Tetraphobia Magic Bullet

Posted on July 28, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Are you scared of what’s lurking under your bed
Are you frightened of what goes “thump” in the night
Does imagination run (wild) through your head
Giving you some mystical insight

Knowing how to tame anarchy
It’s under control
No, you’re not the same ‘ole monkey
It’s wonder mental

Never scared of what’s lurking in my head
Never frightened of the hammer of the might
No aggravation… frustration of how it’s said
Giving me some magical insight

How to Play Guitar to the Song Like Father Like Son.mp4

LYRICS
All the days under the sun
Like father, like son
All the ways our mission won
Like father, like son

A chip off the ‘ole block
Contribution to the genetic clock
A chip off the ‘ole block
Reign’s end drawing near… tick-tock

Chorus

Standing up for freedom
Bringing sum enlightenment to some
Fighting for the good fight
Giving proof through the night
Are you aware? Our flag’s still there

Chorus

Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle
Little Boy Blue and the Man In The Moon
Boy to man then to dust too soon
When you coming home Dad (Son)? “I don’t know when…
You know we’ll get together then.”

8 Ball In The Pocket

Posted on July 26, 2013March 21, 2014 by admin

Songwriting While Shooting Pool in Plymouth Meeting

LYRICS
Rack ’em. Break ’em.
Let the balls roll
Whack ’em. Crack ’em.
Let the deal dole

No longer behind the eight ball any more
Check out all the angles to explore
Eyes popping from their sockets
Watching balls rolling into pockets

Chorus

There is so little to do with luck
Whether you bet the farm or just a buck
It’s more a matter to see geometry
Whether a straight shooter is what you’ll be

Chorus

Strike with just the right English
Weave yourself into the fabric’s mesh
Some happen to call it The Zen
As it happens to you, you’ll know when

Chorus

The Die Is Cast

Posted on July 25, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
I bet you’ve got a story you thought I’ve never heard
I bet you’ve got a story considered beyond absurd

So, climb aboard and ride the bandwagon with me
So, climb aboard and swing from a star
It’s easy to be beyond bizarre

You say the picture of Earth is hanging crooked
You say the politicians are all f#&%ed
Well, today’s the day we rectify
Today’s the day the try is the dye
Break the mold and cast the I

Dancing Off The Roof

Posted on July 23, 2013March 21, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

Might as well transpire
Our feat is on fire
Might as well transpire
Our feet are on fire

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

The sweat is dripping from my brow
Now, it pours from every pore

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

The “Hard Sun” is pounding down
… some more and some more

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

It’s not as though we’re aloof
Or your reality is just a spoof

We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — E

The song is about putting a new roof on a house during a heat wave.

Off The Hook

Posted on July 22, 2013March 21, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Why would I sit… sit here and wait
Just to hesitate then gulp on your bait?

If you think being caught is what you’ve got
We’re here to tell you that it’s not
Off the hook. Close the book.
The End. A chance to live again

Something smells fishy. You know there’s something fishy
You know there’s something fishy going on (again)

Now that I’m free… I’ve been set free
I can tell you clearly what I can see
The hierarchy versus anarchy
Creates hypocrisy in the depths of our sea

Riding The Gravy Train

LYRICS
Chorus
Today it rained then it poured
Today it reigned then it poored
It poured and poored some more

Well, if you’re riding the gravy train
And, you start to realize the gravy’s lumpy
Ya might just drive yourself insane
If ya don’t fertilize for the hungry

Chorus

Well, if you’re living and living without givin’
And, you start to appreciate “this is heaven!”
You might add spirit to your brain
Who knows? Ya might get to live again

Forget Me Not Love

Posted on June 10, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
When the tunnel appears pitch black as night
When I can’t see the end… no glimmer of light
I should have remembered to pray for a rainy day
Though I pray I can say there’s never been passion neglect

I would regret if I forget
That I’m in love with you
That would be worse than anything on Earth
That would be worse than anything I could do
That would be to curse my re-birth

I’m giving my love to the heavens above
I’m giving my love to all living beings
I’m giving my love to the heavens above
I’m giving my love to Her image samplings

Sign With Satan

Posted on June 10, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Have you been down at the crossroads
Selling a princess for toads
Did you trade ginger for forever
Under the guise of clever?

Did you sign a deal with the devil Herself
Sacrificing self for worldly wealth
Did you sign a deal with the devil
Ough! That would be ill

Azrael

Posted on June 10, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Grim is the creeper
Creeping ever closer
No reaper sleeper
Guts are getting grosser

Someday you’re going to die
No sense to wonder why
Better to ponder “Why I”

Chorus

Someday you’re going to die
No sense to cry

Chorus

Someday you’re going to die
No sense to sigh

Chorus

Some things I can control
If you want to control your destiny
Listen to me

I will die
Only to be born again
That’s the good news
It only gets better
The escalator to heaven
Any way, you’re right here right now

Someday you’re going to die
You, everyone else and I

Thank You, Sir

Posted on April 30, 2013April 30, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
“Thank you, Sir!”
I really want to thank you, Sir

When you were sitting there sipping your coffee
I didn’t know if you were even aware of me
Then, when it was time for you to go
Wouldn’t you know…
You got up and said, “Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

“Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

When you were driving down the street in your Jeep
You gave a shout out that I want to keep
Thumbs up, “Keep it up!”
“Thank you, Sir”
I really want to thank you, Sir

Thank You Sir.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was inspired by a writing session in Ambler, PA. While I was playing the guitar, there was a female sitting across the street at Maida coffee. She turned into the first verse. Then as I was writing the first verse, another female came driving by… she is the second verse. Thanks girls!

Bathing In The Light

Posted on April 10, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Where do you find beauty?
Is it in your comfort?
If you seek you must confront,
The demons in your body

Chorus
What the heck…
I see it in the crape of your neck
Down the small of your back
… and back
Are you sensitive behind your knee
… let’s see
Can I find your soul
In your sole?

Bathing in the light
Basking at the sight
How do I find beauty
Let me count the ways
With this view that I see
We could be here for days

Chorus
