LYRICS
No more coming back from war
With a battle scar
Battle scarred
Rattled n’ marred
No more raping and pillaging
Going back for more
Coming back from afar
Forget who you are?
Trying to find our way
To a pure and peaceful day

’tis the season
To find a reason
Find our way clear
To spread some cheer
’tis the season
To find a reason
Keep searching till
We spread goodwill

LYRICS
Can anyone tell me
What this is?
Entertainment
… some sort-of show biz?
Can anybody tell me
Is this the show?
Can somebody tell me
I want to know
Somehow
I thought there’d be more
Than Sodom and Gomorrah
Alt-right and spite
Blood and gore
If I might…
If it’s alright
… I thought I might
Write
… a better ending:
Love and the message sending
If complete, something sweet
You join in, too?
The End

LYRICS
Delightning
Enlightening
Put my eye to the keyhole
Put my ear to the rail
Want to see the part and whole
On the head, hit the nail
Never fail to see the light
Seal the deal and wrap it tight

Hold my finger to the wind
From which direction has it been?
Will it pass n’ keep on going
Will I grasp a sense of knowing?
Never fail to see the light
Seal the deal and wrap it tight
Delightning
Enlightening

LYRICS
What do I feel?
Can it be real?
Can not be sensed
Yet… existence
Taking relief

Heavenly seal
It is for real
A feeling of love
Descends from above
Now to begin
Transcending within

Please don’t let it be a tragedy
You crying over me
Needn’t be the destiny

Kindly
In the spirit
Hear it
Here

LYRICS
Did I create the landscape
From which I can’t escape
Now to feed
On tumbleweed
And for dessert desert
(… and then desert
For dessert)

Is the solution to the pollution
At the source?
… ahhh of course
Coarse
Rubbing me the wrong way
Hey!
Coarse
Gotta live abrasive
Now I lust
For a mouth free of dust

LYRICS
Might be a waste
If you’re going to space
In search of monsters and aliens
They might already be

Space monster you got!
Go get? You wont want
What you’ve already got

LYRICS
Come on!
More On!
More on, less off
Let the first to scoff
Cast the first rock
Throw the first “cast in stone”
Stand alone
Did you check… is it plugged in?
Might want to check again
Has the power light been lit
… for a bit?
What have you got
Is the outlet hot
Come on!
More On!
Do you know fortissimo
… pianissimo?
I don’t know
Disregard…
Fade and retard. (Ritardando)

LYRICS
What’s your best pick
From your bag of tricks?
Seems over packed
Pulling at the seams
How about some vanishing creams
I’d love to disappear from here

What’s your best pick
From your bag of tricks?
Tired of “what the heck”s
And the bouncing checks
How about some x-ray specks
I’d love to see clear from here

What’s your best pick
From your bag of tricks?
Making the motion
For the solution
I’ve the notion it’s a love potion
I’d love to love near to here

LYRICS
No not again
Already been
Oh, can’t you see
It’s not for me
Or don’t I know
How to say no
Caress some finesse
I think it’s best
… put it to rest

More brevity
Entirety
Got what it takes
No same mistakes
For after all
Pieces will fall
Caress some finesse
I think I’m best
… put it to rest

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A little too cold
A little too hot
Not exactly sure
As to why not
We can get this right
Right is in sight
Out of the shadows
Saved from the gallows
We are free

A little too soft
A little too hard
Not exactly sure
Why our touch’s marred
We can get this right
Right is in sight
Out of the shadows
Saved from the gallows
We are free

A little too short
A little too long
Not exactly sure
How we got it wrong
We can get this right
Right is in sight
Out of the shadows
Saved from the gallows
We are free

A little too new
A little too old
Not exactly sure
If the story’s been told?
We can get this right
Right is in sight
Out of the shadows
Saved from the gallows
We are free

LYRICS
If you’re showing up late
I’ll just lay it out straight
If you can’t wait
To obliterate
The weight
For certain
The burden
Shed the dead
Alleviate the wait
Whether
Light as a feather
Or even better
In-time
For the finish line
The finish disk
Come and get it!
It’s a “never regret it” it

Goblins, ghouls and boogie men
Comin’ round more often
Baggaged closet skeleton
Need to leave behind what has been
No you’ll never (no you’ll never)
Never ever (never ever)
Have to watch your back again

You are the 12, 24
Before, now and evermore
But if you’re ever in a fix
Rest assured I’ll be your six
No you’ll never (no you’ll never)
Never ever (never ever)
Have to watch your back again

From ever ’til eternity
You can always count on me
Tick-tack-toe and pick-up-sticks
Rest assured I’ll be your six
No you’ll never (no you’ll never)
Never ever (never ever)
Have to watch your back again

To what shall be from what has been

LYRICS
Are you feeling very merry
Dear,
Please spread the cheer
At years end
People tend
To share the love above
Call it what you will
But right up until
Christmas Day
Hey!
People’s Day

Maybe snow?
I don’t know
Oh, I sure hope so
Maybe the chill
In the air will
Let your heart be still
Call it what you will
But right up until
Christmas Day
Hey!
People’s Day

Aspire
Are your pants on fire?
Desire
Are your rants all dire?
Damn the straight straits
Won’t let ’em irritate
Go get ’em!
Won’t imitate
Out of the gate
Nooo… just can’t wait
Shed the weight
Aspire
On fire
Desire
May my rants inspire
Take us higher
