LYRICS
Ride high into the sky
Say good-bye
Rise high into the sky
Wave good-bye
The best time of my life
In the memories lie
Forever in your memory
Remember me

Ride up high into the sky
Say good-bye
Rise up high into the sky
Wave good-bye
Forever now and more
I’m just a memory
Forever now before
Remember me

LYRICS
One of these things is not like the others
One of these things is unique
One of these things is not like the others
Tell me… what do you think?
Has the leopard changed his spots
I tend to think not
Is that horse in striped pajamas
Or a zebra gone bananas

Does it come as a great surprise
You’ve won the door prize
Open it if you choose
Close it… you lose

Does a horse of a different color
Start to make you holler
Does jellyfish come with peanut butter
Would it make you feel any better

LYRICS
When I was just a little boy
My Mom said, “You’re such a big boy”
Destined to be man
I am to be man

As I began to grow
Eventually, I came to know
The old soul I was
Because….

bookmark_borderTo Each His Own

LYRICS
And, to each his own
What do you own?
And, to each his own
What have you?
(You do you?)
The right might make might right
In their imagination
Don’t understand the slight of hand
In their concentration
As is the case of the off-base base
The lack of basic logic
Turned to sick bigot bull$hit
So thick
You’re up to your redneck in it
Do you even own your own body?
Somebody said “From whence you come”
Your remains will remain
In between is our own suspense
In between is our own essence
In between is our own existence
Own your own existence
(Get it while you can
… before been

LYRICS
Oh so glad to be here
Feel alive
Feel the warmth get near
Got to strive
Though it’s cold out here in space
Earth is hot for the human race

Maybe I’ll just orbit
Keep an eye
Spy the nasty habit
Will to die
Though it’s cold out here in space
Earth is hot for the human race

The pace of their race
Blind man’s game
Shall leave not a trace
Went from came
Though it’s cold out here in space
Earth is hot for the human race

bookmark_borderWish It

LYRICS
If ever there was a time
It is near
The “no reason, no rhyme”
Reigns with fear
Take from this place
Only your haste
Fore race on race
Leaves only waste
In your birthday suit
Arrived, you did
At the time, quite cute
So long… kid
I wish it wasn’t so
Wish they wouldn’t sow
Seeds of hate and rage
Bleeds too late
Hate out of the cage

LYRICS
Shall we go
Yes and know
Here we go
2 from fro
Keep your hands and feet
Inside the car
Remain in your seat
It gets bizarre
If things should get rough
Beyond a bumpy ride
Have to hang tough
It will subside
No need for despair
You know that I care
So are you aware
We’re almost there

LYRICS
V for victory
We’ll see
Victory of sanity
The scales of justice balance
A second glance
Laws of physics
Over the ills of sick
It never fails
Snakes eat their own tales
Bringing the wrath(s) of the gods
Down
Raining down
Reigning down
The Queen Nature
Surely reigns supreme
To mean:
Victory of sanity

bookmark_borderQuarantined for a Fortnight

LYRICS
Guaranteed
14 days of isolation
For spreading fear of contamination
Quarantined
For a fortnight
No life in sight
(Nor insight
Into life
… just strife)

See if I have the sickness
If I live or if I die
So if I have the sickness
You’ll know the reason why
I die

Better stay your distance
Till I’m mortuary evidence
Bringing us to the start
Of “Till death do us part”

LYRICS
If the dark is getting darker
You’re going the wrong way
Leave the here and now as a marker
You’ve found the way
(Once) led astray
(Now) found your way

Should the dread push toward dead
You’re going the wrong way
Where you with to sleep… you mad the bed
Not too late to turn dread to day
Today
Once… led astray
Now… found your way

LYRICS
Into the trees
One as the breeze
Gravity’s destiny
Stickin’ in the friction
Can’t change to blow it (know it)
In the wind
Transcend
Into the wind
Into, too
In the wind
While with
The wind

The blow goes with the flow
The blow is the flow
TO know the flow
The flow to know
Goes with the blow
Which way the wind blows

LYRICS
Do not look into the laser
With the remaining eye
Do not look again
Where to begin
Do not look into the laser
With the remaining I

Brought with me
Free of all that’s me
Converted into pure energy
Granted, that’s hard to see
Still to catch this flight
Stare into the light

Brought with me
Free of all that’s me
Converted into pure energy
Granted, that’s hard to see
Still to catch this flight
Stare into the light
Aware
Into the light
There
Into the light
Care
Into the light
Share into the light

Do not look into the laser
With the remaining eye
Do not look again
Where to begin
Do not look into the laser
With the remaining I
Where to begin
There’s now ’till die
At least, for my remaining I

LYRICS
Get in the swing
Getting in the swing
Spirit takes wing
Inner happening
Into the swing
All around
Space is found
No harness to hold you down

Giving way
Starting to sway
Light of day
Along the way
All around
Space is found
No gravity to hold you down

bookmark_borderAsteroid Paranoid

LYRICS
Asteroid paranoid
Afraid an asteroid is headed home
Asteroid paranoid
A meteor to meet all with doom?
I’m more for grabbing a comet’s tail
For a ride with the stars… a solar sail
Across the universe
Then, into reverse

All souls
Black holes
Afraid of crossin’ the event horizon
All souls
Black holes
The bell will toll and all be done?
I’m more for grabbing a comet’s tail
For a ride with the stars… a solar sail
Across the universe
Then, into reverse

LYRICS
The sun is on fire
Watch time transpire
As we twist into the night
The sun is on fire
Watch time transpire
As the day is shed in her light
I hope she burns bright tonight
And never’s the day she fades away
… not fade away

The sun is on fire
Our times transpire
Hell freezes over should she burn out
The sun is on fire
’till noon higher
Discovered what time is about
And never’s the day she fades away
… not fade away
