LYRICS
A good thing (x3)
’bout the country summertime blues
Eyes may be blue
And blue skies, too
But it’s never blue inside of you
Listening to the birds sing
While wedding bells ring
Loving all life has to bring

A good thing (x3)
’bout the country summertime blues
Cool pool’s blue hue
Under skies of blue
But it’s never blue inside of you
Watching birds on wing
A the bees join in
Loving all life has to bring

LYRICS
Back in the day
You could get your jolly
(Riding) on the trolley
Now they say
It doesn’t go this way
Tracks in disarray
Leaving the traveler in dismay
Ohhh… man’s folly
Off the tracks?
Better check your facts
None-the less… trackless
Never-the-less… trackless

Back in the day
You could gain some sane
(Riding) on the train
Now they say
It doesn’t go this way
Tracks in disarray
Leaving the traveler in dismay
Ohhh… man’s insane
Off the tracks?
Better check your facts
None-the less… trackless
Never-the-less… trackless

Ohhh… man’s folly
Did away with the trolley
Ohhh… man’s insane
Ain’t no riding the train

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If it’s too far to go
Well, I just don’t know
’cause if you stay here
I won’t be near
I’ve got to go the extra mile
Whistling all the while
Then, it’s never too far
From being where you are

No matter the distance
Try to keep that smile
Won’t be sitting on the fence
Or shadow of the sundial
If it’s getting hard to hear
What I have to say
’cause you’re getting farther from here…
… as here is on our way

LYRICS
Busting out
Summertime rhyme
Finding out
’bout sweat and grime
Ohhhh it’s time
for the summertime rhyme
Sing and shout
Busting out

May I say
It’s too hot for May
Still I’ll play
Through the heat of day
It’s alright
IF it’s cool tonight
Feels just right
For music’s insight

LYRICS
Is your world
Half empty
Is your world
Half full
Is your heart
Half empty
Is your heart
Half full
Mine’s got room to fulfill
Help me make it spill

Is your glass
Half empty
Is your glass
Half full
Optimistically
The optimist in me
I’ve got the view
The view is in you

Is your heart
Half empty
Is your heart
Half full
Fill the heart completely
Fill the heart until…
Mine’s got room to fulfill
Help me make it spill

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
From the day of birth
Home is Earth
’til the day I die
Under Her sky
When skies are grey
On my way
To figure how near
Is “in the clear”

Under clear skies
The “whether” looks good ahead
Under clear skies
Better than being dead

As I walk the land
Try n’ understand
How to increase the value
To you
Maybe with less impact
Spare the whack
Pass the message through
Unto you

LYRICS
Days are fading
Is life waning
The Earth moves along
Standing still
Motion spill
The Earth moves along
Thinking deep
Grasping it more complete
Getting down
As the world turns around
Spinnin’round and round
Still standing still

Deep thinking
Without blinking
The world turns about
Letting out
Taking in
The world turns about

How can anything to wrong
The Earth moves along

LYRICS
Put a footprint
Imprint
Did ya?
Left your thumbprint
Innocent
Are ya?
When given birth
By Mother Earth
You took a bite
Is that right?
Bit the hand that fed ya
Bit the hand that bred ya
Took a bit
Out of Mother Earth
Till death
From birth
Took your bite out of Mother Earth

Another bit
Is that right?
Out of Momma
Did ya?

LYRICS
Can we find a way
That each and every day
Back the clock back
Define daily standard time:
Fall back one hour
I’m for our life savings time

Counterclockwise
Wise compromise
Is it a big deal
TO day-to-day steal
A 60 minute bit
Or will Mother Nature throw a fit?

Ripping the continuum
Asking if I am?

LYRICS
Please excuse me
Did somebody lose me
And would you hear
“Where do we go from here?”
Where do we go from here

Please steer clear
Getting too near
It’s easy to see
We don’t want to go there
Aware, we don’t want to go there

Meander away
Bewildered all day
What do you say
Maybe we lost our way
Perhaps we lost our way?

LYRICS
We’re really not that far
Bizarre bazaar
Sideshow for sale
Bizarre bazaar
Save an epic fail
Account for what we are
Two I’s with two eyes
I see two I’s are we
Together you and me — we

We’re really not that far
Bizarre bazaar
Cause the wail of the whale
Seal the fate of the seal
Account for our big deal
Save an epic fail
Account for what we are
Two I’s with two eyes
I see two I’s are we
Together you and me — we

LYRICS
The skies are crying
Over nature lyin’
(Lion?!?! [Roar])
Ignorance is no excuse
Gonna cut us loose
The skies are crying
Over nature dying
Ignorance is no excuse
Gonna cut us loose
All that you / I / we spew
Gonna rain back down on you
The dent of a carbon footprint
Gonna imprint
My, but…
Ass-k me know questions
I’ll tell you know lies
In “the end” everybody dies
Until then
What if everybody tries?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Walking ’round under sky so blue
Wondering if it’s true… am I under the weather
Under the weather
Yes, it’s true, when its’ raining down on you
Without doubt — under the weather
Under the weather
But there’s nor to interfere
With my atmosphere
Skies are clear
Is it “fair” to say “under the weather”
Under the weather

Walking ’round under sky so blue
Wandering… is it true… am I under the whether
Under the whether
Yes, it’s true, when the hail reigns on you
Without doubt — under the whether
Under the whether
But there’s nor to interfere
With my atmosphere
Skies are clear
Is it “fair” to say “under the weather”
Under the weather/whether

Additional Verses
Yes, I know, when you’re getting snow
It’s easy to know you’re under the weather

For crying out loud! It’s a giant cloud
I’m aware… under the weather

LYRICS
What’s that? Runnin’ round naked
Suspect hard to neglect
Quaking… foundation shaked
Waked — the origins of intellect
What the heck?

Started as hairless apes
Started shifting shapes
Clothing, leaves of grapes
Save us from disgrace
(save face)

Tainted… forbidden fruit
Garden… got the boot
Work… toil the soil
Strain… give birth in pain
Insane?

Given birth on Earth
Habit kickin’ habitat
What’s that? Stable genius
Less n’ less amongst us

What’s That.mp3
