LYRICS
Please Navigator
Set navigation for the location
Of under blue skies
Under blues sky
Is it time to fly?

Navigator,
By the way…
Is time for me to say
We’re shoving off
Enough’s enough
See ya later
Navigator?

Please, Navigator… set navigation for the location
Of Blues skies
Where the spirit flies

Happy
And know why
Happy I’m alive to be I
Eye to eye
Under blues sky
I can see, see, see

LYRICS
Come out of the dark
Meet me in the park
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day
And, when the sun does set
We won’t be done yet
Gaining insight into the night

Let’s shift out of park
Into drive… embark
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day

Chorus

Come out on a lark
Imagination spark
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day

bookmark_borderHow to Play the Blues

LYRICS
Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You didn’t earn the blues

Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You don’t deserve the blues

All the time you try
Wasted moments ’till we die
Personal pie-in-the-sky
Question your existence — why?

Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You didn’t earn the blues

Without selfishness
Devoid of ignorance
Never pretentious
No arrogance

Chorus

LYRICS
Glad you made it to my gig
So happy to see you jig
No. Don’t choose sorrow
Not today… not tomorrow

The smile on your face
The gleam in your eye
Bring joy to the place
Don’t need to try

Kathleen, what you bring to the scene
Kathleen, do you know what I mean

Invite me in to have some fun
Show compassion… and then some

LYRICS
There’s a monkey in the circus
And he’s dressed like us
There’s a monkey in the circus
And he walks like us
There’s a monkey in the circus
Reminds us of us
(a little too much like us)

There’s a lion in the zoo
Thinks he’s king of us, too
There’s a lion in the zoo
But he’s caged like us, too
There’s a lion in the zoo
Are we lying to ourselves, too?

There’s a man in our home
So we’re not alone
There’s a man in our home
Saying it ain’t ours to own
There’s a man in our home
Turns out I’m his clone
There’s a man in our home
Guess I’m not alone

LYRICS
When I catch myself being rote
Makes me feel like such a dope
And then I begin
By saying it all over again
Repetitious rote
On remote
Control
That ain’t rock n’ roll
When I catch myself being rote
Makes me feel like such a dope
Is there any hope?
When I listen to what is true
Hope to convey it to you
Hope to relay it to you
Hope I can say it… to you

Won’t save my love for a few
Though trite it’s not spew
I’m saying, “I love you”
Remote from being rote
I love you

LYRICS
Under your wing
I find it hard to sing
Though you think it best
This isn’t your nest
Now it’s time we try to fly
Our fly away day

You think you may know what’s best
But we contest
Me… and all the rest
Learning how to bequest
Is what She suggests
Digest wisdom
Then give some

Transcending the wedge
With knowledge
Acknowledge
Abolish abolish

LYRICS
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Catch a figger’ by the toe
And, if you can’t figure the figure
Let it go!

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Go figure
Before you learn about a hair trigger
A bull’s eye
A bull’s I

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Do you know
Hot potato?
One potato, two potato, three potato, four. Five potato, six potato, seven potato, more.
That’s it
I think “you’re it!”
Look to the east
Look to the west
Look to the one you love best

Put you right arm in put your left arm out
Put your bear to arms in and shake it all about
The fringe shall not infringe
The binge shall not infringe
The origin:
“the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

LYRICS
What you think you see ….
Is that reality?
Basically
Your reality is killing me

Oh please save me
From your reality
Your reality
Is killing me

One is one
You can’t make it undone
Two is two, too
The definition is not up to you

After all….
Who is the biggest killer of us all
It’d be us by far
No need to fear
Of them reaching near
It would be us by far

LYRICS
Reading minds
Reading between the lines
Which kind want to be kind?
Read between the lines
One finds
Reading between the lines
They’re reading minds

Man’s maneuvers
Purveyors of slayers

Come on groovers
Come on players
Help maneuver the movers
And, say “hey!” to the slayers
Hey! Don’t slay
In essence, this isn’t rocket science
Reading minds
Reading between the lines

bookmark_borderTangled In Not’s

LYRICS
As the NOT’s in the climate tangle
Need to wrangle a new angle
As the NOT’s in the climate knot
The knot of the winds increase
Sustained winds that wouldn’t cease
Then, the rain came down all around
Until the ground was awash in a flood
Up to my eyeballs in gook, muck and mud

The have’s and the have not’s
All have knots
All have knot
All in knots
Over having “not”

All the world is a stage in The Damage Age

Force 12
Hurricane’s off the shelve
Starting out at 64 knot
Yet not
Done
Sure ain’t no whatnot
Better run
Yell, fella, “To the storm cellar!”

Tangled In Not’s.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
C C# Cm C#m

A song about wind speeds (in knots) and human induced climate change.

“A universal scale of wind speed values — since the scale was originally nautical in nature, and that most wind reports at that time were in nautical miles per hour (or converted to them), these numerical values were given in knots. It was a progressive scale with the range of speed for Forces increasing as you go higher. Thus Force 1 is only 3 knots in range (1 kt – 3 kt), while the Force 11 is eight knots (56 kt – 63 kt) in range. So Force 12 [Hurricane] starts out at 64 knots (74 mph, 33 m/s).”
