LYRICS
How long?
Then, when?
Will we right the wrong?
Welcome to the unknown zone

We’re sure we’re unsure
OF the suffering to endure
Gain the knowledge of pain
Or in bliss remain?

Welcome to the unknown zone
No help to cry. No help to moan.
Hoping I’m not alone
For the raising of the spirit
Ahhh… Want to hear it

A song that makes us smile
Been unknown for quite a while
No longer own the unknown
For I know it’s true:
I love you
Yes, I do

LYRICS
Watching the pendulum swing
Perpetual dumb on the wing
You can try and try
Piling lie upon lie
But you can’t make the truth die

The nation gasps a collective sigh
Dumbfounded… why, why, why?
The scales of justice must balance
At heaven’s gate there’s no second chance

Watching the pendulum swing
It’s time to question everything
Though you try and try
Supporting a lie with a lie
You know you can’t make the truth die

Watching the pendulum swing
Certain the future will bring
Justice for us
The truth we’ll unveil
We’ll prevail
Making the call
Justice for all

Hearts Attack
Hearts Attack

LYRICS
Before it was too late
The hearts heard of the hate
Arm me with an army
Heart attacks
Plug the holes where love lacks
Hearts attack
The humanity comeback

Before it was too late
The hearts heard of our fate
A leg up… arm me
Heart attacks
Quadruple bypass where love lacks
Heart attacks
The flow of love comes back

Sure hope it’s not too late
For your heart to participate
Early heart attack care
Are you aware?
It’s time to start
Arm your heart
Pick up love’s slack… attack!

ABOUT THE SONG
While sitting in the hospital’s waiting room, I saw a brochure entitled “Early Heart Attack Care”. It inspired a song about the love in your heart.

LYRICS
Spend your life hanging on a wall
Wondering if anyone is looking at all
Canvasing the canvas with finesse
A pallet of colors for a dress
Picture this
A perfect world… nothing amiss
Picture this
Spotlight above gives a light kiss

Do you know Rembrandt or Picasso
Have you had a brush with fame
The unique aura that you throw
No two quite the same
[chorus]

Forever in a static state
Never to escape your landscape
All you life you wait and wait
To be auctioned at estate
[chorus]

ABOUT THE SONG
While waiting in a waiting room, I saw a picture hanging around. She reminded me of a metaphor about wanting to be famous.

LYRICS
Our rush hour
Voltage thread
Display of power
’til but one dead
Understanding
Last man standing
Meaning we’re all going to die
Procreate alone? No, not I
No matter how hard I try
Our race to end our race
Congratulation! First place
[We’ve got a winner… want a cigar or mug of beer? I fear]
Will there be later
In this simulator
Folklore failure
Of the incubator
The premature
Exterminator
Outta luck
Better duck
’cause it’s a cluster#uck

LYRICS
In case you are mixed up
The world is a flux
It keeps on changing
If times are the same
Why the different name
All the rearranging

Et tu, Brutus?
In the back of all of us
Shaking my head in disgust
… kicking up dust

What will it take
Not to make the same mistake
Is flux a fake
An in the grass snake?

Wading in the sands of time
Will I find…
I’m sinking quick (sand quicksand quick sand)
Can anytime be mine
Will I find
I’m a fleeting man, and….

Slows.mp3

LYRICS
Chinese water torture
Drip, drip, drip
Wait for the future
Tick, tick, tick
You know how it goes
Waiting as time slows

Patients’ patience endure
How much more
Wait for the future
Tick, tock, tick
You know how it goes
Waiting as time slows

No debate… running late
Flip-flop, flip-flop
Slowing time’s rate
Tick-tock, tick-tock
You know how it goes
Waiting as time slows

Hurry up and wait
Stop, stop, stop, stop
The moments hesitate
Tick-tock, tick-tock
You know how it goes
Waiting as time slows

LYRICS
Heavy on the light side
Light on the bright side
Making the gray go away
Growing more and more leery
Of reigning on the dreary
May sunlight’s ray
Come your way
Sunshine does fine
To lighten your day

Growing more and more tired
Of bureaucrats mired
May politicians you slay
Clear the way
Logic is quick
To save the day

Growing more and more certain
Our love will grow again
May sunlight’s ray
Come your way
Sunshine does fine
To lighten your day

I Have To Go.mp3

LYRICS
Just thought you should know
I gotta go
The pace of this show is too slow
Oh no no no no
I gotta go

Have I made you aware
I’m outta there
The pace of this show is slo-mo
Oh no no no no
I gotta go

Am I being clear
Don’t wanna be here
The plotless show goes on and on
Ain’t the pawn
I am gone

Yes the happy me
I get to flee
We brought the curtain down
Bye-bye frown
I’m outta town

LYRICS
What about us
Are we generous
Have we felt
Opportunities to help
The hand dealt
Understand
A hand to hold
Behold

Generosity
A sign of humanity
Curiosity
Of insanity
Can you have wealth
And mental health?
The richer you are
Makes compassion far
Come in close
For love’s dose
Generosity
Some fine ‘ole humanity
Humane hospitality

LYRICS
The damn damage
At any age
A clean page
From damn damage
Older, wiser
The sage
Life’s miser
Engage
Helping the blind to see
To be all you can be
Helping the lame to walk
The same for the mute to talk
To be all we can be
Damn damage free
Trying to cure what ails you
Trying to aid what fails you
Trying to do what we can do
Damage to zero
Trying the postponement of dying
A moment meant for living
Long as I”m living…
Going to keep on trying

LYRICS
But, but, but… but…
I don’t need to wait for room
If, and, and but
There’s plenty of room waiting
Not waiting for gloom and doom
There’s no room for debating
Navigating anticipating
In the waiting room
Time to move along
Compose a song
Write what is right
In the wellness fight
Don’t let the Reaper loom
There’s no room for negotiation
In the waiting room
Not ready for a tomb
Plenty of life left in sight
Gaining spiritual insight
In the waiting room

Going Nuclear.mp3

LYRICS
“What are you waiting for?”
1,2,3,4…
For four minutes or more
“What I’ve been waiting for”
Let me make it clear
… going nuclear
(I’d rather not be here)
Radiate the foe
A cancer growth must go
When you’ve cut out his heart
Yet, he will not depart
I fear…
You’ve got to go nuclear
“What are you waiting for?”
22,23,24…
For 24 minutes or more
“What I’ve been waiting for”
Anticipate the end of the wait
Evacuate
Clear of nuclear
“What are you waiting for?”
Before more hours
The moment’s ours
“What I’ve been waiting for”
Clear of nuclear
“What I’ve been waiting for”

LYRICS
We’ve found foundation
A movement based on solid rock
Taking stock in a phonic nation
We’ve found “ation”
Motivation. Stimulation. Activation.
Found foundation
Tap your footers
See your saws jig
Blocks of solid rock
We’ve found foundation
The notion of a movement
A motion for a foundation
Gyration. Vibration. Sensation
We’ve found “ation”
Found foudnation
Vocalization. Instrumentation. Realization.
Visualization. Penetration. Actualization.
Salvation. Our soul-ation.

LYRICS
Long ago
You had to dial your phone
… twist a parking meter
Learn to push the coin return
Earn to learn
Learn to earn
Know forego
Stagnation
Into the future roam
Fortune on the pinnacle
Watch it teeter
Watch it totter
Teeter totter
Don’t let nostalgia
Get to ya
The good ole times
Of five and dimes
Weren’t so fine
All the time
Long ago
You had to listen to the radio
To know what you didn’t know
Know forego
Imagination
Forage the future
Innovate
Create so much more
