LYRICS
… catch you again if I can
When I’m back roamin’
Sure did miss your kiss
The bliss of wish
Delivered… on a platter… dish
Be live… dead dread
Instead be delivered
Re-livered
Be livered

LYRICS
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drop
There’s a problem up top
Glaciers quickly melting
Dropping into the sea
Is the Earth revolting
Guess we’re going to see
… guess we’re going to sea

Splish, splash, slplish, splash, flash
In the fall of our autumn
There’s a problem with our bottom
Glaciers quickly melting
Dropping into the sea
Is the Earth revolting
Guess we’re going to see
… guess we’re going to sea

LYRICS
How did we get so far offtrack
Is it too, too late to get back
No reason to ask why
I am going to try
There’s nothing we lack
Finding our way on-track
Starting to get the knack
Back… back on-track

When did we go so far offtrack
Is it too, too late to keep track
No reason to ask why
I am going to try
There’s nothing we lack
Finding our way on-track
Starting to get the knack
Back… back on-track

Where did we go so far offtrack
Is it too, too late to backtrack
No reason to ask why
I am going to try
There’s nothing we lack
Finding our way on-track
Starting to get the knack
Back… back on-track

LYRICS
Hmmm… who knows?
I suppose…
I know!
1 = 1
And, the sum
1 + 1 = 2, too
How about you?
Enough what you “no”
Enrich what you know
As a matter of fact
Black is black
Can’t put up a fight
White is white
End the ignorance blight
Gaining insight

bookmark_borderWednesday Open Mic

LYRICS
Moving on toward seven
Getting a slice of heaven
Wednesday open mic
Got Carey on the big screen
Know what I mean?
Scuba Steve keeping it clean
Adds to the routine
You know cup-a-Joe
Is on in between
Wednesday open mic
Six’s on after seven
I can’t stay up ’till eleven
With Simon and Garfunkel by Tom…
You know you can’t go wrong
Wednesday open mic
You’re just in time
2 Nickels make a dime
There is no fuss
When up comes Gus
And, Rick is in the thick
Wednesday open mic

LYRICS
Catch a honey “be” with sugar
Are you going to let the “be” free?
Living life with vigor
Sure is doing it for me

Feel your heart growing bigger
Now that you’ve set the “be free”
Living life with vigor
Sure is doing it for me

Can you spread the love farther/further
Now that we’ve set the “be free”
Living our lives with vigor
Sure is a fine thing to see

LYRICS
While I was thinking aloud
Walking under a dark cloud
Why would one want to be
Living in difficulty
Why no live reality
A little more pleasantly
I found the light

LYRICS
Looking through the interference
I recognize your outline
Memory scan for a reference
Under art the kind “fine”
Refresh the temporal imprint
Impression from an infant
Youth infusion growing older
Elder grows young again
getting lost in the scene
Still the same as it ever was
Getting lost in the seen
A new twist on because

LYRICS
This needn’t be painful
The pane of your window
So full
Can’t see through
Searching for a more
Transparent you
Is it frost
Is it dust
What clouds your view
Out your window
On the world
For ages told
Fable of old
Turn to stone… cold?
Clear the view
Let light through
See the warmth
In depth and breadth

Our days grow longer
Our hearts grow stronger
The way we ought to be
Forays grow shorter
Less concerned of border
Now that we can see

Ummm ummm ummm

Our days more numbered
Our hearts unencumbered
The way we want to be
A higher mission
An earned position
Now that we start to see

The relativity of be
The relativity of me
Spacetime continuum
