LYRICS
Did you discover…
Your complaint of having to wait
Is over
Yes, wait less
Now you are wait-less
Your weightless
You’re weightless

Same ole fate
Meet-your-maker date
They say…
It could be any day

Angels are your wings
And other amazing things
Unfurled
Wonders beyond the world

I think you’re seeing heaven
Heaven, again
You know…
From whence one will come, one will go
Heaven, again

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Outback in the hills of Chester County
There’s a sight you’ve got to hear to see
Just bring a fiddle to solve the riddle
Do tell! A jig to keep you well
So hey diddle diddle
Give that cat a fiddle
We’re starting ‘fore noon
So hey diddle diddle
Give that cat a fiddle
Play ’til we’re under the moon

Groove in the grove in Chester County
It’s alright… the sound you’ll see
Strum a guitar, sing-a-long or hum
Yell! Swing to a melody so swell
Chorus

Far-out in the hills of Chester County
Picking tunes… a plentiful bounty
You know… tap a toe… let it go
Do tell! A jig to keep you well

LYRICS
In the silent running
Of the water flowing
All together knowing
Where we’re going

Going down to the river
Down to the sea
Going down to deliver
Down to “the see”

In the silent running
In the midst of floating
All together knowing
Where we’re going
Chorus

In the silent running
All over the waterfall
Already knowing
Where we’re going
Chorus

LYRICS
Tryin’ to find humanity in insanity
How to be kind became a rarity
Why debate if it’s too late
The more the haste, the less the waste
Regurgitate your hesitate
The less the wait, the less the late
Does “The End” depend on if you participate
Or opt-in default’s what I should anticipate?

LYRICS
Physics debate: negate hate?
Collapse of synapse
A blackhole stole your soul

The bargains in your basement
Are the toys in your attic
Again and again with disparagement
Enough to cut you to the quick

Chip off the old blockhead
Rest my case… put to bed
If you ask me
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree

Really no treat in the heat
Still tryin’ to learn concern
A homicide of the whole inside
Sacrificed soul to the blackhole

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Going old school
For whom does the bell toll?
Meanwhile a child will smile
Everything will yearn to turn

Do you want a burdensome load
To carry to the end of your road?

Do you want to live in “#uck it!”
’till you kick the bucket?

Do you know why “we’re all gonna die”?
Is Promised Land pie-in-the-sky?

Pushing up daisies more than a maybe
From a man to a stardust baby

Everything will yearn to turn
Everybody will churn
Every body everywhere
Everybody every where

LYRICS
I’m unsure about time capture
Is time something you can store
Am I a time capsule
In continuum on patrol

They say time The Avenger
Will make you a stranger
Foregone unknown into the future
Quick! Capture your soul with a picture

I’m not sure about saving time
The sands of time are too fine
Can’t keep them in an hourglass
Through the glass they pass

If a stitch in time saves nine
What about the tenth?
Are you going to save what’s mine
If so, at what length?

Can you save your life
Be immortality
Can you save your life
Be invincibility

LYRICS
Did you ever wonder:
How much more is in store?
Wake-up in the morning and walk out the door
How much more is in store?
I suppose I’m
A quantity of quality time

Did you ever wonder:
How much more you’ll endure?
Do you suppose time is measured, too?

With gravity I see we gravitate
From before to too late
As suggestion, a question:
Why would I want to wait?
Take advantage of having weight
Before the liquidation
Before we liquidate
Do you ask the question?

LYRICS
Something is happening
The brass ring
Within grasp…
At last
They say it’s a new beginning
Baby, we’re on our way
A free ride
On the carousel
Farewell
Worry died
(Good-bye darkside)

Life is strange
Riding on an ostrich
Modern age
Re-arrange
Going round and round and round
You’re found
On the carousel of life
Reside on the free side
No cost… no strife

LYRICS
Can I start workin’ it a bit
While I think on it
Fore sure, I’d love to know the big picture
… if I start, I can always quit

If I wait to hesitate
Lost time can’t regurgitate
Repeat: to time defeat

In “The End” ride off into the sunset
’til then, I’ve started to begin
My friend, forget about regret
As long as the time that’s mine is livin’

I leave grievin’ starvin’
And keep on believin’ in lovin’

LYRICS
In the mish-mash of the humanity insanity
You are fine art removed from vanity
A perfect picture of compassion
With love you don’t ration

You’re giving away a sum
To anyone that wants some
Crossed the finish line, yet never done
Shinning brighter than the sun

Why don’t we all just do it
Hold all of us to it
Why not change the world
Before we get too old

In the mish-mash of the humanity insanity
You put optimism in opportunity
A pure champion of compassion
With love you don’t ration

LYRICS
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Spittin’… smokin’… gettin’ ready to blow
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
You gotta go with the lava flow
We’ll start to get it
When She throws a fit

What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Earth quake shake you to and fro
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Might just deal the final blow

What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Pit Mother Nature as your foe
What do you know about standing on a volcano?
Damn! Sure hate to see you go

Forego making a stand on a volcano
Try n’ chill down-low mellow
Forego making a stand on a volcano
Less consequences you get to know

LYRICS
I’m finding the utmost interest
In relativity
Feeling dependence on existence
Surreality
Trying to make sense
Of perception without senses
Perceive what I believe
Experience presence
Leap from “Ludwig’s Ladder”
Leave logic a tattered
Chaos theory delivery
The irony of destiny
Sixth sense third-eye I see

Spring from the last rung
Among angels in song
Soul music being sung
Time can’t be too long
In the essence of existence
Is the essence of existence
In the absence of existence
Will exist persist?
