LYRICS
There’s a space
Between the doors
Does no one care
Any more
There’s no space
Up on the floors
Does someone care
Any more

Every name of the dead
Shall be read
At least,
If you’re name is said
Not the beast
666 fix
777
Gone to heaven

Quite contrary
Fence around a cemetery
People are just dying to get in
The End
Where we begin

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Counting numbers
141,151… 141,152
Mounting numbers
Is it any wonder “how come”?

Pile them high
Don’t ask why
Bury them deep
Less their souls to seep

Counting numbers
Mounting numbers

Hare to hide
Pile them wide
Bury them deep
Les their souls to seep

LYRICS
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
But, I confess…
I’m nervous
I’m serious…
Sorry if I appear delirious
But, I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through
Get between us?
Let’s careen us
Set our sails
Not off the rails
I’d hate to see a virus
Get between us
Keep your distance
I can’t kiss you
Not this instance
A 6-feet throw’s the best I can do
Blowin’ and throwin’
… love….
To get us through

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What shall we do
The morning dew
Is due
To be through
Put to an End
A tragic send

What can we say
The midday sway
Gone away
I heard it said
“Put to bed”
[Instrumental Break]

What did we do
The nighttime view
Obscured blurred
A mar on far
To close to home
Soon left alone

LYRICS
Find your own bit of water
And mosey down
What in life really matters
When you get down….

Tip to tip
Dip
When you get down….
Down by the water

Dreaming of Being Down by the Water

My head can not stop thinking of you
My bed… all wet from crying for you
Things may never be the same
But, that’s alright
I’m up for the game
On your mark. Get set. Go!
To high from low
Elevate
Levitate
Alleviate
Don’t hesitate
No… don’t hesitate

My head can not stop thinking of you
My bed… all wet from crying for you
Things may never be the same
But, that’s alright
I’m up for the game
On your mark. Get set. Go!
To high from low
Go into the hyper-surface flow
Feel the love circling above?
Let’s go into the hyper-surface flow
Feel the love
Circle above?
Feel the love
Circle above!

LYRICS
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?
We’re not going back to before
The move to the future in a blur
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?

Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?
The “normal” was a blur
Certainly, on that you concur
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?

Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?
Have you ever noticed the other door
Unless it’s opened are you sure?
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I took a trip
Without a buggy whip
Money stash
Without coins… no cash
The times are changing
Priorities re-arranging

The data scene
Has no fax machine
Left all alone
With a rotary phone
The times are changing
Priorities re-arranging

Took a horseless carriage
Into the modern age
Learned real fast
The obsolescence of gas
The times are changing
Priorities re-arranging

LYRICS
My heart is bleeding
Like a bloody sap
Syrup flowing
To the floor
Adapt to endure
Know more

My mind is melding
The legend of the map
Pieces fitting
No “no more”
Adapt and endure
Know more

My life is seeping
Like a flowing tap
The hops brewing
That’s for sure
Adapt will endure
Know more

I’d love to tell you something
You don’t already know
A love spell or something

LYRICS
Once I started thinking
Outside the freedom box
The cleaning of the clocks
The ships shoved from docks
Freedom box
That ship sailed
Of the failed
Now, it’s all hands on deck
Let’s fix this wreck
Freedom box
Once I started thinking
(Outside the freedom box)
The fears started shrinking
(Outside the freedom box)
Once I started thinking
(Outside the freedom box)
What’s wrong started sinking
(Outside the freedom box)
Once I started thinking
Outside the freedom box
All our bonds and stocks
Outside the freedom box
No more bars and locks
Outside the freedom box
Tumbling of the blocks
Outside the freedom box

What is higher up
The ceiling?
What is higher up
The blue sky?
What is higher up
The feeling?
What is higher up
Give a try
Stand up and cry
“Try a higher up”
Raise your hand
Take a stand
A higher up!
Raise your loving cup
A higher up!
Fire
Higher
Inspire
Higher
Put your hands together
Not a matter
If we can weather the whether
Raise your loving cup
A higher up!
