Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What shall we do
The morning dew
Is due
To be through
Put to an End
A tragic send

What can we say
The midday sway
Gone away
I heard it said
“Put to bed”
[Instrumental Break]

What did we do
The nighttime view
Obscured blurred
A mar on far
To close to home
Soon left alone

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Maybe I should just borrow a verse
From a parallel universe
A place where they shake-off the hate
And throw the glow of heavenly love

Embrace the human race
Leave bias without a trace
Let everybody’s heart beat true
May that include me and you

An unrehearsed second verse
… the same parallel universe
A place where they shed off the dread
Live life to the fullest ’till they’re dead

Well, it’s come time for the final verse
… from a parallel universe
Before our times come to The End
What’s the message that we send?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The beginning is over
The ending has begun
Find a four leaf clover
And let your luck run
Choose your poison
Let’s have some fun
Better reason
Then the barrel of a gun

The End is starting
The beginning is done
Find a penny shinning
And let your luck run
Choose your poison
Let’s have some fun
Better reason
Then the barrel of a gun

The End is starting
The beginning is done
Before our departing
Let your luck run, run
Choose your poison
Let’s have some fun
Better reason
Then the barrel of a gun

LYRICS
Don’t let the sand slip through hourglass
In “The End” it’s up to you
How times pass
… into the past
In the balance, doom and gloom
Versus being prepared
If you’ve dared
Is your list at risk?
For sure, the future is present
… in our presence

LYRICS
Damn! In them thar hills
Lays the cure for all that ills
Going to make that mine all mine
From now till The End of Time
Headed for golden ore
Opened door
Tempting lure
On the quest for some more
Fell afoul to the core

Do you know what I mean?
Their grass is (always) more green
So, I’m going to search for gold
Till I grow tired, weary, and old
Headed for golden ore
Opened door
Tempting lure
On the quest for some more
Fell afoul to the core

LYRICS
Well, what have we…
What have we…
What have we here
What?
Hear

When my innards get out
And, outside gets in
When there is no doubt
About the thickness of my skin
After “The End” begins
It gets late for realizing
Life is surprising
Take it

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In The End
It’s the living that kills you
The heartbeat beats you
And the voodoo habits of “do”
Not if… a matter of when
Then,
In The End
It’s the living that kills you
After all,
It’s not the fall
In fact,
It’s the impact
Might as well ride
What is inside
In The End
What it’s all about
Comes out

LYRICS
In the thick of things
Synapse sings
Synchronicity brings
Heartbeat pings

For the love of man
Try to understand
The time is at hand

In the thick of things
Alarm bell rings
Serendipity brings
Heartbeat pings
(chorus)

Emotions are thick
Time to think quick
Choice is of the pick
Make the logic stick
(chorus)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
There’s one thing in life that’s for sure
You’ve got to love love…
And all that’s in store
Never know when you’ll hit the floor
Soon you’ll be knocking on heaven’s door
Just like that
Right back for more

Dear God,
I pray you recycle
Don’t want to be Gabriel or Michael
A highfalutin angel or laudy daudy
I want flesh and bone… give me a body
Same as before
Just like that
Right back for more

Appreciate what I’ve been given
But, I can’t get enough of this living
Never bored to death nor to die for
Not “The End”… to be continued… another door
Just like that
Right back for more
Just like that….

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Dropped the sway?
Walk this way
Pick up the peaces
Life’s leases
Needle and thread
Sow your bed
Lament on the spent
Just to the extent
Of once
Else, dunce
Same mistake twice
A half-baked device
(Call that a vice?)
Dropped puzzle pieces
The awe of jigsaw
Pick up the peaces
The zen back when
Make it happen again
If you could see
What I saw
See saw
Dropped puzzle pieces
Pick up the peaces
Life’s leases

LYRICS
Wrap yourself in your birthday suit
Christmas is on its way
For at the core… at the root
The birth is the day
[The birthing earthling
To day, today, too day]
The day you were born
And now forever yearn
We learn
Heaven and hell torn

In “The End” the message you send
It the answer you receive
And would you believe
The message your receive
Do you believe?
(Miss Christmas)

LYRICS
Too short on the short
Too long the too long
I must be moving on
In short, so long

The time is ripe to move along
Bring the hype into the song
Open the door
Explore for more
You’ll see…
It’s meant to be
BE

Can’t be rescinded
The way too long long-winded
No. Can’t be really wrong
In short, so long

Said it once, why say it again
Let’s end “The End”
Begin begin
Get it on
Bang a gong
In short, so long

LYRICS
Gentlemen, start your engines
(Fossil fuel fool)
Unlock the dino’s from their dungeons
(Fossil fuel fool)

Dinosaurs take back the planet
As if we didn’t really plan it?
I’m a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

The “Damn Age” inflictin’ damage
Cry of privilege in an outrage
I’m a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

Sniffing their fumes while “The End” looms
Brain is dead before the corpse is bled
I’m a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

Rev the engine again and again
’til the smell of Jurassic makes you sick
I’m a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

LYRICS
Human says:
What are you eating under there
Are you aware
What you’re eating under there?
Dog replies:
Underwear? Why do you stare?
Underwear? Relative to where?

Human says:
What are you eating under there
Do you even care
What are you eating under there
Eat it raw. Eat it rare.
What you’re eating under there?
Dog relies:
Underwear? Why do you stare?
Underwear? Relative to where?

Human says:
What are you eating under there
Why wont you even share
What you’re eating under there?
Dog relies:
Underwear? Why do you stare?
Underwear? Relative to where?

Human and dog say:
It all comes out in The End
The truth comes out in The End

LYRICS
1) Spent too many days home alone
Waiting on some telephone
Condition of death prone
Chorus:
When it comes to The End
Best thing for heart’s mend
Man’s best of friends
Maybe man’s only friend?

2) People want to stare and gawk
Behind your back talk, talk, talk
Think it’s time to take you for a walk
(chorus)

3) People want to chastise me
No, they won’t let me be
All you want’s the closest tree
(chorus)

4) Oh, oh dog gone it!
Forget the people flaunted
Nevermore to be wanted
(chorus)
