LYRICS
I’m glad to see you’re living
Alive
So glad to see you’re arriving
Arrive
In the time that we’re given
Let’s give
In the time that we’re given
Let’s live

No lie… our days are numbered
We die
Why while away all slumbered
Arise
In the time that we’re given
Let’s give
In the time that we’re given
Let’s live

I’m so glad to see you’re created
Alive
So glad that you made it
Arrived
In the time that we’re given
Let’s give
In the time that we’re given
Let’s live

LYRICS
The joy is crawling in
The joy is crawling out
There’s joy all about
The refrain: in and out
The brain
Laugh and shout
A good start
Tickle your heart
After all
The more the merrier
Hear the call
The message carrier
No synonym for love
Find love within for all
The please release
Begins crawling in
Let it out
Must dust some joy about

bookmark_borderIn The Eyes

LYRICS
Look me in the eyes
There’s no surprise
It’s staring you right in the face
In this very place
It’s matter-of-fact
Ignorance backed
Fear
Meant to tear
Our very fabric
And spread like a disease
(Sick)
If you please
Quick
’til we’re all sick
Suspected to be infected
With a social disease
Since you please
Take no responsibility
For we
Thus us
Our demise I surmise
Demise by disease
Socially transmitted disease
Look me in the eyes
A baby cries. A mother dies.
Thus the fuss
You see…
Death can be deadly
To you… me… we

LYRICS
The directions say
… suppose to connect A to A
The way it’s to be
… connect B to B
If you want the short circuit
To quit
That’s it
And, by the way
Connecting A to A
Intuitively
B connects to B
Black is negative
Red is positive
Green’s neutral in between
If you want the short circuit
To quit
That’s it
Ground protection fault
It’s really not your fault
Saving this bitch
With your kill switch
’till you find the bug
Unplug

bookmark_borderSenseless Consequences

LYRICS
As your skeleton’s glowing
Your brain is knowing
Should be concerning
Urgent. Burning.
Senseless consequences
Gnawing at the mind
I find… gnawing on the mind
If it matters,
They say
Resulting in the decay
Of our grey matter
Titter-tatter
Chitter-chatter
Can you hear?
Brain-eating-worm
In your ear
Can you hear
In your ear

LYRICS
Isn’t it wonderful
Living to see the day
A world so bountiful
Today
Always
All ways tasteful
Now less wasteful

Isn’t it beautiful
Living to see the day
A world so plentiful
Today

All ways hopefull
Now more mindful

Isn’t it emotional
Living to see the day
Love unconditional
Today
Always
All ways thoughtful
Nor more faithful
To humanity
You and me

LYRICS
If you want to play music on the street
Let the rhythm be your beat
Bo Diddly did what Bo Diddly did
Now you can dance ’round like some sort-a kid
If you’re looking for a summertime treat
Well, dance to the music on the summertime street
If you’re looking for some summertime heat
Then dance on the street to a summertime beat
Bow-tied Diddly till I die
Tie-died diddly paint the sky
Go Bo Diddly
Ain’t talkin’ squat
So why not?

LYRICS
Is it really hard to view
An other’s point-of-view
Though no matter what you do
It really isn’t you
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

Is it really hard to see
What’s in front of me
Is the question really
To be or not to be?
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

Have we all become so blind
To being one-of-a-kind
Unique is hard to find
When nothing comes to mind
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

What’s become of vision
I only see division
Truth or opinion
Our ultimate decision
I don’t know but I suppose
The tricks in the optics

LYRICS
Play with the sounds
… ’til the sounds become sound
Engineer all you hear
Make use produce footloose
Tune-in agent fortune

The beat of the feet
Breakdown on the street
The sounds are found
… ’til the sounds become sound

Traffic stops
Top Of The Pops
Sounds go ’round
… ’til the sounds become sound

Tune-in an agent of fortune
… until the sounds become sound
Sounds go round ‘n round
Until the sounds become sound sound

LYRICS
Funny how things work out
Karma kicks in
Sooner than later
About to kick in
Lover or hater?
Go ahead open the door
Already know what’s in store
What goes around
Comes around
Little Jack Horner got some more
Jack and Jill both fell down
Go ahead step outside
Unless there’s something to hide?
Sooner or later
The procrastinator
Comes to learn — it’s too late
Why wait for your fate?

bookmark_borderGone Fishing

LYRICS
Not really one to go fishing
For a compliment at “the sure”
And, though I wasn’t wishing
Yours walked through the door
Not to be hanging
Any more

When your smile walked my way
Parted the clouds, making my day
The simple gesture of saying “You’re great!”
If I was fishing, no need for bait
Blessed
With lucky fate

A simple act of kindness
Can change the course of things
Instead of love blindness
Bring strings that make hearts sing
Words
On which to cling

With the words you choose to say
Abandon the fight, instead unite
We can band together and play
Gather round what is right
Change
The day

LYRICS
Though it sounds insane
You can’t pick your own name
It’s your mom and dad
Best they had
You can’t pick your own name

You can’t pick your mom and dad
Even if you’re the best they had
Just be glad
It’s your mom and dad
Store the mad and sad
Just be glad

Lewd, rude and crude
You can pick your attitude
Change your mood
Heart needs food
Improved my attitude

LYRICS
Suspended disbelief
A miracle’s relief
Wherever the ocean wants to go
The ocean’s shore/sure to go
You know
Can’t you sea?
You can’t get blood from a stone
Better off being left alone
Fortune prone
Can’t we see
(Leave ’em be)
Suspended disbelief
A miracle’s relief
Traverse the girth of Earth
Chapter and verse a fortunate birth
Self-worth
Everyday’s a perfect gift
Why not perfect the lift
Length and width
Suspended disbelief
A miracle’s relief
