Wide Eyes

Posted on June 23, 2015June 25, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
With eyes wide
Eyes wide and mesmerized

When you’ve realized
You’ve no place to hide

I ain’t heard nothin’ like that before
Might not ever hear is again
This is the spirit that makes folklore
For now, gonna soak it in

I ain’t seen nothin’ like this before
May never see it again
These are souls giving more
For “wow” partake in
For “wow” participating’

Jaw dropin’ droolin’
Eye poppin’ grocin’

LYRICS
Look in the rearview mirror
Hold on to life a lil’ dearer
It goes by so fast
Seein’ the future going passed

Look in the rearview mirror
And keep an eye on the road
Multi-task mode
Avoid brain overload

As the future comes clearer
The past comes nearer

Look in the rearview mirror
Hold on to life a lil’ dearer
It goes by so fast
Seein’ the future going past

As the future comes nearer
The past come clearer

LYRICS
If we pick our battles like we pick our nose
Who knows where that goes

Ya might start to run
Ya might start to bleed
It’s no fun
Having to concede

Have we slipped into a rabbit hole
New Age mole… through the looking glass
Does time move pass n’ weigh too fast
Does too fast turn to wayback past

Chorus

While we have hands to have tome on our hands
Time to let loose on the command and command understand

Make Yourself At Home

Posted on May 27, 2015May 29, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
There’s a big wide world larger than me
Now that’s easy to see
Since we share this consciousness why not requiesce
And go from I to us?

How can I ever be alone
Isn’t Earth all of our home?

If we wanna claim we’re from outer space
And not part of our race
Some sort-a born again alien
Better think again
Isn’t Earth all of our home
How can I ever be alone

Its time to hunker down and then charge in
… much to their chagrin
Get together begin sporting a universal grin
How can we ever be alone
Isn’t Earth all of our home?

LYRICS

Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?

The saddest thing I’ve ever seen…
Is Shoudy sailing in a U-haul truck
What the %uck?
Life gets obscene
Know what I mean?

Don’t hesitate
Before it’s too late
Tempt fate
Go irate
Set ’em straight

Come on back, Jack!
The best crib to ad-lib
Music, dancin’ shakin’ the shack

Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?

LYRICS
Fluttering pink and white petals
Creates a blanket as it settles
Will the mountains and canyons shake
Will children of the sun awake?

Children of the sun
Blossoms in the wind
When the day is done
Where have you been

Now that you’re living in castles
You can’t cope with any hassles
The love child’s gone wild?
Turned to milk-toast… lame and mild

Children of the sun
Blossoms in the wind
When the day is done
Where have you been

ABOUT THE SONG
C Am D G
C Am
C G

This is a song about bands from the 60’s that sang about love and flower children. Then, they got older and richer. They turned into hypocrites living in castles. In the Led Zeppelin song “Going To California”, they sing “The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake… as the children of the sun began to awake.”

Faster (Pick Up The Pace)

Posted on May 8, 2015May 8, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
I thought I was winning the race
When I heard a voice say, “Pick up the pace!”

Are you aware
The turtle doesn’t always beat the hare
In fact, only one in a million beat him there

Time to put on the shoe and tie the lace
Keep the foot out of the mouth on my face
Time to pick up the pace

You invented the clock (tick-tock)
Now its slave, you work
The ship has left the dock
Spoon’s run away with the fork
Workin’ for the clock (tick-tock)

Laissez-faire

Posted on May 5, 2015May 5, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
There’s some commotion
And, it’s staying in motion
Quick like Isaac
“An object in motion stays in….”
Loco-commotion (x3)
Notion

Tangled up emotion
That’s staying in motion
Quick like Isaac
“An object in motion stays in….”
Loco-commotion (x3)
Notion

Some sort-of love potion
Accelerating motion
Quick like Isaac
An outside force of course
Loco-commotion (x3)
Notion

Laissez-faire when Spring is in the air

What Do You Think of That?

Posted on May 5, 2015May 5, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Do you find it hard to believe
The air’s not fit to breath
Do you find it spoils the fun
Stayin’ out of the sun

Can you please tell me, “What do you think of that?”
Can you please tell me, “Will you tip your hat?”

Do you hope they’ll relieve
… unwilling to receive
Do you pray someone will say,
“I’m here to save the day!”

Can you please tell me, “What do you think of that?”
Can you please tell me, “Will you tip your hat?”

Do you know what I mean about the rivers and streams
Waterfowl run afoul ain’t no “merrily dreams”

Can you please tell me, “What do you think of that?”
Can you please tell me, “Will you tip your hat?”

What Is The Matter?

Posted on April 27, 2015 by admin

LYRIC
The bats are in the belfry
Toys are in the attic
Completely mystify me
With an attack so sick

Makes me wonder… what’s the matter with you
Did your intellect catch the flu
Are you the fly in the ointment
And are you the plague, too?

Is your humanity bill way past due?

LYRICS
I ain’t in no need of a regiment
No fulfillment in discipline
I can walk a straight line at any time
The ability of agility… no religion

Chorus
97th Regiment
In honor of the dead
I thought we meant for a moment
Dead was something to dread?

During the war of rebellion
Son agin’ son to hell and back again
No will to be civil in war (at war)
Killin’s ill… that’s for sure

A monument to the dead
Made of stone not flesh and blood
Spilling wine and breaking bread
Bringing on the onslaught flood

ABOUT THE SONG
