LYRICS
Is the grass always green
Do you know what I mean
On your inside
Is the glass half empty
Or full with empathy
On the inside
Does it spill over
Discover the lover
Runneth all over
Lover of the other

LYRICS
I see that light’s the entity
That enables me to see
Through a fog
Through a clog
Not a cog
In infinity

Through the downs
Through the outs
With my dogs
In eternity
Through a fog
Through a clog
Not a cog
In infinity

Karma comes round
Bouts the abouts
Guised as destiny
Through a fog
Through a clog
Not a cog
In infinity

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The scorekeeper thought a little deeper
“I wonder who’s keeping time?”
As time continued to seether
“I wonder if I’m?”
Before Time runs out
Better figure what it’s about

The timekeeper stopped to ponder
“I wonder who’s keeping score?”
His mind continued to wander
“Is there any more?”
Before Time runs out
Better figure what it’s about

The players kept on saying
“I wonder who’s keeping track”
So they continued on playing
No / know you can’t get time back
Before Time runs out
Better figure what it’s about

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is repeating competing making your life fleeting
At the crack of dawn you’ve got to get it on
… and on and on and on
You’re the master of your leading
Could go faster avoid/waive/wave receding

Do you feel you’re on a hamster wheel
Running but not making any ground
Did you fall on the carousel
Going round and round and round and round
You’re the master of your leading
Could go faster avoid/waive/wave receding

Amazed at the days
In a haze running the rat’s maze
Pushing play all day
In a fog as Pavlov’s dog
You’re the master of your leading
Could go faster avoid/waive/wave receding

Chords: Dm A7 / Em C A7 (to Ab7 to Dm)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Why don’t we climb above
And shine on love
Why don’t we climb above
And shout out “Love!”
Did your heart go missing
Or breakdown hissing
Do you want to know the best fix
An elixir to do the trick of tricks

Why don’t we climb above
And shout out “Love!”
Why don’t we climb above
And shine on love
Did your heart go missing
Or breakdown hissing
Do you want to know the best fix
An elixir to do the trick of tricks

Why don’t we climb above
And shine on love

LYRICS
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Your light is showing me
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Your light is showering me
Shine on, you crazy diamond
A sparkling jewel lets me see
Your brilliance sets us free
Significance is daily
Relevance of “to be”
Set us free

Shine on, you crazy diamond
Your light is showing me
Shine on, you crazy diamond
A sparkling jewel lets me see
Your intelligence sets harmony
The difference in the key
Resonance tonality
Set us free

Shine on, you crazy diamond
Your light is showing me
Shine on, you crazy diamond
A sparkling jewel lets me see
Our circumstance in company
Can we balance empathy
A resemblance to deity
Set ’em free

Shine on your crazy diamonds
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Your light is showing me
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Your light is showering me

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Who wants to go for a ride?
A glide… slide…
On a surface like glass
As objects in motion pass
So, fast
Solid, liquid, gasssss
And you find you’re not alone
In the twilight zone
Yes, you’ve found you’re new home
In the twilight zone

Who wants to come on a ride
Inside
Outside
Reach critical mass
As objects in motion pass
So, fast
Solid, liquid, gasssss
And you find you’re not alone
In the twilight zone
Yes, you’ve found you’re new home
In the twilight zone
