Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I know why I ask why
’cause I wonder why blue’s the sky
… blue’s the sky
How long is a light year
The dark… anything to fear
Who knows relativity of gravity
Believe me,
Friction ain’t no fiction
Brings me down to earth
Ever since this earthly birth

I know why I ask why
’cause I wonder why blue’s the sky
… blue’s the sky
How far is the closest star
Said sun one and done
When I’m one in time
Believing Friction ain’t no fiction
Brings me down to earth
Ever since this earthly birth

[Bringing you down
Traveling round
Our star… it’s not that far]

LYRICS
She suggests
But, I digress….

She suggests
A little finesse
But, I’m so confused
How can the blues be bliss?
So, tell me this
How can the blues be bliss?
What’d I miss
Miss,
You suggest
A little finesse?

She suggests
But, I digress….

LYRICS
When confronted with puzzles and problems
Scratch my head… go to work and try n’ solve ’em
There’s an answer
Waiting right there
A solution
Evolution
If, then
And or
Logic’s in store
If there’s more
Then think again
And, we’ll be sowing
A solution evolution

bookmark_borderStraight-up Fiction

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I don’t know about any of that
Straight-up fiction
There’s no matter of fact
Saying you “own it”
‘s not quite accurate
… at any rate….
If the devil’s in the details
Then what are your credentials?
If you notion’s built on solid rock
Why not walk-the-walk
… instead of talk…
Talk-the-talk, talk, talk, talk?

Reflects my depths insight

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It took a while to sink in
But now I’m ready… begin
I’m alive
Why not thrive?

Since then I started thinking
You mean I’m really in skin?
It took a while to sink in
But now I’m ready… begin

I’m alive
Why not thrive?

Before my skin is wearing thin
Guess it’s time that I begin
I’m alive
Why not thrive?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Some Samurai tried to testify
Earn his wings
Sword wielding non-yielding
Sort-of thing
Some died to testify
Earn his wings
Tryin’ to justify
If he’s flyin’
Or if he’s dyin’

Taking on the King of Prussia
Earn his wings
Going nuclear
Putin’s Russia
Sword wielding non-yielding
Sort-of thing
Some died to testify
Earn his wings
Tryin’ to justify
If he’s flyin’
Or if he’s dyin’

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Agreed in deed
Encroach warp speed
Eye popping
No stopping
Jam dropping feed
No fool with fuel
Going to make it last
Slingshot orbit
Will go past fast
Now we’re wailing
Solar sailing

Most often found
That the Earth is bound
To come round
Run round and round and round and round the sun
Come to know the star of the show
And, go!

bookmark_borderConsider

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Out of the blue
Into the fire
Carefully consider
What to desire
Do I wish that I was rich
Or never got sick
The rich are to die for
And, well…
The well can go to hell?
There’s more

Out of the blue
Into the fire
Carefully consider
What to desire
Do I wish for fortune and fame
My life will never be the same
My life will never… will forever…
Be insane

Out of the blue
Into the fire
Carefully consider
What to desire
Do I wish for love and a wife
Too soon doomed to a destiny of strife
Do I wish to always be well
Well, all I’s die
… some go to hell

LYRICS
Wait till we see what’s in store
Like nothing we’ve seen before?
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

Wait till we see what’s to be
Like something we’ve yet to see
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

Wait till we get the meaning
Habitat needs cleaning
Mountains are moving… seas rising
Nonetheless, surprising
Terra’s uprising
Shakes all belief
Terra’s uprising
A natural relief

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Have you ever seen…
Ever been part of that scene
Have you ever been
And now once again
Have you ever been
Scene
Ever been
Ever seen
Ever been seen/scene

If a tree falls
And no one’s there to hear it
Can the forest be seen
Through the fallen trees
Questions such as these
A sound
If no one’s around
Questions such as these
If nature calls
And no one’s here to hear it
Can it be serene?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Get up and go
While the getting is good
If you don’t know
You probably should
’cause the tides coming in
And the waves are moving
Perhaps it’s a clue
Maybe we should, too?

Get up and go
While the getting is good
If you don’t know
You probably should
’cause the wind is blowing
And the trees are falling
Perhaps it’s a clue
Before we do, too?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Under sky of blue
How ’bout you
Are you feeling blue?
Here is something
To get you through —
Dab of yellow will do
You’ll be the envy of the scene
Turning green
If you know what I mean?

Over sea of blue
How ’bout you
Are you feeling blue?
Here is something
To get you through —
Dab of yellow will do
You’ll be the envy of the scene
Turning green
If you know what I mean?

On planet of blue
How ’bout you
Are you feeling blue?
Here is something
To get you through —
Dab of yellow will do
You’ll be the envy of the scene
Turning green
If you know what I mean?

I can see myself in you
From where I cam

LYRICS
winds are blowing
Clouds are building
Knowing…
There’ll be no eluding
Thunder’s clapping
Lightning’s striking
Tapping…
My inner Viking
When they bury me
Flaming at sea
All on shore shall see
All are sure to see

Rain is whipping
Reign is whipping
Knowing there’ll be no eluding
Hail is pounding
Hail astounding
Sounding my inner Viking
When they bury me
Flaming at sea
All on shore shall see
All are sure to see
