Life Made Of Dream

Posted on September 16, 2014September 25, 2014 by admin

Writing and Recording at Everhart Park, West Chester

LYRICS
Created a monster in her image
Doesn’t she realize…
Life’s a scrimmage?

Terrorize

From living a life made of dream
Turned into a mean nightmare scream
Realize… you terrorize

Spreading hatred and deceit
Your demise will a sweet treat
Realize… you terrorize

Pray your crucifixion
Brings on resurrection
May your spell in hell
Be brief
Baptized for relief
Baptize I’s

Heart Throb

Posted on September 14, 2014 by admin

Song Writing and Recording in Ocean City, NJ

LYRICS
Can you feel the heart pounding
Can you sense the blood flow
Hear the guitar sounding
As you get to know know

A splinter of sunlight just might…
… set it right

Can you feel the pulse;s throb
Twist the mental’s doorknob
Grasp the gravity of our longevity
Distinguish between infinity and immortality

A splinter of sunlight just might…
… set it right

As we sit and stare into the thin air
Have we a care there’s so much more out there
If we were to look out for the lookout
Maybe we’d grasp what it’s all about

A splinter of sunlight just might…
… set it right

Posted on September 13, 2014September 13, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
When you find your legs ache
Because you want to shake
For the music to take
You away today
You know…
You can just get the go
Get up and go
Get the go

When your told “break a leg”
It’s for luck they beg
Go ahead and play
Play today away
No piper to pay
You away today
You know…
You can just get the go
Get up and go
Get the go

Eve Of War

Posted on September 12, 2014September 12, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Are we on the eve of more war
Terror torn… feathers and tar… more
… apply wet blankets and baseball bats
Gonna eliminate those dirty rats

Out of the Native American’s eye… cry
No solution to our evolution of pollution
Look in the mirror… see the terrorist is I
By being passive in a non-violent revolution

Have we any belief in turning a new leaf
Have we any hope to alleviate grief
Have we any faith God will bless America
Have we any sense to calm mass hysteria

Xenophobe

Posted on September 11, 2014September 11, 2014 by admin

Song Writing and Recording Along the Brandywine, Lenape, PA

LYRICS
Do you ever start thinking a little too much
Imagine a creature behind the hutch
Are you ever overtaken by your head
Imagine a “bad guy” is under your bed

Fear of the unknown
Is your cover blown

Do you ever over-think the situation
Letting rational go on vacation
Do your emotions get the best of you
So you feel there is nothing you can do

Come to realize
Your paralyzed

Quit!
Snap out of it!
Focus
On all of us

Think, Thank, Thanked

Posted on September 11, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Einstein and Wisenheimer brain storm
The prophets and poets did forewarn
Like a garment that is too well worn
There’s a (w)hole there, and it’s starting to tear

From the lesson what did we learn
The penny we save is the penny we earn?
Like a joke that’s too well worn
There’s a (w)hole there, and it’s starting to wear

Think turns to thank and then to thunk
Instead I’m thinking it should be thanked
Instead of a spirit that smells of skunk
Instead of getting karma spanked
Maybe we should make sure that She’s thanked

“Thank you Mother Earth.
Thank you for this spiritual birth.
Thank you Mother Nature for you natural nurture.”

All Lackadaisical

Song Writing and Recording in West Chester, PA

LYRICS
I don’t know whether to be thankful
When it’s “icing on the cake”
Don’t know whether I’m wise of the fool
How much more the world can take

Sometimes it’s too peaceful
A calm before the storm
Gotta be on your guard from the stressful
“Put that in your writing”… sworn… to learn

I don’t know whether to be thankful
When they say “the rest is gravy”
Don’t know whether I’m wise of the fool
When society is lackadaisy
All lackadaisical

What Do I Know?

Posted on September 10, 2014 by admin

Song Writing and Recorded at Everhart Park, Chester County, PA

LYRICS
It’s pretty easy to make a list of things I know
Let’s give ‘er a go

1+1=2
The White House is white, too
Whom is buried in Grant’s tomb
And debate the War Of 1812 date

It’s pretty easy to make a list of things I know
Even so
I know I can’t list what I don’t know
If I know God exists… there’s a twist
At any rate, how can God be good? How can God be great?

It’s pretty easy to make a list of things I know
Let’s give ‘er a go

I know a,b,c
… can sing “from sea to shining sea”
I know we’re meant to be free
And, humans should display humanity

Philly Naked Bike Race

Posted on September 7, 2014September 7, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Sitting on the Parkway
Waiting for the naked bike race
Wondering how far away… sitting on the Parkway

Give the shirt off you back to keep pace
Gonna picture some nudes at the Art Museum
… I am!

Will there be boobs flapping in the wind
Will I see the jubilation within
Will their seat get stuck to the seat
Will they be naked from head to feet?

Give the shirt off you back to keep pace
Gonna picture some nudes at the Art Museum
… I am!

Can you sit still on that bicycle
I wanna get my fill
Bicycle, bicycle thrill

LYRICS
Are those fighting words
Prepare to draw swords
At the Liberty Bell
Truth will tell

Hut, 2, 3, 4 let’s march
Hut, 2, 3, 4 lit torch
From the Liberty Bell
Time will tell

Gathering together
A collective soul
Die or live free forever
For whom does the bell toll?

Save Your

Posted on September 7, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Do you believe save your
… ass is the only goal?
Have you faith your
… ass dig me outta this hole

No matter your angles
Gotta believe in the angels

When you come down from your throne
You won’t feel so all alone
When you get off your high horse
You’ll hear the angel choir chorus

No matter your angles
Gotta believe in the angels

Ahhhh….

Do you believe save your
… soul is the ultimate goal
Have you faith save your
… soul makes the savior

No matter your angles
Gotta believe in the angels
Ahhhhhhhh….

A Rest

Posted on September 6, 2014September 7, 2014 by admin

Songwriting in Everhart Park, Chester County, PA

LYRICS
Why don’t you take a rest
Don’t you think it’s best
If you take a rest

Just a brief pause
So we can dig in our claws
A moment without
So we’re eager to find out

Time to reflect
What you interject
Time to absorb
The meaning of you word

Though it’s note free
Time flows naturally
If in doubt
Go ahead and count

LYRICS
You wouldn’t think it would be that hard
Just throw together a coupla chords
Add to it the wit of the word

Then, bring it on home

Pack it up and store it in your heart
Shake it up and pour it out to start
Forever wherever whenever you may roam

You’ll bring along home

The New Song

Posted on September 4, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Can I think up something original
Think a thought that’s not been thought
Not being retentive in the anal
In deep outside the box is sought

A clever little endeavor
A brilliance shower
In the genre of genius
May the meek empower

Can I think up something new
The first to hear an idea
Is to own a thought something I can do
Can I put my brain into gear
