful
Much sought after
Mountain water

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Good day, Ma’am
May I lend you a hand?
Hold the door for you
It’s the least I could do
Come to understand
Man be damned
First you want some
Then you want none
The lack of chivalry blues
Got you

My fair lady
Please after you
To safety first
Or quenched thirst
Come to understand
Man be damned
First you want some
Then you want none
The lack of chivalry blues
Got you

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Way beyond absurd
What I heard
Far beyond bizarre
Where we are
Why don’t we pick up the pieces
Start it over again
Why don’t we pick up our peaces
Let’s discover begin

Should we try to fix
Show me your tricks
Maybe we can mend
S.O.S. send
Why don’t we pick up the pieces
Start it over again
Why don’t we pick up our peaces
Let’s discover begin

Don’t you find it odd
Oh, my God!
Quite severely twisted
Knotted and fisted
Why don’t we pick up the pieces
Start it over again
Why don’t we pick up our peaces
Let’s discover begin

LYRICS
Upping the ante
I’m starting to see
Upping the ante
With a card hidden
Up the sleeve
I’m finding it
A little hard to believe
I’ll see you
And, raise you tow, too

Upping the ante
I’m starting to see
Upping the ante
Finding it a little hard
Seeing how you play your cards
I’ll see you
And, raise to you, too

bookmark_borderYou Bet Your Life

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You want to bet your life
You only go round once
Well, my mamma told me
“Don’t be a dunce”
The only way you get to go round twice
Is by being nice

Still want to bet your life
You’ve but one life to live
Well, my mamma told me
“Depends what you give”
The only way you get to go round twice
Is by being nice

Who wants to bet their life
That there’s nothing more
Well, my mamma told me
“Open the door”
The only way you get to go round twice
Is by being nice

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The Headless Horseman
The Grim Reaper, too
What make you think
They’re coming after you?
Maybe they’ve got better things to do
Than chasing down the likes of me and you?

A vampire, Boogie Man
A skeleton or two
What make you think
They’re coming after you?
Maybe they’ve got better things to do
Than chasing down the likes of me and you?

A werewolf, hatchet hand
Or voodoo guru
What make you think
They’re coming after you?
Maybe they’ve got better things to do
Than chasing down the likes of me and you?

LYRICS
Please pay no mind to me
I’m happy left to be…
Me
I don’t need to bleed
Concede, nor rumor feed

Please pay no mind to me
I’m happy left to be…

No money, seriously
Pure greed doesn’t interest me

Please pay no mind to me
I’m happy left to be…
Me
No game seeking fame
No pose, I suppose

LYRICS
Amazed at the different ways
Amused how I get confused
Always seems to make my days/daze
Well used
Waste not want not
Motion won’t rot
Give it a shot

Amazed at the different ways
Amused how I get confused
Always seems to make my days/daze
Well used
Waste not want not
Gave it a shot
Thanks a whole lot

Amazed at the different ways
Amused how I get confused
Always seems to make my days/daze
Well used
Spending the time
Harmony and rhyme
Knowing that I’m…
Amazed, amused all my days

bookmark_borderWord Diet

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I have trouble digesting
When it comes to my own words
Is this karma suggesting
I fall on my own sword?
Couldn’t you just die
For the taste of humble pie
Please add some “I scream”
In the à la Mode of a dream

I’ll be careful what I say
It’s not worth the price to pay
Humor’s on the run
While I try to bite my tongue
Couldn’t you just die
For the taste of humble pie
Please add some “I scream”
In the à la Mode of a dream

Having fed the cat my tongue
Appears my time is done
To find the words to say
Pleas have a pleasant day
Couldn’t you just die
For the taste of humble pie
Please add some “I scream”
In the à la Mode of a dream
