Blast Furnace

Posted on September 13, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Well, we better get our science on
Right away

In earnest
Blast furnace

If you don’t mind bringing to the table
I mean… if you’re able
Irregardless of how you feel
Show me the melted steel

Show me the melted steel!

If you feel
Your conspiracy’s real
Please, won’t you please
Show me some melted steel

Conspiracy theorists make crazy claims about 9/11 and how steel melted at the World Trade Towers. Well, no from the establishment claims steel melted. Show me melted steel!

Conspiracy Leery

Posted on September 13, 2015September 13, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Why looky there
It’s a UFO
And did you know
It’s full of little green me
They had this conspiracy
To plot this moon landing
Called it the Apollo
Do you know?

Steel beams melt at 2750 degrees
If you please
I offer as evidence
Facts such as these
Coal burns at 850 degrees
Thereabouts for bituminous
As we measure us
So I present to you at the present time
The present of knowledge
May it give you the edge
If coal burns at 850 degrees
If you please
I offer into evidence
The notion
Of forging steel
It ain’t real
Just a conspiracy
Ain’t it plain to see
No human can
Forge steel
Not only would that be blasphemy
That would alchemy
Leading to some sort-of anarachy
Ain’t it plain to see
A conspiracy
Making me leery
Your conspiracy theory
Growing leery of conspiracy theory

Loose lips sink ships
Instead be leery of conspiracy theory
Or before you know
It could grow

On Top Of It

Posted on September 11, 2015September 11, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Riding on-top of the underbelly
And, it’s easy to see
Riding on-top
Don’t need to stop
Is it plain to see
Or is it just me?

Just passing by
Didn’t even try
Riding on-top of the underbelly
Ain’t it’s easy to see?
Is it just me?

Are ya’ll just being silly
I’m trying to say
Isn’t it plain as day
Riding on-top of the underbelly
It’s just a slaughterhouse deli

Plain as the know’s on your face
Or, are ya gonna cut it off in disgrace
Sorry, alright… just to spite
Plain as day
Wouldn’t ya say?

Parallelepiped +1

Posted on September 11, 2015September 12, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Did I mention
I’m slippin’ into another dimension
Do you want to come along, too
It’s quite a view
A sight for many, too few
So, while you’re passin’ through
Do you want to come along, too?

Slippin’ in
Into another dimension

A straight line has one dimension,
a parallelogram has two dimensions,
and a parallelepiped has three dimensions
Why not… before you die… try
Get outta line
A dimension or two
Send a parallelogram telegram
To your brain’s timeline
’cause your soul is ripe’d
Now let’s get pickin’
An extra-ordinary view
Did I mention
… slippin’ into another dimension
A view oh so fine
Step over the line

[The divine vine]

If you’ve liked the parallelepiped
Get pshyced!
’cause did I mention
… slippin’ into another dimension

Now, bring it down
Slippin’ in
In
Into
Another dimension

Parallelepiped plus one
Plus you, make two
Parallelepiped plus one
Makes for a new point-of-view
You comin’ along, too?

In Time

Posted on September 11, 2015September 11, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
It’s only a matter of time
’till we find reason to the rhyme

Things might appear a little fuzzy
All purple and kind-of hazy
But, there’s no need to fear
It’ll all come clear
In “do” time
We’ll find reason to the rhyme

It’s only a matter of time
’till we find reason to this rhyme
… in due time

Be a seeker
Be the timekeeper
Make the know now

No need to throw a tizzy
Or act like you’re too busy
Bring us near
Hold us dear
In “do” time
We’ll find reason to the rhyme

Sheer

Posted on September 11, 2015September 11, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
The perception of a precipice
Is you’re on top of a sheer drop
Will you go splat… or will you go plop?
This getting steep is getting deep
Especially if the height gives you a fright
I’m afraid I must harp on the scarp
Less we become lemmings
Or, I don’t know… buffalo
On the edge of going over the ledge
Throwing ourselves off the cliff
No common sense… not even a whiff
To fear a sheer drop
Will you go splat… or will you go plop?
Will you puddle or will you turn stiff
Going over a cliff….

