bookmark_borderWhen I Grow Up…?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Horsing ’round on the playground
Get back up after falling down
Over time hearts grow cold
Do you want to feel old?
Maybe it’s time to put agin’ on hold
Bound for found
Breakdown unfold
Maybe it’s time to put agin’ on hold

Crack of dawn
Go to school
Can’t grow up
To be a fool
Over time hearts grow cold
Do you want to feel old?
Maybe it’s time to put agin’ on hold
Bound for found
Breakdown unfold
Maybe it’s time to put agin’ on hold

Snakes n’ snails
Puppy dog tales
Fun in the sun
Never fails
Over time hearts grow cold
Do you want to feel old?
Maybe it’s time to put agin’ on hold
Bound for found
Breakdown unfold
Maybe it’s time to put agin’ on hold

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How far can we stretch this bizarre bazaar?
The toll to sell our soul
On par to too far
How far can we stretch this bizarre?
We’ve cleared beyond weird
Heard we passed absurd
Out-of-control? How droll
Oh, dear… there goes queer
How far?
Raised the bar
How far
Can we stretch this bizarre
I mean… how far…
From where we are
All ready? Break a record
Already broke the record
Heard passed absurd
All heady… how far?
Hard pressed
Impressed?
How far can we stretch this bizarre bazaar?

LYRICS
Working on quite content
When I’m next to you
Working on quite content
Enthusiasm won’t relent
’cause you do what it is you do
Your altruism is well spent
The way you do what it is you do
A natural fact
A lifelong pact
One heart
’till death do us part

LYRICS
Am I part of the cure
Got to wonder…
For sure
Got to wonder…
If sure
Got to wonder…
I’m sure
Can’t let myself seize
When I’m down on my knees
Please….
Where do I reside
Deep down inside
Will I find out
What I’m all about

LYRICS
You don’t forget what your focus is on
You forget what to focus on
The water’s boiling over
The cake is going to burn
Will I come to discover
Will I ever learn
Rock-a-bye maybe
On the tree top
When the bow breaks
The baby will drop
The cradle will rock
Those high stakes
Those high stakes of maybe

LYRICS
There’s an angel of fortune
Watching over my shoulder
Co-authors the tune
As we both grow older

Watching over me
Helping me to see
The path ahead more clearly

Helping guide me
To where to be
Closer to the heart, dearly

Looking out for me
Guarding that we’re free
Protecting fiercely

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Aren’t you glad
You’re glad
Instead of mad?
Not wasting away
Good times
You could have had
Glad for the glad that’s had
Since a lad
Self-made, I’m
Not wasting away time
Aren’t you glad?
Glad for the glad that’s had
Maybe a tad more glad
To add to the glad tab
Aren’t you glad
Glad for the glad that’s had?

LYRICS
I’m done waiting
Anticipating
(Done waiting)
Move to the next
Brain flexed
Made the move
Feel improved
Roll the dice
For your slice
Move ahead… roll twice
Check your mate
Done with fate
Initiate

LYRICS
with a wit to kill
The knife of life
With a bit of thrill
Arrive @ alive
Send x,x,x’s & o,o,o’s
Virtual hugs and blown kisses
Who knows?
Enough shoulder shrugs
And, near misses
Select x,x,x’s & o,o,o’s
However remote the vote
Hugs and kisses
At the end of the line
The end of my time
Hear the rhyme
Endure under my signature
Love,
… x,x,x’s & o,o,o’s

PS I love you

LYRICS
See what I mean
All coming clean
Throwing out the baby
In the bathwater
Maybe,
You are not sure

See what I mean
All coming clean
Cutting off the nose
TO spite the ‘ole face
Who knows,
Could end up in disgrace

See what I mean
All coming clean
Riding the gravy train
Engineer’s insane
Your fears,
Owed in arrears

LYRICS
That’s 6 of one
Would you rather
Have a half-dozen
Of the other
Does it really matter
When all is said and one
Hell has frozen over

A 12 inch run
Would you rather
A foot chosen
Of the other
Won/won
Does it really matter
When all is said and one
Hell has frozen over

Up the chimney down
Not down the chimney up
If you’re in to figuring out
It’s about _______….

Sometime in the summertime
Deep in the summertime
Sometime deep in the summertime
It was deep
Got a clue

Ohh so sweeeet

Sometime in the summertime
We would seep
Deep
Into the deep, deep blue
Summertime hue

LYRICS

Pound a nail
Got to hang a picture
Another nail
Got another picture
Just in case
You want to see
Posterity

Scoop and bail
Or sink before we sail
Cry and wail
Won’t help to change the tale
Just in case
They want to see
Posterity

Please pinch me
A dose of reality
Please pinch me
Rouse from serenity
Just in case
I doubt my
Mortality

Suit them up
Strike up the band
We’ll lend out
