LYRICS
My oh my
You think you can make that pig fly

Fat chance
If you think you can get that pig to dance

You might as well be writing some paperback romance
’cause you’re dreaming
In case you didn’t get it
You’re having a nightmare
And, I can only see one way clear —
Wake up!

There’s no way you will remain
Unless you pray for an angelic refrain

LYRICS
Order
Order in the court
This ain’t no tort
It’s criminal

Order
Order in the court
This is criminal
It ain’t no tort

Do you not understand
The serious nature
Of our accusations
Can’t you see that in a straight jacket
You have limited options

C,c,c,c,c, control

Order in the court
This is criminal
It ain’t no tort

There is no chance
You will get out of this unscathed
There is very, very little chance
You’ll be saved

In what do you believe

C,c,c,c, control
It’s natural
You’re out of control

LYRICS
There will be a time
When the Earth and sky fly
And, you’ll be faced with a lake of fire
And, you’ll be wishing you could get higher

On your Judgement Day
What will you say
Will you find a way
To escape the lake of fire

Every dog has it’s day
And, when it comes to be your day
What will you say
On your Judgement Day

Everybody will meet their maker
After all, you met your mom
When you first started living
In her womb
Now you think you don’t have enough room

Your money ain’t no good on the other side

Writing the song Oh! Susanna Part 2

LYRICS
It rained all night the day I left
The it was dry
And, we all go marching
Down into the ground
To get out of the rain

When January feels like June
Wake up! Wake up! And, none too soon
And we all go searching
Everywhere all around
To get our of the rain

Oh! Susanna
Won’t you cry for me
Oh! Susanna
All can surely see
Oh! Susanna
It’s a tragedy

Oh! Susanna Part 2.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Capo 1
C Am
G Am

Written and recorded on January 12, 2013 in West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania as a digital, 4-track stereo, extemporaneous recording. After posting this status on Facebook, the song was written and recorded on the streets: “Hmmm… 60 degrees in January… perfect day to take music to the streets… maybe write a global warming song?”

It started while I was sleeping… I heard a news report about severe weather being the new normal. Then, I started hearing a mix of the Stephen Foster song Oh! Susanna and the children’s version of Johnny Comes Marching Home known as The Ants Go Marching (and a dash if You Are My Sunshine)… kind-of tossing traditional irony with a modern day twist.

LYRICS
From here to there
And, anywhere in between
A gypsy of body… a lover of being

Spirit comes apart
Soul comes together
There’s a certain science or art
To being a gypsy body
And, a lover of being

From here to there
And, anywhere in between

Thank you your Grace
For allowing me to embrace
This form
This warm form

From here to there
And, everywhere in between

LYRICS
Getting together on a weekday night
Going to make some music
It’ll be alright

Joining in a rock-and-roll band

Getting together in a basement
Making music that just won’t quit
… and, relevant

Joining in a rock-and-roll band

Getting together spirits groove
Going to make ’em move
Maybe outta hand

Jamming in a rock-and-roll band

Joining in a rock-and-roll band

bookmark_borderWaiting With Anticipation

LYRICS
Waiting with baited breath
We try to narrow the width… the breadth
We’re waiting in anticipation

Time and space alienation
As we close the gap
Even if it’s required to run the extra lap
You know that you can break through
You know it’s something you can do
And, I’m waiting with anticipation

The strangulation of time
Time strangulation
Waiting in anticipation
It’s growing shorter
It’s almost here
You know you can see your way clear
See your way clear
Waiting… not for long
Come on, sing along… waiting with anticipation

You’re the one
When the waiting is done
You’re the winner

LYRICS
It feels as though we’re light years away

You’d think in this day
In this day and age
We’d be able to turn the page
To a new day
We’d be able to find a way

It feels as though we’re light years away

If indeed we are a civil civilization
We better have the realization
To have some humane in our humanity
If we’re civil in our civility
We might stand a chance
But, it feels as though we’re light years away

So we better think quick
And, build a spaceship
So there’s enough space
For all this bullshit
’cause we can find a way
In this day and age
We can turn the page
Find a better way
For a better day
We can move through light years today

Or, would that be yesterday or tomorrow?
Past, present and future
We can endure

LYRICS
Every day when I rise
I give praise
For giving me these days
So fortunate

So fortunate
And, I get it
Giving me the strength
Giving me the wisdom
Giving me the days
Length and then some
How fortunate I am
And, I know it

I’m fortunate
And, I really get it

Every day when I rise

Thank you, Lord, for giving me these days
How fortunate
And, I get it

Because of you
I’m of body and soul
I give praise
For these days

In the middle
In the middle of it
Whether you are within
Or, the outer skin

From out here
You’re in the middle of it
From out here
You’re all in the middle of it

From outside
From way back here
It looks like you’re in the middle of it
If you take a different perspective
A different look
It will appear
You’re in the middle of it

If you want to call it a habit
’cause it’s something you can’t quit
As long as you’re under the atmosphere
And above the ground (by at least 6 feet)
Then the chances are thick
You’re in the middle of it

bookmark_borderSafety Dance (Part 2)

LYRICS
If we all stand and dance
We might all stand a chance

You might think you can sit in your seat
And, dance
Well, if you do
And, you can sit and through a fit
That’s you
But, if we all stand and dance
We might stand a chance

As the times get tougher and tougher and rougher and rougher
You might even call it ugly
There’s a light you can see
Come with me
And, make me we
We’ll dance
Because if we all stand and dance
We might stand a chance

Dance is a spiritual romance
It can take us higher
Love is in the dance
There’s romance in the dance
If we all stand and dance
We might stand a chance

We can get together with our energy
And, you and me become we

We’ve only got so much time on this Earth
From when you’re dead
Back to the time of your birth
If you want to make those days pay
And, be on your merry way
If we all stand and dance
We might all stand a chance

What do you say we pick this up a little bit maestro?

(up the tempo)
