bookmark_borderSuspension Bridge

LYRICS
Suspense… is the bridge burning behind me
Suspense… is there bridge building before me
… hope to bring clarity

Is it the kind you can draw
Is there anything there at all
Could it be the longest I ever saw
Or like London’s… headed for a fall

Suspense… is the bridge burning behind me
Suspense… is there bridge building before me
… hope to bring clarity

Do two force-members form a truss
If a standing wave caused a bust
Would it raise quite a fuss
Engineering is a must

Suspense… is the bridge burning behind me
Suspense… is there bridge building before me
… hope to bring clarity

Suspense… is it suspension
Does it have a pension for tension
Did I already mention
Suspense int the suspension

This song is about using a suspended 4th chord.

LYRICS
As a matter of fact
Went from gray to black
The sky opened up
And, started to cry
Thunder shook
Second look
Figure why
(Why she started to cry)

Flight of the lark
The sky went dark
Started to reign
Down on me
The rain started to reign
Turning loss to gain
I see
Look up!

bookmark_borderScrew It

LYRICS
Take a hammer and nail it
Take a driver and screw it
The best bit of nailing it
Satisfaction of the tool
Beats the worst of failing it
Degradation of the fool

Aim the crosshairs make the mark
Smoke and mirrors fear the spark
The best bit of nailing it
Satisfaction of the tool
The best part of rocking it
Turn the rock into a jewel

Right the fall and stand it
Make your move and land it
The best bit of nailing it
Satisfaction of the tool
The best part of accomplishment
Satisfaction or the goal

bookmark_borderGet Along

LYRICS
Sure lookin’ like we’re on our own
Divine intervention’s been postponed
“My” God! Where have you gone
How are we suppose to get along?

We’re at each other’s throats
One smirks the other gloats
Heaven’s to Betsy! Have mercy
Mother Goose to the nursery

Know what’s crossing my mind
It might pay out being kind
Remind the mind: humanity
Rise above the insanity
(Sanity, sanity….)

LYRICS
Along the road
Head might explode
Thought it was roadkill
But, Boy, what a thrill

First, I was not sure

Head might explode
Now, I’m really sure
A long lost treasure

LYRICS
If at first we don’t succeed
Raise a fist… we won’t recede
Don’t be shy to try again
And, we’ll turn the goal to has been

Ready… heave, ho

Do it some more

If at first we don’t succeed
Quench our thirst… we’ll let it bleed
No, don’t cry. We’ll try again
No big deal… back to being

Do it some more

LYRICS
What about peace
A piece of peace
A slice of love
… an understanding, thereof
Finally starting to see
Since I let it into me
I can let it out
That’s what life’s about

A peace on earth
A piece from birth
Sprinkle of love
… an understanding, thereof
Finally starting to see
Since I let it into me
I can let it out
That’s what life’s about

LYRICS
Oh, what a big surprise
Right between the eyes
On the 4th of July
Your rights have gone wrong
Ended up in this song
So, it won’t be long
Now, won’t you sing along
Now, won’t you sing along
… with me
“Me, me, me!”
All about me
Being free
To do whatever I want to do
Even if it’s over you
Over you

LYRICS
How long…?

And if you use a pole to vault
Is that really your fault?

How long
Is the long jump

How high
Is the high jump?

And if you use a pole to vault
Is that really your fault?
Astounds with leaps and bounds
Aspire ever higher

LYRICS
Looking back
Should’ve looked forward
Wrongway slack
Oh, God! My Lord!
Better grab my sword
Attack!
My eyes see the crises
In the I of the storm
Dot the I’s in crisis
Cross your t’s… forewarned

In hindsight
Should’ve had foresight
Am I right?
Backed in a corner… fight!
Better grab my gun
And, run!
My eyes see the crises
In the I of the storm
Dot the I’s in crisis
Cross your t’s… forewarned
My eyes have seen the crises
In the I of the storm

A song about the climate crisis and the environmental crises that we should have seen coming. How do you intend to fight the extreme weather… sword… gun?

You know that first comes first
Find a hideaway

LYRICS
More freedom?
DO you wonder how come
More responsibility
Falls upon me
Going from rags to riches
Comes with some hitches

More freedom?
We wonder how come
Social consequence
Comes with common sense
Action sequence
No sitting on the fence

More freedom?
Loose and undone
It’s time once again
To find a good citizen
Utilizing judgement
Of what freedom meant
What’s it mean
