progressive rock – Page 129 – ExperiMental Music

LYRICS
If you don’t always get what you paid for
Can’t always blame it… on the neighbor next door
If you don’t always get what you paid for
Take a look in your mirror

Turn to sage
And prosper
Turn the page
And foster
Open the cage
And soar….

If you don’t always get what you paid for
Did it ever occur
If you don’t always get what you paid for
That you need to ensure

(The irony
It’s your society)

The Night.mp3

LYRICS
As the dark gives cover
We slip into the night
It ain’t over ’till it’s over
Gotta try with all our might

Close your eyes
And your lids light up
The prize
A loving cup

Your lids like a movie screen
Give light to your dream
On your lids is the scene
Enough to make you cream

Don’t be afraid of the dark
Use your mind to strike a spark
You know you’re never alone
Once the force is known

As The World Turns

As The World Turns Part 3.mp3

LYRICS
Is the sun setting
Or is it just rising somewhere else?
Am I just forgetting
Their heavens our hells

At least not regretting
The raising of my self-wealth
Less I be forgetting
Ringing of God’s bells

Then the sun comes ’round agin’
And I start forgetting
The darkness and bloodletting
Light washing away yesterday’s loss with today’s win
Light washing away yesterday’s loss
It’s not just left to a coin toss
Light washing away yesterday’s loss with today’s win

While The Prey Pray

Posted on November 25, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Who, who
The owl is on the prowl
The raptor hopes to capture
Praying for prey while the prey pray
That it goes the other way
Who, who? Is it me you see?

The nocturnal birds of prey
Say
Natural in the night
Take flight

(Howling….)
Hear the wolf howl
What do you think is in his future
For sure to ensure said future
Praying for prey while the prey pray
That it goes the other way
How’ll we live in harmony

Nocturnal mammals of prey
Say
Natural in the night
Make me his dinner, he might
Tonight he might

The True Blues

Posted on November 24, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
You might really believe it’s true
But it can’t just be true for you
From an opinionated point-of-view
What’s true for you is true for me
And it’s plain to see
True for everybody

What’s true is true
Ain’t no debating that
What’s true for me is true for you
Exact

See truly
Eyes free
Mind free
Heart free
Know truly
Gooooo….

De-cocoon

Posted on November 24, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
When we do whatever we do
May we get through and through

Butterfly,
It’s time to bust free
From the cocoon
Really
And, none too soon
Please try,
Butterfly

When you see the blue sky
You will want to fly
When you feel the warmth of the sun
Appreciation will have begun

Circus Us

Recording the Album "The Oh Zone Layer" — Recording the Album “The Oh Zone Layer”

LYRICS

Do you consider this like us
A three ring circus?
Dog on horseback
No ordinary hack
Look around
There’s a clown
Geeze
Check out the flying trapeze
Such a ruckus amongst us
Do you consider this like us
A three ring circus?

Never at a loss for candy floss
Do you love the glitz and gloss
Always plenty to see
From man to his primate mate
The chimpanzee
Shot him from a cannon
We can’t wait to see his fate
Then, do it again
Impossible feat? There’s none.

Get Through It

Posted on November 23, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
We could never get around it
Can’t go under it
No we can’t go beneath
And, neither
Can we fly over… get over
I guess we’ll just have to get through
Get through it

I guess we’ll just have to get through
Get through it

Like a plow
We could plow
Anyhow
But I’d rather glide
Slide
Slip right through
Without much to-do
Try to be that object in motion
I have the notion
We could be the object in motion

Not unlike the Atlantic ocean
If it would just freeze
I could glide right over it with ease

A little breeze
Even a sneeze
Will put the object in motion
I have the notion
It’s likely to stay
That way

Don’t let the prepositions prevent
Instead, the preposition solution
