For that matter, what are you talking about?

If you’re going to talk non-sense
I’m going to reflect back
A message heaven sent

Are you deaf when it comes to social injustice
Do you turn a blind eye
Are you mute
Justice is blind
But, are you blind, too
Blind to justice?

Say, “what”

LYRICS
May the light of grace touch upon us
May the grace of your touch light us up

Chorus
After The End
We’ll Begin
When those that deserve win

Will the might of your grace scare the fright out of us
When we’re aware… might your touch light us up?

Chorus

Life’s all fair when death’s upon us
You either sink low below…
Or, rise up, up, up

After The End
The losers win

LYRICS
Over hill… over dale

You’ll never ever fail
Over hill. Over dale.
You’ll never ever fail
As long as you’re on the trail

Toward the least
Not the beast

In the long run (fun)
In the end (the message you send)
Over hill… over dale
Set sail
For your dream
And, it will seem

Over hill
Over dale
Over hill
Overdrive

You’re alive
If you strive
You can make what seems
Your dreams
A reality of your mortality
Make it the stage
Make it the moving picture production show
Make it strive and thrive while you’re alive

Over hill… over rough terrain…
What of you will remain?

LYRICS
The more we grow together
The more we need to stand alone
Maintain our identity
Refrain
Remain a strain

The more we grow together
The more we need to concede
A separate seed
For heredity we need identity
From a real gene pool
If we want the continuum
Together
Alone

Tomorrow the future will be
You’ll see
Together we grow alone

This carpet of grass
Time will pass
Our roots intertwine
And, we come to find
That we’re individual blades of grass
And, together we can harness

LYRICS
How close are you?

It feels as though you’re in my skin
Washing away every sin
How close are you?

How close
How close
How close are you?

It feels as though you’re with me in everything I do
I really want to know, “How close are you?”

How close are you?

Is there anything you can do?

When I am alive
I think we jive
Our flesh is mesh
As we mesh flesh

LYRICS
I’ve seen some strange things around here
Under the atmosphere
When you’re down to earth
It’s quite odd
How humanity wants to rob humanity
Rob, rob, rob

… some strange things around here
Under here
Under the atmosphere
When you get down to Earth
And, a human birth
You might call it insanity
The way humanity
Just loves to bask in vanity
Yeah, I’ve seen some strange things around here
Under the atmosphere

Didn’t you, too?
Part of the human zoo
Or, are you a zookeeper
Of the moral Lepers?

I’ve seen some strange things around here
Under the atmosphere
When you’re down to earth

LYRICS
And, the water rushes in
Will it wash away your sin?
Over your toes towards your nose
I hope you can swim
And, the water rushes in

Of course,
You’re not going to change its course
The water ruses in
I can see it’s past your knee
You should have taken that opportunity to flee
The water rushes in
I hope you can swim
I hope you can pray
At least one more day
I pray, “I’ll obey!”

LYRICS
Everybody out of the pool!
Look out
Here comes the flood
Unless you don’t want your blood
As long as you want your blood to flow
I hope you know…
Know how to swim

The situation
Your going against the current
By the way
You’re not making any headway
When you’re swimming up stream
No matter what you deem
When you’re swimming up stream
No matter what you deem
So, I hope you know how to swim
If you forgot, I hope you remember again
Got to swim
Here comes the flood
Got to swim
Here comes the flood

If you know how to swim
There’s a chance to win

What are you talking about?

What are you talking about?
I can see your lips move
But, I can’t understand
What you demand

Who made you king of the world

What are you talking about?

Have you gone mad
Trying to make people sad

It’s been way too long that you’ve been wrong
I didn’t mean to be the one to point it out
But, there’s only so much you can dish out
What are you talking about?

LYRICS
It rained all night the day I left
The it was dry
And, we all go marching
Down into the ground
To get out of the rain

When January feels like June
Wake up! Wake up! And, none too soon
And we all go searching
Everywhere all around
To get our of the rain

Oh! Susanna
Won’t you cry for me
Oh! Susanna
All can surely see
Oh! Susanna
It’s a tragedy

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Capo 1
C Am
G Am

Written and recorded on January 12, 2013 in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania as a digital, 4-track stereo, extemporaneous recording. After posting this status on Facebook, the song was written and recorded on the streets: “Hmmm… 60 degrees in January… perfect day to take music to the streets… maybe write a global warming song?”

It started while I was sleeping… I heard a news report about severe weather being the new normal. Then, I started hearing a mix of the Stephen Foster song Oh! Susanna and the children’s version of Johnny Comes Marching Home known as The Ants Go Marching (and a dash if You Are My Sunshine)… kind-of tossing traditional irony with a modern day twist.

LYRICS
From here to there
And, anywhere in between
A gypsy of body… a lover of being

Spirit comes apart
Soul comes together
There’s a certain science or art
To being a gypsy body
And, a lover of being

From here to there
And, anywhere in between

Thank you your Grace
For allowing me to embrace
This form
This warm form

From here to there
And, everywhere in between

Getting together on a weekday night
Going to make some music
It’ll be alright

Joining in a rock-and-roll band

Getting together in a basement
Making music that just won’t quit

Getting together spirits groove
Going to make ’em move
Maybe outta hand

LYRICS
Do you thirst to see blood?
Do you like to see people dragged through the mud?
Lordess Of Darkness
I suppose you’re your own curse

You weren’t quite fortunate enough
To be fetched by a hearse
You’re just a living zombie
A shell of a body
Foul
You’ve got no soul
You’re the Lordess Of Darkness
I suppose you’re your own curse

Lordess Of Darkness

With all your previous lives
You’d think you’d realize
Lordess Of Darkness
I suppose you’re your own curse

LYRICS
Hummina hummina hummina
If someone comes up to you on the street
And, tries to give you some discrete… or less than discrete
Tries to give a piece concrete
Evidence
Which is summed up with the hummina hummina hummina
My suggestion
Run
Or, if you want to have some fun
Go ahead and engage
Ask about rosemary and sage

If you are going to rise and ride the tide
You don’t want to feel like you’re being swept away
You want to feel like you have some kind-of control over the day
No hummina hummina hummina along the way
Trying not to say hummina hummina hummina

If you are more interested in knowing the great unknown
Please let your presence be known
