LYIRCS
(tickin’, tickin’, tickin’)
It’s only time
Slipping, slipping, slipping
It’s only time
… not really mine
Dripping, dripping, dripping
There is no gripping
Slipping through butter fingers
A moment briefly lingers
Then, it’s gone… so long
Luckily for me
It’s only time

Any time is fine time
Define time?
Anytime is fine time
The time to pine for time…
Is wasted time
Defined time
At the end of the line
’til that time
I’m

LYRICS
On the track
And there is no turning back
On the track
Lightning from the smokestack
Oh, let go! Let’s go

On the track
And the train is bearing down
On the track
Hit us like a rodeo clown

On the track
Time we all took this train back
On the track
Here we go! Citizens attack!

On track
And there is no turning back
On track
Lightning from our smokestack

MP4, LYRICS
Wait for me! Can’t you see…
My stride is tiny
Don’t want to sound whiny
Oh, please wait for me
Pleeeeeease…
Don’t want to seize
Pleeeeease…
Don’t want to cease

Wait for me! If it’s free…
A ride to destiny
Sure wanna be in the Promised City
Oh, please… wait for me!

Wait for me! Gravity…
Makes me feel heavy
Don’t know how I can fly
But, I’m willing to try

Pleeeeease…
Don’t want to cease

LYRICS
The warriors putting on their armor
“So, humor in war”
The soldiers securing armor
“So no humor any more…
In any war”

In light we fight with all our might
As we fight right to slight what might
Holding dear to fear as black as night
The sword of justice adjusts us down to height

Please roll me over when it’s over
I don’t want to see
Cover me with your shield
Blind is what I’ll be

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I wish I knew this when I was younger
I wish I knew this a little longer
There’s nothing wrong with being a beatless sense monger
A little bit of loving makes you a lot stronger
Give a little bit and love to live

Alas, I wish I would have grasp this on the first pass
Learning the feeling of a complete ass
There’s nothing better than being a beatless sense monger
A little bit of loving makes you a lot stronger
Give a little bit and love to live

Trying not to make the mistake to make the same mistake
Dreaming of being a being being awake
Partake in the song as a beatless sense monger
A little bit of loving makes you a lot stronger
Give a little bit and love to live

LYRICS
Tistical was a statistical was
Too late to have been a “has been”
Born being with the being leaving
Tistical… not really a free radical
After all
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!

After what id did you should have hid
But no! Super ego left the building
You know?
Look at your feet stuck in conceit
Conceit defeat
Change your goal to the heart in your soul
Forward roll
Into freefall
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!
Let go of your ego
Ego freefall
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!
Electrical juice in cutting it loose
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!
Freefall
Ego
Tistical, let go

LYRICS
Clark Kent in to a phone booth
Change into the naked truth
Naked truth
Clark Kent out of the phone booth
Wearing the naked truth
Naked truth

Naked truth
Starts with your birthday suit
The essence of your root
Nothing else to boot
Soothsayer soul’s sleuth
Wearing the naked truth
Naked truth

Naked truth
Is more than just skin deep
Into your soul it will seep
An existential leap
Superhero out of the phone booth
In you naked truth
Naked truth

Rocking Out on the Rock

LYRICS
Almost rock off my rock
When I rock
Even when on solid rock
I rock the rock
Solid rock
Almost rock off my rock
When I rock

Take stock
In our foundation
Mental stimulation
Physical stimulation
Spiritual stimulation
Almost rock off my rock
When I rock

Pluck that string
Make it sing
Rock that thing
Now, keep it going
Almost rock off my rock
When I rock

Like the Rock of Gibraltar
A boulder! A Rocker!
Talk talk
Walk walk
Rock!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

How sure is your footing on the precipice of the future
How sure? For sure?
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

Presently I consider the present a present
The recent present won’t persist
No, it won’t last
Men, grasp it while you can!
Before it passes to past
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

Did you notice the crowd
It’s loud!
A mad dash to the finish line
3, 2, 1… then, you’re out of time
3, 2, 1…
Then, you’re done

Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

LYRICS
Are you aware of the squawking bird
Beware of the squawking bird
Squawking bird
How absurd
Squawked for hours
About hers not ours
Does anybody know
Where did the scarecrow go
(If they only had a brain that was sane….)

Screeching bird
How absurd
Screeching for days
About changing ways
Ours not hers

Relentless bird
How absurd
Acts as if no one heard
Never occurred?

Has anyone heard
From the silent bird
Let’s look in the giblets

LYRICS
Can you hear hell?
Clear as a bell
IF judgment is coming
Why are you running
Well, can’t you tell
You can’t outrun hell

Can you smell hell?
Not hard to tell
Rotten eggs n’ burning sulfur
Nausea and diarrhea sufferer
Judgement day is on the way
Well, you can’t outrun hell

Can you taste hell?
Bitter farewell
An aftertaste of human waste
Laid to waste in our haste
Mankind fell
Trying to outrun hell

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What do your wealth and mouth
Have in common?
Money is a medium of exchange
And so is language
Pop the cork… champagne fizz
Put your money where you mouth is
Her’s and His’

Want to transfer fast cash fast
Don’t let another moment pass
Pay your dues in the past
Your word is in the future’s grasp
Don’t let strife
Ruin your life
Free yourself from the chains of exchange
Make Mother Nature your wife
Put your money where your mouth is
There’s an urgency in this currency quiz
Her’s and His’

Free looks here
Free looks hear
In case I’m not clear
You can listen, too
Sing and dance… do what you wanna do

Free looks here
Free looks hear
If I’m not coming in clear
Tune into the tunin’
Once you’re in you’re jammin’

Free looks here
Free looks hear
Appreciate the round of beer
Mighty neighborly of you
So, it’s the least I can do…. (jam)

Free looks here
Free looks hear
Love your heart-warming cheer
Love the response from you
Sing and dance… do what you wanna do

LYRICS
What? Where? When?
What then?
Should I anticipate
To hurry up and wait?
It’s too late to wait to wait

No if? And?
But then?
Can’t be present
At a non-event
It’s too late to wait to wait

Wow! Now? How?
I vow…
Can’t participate
In hurry up and wait
It’s too late to wait to wait

Clock? Tick-tock?
Time stopped
Should I resuscitate
Or hurry up and wait?
It’s too late to wait to wait
Can’t wait to wait
