Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Troubling times
Trolls and mimes
Don’t let some scary clown
Be the one to take you down
Deliver delight into the twilight
Of man
(If I can!)
Collective conscious (ness)
The light in us
Time to redefine a fine shine
Time for the brightest lights
Ignite (Ignite)
Among billions
The shines combine
And I find I’m…
We’re more than minions
The billions
For a fine shine combine

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Sloppy or nearly
Close to perfection
Art not thou art?
Our creation
Wherefore art thou, art
Be you the tile in style
The style in the tile
… the missing peace
Hand still grease pencil
Trace
… the missing place
Still, hand, still
Release
… the missing piece
Cut to the groove
Remove
The missing piece
Perfect fit
Is it
Sloppy or nearly art
… isn’t this where we’d start?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Adding fuel to the fire
Energy transformed
(You’re getting warm)
To make time transpire
To awake time… transpire
How much “would”
Would a dumb-#uck chuck
If a dumb-chuck could
How much “would”
Would a would-chuck chuck
How much fire will transpire
See the reality of the energy
Burn in front of me
And yes it does reside
Inside
Of me

When there was
“Could have been”
Then,

If and can be
From see to shining see
Out from under

Out from under
The shadow
No more know knowledgology no
Now, only
If’s and can be’s
Can my mind’s-eye foresee
Come to be

Peace on Earth. Goodwill toward men.
Amen.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Still the question lingers
Should I watch my fingers?
After all,
What about “keep your eye on the ball”?
Watch you might poke an eye out?
What are you talking about
I’m just having some fun
(When all’s said and done)

Let’s hear you cry “live and let die”
After all,
So what if you fall?
You might poke your “I” out, kid
Big deal… so what if I did?
When all is said and done
… just having a little fun

LYRICS
You turn me on
And cut to the quick
You turn me on
And bet I’ll be quick
Thin cut or think?
Shaved from the sharpest blade
Diamond, the hardest made
Wet, try not to overheat
Let’s spin and repeat
Start
Cutting through to the heart
Teeth
That bite from beneath
Power
My will devour
Willpower devour
Will power devour
Devour our our

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Thinking good and thinking plenty
Everybody’s ready
To cease the battle for peace
Everybody’s release

Thinking good and I’m thinking plenty
Everybody’s ready
Cease the war to enforce peace
Everybody’s release

Everybody’s been getting ready
Increase in pressure is steady
Everybody’s been getting ready
Dead on course and holding steady

We share this same ship
Shipshape or deep shit
Hitchhikers on rock #3
Blue due to sky and sea
Hurling through time and space
Wondering who stays in place

LYRICS
It’s a little slippery
A fine line
Between (the seen/scene)
Myself, I and me
Slippery
I see
On the back of an envelope
Slope
Slippery slope
As easy
As A + B
Double dared… squared
E = em… I see
E = mc2
Now, I see
Time/space continuum reality
Now, on the curve
Too late to survive?
The chaos within us
Slippery… I see

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Raise your cup
Joy’s what’s up
Can you hear it
In the spirit
Can you feel it?

The shepherds herd it
And they all came ’round
The angels heard it
And they all came down

Wisemen foresaw it
So they all came to town
The heaven’s saw it
So they all shined down

Joseph and Mary
Bore more than just Merry
Giving birth
To Peace On Earth

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The was light
The night was dark
On a lark
Thought I might
Have come down to Earth
Home of my birth

World spinning round
Ain’t slowing down
Hard to tell
If she’s doing well
Have come down to Earth
Home of my birth

Hand of man
Does all he can
TO get his thrill
From “Kill, kill, kill!”
Have come down to Earth
Home of my birth

Mother Earth
Please forgive
For we know not
What we did
Have come down to Earth
Home of my birth

LYRICS
I was about to say
That canine of mine
But maybe
It’s the other way
Around
Who found who?
Tell me true
I love you
Who found who?

A better friend than any man can
Never run and hide
Always by my side
Wanna go for a ride?
Who found who?
Tell me true
I love you
Who found who?

I’m told
It’s a dog eat dog world
How bold
They scold
Yet fulfill the roll
Who found who?
Tell me true
I love you
Who found who?

LYRICS
No castle walls nor cannon balls
Invade the space
Of freedom’s place
No king reigns over (Be the lover)
Freedom rains down (On our town)
Discover minds blown (Seeds sown)
Inner peace release
The last is first (Quenched thirst)
Meek inherit the Earth (New birth)
In the eyes of skies
The glorious “why’s”
Absorb the wise

LYRICS
After all
This is the Holiday Ball
Christmas Party
To see
Us into the new year
Do you hear?
Sleigh bells ringing
Children singing
Do you hear
All of us here
All of us
Partake in solstice
It’s a give-and-take
Partake
Solstice
All of us
That’s how it is
The 12 Days
Celebrated in so many ways
A Christmas Ball for all
Holiday dance
For any circumstance
Solstice justice
From the darkest day… away
Into the light
Into delight
