Hey, Maestro, do you know
Remember how the tune goes
With a familiar beat
That’ll shake your seat

If you’d give us a chance
Make us shake and quake
Take us to the promised land
In the bliss of understand
Hey, Band!

bookmark_borderFalling On Love (Your Dropdead)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m waiting for my heart to start
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead
Without a doubt the hardest part
Is waiting form my heart to start
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead
About to find out what it’s all about
Slipping on love fits like a glove
Slipping on love
I’m falling
Nature’s calling
I’m falling
… on love

Became aware — in need of air
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead
Without a doubt
Oxygen’s rare
Indeed in need
Of some air
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead

It doesn’t matter who you are
Would someone give me CPR
Mouth-to-mouth hasn’t worked so far
Defibrillator’s subpar
Without a doubt the hardest part
Is waiting form my heart to start
You’re dropdead
Your dropdead

LYRICS
Well, then…
Can I Get an “Amen”?
Have I got to say it again
Amen!
Who’s the cause of sufferin’?
A men
Who’s sin is going to do me in?
A men
Who does all the pollutin’?
A men
Who does all the shootin’?
A men
Who does all the beatin’?
A men
Who does all the cheatin’?
A men
I heard what you said
Please bow your head
Dear Lord,
Fell overboard
S.O.S.
We fools lost our souls
Hearts of holes
Save our souls
Well, then…
Can I Get an “Amen”?
Say it again
Amen!

Who would have thought
Someone like me
In the presence of one
Lovely
At the pearly gate
Lift the world’s weight
Thank God no more wait
Lift the world’s weight
(The foreverness
Of weightless
Wait less
Lessness)

I’d get to see
The evolution of

Who would have thought
I would ever be
The same and one
As lovely

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The wait n’ see
Is gettin’ to me
Transparency
Of hypocrisy
Laissez-faire
Market place
Not so fair
Human race
Is it any surprise
When the masses arise
Institutional
Revolution all

Let it be
All set free
Tyranny Irony
Dare compare
Then and now
No one there
Can say how

Better be careful what we wish for
Might be something we can’t endure
But, when there’s a problem we can’t ignore
Going to fight for right… that’s for sure

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Catastrophe in the canopy
Nearly every tree falling down on me
A calliope tragedy

Everyday matter-of-fact lumber jack
Heed the crack, fear the whack, panic attack
The only think I lack… sharpened axe

Now to figure how to forge my plow
Into a share that all can share
Become aware
Of the sound of that falling tree

Though the forest is more dense than most
It still can boast to be the host
Of every falling tree

Understanding last man standing
Ultimately if that is me
Then, who will hear my falling tree?

Catastrophe in the canopy
Nearly every tree falling down on me
A calliope tragedy
Round and round our solar sound
Merry-go-round bound for found
Will I be the last tree
(Standing, standing, understanding standing)

LYRICS
Have you ever had a vision
On which you dwell
Time for a decision
Time to propel
Over, under in betwixt
Going to take a shot
An envision fix

Have you ever had a dream
ON which you dwell
Had time to build up steam
Time to propel
Over, under, in between
No reason not
Your slate’s come clean

Have you ever glimpsed the future
As Man’s living hell
But know we hold the feature
To make it turn out well
Over, under in betwixt
Going to take a shot
An envision fix

LYRICS
“Hey there! Can you keep it down?”
Hey there
Take a look around
Hey there
Nothing’s found
Can’t keep the temperature down
Look around
Nothing’s found
To keep the temperature down
Can’t beat the heat

We love to spew
We do. We do
Skew the new
We do. We do
Pollute our habitat
Imagine that
That that’s where we’re at
Stupid primate changed the climate
Can’t keep the temperature down
Look around
Nothing’s found
To keep the temperature down
Can’t beat the heat
Going to have to admit defeat

LYRICS
Just realizing
Temperature’s rising
You’re so hot
Better not… leave you alone
Better not
Way too hot

Start to see the relevance
Of leaving you to the elements
You’re so hot
Better not… leave you alone
Calamity zone
I just can’t leave you alone
Better not
Way too hot

98, 99, 100 degrees
Bi-polar opposite of deep freeze
You’re so hot
Better not… leave you alone
Searing bone
I just can’t leave you alone
Better not
Way too hot

Yes it’s true “all dogs go to heaven”
But it’s up to you not to bake ’em in an oven
I’m casualty prone
Just can’t leave you alone
You’re so hot
Better not… leave you alone
Better not
Way too hot

If not already here / hear
The path is clear
When you’re already there
Aware

All share

If you’re already here / hear
No need to steer

LYRICS
Out from under
The stress of duress
Puzzle pieces jell
Out of the mess
Finally, we see
What shall be
Completely
Arrive at the perfect place
In the human race

Out of wonder
Ask the question
Please do tell
I’m up for suggestion

In the clear
See fro miles
No fear
From ear to ear
The child smiles

LYRICS
With an up and down
Strumming sound
Trying to find the tone
Trying to find the zone

Pick glides
Across 6-stings
Fingers slide
Guitar sings
Getting into the tone
Getting into the zone

Can you join in and help me sing?
I’ll see what my heart and soul can bring
We can all get the good news out
That love, love, love is what it’s all about
Going for a ride
Ends on the other side
Going for a ride
Starts on the other side

88 keys if you please
Trying to find the tone
Trying to find the zone

Rhythm and choose
Blues or good news?
Getting into the tone
Getting into the zone

All is a stage
C. A. G. E.
Come out of the cage
See what it is to be
Come out of the cage
Out of your cage
All is a stage

It’s that easy
They say all play
Come out of the cage
Onto the stage

It’s so freeing
Cage free is for me
In my being
Out of the cage
On the stage

LYRICS
Am I getting hard
Heart’s grown scarred
Been happening ever since
I lost my innocence
Am I growing cold
As I’m growing old
Been happening ever since
I lost my innocence
Turning back the page
To an early age
Make the decision
To go pre-cynicism

With a slip of the tongue
I’m getting young
Been happening ever since
I found my innocence
If you want to engage
Forget your age
Be happening ever since
You found your innocence
Turning back the page
To an early age
Make the decision
To go pre-cynicism
Turning back the page
Back to page one
Page one won
