Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If life does concern
You live and you learn
How to discern
* Whether you’re dead
Time to feed my head:
[A A# B]

* What’s been said

* What you dread

* … how to butter your bread

* Where a horse is led
(Do you think you can make her drink?)

LYRICS
Some of us won’t back down
When we’re out on a ledge
Some of us will fall down
Going over the edge
And it’s hard to hide
Swallowing your pride
Why not bail the ride
Is it time to turn the tide?

Some of us take the risk
Other’s are wanting to hedge
Risk of stop and frisk
Pushing of the edge
(chorus)

Some of us pay no mind
Other’s way in to judge
Discern and we may find
Going over the edge
(chorus)

LYRICS
Turn it upside down
Turn it inside out
Twist and turn it ’round
Somewhere logic’s found
What’s this life about?
Get up in the morning
Go to sleep at night
Death comes without warning
Mourning is life’s blight
So while I’m able
Take my seat at the table
You can rest assured
My voice will be heard

Turn it inside out
Turn it upside down
Twist and turn it ’round
Somewhere logic’s found
What’s this life about?
Laboring all day long
Hope to see the light
Want to feel alright
Whistle a happy song
So while I’m able
Take my seat at the table
You can rest assured
My voice will be heard

bookmark_borderFear Itself

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
There is nothing to fear
Why there’s nothing to fear here
Isn’t clear
Even stranger
Is the clear and present danger
Has no manager
Just a fool with a deadly tool
Far out-of-control
As a matter of fact
Off the tracks
Full body roll

After all the virus among us
Has gone viral
For real
In the thickness of the sickness
The President hellbent
Mentally absent
(chorus)

ABOUT THE SONG
Inspired by our mindless President and the coronavirus.
Style: Protest Rock

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The bright lights eternal allure
Edge of my seat wanting more
Leave them there
Overtly aware
They’re wanting more
“What’s in store?”
Stomp your feet
Clap your hands
Sing along, “One more song!”

Light up nights at my core
Edge of the seat wanting more

Souls take flight
Audience roar
Stand on my seat
Wanting more

Out of sight
Last encore
Show so sweet
Wanting more

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The “ism” of hypocricy
Is the ego in our democracy
Let the heart take part
To negate the hate
Radiate
The love of light
(Glowing in the twilight of insight)
Out of the shadows
Into the meadows
Of the mind
Inherent of the kind that’s kind
Comes to mind
… I find

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Three sixty-five and a quarter days
Hard to split in so many ways
Yet I find it hard to see
Why add one after three?

So, I have to hesitate
When I say February has twenty-eight
Still I find it hard to see
Why add one after three?

I get four quarters make one
Though I’m still left wonderin’
Where the date came to mind
February twenty-nine?
[You know… why not January 0…
… or bonus Christmas on December 32, too?]

Posted on by admin

Another day older
A lot more perplexed
You are no bolder
With muscle flexed
Since when did the scene
Turn so mean
Return to the cream
Resurge the dream
Since when did the scene
Turn so mean
Return to the cream
Rising uprising

Another day older
Yet no more wise
Heart growing colder
Still I’m surprised
(chorus)

Another cold shoulder
Shivers my spine
Should I hold her
She’ll feel fine
(chorus)

LYRICS
You do the hoochie coo
You do, you do, you do
You do the hoochie coo
Held together with cosmic glue
Now knowing what I knew
La de da de da da de do

Better than the voodoo
You do, you do, you do
Better than the voodoo
Held together… interstellar glue
Now knowing what I knew
La de da de da da de do

No way to feel blue
Thank you, thank you, thank you
No way to feel blue
Held together… celestial glue
Now knowing what I knew
La de da de da da de do

LYRICS
Arrive at the doorstep
A secret that’s well kept
A surprise is due for you
An innovation in invitation
Rehearsing in reverse
A meditation in activation
Arrive to bring it alive

We’ll bring our own party
Can hardly be tardy
A surprise is due for you

Well how did you like it
We hope quite a good bit
The surprise was due for you

bookmark_borderTemptress Of Joy

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Since when did being a good boy
Mean you couldn’t have a fun
Perhaps the temptress of joy is coy
And your reality done
Turning your world upside down
All your silly notions start to drown
How’s it feel
Knocked back on your heel
For real?

Since when did being a good man
Mean you couldn’t get some
Perhaps the temptress of joy is coy
And your reality done
Turning your world upside down
All your silly notions start to drown
How’s it feel
Knocked back on your heel
For real?

Since when did being a wise man
Mean you can’t appear dumb
Perhaps the temptress of joy is coy
And your reality done
Turning your world upside down
All your silly notions start to drown
How’s it feel
Knocked back on your heel
For real?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Now here we lay
No longer led astray
The victor of the day
Now peace is on the way
O.K.
Oh the feel of love we’re soaking in
Let the fantasy we’ve dreamed begin

Took the load off our feet
Makes us light in the head
Though tired… feeling beat
Not quite ready for bed
… she said
Oh the feel of love we’re soaking in
Let the fantasy we’ve dreamed begin

Forever is a lifetime
To ask you to be mine
To put it quite simply
Be the one to ask me
My plea
Oh the feel of love we’re soaking in
Let the fantasy we’ve dreamed begin

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What went up
Use to come down
Now there’s no logic
Anywhere around
The clocks are running backwards
In reverse takes you forward
Left left right
Right left out of spite

What goes around
Use to come around
Now there’s no reason
Anywhere around

What comes to life
Use to die
Don’t ask why
Death we do defy
