Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Here it comes…
… there it goes
Wanted it oh so bad
Don’t let it leave ya feelin’ sad
Anticipation
Exasperation
Wanted it oh so bad
Not as good as we had

Here it comes…
… there it goes
Started to get to know
Easy come… easy go
Exciting surprise
Let down by-and-by
Starting to get to know
Road that’s high… road that’s low

Here it comes…
… there it goes
Coming to recognize
Me, me, me’s n’ I, I, I’s
Come time to let go
Get the hing to go, go, go
Coming to realize
To live life before it dies

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Try to be nimble
Try to be quick
Try to get out from under the think
Try to be humble
Not such a dick
Try to get out from under the think
Embedded
Midst of think headed
Embedded
In the land of the dreaded
Look to see
Breaking free

Try to be agile
Little less fragile
Try to get out from under the think
Take the best pick
Not in the clique
Try to get out from under the think
Embedded
Midst of think headed
Embedded
In the land of the dreaded
Look to see
Breaking free

bookmark_borderBe Like God

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A smile, a nod
It’s not that odd
What a little love can do
A heart that’s true
Will comfort you
What a little love will do
No matter whatever may ail
No doubt love will (not fail) prevail
The elixir will fix her
The remedy for the malady
The melody to life’s harmony

It’s not that odd
You can be like god
What a little love can do
You’ll heal the sick
Make the dead quick
What a little love will do
No matter whatever may ail
No doubt love will (not fail) prevail
The elixir will fix her
The remedy for the malady
The melody to life’s harmony

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
While growing older
I’m learning a fact of time
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
Times growing bolder
Refusing to heed my whine
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
She’s making funny faces
Moves fast… leaves no traces
Should be clockwise round n’ round
But, she wins the race
Hands down

As I grow older
Figured a fact of time
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
Times growing bolder
Refusing to heed my whine
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
She’s making funny faces
Moves fast… leaves no traces
Should be clockwise round n’ round
But, she wins the race
Hands down

Now that I’m older
Embody the fact of time
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
Times growing bolder
Refusing to heed my whine
She won’t turn back
She won’t turn back
She’s making funny faces
Moves fast… leaves no traces
Should be clockwise round n’ round
But, she wins the race
Hands down

bookmark_borderKeep Looking

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you haven’t found what you’re looking for
Keep looking
Go round in the sound
Find out “who I am”
Take it up from down
Tighten up the unwound

If in the jam you haven’t jelled
Keep cooking
Go round in the sound
Find out “who I am”
Take it up from down
Tighten up the unwound

If in the song the groove goes wrong
Keep hooking
Go round in the sound
Find out “who I am”
Take it up from down
Tighten up the unwound

LYRICS
So many days
The ways to spend them
So many days
The ways to send them
Wide awake
In the thick of the give and take
Well aware
The number of days are numbered there

Fall in love
Kiss, date, bliss, mate, all the above
All in love
Life, liberty, pursue happiness, all the above
Wide awake
In the thick of the give and take
Well aware
The number of days are numbered

LYRICS
Summon your love light on
In the flow, connect and glow
It’s the time
It’s the time
Let it shine
Shine, shine, shine

Someone loves your love light
To know the glow through the night
Let it shine
Let it shine
All the time
Time to shine

Summary of a lifetime
Letting the love light shine
Turning on out of starkness
Bringing dawn from the darkness
It’s time
Let it shine
All the time
Time to shine
All the time
Shine, shine, shine

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Thin skin human
Fragile being
Protected by your atmosphere
What do you have to fear?
Say it again
Agile being
Adaptive to your habitat
What do you think of that?
King of the jungle
Lord of the wilderness
Caught in the tangle
Of selfishness

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
All my ducks in a row
Time to fly South, you know
Round and round the Earth we’ll go
Until to becomes fro
I know it mustn’t be that far
Until we’re back to where we are

Might be too late to migrate
Time to fly North… vacate!
Round and round the Earth we’ll go
Until to becomes fro
I know it mustn’t be that far
Until we’re back to where we are

Do you mind staying for one more
’cause I can’t bare leaving the dance floor
Close our eyes

bookmark_borderTake It All In

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Wondering if I can take it all in
Before The End… begins
Do you think we’ll go extinct
The remedy to Earth’s misery
But while we’re still
Do you think we will
Continue to kill
Kill, kill, kill?

Wondering if I can take it all in
Before The End…
Wondering if I can take it all in
Before The End… begins
Do you think those that are fine
Will let their light shine
Shine, shine, shine
Alleviating hearts will succeed
By their light see eternity

Wondering if I can take it all in
Before The End…
Wondering if I can take it all in
Before The End…
Wondering if I can take it all in
Before The End… begins
Do you think tortured souls freed
No humane human will be in need
As every man comes to understand
The fate of man is in his hand

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The tale of the dog’s tail
Got cut short
In the grand scale of things
Not much to report
Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails
What are we made of?
Sugar and spice and everything nice
Boom-a-rang of love

The tale of the dog’s tail
In The End
The grand scheme of things
Return-send… return… send… return… send
The End

LYRICS
Alligator scales
A lizard at large
Proprietor wails
Look who’s in charge
The monster in us
Thrown under the bus
The monster within
Will never win

Look what id did
You know ego gloat
Do the devil’s bid
Can’t sugar coat
The monster in us
Thrown under the bus
The monster within
Will never win

Right from the start
Can’t keep the beat
Is it in our heart
To defeat conceit
The monster in us
Thrown under the bus
The monster within
Will never win

LYRICS
Why does it have to get so dark out
’cause there’s no doubt
We need the light
Enlightening
Ends fighting
Enlightening

Why does it get dark so early
I mean really
We need the light

Ends fighting

Why does dawn’s turn on hesitate
’cause we can’t wait
We need the light
Enlightening
Ends fighting
Enlightening
Less frightening

bookmark_borderTimekeeper

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The scorekeeper thought a little deeper
“I wonder who’s keeping time?”
As time continued to seether
“I wonder if I’m?”
Before Time runs out
Better figure what it’s about

The timekeeper stopped to ponder
“I wonder who’s keeping score?”
His mind continued to wander
“Is there any more?”
Before Time runs out
Better figure what it’s about

The players kept on saying
“I wonder who’s keeping track”
So they continued on playing
No / know you can’t get time back
Before Time runs out
Better figure what it’s about
