LYRICS
Who was the first to decry sky-high?
when was it found the ground was down?
How far
Relative to where you are
How near
Will infinity be clear
Oh dear
Opened a can of wormholes
Space-time sort-a moles
Axis and poles

Who was the first to see eternity?
When were we sure there’s more future?
How far
Relative to where you are
How near
Will infinity be clear
Oh dear
Opened a can of wormholes
Space-time sort-a moles
Axis and poles

What are the odds to defy “to die”?
Who’s to question “why not I?”
How far
Relative to where you are
How near
Will infinity be clear
Oh dear
Opened a can of wormholes
Space-time sort-a moles
Axis and poles

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Woke up this morning
Asked Mother Nature
What are you going to dew?
Shake a cold shoulder
Let the frost get lost
Bring on the morning, do
Bring on the morning dew
What once was winter
Is now long gone….
Sing it in a blues song
Morning dew
Already know
It won’t be long….
But here’s the thing
What about spring?
Already happening
Shortening
(Mama’s little baby loves shortening, shortening?)
Morning do
Heed the warning
Of your warming
Rather not
Too hot
Morning’s due
Evening, too

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Could that be right
Within our sight
A sliver of sunlight
Out of the shadow
The straight and narrow

A sliver of sunlight might
Be within the scope
Of a ray of hope
Out of the shadow
The straight and narrow
Into the glow
Of in the know

Our ray of hope
Starts to envelope
Us as a verse
In the universe
A sliver of sunlight
Deliver insight
Out of the shadow
The straight and narrow
Into the glow
Of in the know

LYRICS
Looking up
Interrupt
Looking down
Look around
What’s found
May astound
It’s bound
Look around
Firefly light on a starry night
Outstanding in a field
Atlantic Coast for dawn’s daylight
What will our days yield?

Looking up
Interrupt
Looking down
Look around
What’s found
May astound
It’s bound
Look around
Flat on the back to the Milky Way
Reclining on a peak/peek
Looking West on the fading day
Finding what we seek?

Looking up
Interrupt
Looking down
Look around
What’s found
May astound
It’s bound
Look around
Remember the days when you could see the stars
… see Mercury, Venus, and Mars
Get to see the sunset
Set eyes on the sunrise
Looking up
Interrupt
Looking down
Look around
What’s found
May astound
It’s bound
Look around

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What are you going to say
On your way
What are you going to do
It’s up to you
Mind does the hustle
As you figure the puzzle

How are you going to play
On your way
What are you going to do
It’s up to you
Mind does the hustle
As you figure the puzzle

Where will your heart stay
On your way
What are you going to do
It’s up to you
Mind does the hustle
As you figure the puzzle
Not to my surprise
You deserve a prize
Give the dog a bone
He’s found his way home

A song about making puzzles for Puppy-dog to solve. The videos show him retrieving dog biscuits from inside:
1) a peanut butter corked Kong
2) a bone (and tied in with a rope)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Holding my hands tight
But there’s nothing I can do
Time’s slipping through
Try with all my might
Put up a hell-of-a fight
Time still slips through
I ask you
What can I do?
Go with the flow
One with the run
Current in the current
Between the future and the past
(A gift to you… least we could do)
One things for sure it won’t last
We present the present

Holding head in hands
’cause no one understands
Time slips right through
Behind my eyes realize
Even I will die
Life’s porous view
I ask you
What can I do?
Go with the flow
One with the run
Current in the current
Between the future and the past
(A gift to you… least we could do)
One things for sure it won’t last
We present the present

LYRICS
Can you tell me
How do you feel?
Is it fantasy
Is it real?
How do you feel
Does it feel real
Is mass appeal
A raw deal

Can you tell me
How do you feel?
Is it fantasy
Is it real?
How do you feel
Does it feel real
Cut a new deal
Raw wounds heal

