bookmark_borderHeart Bomb

LYRICS
My heart is going to explode
Now, your heart’s my abode
The way you display your posture
I’m sure of a pure future
Through your eyes
I realize
Adapt our hope
Yes, know no nope
I can see within you
There’s a lot we can do
When I listen to what there is to say
I can see the way to the day
Raise our spirits!
Can you hear it?
Raise our spirits!

bookmark_borderCome On Back

LYRICS
Crack that whip
And make them go
If you can back it up
With what you know
[sound effects of garbage truck backing up]
The whip is just for show
Dogs and ponies in a a row
Snap the fingers
No one lingers
We’ve got a show to put on
Are you real or just a con
I love a performance from the heart
But, the conceit of deceit
I’ll have no part
Meeting the devil at the crossroads
All the souls exposed
Signed and sealed with your blood
Dust to dust back to mud

LYRICS
What color’s the sky
I mean which color of blue
In the spectrum of blue
The specific hue
The depth and breadth
Of sky blue

Red sky in morning
Sailors take warning
Red sky at night
Sailors delight

What color’s the sky
I mean which color of blue
In the spectrum of blue
The specific hue
The depth and breadth
Of sky blue
As a matter of fact
At night it’s all black
Except for pin pricks of light
Full moon brightens the nigh
Stars and mars
See mercury
Venus
Over us

LYRICS
The summertime is flying by
Can’t reason when. Can’t reason why
Seems like we all did just begin
Sure hope to live to see it again

I don’t know what I’m suppose to say
Still thought it was the month of May
Seems like we all did just begin
Sure hope to live to see it again

I just woke up to see the time
Now, hear me cray and hear me whine
Seems like we all did just begin
Sure hope to live to see it again

The summertime has wound on down
Sure hope to see you next time ’round
Seems like we all did just begin
Sure hope to live to see it again

LYRICS
Yeah, the top dog hopped upon his spot
No, his name’s not spot
It’s not
It’s knot
Top dog
He’s the top dog
Jumped upon my bed
On top
Decides to lay his head
… on… my bed
On top
Now, he’s the top dog
I’m the man cog
He’s the top dog
Knot tied tight
Knot tied right
Not naughty
Not knot
Good dog?
Great dog.
Top dog
He’s a great dog

Find your own bit of water
And mosey down
What in life really matters
When you get down….
Down by the water
In we go
Do we know what matters
Now, we know
Dip in

Tip to tip
Dip
When you get down….
Down by the water

Dreaming of Being Down by the Water

bookmark_borderTo High

My head can not stop thinking of you
My bed… all wet from crying for you
Things may never be the same
But, that’s alright
I’m up for the game
On your mark. Get set. Go!
To high from low
Elevate
Levitate
Alleviate
Don’t hesitate
No… don’t hesitate

My head can not stop thinking of you
My bed… all wet from crying for you
Things may never be the same
But, that’s alright
I’m up for the game
On your mark. Get set. Go!
To high from low
Go into the hyper-surface flow
Feel the love circling above?
Let’s go into the hyper-surface flow
Feel the love
Circle above?
Feel the love
Circle above!

LYRICS
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?
We’re not going back to before
The move to the future in a blur
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?

Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?
The “normal” was a blur
Certainly, on that you concur
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?

Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?
Have you ever noticed the other door
Unless it’s opened are you sure?
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?

LYRICS
I took a trip
Without a buggy whip
Money stash
Without coins… no cash
The times are changing
Priorities re-arranging

The data scene
Has no fax machine
Left all alone
With a rotary phone
The times are changing
Priorities re-arranging

Took a horseless carriage
Into the modern age
Learned real fast
The obsolescence of gas
The times are changing
Priorities re-arranging

LYRICS
My heart is bleeding
Like a bloody sap
Syrup flowing
To the floor
Adapt to endure
Know more

My mind is melding
The legend of the map

Know more

My life is seeping
Like a flowing tap
The hops brewing
That’s for sure
Adapt will endure
Know more

You don’t already know
A love spell or something
