LYRICS
I’m just a creature of circumstance
Come here as human observance
As a matter of fact
I don’t want to go back
Off to explore some more

I’m just a creature of circumstance
Cast here as human observance
Imagine what we can do with new
Knowing now what we knew
As a matter of fact
I don’t want to go back
Off to explore some more

I’m just a creature of circumstance
Last here as human observance
Imagine what we can do with new
Knowing now what we knew
I’m starting to see what can be
Quarantined me knows “to be free”
As a matter of fact
There’s no need to go back
Off to explore for more

LYRICS
They told me:
You want it?
Go out and get it!
I got it
Now I don’t want it
(You can have it)

Should have known should be careful what I wish for
Carved in stone “should be mindful what I wish for”

These things you thought the self would please
Turn out to be a disease

Money can’t buy happiness
It’s more in the love of the essence

LYRICS
What’s a matter with me?
What’s a matter with you?
From what I can see
It’s we that’s gotta get through
We sing and play away the day
We stay and lift the light all night
We do it for the love and joy
From our hearts hope you enjoy
If you want to get down to it…
Hear’s / here’s a bit

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’ve been to the edge
… and looked over
Trying to discover
… if it’s over
Please hear what I say
You can live to see the day

I’ve looked the Queen Of Spades in the eye
Trying to determine if we’ll die
Please hear what I say
You can live to see the day

The devil wanted to wrestle
Swear I didn’t want the hassle
When forced to do what I have to do
I’ll rise to
Please hear what I say
You can live to see the day
Seize the day!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m my life measured in time
My lifetime
All the time that I’m
My lifetime
I’ve never experienced anything like this before
In my experience, thought nevermore
Not in my lifetime

The persistence of existence
My lifetime
Find the path of least resistance
In my lifetime

No, I’ve never seen anything like this before
Not in my lifetime
The mortal out-of-order… amiss
Not in my lifetime

LYRICS
When you start to go to squared
Cubed
10th to the nth
Linear thinkers
And flat Earth seekers
Went to take a vote
On a sinking ship
Without a lifeboat
Holy $hit
History
Her story
This story

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The city that doesn’t sleep, slept
As the corn beef on the corner wept
Alcatraz on lockdown
Watching the sun go down
Waiting for humanity to run
Now our time has come
Flow through the veins of the vain
Life’s blood and a stick in the mud
A spare rib from Adam’s side
Take a human for a ride
Maintain (ing) stride
Create a heartbeat and running feet
Run the message far and wide
We can turn the tide!
Toward the next sunrise
Run!
Realize the prize
Run!
Preach: It’s within reach

LYRICS
I’m just sitting here wondering
What the whole world is doing
’cause from within here
It isn’t clear
If we’re still spinning?
(Haven’t found…
… if we’re turning round)

I’m just sitting here pondering
What the whole world is wondering
’cause from within here
It isn’t clear
If we’re still spinning?
(Haven’t found…
… if we’re turning round)

Am I just sitting here squandering
All the time I’ve been given?
’cause from within here
It isn’t clear
If we’re still spinning?
(Haven’t found…
… if we’re turning round)

LYRICS
Well, I’m lockdown in my lowdown
I’m lockdown, lockdown blue
Don’t know if I can take it…
If I can make it
… through
Whatcha gonna due/do?

This train doesn’t stop in Ardmore
Any more
As a matter of fact,
It’s off the track
Straight up locked down State Store
Can’t swallow life on the rocks any more
Thought I had beer for a fortnight
Sure didn’t count that right
Meltdown
Way down
I’m lockdown in my lowdown
I’m lockdown, lockdown blue
Don’t know if I can take it…
If I can make it
… through
Whatcha gonna due/do?

Doctor, Doctor!
All the doctors thick in sick
Can’t do nuthin’
No not a bit
To restore me…
Nor cure me
… of this hissy fit
