Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you happy
Where you’re livin’?
Or rather be
In position?
North of hell
South of heaven
Can you tell
If you’re even livin’?
Fixated on the rearview mirror
It’s becoming a little bit clearer
Racing toward yesterday
Are you happy?
Can you say
Are you happy?
Come to play
Are you happy?
’bout today

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Do your colors run
Static come undone
Dirty laundry
Hanging from the line
Proper airing
Will do it every time

Does your WARdrobe smell
Getting hard to tell?
Maybe just as well
If you say farewell
Dirty laundry
Hanging from the line
Proper airing
Will do it every time

Have you come to think
Maybe your feet stink
Afraid you might shrink
Bottom of a sink
Better pour a drink
Give a nod and wink
Dirty laundry
Hanging from the line
Proper airing
Will do it every time

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Out of the ashes
Into the wind
Born to live
Again
Eyes and I lashes
Seen what has been
Start my heart
Begin
Starting my heart
Gets me thinking
Why not take part
Beacon blinking
Save the sinking!

Throw us a line
Pull us in
Just in time
A win-win
Eyes and I lashes
Seen what has been
Start my heart
Begin
Starting my heart
Gets me thinking
Why not take part
Beacon blinking
Save the sinking!

Lend me a hand
To understand
Let it sink in
And in!
Eyes and I lashes
Seen what has been
Start my heart
Begin
Starting my heart
Gets me thinking
Why not take part
Beacon blinking
Save the sinking!

LYRICS
How far
How far
How far to push bizarre
Go to your closest city and see
Insanity
Coming to a town near you
The human zoo
So God bless the witness
Save us from this bliss
Unless we’ve experience
Death by ignorance

How far
How far
How far to push bizarre
Out of your closet and be
All you can be
Coming into view real soon
The full moon loon
So God bless the witness
Save us from this bliss
Unless we’ve experience
Death by ignorance

How far
How far
How far to push bizarre
Know all your closest intricacies
Let’s see
Coming to mind how to be kind
Loves not hard to find
So God bless the witness
Save us from this bliss
Unless we’ve experience
Death by ignorance

LYRICS
Time
Time sneaking up on me
Time
Passing right by me
Time… and time again
As she flies right by
I’m reminded of who I am
What right to blue sky
Am I god-given?

Time
Just out of my grasp
Time
How much left, I ask?
Time… and time again
As she flies right by
I’m reminded of who I am
What right to blue sky
Am I god-given?

Time
The reason why I’m….
Time
The reason why I’m….
Am… I think… I thought
Up until the day I rot
… till I rot

Time… and time again
As she flies right by
I’m reminded of who I am
What right to blue sky
Am I god-given?

LYRICS
Regarding sting
You must be kidding?
You have misspoke
It’s no joke
The power’s in the people
We know it’s always been
If you want an angel
Search from within
Kick out the demons
Who say amen
Kick out the demons
Sing amen
Amen

About our straits
Better get it straight
You are mistaken
Once again
The power’s in the people
we know it’s always been
If you want an angel
Search from within
Kick out the demons
Who say amen
Kick out the demons
Sing amen
Amen

Your suggestion
On suffering
Is plain to see
Lacking empathy
The power’s in the people
we know it’s always been
If you want an angel
Search from within
Kick out the demons
Who say amen
Kick out the demons
Sing amen
Amen

LYRICS
Day by day
We say, say, say
More
Just like before
The same old thing
Won’t help the birds sing
Calamity
Repeating our history
Thought it easy to see?

Day to day
We say, say, say
Same
Ain’t it a shame
The same ole story
All for our glory
Calamity
Repeating our history
Thought it easy to see?

Still today
We say, say, say
Talk
Forego the walk
Insanity
Our infinity
Calamity
Of humanity
Thought it easy to see?

LYRICS
Careful of the hand you chew
Mindful if it’s feeding you
Take a bite
Start a fight
Going hungry tonight

Careful of the hand you chew
Mindful if it’s feeding you
Take a bite
Cause the flight
Going hungry tonight

Careful of the hand you chew
Mindful if it’s feeding you
Growl n’ bite
Show your might
Going hungry tonight

Careful of the hand you chew
Mindful if it’s feeding you
Bark or bite
Just ain’t right
Going hungry tonight

LYRICS
One way in
One way out
We begin
Just about….
Left of right
From the middle
In to light
From a bubble
In to sight
See the light

One way in
One way out
We begin
Just about….
Day to day
Live to give
Gain insight
Give to live
In the light
Through the night

One way in
One way out
Way we end
The same route….
Went feet first
No more thirst
Out of sight
Say goodnight
Into light
Eternal light

LYRICS
Let’s run it up the flagpole
See if anyone salutes
Run it up the flagpole
See if anyone refutes
Absolutes
1+1=2
This we know is true
Shortest wavelength — why the sky is blue
Who knew?

Let’s run it up the flagpole
See if anyone salutes
Run it up the flagpole
See if anyone refutes
Absolutes
2+2=4
This we know for sure
When the soul’s sick
Music is the cure
Play more!

Let’s run it up the flagpole
See if anyone salutes
Run it up the flagpole
See if anyone refutes
Absolutes
4+4=8
Say it’s not too late
Push back the date
Re-arrange our fate
Is resolute an absolute?
Let’s run it up the flagpole
See if anyone salutes
Run it up the flagpole
See if anyone refutes
Absolutes

Hammer on?
Hammer off?
Hammer on and on and on
Gotta run under the sun

Weighs on you
So I choose sky blue

Gotta play while there’s day
’cause it’s found underground
Weighs on you
So I choose sky blue
Choose sky blue

Gettin’ insight in the light
No maybe’s pushin’ up daisies
Weighs on you

LYRICS
Is comatose
The most
You can boast?
Courage made of milk-toast
Or standup to the Man
Foot off the gas… let ‘er coast
Or demand to command

Is verbose verse
As close
To almost
Courage made of milk-toast
Or standup to the Man
Foot off the gas… let ‘er coast
Or demand to command

Is overdose
Morose
The endmost
Courage made of milk-toast
Or standup to the Man
Foot off the gas… let ‘er coast
Or demand to command

To be utmost
As host
Our milepost
Courage made of milk-toast
Or standup to the Man
Foot off the gas… let ‘er coast
Or demand to command

Went to the well
But the well ran dry
Only drop around
Falling from my eye
I could just cry

Go to the well
Do tell
Do just as well
To yell
Shout out, “Oh, well”
Oh, well!

Go to the well
Well, go and try
A drop to be found
Falling from you eye
Could you just cry?
Could you just cry?
Go to the well
Do tell
Do just as well
To yell
Shout out, “Oh, well”
Oh, well!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
After all that we’ve been through
It’s the least I can do
If pointing out to you
Will change your point of view
If it will get through
The things that we both do
Are going to kill you
And, me too
What doesn’t kill us
Will make us stronger
Learn the calculus
Of how much longer
Observe
Under the curve

After all that we’ve been through
It’s the least I can do
If upon reflection
It will alter your perception
Introspection
Since we all participate
The actions that we take
Are/our make or break
What doesn’t kill us
Will make us stronger
Learn the calculus
Of how much longer
Observe
Under the curve

LYRICS
When the music’s pumping
Hips begin to sway
Once the hips are pumping
The band will play and play
The band will play and play
The band will play all day
Into the night
Under fading light
In the spotlight
… of romance
Dance, dance, dance

Now that we are sweating
Must be on our way
Know there’s no regretting
With the band play
As the band plays all day
The band will play all day
Into the night
Under fading light
In the spotlight
… of romance
Dance, dance, dance
