LYRICS
Time keeps marching
Facing future
Keep on searching
For our fortune
Already in grasp
Starting to understand
Understanding is at hand
The moment we’re waiting for
Is here forevermore
Evermore

Life keeps dancing
Call for our tune
Less the last lapse pass
Keep on chancing
For our future
While wild dreams are cast
Starting to understand
Understanding is at hand
The moment we’re waiting for
Is here forevermore
Evermore

LYRICS
In case you didn’t know
We don’t have far to go
To get to the show
When the lights go down
Gather round
Hear the thing is to sing
Tonight’s the night
Under spotlight
See what we can bring
Soul fling!

Alright here we go
Now you’re in the know
On with the show
When the lights go down
Gather round
Hear the thing is to sing
Tonight’s the night
Under spotlight
See what we can bring
Soul fling!

Rhythm is our flow
Letting the love show
When the lights go down
Gather round
Hear the thing is to sing
Tonight’s the night
Under spotlight
See what we can bring

LYRICS
Don’t mean to sound the alarm
But do you feel it getting warm?
Sun’s too hot
Juggernaut
People puzzle

No dream so sound the alarm
About our self-inflicted harm
Sun’s too hot
Juggernaut
People puzzle

You know I’ve learned a lot
Deserving what we’ve got
Sun’s too hot
Juggernaut
People puzzle

After all our climate change
A little late to rearrange
Sun’s too hot
Juggernaut
People puzzle

We keep on asking why
All of us want to die
Fossil fuel they’ll have to pry
From my hands as they fry

Long lost fashion
Heart on sleeve compassion
Passion for all
All rational

Hear here
Hear you’re here
To deliver
The silver bullet
Thick magic
Spine shiver
If we can pull it…?

Bang, bang
Hear you’re here to aim higher
Pull the trigger

Expire the dire
Angels sang
Bells rang
Love transpires

Magic bullet
Can you hear it?
Lifting spirit
Magic bullet

Pump the fist
Of an optimist
Raise the love

bookmark_borderHaving a Cow

LYRICS
Hear that you’re having a cow
Hear that it’s happening now
After the size of the pig
Got to big
Die to fly

When the pigs take to the sky
Half-past time to ask why
When you see one overhead
You know “Lookout below!”
They’ll drop you dead

Remember how you gawked and squawked
Chicken with its head cutoff
After the size of the pig
Got to big
Die to fly

When the pigs take to the sky
Half-past time to ask why
When you see one overhead
You know “Lookout below!”
They’ll drop you dead

Now you see it taking shape
Deciding to go ape
After the size of the pig
Got to big
Die to fly

When the pigs take to the sky
Half-past time to ask why
When you see one overhead
You know “Lookout below!”
They’ll drop you dead

LYRICS
1) Aghast
A brash society
At last
A fresh remedy

2) Abound
In rash stupidity
Around
Too fast cyclicity

3) Down, down
Into the vortex
Soon found
If there’s a next… more next?

Chorus:
Self-solved
Resolved
Uroboros
We’re meant as serpent
Eating our own tale?
Unrepenting servant
Eating our own flail
Realization

Fail

bookmark_borderHeads or Tails

LYRICS
Sometimes it’s heads
Other times it’s tails
When random is chance
It never fails
Into the air
Toss it fair
Whichever way it goes
Depends which way the wind blows
Updraft
Downdraft
Catch my drift?
Upwind
Downwind
Let the game begin

Sometimes boxcars
Other times snake eyes
If chance is random
It’s no surprise
Into the air
Toss it fair
Whichever way it goes
Depends which way the wind blows
Updraft
Downdraft
Catch my drift?
Upwind
Downwind
Let the game begin

Sometimes it’s red
Other times it’s black
House controls random
Green’s the hack
Toss it fair
Whichever way it goes
Depends which way the wind blows
Updraft
Downdraft
Catch my drift?
Upwind
Downwind
Let the game begin

bookmark_borderRiding the Storm Out

LYRICS
Hart the Earth’s bowels growl
Winds begin to howl
Find out about
Riding the storm out
Check the latches
Batten down the hatches

Sky’s wrath of a bath
Skies cry no one’s dry
Find out about
Riding the storm out
Check the latches
Batten down the hatches

Fear the swifter twister
Avoid the wrath of the path
Find out about
Riding the storm out
Check the latches
Batten down the hatches

Mercy of energy
State we brought to be
Find out about
Riding the storm out
Check the latches
Batten down the hatches

A song inspired by the Mississippi tornado that stayed on the ground for over an hour. A typical tornado touches down for 5 to 10 minutes. “We are not saying that the Earth’s temperature is just going to rise. In general, as energy is added to a system, the fluctuations in the system increase.” Mukherjee and Brouse. (2004)

bookmark_borderLover Recovery

LYRICS
Heard “You’d better move over”
Felt ‘er starting to squeeze
Before the gut spillover
Evasion plan please
Hoping to recover
From the grasp of my lover
Hoping that she’ll set me free
So I can see clearly
Then I’d be
Living happily
Living happily
Ever after
(Ohhh…. to hear the laughter)

But her grip didn’t slip
Felt more of a squeeze
Lost my stiff upper lip
Bringing on a quease
Hoping to recover
From the grasp of my lover
Hoping that she’ll set me free
So I can see clearly
Then I’d be
Living happily
Living happily
Ever after
(Does anyone remember laughter?)

Butter fingers linger
Slapping on the grease
No more bad habit
Habitat fleece
Hoping to recover
From the grasp of my lover
Hoping that she’ll set me free
So I can see clearly
Then I’d be
Living happily
Living happily
Ever after
(Ohhh…. to hear the laughter
Does anyone remember laughter?)

Going to try some more
First step rep
Going to try for sure
To avoid the floor

Get back, Mother!

I’m seeing a little sunlight peek out
I’ve a feeling we’re about to find out about
… find out about
Atmosphere
How clouds clear
Distance
From there to here
Wish I knew
From gray to blue
To enlite

Now no doubt a little sunlight peeking out
(In / out)
I say to you see the ray slipping through
Atmosphere
How clouds clear
Distance
From there to here
Wish I knew
From gray to blue

Time wore thin and the clouds rolled in again
While th4e sun wound down and set with no regret

From there to here

To enlite
By direct light
Once more
To long for

They say we’ve still got time to go
Given our will I just don’t know

Given our will hard to prove that
