LYRICS
In this place in space
Graced with a human face

If all I could do is bark like a dog (bark, bark)
Aardvark licking up and all day ’till you pass away
If all I could do is eat like a hog (oink, oink)
A mink… ya think I’ll gloat about being a coat?

All aboard. Praise the Lord
Graced with a face
In the human race

The question won’t be “Now?” or whether

It seems our dreams of climate change are coming true
Pray tell, well… what will we do?

The wrath of God you can see in the sea
Ominous clouds forebode what’s to be

LYRICS
There was a farmer who had a dog
No sense in being a hog
Now give the dog a bone

You’re only going to eat the meat
Why not give the dog a treat
Yeah, give the dog a bone

We’re garbage prone
When left to our own
Devices our vices

In the gasp of a flash we’ve made more trash
Better find a real solution to all of our pollution
Like “give the dog a bone”

Chorus

You’re only going to eat the flesh
What about the rest of the mess
The “give the dog the bone”

Day by day
Days go away
Minute by minute
Just won’t quit

Year by year
They disappear
Second by second
We can’t rewind

So as long as the memory knows
Let those memories grow
And as long as our time flows
Living in the present innuendo

Avoid the crazies
Pushin’ up daisies
Entice an embrace
Of the human race
They’ll know your story
In the land of glory

LYRICS
Heard people say you can never go home again
But when I get there they say, “Where’ve ya been?”
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

No surprise when ya look in their eyes
A familiar face… you realize
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

There’s nothing like finding a long lost friend
Except for finding a long lost friend
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

Sorry to say some have passed away
But it’s OK… we’ll meet again some day
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords

D C G
C G G7 C
E Am

Written and recorded in Clearfield, Pennsylvania.

A live 1-track stereo recording made on a park bench in downtown Clearfield.

Chinklacamoose, spelled many ways, was an old Native American village located at what is now Clearfield, Pennsylvania. The village existed from the early 1st century up until around the mid to late 17th century. The village was about halfway along the Great Shamokin Path, which started at the old Indian village of Shamokin (present day Sunbury), along the West Branch of the Susquehanna River west to its ending point at the village of Kittanning.

Chinklacamoose kept its name up until 1804, when it became the first township for Clearfield County. Only three years later, the township began to split up into smaller townships, like Beccaria, Bradford, Lawrence and Pike by 1813, when Chinklacamoose Township no longer existed and the name was lost to history.

Keeping the scenic scene free from obscene
Know what I mean? By no means mean

No sign of signs
Pollution desolation
Lover of love
Negator of the hater

Caretaker curator for the Maker
A race leaving no trace in our space

Stave being slave. Wave on the wave
No gaudy God… Lord we applaud

Oh,

Solution to the puzzle
Take off the muzzle

Freedom of speech isn’t free
If the word isn’t spoken
And the slumbered woken

I get it
Tell the world what it’s about
What it is we’ve figured out

I can see
Freedom of speech isn’t free
When enslaved
It takes a human to behave
Soooo please don’t save
Your contribution
To the solution

Take off the muzzle

There must be a reason
No matter the season
You bring out the worst in me
There must be a reason

Justice comes eventually

And by chance
When the scales balance
I’m around to see
Eventually be
Inevitability to reality

There must be a reason
No matter the season
The pig is ripe on the vine
There must be a reason
No matter the season
Humans turn to swine

And by chance
When the scales balance
I’m around to see
Eventually be
