bookmark_borderStardust Or Bust

LYRICS
Keep going ’round ’til it’s found
I’ve stopped
Though not on top
I’ll still be spinning 6′ down
(In the ground)
You bet
A slightly shorter
Trip
But the orbit
Hasn’t changed a bit
The daily trip
Shorter a bit
The annual orbit
Same ole’ habit
Going ’round
Just 6′ down
So when I die
If you’d try
When I die…
If you might
A satellite
Would be out-of-sight
Stardust to stardust
(Or BUST!)

LYRICS
So, this is what we’re waiting for
This moment and not a moment more
Are you really, really
Are you really, really
Sure?

And the sky’s a lovely hue of blue
With the sun reflecting the light that’s you (all of you)
All is clear the here is now
All is here it’s clear it’s now

Anticipate it’s well worth the wait
A vacuum in space void of hate
Are you really, really
Are you really, ready
Participate

An excursion in immersion flow in’
Fill with still yet know in’ move in’
Are you really, really
Are you really, ready
To join in’

Seein’ from see to shining see

Being from be to shining being

LYRICS
It’s sounding very serious
Are you slightest bit curious
’cause it’s sounding very, very, very serious
Are you nervous
For us?

What’s the purpose
Of all this fuss
What’s the purpose
For all of us

Cause distress
Implied chaos

Disastrous
God, save us!

So serious
Are you curious
Are you nervous
For us?

LYRICS
All that runnin’ round
Gonna let it get you down?
Pouting lips resound
Perpetuating frown
Turn around

Take it from an old man
Better smile while you can
Sooner of later our days will end
It’s all a matter of what we do ’til then

Don’t let runnin’ round get you down
Give your mouth’s corners a lift
Turning the frown upside down
As you give you receive the gift
Giving corners the lift

Hello is anybody in here
Hello is anybody out there
Hello is anybody here

Hello is anybody near

At the end of the tunnel

At the end of the tunnel
Is it the beginning of the light
Is the end the beginning… is that right
Have I got that right
Beginning of the light

bookmark_borderGood As Gold

LYRICS
You’re good as gold
Or so I’m told
When your life’s goal
Is growin’ old

When going down the road
If you lighten your load
The toll of the total
Is less brutal
As a matter of fact
You can’t get it back
And, there’s really nothing that you lack

When you reach your golden years
Are you past your friggin’ fears
Are you able to forget
Skeletons in your closet
Are there no more tears
Not a regret
Is your last chapter…
Happily ever-after

LYRICS
If our paths don’t cross
Is there any loss
Or just as well?
Do tell… pray tell

Maybe you can find your happy place
Far, far, far-out in space
Maybe there’s enough room
To harbor your gloom?

If you go your own way
Maybe that’s O.K.
Another day
Together play

Take your marbles and go home
Face your problems all alone
When your back in the zone
Feel free to pick up the phone

LYRICS
Feed me some line
And, let me swim
Ready to be free
Again
(Let me swim)
Look,
Let me off this hook
I want to be “really” free
So, please help me
Won’t you please help me?

For the next stage
Enlarge the cage
Oh, believe me
Ready to be free
A whole new page
Out of this cage
I want to be “really” free
So, please help me

Where is the sign
“Free All The Time”
Wish I had known
I could have grown
Free all the time
It’s a state of mind
To thyself as to others… be kind
As others to you, too… be kind

Are you a fairy princess?
Then, this “this”

Then, this is our bliss
Thus, this bliss is for us

LYRICS
When doing your best
Is put to the test
Time to put baby to rest
Prime time
Yes — baby to rest
They say
Don’t ever wake a sleeping baby
No — not maybe

But, I digress
Let’s do our best
To get out of this mess
Get it off our chest
Puttin’ baby to rest
Put the baby to rest

What the hey
We’re on our way
Throw the dice
Move on advice
Will you pass go
I don’t know
Sure hope so

They’re at it again
Returned to begin
The End

Playin’ the game
Won’t be the same
Satisfaction
In competition
Get past the start
Next square… depart
With all your heart

They’re at it again
Returned to begin
The End

Merry Christmas
Let’s grant your wish

To your fellow man?

Would you like to join the band

Get up in arms

We can all bear peace
May music sooth our souls
Before the bell tolls

LYRICS
Does your wealth
Cause foot in mouth
Mental health
Heading south
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Does your fame
Cause misfortune
Brain gone lame
Heart out of tune
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Poison lace
Poison pill
Fall from grace
Your worst ill?
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Quite a task
For you to ask
Forgiveness
At a time like this
First confess
Then, comes bliss
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

I have no idea
What’s going on
Is it #1
or just for fun…
Is it #2
I’m asking you
’cause I’ve got no clue

Ave Maria
No idea
What’s going on
Crack of dawn
Dawned on me
Wish I could see
What’s going on?!?!?!

I have no idea
What’s you’re doin’
Am I up front
Or your back door man?
Day of the month
No, needn’t fear
Reinforcements from the rear!
