Fooling With Mother Nature.mp3

LYRICS
Mother Nature is getting her act together
Looks like we’re in for some extreme weather
Better batten down the hatches
Check the locks and check the latches
The clouds foreshadowing doom
‘less corrective action is taken soon

Better of not fooling with Mother Nature
Just another man-made folly for sure
Amaze with a haze… the lines we blur
Bringing on the rapture is no cure
The clouds foreshadowing doom
‘less corrective action is taken soon

We had better think twice ’bout being nice
Skating on thin ice won’t suffice
Deadline is upon us… time to pay the price
Stork of midnight. Coach to pumpkin. Horses to mice.
The clouds foreshadowing doom
‘less corrective action is taken soon

As long as we keep hope in our scope

Cross my heart and hope to die
Start helping the alive thrive

Guiding toward what is right
Through the darkest night

Like a scent to hound dog
Seeking out the light
Peeking in the light

LYRICS
I thought I was winning the race
When I heard a voice say, “Pick up the pace!”

Are you aware
The turtle doesn’t always beat the hare
In fact, only one in a million beat him there

Time to put on the shoe and tie the lace
Keep the foot out of the mouth on my face
Time to pick up the pace

You invented the clock (tick-tock)
Now its slave, you work
The ship has left the dock
Spoon’s run away with the fork
Workin’ for the clock (tick-tock)

LYRICS
I know you’ve a long row to hoe
But, in the time seep the benefits you’ll reap

Invest our soul into what’s best
The rest will be easy
… just you wait and see

Before you know, it will start to grow
Magic-like leap into the light out of the deep

Before you know it, you’ll turn grey
Teeth fall out…. senses not felt… call it a day

In the meantime, play your hearts chime

I know it’s not right
But, I’m done with your fight
Not sure if I’ve seen the light
Perhaps blessed with second sight

Falling out of love

All your life trying to grow-up
Makes me want to throw-up

Falling out of love
Taking off the gloves
You could say I’m not gonna play
You could say that I’m on my way

Falling out of love

Quick like Isaac

Tangled up emotion
That’s staying in motion
Quick like Isaac
“An object in motion stays in….”

Some sort-of love potion
Accelerating motion

LYRICS
Do you find it hard to believe
The air’s not fit to breath
Do you find it spoils the fun
Stayin’ out of the sun

Can you please tell me, “What do you think of that?”
Can you please tell me, “Will you tip your hat?”

Do you hope they’ll relieve
… unwilling to receive
Do you pray someone will say,
“I’m here to save the day!”

Can you please tell me, “What do you think of that?”
Can you please tell me, “Will you tip your hat?”

Do you know what I mean about the rivers and streams
Waterfowl run afoul ain’t no “merrily dreams”

Can you please tell me, “What do you think of that?”
Can you please tell me, “Will you tip your hat?”

Take a moment and jump off the crust
Give your spirit a cosmic thrust
You know how they say “Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.”
For the mortal body is a must
The real life… for it I lust
Hitchhiker’s sign says, “Heaven or Bust!”
Gonna take a moment and jump off the crust
As soon as I feel a gust

As soon as I feel a gust
Gonna take a moment and jump off the crust

Take a moment and jump off the crust
Give your spirit a cosmic thrust
To begin, just stick your toe in

Next time I feel a gust
Gonna take a moment and jump off the crust

ABOUT THE SONG
This coversong was inspired by the rioting in Baltimore, MD. The people rising up against violence with violence seemed too ironic… too hypocritical. So, the rioters posing to be on TV made me think of this song (for they are The Beautiful People.)

LYRICS
All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution

Son, had you begun in Ferguson?
Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore

You can’t hate hate unless you partake
You can’t take part with what’s at stake
When you behave all irate… at any rate

There’s a moral lack when you strike back
At others not involved in your attack
Doesn’t matter whether they’re a shade of grey, white or black
It’s just a matter of fact
That ain’t no way to act

Is it any wonder they wanna put you in a cage
The way you behave all in a rage
You’re more likely to engage as a sage
Put a The End to that book… and look to a blank page

All this riotin’ and lootin’
Doin’ nothing but pollutin’
Your solution
Undermine your revolution

Watch the gore for sure in Baltimore?
No more! No more!

The bats are in the belfry
Toys are in the attic
Completely mystify me
With an attack so sick

Makes me wonder… what’s the matter with you
Did your intellect catch the flu
Are you the fly in the ointment
And are you the plague, too?

Is your humanity bill way past due?
