Posted on by admin

LYRICS
That’s one fearsome wind
Blowin’ in
Leaving the flow
Of an icicle
You know…
Where tears of joy have been
Moving out of reach
From the Reaper’s sickle

Soon we’ll discover
The storm’s blown over
Soon the winds will calm
And the threat will move on
To once again enjoy
Our tears of joy
Moving into reach
Of the owning of each

Now we found out
What life’s all about
Feelings that giving makes
Out-weighs those from the takes
Getting what you deserve
Depends on how you serve
Knowing we won’t miss
The spirit of Christmas

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: Alternative Rock / Progressive Folk
Chords: Fm Bb9 / C7 Bb Fm
Recording: original take / live digital 1-track stereo

LYRICS
Doing the dance
Along the circumference
Of the circle of life
Don’t know where to begin
Then, again
Don’t know where to end
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows

Doing the dance
Along the circumference
Of the circle of life
Keep it low on strife
Keep it high ’round the bend
Don’t know where to begin
Then, again
Don’t know where to end
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows

Searching for the part
Where does it start
Getting a little skittish
’bout finding the finish
Round and round it goes
Where it stops… nobody knows

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As one that has always marveled
At a road less traveled
I love the pace of a race
Blasting off in outer space
Time to get ’round
To our countdown
10,9,8
Too late to wait

Bored to death here on Earth
Ready for interstellar birth
Fly right on by
Our blue sky
None to soon
Zoom past the moon
Time to get ’round
7,6,5
Into overdrive
4,3,2,1
It’s how the race is run
It’s how the race is won
It’s how the race is one

LYRICS
Are you sleeping
Jack Frost’s creeping
Jack Frost’s nipping
Your nose knows
And, we don’t want Jack
To bite tonight

North wind’s blowing
Winter’s coming
Sky is clearing
Stars are shinning
And, we don’t want Jack
To bite tonight

Painting patterns in vain
On our window pane
Grace with lace… icing
As angels sing

LYRICS
Not sure
There’s a greener pasture
No, I’m not sure
Hence
Then on this side of the fence
My circumstance
The date to appreciate
The date is immediate
The rate we’ll accelerate
Before it’s too late

Turning green
With an envy sheen
Know what I mean?
Cries and moans
Keeping up with the Jones
Cries and moans
Just for fun
Bet you can’t eat just one
One and done
Eyes will bake
More than tummy can take
The date to appreciate
The date is immediate
The rate we’ll accelerate
Before it’s too late

LYRICS
No more coming back from war
With a battle scar
Battle scarred
Rattled n’ marred
No more raping and pillaging
Going back for more
Coming back from afar
Forget who you are?
Trying to find our way
To a pure and peaceful day

’tis the season
To find a reason
Find our way clear
To spread some cheer
’tis the season
To find a reason
Keep searching till
We spread goodwill

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can anyone tell me
What this is?
Entertainment
… some sort-of show biz?
Can anybody tell me
Is this the show?
Can somebody tell me
I want to know
Somehow
I thought there’d be more
Than Sodom and Gomorrah
Alt-right and spite
Blood and gore
If I might…
If it’s alright
… I thought I might
Write
… a better ending:
Love and the message sending
If complete, something sweet
You join in, too?
The End

LYRICS
Delightning
Enlightening
Put my eye to the keyhole
Put my ear to the rail
Want to see the part and whole
On the head, hit the nail
Never fail to see the light
Seal the deal and wrap it tight

Hold my finger to the wind
From which direction has it been?
Will it pass n’ keep on going
Will I grasp a sense of knowing?
Never fail to see the light
Seal the deal and wrap it tight
Delightning
Enlightening

LYRICS
What do I feel?
Can it be real?
Can not be sensed
Yet… existence
Taking relief

It is for real
A feeling of love
Descends from above
Now to begin
Transcending within

Please don’t let it be a tragedy
You crying over me
Needn’t be the destiny

Aspire to travesty?

Kindly
In the spirit
Hear it

LYRICS
Did I create the landscape
From which I can’t escape
Now to feed
On tumbleweed
And for dessert desert
(… and then desert
For dessert)

Is the solution to the pollution
At the source?
… ahhh of course
Coarse
Rubbing me the wrong way
Hey!
Coarse
Gotta live abrasive
Now I lust
For a mouth free of dust

LYRICS
Might be a waste
If you’re going to space
In search of monsters and aliens
They might already be
Where you’ve been

Space monster you got!
Go get? You wont want
What you’ve already got

LYRICS
Come on!
More On!
More on, less off
Let the first to scoff
Cast the first rock
Throw the first “cast in stone”
Stand alone
Did you check… is it plugged in?
Might want to check again
Has the power light been lit
… for a bit?
What have you got
Is the outlet hot
Come on!
More On!
Do you know fortissimo
… pianissimo?
I don’t know
Disregard…
Fade and retard. (Ritardando)

LYRICS
What’s your best pick
From your bag of tricks?
Seems over packed
Pulling at the seams
How about some vanishing creams
I’d love to disappear from here

What’s your best pick
From your bag of tricks?
Tired of “what the heck”s
And the bouncing checks
How about some x-ray specks
I’d love to see clear from here

What’s your best pick
From your bag of tricks?
Making the motion
For the solution
I’ve the notion it’s a love potion
I’d love to love near to here
