bookmark_borderThat’s Not My Dog

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
That dog, I love her
She loves me, too
Everything I wanna do
She wants to do, too
Don’t know about you
I’m tempted for two
But ‘cha know
She’s just right
So, I just might
Let it grow
Don’t know about you
When Man’s best friend is in view

(Inspector Clouseau) “I thought you said your dog….”
(Inn Keeper) “That is not my dog.”

I’ve got the dog-gone-it blues
Noooo… please don’t confuse
With the dog days of summer
That dog’s gone
What a bummer
Now, I might need three
To get me
Through the night
Yes, that’s right
A 3 dog night
Alright!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What did you say…
Can I give you the time of day?
(The least I could do
For you)
1, 2, 3, 4
It’s time for sure
1, 2, 3, 4
It’s time for more
… 2, 3, 4
OK?
Does the time and a rhyme
Suit?
(Don’t want the boot
Rather cahoot
With you)
If so, you know
… 2, 3, 4
Give me some more
I’m awash in time
I’m lost in time

LYRICS
Maybe not the first try
But if you try, try, try
The solution for why
Is going to stop on by
Swerve on the learning curve
Till you get to know the flow
You’ve got to hold on tight, right?
And know when to let go
Let go!

Maybe not the first time
But if you keep tryin’
Stop worrying ’bout dyin’
Everything will turn out fine

I knew you would get it
As you drew near to persevere
Now we’ll never forget it
Open when the zen is here

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Where are you headed
Is it on the way
Our parting’s dreaded
Why don’t you stay
Rather kiss you
Than to miss you
I don’t know why
You say goodbye
I’m feeling bye is bad
I’m feeling oh so sad
Think of all the time we could of had

Where are you going
Why don’t you stay
Hearts will be owing
Lonelier by the day
Shaking my head
At death’s bed
Asking why you had to die
Dead
{sigh}

LYRICS
If it’s a minor offense
Why take such offense
Such a major offense
If it’s a minor offense
Why take offense
Defensive is what it is
For sure
Your posture
Pasteurized
Posturing
Past your eyes
Yes it is
Defensive
Past your eyes
Posturing

LYRICS
Hey, the final countdown?
Say, it’s coming ’round?
Hey, the final countdown?
Say, is it going ’round?
If we’re all going up
See opportunity
And raise our cup
If we’re all going up
Seize opportunity
And raise our cup

Wait! You have to wait
Wait! Please hesitate

No! I don’t want to go
Know I don’t want to go
So, the message they send
Whoa! It’s The End

LYRICS
Sunset
Gonna get
One step
Closer by a day
Sunset
Quota me
No regret
We’re on our way
Who’s to say
Our days are numbered?
Don’t count
The amount left wondered
After all
Nightfall
Roll call
Let the music play
Nightfall
Natural
Miracle
To live another day

LYRICS
Don’t you think that is plenty
Maybe one too many
In the front seat
I mean… what a crowd
Getting loud
In the front seat
The siren’s gains are steady
Oh, Lord! I’m not ready
Pull over, Son
Your fun is done
According to code
Overload
Over the “dear” limit
Even if you had a purrr-mit
Oh, Lordy, locking me…
Up… throwin’ away the key

LYRICS
Poked and prodded
It’s time to go
Choked left rotted
With the wind, blow
One more time
Going to levy one more fine
Not the norm
Your lot does not conform

Not a dimwit
I can take a hint
Don’t throw a fit
Hit steel to flint
(chorus)

Feel the clown
Being run out of town
When all they did
Is try to live
(chorus)

LYRICS
Killer be killer
Sting her
With the stinger
Yellow and black stripes
Running up and down her length
The man with the nerve gripes
She inserts the venom (in him) with strength
You thinking to buzz
Is all she does?
If you ask me
What she’s come to be
Is a killer be killer
Try n’ thrill her
Might just kill ya
Killer be killer

LYRICS
Would you ever
Is it clever
Or just closer
To the edge
On the ledge
Jump or lump
Would you ever
Could it never
Be considered
Conjured
Consider it
Considerate
The alphabet
A beta test
For the rest

LYRICS
Do you know? Is it clear?
Where do we go from here
Trepidation and fear
No path is clear
Do you know
Where do we go
From here

Now, just you hush
/bout all that brush
Brush aside and let it ride
Set free machete
Realize
Cut down to size

Forget the bungle
In the jungle
Slash and burn
Blacken churn
We will get you through

LYRICS
Squawk! Jay and hawk
Say, Jay giving the blue away
Giving the blues away
Those birds are not the the feather
Nor does it appear to be whether
After all
The bigger they come the harder they fall
Jay’s giving the blues away
Got to fathom
When I’m part of the equation
When my ass is mass
And I’m momentum
I can see the velocity
p = mv
p = me
After all
The bigger they come the harder they fall
