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

Livin’ in The Damn Damage Age

bookmark_borderBittersweet Suite

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

bookmark_borderComing Attractions

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

bookmark_borderSink My Teeth Into

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

LYRICS
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?

LYRICS
Which is the best route to go
Please tell me
Best to go high or low
Hear my plea
One for the money
Two for the show
Three part harmony

The most important to know
Please tell me
Are you friend or are you foe
Can I see
One for the money
Two for the show
Three part harmony

These are the things that we know
To help your innards glow

LYRICS
As a matter of fact
I could get into that
When I hear you say
Let’s sail away
To a place
As a unifying race
At a pace
In hyper-sonic space
Slide into glide

Now that you mention it
Sounds like a good habit
When T hear you play
Let’s sail away
To a place
As a unifying race
At a pace
In hyper-sonic space
Slide into glide

LYRICS
Don’t have a heart attack
Nor a stroke
Immunity’s out of whack
And that’s no joke
This change sure is strange
Times far beyond bizarre
This disease is nothing to sneeze at
Knee-jerk reaction
Gut over brain to combat
Immune system satisfaction
Times far beyond bizarre
My jaw left ajar

LYRICS
The world is still open
From here to the moon
I’ll keep on coping
Make a run to the sun
The world is still open
Sure I’ll see you soon
We’ll keep on coping
Till all time’s undone
Blue sky
Green scene
Times fly
Years smear
Into the sun!
So glad
We’ve had
Fair share
Aware
Into the sun!

LYRICS
Catch or throw
Do you know
I don’t know
Yes or no
And or or
As before
And and/or
Maybe more
Before you even make a peep
Shouldn’t we look before we leap
Lovers keep

To or fro
Do you know
I don’t know
To or fro
Rich or poor
As before
Pouring poor
So much more
Before your words start to seep
Shouldn’t we look before we leap
Love is deep
