One Of Those

Posted on March 25, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Yes, I suppose
I’m one of those
Though if I chose
Avoid the woes / whoas
Of segmentation
Generalization
Invalidation
Segmentation
Damn damnation

Yes, I suppose
I’m one of those
I’ve got 10 toes
Eyes and a nose
What segmentation
Of civilization
Regurgitation
Segmentation
Damn damnation

Yes, I suppose
I’m one of those
Is it my clothes
Or the wind blows…
Your imagination
To segmentation
Invalidation
Segmentation
Damn damnation

LYRICS
Love
Love at first sight
Kiss her goo night
Forget the fright
Step out of the light
You know…
Into the afterglow
Stars
Stars in your eyes
You did
Oh how cupid…
Tries
Stars
Stars in our I’s

The hearts surprise

Hearts start to understand
Falling in love
How do we land

A Head Ahead

Posted on March 22, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
My mind goes round and round instead
Will I ever get ahead
A head ahead
Fast stead steadfast
Free me at last
(A head ahead)

In the narrow and the straight
Can’t move forward at any rate
Mind goes round and round instead
Will I ever get ahead
A head ahead
Fast stead steadfast
Free me at last
(A head ahead)

In the cold and dark of night
Looking for a sliver of light
In sight insight
A head ahead
Steadfast at last
In sight
A head
Ahead
Insight

Glad You Could Make It (Fascinization)

Posted on March 20, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
I’m glad you made it
Glad you finally made it
To the show
Glad to watch you fade
Made the fade
Into the know
Yearn to learn by experimentation
Add curiosity stimulation
Mix the fix with fascinization

If you were expecting
Except an intermission
Your inner-mission
Face-to-face with outer space
(chorus)

The End. Please come again (again)
Until then… it’s time to begin
(chorus)

In Store For You

Posted on March 20, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Open up your store some more
Swing wide a door / adore
The story of your inventory
The glory of the body (you embody)

What lurks in your works
What do you mean “ghost in the machine”?

[Jam]

Unlock the lock to your stock
Out of the closet under your drawers

Set sail to unveil
Make certain “behind the curtain”

Beatific

Posted on March 18, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
I’m happy to be here
Am seeing the air clear
The future is near
The present I hear
The place to “me be”
Relent to the present
Strive to ride alive
Till the beginnings arrive
I’m happy to see clear
With mortals all mere
The place to be of we
Relevant in present

Lapse In Memory

Posted on March 17, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
I forget what I was going to say
I forget what I was going to play
Then, it all comes rushing back
… all comes flooding back
Lapse in memory attack

I forget what I was going to do
Please tell me, tell me, tell me true
Then, it all comes rushing back
… all comes flooding back
Lapse in memory attack

Hands are wrung on the tip-of-my-tongue
Mental trip… more than a Freudian slip
Then, it all comes rushing back
… all comes flooding back
Lapse in memory attack
Lapse
Hard to grasp
Think fast

I forget what I was thinking of…
Of course, what other than a song of love
Yeah, it all comes rushing back
… all comes flooding back
Lapse in memory attack
Mem-or-me

Abby Somebody

Posted on March 15, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Abby Somebody
Just a brain
Caught in the reign
To restrain
Is Abby somebody?
In the eye-of-the storm
Not of the norm
At all
Not normal?
Take a stab
Ab…
In total
Not normal
When they were passing out brains
I thought they said trains
There’s already toys in my attic
Not really sick
The joys
Rearrange strange
Paranormal strain
Just a brain
Abby Somebody
Is that body me, Abby?

Minced Meet

Posted on March 15, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Are you going to mince our meet
Getting dicey with your words
How absurd
How to greet
Getting blurred
Our minced meet
Grind
Do you mind
Slice and dice
Realize pulverized
I find the grind
Pulverized realized
Real eyes
See me
Cut to the chase
Beyond two face
Rate… straight
From the horse’s mouth
Never… on the 12th…
Of never
Ever life’s wealth

Playing For Change

Posted on March 15, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Only halfhearted is sometimes
Can’t get started with his rhymes
Whines he’s fallen on hard times
What’s he going to do
If he can’t think of something “knew”
Rocking for good times
Nickles and dimes
For paying my dues
For playing the blues

Afraid to give it his all
Afraid he’s going to fall
Stammer and stutters to stall
What’s he going to do
If he can’t think of something “knew”
Rocking for good times
Nickles and dimes
For paying my dues
For playing the blues

Going full throttle at all time
Strumming rhythms, spitting rhymes
Signs we’re coming on good times
Knowing what to do
Thinking of something “knew”
Rocking for good times
Nickles and dimes
For paying my dues
For playing the blues

Every Body

Posted on March 14, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Everybody,
Every body will lose their soul
Every sole
I took a stance
At first glance
I had to change my mind
The toll of immortal
Just wouldn’t be kind
My skin will wear thin
My heart might start
To skip a beat
Prone to bone…
Loss from head to feet
Looky there
Too late for my hair
Everybody,
Every body will lose their soul
Every sole

Playing With Matches

Posted on March 13, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
I see you want to play with fire
Brought the matches to aspire
Spark into dark ignite
Add light for insight
Enlighten some
And sum
Then some sum

Brought the matches
2 of a kind
You brought to mind
Could be 3
I can see
4 maybe more
Batches of matches
Add the tip to friction
In a blip/flip ignition
Light then sum
Light and the some
Enlighten some
Elightensum

Blunder That Unstuck The Glue

Posted on March 12, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Wonder what we’re going to do
Blunder that unstuck the glue
I wonder what we’re going to do…
Do You?

The puzzle pieces in the feces
Square peg in your hole/whole
Indecision takes its toll
Fell to the spell of the troll

The animals now run the zoo

Does anybody have a clue

From the coop the cuckoo flew

The rainbow has lost its hue

Now your know what you never knew

Hurry, hurry stand in cue

Knockout! Not coming to….

Getting Real

Posted on March 11, 2019 by admin

LYRICS
Why in he world
Is everyone asking
What’s the matter with me?
I’m growing old
But still i”m basking
Nothing better to be
Found the real deal
Young as you feel
Getting real

And, why on earth
Is everyone asking
“Can I have what he’s having?”
Ever since birth
Always I’m basking
Getting high on living
Found the real deal
Young as you feel
Getting real

For crying out loud
Don’t brag “I’m proud”
Better to fumble being humble
And for Christ sake
Rather give than take
Let love rain/reign from above
Found the real deal
Young as you feel
Getting real
