LYRICS
Consuming oil
The damned demand
Our looming toil
The damned demand
If you want to get out of this alive
Stop the jive
Realize to dive
Staying alive
Dive
Staying alive
Dive

Huffing our gas (Methane’s insane)
The damned demand
How long we’ll last?
The damned demand
If you want to get out of this alive
Stop the jive
Realize to dive
Staying alive
Dive
Staying alive
Dive

Suck fossil fuel
The damned demand
F*@#! Who’s the fool?
The damned demand
The Man’s the Man
Human
The damned demand
At a record pace
The human race

Stop the jive
Realize to dive
Staying alive

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Heaven only knows
What’s coming
Watch as suspense grows
Mind numbing
Some say the situation’s dire
I suppose when your world’s on fire

Heaven only knows
What’s coming
Watch as suspense grows
Mind numbing
There are those that idly transpire
All the while their pants on fire

Heaven only knows
What’s coming
Watch as suspense grows
Mind numbing
Maybe some think they’ll retire
Odds remote when consumed by fire

Heaven only knows
What’s coming
Watch as suspense grows
Mind numbing
About the farm
They say you’re the buyer
Bought the farm
Fighting fire with fire

Didn’t have to wait very long
January… where’s winter gone?

The strangest thing
Eye-opening

Didn’t have to wait very long
January… spring’s coming on strong
Does it seem wrong
Now that winter’s gone
Waited too long
To right/write our wrong
As the birds sing
“What’s happening”
The strangest thing
Eye-opening

Well, well, well look what we’ve done

The strangest thing

Rain reign
Will you ever come again
Rain reign
When will you begin
Without a doubt
Got to end the drought
This lack of rain’s insane

Rain reign
Arrived this very day
Rain reign
Are you here to stay?
Without a doubt
Got to end the drought
This lack of rain’s insane

Raining every dog gone day
Rain reign
Won’t you please go away
Neck deep in mud
Got to end the flood
This constant rain’s insane

LYRICS
What do you say
We go out of our way
This morning
That is to say
Take the time to persuade
Sound alarming
When I say the sky is falling
Let me be clear
I’m not saying The End is near
Rather atmospheric rivers squalling

What do you say
We go out of our way
Today
Not to evade
Take the time to persuade
Hear what we say
When I say the sky is falling
Let me be clear
I’m not saying The End is near
Rather atmospheric rivers squalling
It’s the ocean falling
Human-made shivers
Atmospheric rivers
Falling down
Rising up
And round and round

LYRICS
Misty morning
Please start blowing
Away
Accompany in
A sunny day

No wind today
Fog’s here to stay
No wind today
Please stop! Don’t tease
Praying for a breeze
Lord, start blowing
Away
Accompany in
A sunny day

Misty evening
Senses grieving
Misty evening
If there was a sun
She is long done
But you know what they say
Tomorrow’s another day

LYRICS
I don’t know if it’s a problem
If you know how to solve it
If he’s in need no need to rob him
Start with compassion
Evolve it
I’m on my knees
’cause it’s how I please
To thank you
… thank you!

I wouldn’t call it a problem
Now you know how to solve it
Doesn’t need to be us or them
Start with compassion
Evolve it
I’m on my knees
’cause it’s how I please
To thank you
… thank you!

Wasn’t much of a problem
Figured out how to solve it
Daydreaming R.E.M.
Compassion passion
Evolve it
I’m on my knees
’cause it’s how I please
To thank you
… thank you!

LYRICS
There’s more than one way to get busy
What do you think of that?
The street goes both ways… it’s that easy
Who wants to tit-for-tat?
No such thing
As an infinite bubble
Noticing
Might be time to get humble
Pre-pop
Pop

Social gossip’s thrown in a tizzy
What do you think of that?
Head spinning enough to make you dizzy
Who wants to tit-for-tat?
No such thing
As an infinite bubble
Noticing
Might be time to get humble
Pre-pop
Pop

Empathy airwaves feeling fuzzy
Who do you think needs that?
More of a monkey than a savior, was he?
who want hate in a hat?
No such thing
As an infinite bubble
Noticing
Might be time to get humble
Pre-pop
Pop

Are you sure
… want to place a bet?
Are you sure
… aren’t you still in debt?

Keeping score
We’re in for it
Just one more

Can’t endure
… what pare don’t you get?
Won’t endure
… time is due… and, yet….
The deficit
Keeping score
We’re in for it
Just one more

What’s for sure
… we’re in for it
And once more
… if we’re to endure….
The deficit
No, no more
We’re over it
Say no more

Make haste
Not waste
Faced
With distaste
Boldfaced
Disgrace
Make haste
Not waste
Create sustainment
Perfect (pɜrˈfekt) obtainment
Perfect (pɜrˈfikt) obtainment

Less used
And abused
All refused
Then lit the fuse
Now under the gun
And on the run
Less used
And abused
Make haste
Not waste
Create sustainment
Perfect obtainment

Waste not
Want not
Enough whatnot
Forgot

Less used
And abused
Make haste
Not waste
Create sustainment
Perfect obtainment

LYRICS
I ventured on outside
Indentured to decide
Inside
I reckoned with reckon
I reckoned to jump-start
At heart
Take warmth in the nurture
… the nurture of nature
Survive
Take stock in the future
… the future of nature/nurture
Alive

On the ride
I adored the outside
Enamored worldwide
All tried
Then pondered the wonder
To wander in freedom
Awesome
Take warmth in the nurture
… the nurture of nature
Survive
Take stock in the future
… the future of nature/nurture
Alive

Have you tried
You ventured to outside
Been guided to decide
Inside?
You reckoned to reckon
Beckoned to re-start
Your heart?
Take warmth in the nurture
… the nurture of nature
Survive
Take stock in the future
… the future of nature/nurture
Alive

LYRICS
We better prepare for the storm
If we intend to stay warm
When we lose the light
We’ll be dark all night
When we lose the heat
There is no retreat

We better prepare for the storm
If we intend to stay warm
Might be stuck for days
Blocking all our ways
Nothing left to eat
Without a (re)treat

We better prepare for the storm
If we intend to stay warm
Nothing much to do
At least I’m with you
Might just be a treat
A private retreat

Rendezvous with you
(You, too?)

Fallen found the sound

Want to be clear

When can we

Hopefully
