LYRICS
So, this is it?
This is the ticket?
And, I paid all my good money for it?
Regret the debt you bet
Regret the debt you bet?
You may have meant no harm
When you bet the farm
Now, harm done
Remains numb
Cost of fun
Having none?

LYRICS
Tell me what?
This may smell alright to you
But, as for me… there’s a phew
I’m not suggesting it’s emitting from you
Or there’s a possibility that there’s anything you can do
But for me, there’s a phew
For me… P.U.
To sit downwind
And think what that wind’s been through
And to think where that wind might have been
A phew comes wafting through
It’s a nasty phew

LYRICS
For others, they may
For me, there’s no way
No, can’t wait for May
To have a nice day
Way past-due today
No, can’t wait for May

Finally, no clouds stray
Nice day comes our way
Yes! This is the day
Let’s have a nice day
Let’s make it today
Moods swing the right way

LYRICS
Why don’t we try that again
Convinced the thrill’s not gone
Won’t you join in the song
Feeling’s coming on strong
Is one in a million
Just and opinion?

Where do you want to begin
Why don’t we try it again
Forego diminishing returns
This ole heart still yearns
The fire inside still burns
Is one in a million
Just an opinion
With those sort of odds
Prying to the wrong gods

It’s been a long day pounding in nails
I suppose in comparison it pales
Then being nailed — crucified
They say back in the day
That’s the way
Martyrs died
Widows cried

LYRICS
Incoming! Incoming!
Pilot to bombardier
If death you fear
You better hunker down
Hunker down!
Out fox the fox
Take command of her
Whole hole
Goal: foxhole
Hunker down
Quit foolin’ round
A serious situation
To the conundrum of a different drummer
Emancipation frustration
Incoming in comer
Where there is a will
There is a way
This will will weigh

LYRICS
One toppled over backwards
The other fell to his knees
Ode to the power of our words
No , you can’t just do as you please
Oh, the cons of pronouns
The proposition of a preposition
A Book Of Proverb of verbs
…. observes….

As one becomes dumbfounded
Another is astounded
Words are mightier than swords
And in lifting spirits onward
Oh the pros of conjunctions
Or adjectives that agitate
Perplex with sentences complex

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Something tells me
We’ve been here before
Wait! Stop now
Peculiar ritual walking in a circle
Before going further any more
Better straighten out some how
Now!
No need to panic
If you think quick
About the basic facts
… just relax
’cause anxiety
Will screw you for sure
Wait! Stop now
Just relax
Don’t have a heart attack
Try saying a nursery rhyme
To bring you back into time
1, 2
1, 2, 3, 4
Mary had a little lamb
And tied it to a heater
Every time it turned around… it burned it’s little seater

LYRICS
Is time slipping by
Slipping by
By the minute
Give a hint?
Is time slipping by
Slipping bye
Bye-bye
Ask me why
Is our hour
Almost over
To discover
Our hour
Turns to day, today
By the way, our hour
From our todays
Found ways
To slip away
To days today to years
So I ask why
Is time slipping by
Slipping bye-bye
I meant
Give a hint?

bookmark_borderHow To Play

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
To refrain from going insane
It try to maintain play every day
When I was very young
I started to hum
Wasn’t too long ’til you could hum along
The period brief ’til I had teeth
This’ll be my time to whistle
Then look at me learn to tickle ivory
How about a bugle call to rally ya’ll
To come out and play a song
Or just sing along
And if by chance you can dance?
We might even foster romance
Faster foster, foster faster… enhance

The years went by and I didn’t die
So, I gave the guitar a try
Took me back to the days
When I was young
And learned how to hum
Though through the years there was grief
At least I still have my teeth
So, this’ll be the break to whistle
[whistle Andy In Mayberry Theme song]

LYRICS
If you look around
You just might find
It’s not that hard
To be kind
Open the window
Into your soul
Define humanity’s goal
Come on down
Look around
Shake the clown
Being found

If you look outside
Then above
It’s not that hard
To find love
Open the window
Into your soul
Define
Your earthly role
Come on down
Look around
Shake the clown
Being found

Done the look within
Now look out
It’s not that hard
To find out
Light escapes
The black hole
Come on down
Look around
Shake the clown
Being found

Look at me
Was blind now see
The way that things
Can be
The though in “we”
Eventually
Creates our destiny
Wills free
Freewill ’til
Eternity
