LYRICS
At the “break” of day
Had to put it back together
When the sunset set
It was “hard” to get over
SO, I took out my guitar to play
And, say what I had to say:
“Never forget
Live with no regret
As the days pass by
Always wonder why?”

May another day
Come our way
And as light
Turns to night
Let us play away

LYRICS
Whack!
Tripping on a crack
Over the international dateline
Tripping on time
Fulfilling desire
Down to the wire
Whack!
Just like that
Tripping on a bump
In my lifeline
Tripping on time
Fulfilling desire
Down to the wire
They say
My days are numbered
So long
As they’re not numb-ered
Tripping up time
While I’m mine
Fulfilling desire

LYRICS
Put a footprint
Imprint
Did ya?
Left your thumbprint
Innocent
Are ya?
When given birth
By Mother Earth
You took a bite
Is that right?
Bit the hand that fed ya
Bit the hand that bred ya
Took a bit
Out of Mother Earth
Till death
From birth
Took your bite out of Mother Earth

Another bit
Is that right?
Out of Momma
Did ya?

LYRICS
So, this is it?
This is the ticket?
And, I paid all my good money for it?
Regret the debt you bet
Regret the debt you bet?
You may have meant no harm
When you bet the farm
Now, harm done
Remains numb
Cost of fun
Having none?

LYRICS
Feeling that it’s out of you hands?
Let’s turn it around
Turn it around
Feeling that nobody understands?
Let’s give ’em a hand
Show ’em around
The least we can do
… introduce them to you
Pass the connection through

You and I
Slices of the π
Puzzle peaces
Species under sky
Interconnected
Effected habitat (imagine that)
Clearly clinging to gravity
Can you see?

Can you capture
The big picture
Conjecture the texture
Of our structure
Can you picture?

LYRICS
You’re good as gold
Or so I’m told
When your life’s goal
Is growin’ old

When going down the road
If you lighten your load
The toll of the total
Is less brutal
As a matter of fact
You can’t get it back
And, there’s really nothing that you lack

When you reach your golden years
Are you past your friggin’ fears
Are you able to forget
Skeletons in your closet
Are there no more tears
Not a regret
Is your last chapter…
Happily ever-after

LYRICS
Overheard
Blue Jay, Blackbird
When Red Tail sets sail
You know
The crow squawk
At the sight of a hawk
You know
A murder of crow
Raptor rapture
It’s the real deal
When the Blue Jay squeal
Children — the meal
Next on the menu
Could be you

Though it may sound absurd
I overheard
The word of the bird
The fight of flight
The scrambling of eggs
Tender chicken legs
Birds of a feather
Flock together

LYRICS
Started off as a normal score
1, 2, 3
As I waited patiently…
4’s no more?

The guy on the drum
Wants to know “how come?”
Throwing the bass off base
Rhythm guitar hasn’t gotten that far
For those who dance, why take a chance?
Really?

Is it a waltz for polka dolts
At some traditional ball
Um, a… samba, foxtrot… I think not
Missed a beat. Admit defeat.
Really

LYRICS
And, does it make you feel good
When you wake-up in the morning
Does it leave your heart yearning
Of could of what you should?

Suddenly get cold feet
When face-to-face with death
Is your life defeat
Has it depth or breadth?

And, does it make you feel good
Can you get to sleep in the evening
Does it leave your brain burning
Of should of what you could

Shuddering disbelief
Swallowing grief
Once we’re born
Will we ever learn

LYRICS
Earth’s our ride
Please conceive
Turn the tide
Help relieve

Is your heart on your inside
Or do you wear it on your sleeve
Your love… do you try to hide
Or live what you believe

Time you bide
Can’t retrieve
We reside
Then, we leave
(Chorus)

Poke and chide
Can’t we leave?
Un-divide
Our pet peeve
(chorus)

You know
Be your own hero
Example of “go”

LYRICS
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

In the morning, come clean from being so mean
In the evening, calm down
Find where the love is found
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Can you explain why you’re causing so much pain
How can you find joy in snatching a baby’s toy?
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Miss “The Grinch That Stole Christmas”?
Don’t you wanna know how large your heart can grow
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Does any brain remain
Certainly none sane
Be sure to save a piece
For understanding love and peace
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)
