LYRICS
The times are changing… changing fast
Won’t be long ’till the future’s past
Yeah, time is changing… sure hope it’ll last
But you can’t hang on….
Better off letting go
Better off… just let it flow

The times are changing… to the future we go
Won’t be long ’till the future we know
Yeah, time moves faster until I slow
Use to be my lifetime was a whole year
Now a year’s a fraction of my time here

A Day in the Park

Posted on October 7, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Come out of the dark
Meet me in the park
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day
And, when the sun does set
We won’t be done yet
Gaining insight into the night

Let’s shift out of park
Into drive… embark
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day

Chorus

Come out on a lark
Imagination spark
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day

How to Play the Blues

Posted on October 7, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You didn’t earn the blues

Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You don’t deserve the blues

All the time you try
Wasted moments ’till we die
Personal pie-in-the-sky
Question your existence — why?

Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You didn’t earn the blues

Without selfishness
Devoid of ignorance
Never pretentious
No arrogance

Chorus

LYRICS
Glad you made it to my gig
So happy to see you jig
No. Don’t choose sorrow
Not today… not tomorrow

The smile on your face
The gleam in your eye
Bring joy to the place
Don’t need to try

Kathleen, what you bring to the scene
Kathleen, do you know what I mean

Invite me in to have some fun
Show compassion… and then some

One Is One

Posted on October 4, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
What you think you see ….
Is that reality?
Basically
Your reality is killing me

Oh please save me
From your reality
Your reality
Is killing me

One is one
You can’t make it undone
Two is two, too
The definition is not up to you

After all….
Who is the biggest killer of us all
It’d be us by far
No need to fear
Of them reaching near
It would be us by far

Between The Lines

Posted on October 4, 2015October 4, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Reading minds
Reading between the lines
Which kind want to be kind?
Read between the lines
One finds
Reading between the lines
They’re reading minds

Man’s maneuvers
Purveyors of slayers

Come on groovers
Come on players
Help maneuver the movers
And, say “hey!” to the slayers
Hey! Don’t slay
In essence, this isn’t rocket science
Reading minds
Reading between the lines

Tangled In Not’s

Posted on October 4, 2015October 4, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
As the NOT’s in the climate tangle
Need to wrangle a new angle
As the NOT’s in the climate knot
The knot of the winds increase
Sustained winds that wouldn’t cease
Then, the rain came down all around
Until the ground was awash in a flood
Up to my eyeballs in gook, muck and mud

The have’s and the have not’s
All have knots
All have knot
All in knots
Over having “not”

All the world is a stage in The Damage Age

Force 12
Hurricane’s off the shelve
Starting out at 64 knot
Yet not
Done
Sure ain’t no whatnot
Better run
Yell, fella, “To the storm cellar!”

Tangled In Not’s.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
C C# Cm C#m

A song about wind speeds (in knots) and human induced climate change.

“A universal scale of wind speed values — since the scale was originally nautical in nature, and that most wind reports at that time were in nautical miles per hour (or converted to them), these numerical values were given in knots. It was a progressive scale with the range of speed for Forces increasing as you go higher. Thus Force 1 is only 3 knots in range (1 kt – 3 kt), while the Force 11 is eight knots (56 kt – 63 kt) in range. So Force 12 [Hurricane] starts out at 64 knots (74 mph, 33 m/s).”

Hidden Hide

Posted on October 3, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
I had to hide my hide
Taking a ride
Hadda hide my hide
Taking a ride
On the flipside

The thing with the skin
Is wearing thin
The thing with the skin
Was wearing thin
Had to hide my hide
Now I’m taking a ride
On the flipside

The thing with the skin
Was wearing thin
So I said
It’s time to shed
I had to hide my hide
Now, I’m taking a ride
On the flipside

Out of the Cage Outrage.mp3

LYRICS
There should be outrage!
Who let you out of your cage?
Out of the cage outrage
You’ve set the stage
For the age of rage
There will be outrage
When they find you’re out of your cage
There should be outrage!
Who let you out of your cage?
After all the wars you wage
Why would someone let you out of your cage
Outrageous… outrage us
Out of the cage outrage
Outrageous outrage outrages us

The End Time’s in need of a sage
Please make contact… engage
Please help us gauge
The edge of the page
We don’t want our words running off the side
And the true meaning to hide on the flipside

PlanIt Earth

Posted on October 2, 2015October 2, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
We must have planned it
Yes, had to plan it
To devastate our planet
Can’t make a mistake when it comes to devastate
What’s at stake United States?
Are we trying to annihilate
Why show all the hate?

Fossil fools setting on fire
Fossil fuels
Watching our demise transpire
Where are the wise
Please take us higher
Where logic rules
This tit for tat
Ain’t where it’s at
