LYRICS
The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
An art critic from the New York Times
Says your “lines are mighty fine”

The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
At the very least a masterpiece
… like Picasso or Van Gogh
You know… Picasso or Van Gogh?

The way you wiggle
Love the lines you scribble
The parallel symmetry
It really, really gets to me

I am thinking museum
Quality obviously
I can see clearly
Your name on the marquee

LYRICS
What a beautiful beauty full view
With the sky sky-blue
What a beautiful beauty full view
To enjoy with you

Seeing with ears
Hearing with heart
Wonder who hears Her calling your part
Touched by thought
No taste goes to waste
Can you taste fulfilling your part

Sure a beautiful… beauty full of you
With your love… love true through
Sure a beautiful… beauty full of you
To share the view

Soul so beautiful
Beauty full soul
See beauty being set free
Soul so beautiful
Beauty full soul
In totality

LYRICS
Which clothes did you choose
Does it impact how you lose
1st Amendment fashion statement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

Which rules did you choose
Does it impact how you lose
5th Amendment lack-of statement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

Which path did you choose
Does it impact singing blues
The pursuit of happiness
Paving the road to your bliss

Which constitution did you choose
Under the red, white and blue
The deferment of acknowledgement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

LYRICS
The people’s steeple
Is one under the sun
All inclusive
Belong to the club if you live
All the jive about being alive
Can all come true for you

The people’s steeple
None to soon will commune
Non-exclusive
Belong to the club if you live

The people’s steeple
Come on in to begin
Still elusive?
Not too late… start to live

The people’s steeple
Plenty of room to resume
Goin’ festive
Celebrate the fate “to live”

LYRICS
Scary clowns in the kitchen
Cookin’ up rotten stew for you
Evil minds are itchin’
A recipe rash from scratch will do

Waiter there’s a fly in my soup
I could swear I’ve been duped
The fox is in the white henhouse
Arouse! Fire, fire! There is a fire to douse

Scary clowns slicing and dicing
Half-baked vegetable state fruitcake
On the cake they put icing
To hide all the “knews” that is fake

Scary clowns are now serving
A feast to erase the least
Figure they aren’t deserving
Fatten ’em up to feed the beast

(What bout the fire to put out?)

LYRICS
Can I start workin’ it a bit
While I think on it
Fore sure, I’d love to know the big picture
… if I start, I can always quit

If I wait to hesitate
Lost time can’t regurgitate
Repeat: to time defeat

In “The End” ride off into the sunset
’til then, I’ve started to begin
My friend, forget about regret
As long as the time that’s mine is livin’

I leave grievin’ starvin’
And keep on believin’ in lovin’

LYRICS
In the mish-mash of the humanity insanity
You are fine art removed from vanity
A perfect picture of compassion
With love you don’t ration

You’re giving away a sum
To anyone that wants some
Crossed the finish line, yet never done
Shinning brighter than the sun

Why don’t we all just do it
Hold all of us to it
Why not change the world
Before we get too old

In the mish-mash of the humanity insanity
You put optimism in opportunity
A pure champion of compassion
With love you don’t ration
(Unconditional for all)

LYRICS
Why is that mosquito looking at me
Doesn’t he know… I’m not that tasty
Have I turned cold blooded (extremely)
Emotionally flooded
Don’t want to turn cold-hearted
Has it already started?

Why do I cry “I don’t want to die!”
While I should be giving…
Singing praises to the living
Raising my hands high to the sky
Thankful I am I
Don’t want to turn cold-hearted
Has it already started?

Time to consider turning innards outward
I’ve missed the starting gun?
Time to enact giving it back forward
Goodbye kissed n ready to run

LYRICS
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Spittin’… smokin’… gettin’ ready to blow
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
You gotta go with the lava flow
We’ll start to get it
When She throws a fit

What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Earth quake shake you to and fro
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Might just deal the final blow

What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Pit Mother Nature as your foe
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Damn! Sure hate to see you go

Forego making a stand on a volcano
Try n’ chill down-low mellow
Forego making a stand on a volcano
Less consequences you get to know

LYRICS
Look around for the downpour
Reigning down on the poor
Poor bastards can’t take it any more
Look around for the downtrodden
Being ruled by the rotten
Poor bastards all but forgotten
The authority isn’t right by me
See the “blind eye” so clearly
An elixir for the grifter
Disrupting harmony
The authority isn’t right by me
See the “blind eye” so clearly
Watch him shake and break until nobody’s free

We’re found in the downpour
Raining down on our core
Rich bastards getting cleansed for sure
We’re found with the upbeat
Singing voices… dancing feet
Shuffle play and repeat

LYRICS
For those that think it’s best
The rest are just a pest
If you try to address their mess
They’ll pass the buck to the next
Patriot bull$hit
Political rhetoric
(This $hit is thick)
Do no harm? Sound the alarm!
Men in suits stole the loot
Savage beast… to say the least

For those that boast “I’m the most”
At last, first will be last
At last, last will be first
Their reign quenching our thirst
Redemption nation
Alienation salvation
(Hallelujah hallucination)
Is justice justified
Is your hide on the ride
Was downside… now upside

LYRICS
I’m finding the utmost interest
In relativity
Feeling dependence on existence
Surreality
Trying to make sense
Of perception without senses
Perceive what I believe
Experience presence
Leap from “Ludwig’s Ladder”
Leave logic a tattered
Chaos theory delivery
The irony of destiny
Sixth sense third-eye I see

Spring from the last rung
Among angels in song
Soul music being sung
Time can’t be too long
In the essence of existence
Is the essence of existence
In the absence of existence
Will exist persist?

LYRICS
A robot took my job away
They don’t wanna pay a man to work these days
Automation, I’ve heard it said…
Is the best thing since sliced bread
But, hey! Hey, hey, hey!
I’ve got something to say
A ‘bot took my job today
(What are we going to do anyway?)

Our future drama dilemma
Puts pressure on our dogma
As they reconstitute the absolute

Cloud vortex gives birth
To the wicked witch of the North
Time is nigh to release
That which is good in the East
