bookmark_borderFor The Best

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Will you ever forget
All you regret
If your heart will let
Your mind will rest
So, don’t you think it’s best
To free yourself from fret

Will you ever relent
You’ve over spent
If your heart will lend
your mind will mend
So, don’t you think it’s best
Love yourself like the rest

Sure am glad to be free
From the misery
Where there’s love to be found
I’ll let it surround
I know it’s for the best
If peace of mind is the quest

bookmark_borderA Hard Back Novel

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How novel…
Novel
A tail telltale tell-it-all
Novel…
How novel
The bounce pronounced tells it all
Novel…
How novel
Do you have a minute to talk
A story about your walk
Novel…
How novel
Page 1 starts where you take a stance
The plot thickens when you start to dance
Climax comes when you take off your pants
A tail
A telltale tail
Tell-it-all novel
The way it talks the talk
When I see you walk your walk
A tell-it-all novel
Half fact… half friction

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What is up? Are we all gullible
Naive
What is up? Are we all liable
Retrieve
Can’t plead insane
And still remain
Is it too late now?
Believe (You’ve got to believe)

What is up? Are we all ignorant
Numb n’ dumb
What is up? Are we all arrogant
Dumb n’ numb
Is it too late now?
Believe (You’ve got to believe)
Relieve

What is up? Caught in a row
Fight delight
What is up? Forgot how?
Light insight
Is it too late now?
Believe (You’ve got to believe)
Relieve
Receive

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Who has the pow!
Who has the power, now?
The lights are dimming
Glow goes sour
Who has the power?

Who has the pow!
Who has the power, now?

The air is chilling
In the corner, cower
Who has the power?

Who has the pow!
Who has the power, now?

Clock isn’t blinking
For another hour
Who has the power?

Who has the pow!
Who has the power, now?

Bath water is freezing
Must forego a shower
Who has the power?

Who has the pow!
Who has the power, now?

Set the juice loose
Blackout on track
Tail/tale end: caboose
We’ve got the pow!
We’ve got the power, now!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When I fall on my butt
I get up and try it again
No “if, and, nor no but”
Persistence till conquerin’
Until gain with no pain
Never retreat
Just repeat… re, re, re, p, p, p, eat

Get it right the first time
Then, I’m free to keep movin’
Go with the reason, flow with the rhyme
Slip right in to the lovin’

When I fall into the Zen
Want that feeling again and again
Then, it feels like heaven
’cause I’m not one for practicin’

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Who knows where the time goes
But it’s gone, it’s went, it’s spent
Living on borrowed… living on lent
Skip the foes, the woes, the lows
The hands keep on spinning
The world goes round and round
The herd keeps on thinning
Argh… we all fall down

The clock keeps on tickin’
Hoping more can be found
The plot start thicken
Argh… we all fall down

Father Time is aging
On a train homeward bound
The river Styx is raging
Argh… we all fall

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
… the long and short of it:
We did what we did
That’s it
The long and short of it
Period

Now what will we do
To come to the rescue
Rescue you
Rescue me
To save us from our collective “we”
That’s the long and short of it
That’s it
The long and short of it
Period

Let us — soup to nuts
The whole ball of wax
As just the basic facts
That’s the long and short of it
That’s it
The long and short of it
Period

LYRICS
Must get through
Right here! Right Now!
Somehow
It’s what we have to do
… get through
’cause it’s what we have to do
Me, you… we
HAVE TO!
And for the next while
Somehow
Have to get the message through
WE DO! (It’s overdue)
We’ll try to keep it simple
Won’t deviate from the principle
Right here, right now!
“AWAKE!
… our future’s at stake”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Too short on the short
Too long the too long
I must be moving on
In short, so long

The time is ripe to move along
Bring the hype into the song
Open the door
Explore for more
You’ll see…
It’s meant to be
BE

Can’t be rescinded
The way too long long-winded
No. Can’t be really wrong
In short, so long

Said it once, why say it again
Let’s end “The End”
Begin begin
Get it on
Bang a gong
In short, so long

LYRICS
When I look deep in your eyes
See the depth of beauty
An old soul… beyond wise
Be, in depth, the beauty
Big… and dark… and deep
Into my heart you seep
All your previous lives
Culminate in surprise
… deep in your eyes

When I look deep in your eyes
See the depth of reality
An old soul… beyond wise
Being in depth reality
Into our I’s
Deep in our eyes

bookmark_borderOut On Our Own

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Surrounded by many
More than plenty
Yet, I see
Individuality
Dawning on me
All in all
We’re all
Individual

Though it looks that I’m not alone
I suppose I’m out on my own

Starting to see
The element that’s me
Plugging the hole
In the whole
Peculiar molecule
Known as “Be”
The element that’s me
Starting to see
Out of my own
Though it looks that we’re not alone
I suppose we’re out on our own

LYRICS
Fading daylight
Oncome of night
Going dim
Passed the rim
Here/Hear’s what’s happening
Into the evening
Let the music play
Beyond the fall of day
Let tomorrow
Follow today
Heed the call of the sway
’til tomorrow
Follows today

LYRICS
Is anyone listing
Any *one* anywhere
Over here
Over there
… in the wind… whistling
Is anyone listing?

Wouldn’t it be a travesty
If you dumped your tragedy
On me

Searching for a strategy
To save us from your tragedy
On we

Bridge the gap to reality
To serve from your destiny
Agony

Is anyone listing?
Is anyone?
Listening!

LYRICS
Strong enough
Hang tough
If ever there’s a dilemma
I need pulled through
I always know
I can count on you
You’re strong enough
To pull me through
I can count on you
You get a grip
And won’t let go
Then, let ‘er rip
Pulled to from fro
You know
You go
Pulled to to from fro
Hold the tight rope
And won’t let go
Hold out all hope
Pulled to from fro
I know…
You’ll go
Pulled to to from fro
You’ll come to my rescue
Pull me through
I can count on you

LYRICS
Where did you go?
Oh, I know
I see your shadow
Just ’round the bend
My friend
Just out of sight
Out-of-sight
Knowing that you’re right there
Lets me know you know I care
The love we share
We wear aware

If your scent is sensed
Warms the heart to intense
When love makes sense
Lets you know I know you care
We wear aware
