Oncoming Traffic.mp3

LYRICS
If your ball should roll out onto the road
Before you run out, watch for the oncoming load

When you run out into traffic
It could end up tragic
Not the story you want told
“Tragic.. died before he was old.”

Wonder who built the roads anyway?
Now they just seem in the way
Of our progress in being a civilized civilization
On that superhighway of life
A bug’s life is strife
Being shattered on the windshield
’cause that oncoming load would not yield

My life became a mess
My innards on the interstate

Stop. Look. And, listen.

Before you run out on the road, look out for that oncoming load

Oh, %^&*!
Here comes a truck
Do you know if I can duck?

With a giant leap of faith we can overcome that oncoming freight

LYRICS
Any which way
As long as it’s the highway

I’ve been listening to you all night and day
The only thing I’ve got to say…
Any which way
As long as it’s the highway

All night and day
I have to sit and listen to what you say
Any which way
As long as it’s the highway

This is your call…
Do you call for the fall?

Any which way
As long as it’s the highway

LYRICS
Said, the cat to the mouse,
“The race is on”
You know the race is on
Run!

The race is on

You know the race is on
When you hear the starting gun
The race is on
It’s time to run

Said, the dog to the cat,
“The race is on…
Didn’t you hear the starting gun?
Come on and run ’cause the race is on”

You know the race is on
When you hear the starting gun
Come on and run

Don’t hesitate as we commence the chase

Said, the spider to the fly,
“The race is on…
Go on and run,
The sticky web that I weave
Makes it hard to leave.”

Come on the race is on

1, 2… 1, 2 ready go

They’re off!
The race is on

You better run
Before the setting sun

Didn’t you hear the starting gun?
It’s in my heart to give you a little head start

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Let’s get in sync

A jazz experimental ditty
Try to get into some spiritual possibility
In this time, in this day, in this age
When you want to turn the page
And get a way from history
Because that’s not my story
I might be a product of my genes
I might be a product of my environment
I’m not a product of the obscene
I’ve come to appreciated what life means

If you feel like your downtrodden… down beat…
Of the old narrate
If you can’t figure out what the hell you’re doing here
When this is heaven
Well, maybe you haven’t been forgiven
Or, maybe you haven’t been enlightened
It’s not too late

Whenever things get hard…
When you think it’s hard
Of course it might depend on your tissue
Your issue
’cause you could be soft inside
The hardened shell is your own hell

It could be just as well
Come out of that shell
With that soft underbelly
Crawl out… it’ll be funny
Come to see
Enlightenment
And, that’s excitement
That’s how you create a thrill
So that people will chill
Create a thrill
And get rid of ill-will

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Prelude (recorded in the soundcheck)
What if I’ve just been the victim of the world’s greatest con
What if I’m just a victim of everything that’s gone wrong
And, we all bleed
When one of us is bleeding, we concede to bleed.

The Song
Have I just been the victim of the world’s greatest con?
All these people and politicians tell me nothing’s gone wrong?
That’s the wrong song!

Try to convince me
We’re not responsible?
Yes, you try to convince me
That we’re not responsible?
That’s most irresponsible

We’re responsible for all this trash
We’re responsible for all this mess
We’re responsible for all pollution
We’re responsible for institution
De-civilization

Maybe it’s time
We woke up and smell the coffee
Can you smell the coffee
Or, is it just me?

We’ve all got something wrong going on
Well, folks…
Look behind that curtain
It’s a hoax
The Wizard is you
Now, what’cha gonna do?

Have we just victimized ourselves of the greatest con
It’s all around
How it went wrong is now in song

Is it just me or do we have to take responsibility?

And We All Bleed.mp3

LYRICS
Relevant

Relevant
As an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop

It’s time to be big
Big… bigger than this
Bigger than this
A luscious kiss
Able to transcend
Again and again

Time to get relevant
Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop

Relevant

Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop
Irreverent in a reverent way
Instead of gone astray
We can band together
As a band
Not, necessarily hand-in-hand
(Staying unique)

Coming relevant
Like an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop!

LYRICS
Your voice is a gift from God
Let’s hide our pride
Instead of being proud
Let’s get loud

Your voice is a gift from God
Let’s get out The Word
With a meaning deeper
Than just a sound blurb

Can you feel it?
Can you hear it?
Can you get to know it?

If you listen with your heart
You can start to take part
Are you listening?

Wisdom and knowledge glistening
With the power of know
You can go

Will you follow?
Will you follow me to the other side?

Will you come with me to see?
Will you come?
(Watch afar as the world comes undone)

Did you know you could go
Pass through the looking glass
Why not pass through the looking glass

Come with me and see
Pass through the looking glass
Go deep inside
Then, spread it far and wide
Dig deep inside
Then, spread it far and wide

To the other side
To the farside
From inside to outside

Will you come with me
Will you come see
What lies beyond
Come to see

LYRICS
Through the gauntlet to the guillotine
When you get caught up, get caught up, get caught up…
In the money machine
It’s through the gauntlet to the guillotine

When you get caught up, get caught up, get caught up…
In the money machine
The people are nice…
They’re oh so mean

You’d hope you’d wake from this dream
’cause it’s too obscene
See what you can bring to the scene

You would think enough stink
You would have thought we’ve had enough to drink of that stink

Through the gauntlet to the guillotine
’till you’ve seen everything obscene

Why would you stretch the neck for the blade
Get out of the sun and into the shade
Before you know how to swim, you’d better just wade
Out of the sun and into the shade

Now, we’re going on beyond
The Mayan calender

With no end in sight
Just the light
At the end of the tunnel

Joy and peace come to all
It’s wonderful

Hard to believe it’s seen
Twenty thirteen
Like we’re living on a dream

LYRICS
In the hour of power
Our power
All that came before that was sour
In that final hour
She said, she will show LOVE

Shinning down from above

She, who holds the key
In the final hour
In the hour of power
We’ll find out our

Our punishment or reward

If you want to be under the shower
Of Her LOVE
Then, have faith in above

She said, I didn’t denounce her name
I loved Her all the same
And, in the reflection of the image
She’s been showering Love back again

Didn’t let her name go down in vain

Hour of power
Our final hour
Some may say it’s judgement day
Eventually everybody will find their way

When you get to your Baptism
Will it be Psalms and hymns
Or Brimstone and Satin
On your Judgement Day?
