A song about looking into a swimming pool and looking into a soul

LYRICS
Parts you can see right through
Others bounce back at you
Reflecting on reflections
Of the surface
Reflecting on selections
Of my service

Pars can pass right through
Others do come back to you
Parts there’s nothing to see
Others to see is to be
Reflecting on reflections
Of the surface
Reflecting on selections
Of my service

To have and to hold
Or let life unfold
To tie a tight knot/not
Or give all you’ve got
Curl up in a ball
Or stand up real tall
Not to try at all
Or get up when you fall?

Chords: A A9 D D9 / C C9 D D9 A A9 / C E

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Early in the morning
At the crack of day
Ole rooster was crowing
What he have to say?
Cock, a doddle or a do
What say you?
Cock, a doddle… a do?
A do to be
To be I am
Therefore
I shall listen
Evermore
Crow, rooster, crow
Let the people know
Crow, rooster, crow
Time to wake-up!
Let ’em know

bookmark_borderZero Air (Hard to Dance)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sound can’t travel through space
There’s no sound found
In a vacuum not a trace
No sound around
Come on down
To Earth
You can hear down here
For what it’s worth

Out in space it’s hard to dance
When no sound can be found
A “hard to dance” circumstance
Without sound
Come on down
To Earth
You can hear down here
For what it’s worth

Does life without music
Make you sick
The confines of space have bound
There’s a solution… a quick trick
Sound is found
Come on down
To Earth
You can hear down here
For what it’s worth

LYRICS
Walk right into my dream
And you’ll know just what I mean
Let light slip through the seems/seams

You can always live it again

To see
Over again

bookmark_borderTimes Wander

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You ever wonder
Where times wander
Where did the time go?
I’m falling behind
To the land of lost time
Does anyone know
Where does the time go?
I’m looking ahead
No! I’m not dead
I for one know
There’s still time to go

You ever ponder
How time’s squandered
Can’t get time to slow
I’m falling behind
To the land of lost time
Does anyone know
Where does the time go?
I’m looking ahead
No! I’m not dead
I for one know
There’s still time to go

You ever wander
Way off yonder
Beyond where the times flow
I’m falling behind
To the land of lost time
Does anyone know
Where does the time go?
I’m looking ahead
No! I’m not dead
I for one know
There’s still time to go

bookmark_borderDon’t Say “Go Away”

Posted on by admin

I don’t want you to say
Go away
The facts are here to stay
Anyway
What lacks is easy to see
The coherency

I don’t want you to waste
Precious time
In the void of taste
Waste’s a crime
What lacks is easy to see
The coherency

I don’t want you to hate
Living life
Let’s participate
Without strife
What lacks is easy to see
The coherency

I don’t want you to say
Go away
The facts are here to stay
Anyway

bookmark_borderCarry On

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I hope to carry on
… and on and on
Grab the rope and tow the line
’til we reach The End of time
Point-of-view from me, my, mine
To all is well when all is fine
The only thing for Man to fear
Is Man himself
while the only thing a man holds dear
Is his self-wealth

We cope and carry on
… and on and on
Grab the rope and tow the line
’til we reach The End of time
Point-of-view from me, my, mine
To all is well when all is fine
The only thing for Man to fear
Is Man himself
while the only thing a man holds dear
Is his self-wealth

The scope to carry on
… and on and on
No “nope” to carry on
… and on and on
Grab the rope and tow the line
’til we reach The End of time
Point-of-view from me, my, mine
To all is well when all is fine
The only thing for Man to fear
Is Man himself
while the only thing a man holds dear
Is his self-wealth

bookmark_borderA Melody

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A melody came to me
And its seemed to be
Quite haunting
The gravity of levity a little bit
Less daunting
When a melody came to me
Quite contrarily
The brevity
Of the levity
Present’s barely
Quickly fades into past
How much long will it last?

The comedy I start to see
Simply amusing
The levity of the love I see
Even more amazing
Then, that melody came to me
Quite contrarily
The brevity
Of the levity
Present’s barely
Quickly fades into past
How much long will it last?

Chords: F# B / E D F# / F#7 F# / C#7 B F#; Part II 120 BPM accelerate at end

LYRICS
Got the tail wag
And the smile tag
Lovin’ livin’ all day
The scent of air
Everywhere
Livin’ lovin’ today
Pick up your guitar and play
It isn’t that far away
[Bb guitar jam]

Wade in the shade
Of the life we’ve made
Lovin’ livin’ all day
A sign in the sky
Watch raptors fly by
Livin’ lovin’ today
Pick up your guitar and play
It isn’t that far away

With head held high
All knots untie
Lovin’ livin’ all day
We’ve come to know
We’re good to go
Livin’ lovin’ today
Pick up your guitar and play
It isn’t that far away

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you ready to quit
Are you over it
Don’t you find it a bit
Obsolete
Or without it
Life’s incomplete
Totally addicted
To mass consumption
Complicated
And then sum/some
I’ve got the mass consumption blues
I’ve got the mass consumption blues
Don’t tell me my dues are due
The mass consumption blues
Totally addicted
Morally inflicted
Damnation
And then some/sum
Hang tough
More stuff!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can you see us lying
… lying on a golden bed
The tears we’re crying
Over joys left unsaid
Over the moon
There’s a shining star
Piper resumes
The tune to take us far

Is there use trying
To resurrect the dead
Night be for crying
If we prevent instead
Over the moon
There’s a shining star
Piper resumes
The tune to take us far

In line of sight
Sight of the light at The End
With all our might
Fight to let our message send
Over the moon
There’s a shining star
Piper resumes
The tune to take us far

bookmark_borderOne Bright Light

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
No matter how bright it was lit
Insisted on staring right into it
Now I can’t see a thing
Except one bright light
I look to the left of me
I look to the right
All I can see
Is one bright light

Starring the sun right in the eyes
Shouldn’t have come as a big surprise
Now I can’t see a thing
Except one bright light
I look to the left of me
I look to the right
All I can see
Is one bright light

Set my sight for the heart of the sun
Somehow my vision’s come undone
Now I can’t see a thing
Except one bright light
I look to the left of me
I look to the right
All I can see
Is one bright

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Don’t let the get up let up
Can’t let the get up let up
Won’t let the get up let up
Till the get up gets up and goes
Regardless of the throws of the prose
Won’t let up on your get up
Till it goes
If it makes ’em dance
Doing Dos Y Dos
Do they hear the prose?
Ahhh who knows?
That’s why I…
Why I get up

LYRICS
Was it this hot before?
’cause I don’t think I can take any more
Notice we’re on fire?
There’s no denying
Situation’s dire
(We’re on fire!
We’re on fire!)

Remember ole Al Gore?
Should’ve listened to him a little bit more
Call out a denier liar
’cause no denying
Situation’s dire
(We’re on fire!
Denier liar!)

Wonder what’s in store
If all the more we just ignore
Raise alerts higher
I ain’t denying
Situation’s dire
(Denier liar!
We’re on fire!
Alerts higher!)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How can you keep arguing
When all the truth is staring you
Right in the face
This time
This place
Right in my face
This time
Displace
The human race
Ruled this place
For a time
What a crime

How can you keep arguing
When all the truth is staring you
Right in the face
This time
This place
Right in my face
This time
Displace
In every place
They left a trace
Every time
What a crime

How can you keep arguing
When all the truth is staring you
Right in the face
This time
This place
Right in my face
This time
Displace
Mid all their waste
A bad taste
All the time
Such a crime

Such unnecessary
Death penalty
Right in the face
This time
This place
Right in my face
This time
Displace
Mid all their waste
A bad taste
All the time
Such a crime
