LYRICS
Have you ever wandered
Into the merriment
Of wonder
Did it make you wonder
Why not all the time
After all,
What is meant by meant
*Waterfall chime*
Though comes to mind
And, it’s mine
All the time
A vibrant merriment
Of wonder
No need to talk
Take her for a walk
Wander with wonder

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Livin’ with the sin within
I’m living without
Livin’ with the sin within
Hear the devil shout
Have you tried to wrestle him about
Or is your faith in doubt
Watch the angels fall
At the sinners’ ball

Livin’ with the sin within
I’m living without
Livin’ with the sin within
Hear the devil shout
Better get down on your knees all day
Pray and pray you don’t have to pray
Watch the angels fallLivin’ with the sin within

Livin’ with the sin within
I’m living without
Livin’ with the sin within
Hear the devil shout
Crucifixes, priests, fixers, and silver knives
Gasp and grasp anything to save lives
Watch the angels fall
At the sinners’ ball

LYRICS
Up in heaven
There’s a saying
There is no up
Down in Hades
There’s a saying
There is no down
We all just hang around
You’ll see…
Without gravity
You don’t stay on the ground

Is it given
That right is right
Just left with left
If’s and maybes
Are on the route
Casting of doubt
Perhaps it’s for the best
Your East meets my West

What will float your boat?

LYRICS
Got the world in my scope
World’s at the end of its rope
Under fire from down below
Need the higher with the know
Don’t you think it’s time we go?

Got the world in my sights
See the wrongs and the rights
On fire the burn is slow
Need the higher with the know
Don’t you think it’s time we go?

Got the world in the crosshair
Justify to what is fair
Reign rain let it grow
Need the higher with the know
Don’t you think it’s time we go?

LYRICS
Down on the dock
There’s no tik-tok
No watching a clock
Time just fades away
All you can take
Down on the lake
For “goodness” sake
We’ll lose track of the day
Time just fades away

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Horsing ’round on the playground
Get back up after falling down
Over time hearts grow cold
Do you want to feel old?
Maybe it’s time to put agin’ on hold
Bound for found
Breakdown unfold
Maybe it’s time to put agin’ on hold

Crack of dawn
Go to school
Can’t grow up
To be a fool
Over time hearts grow cold
Do you want to feel old?
Maybe it’s time to put agin’ on hold
Bound for found
Breakdown unfold
Maybe it’s time to put agin’ on hold

Snakes n’ snails
Puppy dog tales
Fun in the sun
Never fails
Over time hearts grow cold
Do you want to feel old?
Maybe it’s time to put agin’ on hold
Bound for found
Breakdown unfold
Maybe it’s time to put agin’ on hold

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
How far can we stretch this bizarre bazaar?
The toll to sell our soul
On par to too far
How far can we stretch this bizarre?
We’ve cleared beyond weird
Heard we passed absurd
Out-of-control? How droll
Oh, dear… there goes queer
How far?
Raised the bar
How far
Can we stretch this bizarre
I mean… how far…
From where we are
All ready? Break a record
Already broke the record
Heard passed absurd
All heady… how far?
Hard pressed
Impressed?
How far can we stretch this bizarre bazaar?

LYRICS
Working on quite content
When I’m next to you
Working on quite content
Enthusiasm won’t relent
’cause you do what it is you do
Your altruism is well spent
The way you do what it is you do
A natural fact
A lifelong pact
One heart
’till death do us part

LYRICS
Am I part of the cure
Got to wonder…
For sure
Got to wonder…
If sure
Got to wonder…

Can’t let myself seize
When I’m down on my knees
Please….
Where do I reside
Deep down inside
Will I find out
What I’m all about

LYRICS
You don’t forget what your focus is on
You forget what to focus on
The water’s boiling over
The cake is going to burn
Will I come to discover
Will I ever learn
Rock-a-bye maybe
On the tree top
When the bow breaks
The baby will drop
The cradle will rock
Those high stakes
Those high stakes of maybe

LYRICS
There’s an angel of fortune
Watching over my shoulder
Co-authors the tune
As we both grow older

Watching over me
Helping me to see
The path ahead more clearly

Helping guide me
To where to be
Closer to the heart, dearly

Looking out for me
Guarding that we’re free
Protecting fiercely

LYRICS
Aren’t you glad
You’re glad
Instead of mad?
Not wasting away
Good times
You could have had
Glad for the glad that’s had
Since a lad
Self-made, I’m
Not wasting away time
Aren’t you glad?
Glad for the glad that’s had
Maybe a tad more glad
To add to the glad tab
Aren’t you glad
Glad for the glad that’s had?

I’m done waiting
Anticipating

Move to the next

Made the move
Feel improved
Roll the dice

Move ahead… roll twice
Check your mate
Done with fate
Initiate
