LYRICS
It’s a slippery slope
And we’re already sliding
A very slippery slope
Lay on the sleigh
Head on the sled
Going to slide
Pick our ride
It’s a slippery slope
And we’re already sliding
Rather be wrecking
Or gliding?
Can’t wait for skates
Currently curling
Looks like I’m going to ride
On my backside
It’s a very slippery slope
And we’re already sliding
We’re already sliding

LYRICS
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
Where have you been?
It’s alright we know where you’ve been
You’ve been in the pipeline, filling in time
Provided with toys and ‘scouting for boys’
You brought a guitar to punish your ma
And you didn’t like school, and you
Know you’re nobody’s fool
So welcome to the machine
Big man, pig man
Ha, ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha, ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You’re nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying ‘Keep on digging’
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine?
You’re nearly a laugh
You’re nearly a laugh
But you’re really a cry
Another Brick Part IV
I don’t need no walls around me
And I don’t need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on tRump’s wall
Don’t think I’ll need any tRump at all
No, don’t think I’ll need any tRump at all
All in all we’re all just bricks in tRump’s wall
All in all you were all just bricks in tRump’s wall
(And, Mexico is going to pay for it? Stand still, Donny!)
The End Of Times
At that time… there will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then…. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
LYRICS
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Turn up the love
Be a shining star
Shining from above
Shine like the stars
With the love that is ours
Please grant me some wisdom
Bring on the Kingdom
That shines like the brightness
(Brightness) Of the heavens
Like the stars for ever and ever
Love is our endeavor
The playing field evens
When you shine, shine, shine
(With the volume of love)
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Turn up the love
Shine, shine, shine
A mighty fine shine
The brilliance of the brilliance
Giving love a chance
There’s wisdom in the brilliance
Of the brilliance of brilliance
Singing the virtues of the love dance
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Turn up the love
Shine, shine, shine
There’s a lot of space
In the human race
Fill it full of love
Of love, love, love
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Turn up the love
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine

LYRICS
You could get lost in that
As a matter of fact
That’s where I’m at
Some sort-of myth
Of a labyrinth
Amazed in a maze
You could get lost in that
Lost in that
Getting Lost in the Keyboards
For days and days and days
Like a rat in a maze
Push the leaver
Leaver
Believer
Are you a believer
Pushing the leaver
Lost in the maze
Lost in the haze
Lost in that
Caught in the myth of the labyrinth
Going round and round and round
For days and days and days
Spiraling down
’till you figure out
What it’s about
That’s where it’s at
Getting lost in that
That’s where it’s at
Lost in that
LYRICS
How far?
Can you tell me how far?
To find the hole in the guitar
Lost the hole to my guitar
Now I’ve got to travel far
Got to find the whole hole
Find the whole hole
The Whole Hole in my Guitar
My singular goal
Is to find the damn hole
That hole gone missin’
Or are you just messin’?
The whole hole is missin’
I feel like such a fool
How uncool
Disgrace
Lost face
My whole hole has been misplaced
LYRICS
Sailing down that endless stretch of highway
To my home in the sky on Promised Day
Shifting through the gears
Overcoming fears
By-passing the fool
Runnin’ on love’s fuel
Sailing down that endless stretch of highway
To my home in the sky on Promised Day
Learning to thrive
On overdrive
Always strive
To stay alive
Understand?
On the road to the Promised Land
Sailing down that endless stretch of highway
To my home in the sky on Promised Day

American woman, gonna mess your mind.
(Ad-lib spelling)
G A E G A E
American woman, stay away from me.
American woman, momma let me be.
Don't come a hangin' around my door,
I don't wanna see your face no more.
I got more important things to do,
than spend my time growin' old with you.
Now woman, I said stay away.
American woman, listen what I sa-----y.
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
Chorus
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
I gotta go
I gotta getta away
Think I gotta go
I want to fly away
I'm gonna leave you woman
Bye bye, bye bye
And I'm no good for you
(American woman) I'm looking at you right in the eye
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
(American woman) I'm gonna leave you woman
LYRICS
See if we’re able
We’re certainly capable
Of getting ourselves in the swing of things
… into the swing of things
See if it’s actual
That it’s factual
To get natural
Getting in the swing of things
… into the swing of things
You go to and fro
Before ya know
You’re part of the show
Feel free to join in and sing
Before ya know…
You’ll start to swing
… into the swing of things
LYRICS
Come on everybody give it one more try
One more try and you’ll know why
Come on everybody we can all get by
One more try — turn the vibration high
You’ll know why
You’ll know why
It matters to try
When we try
Try, try, try
Vibration’s high
If everyone everywhere becomes aware
I’m tellin’ ya folks we’ll be almost there
IF everyone everywhere will start to care
Then my friend, we’ll be already there
ABOUT THE SONG
Style: ExperiMental Music
Chords: E G A E / E C D E
Recording: live
Vocals, Guitar
Written at the corner of Gay and Church Streets. Recorded at Everhart Park in Chester County, West Chester, PA.
The intersection of Church and Gay Streets is my favorite place to write songs. Not only is it inspirational for lyrics, but the groove of the music can also be tested. Within minutes of starting this song, children of all ages began dancing… a 4-year-old boy started gyrating, a 5-year-old girl twisted and shook, a 1-year-old girl did the up n’ down dance and several adults couldn’t help themselves.
