LYRICS
If ever there were ever to be a bliss
It would be bliss just like this
Miss Bliss

Feel the mist
Just like this
Bliss

This bliss
this is it
The bliss
Miss Bliss through the mist

A nod through the fog
Thinly veiled
Message arrived in the mailed
Message mailed
Miss Bliss is alive

Unclench the fist
Feel the mist
The misfit
Of misfit
Of Miss Bliss
Let go of dole
Her soul
Miss Bliss
Let go of your troll
Her sole
This bliss

Right here
In the comfort
So near
The comfort
This bliss
Embraced
This bliss
Embrace
This bliss

I’d just published an article about Music Can Ease the Pain and went to the park to create a song. While getting the groove on, a stranger arrived on the scene. It turned out to be Branden Bauer, and he had a guitar in his trunk. After introductions, we recorded the guitars on a park bench in Marshall Square Park.

LYRICS
There seems to be something missing in the middle of our mission
It starts at the heart
There’s something missing in the middle of our mission
Seems to start right at the heart

Something missing in the middle of our mission
Look at that
It starts right at the heart

Guess you don’t know about the glow?
You’d think we’d know about the glow

Something missing in the middle of our mission
Ain’t feelin’ much like fishin’
They can wait to cast my bait
I already know
It starts at the heart
I know it’s with the flow
It starts at the heart
There ain’t no glow!
It starts at the heart

The glow flow starts at the heart

LYRICS
It stands to reason
If the other side of the other of Earth is made of earth
Making me wonder… is the other side of living… more like earth or heaven

It stands to reason
Maybe the opposite season
But nevertheless
More or less —
Earth
(Heaven on Earth)

It stands to reason
On the other side

On the other side of Earth
What’s it made of… earth?
On the other side

No, not quite ready to ride
If it’s high tide here is it low tide there
I don’t want to arrive at the wrong tide
On the other side
If it’s high tide here is it low tide there
If so, I want to beware
On the other side

Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.

LYRICS
State Police go flying by
With their lights blazing
Makes a man wonder why
Sirens are blaring
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

Lead that led to death’s bed
Turns the living to the dead
Makes a man wonder why
Someone’s gotta die
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

Wedding of clothing with shedding blood
Brings an out pouring… an emotional flood
Makes a man wonder why
There’s a final good-bye
Shootout at the county seat
Justice dealt another defeat

LYRICS
Constitution… Bill Of Rights… enumeration
Shed some light to end the fight… illuminated
No 1st Amendment abandonment
Say your piece on peace
Release the captive native
Wouldn’t you say you were born in the USA

Institution of incarceration… electrocution
Ask yourself why we wanna hang ’em high
Count the reasons for our killing season
The number of malfeasance
Lesions of the brain… insane in the membrane

Landfill’s filled… gonna have ‘ta quit

LYRICS
There was a farmer who had a dog
No sense in being a hog
Now give the dog a bone

You’re only going to eat the meat
Why not give the dog a treat
Yeah, give the dog a bone

We’re garbage prone
When left to our own
Devices our vices

In the gasp of a flash we’ve made more trash
Better find a real solution to all of our pollution
Like “give the dog a bone”

You’re only going to eat the flesh
What about the rest of the mess
The “give the dog the bone”
