LYRICS
Do you dread what’s in your head
And when you come to
Will you think so, too?

Do you dread what’s in your head?

Well, my guess
If I were to wager
If I were to place a bet
I could just wait and see
As far as I can see
You set your own destiny

You’re better off to figure
Before you pull the trigger
You better figure it out
Don’t scream and shout

Can’t we just put it to bed?

Oh please don’t ever let me get dread locks in my head

LYRICS
I think it’s time we had a talk with your mother
Unless you have some sort-of druther
I think it’s best if we had a talk with your mother
What’s she gonna think when she see’s this stink
“Jesus, not another”

Mamm, I don’t know if you know who I am
No need to slam
But you might want to have a confidential with your boy
’cause it seems in the pursuit of joy
He thought all the rest of us were just his toy
So please
Get him to cease

If I may say…
Being interrupted in such a rude way
I think it’s time we had a talk with your mother
I’m thinking she might be left in awe
Ahhhhh

I’m aweful sorry Ma
But, after all the awe
Your son has caused such dismay
So if I may
Go outside and play
If I may ask
Just spank his ass
That boy is out-of-control
He’s an outta control troll

LYRICS
The clouds are looking quite threatening
Obviously a storm approaching
Wouldn’t you have to say
The signs are as plain as day

Chorus
Dorthy why aren’t you in the fallout shelter
You ain’t in Kansas… more like Helter Skelter
In a land where you land at the bottom of the slide
Taking man’s best friend along for the ride
Toto, too? Total, too

The circulation of the wind
The severity of the blowin’
Storm tracker has it pinned
Storm warning’s been growin’
Wouldn’t ya have to say it’s as plain as day
Oz, Moses

Chorus

The clouds are looking quite threatening
Obvious a storm is brewing

A song inspired by global warming and extreme weather events.

We are not saying that the Earth’s temperature is just going to rise. In general, as energy is added to a system, the fluctuations in the system increase. So, we expect more storms, more droughts, more wildfires, more floods, more fluctuations of all kinds. What we are saying is that weather conditions will become more volatile due to the impact of humans. (Extreme Weather Events)

The cat is out of the bag
Can’t afford a time lag

No time delay

Gotta search far and wide
Gotta turn the tide

No time like the present
Make yourself present in the present
Before your past goes passed

LYRICS
Take a ride on the slide
Bring your inside
Down to Earth
For what it’s worth

No sense trying to hide the inside
Let your inside out
Let everyone know everywhere
What you’re all about

You’ve got nothing to hide
Let your inside…
Out
Let the whole world know what you’re about

Let your inside slide
Let it out
You can find out what you’re all about

LYRICS
Can’t really tell if you have it in you
’till I see what it is you do
Can’t really tell if you really care
’till I see what it is you share
Consider it a dare

You can talk, you can talk with awe and shock
But when it comes to “thank” can you walk the plank

Chorus

You can fight, you can fight… but can you shed light on the slight
You can fight… can your might gain insight on the site?

LYRICS
Try to create a smile or two
I can give to you
Create a song… maybe a few
That will move you

Remove every fright in sight
Insight

If the boogie man comes
Gonna make him run
Let the overlord come
Gonna make him numb

Until we all see tranquility

Try to convey a concept or two
That relates to you
Convey meaning… then some, too
That will move you

’till every fear takes flight
Take the Reaper’s scythe
Send him underneath
Show Grim gnarled teeth
Emerge from beneath

Until we all see tranquility

Every time you go by there’s an eye-in-the-sky

Just when you thought your were gonna make a change

Everything has ended up strange
Do you even know if it’s in your range
In your reign
It’s in your reign
It’s in your range

It just might start
Within your heart

It’s time to start aiming for the heart
Maybe, baby?

LYRICS
[Loud crowd roar]
Well, lookie, lookie
Looks like we got ourselves a winner

Give this man a cigar
He ain’t no beginner
Ho telling how far
From being a sinner
He’s achieving some God-like status
High above the rest of us
Climbed the stairway to heaven
To begin on Earth all over again

[Loud crowd roar]
Well, lookie, lookie
Looks like we got ourselves a winner

Give the lady a Kewpie doll
She ain’t no beginner
So high should she fall
Back to being a sinner
She’s achieved some God-like status
Way above the rest of us
Climbed the ladder of success
“Damn the new glass floor! No more!”
Cursing the collapsing of the glass ceiling
Feeling she wished it as before

Behind every tree
There’s a girl listening sincerely
Feeling such glee
Knowing they feel me

Behind ever “me”
There’s a soul that can see
So with the music
Raise the dead n’ make ’em quick
As She said, “judge the quick n dead”

Been reaping what I sow
Or so the story goes
More I live, more I know
Fountain of wisdom flows

LYRICS
When you convey a smile
It travels many a mile
Then compound and compile
Everyone tunes into the dial
And, that’s when the times turn fine

You said, “Keep on playing,
I’ll just listen.”
Thanks for saying
Eyes twinkle and glisten
And, that’s when the times turn fine

Saw her tapping her toe
That’s how I know
Wished she didn’t have to go
Solace… she’ll be back, though
And, that’s when the times turn fine

ABOUT THE SONG

This song was inspired by people showing their appreciation when I play music out on the street. Each verse is about different people’s ways of showing their gratitude. The first verse is about a lady driving by in Ambler, PA. The second and third were written at Marshall Square Park in West Chester, PA.
