LYRICS
When the beat
Makes you complete
(Com-beat)
You can do so much more
Get up! And, on the floor
It’s time to shake your core

When the beat
Makes you complete
(Com-beat)
We can do so much more
Get up! And, on the floor
It’s time to shake your core
Open the door
To so much more
And the rhythm
Brings her to him

bookmark_borderIt Ain’t Pretty

LYRICS
Well, when you put it like that
How can I dispute the fact
Oh, worm and wiggle I will
Until I still never will
Accept reality
’cause it ain’t pretty
And my self-pity
Distracts me
So, for now
It’s a pity party
No self-respect
No self-responsibility
Just a reject
In regret-ability

bookmark_borderAbove The Neck

LYRICS
Their eyes appears to be open
But, somehow I was hopin’
There’ld be a sign of life
Amidst all the strife
I mean what the heck
Is it dead above the neck
Who engineered this train wreck

Though their skin still feels warm
There’s still cause for alarm
For there’s no sign of life
Amidst all the strife
I mean what the heck
Is it dead above the neck
Who engineered this train wreck

No, there’s no longer a pulse
Time to call hearse
No, there’s no sign of life
They’re free of their strife
I mean what the heck
We’re all dead above the neck
Who engineered this train wreck

From shadows into the shine
As we’re listening

Out in the broad daylight
And soon… into the night
By the light of the moon

We’re having a helluva time
… a helluva time
(And would) love to hear you chime in

Building up some steam
Are you ready to hold steady

LYRICS
Look at me now!
Look, Ma! No hands
Look at me now!
Can you hold my beer
Is there method to the madness
For I confess to knowing less

Look at me now!
Look, Ma! No hands
No “understands”
No one understand
Look at me now!
Can you hold my beer
Nevertheless
Is there method to the madness
For I confess to knowing less
No less
Is the Great Hope in blind faith
Or the broad scope of bitter taste?

LYRICS
Running late
Are we running too late
At any rate
If we’re running late
Why do we wait?
If we’re running late
Why do we wait?
The gears of time are cranking
To gods of youth no thanking
No time to ask why
We’re letting time pass by
Enough smelling the roses
And pausing for poses
All the while one supposes
We under appreciate late
