LYRICS
Well, well, well
What have we hear?
Something sounds
A little queer
If the / y(our) contra-beat
Is contradictory
To the / y(our) story
I’m sorry
Turning glory
Into defeat
Rise up! Raise! Praise!
Real-eyes! Praise the / y(our) glory
Made in the image of…
Made in the image of…
Love

LYRICS
Back in the day
You could get your jolly
(Riding) on the trolley
Now they say
It doesn’t go this way
Tracks in disarray
Leaving the traveler in dismay
Ohhh… man’s folly
Off the tracks?
Better check your facts
None-the less… trackless
Never-the-less… trackless

Back in the day
You could gain some sane
(Riding) on the train
Now they say
It doesn’t go this way
Tracks in disarray
Leaving the traveler in dismay
Ohhh… man’s insane
Off the tracks?
Better check your facts
None-the less… trackless
Never-the-less… trackless

Ohhh… man’s folly
Did away with the trolley
Ohhh… man’s insane
Ain’t no riding the train

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If it’s too far to go
Well, I just don’t know
’cause if you stay here
I won’t be near
I’ve got to go the extra mile
Whistling all the while
Then, it’s never too far
From being where you are

No matter the distance
Try to keep that smile
Won’t be sitting on the fence
Or shadow of the sundial
If it’s getting hard to hear
What I have to say
’cause you’re getting farther from here…
… as here is on our way

LYRICS
Then this revelation
Came crashing in
Like a tree
Through your roof
Or to your face
A hoof
Realization of the revelation
Came easy
Even if I felt
A little queasy
This revelation came crashing in
Like police
Through the door
Evidence… you need more?
In fact, Godsmacked
I see the light
Alright

Busting out
Summertime rhyme
Finding out
’bout sweat and grime
Ohhhh it’s time

Through the heat of day
It’s alright
IF it’s cool tonight
Feels just right
For music’s insight

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Wondering if it’s a given
All dogs go to heaven
Wondering what they’ll be sniffin’
Heard it smells in hell
But for heaven as well?
If you know the aroma, do tell

And their God you can not see
Her scent is a mystery
No sound for the ear to hear
Her scent escapes me
Certainly can’t touch much
Her scent is odor free
And your taste goes to waste
Her scent is a mystery

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about the dogma of dogma… does your god “exist”?

LYRICS
Is your world
Half empty
Is your world
Half full
Is your heart
Half empty
Is your heart
Half full
Mine’s got room to fulfill
Help me make it spill

Is your glass
Half empty
Is your glass
Half full
Optimistically
The optimist in me
I’ve got the view
The view is in you

Is your heart
Half empty
Is your heart
Half full
Fill the heart completely
Fill the heart until…
Mine’s got room to fulfill
Help me make it spill

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What do you mean “we don’t have much time”?
The last thing she said to me is
“We don’t have much time”
When it comes to getting the message out
Don’t know how loud I can shout!
Wipe the grime from my voice
“We don’t have much time!”
But we’ve got choice
Adapt or be inept
In an adapt
In and adapt
Fast track
Be adapted to embedded?
Don’t let me… down
Don’t let me 6 feet down
You got me
Stymied
Stymie me’d

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
First
You bite the hand that feeds you
Then
You wonder wonder why
Next
In spite
The nose on your face
You cut and pry
Oh why
Hysteria over mania?
Depression: Die
Oh why
Diarrhea of the speech
For hate reach
Third
Still more absurd
You spew
You do
You spew
The word
Never to be heard

LYRICS
I forgot what I was going to say
Think it had something to do with today?

Trying to say
In a simple way
Tip of the tongue
Then, gone away

No regret if nothing’s said
Take it to the grave… subject dead
Wait! Don’t let me hesitate
’cause I hate “too late”
Dang! Forgot again
What a sin

Like I was going to say
Before it got away…
… I’m trying to say…
Parapraxis is

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Is it a matter of splatter
If the mass of ass
Is fatter?
Um
Momentum
I see velocity
Is not parity
When you factor in
My mass
Be it fact of fiction
God! More friction
I’m sliding into you
Are you sliding into me, too
Um, momentum
Got me some
Be it less rare
If I offer to share?
Do you care form some

… the language of baggage

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about momentum.
