bookmark_borderHeart’s Been Cubed

LYRICS
They say his heart cubed that day
From that day forever clued
Heart’s been cubed (Heart³)
Forever clued

He never would behave that way
Once his heart grew that day
From that day forever clued
Heart’s been cubed
Forever clued

Feel the hate just fade away
(Hate dissipate)
Now that your love made way
Heart’s been cubed
Forever clued

“And what happened then? Well, in Whoville they say that the Grinch’s small heart grew three sizes that day. And then the true meaning of Christmas came though, and the Grinch found the strength of ten Grinches plus two.”

Chords: Dm F7(13) / F C Dm; 123 BPM

LYRICS
How come?
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum
Were sitting on a fence
Tweedle Dee fell off… hence
Dumb was founded
Dumbfounded abounded
It seems to me
Tweedle Dee’s destiny — one with Humpty Dumpty

All the King’s horses
And all the King’s men
All the King’s horses
Know where men have been
All the King’s horses
And all the King’s men
No never put together again
No never put together
No matter the “whether”
… never
Free dumb’s brain forever restrained
Banned from this land wrought with free thought

LYRICS
Sometimes time is out of time

Sometimes time steps out of time
Sometimes time is out of time
Sometimes you find… out of time

My favorite thing with time —
It will rhyme with rhyme
Time rhyme

Time and time again
In time, time runs out of time
In the end….

— The End

Hey, hey, ha, ha, mama, love the way you rumba
Hey, hey, ha, ha, mama, love the way you cha-cha
The way you move when in the groove

Hot, hot, foxy lady, love the you foxtrot
Yup, yup, country, too… do love the way you 2-step
The way you move when in the groove

Hello, let’s go, ya know, let’s go to the disco
Spin ’round, get down, we’re bound… we’re going to Motown

The way you rock it in-the-pocket

LYRICS
How I wish you were nearer
To help me think a little clearer
Now phased, dazed and confuse
Mind tattered, battered and bruised
How I wish you were nearer
To help me think a little clearer
Brain tazed, razed, lobotomized
Mind scattered, shattered, compromised

The comfort you bring
Is so comforting
Hear angels sing
Here angels sing

LYRICS
Perhaps too fond
Of playing James Bond
(Grew too fond
Of playing James Bond)

Thyself conned
Playing James Bond
About conceit… admitting defeat
Perhaps I’ve gone beyond
Playing James Bond
(Grew too fond
Of playing James Bond)

Realization dawn
I ain’t no James Bond
I can see… shaken and stirred… crazy
Stir crazy
A fantasy only you can see
When you’re playing James Bond
007 in hell or heaven
The magic wand of Bond

Bond. James Bond.

LYRICS
Can we build a better mouse trap than that
More like a rat
In a maze
Amazed

Lost in a maze for days
Pondering… wondering
What the heck are we doing?

While we’re here living
What in the heaven are we doing
Or well…
Are we creating our hell?

LYRICS
What is this reality
All about me
Is it all about me
What is this reality all about me
Is it all about me

As we march toward eternity
Is this my reality
As we march toward the eternal infinity
Will we get off our seat and on our feet
And come some more clearly
That we are we
It’s hard to argue that
As a matter of fact
We are we
As a matter of fact
That’s where we’re at
It’s beyond me
And my mortality
’cause I can see
More clearly
That I’m going to die
Sooner or later I’ll be “later gator”

bookmark_borderTaste

LYRICS
Now I remember…
You always leave a bad taste
Such a waste

Well, look at this
They said ignorance is bliss
‘suppose that’s your picture in the dictionary?
(So fancy and quite contrary)
Thank you for spelling it out… now, it is plain to see
What a waste
Bad taste

If you think you are cute
Ya sure ain’t astute
A fool should stay mute
When unable to refute

Ignorance is bliss?
Sure don’t miss… your kind — unkind with a narrow mind

Cry, baby, cry?
No, now I remember why I said goodbye
Because of all this, “Ignorance is bliss”
If such is this, the only bliss is…
Leaving your arrogance-in-ignorance

Haste for a good taste
Cleanse the palate
And, forget

Ya know…
Seems the wind and the snow
Got into a rift
If ya catch my drift

Fast, furious, swift
If you catch my drift

Blowin’ higher
Goin’ higher
Gettin’ dire
Startin’ to irk my ire
If ya catch my dirft

Seems the snow, ya know
Got into it… a rift… a drift
Adrift in a drift

I see society adrift
In their rift
They say they pray for a shift
Adrift in the rift
Of the drift

LYRICS
Looks like we’re staring straight into the storm
Better raise the alarm

Can you take me to the wizard
That conjured up this blizzard
… take away his royal robe
… shaking up my snow-globe

Looks like we’re staring straight into the storm
Better raise the alarm
So, I’d love to quiz the wizard
That conjured up this blizzard
See what he was thinking… do a mind probe
Perhaps lobotomize his frontal lobe
… shaking up our snow-globe
For crying-out-loud
It’s a total white-out out

LYRICS
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Wasn’t looking for trouble
It sounds like trouble
Hate to burst your bubble

It ain’t that novel
Now I gotta shovel
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Don’t want to grovel from the curse of the devil

It’s getting deep, deep, deep
Too deep to sweep, sweep, sweep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep…
Getting deep, deep, deep…
We’ll have to shovel
Scrapping the knuckle
Bustin’ a muscle
Taking a pummel in this struggle
Ain’t no subtle shovel
It’s getting deep, deep, deep
And if it’s gonna keep, keep, keep
Getting deep, deep, deep….
