LYRICS
Amazed or perplexed
Raised or hexed
Am I amazed of perplexed
Amazed or hexed… perplexed
What the heck
A whole new level
Beyond “oh, well”

A good night, goodnight
A new level of amazed
A new level for all
A knew playing field
Level for all
… just yield to the playing field

LYRICS
I forgot what I was going to say
Think it had something to do with today?

Trying to say
In a simple way
Tip of the tongue
Then, gone away

No regret if nothing’s said
Take it to the grave… subject dead
Wait! Don’t let me hesitate
’cause I hate “too late”
Dang! Forgot again
What a sin

Like I was going to say
Before it got away…
… I’m trying to say…
Parapraxis is

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is it a matter of splatter
If the mass of ass
Is fatter?
Um
Momentum
I see velocity
Is not parity
When you factor in
My mass
Be it fact of fiction
God! More friction
I’m sliding into you
Are you sliding into me, too
Um, momentum
Got me some
Be it less rare
If I offer to share?
Do you care form some

… the language of baggage

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about momentum.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Trying to find
If there’s piece of mind
In downtime
When nothing gets done
What’s to be won
What a crime
What do I have to lose?
The waste of time blues

Trying to find
If there’s reason or rhyme
In downtime
Productivity is a scarcity
Earn no dime

Trying to find
How to be kind
In downtime
If it’s all about me
It’s hard to see
Me, my, mine

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Has it been a long time coming
A steep road upon which you’re roaming

Does your day turn gray
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Well’s run dry
Wells up your eye

Does your way go stray
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Knowing you’ll die

Do you say “no way”
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Never knowing why

Well they say your day
Goes your way
There’s no need to cry
Give’r a try
Giver try

LYRICS
For this one, we’ll just add a D
So we can do our grand finale
It’s all coming to me
I can see
I can see clearly
I can see eternity
I can see clearly to eternity
Obviously, I can see what’s behind me
I can see clearly
Yes, hindsight gives me the insight
To see clearly
I can see
20:20
I can see
20:20 from here to eternity

LYRICS
I suggest we add a chord
And the chord I see
In my mind’s eye
Is C
When I say I see in my mind’s eye
I mean I C
G, very clever

I can see clearly
I can see
Clearly

I can see clearly
I can see eternity
Above the clouds, beyond
It’s shinning on

I can see eternity
I can see
I can see clearly
I can see

I can see clearly to eternity

LYRICS
This is a song about the g-string
If you play the banjo, you know…
Or play the guitar, and want to go far
One of the more important things
Is the g-string
A G7 will send you to heaven
A g-string
Now, that’s the thing

LYRICS
Did you throw the breaker
Is the power on?
’cause you know
The wrong throw
Can be a heartbreaker
Bringing death’s dawn
Is the power on?
They say an itch the wrong way…
They say an inch the wrong way…
Can be a shocking experience
Feeling the essence of voltage
Does away with old age
High voltage
Are you sitting on the breaker thrown/throne
Thorned crown, dust and bone

LYRICS
There’s a lot going on
Gotta keep calm
Keep the head strong
Without headstrong
Erase the wrong
Give space for light
Insight
For song
It won’t be long
Make good on the promise
To try n’ be honest
The answers will surface
And all turns out best
Suffice to say
Good news is on its way
