Going To Pennsylvania

Posted on November 17, 2014November 19, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Just keep telling yourself it’s not as hard as it seems
We can wake up and share (in) the dreams

The sun is rising high in the sky
Before the date gets too late
Open our eyes to realize

We won the prize
Open our eyes
We won the prize
Realize

Just keep telling the world what it is life really means
It’s much more than just kings and queens

Take it in a loving embrace
Leave no scars. Leave no trace.
Open our eyes to realize

We won the prize
Open our eyes
We won the prize
Realize

May humanity prosper in the human race

Breakdown

Posted on August 12, 2014August 13, 2014 by admin

Breakdown
Written by Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson
Made famous by The Alan Parsons Project

A                               G
I break down, in the middle and lose my thread,
F                                   A
no one can understand a word that I say
                                     G
When I break down, just a little and lose my head,
F                                     A
nothing I try to do can work the same way

Dm
Any time it happens, I get over it,
C                              A
with a little help from all my friends
Dm 
Anybody else could see what's wrong with me,
C                              A
but they walk away and just pretend
             G
When I break down

A G A  2x

A                               G
I break down, in the middle and lose my thread,
F                                   A
no one can understand a word that I say
                                     G
When I break down, just a little and lose my head,
F                                     A
nothing I try to do can work the same way

Dm
Where are all the friends who used to talk to me,
C                              A
all they ever told me was good news
Dm
People that I've never seen are kind to me,
C                       A
is it any wonder I'm confused?
             G
When I break down, when I break down

Am
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey
G                 Am
Freedom, freedom, take the wall away
Take the wall away
Am
Freedom, freedom, we will not obey
G                 Am
Freedom, freedom, take the wall away

Where are all my friends?

I'm so confused

Take the wall away

Take the wall away

Won't somebody help me?

Twisted Tricks

Posted on May 28, 2014May 29, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
In the thick of their twisted tricks
Perplexed reflex
Betwixt a rock and a hard place
We place the human race

Betwixt a rock and a hard place
With an itch ta make ya twitch
You’re not alone
If it hits ya in the funny-bone

They believe they’ve read:
A famous actor is dead
The President to step down
Or, anything about a mad clown

Chorus

Makes ya dread what you’ve read…
Oh, no! There’s no such thing as a good GMO
The Earth and Killer Asteroid to collide
Big Business causes my personal messes
And, anything they share on Obamacare

Beware!
It’s a shame. Though lame, you can’t believe hardly anything you read from this breed.

Something Anything

Posted on May 25, 2014May 25, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Could this be the beginning of something
Anything at all
Is it the start of the middle
Or the beginning of the end

… beginning of the end

I know from the day I was born
I was something
Now, I don’t that I’ll forever endure
I hoping when I get to the beginning of the end
I head backward
And start again

At absolute zero
Did you know
There are those
That think we might rewind

Is this the start of something
I’d love to make the most of everything
All my time
No waste of rhyme

Is this the start of the middle
Or the beginning of the end
(The age-old riddle…)
What message will we send

Spacewalk

Posted on May 13, 2014May 13, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Could ya
Would ya
Could you help me suit-up
For a spacewalk

How about you?
Would you like to come, too…
On a spacewalk

It’s hard to talk on a spacewalk
‘ cause words don’t travel through space
If you want to take a walk
And disregard the talk

Get on a suit
Then it’s a matter of whether the tether
Will you make sure it’s on really tight
But not so tight that there’s not enough slack to get back

If you can do be the favor
Of our hour favor

And the tether has enough slack to get back
But get far enough out… farout

And ya need a bridge over the pass
Just gotta pray it won’t sag
Alas, don’t let me down

Like velocity multiplied times mass
Just gotta pray it won’t fall

Prince For President

Posted on April 26, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Prince for President
With Ted Nugent on the ticket… too
Prince for President
Or would that make him King?
(Wouldn’t that be something)

President Prince on the far left
VP Nugent on the far right
In a head-to-head musical fight
The slogan that will reign their campaign:
“Put an end to political theft
… with deft!”

Out with the daft and in with the deft!

A monarchy in our destiny

LYRICS
We need a “look out” look out

Do you know
What will it take to soften the blow
Can you show
How to fulfill the missing link?

It’s not as hard as you think!
It’s not as hard as you think!

Do you know
Which direction we should go
Does time flow
As though… life is just… must just be a blink

It’s not as hard as you think!
It’s not as hard as you think!

When we learn to look deep within
We’ll begin
Looking out
Look out!

LYRICS
Please
Wrap your arms around me
And, give me a lil’ squeeze
So I realize upon release
The loves around to see

Seize
Every moment
As if they’re all keys
To open the doors of happiness
Full of love and nothing less

Chorus
The more I get to know
The better the show
Such a delight
May it last all night

Lookie there
Smells in the air
Wafting through the breeze
And, I realize if I open my eyes
The loves around to see

Our bodies are love’s home
I feel it deep inside
Pounding of the heart
Start
Feeling it in the bone

Chorus

Repeat 1

The more I get to know
The better the show
Such a delight
May it last all night
Such a delight
To gain insight

The Pursuit Of Happiness.mp3

LYRICS
Could it be that all my life
I’ve been waiting for you?
What was I thinking… a wife?
If I only knew I had you to purse

But, I digress….

The pursuit of happiness
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

Enough suspense….

It’s my declaration of independence
The wondrous pursuit of happiness

Unalienable right, right?

What’s the story
Sounds contradictory…
To fight for peace
But, I gotta have a piece

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
