LYRICS
Forget about the Mississippi Delta blues
Forget about the the Ole’ Time Country blues
Forget about the electrifyin’ Chicago blues
I’ve got got news
We’re free to live happy… if we choose
Oh, yeah, Baby… got The Antonym Blues

Forget about the hand clappin’ Gospel blues
Forget about the Deep South Memphis blues
Forget about the foot stompin’ Texas blues
I’ve got got news
We’re free to live happy… if we choose
Oh, yeah, Baby… got The Antonym Blues

Guitar Solo
Oh, yeah, Baby… got The Antonym Blues

Turn that frown upside down
Ride the smile through your final mile
Oh, yeah, Baby don’t say maybe

LYRICS
Temperature plummet
Mercury’s puppet
Across the frozen tundra
Sounds of the winter genre
The air is crisp and clear
Sounds of the atmosphere

It was 10 at 11
This cold is getting old
Well, too cold to be hell
Then, it must be heaven
Unless hell’s frozen over
Must be time to discover

It was 9 at 12
Delve into a new day
By 1 it was 8
Shows it’s never too late
The thrill of learning to chill
Arctic semantic manic

Temperature plummet
Mercury’s puppet
Across the frozen tundra
Sounds of the winter genre
The air is crisp and clear
Sounds of the atmosphere

LYRICS
Like the flag blowing in the wind
Or the sail trying to take it in
Just hoping for a fair share of sweet air

A limp balloon yet to be blown-up
A virgin kite wants to be flown up
Just hoping for a fair share of sweet air

Lookin’ for an airtight fight
Lookin’ for an airtight flight
Lookin’ to get the air right
After the pollution blight

A flat tire in need of a fix
Wizard’s whirlwind in his bag of tricks
Just hoping for a fair share of sweet air

Wind-dispersed seeds need a breeze
A northern front for a frosty freeze
Just hoping for a fair share of sweet air

LYRICS
Meet me in the kitchen
And, we’ll get something cookin’
A recipe to help serve man
Try to save his hide from his plan

Separate the nuts from their shell
Nestled in their man-made hell
Might have to thresh on behalf
Separate the grain from the chaff

Go ahead and light the fire
Under the Age of Transpire
Before our Times expire
Need to fan the flames higher

Create some red-hot coals
Filling holes with our goals
Why in the world not…
Fill it with something hot

LYRICS
Better strap your six-gun to your side
Grab your spurs! Come on let’s ride
This outlaw’s gotta a guitar
Wants to push the envelope far

Yernin’ for a wild, wild western

Better double-down on ammo
Nab some jerky! We gotta go
It’s time the pick hit the guitar
Shinning like a sheriff’s star

Yearnin’ for a wild, wild western

Play ’em some alternative that they don’t know
Gonna put on a psychedelic country & western show

LYRICS
Walking through the tall grass
Feeling a breeze blow past
Start a wonderin’
How the breeze does tease
I can’t see it… touch or taste
Yet, I feel it… blowin’ ‘cross my face
Like some sort-a “is” quiz

What is it you mean by existence
… sensing God’s presence?
Start a wonderin’
How the we’s can be’s
I can’t see Her… touch or taste
Yet, I feel Her… blowin’ ‘cross my space

LYRICS
Rather be your (naive) idiot
Than Kettle callin’ Pot black
And as a matter of fact…
The bit about
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
Mental aptitude reading dire

Find the passageway
Then, you can say
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel
Find the passageway
Then, you can say
That ain’t the way this cookie’s gonna crumble

Rather be your (silly) fool
Than hypocritical tool
And when you get down to it…
About the bit
“I am out of the frying pan
And into the fire”
Mental aptitude reading dire

When I hear them say there is no doubt
Yet, I see a puzzle piece (they’ve) left out

I struggle through the muddle
Baffled n’ puzzled
Gotta make the hole whole

When I hear them say there is no doubt
Yet, it’s plain to see… they dunno what they’re about

When I hear them say there is no doubt
It should make ya scream… it should make ya shout

Would you like to come in from the cold
Slip into new as you shake-off the old
Comforting in knowing
Ever-beginning flowing

Come on in and get warm
Let out the fear you warn
Come on in and shake-off
Fill your heart with enough

Would you like to come in from the cold
Slip into new as you shake-off the old
Comforting in knowing
Never-ending loving

Welcome! Come into the new
Shake-off… slip out of cold old
Comfort in the knew view
So much “behold” to be told

LYRICS
When at last looking back… back at the past
Despite how fast the past went pass
Then at last
You realize you can never go home
If you’re always at home
Then you’re never, ever alone
In Mother Nature’s roam
Homeward bound found

When you arrive you’re alive
All your days are to strive
To flourish and thrive
For your heart to take part
In the harmony… live to be
Part of Earth’s symphony
(Hear to see. Hear to see. See sea to sea.)
Then you’re always at home
Yin yang reciprocal ohm
More mho. Mho! Mho! Mho!
Here we go
Homeward bound found

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords

Mho is the reciprocal of one ohm. (It is also known as siemens.) Mho is derived from spelling ohm backwards and is written with an upside-down capital Greek letter Omega: \mho, Unicode symbol U+2127 (℧).

The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the unit of electrical resistance. Mho is the unit of electric conductance, electric susceptance and electric admittance.

What is your mho (℧)?

LYRICS
Love that we’re able to do
Know what we knew
Love that we’re able to do
As old fades to new

When you see an amputee
Perhaps reveal humble pity
If you can stand on your two feet
Cherish the treat

Love that we’re able to do
Thankful I’m able to
Send best wishes to you

Impute meaning to the mute… kindness to the blindest… a treble clef for the deaf
And for a deaf, blind, mute
Whose condition is so acute
Perhaps this is the day
To go out of your way

A New Year
A new you
One less tear
One step nearer
You and me, too

And, I bet the truth will set you free
From slavery
No surprise your web of lies
Veiled as bravery
Has jailed you…
The things you do
Found unsavory
Crazy shady

Spark and catch

Earn the burn

Break!
Do ya wanna bend
Or would ya rather break
Are you a poser
Are you a fake
What’s the message that you send

Break!
For goodness sake,
You might slip
But need not fall
Take the trip
With all to the Ball
In the end, what’s that message that you send?