Can you tell me
How do you feel?
Is it fantasy
Is it real?
How I you feel?
Does it feel real?
It’s a steal
Bow and kneel
How do I feel?
Is this for real
It’s a real deal

LYRICS
Water in the basement
Prophecy half-full
Or do you see your prophecy
Half-empty?
Lost empathy
The epitome epiphany

Keeps on rising higher
Now you know what is meant
Situation dire
Lost empathy
The epitome epiphany
Self-fulfilling prophecy

LYRICS
The sky is blue
This is true
Yet let’s the light
Shine right through
Come on out
From under that cloud
Come on out
You’re allowed
Find a wonderful
Beautiful
Day
Use our noses
Smell the roses
Along the way

The sky is blue
Lovely hue
Up to the night
Light shines through
Come on out
From under that cloud
Come on out
You’re allowed
Find a wonderful
Beautiful
Day
Dance at every chance
Along the way

The sky is blue
Sun’s in view
Let’s let the light shine
Through on you
Come on out
From under that cloud
Come on out

Find a wonderful
Beautiful

The more love we give
More above we live

LYRICS
Alright
No need to get uptight
Alright
Gettin’ out of sight
Tried but I just can’t
There’s an elephant
In the room
When the elephant is doom
Looming way too soon
Element of decadent

Alright
No need to get uptight
Alright
Gettin’ out of sight
Tried but I just can’t
Find the elephant
A home
Must be the color white
That doesn’t feel right
Condone
An element of decadent
The elephant

To and fro
Wobbling
To and fro
Squabbling
Friend or foe
People on the streets babble on
As the Tower of Babble falls upon
Babble on
Babylon
Babble on and on and on and on

To and fro
Wobbling
To and fro
Squabbling
Friend or foe
Speaking in a foreign tongue
Finding ourselves among
The ruins of humans
Babble on
Babylon
Babble on and on and on and on

To and fro
Wobbling
To and fro
Squabbling
Friend or foe
Do you find it odd
At the gates of God
Here Man can’t hear Man
Understand?
Babble on

Babble on and on and on and on

LYRICS
Probably won’t ever have to remember
That number
That number is far behind
Possibly anxiety’s energy
Through ponder brings to mind
Same old, same old scenes
Over and over in our dreams
(Understanding what it means)

Less stress
Attest
Won’t hate to be late
For the test
I’d guess that test is far behind
Possibly anxiety’s energy
Through ponder brings to mind
Same old, same old scenes
Over and over in our dreams
(Understanding what it means)

How near or how far
Did we park the car
Thought jar…
Left it far behind
Possibly anxiety’s energy
Through ponder brings to mind
Same old, same old scenes
Over and over in our dreams
(Understanding what it means)

LYRICS
The jet stream flow
Is changing how to go
You never know
Which way the wind will blow
Are you catching my drift
Between us created a rift
Went from air slowly leaking
From our balloon
To a sudden pop peaking
Way too soon

Out of the land of grunge
A polar plunge
Up from the land of under
Cause wonder
Are you catching my drift
Between us created a rift
Went from air slowly leaking
From our balloon
To a sudden pop peaking
Way too soon

The climate show
Is changing friend to foe
You never know
Which way the wind will blow
Are you catching my drift
Between us created a rift
Went from air slowly leaking
From our balloon
To a sudden pop peaking
Way too soon

In friction
On closer inspection
Like it or not
It’s getting hot

In the ocean
Gives one the notion
Like it or not

Makes it clear
Face our fear

Do you really want to know
Do hold dearly what’s for show
What was once most obvious
Is oblivious to us
The outcome of our freedom
Dumbfound stupendous

Alright ready? Here we go
You’ve already come to know
What was once most obvious
Is oblivious to us
The outcome of our freedom
Dumbfound stupendous

Just to be perfectly clear
We’re the reason we’re here
What was once most obvious
Is oblivious to us
The outcome of our freedom
Dumbfound stupendous
