LYRICS
Man, how much human
Can we endure
How much more?
Fouled land, air and sea
Haven’t we
All ’bout me
(Imagine that)
Habitat sure got hot
It’s not the heat… nor humidity
It is humanity
… or lack thereof
It’s all about the love
You see — humanity
… or lack thereof

Purveyors of music, song and dance
Let’s give ’em one more chance
Convey what we hear Her say
Mother Nature’s messenger
Know Her… be no stranger
Ensure we endure
It is humanity
… or lack thereof
It’s all about the love
You see — humanity
… or lack thereof

LYRICS
On the track
And there is no turning back
On the track
Lightning from the smokestack
Oh, let go! Let’s go

On the track
And the train is bearing down
On the track
Hit us like a rodeo clown

On the track
Time we all took this train back
On the track
Here we go! Citizens attack!

On track
And there is no turning back
On track
Lightning from our smokestack

MP4, LYRICS
Wait for me! Can’t you see…
My stride is tiny
Don’t want to sound whiny
Oh, please wait for me
Pleeeeeease…
Don’t want to seize
Pleeeeease…
Don’t want to cease

Wait for me! If it’s free…
A ride to destiny
Sure wanna be in the Promised City
Oh, please… wait for me!

Wait for me! Gravity…
Makes me feel heavy
Don’t know how I can fly
But, I’m willing to try
Pleeeeeease…
Don’t want to seize
Pleeeeease…
Don’t want to cease

LYRICS
The warriors putting on their armor
“So, humor in war”
The soldiers securing armor
“So no humor any more…
In any war”

In light we fight with all our might
As we fight right to slight what might
Holding dear to fear as black as night
The sword of justice adjusts us down to height

Please roll me over when it’s over
I don’t want to see
Cover me with your shield
Blind is what I’ll be

LYRICS
Clark Kent in to a phone booth
Change into the naked truth
Naked truth
Clark Kent out of the phone booth
Wearing the naked truth
Naked truth

Naked truth
Starts with your birthday suit
The essence of your root
Nothing else to boot
Soothsayer soul’s sleuth
Wearing the naked truth
Naked truth

Naked truth
Is more than just skin deep
Into your soul it will seep
An existential leap
Superhero out of the phone booth
In you naked truth
Naked truth

Rocking Out on the Rock

LYRICS
Almost rock off my rock
When I rock
Even when on solid rock
I rock the rock
Solid rock
Almost rock off my rock
When I rock

Take stock
In our foundation
Mental stimulation
Physical stimulation
Spiritual stimulation
Almost rock off my rock
When I rock

Pluck that string
Make it sing
Rock that thing
Now, keep it going
Almost rock off my rock
When I rock

Like the Rock of Gibraltar
A boulder! A Rocker!
Talk talk
Walk walk
Rock!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

How sure is your footing on the precipice of the future
How sure? For sure?
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

Presently I consider the present a present
The recent present won’t persist
No, it won’t last
Men, grasp it while you can!
Before it passes to past
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

Did you notice the crowd
It’s loud!
A mad dash to the finish line
3, 2, 1… then, you’re out of time
3, 2, 1…
Then, you’re done

Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Wasn’t thinking anything fancy
Just some good ole rock n’ roll
Will you and me dance? Let’s see!
Playing post-modern rock n’ roll

A lil’ thing for if you wanna swing
With none of that jazz or classical gas
Nothing too neat but rocks a beat
Flex reflex moving feet from seats

Not epic or big just to make you jig
Not top-of-the-pop rubble
But, it might pop your bubble
Reggae’s fine most of the time
But I want a chip off the ole block
Rock!

LYRICS
Planted on the planet of plenty
A healthy harvest from coast to coast
From see to shining see
On the cusp of being robust
Planet Earth or bust
(On the cusp of us being beings)

Hitchhiker of the galaxy
Planned on the planet of plenty
To see the shining see

Like the stars in the heavens
Bringing light to the heathens
Where the end ends beginning begins

Yes, indeed we’re approaching light speed
Out of our vacuum into spacetime continuum

Posted on by admin

The cloud is a shroud
Clouding the sun
A veil to curtail
The blue sky run
The wind of change is gonna come
n’ blow ’em back to where they came from

Discover the cloud cover
Blocking the sun
Obscure the pleasure
OF a blue sky run
The wind of change is gonna come
n’ blow ’em back to where they came from

Storm clouds on the horizon
Keep my eyes on
If they don’t fade
Gonna rain on the parade
The wind of change is gonna come
n’ blow ’em back to where they came from

Out from below
The cloud’s shadow
No we’re not done
The blue sky run
The wind of change has come
n’ blew ’em back to where they came from

LYRICS
Where did I go?
I don’t know
On the down-low
Subterranean flow
Please keep out an eye
For I
Haven’t been seen around
Don’t know if I want found

Are you aware
Maybe I’m there
And will you share
Whether you care?

What is about
Stuck my head out
Now there’s no doubt
What I’m talkin’bout
Please keep out an eye for I
Many perils awry
And, I don’t what to die

LYRICS
Watch the fish flail
No water in the pail
Watch the human fail
In a self-imposed jail
Help me break free
For a happy end to the tale

Baby bird fell from its nest
Trouble passing the test
Surely the humans jest?
The wicked get no rest
Help break me free
A happy ending is best

Cute little kitten in distress
Cruel human could care less
’til no wind in his sail
Talk about an epic fail
Help me break free
For a happy end to the tale

LYRICS
A most amazing thing
When I started to sing
The animals threw a ball
A bird call went out to all
Butterflies fluttering
Flirting with the wind
Man’s troubles abandoned

In the most amazing way
When I started to play
Critters began to party
Their animal spirits set free
The bird call went out to all
The forest and field yield
As the seventh seal is revealed

Before flora and fauna are forgot
Why not strike while the iron is hot
Start to stop to smell the roses
Watch the wildlife striking poses

LYRICS
Time to get back out on the dance floor
’til music penetrates every pore
’til music pours from every pore
As we lay down the dancing groove
Come and show us how you move
1,2,3,4
Hope you’re ready to dance some more
Left foot then right
Dance all night ’til dawn’s daylight

Shake it up, baby, twist and shout
Let that dancing demon find its way out

Nobody do the voodoo like you do
And, to think I never knew

LYRICS
Did you look in the cook book?
How did your foul/fowl get loose
If they cooked your goose
Then again I reckon
There’s too many cooks in the kitchen

Did you see the recipe
How to prepare holy cow
Is beyond my know-how
Then again I reckon
There’s too many cooks in the kitchen

Did you check the list of ingredients
There are no replacement condiments
In the human experiment
And, again I reckon
There’s too many kooks in the kitchen
