based on today’s earthquake
by Daniel Brouse
What do you dread?
A raccoon in (your) bed?
I yelled, “Hey!
What’s going on?”
I thought “Say,
The End is upon?”
Hey! Say,
The End is upon?
Time?
Virginia 5.9
Did ya quake? Did ya shake?
As your life flashes
‘fo your eyes
Was it fake?
Am add G slide to F#
The storm water system failed
Manhole covers sailed
Surge
Urge
The forces that be
Caused by we
Reckless endangerment meant
We forced the hand
That feeds us
What happens next?
Bite with spite
We did
We Id
Let our ego go
Out-of-control
Written after a weekend of intense thunderstorms caused flash flooding across the state of Pennsylvania.

Capo 3 (play like and Em for a G. take index and middle fingers back and forth across the fret)
We’re here
To document crime
Past, present and future
We’re hear
Subtle. Sublime.
To serve Her nature
Listen. Absorb.
Law is 
Her nature
is judge
Justice balance
Will naturally occur
I of nature
And of Her
Eye of nature
Nurture

Are you happy with
The life you choose
Are you happy
Let’s win
… try not to lose
Are you happy with
The friends you choose
Do they make you happy
… happy to be alive?
Put your life in overdrive
Let’s cruise

Yes, it’s true
Love can slip inside of you
Yes, it’s true
Love will get you through
Yes, it’s true
Love and slip outside of you
(bridge to G / c)
Omniscient view
Making dreams come true
Love can slip right through you
Creating a mighty soulful brew

A little drop of light
Had the might
To creep and peep
Through the shadows of a cloud
And, shine a drop on me
Like angels singing aloud
Liquid sunshine
Makes ya feel feel fine
A little drop of light
Feels alright
Liquid sunshine
Divine

I can tell by the way
You tore us apart
There’s a hole
In your heart
It’s time
For some major laser
Major laser brain surgery
It would appear
The time is near
For you to have corrective surgery
It would seem
That you are mean
… fix the tear in your heart
The black hole
That tore us apart
Try to fuse
Before we all lose
With some major laser
Major laser brain surgery
Try to repair
Under there
Where the heart
Has a tear
You ripped your heart
Apart
Why would you do
You
Why would you ever
Want to rip your heart apart?
Dear,
Now, I’m here
For some major laser
Major laser brain surgery
Is there anybody home?
Any friends and family
Should beware
Should be aware
The Damn Age
She will damage
The Damn Age
Let’s start
To fix your heart
Major laser
Major laser brain surgery
Fix the tear
In your heart
There’s something wrong with you
Fix the view
Despicable
Fix-able?
Operate
Castrate
Major laser
Major laser brain surgery
Operate
Before, it’s too late
Begin
Time to go in
Here we go
Try to fix her *know*
You’re sick
You’re ill
No goodwill
Time to repair in there
Major laser
Major laser brain surgery
by Daniel Brouse with a little inspiration from Emerson Lake and Palmer *Brain Salad Surgery”

What shall we do
On such a rainy day
Do you want to
Come over and play?
I’ve got a studio
Oh, oh, oh
For you and I,
I, i, i
You can plug right in
And, begin
To play
For the rest of the day
What shall we do
On such a rainy day
Do you want to
Come over and play?

I swear
There’s something in the air
Helping me see clearly
G / F walkdown to C
The atmosphere
Helping me see clear
I swear
There’s something in the air
Helping me see more clearly

at one point there was this sign in Mack and Manko Pizza about “Don’t Change Ocean City” that made me smile in a sad way

The Last Resort
C / Am
Have you heard the news report
We’re down to the last resort
(the last great resort, great resort)
Welcome to the great last resort
It’s not as great
As it use to be
You see
The seaside spot
Is not (is not)
Beside
The sea
D
…. going down, down, down
G
with no urge to submerge
Second verse:
Paradise island… now Paradise was land

So, I went and played… and thought….
I put in one of our domain names… and played and thought some more….
There were quite a few things that stood out. The ones that had to do with music that were fun to play with were:
after extrapolating, it looks like we are one of the top ten MP3 sites on the web. Being that we have original music and own the copyrights, it brought a smile to my face.
Another interesting thing was how Google ranked our bands — it looked like Mess was number one.
Perhaps it’s time to put another Mess album out?
