Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A song… that when we play
Everyone will say,
“There’s a sing along song!”

I want a song that we can all sing along
One that will make them swing and dance
I want a song that we can all sing along
When upon second glance….

I want a song… sing along
One that they’ll say,
“Hey, there’s a sing along song”
I want a song that we can all sing along
We can whistle away

(whistle)

Hey! There’s a sing along song
Hey, there’s that sing along song

You can swing and dance
While you have the chance
To have the time as a being
For the time being
For the time that you have the time as a being
For the time being

(guitar solo)

While you have the time….
As a being
For the time being
Hey! There’s that sing along song
Hey, did you hear them say, “There’s that sing along song!”

I want a song that we can all sing along
One that will make them swing and dance
I want a song that we can all sing along
When upon second glance
They say, “Hey, there’s that sing along song.”

(instrumental)

I want a song we can sing along
One we can sing all day
I want a song we can sing along
One we can whistle away

(more whistling)

LYRICS
We’re here for the Good Time
What about you? I know that I’m

We’re here for the Good Time
What about you? I know that I’m

For the time I’m here
I wanna get clear
What is good

’cause who’s to say what is good?
Come on now, everybody knows
At least they should

We could try, we could
You know we could

We’re here for the Good Time
What about you? I know that I’m

So, what do you think…?

We’re here for the Good Time
What about you? I know that I’m

Are you here for the good time?
Come on chyme in
I know that I am

Are you here for the good time?
Come on chyme in
And, say that “I’m”

LYRICS
Bamboo shoots under the fingernails
Splinters between the teeth and gums
Everything else in comparison pales
When the onset of pain comes

The pain of pain will drive you insane

Salt rubbed in an open wound
Paper cut on the retina of your eye
Everything else pales when pain is found
Hard to think about others if there’s pain in I

The pain of pain will drive you insane

ABOUT THE SONG

LYRICS
Lady Of The Wood,
Bless! May all be good

The imps, fairies and that mean ole’ troll
Are getting out-of-control

Not to mention the hue man
The human hue man

Lady Of The Wood.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Db
Db Bb Ab Gb Eb Db

There is an old myth about the Lady Of The Wood. One of the oldest religions in the United States was established by hermits in Roxborough, Philadelphia, PA. They believe God was similar to Mother Nature all called her Lady Of The Wood. When they felt it was their time to die, they would walk into the woods to be one with Her.

Much later, the concept was used as the character Galadriel in the Lord Of The Rings series.

Hue: Noun. 1) The attribute of a color by virtue of which it is discernible as red, green, etc., and which is dependent on its dominant wavelength. 2) A color or shade: “her face lost its golden hue”

Made in the USA (Ambler, Montgomery County and West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

While I was writing this song, I noticed some strange activities going on around me. There was a plain clothes detective, an old man and what appeared to be a prostitute. The police officer walked past me and around the corner. The prostitute got out of her car and into the car with the old man. After they drove off, the detective re-appeared from around the corner and drove the prostitute’s car away.

LYRICS
The angels march
Angelic parade
Start the search
End the charade

Seven trumpets herald
To call to all
Four beasts repeat, “holy, holy, holy”
No need to be afraid
The beasts are on a leash
What would you trade
For the best seat?

Angels on parade
March to a different beat

Lalalalalala

The stranglehold on the reptile
Low and behold the angels are on parade
Hooray!
All the while the reptile has surrendered today
The angels render
The reptiles surrender

LYRICS
There’s a panic in the house
The lady saw a mouse
Now, everyone’s beating a path to her door
With a better mouse trap then ever before
So, the mouse can’t get in
Every crack and cranny they’re fillin’
When you hear the lady shout,
“What are you doing?

What was I thinking
Givin’ up my liberty without blinking
Must have been sleeping
A thief-in-the-night stealing dreaming

There’s a panic in this land
Politicians don’t understand
That people fearing terror get irate
Don’t let ’em turn it into a police state

You have a mouth that’s a razor
Your words cut to the very core
You a real trail blazer
Never cease to amaze Her

Look, God! No hands
Or, maybe it’s that no one understands?

You have a tongue that’s a laser
Your words seeing what’s in store
You have the touch of a taser
Your love shocks the sinister

You have the touch of a Taser
Your ideas shock the sinister
They don’t know what’s going on… for sure

If you’re craving something really funny
Just look around you
There’s people chasing money
It’s expensive, too

Come to think of it I’ll make that bet
You know exactly where it’s at

As if it were simple as honey
Dripping with dew
It might be real funny
If they only knew

Come to think of it… who need suggest
Deep down inside you know what’s really best

Though the poles aren’t the goal
We still don’t want to meet in the middle
Through our goals we’ll fulfill
The cat and the fiddle… hey diddle diddle

Have you ever been told
You’re a little too bold
That “your initiative
Of give, give, give
Just won’t take
In this world of ours”
If so shake
Their hatred horrors

Please don’t compromise
The promise’s rise
None too soon
The cow jumps over the moon

LYRICS
Come with me on a trip to 333
A time and place where 2/3 is the other half
Join with me as virtual turns into reality
Avoid the hex of 666

Be born again with a new twist
Rising above with unclenched fist
Be born again with a new twist
Reverse the order of the first-last list

Chorus

New age begin… known as Just
Unveil paradise betwixt the mist
New age begin… known as Just
Like the stars shine and the dead from the dust

Chorus

Be born again with a new twist
Rising above with unclenched fist
Be born again with a new twist
Reverse the order of the first-last list

The twist of the age with no age
Hmm… will there be need for a sage
The twist of the age with no age
Will the shaman get the hook from the stage

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — C A
A G A G A D A
C A

1-track live stereo recordings made in the USA (West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

The song is about 666 and the mark of the beast as it relates to repeating decimals.  That is to say 2/3 written as a decimal is .666. Those that are part of the two-thirds will not be born again… thus, the mark of the beast. Those that are part of the .333 may be “the people of God — shall shine as brightly as the sun’s brilliance, and those who turn many to righteousness will glitter like stars forever.” (Daniel 12: 3-4)

However, the immortality of “forever” may eventually be seen as a curse for insisting on divine intervention (due to our destruction of the planet.) Whenever humans insist on divine intervention, there are consequences. For instance, when Eve ate the apple — “condemning the man to sustain life through hard labor and the woman to create new life through painful childbirth.”

What if the consequence the .333  pay for the actions of the .666 is immortality — never to be born again? What good will a sage or shaman be then?

There may be more here than meets the eye
Certainly more here than me and I

Setting our sights for the sky
Going to go high, high, high

Scratch the surface and see what you get
No one is useless… you can place that bet

Living like you’re never going to die
Go ahead try, try, try

Live it like you’re never going to die
Go ahead try, try, try

Way more here than me and I
If you want to touch the sky
Set your sights and set ’em high

Living like you’re never going to die
Go ahead try, try, try
