LYRICS
It’s a slippery slope
And we’re already sliding
A very slippery slope

Lay on the sleigh
Head on the sled
Going to slide
Pick our ride

It’s a slippery slope
And we’re already sliding
Rather be wrecking
Or gliding?
Can’t wait for skates
Currently curling
Looks like I’m going to ride
On my backside

It’s a very slippery slope
And we’re already sliding
We’re already sliding

LYRICS
You know
It’s cold enough to snow
But will it add up?
You know
The north winds do blow
But will it add up?

Accumulation
Of frozen precipitation
Accumulation
Winter’s anticipation

Confront
The arrival of a cold front
But will it add up?
Storm warning
Temperature’s freezing
But will it add up?

Accumulation
Of frozen precipitation
Accumulation
Winter’s anticipation

LYRICS
No better place for me to be
There’s nothing I’d rather do
Then spend Christmas with you
A Christmas true

And that would be alright
If our Christmas was all white
And that would be OK
Riding on a dashing sleigh

The present of your presence
The essence of your present
Is the Christmas spirit
Can you feel it?

Chorus

Hey, hey, hey
Ho, ho, ho
Let’s get up and to
To the Christmas show

Chorus

Bundle and snuggle tight
As we glide into the night
While we go through the snow
Ho, ho, ho

Chorus

LYRICS
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Wasn’t looking for trouble
It sounds like trouble
Hate to burst your bubble

It ain’t that novel
Now I gotta shovel
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Don’t want to grovel from the curse of the devil

It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Scrapping the knuckle
Bustin’ a muscle
Taking a pummel in this struggle
Ain’t no subtle shovel
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep
Getting deep, deep, deep….

LYRICS
The dark of night
Gets coated in white
Covered like a blanket
Coming down… down blanket
Comforter
Will you comfort her?

Black of night
Covered in white

Turns the bright on the night
I can see
Intensity
It’s coming down
Like a blanket
It’s coming down
Coming down
Cover it
Thick and deep

It’s coming down
Thick and deep
Let’s hope our lives… we can keep

LYRICS
Soundcheck — “Blizzard”

Starts off with… talking about a lizard
A lizard blizzard

Lizard
Lizard grew
Lizard grew and grows and grew and grows into a dragon
Zilla God Zilla God Zilla Godzilla
King of the lizard

There was a squall
This squall said after all
I want to be tall
I want to be a tall
I want to be a tall tale
(tail of the wind… tale of the wind… )
I want to be the king of the storms
I want to blow hard
And not be a blowhard
The king of the storm
Cause to raise the alarm

King of the storm
The blizzard

The 100 year blizzard
A 500 year blizzard
The king of the storm
Enough to cause alarm
A state of emergency
See! Emergency!

The storm of the dragon
Blizzard
The king of the storm
As is the king of the lizard
The king of the storm
Blizzard

Sustained wind(s)
Blowin’
Visibility — snowblind
Visibility zero
Temperature subzero
(Climate unkind)
King of the storm
Blizzard
The blizzard

(I beg for some milk and an egg… I beg)

Oh! No!
Wouldn’t you know
There’s no snow
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near here
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near hear
Christmas cheer on holiday
Wouldn’t you say?

The leaves fell down
Still no snow on the ground
None to be found
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near here
Christmas cheer’s on holiday this year
No cheer near hear
Christmas cheer on holiday
Wouldn’t you say?

Advent did begin
December moves in
Still it’s not snowin’

Hard to believe
Approaching Christmas Eve
Pray “at least a dusting, please”

LYRICS
As the mercury drops
Expectation tops
Awaiting the first flake
Old man winter awake!

Rousts Jack Frost from slumber
Makes the child in us wonder
Dash for the window
Watch the faces glow

Ho, ho, ho

At the first snowflake
Out with the tongue… intake
Covering the treetops
Hoping it never stops

The roads start to cover
School’s gonna be over
Anticipating what we know
Early dismissal here we go!

Ho, ho, ho

LYRICS
I don’t know if we can go
Dashing through the snow
I don’t have a horse
By the way, I don’t have a sleigh

The way the climate’s changing
From human’s re-arranging
It will be par for the course
If we can’t get snow to lay

Hey, hey, hey
Ho, ho, ho
Don’t know
If we’ll have snow

Will dreams of a white Christmas
Start to fade away
Those days I sure will miss
Oh God hear us pray

Hey, hey, hey
Ho, ho, ho
Don’t know
If we’ll have snow

LYRICS
Now I know what She meant
By shoveling cement
My ribs taking a ribbing
Funny bone ain’t laughing
Lungs gasping
Blood sugar crashing
Exhaustion ain’t forgiving
Even the most miniscule muscle aching

Forsaking
The lazy mode

On the unchained gang road
Lifting a heavy load
On the unchained gang road
Unlocking spiritual code

Take it as another kick to the keister
Or consider the splendor of the impending gleam
Know what I mean?

As to the blind man’s Braille
The third eye’s sail
See it all

Ensure splendid grandeur for their future

LYRICS
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Recipe for a gingerbread house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Stockings hung by the chimney with care
Something about roasting chestnuts there
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Dashing… ore the fields we go
Don’t forget the mistletoe
Do you know
How does the saying go?

We three kings of orient are
Do you see what I see… follow the star
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Rudolph with your nose so bright
With a tail… a tail as long as a kite
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Oh, holy night
May all your Christmases be white
Do you know
How does the saying go?

LYRICS
Nothing could be much harder
Nothing could be much easier
Then tracking in the snow
All depending on the flow
All depending when you go

If there’s snow on the ground
Just look around
But, if it’s snowing still
There’s not much time ’till….

So, if you go too slow
As it continues to snow
If you go too slow
Snow, snow, snow

LYRICS
Sitting on the bed
Looking out the window
Shaking of my head
Blocking out the shadow

When I was a child it use to snow
Since then, man went wild
Now, you never know

Standing with the keys
Pining out the window
Opportunity to seize
Singing to the snow
Where did you go?

We know
What we did to you, Snow
Please last
Please forgive us
For we know what we’ve done
First is last is first is last

Please forgive us,
Quasi-civilization Of The Dumb

Written and recorded December 29, 2012 in Chester County, Pennsylvania as an extemporaneous, 1-track, stereo, digital recording. It started snowing today, and it made me long for days gone. So, I thought I’d write a song for part of our Human Induced Climate Change Experiment and an article entitled Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover is Retreating. (Also see: Record Warming)

LYRICS
The tricks with this mix
Involve staying on course
You know? When visibility is low
Trying to avoid blunt force

To hell with hail
that falls to the ground
We’ll sustain the freezing rain
And, figure a work around

Damn the don’t knows
Full speed in the head

The fix for this mix
Involves getting out from betwixt
From above… snow… ice below
