Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Here we go
Turned off slow
As if we didn’t know?
Did you make it
As good as you could
Or the whole time
Was it misunderstood
A global crime
“Not my neighborhood”

Here at last
Turned to fast
Guess it’s hard to grasp?
Did you make it
As good as you could
Or the whole time
Was it misunderstood
A global crime
“Not my neighborhood”

Hear me now
Learned some how
How to tune on wow
Did you make it
As good as you could
Or the whole time
Was it misunderstood
A global crime
“Not my neighborhood”
Yeah… it’s not my neighborhood
What do I care
Don’t want to share my share
No good… I’m no good

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What do we know
Long way to go
Quantum physics
And arithmetic
Playing music
Toys in the attic
So much more
To explore
Then before

What do we know
Long way to go
Our logistics
And momentum
Deep statistics
… and then some sum
So much more
To explore
Then before

What do we know
Long way to go
Astrophysics
And calculus
Making music
For all of us
So much more
To explore

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Aren’t you a long way from home
Do you have a long way to go?
“Tales” a-drag, mouth’s starting to foam
Did the rabid? Hard to know
Stray gone astray
It’s hard to say
… anyway… today?

Hey, aren’t you a little lost
Do you know how to find your way?
Tails lag
Haste the cost
Sails sag
Waste, decay
Stray gone astray
It’s hard to say
… anyway… today?

Aren’t you straying way off course
Do you feel out of place?
Tales of dead
How to get worse
Kids, we’re lost in space
Stray gone astray
It’s hard to say
… anyway… today?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’d love to see
A certainty
For humanity
Jump off the bandwagon
To begin again
Jumping off to jump up
Of that fluff, had enough
In the rough

I’d love to be
An abnormality
Jump off the bandwagon
To begin again
Jumping off to jump up
Of that fluff, had enough
In the rough

Will you join me
In nonconformity
Jump off the bandwagon
To begin again
Jumping off to jump up
Of that fluff, had enough
In the rough

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A change in the weather
It’s going to get better
Could it get any worse
Without invoking a hearse?
Can we get the sun to shine
So fine

A change in the weather
It’s going to get better
Could it get any worse
Without it being a curse
Without a flood to rout
The drought

A change in the weather
It’s going to get better
Couldn’t get any worse
The End. Chapter and verse
Can we get the winds to blow
To know

Are you finding it hard to swallow
Are you choking on hook and sinker

CHORUS
Don’t wallow

For your livin’?

Do your musings breakdown and sink her?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can’t blame it all on those that came before
Just a generation… maybe one more
Perhaps the next one will save us
If we don’t put up a fuss
If we don’t put up a fight
Do what’s right
Shine the light

Can’t blame it all on those that came before
Just a generation… maybe one more
Perhaps the children will save you
Your heart will tell you true
When meek overthrows might
Do what’s right
Shine the light

Can’t blame it all on those that came before
Just a generation… maybe one more
Perhaps There’s youth still in you
A song and dance point-of-view
Feeling your brings on delight
All is right
Shine the light

LYRICS
Forgiven for bubbling chagrin
For livin’, but can’t stop laughin’
Please don’t damn me, call it a sin
I’m not trying to be the class clown
The resident president of the class
I’m just sitting here trying to do the throw down
For a good time that lasts
(All time that pasts)

Forgiven for humbling pride
Take me, but not for a ride
Please don’t ask me to let it ride
I’m not trying to be the class clown
The resident president of the class
I’m just sitting here trying to do the throw down
For a good time that lasts
(All time that pasts)

I’ve risen, got off of the floor
I’m ready, I’m ready for more
Please come with me, so we can see
We’re not trying to be the class clowns
The resident presidents of the town
We’re just sitting here doing a throw down
Watching the future go past
Creating a lifetime that lasts

Worth the keep
Dig in deep

Found deep in the mind
All have roots to kind

Found way deep within
Spark kindness… begin
At the core of all
It is wonderful

LYRICS
I came upon a ramblin’ weed
Yes, indeed
She said, “I wish you would concede.”
Yes, indeed
Feed our flower

My ignorance begot regret
Better bet
Had to transfer my mindset
Better yet
Feed our flower
Our hour to shower
The power…
… of love

Best to call you by name I suppose?
On the nose
Are you Violet or are you Rose?
One of those?
Feed our flower
Our hour to shower
The power…
… of love

Things aren’t as bad as they may seem
Wake up!
Live the dream
Come see what I mean
Intensity hyper-sureen
Live the dream
Do you find the appeal
To it being real?

Wake up!

Be one with the beam
Lighting up the scene

A lifetime deal
Some call it a steal

LYRICS
If glaciers keep melting
At an accelerating rate
What will be the fate
Of the human race —
… ing toward the floor
Punishing forward
More! More!
More more

More more
Just as soon as we can
Endure
to overcome Man
Flushing down the drain
Rational that’s sane

Mine for what is mine
Dig mine, mine, mine
Going from rich to poor
Till there is no more
Now completely broke
All goes up in smoke
