LYRICS
Did you discover…
Your complaint of having to wait
Is over
Yes, wait less
Now you are wait-less
Your weightless
You’re weightless

Same ole fate
Meet-your-maker date
They say…
It could be any day

Angels are your wings
And other amazing things
Unfurled
Wonders beyond the world

I think you’re seeing heaven
Heaven, again
You know…
From whence one will come, one will go
Heaven, again

LYRICS
Different? OK!
Indifferent? No way!
If you don’t care to care
This is going nowhere
The fashion of compassion is no fad
Imagine how you’d feel if you never “had”
Never had… never had had
If yo never had clean water, would it matter?
If you were cold and hungry how indifferent would you be?
If the clothes you chose weren’t a choice
Would you raise your voice
Against indifference
I’ll have one of those
And make a difference
My stance — make a difference
This instance
Any circumstance
Make a difference

Indecision
X-ray vision
I see a revision
… can see right through you
What the damage is going to do
Make the decision
X-ray vision
Isotope probe
You know you’re going to glow
Can see right through you
Envision revision
X-ray vision
On a mission
Season of reason
X-ray vision
See inside me
Internal treason
Fight in sight
My decision

LYRICS
Quick! Going to get sick
The hospital makes me ill
At the time, I was feeling fine
Well, now my wellness is on the line
Get me out of here
Need air that’s clear
Sound the alarm for harm
Induction of infection
Don’t want to learn of the germ
My health is a gem
My wealth is a all gone
From the system I’m in
Oh, dear! Get me out of here
Hypochondriac fear
Cardiac attack
Fell ill from the bill
Treasure my health
But lost my wealth
From the system I’m in

LYRICS
Treatment
I meant
Treat meant
I scream
Ice cream
Take cake
Candy
Treatment
I meant
Treat meant
Not to probe or poke
Nor resentment stoke
Treatment treat
Treatment
May it be pain free
Void of annoyed
A pleasant event
Treatment
Treat treatment
Treat evident
Heaven sent
The kind kind-of treatment

LYRICS
Doctor! Doctor!
Tell me what you knew
Doctor! Doctor!
Tell me what is new
Doctor! Doctor!
This ain’t the flu
And I’m overdue
Need a transfusion
From this delusion
Feel like mud
Need new blood
More radiation
For cessation
Know what I mean
Can’t even scream
Laryngitis
Illness fights us
The modern dread
Is waking up dead
Let me out of this hospital bed
Hospital gown getting me down
The lack of a back
Let’s my ass pass
Into thin air
Is there anybody there?
Hello? Hello?
I just dunno…

LYRICS
We’ve got a war on cancer
The only problem…
The cancer’s in her
The war on the goblin
The issue at heart
Hard to tell them apart

Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

We’ve got a war on terror
The only error
The terror of terror
I just don’t know
Can we wage war on a shadow
Here we go
Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

We’ve got a war on war
We just can’t wait
Fighting hate with hate
The real debate
Can you hate hate?
Ahhh… it’s too late
Throw out the baby
With the bath water
What about maybe
We try to save her?

LYRICS
I read, “The late Alfred Doe”
Late? He’s really dead, though
Beyond tired…
Expired
Beyond past due
He’s through
I’ve got the future past life blues
When I die
Hope you stop by
n’ say “hi” and “good-bye”
When I die
Hope you stop by
Or at least try

I heard, “The late Jane Doe”
Late? At her rate…
Died in the fast lane, though
All horizontal
Open casket… full frontal
I’ve got the future past life blues

When they say I’m dead and gone
Sing that “Jolly Good Fellow” song
Any time of me you think
Raise your glass and toast a drink
I’ve got the future past life blues

Hearts Attack

LYRICS
Before it was too late
The hearts heard of the hate
Arm me with an army
Heart attacks
Plug the holes where love lacks
Hearts attack
The humanity comeback

Before it was too late
The hearts heard of our fate
A leg up… arm me
Heart attacks
Quadruple bypass where love lacks
Heart attacks
The flow of love comes back

Sure hope it’s not too late
For your heart to participate
Early heart attack care
Are you aware?
It’s time to start
Arm your heart
Pick up love’s slack… attack!

ABOUT THE SONG
While sitting in the hospital’s waiting room, I saw a brochure entitled “Early Heart Attack Care”. It inspired a song about the love in your heart.

Going Nuclear.mp3

LYRICS
“What are you waiting for?”
1,2,3,4…
For four minutes or more
“What I’ve been waiting for”
Let me make it clear
… going nuclear
(I’d rather not be here)
Radiate the foe
A cancer growth must go
When you’ve cut out his heart
Yet, he will not depart
I fear…
You’ve got to go nuclear
“What are you waiting for?”
22,23,24…
For 24 minutes or more
“What I’ve been waiting for”
Anticipate the end of the wait
Evacuate
Clear of nuclear
“What are you waiting for?”
Before more hours
The moment’s ours
“What I’ve been waiting for”
Clear of nuclear
“What I’ve been waiting for”

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was written and recorded in West Chester, Pennsylvania on April 21, 2012. It was inspired by a group of girls fundraising for the American Cancer Society. The true love expressed by youth gives hope. While I was working on the music and lyrics, I sat on a bench next to the youth. The above lyrics that are in quotes were taken from their conversations; however, I was still at a loss for a title. Then, I heard a voice say, “young love”.
