LYRICS
If at first you don’t succeed
Persevere … don’t secede
… impede
… choke like a weed
… no more greed
In deed, succeed
… feed, need, heed, lead, seed, creed
We need a union now more
Than ever
Forever our endeavor

LYRICS
It’s on the tip of my tongue
Can’t put my finger on it
Is this some sort-of game
I can’t recall your name
Can’t be some “kind”-of game
’cause this ain’t kind… it’s a shame
Sorry for sounding lame
I can’t recall your name
Though in my heart you’ve fame
Stoking love’s flame

A Logical Song Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
As a matter of fact
That is that
As a matter of fact
That = That
No matter what you’ve done
1 = 1
No matter what you do
2 = 2
As long as I am
I think I can
How about you
Do you think, too?
A philosophical pop-quiz
Is what is is?
Biological drop-dead quiz
Did humanity fizzzz….

Free-radical Theory of Aging.mp3
LYRICS
Oh noooooo!
OONO
The damage age damage
Age damage Damn age
The damage of age
Oh nooooooooooo!
OONO
Worse than a Yoko to the Beatles
Oh, no
One two many free radical for us all
Oh, no
One too many free radical for us all
The dismay of decay
Don’t want to fade away
Fade away
Worse than a larva attack of beetles
Snakeoil salesman are just weasels
Damn us from the animal kingdom
Longevity travesty of me
… and, it’s getting old
Foretold
… getting old
ABOUT THIS SONG
The free radical theory of aging (FRTA) states that organisms age because cells accumulate free radical damage over time. A free radical is any atom or molecule that has a single unpaired electron in an outer shell. Strictly speaking, the free radical theory is only concerned with free radicals such as superoxide ( O2– ), but it has since been expanded to encompass oxidative damage from other reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), or peroxynitrite (OONO–)

No Deniability Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
It’s not as though we couldn’t know
Nor we could not care
It’s not as though we couldn’t forgo
Nor we were unaware
I’m guessing there’s no trying denying
That’s it — the culprit
There’s no deniability
When it comes to you and me
We know very well the certainty
The inevitability
Of our vulnerability
Creating our destiny of reality

LYRICS
Can we speed things up a little bit
Please, can we?
Of course we’re on a collision course
Plain to see
Inevitable collateral damage from the hit
Unfortunately, includes me
But, even worse…
Includes all of us
No sense in slowing down
Seize or freeze
Wear the devil’s crown
Cease to be
Can we hurry things up a bit
Please, can we?
Get a divorce from this collision course
Ohhhh humanity

Devour Life Whole Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
Going to go stand in the sun’s glow
Let the glow flow to the beat
From my head to my feet
Let the glow flow from head to toe
Under the skin from within feel the heat
Feed the soul on the shine of the divine
Devour life whole
A soup thick with music
Ripe with the sweet nectar of the guitar
Now the task to bask some in the sun
With a glance to those who dance

Song For Emily Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
We’re building a prison
You’re already in
We’re building a prison
Too late to begin
It’s time to shout,
Breakout!
‘take my freedom,
Takeout
What’s our independence all about?
They’re building a prison
I’m already in
They’re building a prison
Too late to begin
Watch the fall… Independence Hall
Watching the fall of us all
Watch the travesty of liberty
Sights our eyes should never see

Gravitational Pull Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
32 feet per second per second
Gravitational pull
The higher they climb
The faster they fall
Gonna be Mother Nature’s fool?
Gravitational pull — exponential
We’re not walking on the moon
We’ll come to learn too soon
The more indecent
Sense decent
Acceleration — gravitational
Smaller steps are what you take
Walking on the Earth
For crying out loud! For goodness sake!
Be a creature… or afterbirth?
We’re not walking on the moon
We’ll come to learn too soon
The more indecent
Sense decent

LYRICS
Where ever you may roam
Whichever way you go
Your heart is your home
Where ever you may start
Whatever you may know
Your home is in your heart
The love part
Is in the heart
The love part
Is in your heart
Get shot in the heart
A love injection
Get shot in the heart
Spreading like an infection
Get shot in the heart
A love laced dart
Get lanced in the heart

Obscured By Clouds Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
As I look up in the sky
Watching and waiting for the clouds to roll by
I wonder what shape they will take
I wonder what picture we’ll make
Just for fun
The clouds obscure the sun
As I look up… wonder why
Watching and waiting for the crowds to roll by
I wonder… for goodness sake
When will we start to quake?
Just for fun
The clouds obscure the sun

LYRICS
Fool me one time
Fool me two times
Fool me three times and I’ll have to think twice
* I’m starting to think
That won’t happen tonight
(If that’s alright?)
Fool me one time
Fool me two times
Fool me three times and I’ll have to think twice
*
Fool me one time
Fool me twice
And I’m done throwing dice
*
Fool me one time
Then do it again
It’s time for foreboding to begin
… just a warning… the dog does bite
ABOUT THIS SONG

Based on a conversations about contrails. Clouds are clouds. They are made of H2O / water. That is it. When air passes through jet engines, it creates linear clouds. There are no added chemicals… for that is not possible.

Shake Your Head Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
Shake your head
Get the dust our of bed
Shed your troubles
Pray it doubles
When you dance
There’s a chance
We will glance
A glimpse of reality
When you dance
There’s a chance
Non-circumstance
Is sur-reality
