The Door Part 6

Posted on August 3, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!

Ya know when you’re ready to go
It would be neighborly and nice
If you’d kindly please think twice
And, be one of those that knows
… to pull the door close

It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!

Forget about saving face
It’s time to close this case
Please be nice and think twice
And, be one of those that knows
… to pull the door close

It kind of helps if you open the before
Before! Once more! Before!

Hello!
Call each and every superhero
To the rescue

Friend, we have a foe
We need a superhero

Hello!
Lord, we need a miracle
Rapture spectacular

Mystical love Czar

Superhero rescue
Save “our” savior

Crazy (My Marbles)

Posted on August 3, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Are you crazy
Thinking hazy
Are you out of you mind?

Are you nuts
Brains in butts
To all of logic blind?

Oh my goodness the mental illness
A threat to all mankind
Oh my heavens growing misgivin’s
When rage is all you can find

Does your hatred explode
Grey matter overload
Anger mismanagement
… understatement
As the storm clouds loom
Crash! Bang! Boom!

For crying out loud
Nemesis follows Hubris
Dag nab it! You hellish habit
Ethics and morals amiss

Recording on the Brandywine in Lenape, PA

LYRICS
What goes around
Comes around
What goes around
Home is found

Better be careful who I push around
Gonna find out about dishing it out
Time will pass till Karma kicks my ass

Chorus

Better be mindful of where I’m bound
Takin’ in a lesson about taking it
Hold still! This might hurt a bit

Chorus

Better be thankful it wasn’t worse
Coulda ended up in the back of a hearse
Or the glue factory with the ‘ole horses

Chorus

LYRICS
Toss the baby into the air
Wondering if this life is fair
Ohhhh… I do believe I forgot my fudge
Order in the court. Here comes the Judge.

Toss a maybe our of despair
Is a response even there
Ohhhh… you won’t even budge
Order in the court. Here comes the Judge.

Toss a body into my car
Now you took it a lil’ too far
(siren sound)… bring on the badge
Order in the court. Here comes the Judge.

LYRICS
I…
Eyelashes

To ashes, bashes, clashes, crashes, dashes, flashes, rashes, slashes, smashes, splashes, thrashes, trashes… bring on the lashes

Apply the lashes to I
Now, I can see
Eyelashes
Self-destruction
Resurrection revolution

Time for introspection
If there’s to be a resurrection revolution
The solution
I lashes

Consequences Of….

LYRICS
Consequences of…
The impact of your impact
Essence of love
In fact, missing… at a lack

Social responsibility
Civic duty or duty-free?

Your right to rights
Doesn’t make your fight alright
All right?
Alright!

Consequences of…
The impact of your attack
Essence of love
If ever there, come back

All right?
It’s not alright

The Door Part 5

Posted on July 30, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! Once More! Before!

Chorus
It will be less hard on your head
If you listen to what I said
It’ll be a much better day
If you’ll just listen to what I say

Cut down on yelps by opening the door…
Before! Once More! Before!

Chorus

It’ll be less savage by taking advantage of the handle…
Less scandal

Chorus

I hear ya knockin’ but ya can’t come in

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

Much easier to pass through
A much wiser thing to do
Time to act your damn age
And minimize the damage

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

Listen to that slurred speech
You can barely stand on your feet
Not much of a reach
(To say) you’re destined for self defeat

It kind-of helps if you ope the door…
Before! For sure! Before!

It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! For sure! Before!
It kind of helps if you open the door…
Before! Once More! Before!

Won’t be as hard on your head
If you open the door instead
You won’t be “that guy” they’ll dread
If you use your head to open the door instead

Chorus

You won’t be going to bed
Wishing yourself dead
When all is done and said
Should have opened the door…
Using your head instead

Pendulum

Posted on July 30, 2014July 30, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Ummm… hmmmm
Sitting on a pendulum
The thing will swing
Sitting on a pendulum
Now, here’s the thing…

The scales of justice
Will balance
If the judge won’t get there first
The scales of justice
Will balance
Due process will quench Her thirst

Sitting on a pendulum
Do you feel the sting
Sitting on a pendulum
The hammer brings

The scales of justice
Will balance
No matter the fool’s outburst
The scales of justice
Will balance
Jurisprudence will end up first

Into your heart, it will impart a start

The Worlds Smallest Symphony

Posted on July 29, 2014July 29, 2014 by admin

Song Writing and Recording in Berks County, PA

LYRICS
A cricket plays the smallest symphony
Between his shin and his knee
In sympathy
Rub those legs feverously
In a party of pity

A butterfly claps its wings
As the chorus of song birds joins in and sings
“1,2,3… waaa”
Laughing at me not with me “hahaha”

Maybe it’s not too late
To get it straight
Maybe to get it right
Ain’t our of sight?

Hawkeye

Posted on July 29, 2014July 29, 2014 by admin

Song Writing and Recording in Schuylkill County, PA

LYRICS
With the eye of a hawk
She let out a squawk
With the speed of a jaguar
Set the liar on fire
… liar on fire

With the grace of a swan
She showed me the dawn
A situation that’s dire
She wants to set the liar on fire

Being stubborn like a mule
He insists on playing the fool
Thinking all will admire
A liar set on fire

This little piggy went to market
The piggy should have stayed home
This little piggy is out-of-pocket
Does the piggy need a loan?
