LYRICS
Spend your life hanging on a wall
Wondering if anyone is looking at all
Canvasing the canvas with finesse
A pallet of colors for a dress
Picture this
A perfect world… nothing amiss
Picture this
Spotlight above gives a light kiss

Do you know Rembrandt or Picasso
Have you had a brush with fame
The unique aura that you throw
No two quite the same
[chorus]

Forever in a static state
Never to escape your landscape
All you life you wait and wait
To be auctioned at estate
[chorus]

LYRICS
Ear true
Hear through
The ether
Clean the wounds form salts
Rub them in a waltz
Fixer elixir of the soul
Fill with rock and roll
Dance can reign you clean
Polished with music for the sheen
Just for you
Ear true
Hear through
The ether
Endless tether
GO on for ever and ever
Light as a feather
A spiritual endeavor
Void of time
Full of space
Muteless mime
Not a trace
Ear true
Hear through

LYRICS
Our rush hour
Voltage thread
Display of power
’til but one dead
Understanding
Last man standing
Meaning we’re all going to die
Procreate alone? No, not I
No matter how hard I try
Our race to end our race
Congratulation! First place
[We’ve got a winner… want a cigar or mug of beer? I fear]
Will there be later
In this simulator
Folklore failure
Of the incubator
The premature
Exterminator
Outta luck
Better duck
’cause it’s a cluster#uck

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In case you are mixed up
The world is a flux
It keeps on changing
If times are the same
Why the different name
All the rearranging

Et tu, Brutus?
In the back of all of us
Shaking my head in disgust
… kicking up dust

What will it take
Not to make the same mistake
Is flux a fake
An in the grass snake?

Wading in the sands of time
Will I find…
I’m sinking quick (sand quicksand quick sand)
Can anytime be mine
Will I find
I’m a fleeting man, and….

LYRICS
Chinese water torture
Drip, drip, drip
Wait for the future
Tick, tick, tick
You know how it goes
Waiting as time slows

Patients’ patience endure
How much more
Wait for the future
Tick, tock, tick
You know how it goes
Waiting as time slows

No debate… running late
Flip-flop, flip-flop
Slowing time’s rate
Tick-tock, tick-tock
You know how it goes
Waiting as time slows

Hurry up and wait
Stop, stop, stop, stop
The moments hesitate
Tick-tock, tick-tock
You know how it goes
Waiting as time slows

LYRICS
Heavy on the light side
Light on the bright side
Making the gray go away
Growing more and more leery
Of reigning on the dreary
May sunlight’s ray
Come your way
Sunshine does fine
To lighten your day

Growing more and more tired
Of bureaucrats mired
May politicians you slay
Clear the way
Logic is quick
To save the day

Growing more and more certain
Our love will grow again
May sunlight’s ray
Come your way
Sunshine does fine
To lighten your day

LYRICS
Just thought you should know
I gotta go
The pace of this show is too slow
Oh no no no no
I gotta go

Have I made you aware
I’m outta there
The pace of this show is slo-mo
Oh no no no no
I gotta go

Am I being clear
Don’t wanna be here
The plotless show goes on and on
Ain’t the pawn
I am gone

Yes the happy me
I get to flee
We brought the curtain down
Bye-bye frown
I’m outta town

A song about finally getting out of the doctor’s waiting room.

LYRICS
What about us
Are we generous
Have we felt
Opportunities to help
The hand dealt
Understand
A hand to hold
Behold

Generosity
A sign of humanity
Curiosity
Of insanity
Can you have wealth
And mental health?
The richer you are
Makes compassion far
Come in close
For love’s dose
Generosity
Some fine ‘ole humanity
Humane hospitality

LYRICS
I know a place we can go
A little enclave that nature saved
Through the trees seize a breeze
Away form the Earth that we paved
If you bring q guitar the birds will sing
Leaves relieved dance in the breeze
Branches bend swaying to and fro
As the band picks up the tempo
Here we go!

In the shade under the trees
Thoughts run free… do as they please
Shielded from the hot sun
Yielded to life… having fun

Have it made living simply
On our path to carefree
Carefully tread on heavenly
There we’ll be living happily

If the cream rises to the top
And the proof is in the pudding
The cream took a drop
The pudding is overflowing
Do you think it’s true
There’s something to do
A long overdue
Citizens’ coup

The hater and the traitor
Has risen to the top
The mental masturbator
Is our top cop
[Chorus: Citizens’ Coup]

If the fox is in the henhouse
The wolf wearing sheep’s clothes
The pig in the Whitehouse
The nation in slop’s throws

LYRICS
Pointing the finger at the instigator
Which instigator is greater
Which impact left the greater crater?
Can’t you see
When you point 1 at me
3 point to thee
The instigator agitator
To say the very least
You’re the destroyer of peace
You’re claim to fame is shame
The peace annihilator
The semen of the demon
The scourge of Babylon
The lies go on and on
The freedom devastator

LYRICS
Did you ever wake up too early in the morning
Wondering what is happening
Did someone move the Earth
Or God give birth?
Wonder what is happening…
Or be what is happening?
No, I am not stymied
No, know I am
No, know I’m me’d
Won’t concede
Too the darkside
Ride to the lightside
Left the wrong side
Ride with the rightside
Begin being
Begin being the happening
Don’t wait for the Earth to shake
Wake!

LYRICS
The damn damage
At any age
A clean page
From damn damage
Older, wiser
The sage
Life’s miser
Engage
Helping the blind to see
To be all you can be
Helping the lame to walk
The same for the mute to talk
To be all we can be
Damn damage free
Trying to cure what ails you
Trying to aid what fails you
Trying to do what we can do
Damage to zero
Trying the postponement of dying
A moment meant for living
Long as I”m living…
Going to keep on trying

LYRICS
But, but, but… but…
I don’t need to wait for room
If, and, and but
There’s plenty of room waiting
Not waiting for gloom and doom
There’s no room for debating
Navigating anticipating
In the waiting room
Time to move along
Compose a song
Write what is right
In the wellness fight
Don’t let the Reaper loom
There’s no room for negotiation
In the waiting room
Not ready for a tomb
Plenty of life left in sight
Gaining spiritual insight
In the waiting room

LYRICS
In the fears of the gears
The head hog of the cog
Lost a tooth
Nevermore to tell the truth
The clock made a face
As it lost track of time
Cron’s eternal disgrace
There’s no reason nor rhyme
Nevertheless
Based on man’s freewill
Time stands still
Much to the distress of progress
Captain, check the log
We’ve lost a cog
Monkey wrench in the works
Now the works won’t work
Humanity’s in a fog
Raised by a toothless cog
