Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Standing right here, I see
Where else could I be
Exactly where I am
Now, to begin…
Stand up! Shout out!
Don’t you think it’s time we all move about?
Stand up! Shout out!
Don’t you think it’s time we all dance about?
It can’t get past me
We’re all alone
I won’t outlast me
Mortally prone
Eventually we cease to be
Perpetually remember me
(seize a memory of me)
It can’t get past me
We’re not alone
You may outlast me
… on your own
Eventually we cease to be
Perpetually remember me
(seize a memory of me)

LYRICS
I don’t know about all of this, that and the others
But, boy, I can tell you… If I had my druthers
All these muthers
Would have another thing coming
More strumming
Eat the beat

It seems that everyone you meet
Says “you are what you eat”
All of these “others”
Having a dream that smothers
More strumming coming
Eat the beat

Now, if you want a real treat
Close your eyes, open your mouth… and tweet
(Whistling)
Open (up) your heart
This’ll be the start…
Whistle!
More strumming and drumming
Eat the beat

LYRICS
The irony of destiny
Can’t let it get the best of me
Blatantly the destiny (one sees)
Is in the “I” of the beholder
One thing’s for certain
We’re all growing…
Older
Going
If the wheels
Come off the tracks
There’s no give-backs
Seals (your) destiny
Maybe I’m blind
’cause I can’t see
Destiny

LYRICS
Ohhh… the things we get into
Something old
Something (k)new
Something blue, too
The rush of flush
Thrill of the chill
Know the unknown

Went against the current
Said no to “with the flow”
Know I can make a pig fly
If you say I can’t, still I will
In the course of the force
Goal: square peg in round (w)hole

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Hear the texture of rain
See the colors of sound
Double the sense of sane
It’s all around
Even the smallest drop (drip)
Spreads a ripple
Suckling Mother Nature’s nipple
Born to live
Take and give
Arrive at alive!

The texture of rain
As it hits the ground
Through a light refrain
A rainbow of sound

Pour! The texture of rain
Elixir of pain
The soothing sound
A sight to be found

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Inside the outer workings
Stands the land of I
The success of (my) civilization
Depends how hard I try
Along the path, forkings
Will I be left or do right
The success of my creation
Depends on my insight

Shed some light
Just enough reign
For growth’s gain
Earth revolving
Evolving
(Growing knowing)

Inside the outer workings
Stands the land of ours
The success of (our) civilization
Depends upon our devours
Inside the outer workings
Understand fight or flight
The success of our creation
Depends on our insight
(chorus)
Success… yes!

LYRICS
2 and 2 and 2 and 2 is eight
Is it too, too, too, too late
(2+2) x2 is 8
Is it too, too, too, too late
Not too late to appreciate
Another day above ground
On our world spinning ’round
Feel the sound

I’m counting out time at a rapid rate
Quicksand trap of the hourglass’ bait
(chorus)

Avoiding the low road
Interstate of hate
Taking the high road
Inner state’s pearly gate
(chorus)

Numbered are the days
Till our final date
Expiration is sealed
In our fate
(chorus)

LYRICS
That’s what I’m talking about!
Shout:
“O.K. Jose”
Hit the road, toad
Get jumping
Hop to it
I will install
(and good ole
Rock n’ roll)
The lance of “let’s dance”
With a glance, lance let’s dance
It’s a draw
The art of the art
A real deal
Picture this
Sound synthesis
Opening up you mind’s “I”
At stake — awake
In the dawning of the rise
Mind’s eyes
Taking the stance: music + dance

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Wipe that smile right of my face?
Imply I lace disgrace
Upon the entire human race
At least a taste of grace?
(In our space)
Seems this deems the high beams
Where you’re throwing shadows
We’re casting light
Now we just might
Brighten the tomorrows
Might shine the light
(sigh) I’m on high!
Be a saint and paint a smile
Make it wide… a country mile
Steaming and beaming from ear-to-ear
Lighting up everything far and near
Absurd actions speak louder than your word
Then, which is mightier… pen or sword?
No matter how you slice and dice
We’d all be better off thinking twice

LYRICS
Locked and loaded
Ready to roll
Rock exploded
Gone for a stroll
Rock and roll
Come on fellas
I think it’s time to unload
Guerillas
Got guitars
Hittin’ the road
Road warriors
Soul soldiers
Secret decoded
We’re on a roll
Nerves eroded
Loss of control
Come on ladies
I think it’s time to unload
No more maybe’s
Get powered
Hittin’ the road

LYRICS
To hear in one ear
And right out the other
Only a fool to full/fool
With the bull
If he has horns
One learns
A dose of close
Only counts
In horseshoes
Hand grenades
And water balloons
It comes on soon
Court jester or wild loon?
My mother heard my father
Say to my brother
… and right out the other

LYRICS
Do you like the sound of this
Your desire
Your wish
Stoke the fire
Passionate kiss
The new wish-list
Venus’ mist
Heavenly bliss
Do you hear
The angels whispering
In your ear?
Do you hear
In your ear
Angels whispering?

Do you like the sound of this
Stroke desire
… polishes
Feed the fire
Passionate kiss
Dimpled skin
Flush within
Then, still
A special chill
Up and down the spine
… in time

LYRICS
The beauty from within
Will sprout out
A season will begin
You’ll bloom soon
No doubt
The roots dig in
Giving power
To your flower
Your hour

The peddle of the petal
Won’t settle
Until it sprouts out
Colors of the rainbow flow
For all to see
The beauty
That you’ll bloom to be
The beauty you’re soon to be

What you say
And what you do
Do in some way

In some way
Combine “I’m”
I’m all about me

Over time I’m

You, too?
Now, I see
I’m all I can be
