Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Like a bat out of hell
Flying
Say that it’s just as well
Dying
If they crucify
Won’t you please come back again
Eye for an eye
Left us all in sin
Instead of being kind
Now we’re all blind

Sometimes it’s hard to tell
Whying
Believe in what they sell
Lying

Hoping we adjust to jell
Jamming
Coming out of you shell
Awing
Jaw dropping

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Pitter patter of the rain
On the rooftop
Drip drop
Helter skelter of the brain
Going flip-flop
Drip drop
Is the weather messing with emotion
Don’t know whether confessing’s a solution

Not another dreary day
Under black cloud
Fog’s shroud
Send blue skies on their way
Clear blue
For you

Finally turning fair
Sunshine
Feels fine
Find your happiness there
Feel fine
It’s time

LYRICS
The rain is poundin’ down again
Doesn’t it seem bizarre
Where do you think we are?
The rain is pourin’ in again
Doesn’t it seem bizarre
Where do you think we are?

Always after the flood
UP to my ass in mud
Stuck trying to understand
Reigning over the land

The wind is wailing in again
The wind whipping eye/I again

The sky is crying once again
The wind is howling hard again

Posted on by admin

Traditional Folk Song

  G                                  D
 When I was young I used to wait
                                 G
 On the master and hand him his plate,
G7                                     C
And Pass the bottle when he got dry,
        D                        G
 And brush away the blue tail fly.

G                                   D
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
                              G
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
G7                                 C
Jimmy crack corn and I don't care,
       D              G
My master's gone away.

And when he ride in the afternoon,
I follow with a hickory broom;
The pony being very shy,
When bitten by the blue tail fly.

One day he rode around the farm,
The flies so numerous they did swarm;
One chanced to bite him on the thigh.
The devil take that blue tail fly.

The pony run, he jump and pitch,
And tumble mater in the ditch;
He died, and the jury wondered why;
The verdict was the blue tail fly.

They buried him 'neath the sycamore tree -
His epitaph there for to see:
"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie,
The victim of a blue-tailed Fly."

Quick! ’cause the evening

Before it gets too dark
Light it up… strike a spark

Aware it’s there

LYRICS
Playing the game did you get your fill
Staying the same stuck in overkill
Filling shoes ’til your time comes due
No! Biding time just won’t do
Given a moment of movement
Moving mountains in the time lent

Wilding the tame open up the cage
Freeing wild game on the world stage
Bobbing and weaving you can’t catch me
Tasting freedom only want to be free
Given a moment of movement
Moving mountains in the time lent

LYRICS
Cruising along
Did you check your gauge
Cruising along
Did you check your age
’cause you can’t go pass
When you’re out of gas
No you can’t go home
When your tank’s dry as a bone

Playing along
Did you check your gauge
Playing along
Did you check your age
’cause you can’t play loud
When your data’s lost in the cloud
No one hears what you said
When your battery’s dead

Filling up
Topping off the tank
Charging up
The electric spank
If you want to go fast
And you want it to last
Don’t want to be the fool
Running out of fuel

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is that right?
Is that what they say
Is that right
Righteousness right this way
I should have seen it coming
The proof is in the pudding
Righteousness oozing and running
Is that right?
Is that what they say
Is that right?
Well, that’s not O.K.
Is that right?
Brain farted delay
Is that right?
Not right! Touché
Is that right?
Righteous decay

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Pollinating pistil plays
SO sticky stigma stays
Blooming blossom strays
Watching,
The whirlwind carries
Winds of chaos blowing
The nectar us flowing

Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall
Love the seasons… love them all
But, there’s nothing like the fairies ball

Looking for them
Here they come
One-by-one
Listening for them
The sound true
As they sing out
Two-by-two
Feeling for them
Feeling me
As they reach out
Three-by-three
Multiplying
Here come more
Spreading out
Four-by-four

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
So cruel
When you want to rule
The World
Control
The only goal
When you want to rule
The World
Here’s the thing
If your birth on Earth
Is to be her King
Relent
Your real worth
Paying rent
As servant

The fool
Who wants to rule
The world
Your gain is insane
When you want to rule the world
(chorus)

A mule
When you want to rule the world
Born stubborn
When you want to rule the world
(chorus)

LYRICS
One way or another
Going to find out
What it’s all about
One day if not sooner
Going to find out
Remove any doubt
Open and close the door
Until there aren’t any more

One way or another
Let’s figure out
What it’s all about
I’ll sing it in song
While you sing along
You can even shout!

LYRICS
What do you think
Going with instinct
Before you can blink
Start
Look in your heart
Luck
That’s in your gut
In such
Contact the love above

What do you think
Basic instinct
Her nod and wink

What do you think
Collective link
Souls in sync

What do you think
Swim or sink
Drown or drink

LYRICS
Many a mile
And millions of mouths
To feed
Try and smile
And millions in wealth
Secede
How I yearn to learn
Why the empires burn?
An age old riddle
Why does Nero fiddle?

Far and wide
There’s millions of minds
To feed
Still they hide
Their millions all kinds
Don’t need
(chorus)

Near and far
There’s millions of hearts
To feed
Still they starve
There’s millions of parts
That bleed
(chorus)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You know it must be getting deep
Catch yourself running
In your sleep
Blood curdling scream
Doesn’t make a peep
Time to awake
The reality leap
You know it must be getting weird
While you’re dreaming
You grew a beard
First day of class
And as you feared
Naked, lost
The room cleared

Wake up and dream
Be the light beam
Rise up — the cream
Blow off — the steam
