LYRICS
I’m talking damage
Damage!
Damn age damage

I’m talking damage you could not believe
I’m talking damage you could not conceive

Sandy getting sandy
Gonna show her wrath
Sandy ain’t so handy
Gotta take her bath

I’m talking damage
Damage!

Songwriting Under the Boardwalk in Atlantic City

LYRICS
There’s a wind blowing in
Off of the sea
And, it’s blowing me
Away… hey, hey!

There’s a wind blowing in
Off of the sea
It’s talking to me
Hear it say….

There’s an escape we can take
You know… we can go below…
We can talk
Under the boardwalk

We’ll ascend… blowing up
Down by the sea
Yup, we’re blowing up
And, away… hey!

Where there’s a wind
Blowin’ in
Up against the skin
Listen to the voice within
Hey, hey! Blown away

Writing the Song An Ole Salt in West Chester, Pennsylvania

LYRICS
We can weather
Weather any storm
We can prosper
Rise above the alarm

We can see
Returning to the sea
Or, rather
The sea returns to us?

From the sea
The contents of us…
Be
Let’s gather
Celebrate humanity
… we can be glorious

Mostly, H2O
A dash of salt
Built with know

Let us play
Sing and dance the day away

 

ABOUT THIS SONG
Em
Em / Am / D / G
reprise A / D / G

Written and recorded on May 19, 2012 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It is a song about what humans are made of… including the ghost in the machine. Approximately 70 percent of the human body is made up of water. Our waste is mostly salt water. However, there is that part we call the soul. While I was writing the song, three children climbed up onto the pedestal of the statue and commenced to do a wild jig. That was exactly the ghost in the machine I was trying to describe.
