Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Don’t you think it’s time…
We see
The entire galaxy?
Beyond the closest star
Wanna go far
Gotta get out and explore some more
Take a picture for sure
Of a whole black hole

Don’t forget your rocket
With a digital input socket
Tunes wit a groove in the pocket
A roadtrip soundtrack to rock it!

ABOUT THE SONG
You can not really take a picture of a black hole. No light escapes from a black hole, so you won’t see anything. That is why it is called a black hole; however, theoretical astronomers have attempted to take the first picture of a black hole.

Style: Progressive Rock / Space
Chords: Em D / Am C Em / C Am Em

Written at the corner of Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA.

Save Your.mp3

LYRICS
Going to take a ride
On the outgoing tide
Going to catch a wave
Lifeguards who save
We’re on our way
To save the day

Your current situation
Undercurrent navigation
I’m in to help you swim
The struggle we’ll win
We’re on our way
To save the day

We’re all caught in a squall
Mizzen mast took a fall
Main sail’s ready to fail
Get ready to bail
We’re on our way
To save the day

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about the need for great American superheros.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If your best trick’s drastic
Irony of a one-trick-pony
Ain’t that funny
When it cuts ya to the quick
Chorus:
As I’m watching the fish jumping
Head scratching as I’m thinking
Which am I… fish or fly
Which will die… swallow or fry

Can I only face the surface
Or am I willing to dive deep
If we don’t outpace the human race
Ya won’t even hear a peep
(chorus)
Bold to assume both I’ll consume?
Please remain king of the food chain
Yet no matter how hard I try
My know-how’s gonna die
(chorus)
No sense to weep. No sense to cry.
Distraught knot?
Distraught not!

[The fish eats the fly
Then both are eaten by I
We’re all going to die
Would you rather be swallowed or fried?]

LYRICS
Will I recognize you
After we breakthrough
When we reside on the other side
Will we begin again
Starting already knowing
Wondering when the outside we’re in
May the blackness of the heavens
Turn to pure white light
Soul is soaked in safe havens
All is justified just right

Dead but not gone
Playing a long song
Through the light of the night… an eternal dawn
In the light incites
Your light is in my sites
I know I’ll recognize your glow
In the light insights
Your light is in my sights
I know I’ll recognize your glow

“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near.”

LYRICS
Any way to say if you’ll be here today
Any way to know when you’re going to go?
We made the bed we’re going to sleep in
Our best friends and closest of kin

Will I sense that my time has come
Give me a chance before I’ve come undone
Rather dance with crazies then pushing up daisies
All too soon we’re howling at the moon
Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death
Not choosing the path of the devil’s wrath
If She’s calling me to the Promised Land
When it’s time to come home, I understand

LYRICS
The sky’s eyes cry
The eyes of the sky cry
Raining tears of joy
Going to wash and dry
Mother Nature’s toy
Man can try as he can
But he can’t begin
To comprehend
The need to cleanse and mend
Don’t take the bait
To self-annihilate
Quick before it’s too late
Self-inflicted wound
Again and again
Self-inflicted wound
’till you turn your mound
Into a mountain
Again and again
Self-annihilation nation
Desolation Boulevard
Runnin’ through your backyard
Traffic jam of fossil fuel fools
They say they saw the sign, “Humanity, USA — Left”
So they turned around and went home alone
Bye-bye
The sky’s eyes cry
Bye-bye
The eyes of the sky cry
Bye-bye

LYRICS
Is this going to be big
Is it going to be epic
Quick, cut to the quick
Big… large?
Who’s in charge?
Don’t want to be seasick
Got to cut to the quick
Is it going to be big… is it going to be epic
It looks like this is going to be epic
Dig… dig deep… is it going to be big? Dig!
Is it going to be XXL… who’s in charge?
Who’s in charge to be in charge
Cut to the quick, quick!
Will you please appease and cut to the quick, quick
It seems the seams of the dreams have come un-stitched
Reincarnation itch
Is it a bitch?
We can do better
The fact of the matter… it matters, in fact, we can do better
It seems the seams seep reality… for me… you and me… we… reality

LYRICS
If we envision the vision
Of what we want to do
Envision the vision is mission
To make the dream come true

If we just tune our attitude
From be flat (Bb) to see natural (C♮)
There will be enough soul food
To satisfy us all

If we just take the time
To see the reason in the rhyme
It will be natural (B♮) to see sharp (C#)
Floating like a butterfly… happy as a lark

Live it in your mind’s eye
From slow motion into overdrive
It’s easy to give ‘er a try
Delivers the reason for being alive

The Milky Way

LYRICS
Suckling the nipples of the Milky Way
Singing spirituals of a better day
Through the nectar of stardust, we weigh
Through the dust to dust, we will return someday

A snake eating it’s own tail
Talk about an epic fail
Want to write a better tale
Into the galaxy we sail

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a blackhole and sucked up inside her
Making more mortality a blur (more mortality)

Just for fun run ’round the sun
As we make our way
So our mass may pass
Into the future past

Run ’round The Sun.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG

To say “we are stardust” may be a cliche, but it’s an undeniable fact that most of the essential elements of life are made in stars.

“For the first time, we can now study the distribution of elements across our Galaxy,” says Sten Hasselquist of New Mexico State University. “The elements we measure include the atoms that make up 97% of the mass of the human body.”

The new results come from a catalog of more than 150,000 stars; for each star, it includes the amount of each of almost two dozen chemical elements. The new catalog includes all of the so-called “CHNOPS elements” – carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur – known to be the building blocks of all life on Earth. This is the first time that measurements of all of the CHNOPS elements have been made for such a large number of stars.

A pinprick in the night
A sliver of starlight
Then quick… with the millionth pinprick
Can’t count all the lights in sight
You know… when the horizon starts to glow
It won’t be long till dawn’s daylight
You know your star is rising
Cock’s crow… sunrise… good morning
Good news: good knews
Is coming our way
Who knows… no no’s

In A Mind.mp3

LYRICS
In a mind down in the gutter
Pick it up and feel better
Being kind sure does matter
Me as debtee or debtor?
Waiting at the pearly gates
Don’t wanna be a faster regretter
Is my will free or is it fate’s
Name in The book letter-for-letter?

In line on their judgement day
Will I be searching for words to say
Don’t want it all to end that way
Want to go feet first… no debts to pay

On the fence at heaven’s gate
Don’t want to teeter ‘fore St. Peter
Repent offense ‘fore it’s too late
Wanna be in time with the master’s meter
[Sir Vent your servant]

Finding I’m pining
Longing too long

Quackin’ heart breakin’ is what I’m thinking of

LYRICS
Pulling out of the station
Headin’ down the track
No need to bother lookin’ back
If you are out there ahead
Don’t look over your shoulder
Lessons you learn growin’ older

I better pay attention
Or I might miss my stop
Pay attention… stay on top
Or find the end-of-the-line
No! Please not that… It’s not my time
I tell ya doctor, “I feel fine!”

Glass half-full of satisfaction
On my way to saturation
Cup overflows with jubilation
When every day’s a celebration
Thankful for all of creation
Reaching self-realization
Pulling into my destination

LYRICS
Do you want to feel up
Well, if you uplift
Do you want to feel high
Can’t buy… give the gift
(Get by… give the gift)
Loving unconditional
Embracing all
Loving is medicinal
Embraced by all
Don’t ever give up hope in the future
Don’t ever give up faith in the kids
Do fill up your heart till it’s spillin’ over
So the “should haves” are always “glad we dids”
