LYRICS
I don’t need that much
Just basic needs and such
Some things like strings
To touch
And strum
(Create a tune and hum)
When the time has come
To call the day done
Bid adieu to light
Say goodnight
On the good day
An extra pint
Grace is on her way
To swing and sway under moonlight
Until another day

LYRICS
You can huff… huff and puff
You can huff and puff
Knock my door down
I’ll call your bluff
And raise you two, too
’cause I ain’t coming out
That’s not what isolation’s about
Beyond a doubt
Your normal’s not normal
After all
Guess the moral’s…
You’re not normal

bookmark_borderComing Clean

LYRICS
I don’t know what you mean
Saying you love what is mean
Or if you mean you mean mean
Comin’ clean
Let the hungry eat
Be damned your conceit
Put shoes on their feet
Be damned your deceit
It’s not that hard to do
Is there no convincing you?

I don’t know how to take
Saying you love what is hate
Or if you hate you hate hate
Too late?
Let the hungry eat
Be damned your conceit
Put shoes on their feet
Be damned your deceit
It’s not that hard to do
Is there no convincing you?

LYRICS
Suspended disbelief… in awe
The Commander In Grief
No relief
Is there no relief
Suspended disbelief… in awe
To the jaw dropping gall

Suspended disbelief… in awe

Is there no relief
Suspended disbelief… in awe
A mounting pile of skull
Suspended disbelief… in awe
In denial of the dull
Suspended disbelief… in awe
The damnedest Christian belief

bookmark_borderWhat’s So Funny

LYRICS
Amused at my own sense of humor
I could go on for an hour
Laugh so hard I almost cry
Grab my side like I’m gonna die
Won’t take much
Slightest touch
Sets me free
Of any misery

Laughter is the best medicine
Time and time again
All the while crack a smile
Living life is bliss in style
Won’t take much
Slightest touch
Sets me free
Ahh… the remedy

bookmark_borderIn the Grand Scheme of Things

LYRICS
Just a placeholder
That’s growing older
The king did anoint
To the right of the decimal point
In the grand scheme of things
Witnessing what mortality brings

Though small from far away
Growing bigger day to day
It takes every slice of pi
To measure up under the sky
In the grand scheme of things
Hearing how freedom rings

When oh so miniscule
Why stubborn as a mule
What difference will it make
In the position I take
In the grand scheme of things
Unless it’s your heart that sings

LYRICS
You don’t owe me anything
I don’t owe you anything
Except for whether whatever we forever bring

What is the essence of our presence
In whatever together we forever bring

Hint: our footprint
From livin’ in

Livin’ in The Damn Damage Age

LYRICS
Why don’t we agree to see clearly
Dreams aren’t clouds in coffee
This dream is reality
Starring you and me as we
In our entirety
The naked truth of your birthday suit
In the bittersweet suite of the Age’s
Final days

Why don’t we agree to see clearly
Dreams aren’t pure fantasy
This dream is reality
Starring you and me as we
In our entirety
The naked truth of your birthday suit
In the bittersweet suite of the Age’s
Final days

Why don’t we agree to see clearly
Dreams you thought wouldn’t come to be
This dream is reality
Starring you and me as we
In our entirety
The naked truth of your birthday suit
In the bittersweet suite of the Age’s
Final days

LYRICS
Stay tuned
I’d love to see the reactions
To the coming attractions
The faction
Offering distractions
Pure fiction
With fact subtractions

Step right this way
For your total display
Of universal dismay

The shape shifter
Orange grifter
Tries to untie lies
As he puts (his) foot in mouth
About stealing wealth
All crime all the time
Spreading among us like a virus

LYRICS
I don’t know if I should pick a stick
I don’t know if I should pick a bone
I don’t know if I should throw a stone
I don’t know if I’ve been thrown a trick
What to do
What to sink my teeth into

I don’t know if I should pick a bone
Better off if left alone
Thinkin’ I’ll roll with rock
Sure beats punchin’ in a clock
What to do
What to sink my teeth into

I don’t know if I should pick a stick
… decided I’ll lick a bone

What do you think you see (there, boy)
Tell me
What do you think you see
Show me
I’m aware of the glare in your stare
Are you aware of the glare in your stare?

Do you see right through me
Hear me
Can you see right through me
Spare me
I’m aware of the glare in your stare
Are you aware of the glare in your stare?

What do you hope it’ll be
Really
What do you hope it to be
In me
I’m aware of the glare in your stare
Are you aware of the glare in your stare?

LYRICS
Can you tell me the way to go
Trying to catch that traveling show
Can be ours every 24 hours
It goes around
And comes around
Guaranteed to astound
It goes round, comes round and round

Have you seen the cosmic flow
The annual traveling show
My Dear,
Happens every single year
It goes around
And comes around
Guaranteed to astound
It goes round, comes round and round

Now you know to find the way
We turn around every day
On our run to circle the sun
It goes around
And comes around
Guaranteed to astound
It goes round, comes round and round

LYRICS
Wouldn’t you know
The blackest of crow
Would come and steal
The shiny object
I object
To the high heaven
The action of the raven
Oh, Lady Justice,
Intervene
If we’re blind to this kind
What does life mean?

And, there you go
Landing a blow
Starting a riot
Waking the giant
I object
To the high heaven
The action of the heathen
Oh, Lady Justice,
Intervene
If we’re blind to this kind
What does life mean?
