LYRICS
Can you give me the time of day
I seem to have lost my way
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
Found my space
But displaced
I am
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
May I continue on….

Can you give me the time of year
Even what season’s drawing near
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
Found my space
But displaced
I am
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
May I continue on….

Can you tell me day or night
I’m searching for the light
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
Found my space
But displaced
I am
Found my space
But displaced
In the continuum
May I continue on….

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A little shy… are you?
But I bet you knew, too
Or did you?
You can let your love out
Set it free to go about
You’ll see how much you earn
When you feel your love return

By and by… you, too?
Part of the petting zoo
Oh you knew?
(Already knew)
You can let your love out
Set it free to go about
You’ll see how much you earn
When you feel your love return

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Hope you don’t mind if I butt in
But it’s dancing time
To waste a moment to begin
Would be a real crime
(… a sin)
Show the flow
Sink your feet into the beat
Remover your butt from the seat
Jump up and down
Move around
[Repeat]
Start the show
Feel the flow
Get to know

Hope you don’t mind if I butt in
But play one more song
Play it and play it again
Can’t go wrong
If you make it long
Show the flow
Sink your feet into the beat
Remover your butt from the seat
Jump up and down
Move around
[Repeat]
Start the show
Feel the flow
Get to know

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Think it
And give it a thought
Bought it
We bring what we brought
Why don’t you show them
What you’re made of
Open your middle
And spill out the love
Put out the shine
Light tonight
Put out the shine
Put on delight

Now that you gave it a thought
Thought of why or of why not
Why don’t you show them
What you’re made of
Open your middle
And spill out the love
Put out the shine
Light tonight
Put out the shine
Put on delight

Morning comes
Sure as day
Bearing sums
More today
Love and happiness
Legal tender
Best pay
Love and happiness
Hearts grown tender
Best way

High noon comes
Midst midday
Counting sums
High today
Love and happiness
Legal tender

Hearts grown tender
Best way

End of day
Flowing sums
From today
Love and happiness

Love and happiness
Hearts grown tender

LYRICS
Dropping closer to sound
Silent while falling down
Sounding when ground is found
Silence can be deafening
Screams in a dream
Waken to refreshen-ing
It’s time the I’s can see
Everything to be
Isn’t about me
Pupil of my eye
Pupil of my I
Eye to I

LYRICS
Thought sinking
The habitat
Had it
Wrought thinking
Had no clue at
Blew it
Before the last blizzard
Need a miracle
Bring on your best wizard
Bard, and minstrel
Oh, man
Omen
Oh, man
Amen
Ohm, zen

Caught winking
Mother Nature
Endures
Sought thinking
The post-mature
Waivers
Before the last blizzard
Need a miracle
Bring on your best wizard
Bard, and minstrel
A spectacle… angels lyrical
Oh, man
Omen
Oh, man
Amen
Ohm, zen

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What an odd thing to do
Especially from you
First you say you’ll do one thing
Then you do the next
Will you listen to something
You’ve left us perplexed
Left the wrecked

Watch your being
Crime scene fleeing
First you say you’ll do one thing
Then you do the next
Will you listen to something
You’ve left us perplexed
Left the wrecked

Left the scene of a crime
Thought it in the nick-of-time
First you say you’ll do one thing
Then you do the next
Will you listen to something
You’ve left us perplexed
Left the wrecked

LYRICS
Cookin’ in devil’s stew
What’s a poor soul to do
Before two-twelve’s in view
I’d jump if I were you
Unless you want to share it
With potatoes and a carrot
Perhaps it’s time to cut ties
Forego do or dies

Under ole satin’s spell
Cast at a wishing well
Should have thought before
Careful what you wish for
Joined the zombie brigade
Forever casting shade
Perhaps it’s time to cut loose
Head out of hangman’s noose

LYRICS
An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
Tag! You’re it
Lag… times a bit
No icing left on the cake
If all there is is take, take, take

An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
Tag! You’re it
Lag… times a bit
What’s all this reign from above
Who remembers love, love, love?

An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
Tag! You’re it
Lag… times a bit
If you’re living life in competition
Destined for desolation

An American rag

An American rag
’bout ‘merican tag
Tag! You’re it
Lag… times a bit
What’s all this reign from above
Who remembers love, love, love?

LYRICS
Want to let you know
Really hate to go
But the if, and, and buts
Simply make it a must
The bonds that hold us together
Can’t withstand the whether
The bonds that hold us together
Can’t withstand the weather

So now that you know
Apart we shall grow
Since the if, and, and buts
Simply make it a must
The bonds that hold us together
Can’t withstand the whether
The bonds that hold us together
Can’t withstand the weather

Been to to and fro
Evidence shall show
That the if, and, and buts
Simply make it a must
The bonds that hold us together
Can’t withstand the whether
The bonds that hold us together
Can’t withstand the weather

Looking back on Mother Earth
Appreciate my birth
Next life hope to keep in mind
To my Mother should be kind

LYRICS
Say human
Just for fun
Hey human
Can you just have one
Say human
(A humane humanity?)
Can you just have one potato chip
Without the entire bowl of dip
Can you be a little for a little bit
Without being tragically hip?

Say human
Just for fun
Hey human
Can you just have one
Say human
(A humane humanity?)
Can you just have one automobile
Without it being a really big deal
Can you be a little less and still be real
Remember to touch… remember to feel?

Say human
Just for fun
Hey human
Can you just have one
Say human
(A humane humanity?)
Can you just have one residence
Can you be a little more resilient
Without harboring resentment?

LYRICS
Fair is fair
Is there’s any there
In despair
Anybody care?
The attitude
Of our fortitude
Will be our driving force
An interlude
In our magnitude
Off of our winding course

Fair is fair
Is there’s any there
In despair
Anybody care?
The amplitude
Of our gratitude
How high our spirits fly
Our servitude
Be it platitude
Will we live… will we die

Fair is fair
Is there’s any there
In despair
Anybody care?
Our habitude
Wasting platitude
May lead to our demise
Our multitude
Will be barbecued
If we don’t realize
