LYRICS
Thank Heaven the heat does fade
When I move into the shade
To beat the heat

What do you think about a cold drink
Or the tease of a cool breeze
To beat the heat

Under the shade of threes like these
Fresh oxygen is sure to please
We’ll beat the heat

If only the beach were within reach
Or float down stream… do ya know what I mean
To beat the heat

LYRICS
Telepathic energy
Telepathic synergy
Telepathic connectivity

We’ve got a thing through space
Your scent and taste leave a trace

Imprint memory
Lips, tongue and mammary

Sympathy through telepathy

Partially particle
Yet, we’ll behave like a wave
Participating particle
Goes riding on a wave

Sympathy through telepathy

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I took a fancy to Nancy
Wrapped in a Dan-ce of romance
Ten years of famine
Turn into feast
Into the most from the least
All my life where’ve ya been
More than coincidence
More than chance
Here comes that loving feeling, again

Become aware when love is in the air
Once I begin to take it in
Sorry if I stare whenever you are there
It’s just now in miracles I’m believin’

I took a fancy to Nancy
Wrapped in a Dan-ce of romance
Footloose and fancy free
Is she really dancing with me
Coming back from out of the black
Into the blue with you
Through the last chapter… happily, ever after

LYRICS
See if we’re able
We’re certainly capable
Of getting ourselves in the swing of things
… into the swing of things

See if it’s actual
That it’s factual
To get natural
Getting in the swing of things
… into the swing of things

You go to and fro
Before ya know
You’re part of the show
Feel free to join in and sing
Before ya know…
You’ll start to swing
… into the swing of things

LYRICS
Come on everybody give it one more try
One more try and you’ll know why
Come on everybody we can all get by
One more try — turn the vibration high

You’ll know why
You’ll know why
It matters to try
When we try
Try, try, try
Vibration’s high

If everyone everywhere becomes aware
I’m tellin’ ya folks we’ll be almost there
IF everyone everywhere will start to care
Then my friend, we’ll be already there

ABOUT THE SONG
Style: ExperiMental Music
Chords: E G A E / E C D E
Recording: live

Vocals, Guitar

Written at the corner of Gay and Church Streets. Recorded at Everhart Park in Chester County, West Chester, PA.

The intersection of Church and Gay Streets is my favorite place to write songs. Not only is it inspirational for lyrics, but the groove of the music can also be tested. Within minutes of starting this song, children of all ages began dancing… a 4-year-old boy started gyrating, a 5-year-old girl twisted and shook, a 1-year-old girl did the up n’ down dance and several adults couldn’t help themselves.

The lyrics were inspired by the public hearing about writing music at Gay Church.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I went to my usual spot
Where I sit just ’bout every day
I thought things were going in the usual way
But, there in my seat
Were sandwiches… cheese and meat

A free lunch on its way
A free lunch here today
A free lunch…
A free lunch… what can I say?

I’ve always had a hunch
There’s such thing as “a free lunch”

Did Friedman feed men?
Was Milton smitten?
’cause I find it fittin’
I’ve a bunch of free lunch

LYRICS
You in neon blue
Sure come sure come shinning through…
You do

The way you dazzle
Causing a hassle
Speak? I tried…
Tongue twisted and tied

I must confess
A blue neon dress
On you…
Making dreams come true

LYRICS
Do you have fears when you listen with your ears
Palpitations start when you listen to your heart
Dropping jaw
Staring in awe
Amaze for days
Dazed n’ askew
Unfounded kind
Dumbfounded mind
Not just you… but for me, too

Do you hear cheers when you listen to the young
Does the feel heal when the song is heart sung

LYRICS
An uneasy feeling sweeps the country
Will an uneasy feeling creep in to me
An uneasy feeling reaps the travesty
Will an uneasy feeling seep inside of me

The time is now
To find somehow
The goal — insight
Is the goal in sight

An uneasy feeling sweeps this century
An uneasy feeling keeps uncertainty
An uneasy feeling leap to insanity
An uneasy feeling deep inside of me

LYRICS
I want to believe in charity
See clearly faith and hope
Make hate into a rarity
To the naysayers — nope

Thankful to be alive
Now let’s strive for all to thrive

I want to believe in humanity
Feel dearly and interlope
Before love is a scarcity
Civilization at the end of a rope

Thankful to be alive
Now let’s strive for all to thrive

I want to believe in eternity
Bring infinity into scope
Will our race have longevity
Can our species forever cope

LYRICS
Just in case you wanted to watch
An opportunity to botch
On your gun’s stock another notch

And then Daniel said,
“It’s time for the rising of the dead.”

As your life passes you by
Do you ever wonder why
You’ll while away… then you’ll died

And then Daniel said,
“It’s time for the rising of the dead.”

Then, at the end of your day
What will you have to say?
“Sorry, Lord! I’ve lost my way.”

Daniel said, “It’s time for the rising of the dead.”

DANIEL 12
(1) “Daniel, at that time the great prince Michael will stand up. Michael is in charge of your people. There will be a time of much trouble, the worst time since nations have been on earth. But Daniel, at that time every one of your people whose name is found written in the book of life will be saved. (2) There are many who are dead and buried. Some of them will wake up and live forever, but others will wake up to shame and disgrace forever. (3) The wise people will shine as bright as the sky. Those who teach others to live right will shine like stars forever and ever.
