LYRICS
An eye for an eye… a tooth for a tooth
You call that telling the truth
An I for an I… in revenge we cry
Until death! We’re all going to die

Love from Venus, wars from Mars
The consequence of battle scars
The more we forget, the more we regret
Might as well get up and get at it

Love from us, ours is yours
The consequence of open doors
The more we explore, the more “will” / we’ll endure
We can see much is still in store

Love from Venus, wars from Mars
Earthlings, what is ours?
The more we protect, the more we project
A legacy they’ll never forget

LYRICS
You know that I’m right here for you
You know that I’ll always be
When 6 feet of dirt cover my view
Make the most of the ghost in me

When my ashes turn to dust, you must
Know in my soul you can trust (a must)
When my body no longer can be
Make the most of the ghost in me

When I kick the bucket
Don’t say “#uck it!”
Don’t need “I’s”/eyes for me to see
Make the most of the ghost in me

We can be happily
Everafter
No last chapter
Everafter
We can be
Eternity

LYRICS
Hear the guitar playing
Message it’s relaying
Get together clap your hands
Everyone understands

Universal language
We all can engage
Get together sing out loud
Forming an angelic cloud

Descending from heaven
Rising up again
Get together we’re a band
Playing throughout the land

Universal language
Carry’s no baggage
Come on let the music play
Melody carries us away

LYRICS
I haven’t written anything yet
On your mark, get ready, set….
You know it’s time to go
Had to wait and anticipate
For blue sky to roll by

You can bet the first chance I get
On your mark, get ready, set….
You know it’s time to go
Had to wait to participate
In blue sky rolling by

Singing out loud
Break in the cloud
You know it’s time to flow
On your mark, get set, go!
Where air and earth mate
Had to wait and anticipate
For blue sky to roll by

In our eyes to realize
Time and a word
Time our message
Of love is heard
Yes, the time at hand to understand

LYRICS
Four-leaf clover
Forever an endeavor
Now and ever more
Lucky for a ground score
Lucky is pure for sure
Now there’s one more
Godspeed
May the force be with you
Indeed
Hallelujah, too
Heads-up penny
Bright and shiny
Call that lucky
Rabbit foot tale
All toast with ale
Luck, never fail
Good luck
Lined up duck
I beg
Break a leg

LYRICS
Surprise gave rise
To the unexpected
Surprise gave rise
To myths erected
Learned my lesson well
You never can tell
Straight up to heaven
Or right out of hell

Surprise gave rise
To startled
Surprise gave rise
To heart-held
If you don’t choose
More likely to lose
Gateway to heaven
Of hangman’s noose

Surprise gave rise
To appreciated
Surprise gave rise
To alleviated
Come to realize
Our life’s prize
A birth on Earth
Is given heaven

Trying to choose the best words
To describe the flight of birds
It may take a 1,000 words
To ensure the best picture
Flying… soaring… taking wing
Hovering over everything

Unbelievable
Am I capable… am I able
To describe an upside glide

Trying to find a way to say
How it is I feel for you
It may take a 1,000 days
For me to count all the ways

Feel amateur at the prose
Describing how love arouse
It may take a 1,000 words

LYRICS
What’s all the buzz
About the fuzz
This heat is beat
Breeding defeat
Why don’t you just calm down
And take a look around
Stop! Look! Listen…
Spirits kissin’

What if the pig
Learned how to jig
‘stead of dig
Jig
Why don’t you just calm down
And take a look around
Stop! Look! Listen…
Spirits kissin’

Scale back blue
To just a few
… just a few
Of the good ones will do
Why don’t you just calm down
And take a look around
Stop! Look! Listen…
Spirits kissin’

LYRICS
Thought about it once
Thought about it twice
The thought might be nice
To begin to think again
Thought there was a chance
They’d let us dance
It really is no sin… to begin
When the band begins to play
It doesn’t matter what they say
When the band begins to play
We’re going to dance anyway
Hey! What are you doing
… begin to think again
Now that I’ve thought it through
I know just what to do
Grab your hand and dance with you

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The ice caps are melting
Nor’easterner’s whipping
While methane is leaking
Mother Nature’s weeping
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Look deep in the core
CO2… so much more
Man’s destruction of the land
I just don’t understand
Watching species die
You know the reason why

I suspect all the insects
Will out live the vertebrae
Wanted! The global warming suspects
Will man ever see the day
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Does anybody care
About saving the tree
What about the world we share
Or is it only me?
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Deep In The Core.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about Donald Trump pulling out of the Paris Climate Change agreement and our impact on global warming. Music inspired by John Lennon’s Yer Blues:
Want to die
If I ain’t dead already

LYRICS
No need to hide
Come on outside
Please give a taste
of showing your face
We’d love you to grace
Don’t let it go to waste
Will you come out and play
On such a beautiful day
We’ll show you the way
To a sunny foray
Wrestle with the sol
Wrestle with the sole soul
Set the control for heart of the sol/soul
Finding souls swimming in fish bowls

LYRICS
Both sides of the head
Eyes
Both sides of the head
I’s
Do you see me
Beyond hypocrisy
Past the haze phase
A field of clarity
The future ways / weighs?
No need for charity
Present day daze
Past the vanity
Where the vast past
Fades to amaze
Can you see me
Bringing on infinity
No dividing by zero?
Know dividing by zero

ABOUT THE SONG
“Division by zero is undefined. Since any number multiplied by zero is zero, the expression 0/0 also has no defined value; when it is the form of a limit, it is an indeterminate form.”

Elevator up
Elevate emotions
Emotion elevation
Elevate your day

Going Up!

Above the clouds high
Nothing but blue sky
Above the clouds high
Swimming through blue

Elevator up
Elevate emotions
Emotion elevation
High road’s the way

Let your voice take wing
And like the birds sing
Why not give it a try
Spread your wings and fly

Do you enjoy soaring
Courage… lions roaring
No need for compromising
When everyone is rising

LYRICS
I’m afraid to ask you
“What are you up to?”
So maybe just
A “How do you do?”
Do I really want to hear
’bout pain n’ sufferin’
Again and again
Oh, dear!
What’s going on here…
Pain n’ sufferin’

When I ask, “How are things going?
When I say, “How are you doing?”
Your reply, “Fine.”
Time after time
“Fine”
All of the time
Get a grip on my stiff upper lip
I’m feeling fine
At any rate, how about “great”?
I’m feeling fine
