LYRICS
3 crosses up on Calvary
Yet only 1 comes to memory?
All 3 going to meet their maker
The life giver… the life taker
Easy come
Easy go
All in sum/some
Ego

Poet, philosopher, and priest
All will die to say the least
All 3 going to meet their maker
The life giver… the life taker
Easy come
Easy go
All in sum/some
Ego

When the ship is going down
Doesn’t matter which deck you’re on
We all go to meet our maker
The life giver… the life taker
Easy come
Easy go
All in sum/some
Ego

LYRICS
Is there a unicorn
Running around in your garden
Do they mourn
Little green men
Again… with the Martian
Fairy tales
And dragon scales
Up in a puff

Insist that you’re not dreaming
Scheming, those little green men

LYRICS
When down is up
And up is down
Things turn sidewards all around
Can True North be found?

The things I throw out to sea
All come back to me
The things I throw out to see
Come flooding back to me

Turn the hamper upside down
Dirty laundry hits the ground
All all can see your dirty laundry
You’ve come clean for all to see

bookmark_borderHow Does She Roll?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
She’s centered in the middle
Yet still she leaves the riddle
How does she roll
Is there heart in her soul?
Solid as rock
The way she rolls

She’s really down to earth
But for what it’s worth
How does she roll
Is there heart in her soul?
Solid as rock
The way she rolls

She really gets around
Spinning round and round
How does she roll
Is there heart in her soul?
Solid as rock
The way she rolls

From our birth…
… humans…
The heart and soul
Of Mother Earth
Due to birth…
… Earth…
Giving birth
Earth

The way we roll with Mother Earth
Away we roll with Mother Earth

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
That ole ball and chain
Long as it remains
Going to weigh you down
That ole ball and chain
Causing grief and pain
Creates a terminal frown
They say there’s nothing that you can’t
With a lubricant
Do you have it in you
to slip on through
… slip on through

That ole ball and chain
Long as it remains
Going to weigh you down
That ole ball and chain
Hourglass… grain by grain
World stopped turning ’round
With a lubricant
Do you have it in you
to slip on through
… slip on through

That ole ball and chain
Long as it remains
Going to weigh you down
That ole ball and chain
Put ‘er on the last train
And upside down the frown
They say there’s nothing that you can’t
With a lubricant
Do you have it in you
to slip on through
… slip on through

LYRICS
… of the human race
Why so long in the face?
On the dream chase
You’re not off base

… oh my human race
Not a race to disgrace
On the dream chase
You’re not off base

… so, our human race
Could and should make our case
On the dream chase
We’re not off base

… to our human race
We have to the best place
On the dream chase
We’re not off base

LYRICS
Lighten your load
Souls explode
Taken a stroll down sunset road
Ain’t time to begin

Take a stroll down sunrise road
Time to begin
An axis spin
I’m going to keep on movin’

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Quite an abrupt stop
Fall from the top
If you don’t catch a draft
And make it aloft
Your life raft
To a landing oh so soft
Crack a smile
Goes the mile
Create a draft
Make ’em laugh
Humor’s human’s
Secret weapon
… sure does help cure

Strong and steady climb
to the top of your mind
One foot, then another
If you slip, recover
For sure, humor can cure
It’s in our nature
Crack a smile
Goes the mile
Create a draft
Make ’em laugh
Humor’s human’s
Secret weapon
… sure does help cure

From behind a cloud
The sun turned loud
Sunshine time

After the darkest night
Starting to see the light

Passing of wind and rain
Just blue sky remains

Rising high into the sky
Lifting spirits forever high
Sunshine time

LYRICS
On second thought
Why not
Give ‘er another shot
Guess I’ll choose
Shake the blues
What do I have to lose
Now bring it on home
Bring it on home tonight
Alright? Alright!
Can you see the light?
I see the light!
Much to my delight
Tight

LYRICS
Use to be fresh water drinking
Now those days forever shrinking
Thirsting for answers
No “Yes, Sirs”
Know “Yes, Sirs”

Use to be fresh air breathing
Now we’re left forever seizing
(coughing, sneezing)
Gasping for answers
No “Yes, Sirs”
Know “Yes, Sirs”

Use to be diverse eating
Now there’s forever cheating
Hunger for answers
No “Yes, Sirs”
Know “Yes, Sirs”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
With all the kinks
It makes you think
How bizarre
We got this far
Over time
The hate and crime
How bizarre
We got this far
Can’t be selfish all alone
We all live in the same home

Push and shove
No room for love
Hard to say
How we got to today
All I see
Is me, me, me
Hard to say
How we got to today
Can’t be selfish all alone
We all live in the same home

LYRICS
Last mistake
Won’t get another chance
The uptake
It’s time to die or dance
The cost of our carbon dioxide
Produced by our ride
The lost of do’s have come due
Can’t breath
Turning blue
Need more O2

Last mistake
Won’t get another chance
The uptake
It’s time to die or dance
Went insane with our methane
Blew is out our a$$
Ego eating upper class
Can’t breath
Turning blue
Need more O2

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Putting my ear to the rail
Trying to hear if it’s real
In search of the human tale
Putting my ear to the ground
Trying to hear what’s around
In search of the human tale
Where did they go wrong
Can it be found
Where did they fail
The human tale
The black swan’s sad song
A haunting sound
Ego too frail
Lost their tail
Ego too frail
And what id did
Lost their tale

LYRICS
That last nor’easter
Sure kicked us in the keister
Thunder and lightning striking
Hair raising… frightening
Storm chasing days are over
Now, I’m running for cover

Did you see that funnel cloud
Roaring out loud
Thunder and lightning striking
Hair raising… frightening
Storm chasing days are over
Now, I’m running for cover

Whipping winds, driving rains
Hope they find my remains
Thunder and lightning striking
Hair raising… frightening
Storm chasing days are over
Now, they did discover
Figured out my whereabouts
A brain storm
Brainstorm
Out of the norm
