Know No Snow Music Video

LYRICS
Sitting on the bed
Looking out the window
Shaking of my head
Blocking out the shadow

When I was a child it use to snow
Since then, man went wild
Now, you never know

Standing with the keys
Pining out the window
Opportunity to seize
Singing to the snow
Where did you go?

We know
What we did to you, Snow
Please last
Please forgive us
For we know what we’ve done
First is last is first is last

Please forgive us,
Quasi-civilization Of The Dumb

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — A D A
A Em7 A

Written and recorded December 29, 2012 in Chester County, Pennsylvania as an extemporaneous, 1-track, stereo, digital recording. It started snowing today, and it made me long for days gone. So, I thought I’d write a song for part of our Human Induced Climate Change Experiment and an article entitled Northern Hemisphere Snow Cover is Retreating. (Also see: Record Warming)

LYRICS
There ain’t no life like the one you’ve got
You’re better off having one than not
There ain’t no life like the one you’ve got

There ain’t no life like the one you’ve got
No sense living life like a robot
Live the life that you’ve got

You might think you’ll be sailing your big yacht
… make it through the venture, not!
Coming to know the intricacies
Of the human life expectancy

There ain’t no life like the one you’ve got
You’re better off having one than not
There ain’t no life like the one you’ve got

When you wake up or if you do not
Maybe you will give a shout about
Life is more than just you

Why don’t you put yourself out there for others
How come, “Why not?”
’cause here ain’t no life like the one you’ve got

This just isn’t some enchanted evening
Or, is it?
Lzzy on stage singing her soul out
All the crowd
Singing out loud
Singing their souls out

The tale of the tail

This isn’t just some enchanted evening
Or, is it?

Vent about the event
Vent event

This isn’t some enchanted evening
Or, is it?
Is there some magic in the air?
Is the atmosphere… clear?

This isn’t just some enchanted evening
Or, is it?

We’re finally coming out of the dark
Headed to a brand new start

The sun is shining in
On the inside
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

The sun is shining in….

Now, a new life can begin
The sun is shining in
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

As the sun sets on society
We question
“Hey, didn’t we have plenty?”
Why the suffering
On the outside
There’s no place to run
There’s no placed to hide
On the outside

The sun is shining in
The smile is twice as wide
On the inside

Come on join in
Come on join in

The smile is twice as wide

The sun is shining in

Let the sun shine in

Yes, I know exactly what you said
It has penetrated my head
I get it

Ya, I get it

Do I appear to be thick as a brick?
I beg your pardon
That’s not me

Yes, I get it
And, no… I didn’t forget it
I got it
Long before you came into the picture
For sure
I’ve already gotten it
Now, you cause the present to be a blur
Let’s look into the future

A severe serene scene
One void of mean
Default — self-wealth

Like a bug screen filtered dream

Completely come clean
Spiritually stealth

Singular multitudes
Splendid attitudes
Singular multitudes
Singing songs on high

LYRICS

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To beat the egg

Which came first the chicken or the egg?

Let’s go to the otherside

Leaving the irrational behind

Let’s ride the train of thought

To the otherside

A place that’s logical we’ll find

From that compassion will result

On the rightside

Why did Jack and Jill go up the hill?

To chuck your muck

Let’s fetch a wail of laughter

And, live happily everafter

If you fell down and broke your crown

Let’s leave the irrational behind

Leaving the irrational behind

Let’s ride the train of thought

To the otherside

A place that’s logical we’ll find

From that compassion will result

On the otherside

LYRICS
“Meet the new boss… same as the old boss”
Don’t leave your fate to destiny
Influence the coin toss
Don’t live you life in misery
Go for the gain. Avoid the loss.
Not just for you
But, for those beyond your point-of-view

“Meet the new boss… same as the old boss”
Elevate your fate
And balance the scales
Calming the irate
Putting wind in your sails
Not just for you
But, for those beyond your point-of-view

Catch a buzz
Rise above
