LYRICS
You’re living in a whirlwind
I’m watching you spin
Where you were
Is where you’ve been
You’re living in a whirlwind
Trying to watch you spin
All’s a blur
Stirred up dustbin
Round and round you go
Where you stop… nobody knows
(No one knows. Do you know?)

You’re living in a whirlwind
Turn, turn, turn
Spinning so fast
Might start to burn
You’re living in a whirlwind
Churn, churn, churn
This can’t last
An endless sojourn
Round and round you go
Where you stop… nobody knows

LYRICS
When you look into the eye
Of a hurricane
You can feel the pain
Of starting to wane
After all
You fade to small
Upon landfall

The wind and driving rain
Of a hurricane
Starts to fizzle and fade
Once the shoreline is made
After all
You fade to small
Upon landfall

Not much will remain
Of a hurricane
Once it comes ashore
It’s not there any more
After all
You fade to small
Upon landfall

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Pitter patter of the rain
On the rooftop
Drip drop
Helter skelter of the brain
Going flip-flop
Drip drop
Is the weather messing with emotion
Don’t know whether confessing’s a solution

Not another dreary day
Under black cloud
Fog’s shroud
Send blue skies on their way
Clear blue
For you

Finally turning fair
Sunshine
Feels fine
Find your happiness there
Feel fine
It’s time

LYRICS
Pollinating pistil plays
SO sticky stigma stays
Blooming blossom strays
Watching,
The whirlwind carries
Winds of chaos blowing
The nectar us flowing

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
Love the seasons… love them all
But, there’s nothing like the fairies ball

Looking for them
Here they come
One-by-one
Listening for them
The sound true
As they sing out
Two-by-two
Feeling for them
Feeling me
As they reach out
Three-by-three
Multiplying
Here come more
Spreading out
Four-by-four

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
That dog, I love her
She loves me, too
Everything I wanna do
She wants to do, too
Don’t know about you
I’m tempted for two
But ‘cha know
She’s just right
So, I just might
Let it grow
Don’t know about you
When Man’s best friend is in view

(Inspector Clouseau) “I thought you said your dog….”
(Inn Keeper) “That is not my dog.”

I’ve got the dog-gone-it blues
Noooo… please don’t confuse
With the dog days of summer
That dog’s gone
What a bummer
Now, I might need three
To get me
Through the night
Yes, that’s right
A 3 dog night
Alright!

LYRICS
Maybe not the first try
But if you try, try, try
The solution for why
Is going to stop on by
Swerve on the learning curve
Till you get to know the flow
You’ve got to hold on tight, right?
And know when to let go
Let go!

Maybe not the first time
But if you keep tryin’
Stop worrying ’bout dyin’
Everything will turn out fine

I knew you would get it
As you drew near to persevere
Now we’ll never forget it
Open when the zen is here

LYRICS
Sunset
Gonna get
One step
Closer by a day
Sunset
Quota me
No regret
We’re on our way
Who’s to say
Our days are numbered?
Don’t count
The amount left wondered
After all
Nightfall
Roll call
Let the music play
Nightfall
Natural
Miracle
To live another day

LYRICS
Do you know? Is it clear?
Where do we go from here
Trepidation and fear
No path is clear
Do you know
Where do we go
From here

Now, just you hush
/bout all that brush
Brush aside and let it ride
Set free machete
Realize
Cut down to size

Forget the bungle
In the jungle
Slash and burn
Blacken churn
We will get you through

LYRICS
The contrast
Is coming in fast
Black the blue
Fair skies won’t last
When a storm is coming due
Tunnel vision
On a funnel cloud
Holy Bejeezus
For crying out loud
Tell me what ‘cha gonna do
When a storm is coming due
The contrast
Is coming on fast
Just to try
And stay dry
The reigns going to fall on you
When a storm comes due

LYRICS
Under the blue
Over the green
My God, what a lovely scene
Visions of you
Being here, too
In the scene serene
[Break / Jam]
Are you sure
No need for an anchor?
The flows give and take
Adrift on a lake
We can take
Any wake
Please take note
Rockin’ the boat
We’ll roll with the waves
Be the lifeguard that saves

LYRICS
One thing leads to another
Brother, it’s easy to see
Connect the dots
Wants to gots
Easy to see
1, 2, 3

One thing leads to another
Mother, you created me
Connect the dots
Wants to gots
Easy to see
1, 2, 3

Nothing is left undone
Son, it’s easy to see
Connect the dots
Wants to gots
Easy to see
1, 2, 3

Starts to flow like water
Daughter, what will you be?
Connect the dots
Wants to gots
Easy to see
1, 2, 3

LYRICS
Set adrift on a riff
Setting sail of a tale
See the sea
Within me
Finding out what you’re about
Peace unyielding
Won’t cease
Most revealing
… at least
Give and take
Even on a lake
See the see shanty
I’m to be
If you’re a river
No damn dam
Downstream
Even in a bath
You connect the math

LYRICS
I can see the ripples expanding
Their circumference exploding
Growing ever larger
The shoreline has a charger
An ever wider reach
Reaching the beach
Escaping
Cascading
Realizing
Capsizing

Destination upon the banks
To Neptune give thanks
As we venture onto land
Adventure to understand
Real terrestrial
Surreal celestial
Sending a signal
A message to all
Send a signal
A message for all

LYRICS
Your waves rock me, knock me
Try n’ make me roll
Tell me who made you
Tell me do
Who made you keep of the toll?
It’ain’t always what will float your boat
Sometimes you think
It could sink
No matter however remote
Bow to the bow
‘less the stern get stern
What the heck?
Show a little respect
Karmic “get what you get”
S.O.S.
Your waves rock me, knock me
Try n’ make me roll
I mean God save the Queen
And save our soul
Yes
S.O.S.
