LYRICS
Just like that
You’ll get the knack
Try and get
The rock and roll back
The toe tap
Finger snap
I concede what we need
Guitar that makes fingers bleed
Just like that
Blues kickback
Matter of fact
Nothin’ you lack

LYRICS
Do you see the beauty in the entirety?
Do you see the entirety in the beauty?
Except for there where Killroy’s here
I’ve become aware of what I hear
I see the beauty [Do you? Do you….]
It’s found all around
In the sound
All around
Do you feel the beauty in the entirety?
Do you feel the entirety in the beauty?
Except for where man’s left his mark
The light overtakes the dark
I see the beauty [Do you? Do you….]
It’s found all around
In the sound
All around
Do you see the beauty in the entirety?
Do you see the entirety in the beauty?
Except for the scars of mankind
I kind-of love the beauty in all I find
I see the beauty [Do you? Do you….]
It’s found all around
In the sound
All around

LYRICS
In the twilight of the light
Comes the night
Our closest star, the Sun
Becomes done (undone, done, undone)
The light before us
Too bright to be a star
Nor, that far
Is Venus
The planet of love
Shinning in from above
In the twilight of the light
Comes the night
Our closest star, the Sun
Becomes done (undone, done, undone)
The light before us
Too bright to be a star
Nor, that far
… Mercury
We see Mercury
The God of speed
Witnessing our deed
In the twilight of the light
Went the night
In the Twilight of the Light.mp3
In the Twilight of the Light Postlude.mp3

LYRICS
Have you heard of “no brainer”
This no brainer is a strainer
Scratchin’ my head
Over what he said
Living in delusion
Lively up yourself, don’t be no dread now
Beating on a horse already dead now
Seems to be a lack of marrow
’cause the cavity is too narrow
Solid bone from ear-to-ear
Lack of gray matter I do fear

LYRICS
Gonna give it a whirl
In good ‘ole East Earl
[chorus]
What’s “birthday” mean to you
Going to Shady Maple, too
For an all you can eat
Birthday treat
My, oh, my
Pie in the sky
You can have your cake
And, eat it, too
Sampling apple dumpling
Can the belly take
More than two
Are you telling me
All you an eat for free?
[chorus]
Travelin’ miles
For service n’ smiles
Another run around the sun
When it’s all said and done
Can’t wait ’til next year
When my birthday draws near
Heading back to East Earl
For another whirl
[chorus]
Please come again!

LYRICS
Grab your hoe
Come on let’s go
What we reap is what we sow
Probably should water good
Adding to the neighborhood
[chorus]
Generation germination
Pant my seed
Grows like a weed
Hey, maybe our baby
Falls close to the tree..
Guess we’ll see
Probably
Sprout nine months out
Isn’t that what life’s about
[chorus]
Sometime soon… around noon
Shady Maple’s fork and spoon
Pops, son n’ me… family three
Generations dinning happily

LYRICS
God, though you may find it odd
I hope I’m not asking for too much
I pray I’m not asking for too much
With all their suffering and such
But could you please
Turn up the breeze…
Just a little more
Believe it or not, that’s what I’m asking for
Please turn up the breeze
Yest, that’s it
Please turn up the breeze just a little bit
Forgive me for the tantrum
Forgive me for the fit
God damn it!
Turn up the breeze just a little bit

4×4 with 6-on-the-floor
Equals freedom to pick-up when you want to
Meant for America to move

Bring us your sick, tired, bored
We can handle any size horde
Meant for America to move

Easy to be free keyless entry
The stick shift gives ya a lift
Meant for America to move

Where the grooving get moving
Meant for America to move

In plain sight
In broad daylight
In the line of fire
Eye-to-eye desire
Just between me and you
There is nothing we can’t do
First we envision the vision
Next we follow through
Dream the scene
Make it true
Seen in dream
Time is due

One small step
A giant leap
Depth and breadth
Soul to keep

Far beyond
Earth turns round
Past your bond
Heaven’s view
Changes you

Seeps in deep
To applaud
Nod of God
Lightning rod
Shocked and awed
Back to flawed

LYRICS
On the cusp of learning
At the break of day
Hope to grasp the meaning
Before it goes away
On the edge of knowledge
Coming on high-noon
Hope to gain advantage
To realize it soon
On the cusp of learning
Please don’t slip away
Hope at last the meaning
Before the end of day
On the verge of knowledge
Let me see the light
To the depths of mind, dredge
See the light before night
Can I see the light?
Can I can I can!

LYRICS
My father would say to me
Come on, Son
Try n’ get your facts straight
Bright one
My Mother would say to me
Come on, Son
Try n’ get your facts straight
Bright one
Is it too late?
At any rate…
How exactly is it done?
I don’t care if the battle’s won
If a loss is the war
I don’t want any more
No, no more!
My grand father would say to me (etc.)

LYRICS
If you’re searching for your heart
Then why not start?
Stop looking around
It’s been found
Not trying to hide on the outside
Look within
Where it’s always been
Look within
If you’re trying to find your heart
Then why not start
Where it’s always been
Look again!
Look again?
Not broken beyond repair
Look in there
Did you try looking in there?
Look in there!
