Oncoming Traffic

Posted on March 16, 2013March 16, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
If your ball should roll out onto the road
Before you run out, watch for the oncoming load

When you run out into traffic
It could end up tragic
Not the story you want told
“Tragic.. died before he was old.”

Wonder who built the roads anyway?
Now they just seem in the way
Of our progress in being a civilized civilization
On that superhighway of life
A bug’s life is strife
Being shattered on the windshield
’cause that oncoming load would not yield

My life became a mess
My innards on the interstate

Stop. Look. And, listen.

Before you run out on the road, look out for that oncoming load

Oh, %^&*!
Here comes a truck
Do you know if I can duck?

With a giant leap of faith we can overcome that oncoming freight

Centaur

Centaur.mp3 (free download)

LYRICS
Look deep inside
Have I the courage to ride?

Envision a creature
Half woman… half horse
A significant feature —
Majestic wings
To take flight… of course
The prophecy She brings

Centaur: God sent her

Heard the wings huge whirr
So fast as to blur
Descending from heaven
Calming the heathen

Put an end to war,
Centaur

Envision a creature
(Heaven sent, for sure)
Intelligent brain
Glowing mane
No chance to tame
Sent from the Main

Look deep inside…
I have the courage to ride!

Backtrack

Posted on March 15, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Gonna move along
Without any trace or track
If I don’t leave a track
Can’t backtrack
Gotta move ahead
No sense rehashing everything we said

Gonna roll down the road
Gonna roll this old soul

This rolling stone will gather no moss
Not gonna leave destiny to the ole coin toss

Gotta take charge of your destiny
I mean, after all… it’s all about *me*… my destiny
Gotta set yourself free
Break out of those chains
Cut the losses for gains

Heading down the tracks
Leaving no tracks
No backtracks
Moving ahead
No rehash of what’s been said
Gonna move along
To a traveling song

The blowing wind
Of the fiercest storm
Well, be forewarned
I’m coming at you like a freight train
Heading at ya
There’s no backtrack

Distilled Spirits

Posted on March 14, 2013March 14, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
There’s a place below absolute zero you can go
Where the evil spirits can’t go… the temperature is too low

A place where freewill will
And, the evil spirits distill

Someplace low, low, low, low, low
Where the evil spirits can’t go
They can’t go

Distill the evil spirits (and, they fear it.)
The cream of the crop will rise to the top

If you can seek out… find out about
A place that is low
So low the evil spirits can’t go

Divining Rod

Posted on March 14, 2013March 14, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
There was a protracted, aggravated dry spell
About the only song written was “Oh, Well“, well
Once there was a length of time
When nothing would rhyme

Aggravatingly long dry spell

Needed a diving rod
For some spiritual inspiration
Something from God…
An Act Of God
So, we could get some H2O penetration

Any Which Way

Posted on March 14, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Any which way
As long as it’s the highway

I’ve been listening to you all night and day
The only thing I’ve got to say…
Any which way
As long as it’s the highway

All night and day
I have to sit and listen to what you say
Any which way
As long as it’s the highway

This is your call…
Do you call for the fall?

Any which way
As long as it’s the highway

Any Which Way.mp3

The Race Is On

Posted on March 13, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Said, the cat to the mouse,
“The race is on”
You know the race is on
Run!

The race is on

You know the race is on
When you hear the starting gun
The race is on
It’s time to run

Said, the dog to the cat,
“The race is on…
Didn’t you hear the starting gun?
Come on and run ’cause the race is on”

You know the race is on
When you hear the starting gun
Come on and run

Don’t hesitate as we commence the chase

Said, the spider to the fly,
“The race is on…
Go on and run,
The sticky web that I weave
Makes it hard to leave.”

Come on the race is on

1, 2… 1, 2 ready go

They’re off!
The race is on

You better run
Before the setting sun

Didn’t you hear the starting gun?
It’s in my heart to give you a little head start

And We All Bleed

Posted on March 12, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Prelude (recorded in the soundcheck)
What if I’ve just been the victim of the world’s greatest con
What if I’m just a victim of everything that’s gone wrong
And, we all bleed
When one of us is bleeding, we concede to bleed.

The Song
Have I just been the victim of the world’s greatest con?
All these people and politicians tell me nothing’s gone wrong?
That’s the wrong song!

Try to convince me
We’re not responsible?
Yes, you try to convince me
That we’re not responsible?
That’s most irresponsible

We’re responsible for all this trash
We’re responsible for all this mess
We’re responsible for all pollution
We’re responsible for institution
De-civilization

Maybe it’s time
We woke up and smell the coffee
Can you smell the coffee
Or, is it just me?

We’ve all got something wrong going on
Well, folks…
Look behind that curtain
It’s a hoax
The Wizard is you
Now, what’cha gonna do?

Have we just victimized ourselves of the greatest con
It’s all around
How it went wrong is now in song

Is it just me or do we have to take responsibility?

And We All Bleed.mp3

Rush

Posted on March 11, 2013March 11, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
What’s up?
I wouldn’t take long

’cause long ain’t what we got
Your time is running short
… or, have you forgot
Ashes to ashes… return to dirt

What’s up?
I wouldn’t take long

Since your time is getting cut short
Try ‘en let it out as one long blurt
… or, make ’em tingle with a lil’ jingle
… move ’em along with an uplifting song

What’s up?
I wouldn’t take long

Recapitation.mp3

LYRICS
Here they come
Where will they fall
Deaf or dumb
Will they hear the call?

The harder they come
The harder their fall
The bigger they come
The bigger their fall

One by one
No matter how tall
No feeling… they’re numb
Did their brains all stall?

The bigger they come
The harder they fall
The bigger they come
The harder their fall

Never The Regret

Posted on March 11, 2013March 13, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
I suppose if this is the calm before the storm
I should take refuge and heed the warn
If things go helter skelter
Do you want to live in a bomb shelter?

Enough picking have and have nots
Enough debating whys and why nots
Lets get getting while the going is good
Livin’ in the moment… just a bit
Never the regret of would, could, should
(no would of, could of, should of’s)

LYRICS
You got your eye on me?
Hoping you can see that we can be
And, live happily

Have you ever heard a song so absurd?
Feel free to join in

Once you start it’s easy to begin

Moving

Moving.mp3

LYRICS
We’re moving… moving into the light
It feels right
We’re moving… moving into the light
It’s alright

No sense trying to fight the fight
Why go to war against war
No sense trying to slight with might
Might just find Self dead on the floor
Might as well banish all the blight
Can’t imagine life as a bore
Making others’ days bright with insight
Taking off on a spiritual tour

The Protest Song.mp3

LYRICS
I found myself smack dab in the middle of a protest
Not exactly sure what it’s about
I find we always had… everything we need…
More or less
One thing’s for sure
These people want out

Lout out there… smell freedom in the air
Feel the movement of our moment
Hear the call for all
A taste of freedom is right there

Irreverent Relevant Elephant

Irreverent Relevant Elephant.mp3

LYRICS
Relevant

Relevant
As an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop

It’s time to be big
Big… bigger than this
Bigger than this
A luscious kiss
Able to transcend
Again and again

Time to get relevant
Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop

Relevant

Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop
Irreverent in a reverent way
Instead of gone astray
We can band together
As a band
Not, necessarily hand-in-hand
(Staying unique)

Coming relevant
Like an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop!
