LYRICS
Four-leaf clover
Forever an endeavor
Now and ever more
Lucky for a ground score
Lucky is pure for sure
Now there’s one more
Godspeed
May the force be with you
Indeed
Hallelujah, too
Heads-up penny
Bright and shiny
Call that lucky
Rabbit foot tale
All toast with ale
Luck, never fail
Good luck
Lined up duck
I beg
Break a leg

LYRICS
Surprise gave rise
To the unexpected
Surprise gave rise
To myths erected
Learned my lesson well
You never can tell
Straight up to heaven
Or right out of hell

Surprise gave rise
To startled
Surprise gave rise
To heart-held
If you don’t choose
More likely to lose
Gateway to heaven
Of hangman’s noose

Surprise gave rise
To appreciated
Surprise gave rise
To alleviated
Come to realize
Our life’s prize
A birth on Earth
Is given heaven

LYRICS
Trying to choose the best words
To describe the flight of birds
It may take a 1,000 words
To ensure the best picture
Flying… soaring… taking wing
Hovering over everything

What’s the best way to say
Unbelievable
Am I capable… am I able
To describe an upside glide

Trying to find a way to say
How it is I feel for you
It may take a 1,000 days
For me to count all the ways

Feel amateur at the prose
Describing how love arouse
It may take a 1,000 words
Drawing the flight of

LYRICS
What’s all the buzz
About the fuzz
This heat is beat
Breeding defeat
Why don’t you just calm down
And take a look around
Stop! Look! Listen…
Spirits kissin’

What if the pig
Learned how to jig
‘stead of dig
Jig
Why don’t you just calm down
And take a look around
Stop! Look! Listen…
Spirits kissin’

Scale back blue
To just a few
… just a few
Of the good ones will do
Why don’t you just calm down
And take a look around
Stop! Look! Listen…
Spirits kissin’

LYRICS
Thought about it once
Thought about it twice
The thought might be nice
To begin to think again
Thought there was a chance
They’d let us dance
It really is no sin… to begin
When the band begins to play
It doesn’t matter what they say
When the band begins to play
We’re going to dance anyway
Hey! What are you doing
… begin to think again
Now that I’ve thought it through
I know just what to do
Grab your hand and dance with you

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The ice caps are melting
Nor’easterner’s whipping
While methane is leaking
Mother Nature’s weeping
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Look deep in the core
CO2… so much more
Man’s destruction of the land
I just don’t understand
Watching species die
You know the reason why

I suspect all the insects
Will out live the vertebrae
Wanted! The global warming suspects
Will man ever see the day
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Does anybody care
About saving the tree
What about the world we share
Or is it only me?
Watching species die
You know the reason why

Deep In The Core.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about Donald Trump pulling out of the Paris Climate Change agreement and our impact on global warming. Music inspired by John Lennon’s Yer Blues:
Want to die
If I ain’t dead already

LYRICS
No need to hide
Come on outside
Please give a taste
of showing your face
We’d love you to grace
Don’t let it go to waste
Will you come out and play
On such a beautiful day
We’ll show you the way
To a sunny foray
Wrestle with the sol
Wrestle with the sole soul
Set the control for heart of the sol/soul
Finding souls swimming in fish bowls

LYRICS
Both sides of the head
Eyes
Both sides of the head
I’s
Do you see me
Beyond hypocrisy
Past the haze phase
A field of clarity
The future ways / weighs?
No need for charity
Present day daze
Past the vanity
Where the vast past
Fades to amaze
Can you see me
Bringing on infinity
No dividing by zero?
Know dividing by zero

ABOUT THE SONG
“Division by zero is undefined. Since any number multiplied by zero is zero, the expression 0/0 also has no defined value; when it is the form of a limit, it is an indeterminate form.”

Oh, so kind

Beginning feeling
Nourishing
Beginning seeing you’re nourishing

Elevator up
Elevate emotions
Emotion elevation
Elevate your day

Going Up!
Going Up!

Above the clouds high
Nothing but blue sky
Above the clouds high
Swimming through blue

Elevator up
Elevate emotions
Emotion elevation
High road’s the way

Let your voice take wing
And like the birds sing
Why not give it a try
Spread your wings and fly

Do you enjoy soaring
Courage… lions roaring
No need for compromising
When everyone is rising

LYRICS
I’m afraid to ask you
“What are you up to?”
So maybe just
A “How do you do?”
Do I really want to hear
’bout pain n’ sufferin’
Again and again
Oh, dear!
What’s going on here…
Pain n’ sufferin’

When I ask, “How are things going?
When I say, “How are you doing?”
Your reply, “Fine.”
Time after time
“Fine”
All of the time
Get a grip on my stiff upper lip
I’m feeling fine
At any rate, how about “great”?
I’m feeling fine

LYRICS
I know a place we can go
A little enclave that nature saved
Through the trees seize a breeze
Away form the Earth that we paved
If you bring q guitar the birds will sing
Leaves relieved dance in the breeze
Branches bend swaying to and fro
As the band picks up the tempo
Here we go!

In the shade under the trees
Thoughts run free… do as they please
Shielded from the hot sun
Yielded to life… having fun

Have it made living simply
On our path to carefree
Carefully tread on heavenly
There we’ll be living happily

LYRICS
Pointing the finger at the instigator
Which instigator is greater
Which impact left the greater crater?
Can’t you see
When you point 1 at me
3 point to thee
The instigator agitator
To say the very least
You’re the destroyer of peace
You’re claim to fame is shame
The peace annihilator
The semen of the demon
The scourge of Babylon
The lies go on and on
The freedom devastator

LYRICS
Did you ever wake up too early in the morning
Wondering what is happening
Did someone move the Earth
Or God give birth?
Wonder what is happening…
Or be what is happening?
No, I am not stymied
No, know I am
No, know I’m me’d
Won’t concede
Too the darkside
Ride to the lightside
Left the wrong side
Ride with the rightside
Begin being
Begin being the happening
Don’t wait for the Earth to shake
Wake!

LYRICS
In the fears of the gears
The head hog of the cog
Lost a tooth
Nevermore to tell the truth
The clock made a face
As it lost track of time
Cron’s eternal disgrace
There’s no reason nor rhyme
Nevertheless
Based on man’s freewill
Time stands still
Much to the distress of progress
Captain, check the log
We’ve lost a cog
Monkey wrench in the works
Now the works won’t work
Humanity’s in a fog
Raised by a toothless cog
