LYRICS
Feeling like a black cloud is hovering?
Well if it keeps on raining….

It’s raining. It’s pouring. Hit his head… now, he’s dead.
Couldn’t get up in the mourning.

The rain spills upon the hill
Runnin’ down, down, down
Runnin’ still… runnin’ ’till fill
Wash the black cloud frown
Away

Flashflood
The day you wash away
Flesh n’ blood
The day you wash away

Gonna fill
To the high water mark
Run until
… the high water mark

on a lark, embark

LYRICS
I guess we’ve gotta go
Against the river’s flow
The settlers have settled on a settlement

Chorus
By settlement I mean they’re mean
From the genocide we must hide
Hide in Her spirit’s hide

Chorus

They’ll cut us down you know
Bullet versus bow
What are they thinkin’ over the color of skin?

Chorus

Since we wouldn’t behave
As their slave
Over our land… their rag… their flag

Chorus

LYRICS
When you offer me money
Chips, tokens… any sort-of tips
A silent trust is spoken
Awoken, I come to grips

If by chance you get a glance
But can not hear the solution
The notion in the motion
Moves beyond circumstance

A mile of traffic with a smile
Children in the backseat keepin’ the beat
Big dogs and little dogs taking masters for jogs
The little jig and the big dance…
A musical romance

Thank You Please Accept Your Tip.mp3

LYRICS
Hear the whistle blowin’
Feel the train comin’ down the line

The earth does shake
The earth does quake
There’s much at stake
… a locomotive mistake

Who would save the day
If the train’s a runaway
Would you stop and pray
If the train’s a runaway

LYRICS
If you listen real easy
Then maybe
It won’t be so hard
For the chord to be heard

On the wind rides a whisper
The music kissed Her
Before you’re aware
She was already there

On the tide rides a soundwave
The music does save
Before you’re aware
She was already there

LYRICS
Not nearly near the bathroom
Barely down the hall
No, nowhere near the stall
And you’ve gotta scratch you ball?

Oh, gloom and doom

Why don’t you smoke a cig
While we dance the pig jig
You can’t get into a bar
Ever think you’ve gone too far?

Don’t you know it’s time to wipe the smirk from your face
A public disgrace

If everyone know
You’ve got your finger up your nose
Clown’s pants down
Or, no emperor… no clothes… no “knows”

LYRICS
Hmmm… yum, yum, yum

Saw a reflection of a wizard
Looking up at me
Wondering how long
Our history would be

Just for fun
He thought he’d question me
“Can you tell how long
Our history will be?”

I looked into the sky
… with a sigh
“Can you tell me, Creator,
How long we will be?”

She said,
“Son, you see there’s something troubling me…
Creation termination is how it’s gonna be?”

I said,
“You’re right. Thanks for showing me the light.”

Yum, yum, yum we love eatin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love slurpin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love suckin’ up dumb
Yum, yum, yum we love throwin’ up dumb

Go light it
Go ahead ignite it
The fuse will burn
The ignition light
Turn, turn, turn
’till we learn to unite

Woke up this morning
Soon as I heard the news
Without a warning
The Mississippi blues

Chorus

Keep your eyes on the road
Your hands upon the wheel
Shot your load
Do you know the real deal?

Chorus

Instead of singing the blues
… light the fuse!

There’s a wake from a quake
A tsunami headin’ right for me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Wake!
There’s a flood of information comin’ right at me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Wake!
For goodness sake… it’s a fake
A wave of dishonesty comin’ right for me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

First, I heard it
Heard they said it
But I really, really, really didn’t get it

So maybe you can explain to me
Why the big mystery?

Next, I read it
Read they said it
But I really, really, really didn’t get it

Then, I saw it
Witnessed all of it
Couldn’t see how someone… anyone… really, really, really couldn’t get it

You make my heart race
Tryin’ to keep up to the pace
You make my heart pound
Every time that you come ’round

The scent of the chase
Your frills and your lace
You make the world sound
Every time that you come ’round

The pressure of the skin
The emotion wears thin
A heart has been found
Every time that you come ’round

LYRICS
Put the Bull in the ring
With a human being
A fight to the death is what you’re seeing
And who is left bleeding

The Bull dung bell has rung
In fat, we’re up to our ears
The Bull dung run rang our fears
Running of the Bull
Death of many a fool

Humans like rats in a maze
Never cease to amaze
Pray it’s just a stage
On our way to the Golden Age

LYRICS
Maybe we can live together
Maybe we can live in peace
None of us live forever
Eventually we seize and cease

As long as we’re alive together
Might as well give peace a chance
To ensure a clever endeavor
We’ve gotta join in the dance

Maybe we can end the fighting
Just say “no more” to war
I mean… since our life is fleeting
It’s our legacy that will endure

Chorus

Perhaps we can save the children
From our adult hypocrisy
By remembering how we begin
Created image… will set free

LYRICS
Kind of like Newton inventin’ gravity
But instead of an apple falling from a tree
Praying it’s money falling from the sky
… and I know why

Pennies from heaven
Loose change in the cushion
Then, a penny saved
Will be a penny earned

Kind of like Newton inventin’ friction
Instead of money slipping through fingers
It hangs around… it lingers
Preaching to the choir brimstone and fire