LYRICS
On a perfect purple velvet moonlit night
Perfect night for insight

In the light
The light shines on
On insight
I can see
What I can be
I can see
What can be
I can see me be

On a perfect purple velvet moonlit night
Moonlit velvet
Moonlit night
Shining down insight
There’s a glow
In the glow there’s a flow
The know

Fingernails On Thin Ice

Posted on September 4, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Trying to grab by my fingernails
’cause right now what ails is what fails
The thin ice
Crackin’ me up

Fingernails down a blackboard
Sending shivers… shivers up and down my spine
yeeeeeah
Not sure if it’s fine
Sending shivers up and down my spine
The claw
Of it all
The claw of it all
As the fingertips go down
The chalkboard
Blackboard
The slate
At any rate
It sends shivers, chills
It spills chills
Up and down the spine
My spine
Ahhhhhhh
It’s intertwined
With pain
You’d have to be insane
Caught up in your own vain
Injecting vain into your vein
’till you feel no pain

The down side is you’re the pain
Driving us insane
The thin ice
It’s the fingers and the slate
Could drive a man irate
By the fingernails
What ails is what fails

The thin ice

The System

The System.mp3

LYRICS
You know we’re all suckin’ off the system
I know I am
Very clear what’s going on here
It started with my Mom’s teat
… but, we all gotta eat

Ya, we’re all sucking off the same hose
Everyone knows

It’s more about your need
More about the greed
Starting with your Mom’s teat
We’ve all got to eat

No surprise when you realize right before your eyes
We’re all suckin’ off the system
I know I am
But, I know I’ll do what can
How about you

We strive to stay alive
Survival of the fittest
Who is best?
My, oh, my
What will be my best fit
Even if I don’t like it a bit

Every day when I wake
See how much I can take
Gotta see what I can be
Gotta see what’s inside of me

I know, I know, I know
We’re all suckin’ off the same hose
I know, I know
How the water will flow
We’re all suckin’ of the system
I am…
I know I am
Gonna do what I can do
Hope you will, too
See what we can be
I know
About the flow
I know I am
Suckin’ off the system

Suckin’ off the system
I know I am
Started with my mother’s teat
We all gotta eat

In Common

In Common.mp3

LYRICS
Right before my eyes I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why

None to be found
None around

Right before my I’s, I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why

If all I do is “I, I, I, me, me, me”
It’s easy to see
No surprise
My demise

Right before my eyes I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why

How can you have more space
If space is nothing
How can you have more nothing
And find a trace?

(trip)

Right before my I’s, I start to realize
Common sense is hard to come by
And, I don’t know why

It seems that this I
The I I eye
Coming to think… it’s inevitable
That I’ll be unable…
I mean, we’re all gonna die
I don’t care why

(skip and a jump / time slide faster)

Common sense is hard to come by
But you’d better try
Not just some sort-of pie-in-sky
Get a grasp
At last

Figure Out Out

Posted on September 1, 2015September 1, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
If you keep trying to find your place in this space
Even just trying to keep place at your pace
By looking in, by digging in, inside
How are you ever gonna figure it out
Figure out out
Figure out out

If you’re lost in your own space
Trying to figure out what face
To wear
Beware
If you keep digging in
Looking in
To your inside
You’re gonna miss the ride
How ya gonna figure out out
Figure out out?

If it’s all about you
Unlikely life will ring true
But, you’ll get through
Doing all you can do
To figure out out
To figure out out
You’ve got to come out
Look out!
To figure out out

Where to begin?
Get over within
Figure out out
Get over within
Get to figgerin’ out out

Trying to get on and along
Getting over in
Figuring out out
Trying to figure out out
Gonna figure out out
Leaving no doubt

Getting it on within figuring out out

Meteor Shower

LYRICS
Taking showers with the meteors
More than mediocre
We fly high
Lighting up the sky

Fleeing all
Falling in a waterfall
Getting to know the flow
In total
With the waterfall

Take flight through the night into the bright…
Dawn
Moving on

Take a shower with the meteors
More than mediocre
You can fly high
In the night sky

The Final Frontier

Posted on August 30, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Do you fear we’ve exhausted the final frontier
Do you fear… the final frontier
And, do you know where will go
From here

Where do we go from here
Have we exhausted the final frontier
We’ve exhausted
Wasted
Away
Approaching the final day
Do you know where we’ll go from here

Where do we go from here
I fear…
We’ve exhausted the final frontier
Now there can no longer be peer-to-peer
’cause you can’t even find a peer

I fear the final frontier was here
And it’s gone
What went wrong
What do we do at the end of the line
At the End Of Times
Do you know where to go from here?

This Bliss

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
