LYRICS
Is anybody upstairs
Is anybody there
Putting faith in nothing
Anticipating something

Though we’re spinning round and round
We’re looking upward to be found
Rotations never slowing down
Going round and round

The logic of God is odd
Living for the approval nod
Selfish expression of sole sacrifice
Sugar and spice and everything nice

Is a supernatural being
Being natural at all?
No touching, hearing or seeing
Are you testing my gall?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I can’t find the words to say
It makes me want to holler
No, I can’t find the words today
Yet, collect another dollar

No matter what I say you come through everyday
No matter what I do… you come through
It give me hope in humanity
Helps me keep my sanity

I wish the lyrics would come on quick
Full of soul and wit
I know once the thoughts start to flow
Music will sway me to and fro

You take my square peg writer’s block
Out of my head’s round hole
You help pull my soul
With a tinge of ole’ folk rock

Another Dollar.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
I was sitting on the wall of the courthouse trying to write this song. No words were coming to the chords I was strumming. After about 45 minutes a lady approached me and said, “Thank you for your music. We were sitting behind you.” Then, she asked if she could give me money.

LYRICS
If we want the human race
To endure for sure
Why not get ’em to laugh
… and, get ’em to laugh some more

Laughter our weapon on terror
Laughter the best deterrent to war

Laughter will trump the fear
Laughter shields those we hold dear

Laughter is what we’re after
Bring on the laughter faster and faster

Laughter – the best medicine
Bring on the laughter again and again

The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter. — Mark Twain

LYRICS
Greener pasture in store
Blue sky horizon (eyes on) high
Find a better way for me to throw this clay
Nestle a better vessel
Soul stored for the day

Impurity succumbs to the gravity
Form to the shape of a hairless ape
Dot the “I’s” and lace with grace
Occupy space with a brave face

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When the Autumn comes
I fall all over you
There’s not much I can do
It’s the season to fall for you

Become aware there’s something in the air
Make a memory to share
You know we’ve got to let the summer go
Before you know — snow
(Yeah, here/hear we go)

Open up the window
I want to take in some more
One thing’s for sure
Open up the door lore
I want to take in some more
You know let’s go go-go
Out the door and take in some more

Fall All Over You.mp3

A celebration of Autumn.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Building a building
Meant to tear people down
Name’s misleading
There ain’t no justice in this town

All but lost and forgotten
To the core they are rotten

Take some time
And dare to look around
Reason… rhyme?
Ask but can’t be found

Lady liberty
Well, she just can’t see
She blindly
Weighs just to the mighty
(ways to balance the mighty)

Painting a painting
With a thousand words
Champion debating
Melting down their swords

LYRICS
In an attempt to quench my thirst
I dove in… headfirst

If you’re going to “go off the deep end”
You’d better go off the deep end
For if you go shallow
You will come to know
Your head is hollow

If shallow is your puddle
And through your life you muddle
Remember:
“Mud spelled backwards is dum”
Dum de dum de dum dum

Eat, drink and sleep
Going deep
Deep, deep, deep
Mental burst
Headfirst

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
See along the seaside
From where I reside
High above the landslide
Watching the rising tide

When I let the 3rd-eye see
A calm comes over me
Naturally, fell the be

Rise with the sunrise
Searching for surprise
High from enterprise
No matter the number of tries

Along with Venus and Mars
Pass between the stars
Far beyond the wars
In the vision that is ours

Over the rainbow
In a place I didn’t know
Letting the mind grow
We harvest what we sow

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
In the quest to survive the test
Do you really think it’s best
To forget the rest?

All the world is a stage
Of knowledge
The more you yearn to learn
the more you earn

Your wealth’s in mental health
The more you go the more you know
On with the show

The more you gave the more you save
The more you give the more live
Can’t take it to the grave

In the quest to pass the past
Observe the future coming fast
Facts are sure to last

LYRICS
Difficult to get
Hitting a moving target
Never will forget
Hitting a moving target

Tact in the track
Squeeze the trigger back
Focusing on “I”
With ease score the bull’s eye

Better hedge your bet
Hitting a moving target
Destiny? We’ve met
Hitting a moving target

Trying not to fret
Hitting a moving target
Pull with no regret
Hitting a moving target

LYRICS
Working smart is a real fine art
Getting harder everyday
… in every way
Job, life will rob… you’re arm they’ll lob
Mourn the turn of your first born

What are you suppose to do
Just trying to get through
How are you suppose to learn
Where you’re suppose to turn

Working hard for the final yard
Getting smarter everyday
… in every way
Robbed by the job… stolen heart throb
No relief any day
… in any way

The older I grow
The more I know
How little I know

Before you grow old
Travel the world
Let you story by told
(Go! Go! Go!)

While you feel young
Find the harmony among
Let your song be sung
(Ohh, ohh, ohh)

Over a 1,000 “I am’s”
We’re in Fortunate Times

The older I grow

LYRICS
What does it take to quench your thirst
Head out feet first?
Aching for your bubble to burst
Head out feet first?
Heading out feet first

At best you jest
Forget the rest
Head out feet first?

In his head, quest of dead
Heard he said, better off dead!
Head out feet first?
Heading out feet first

Are you livin’ a life that’s cursed
Head out feet first?
Bide your time become well versed
Head out feet first?
Heading out feet first
Head out feet first

LYRICS
Did you hear say
Did you hearsay
It’ll pay
Save it for a rainy day
It’s raining. It’s “pooring”. Couldn’t get up in the “mourning”.

Well, that will depend
Are you ready… really ready
Really ready to spend
… does it depend?

At what cost is lost
Odds of a coin tossed?
Hedging the bet
… bet against
… against regret
Hedge the bet against regret
It’s raining. It’s “pooring”. Couldn’t get up in the “mourning”.
