LYRICS
He said as he ran
“Catch me if you can”
With the feet of mercury
Ran so fast… could hardly see
Got a trigger? Better pull it
Faster than a speeding bullet

He said as he ran
“Catch me if you can”
Once on the run, long gone
Rolling into the setting sun
Right on through to the dawn
Another notation said and done

He said as he ran
“Catch me if you can”
Go, go, go to and fro
Run, run, run! He’s not done
Never been seen running slow
Plant it, pivot, and go, go, go

The lack of light is dim
Would you please let light in

Brighten up the day
Enlighten ‘long the way
Naturally sway

LYRICS
Head up in the clouds
Angels sing so loud
What a crowd
See the stars
Not that far
Head above love the clouds
The best in me
Sees the divinity
Of astronomy
Earth is in the heavens
Naturally

Head up in the clouds
Big ban’s fate resonates
So loud
Sea of stars
Not that far
Head above the clouds
The best in me
Sees the divinity
Of astronomy
Earth is in the heavens
Naturally

Not one-of-a-kind

Oh so dangerous

bookmark_borderTurn Around

LYRICS
Isn’t life beautiful
A heavenly place
It’s all a matter of self-fulfill
The direction you face
Turn round
Turn round
… turn around

Isn’t life wonderful
A heavenly place
The more you give goodwill
The more heavenly the race
Turn round
Turn round
… turn around

Isn’t life amazing
A heavenly place
All a matter of staging
The direction you face
Turn round
Turn round
… turn around

bookmark_borderWatcher of the Sky

LYRICS
The watcher of the sky
Sounds the alarm
The catcher of prey
Founder of harm
The capture of the raptor
What’s for dinner tonight
The rapture of the capture
A feasting delight

A murder of crows
Goes for the kill
A surrender of woes
A cuisine thrill
The capture of the raptor
What’s for dinner tonight
The rapture of the capture
A feasting delight

Climbing the food chain
Ever higher
Tale of the Red Tail
The End is dire

LYRICS
Do you think money
Means no worry
Sorry, au contraire
Let me tell ya
Things get funny up there
Up with the high falutin
with a toxic pollutant
Through the heart
Return to start
Try starting over again
Then, begin

bookmark_borderWhen I Saw You

LYRICS
When I saw you walking by
Really wanted to say hi
Then, thought better of taking a chance
Given our circumstance
I’m contagion shy
Don’t think I champion
Trying to die
Since my days are numbered
Finding ways to make it high
Move about unencumbered
Letting spirit fly

Then I saw you walking back
Trying to maneuver through the flack
Will things get better
… at second glance?
Given our circumstance
I’m contagion shy
Don’t think I champion
Trying to die
Since my days are numbered
Finding ways to make it high
Move about unencumbered
Letting spirit fly

bookmark_borderInside-out

LYRICS
They say do or die
But do I?
Win the battle
Lose the war
No, no more

We’re on our way
To play
Another day
Shout!
To let the inside-out

They say do or die
But oh why?!?!
A bath of blood and gore
No, no more

We’re on our way
To play
Another day
Shout!
To let the inside-out

bookmark_borderMomentum of Time

LYRICS
Dog days of summer surely will pass
Holiday of days surely can’t last
Shorter days are coming on fast
The momentum of velocity x mass
If all things shall pass
Can a man stand last?
Judge the dead and the fast
Above your funeral mass

Can’t keep living in the past
To get past the void that’s oh so vast
Move on beyond the die that’s cast
Break the mold be free at last
If all things shall pass
Can a man stand last?
Judge the dead and the fast
Above your funeral mass

bookmark_borderPrimates’ Fate

LYRICS
Pounding head
Ringing ears
Living dead
Bring on fears
Fellow Man,
Lend a hand to understand
We primates
Can’t hesitate…
Let’s understand

Tearing eye
Tearing I
Limb from limb
Looking dim
Fellow Man,
Lend a hand to understand
We primates
Can’t hesitate…
Let’s understand

Burning nose
No one knows
Chances slim
Looking grim
Fellow Man,
Lend a hand to understand
We primates
Can’t hesitate…
Let’s understand

bookmark_borderUp in the Air

LYRICS
Can they catch the toss
Before it’s a loss
Their up in the air
Will they land in hand
Understand
Their up in the air
And do they see
Opportunity
Slipping through their fingers
And could it be
The lunacy lingers

Can they catch the throw
Or drop to “I don’t know”
Their up in the air
Will the message they send
Comprehend
Their up in the air
Slipping through their fingers
And could it be
The lunacy lingers

bookmark_borderStride

LYRICS
One foot in front of the other
In step with one another
The stride from inside
Feet in lockstep fleet
Synchronized to the beat
Stride from the inside
Search for meaning
March forward leaning
Stride from inside

Left. Right. Formation tight
Out of shadows into light
We stride from inside
1,2,3,4 across the floor
… out the door
Keep in stride from inside
Search for meaning
March forward leaning
Stride from inside

bookmark_borderUp the Down

LYRICS
Am I running the wrong way
Or is the world spinning faster
I just ran past her
Maybe if I run in the opposite direction
There’d be less friction
But then again
Running up the down escalator
Sure to bet the elevator
Am I running the wrong way
Or is the world spinning faster
I just ran past her

LYRICS
It sure does lack
… looking back
There’s so much know
In tomorrow
It seems the sheen
Of dreams
Comes shining through
On you

Making sure the future
Brings the things that sing
It seems the sheen
Of dreams
Comes shining through
On you

Away on the day after today
Leapt past time kept
It seems the sheen
Of dreams
Comes shining through
On you
