LYRICS
One thing leads to another
Brother, it’s easy to see
Connect the dots
Wants to gots
Easy to see
1, 2, 3

One thing leads to another
Mother, you created me
Connect the dots
Wants to gots
Easy to see
1, 2, 3

Nothing is left undone
Son, it’s easy to see
Connect the dots
Wants to gots
Easy to see
1, 2, 3

Starts to flow like water
Daughter, what will you be?
Connect the dots
Wants to gots
Easy to see
1, 2, 3

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
They say that our day
Is only a heartbeat
Only a heartbeat
Away
Sing out throughout the countryside
Sing out both far and wide
Sing out what is inside

They say that our age
Is more than a heartbeat
A collective heartbeat
Play on the world stage
Sing out throughout the countryside
Sing out both far and wide
Sing out what is inside

They say that our way
Could be the last heartbeat
Be the last heartbeat
Frolic in the foray
Sing out throughout the countryside
Sing out both far and wide
Sing out what is inside

They say our heartbeating
Is our only heartbeat
Only our heartbeat
And could be fleeting
Sing out throughout the countryside
Sing out both far and wide
Sing out what is inside

LYRICS
Gullible was a giant
As man is to an ant
A monster among men
No logic to disable
Listened to any rant
Believe it when
Believe it then
Gullible
Gullible’s travels
The ables farewell
Ties him down
While he was dozing
Woke with frown
Simply amazing
No not “can not”

LYRICS
Set adrift on a riff
Setting sail of a tale
See the sea
Within me
Finding out what you’re about
Peace unyielding
Won’t cease
Most revealing
… at least
Give and take
Even on a lake
See the see shanty
I’m to be
If you’re a river
No damn dam
Downstream
Even in a bath
You connect the math

LYRICS
Precariously perched perpendicular
Razor’s edge
On the ledge
Glad I gave balance a chance

Sometimes best if you don’t look down
If there’s a need to focus all around
Glad I gave balance a chance

The outlaw Josey Wales
Spits… evil wails
No need to think
… or blink

On the verge of a surge
On the edge
Commence
Emerge
Glad I gave balance a chance

LYRICS
Have you ever paused to ponder
What might have been
If you’d come alive
Come out hollering and kicking
If you’d have had a life…
A life within it livin’
Jessica,
Would have love to hear you crying
Jessica,
Watched you trying ‘stead of dying

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A mid-life fantasy
Only crisis I see
Is happening to someone…
Younger than me
No need for money
’cause there’s…
No need for a honey
Instead of a fortune going to waste
Going to give real living a taste
(giving into living
participate in give and take)

Fathom the quality
When all you’ve got is quantity
A whole other ditty
About giving pity
This is to be the situation:
A celebration of appreciation

LYRICS
I can see the ripples expanding
Their circumference exploding
Growing ever larger
The shoreline has a charger
An ever wider reach
Reaching the beach
Escaping
Cascading
Realizing
Capsizing

Destination upon the banks
To Neptune give thanks
As we venture onto land
Adventure to understand
Real terrestrial
Surreal celestial
Sending a signal
A message to all
Send a signal
A message for all

LYRICS
The complication
Of the situation
Seeks solution
Perhaps restitution
Into the darkness delves
Save us from ourselves
Misunderstood
Earthling neighborhood
Could, would, should

Rearrange with our climate change
Deranged more than a little strange

Suffice to say divisive
Sacrifice the will to live

LYRICS
Your waves rock me, knock me
Try n’ make me roll
Tell me who made you
Tell me do
Who made you keep of the toll?
It’ain’t always what will float your boat
Sometimes you think
It could sink
No matter however remote
Bow to the bow
‘less the stern get stern
What the heck?
Show a little respect
Karmic “get what you get”
S.O.S.
Your waves rock me, knock me
Try n’ make me roll
I mean God save the Queen
And save our soul
Yes
S.O.S.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A one way ticket
A real go getter
Going to let her
Pick it
Wonder do I get it
Faith in the better
Is a risky endeavor
Remember savor the flavor
No take-backs
Nor do-overs
Can’t relax
As risk hovers

Once you’re there
No going back
Hope I don’t lake the flare
There’s no refund
Can’t be undone
Better be sharp as a razor
Remember savor the flavor
No take-backs
Nor do-overs
Can’t relax
As risk hovers

LYRICS
Got your finger on the button
Launchin’ stinger for a hurtin’

Chorus
Rushin’ toward Armageddon
Here comes the Kingdom
Kingdom come
Blowin’ ’em
To Kingdom Come

Got your finger on the button
Clear nuclear is for certain

Got your finger on the trigger
Placing your bet on Russian roulette

Got your finger on the trigger
Blaze of glory
End of story

LYRICS
I thought things
Couldn’t get any better
Than what they were
Amazings
Doing the go get ‘er
Ends up a blur
Because just like that
I could be splat
Never forget
Windscreen on the bonnet
And I the fly
The fly in I
Can’t yield to the windshield
The windshield will not yield

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
With skin so thin
I can look within
I begin
To see
“What’s inside of me?”
Does my blood run true
I’m asking you
If you can see
What’s inside of me
Is my heart genuine
Can you see within?

It was you
When I could see right through
I had a clue
I should see in me
Too
So, please see it through
Look deep within me
What do you see?
My spirit
Can you hear it?
Can you feel
That I’m real
Taste, touch, smell…
Please tell
