bookmark_borderTo Do List

Time I dealt with the ice that melt
Time I see about the rising sea
Time to clear the air I queer
Kiss good-bye ones I hold dear
So much to do
Yet, little time to
So much to do
How ’bout you?

Fix the flow of H2O
Clean it of the “I don’t know?”
Bring back bees to help things grow
Kiss Ma Nature… she’s not my foe
So much to do
Yet, little time to
So much to do
How ’bout you?

Forego the ozone, leave it alone
Save some time, lessen my crime
Cleanse some grime in my spare time
Hang-up the phone, get in the zone
So much to do
Yet, little time to
So much to do
How ’bout you?

bookmark_borderShort Circuit

LYRICS
The directions say
… suppose to connect A to A
The way it’s to be
… connect B to B
If you want the short circuit
To quit
That’s it
And, by the way
Connecting A to A
Intuitively
B connects to B
Black is negative
Red is positive
Green’s neutral in between
If you want the short circuit
To quit
That’s it
Ground protection fault
It’s really not your fault
Saving this bitch
With your kill switch
’till you find the bug
Unplug
[unplug electric guitar]

Turn the page
In the age
Of the sage
On the edge
Of the ledge
A.I.
Aye, aye captain

Are you certain
You know
Where you are going?
Row, row, row
The negligence
Of my artificial intelligence
Do tell
Due tell

On intelligence
Arrogance
Of enlightenment
Meant
Our brief moment
Who knows?
Cut off my knows
To spite my face
Or embrace
All natural
Intelligence?

LYRICS
Abby Somebody
Just a brain
Caught in the reign
To restrain
Is Abby somebody?
In the eye-of-the storm
Not of the norm
At all
Not normal?
Take a stab
Ab…
In total
Not normal
When they were passing out brains
I thought they said trains
There’s already toys in my attic
Not really sick
The joys
Rearrange strange
Paranormal strain
Just a brain
Abby Somebody
Is that body me, Abby?

LYRICS
Are you going to mince our meet
Getting dicey with your words
How absurd
How to greet
Getting blurred
Our minced meet
Grind
Do you mind
Slice and dice
Realize pulverized

Pulverized realized
Real eyes
See me
Cut to the chase
Beyond two face
Rate… straight
From the horse’s mouth
Never… on the 12th…
Of never
Ever life’s wealth

LYRICS
What exactly do you mean
That you ate hate
And threw away the lean?
It’s always been the fact
On his throne, the pig’s fat
The fascists’ zone
Disregard the marred

The devil is in the details?
If you’re talking entrails
Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails
It’s always been the fact
On his throne, the pig’s fat
The fascists’ zone
Disregard the marred
He’ll make you squeam and squirm
Slurping on a worm
Cold hearted death departed

LYRICS
Drill it into me
Screw it
It’s killin’ me
Don’t let it be taken for granted
No matter how ranted and slanted
Freedom is not free
At any rate, I best appreciate
You don’t need to drill it in
I am listenin’
Won’t let kt hold me down
I knew it
Screw it!
Thick as concrete
I repeat
Thick as concrete
I repeat
You don’t need to drill it into me
I control my own destiny

LYRICS
Sloppy or nearly
Close to perfection
Art not thou art?
Our creation
Wherefore art thou, art
Be you the tile in style
The style in the tile
… the missing peace
Hand still grease pencil
Trace
… the missing place
Still, hand, still
Release
… the missing piece
Cut to the groove
Remove
The missing piece
Perfect fit
Is it
Sloppy or nearly art
… isn’t this where we’d start?

LYRICS
Adding fuel to the fire
Energy transformed
(You’re getting warm)
To make time transpire
To awake time… transpire
How much “would”
Would a dumb-#uck chuck
If a dumb-chuck could
How much “would”
Would a would-chuck chuck
How much fire will transpire
See the reality of the energy
Burn in front of me
And yes it does reside
Inside
Of me

LYRICS
Still the question lingers
Should I watch my fingers?
After all,
What about “keep your eye on the ball”?
Watch you might poke an eye out?
What are you talking about
I’m just having some fun
(When all’s said and done)

Let’s hear you cry “live and let die”
After all,
So what if you fall?
You might poke your “I” out, kid
Big deal… so what if I did?
When all is said and done
… just having a little fun

LYRICS
Thinking good and thinking plenty
Everybody’s ready
To cease the battle for peace
Everybody’s release

Thinking good and I’m thinking plenty
Everybody’s ready
Cease the war to enforce peace
Everybody’s release

Everybody’s been getting ready
Increase in pressure is steady
Everybody’s been getting ready
Dead on course and holding steady

We share this same ship
Shipshape or deep shit
Hitchhikers on rock #3
Blue due to sky and sea
Hurling through time and space
Wondering who stays in place

LYRICS
Out of the gate
At a rapid rate
Out of the bag
Bearded, toothless hag
(Cat’s out of the bag)

Caught in the crossfire
Of the insane
Flames blowin’ higher
Burnt out brain
Inflammatory story
Fallen angel’s sorry
The death of hell on Earth
Bring on heaven’s birth

Out of your rage
Out of your cage
Into the phase
That will amaze
(Phase amaze, blaze amaze)

Time to grow the know
Let go of the hate
And participate
Time to grow the know
Grow the know now!
