LYRICS
Running like a rabbit chased by a dog
“Lord Of The Flies” sacrificial hog

Running like a rabbit chased by a fox
Better start thinking out of the box

Gonna leave my scent in a circle
Then gonna jump make it special
From out of the box to something round
A trick of the mind. Now can’t be found

It’s time to jump. I gotta hunch
‘less I become someone’s lunch
’cause there’s nothing much to prove
Better off gettin’ on the move
So there’s no sorrow in my tomorrow

Better run like a rabbit for a bit

Storm of June 23, 2015

LYRICS
Where will the lightning strike
Which way will the wind blow
Stick your finger in the dike
Try and control the flow

In the path of where the storm goes
Why under attack? Nobody knows
Seek shelter immediately
Before you become a casualty
Before they declare you a tragedy

Will we make it through the night
Still be standing at dawn’s daylight
Will comfort overtake fright
Please tell me it’s gonna be alright

LYRICS
With eyes wide
Eyes wide and mesmerized

When you’ve realized
You’ve no place to hide

I ain’t heard nothin’ like that before
Might not ever hear is again
This is the spirit that makes folklore
For now, gonna soak it in

I ain’t seen nothin’ like this before
May never see it again
These are souls giving more
For “wow” partake in
For “wow” participating’

Jaw dropin’ droolin’
Eye poppin’ grocin’

LYRICS
Skater girl, where are you headed to
Skater girl, if I could run that fast…
You know I’d pursue

The way your hips sway surfin’ down the street
Vision explosion making life complete

Skater girl, ride the tide to the other side
Skater girl, like a cloud through a sky glide

Skater girl, ya know ya move so smooth
Skater girl, through the bone to the soul ya sooth

LYRICS
If you’re wondering what’s behind the door
Why not open it a little bit more
Don’t bother looking at me
It’s not me that holds the key

Did you look in your pocket
Check in your eye’s socket

Did you look in your hand
It’s in your hands to understand

Plain as the nose on your face
You didn’t really misplace
You’re not here just to take up space
Participate in the human race

LYRICS
When will we figure out what it is we’ve done
When will we figure out what is is we do
When will we figure out what it’s all about
When will we figure out?

In God’s name what shame
When will we figure it… figure it… figure it out
For God’s sake, why half-bake

When will we figure out what went wrong
When will we figure out where it’s gone

Will we figure out before it’s too late
Will we finger about… mental masturbate
Will we figure out or just go on in doubt
Will we figure out?

Look in the rearview mirror
Hold on to life a lil’ dearer
It goes by so fast
Seein’ the future going passed

Look in the rearview mirror
And keep an eye on the road
Multi-task mode
Avoid brain overload

As the future comes clearer
The past comes nearer

Look in the rearview mirror
Hold on to life a lil’ dearer
It goes by so fast
Seein’ the future going past

As the future comes nearer
The past come clearer

LYRICS
If what you do is pursue
Happiness and bliss, too
Then what you’ll find is the kind kind
With peace in their heart and love in mind

If what you do is poo-poo
Vinegar and piss, too
Then what you’ll find is the hard kind
With a blackened heart and hate in mind

If you talk and follow through
Deliver faith and hope, too
Then what you do for all mankind
Is heal the sick… give sight to the blind

LYRICS
After all is said and done
Looks like we’ve come undone
They think we’re choosing extinct

After all we’ve said is dumb
We’ve become the smoking gun
On the verge of the human purge

Chorus
They think we’re choosing extinct
On the verge of the human purge
When the traffic can no longer merge
We can be gone as quick as a blink

After all we did is gone
Too late to wonder what went wrong
They know we choose extinct

After all we’re dead and gone
Culmination of our swan song
The purge of the human splurge

Chorus

The study shows without any significant doubt that we are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event.

LYRICS
They say it’s not the fall that hurts
It’s really the sudden stop at the end
Time may heal all broken hearts
But a broken soul is hard to mend

So, I’m taking it all in just as long as I can
No time to wait and not too late to start
A strange trip — the free fall of man
Before the sudden stop of our heart

They say it’s in us all — the love
And the love we get is equal to the love we send
So, I’m sending in the message from above
Let’s get together before the stop at The End

LYRICS
Funny thing… once there was a king
He didn’t know a God damned thing
He’d say, “Why not bring on the onslaught?”
Then he’d say, “Why not? Yeah, why not?”

Funny thing… when the children sing
Their soul hatches then takes wing
They sing, “Why not five it all we got?”
The choir sings, “Why not? Yeah, why not?”

Funny thing… why doesn’t the king
Let go of everything and learn to sing
Finally the enlightenment he sought
Will be said, “He got. Yeah! We got!”

The clouds are looking quite threatening
Obviously a storm approaching
Wouldn’t you have to say
The signs are as plain as day

Chorus
Dorthy why aren’t you in the fallout shelter
You ain’t in Kansas… more like Helter Skelter
In a land where you land at the bottom of the slide
Taking man’s best friend along for the ride
Toto, too? Total, too

The circulation of the wind
The severity of the blowin’
Storm tracker has it pinned
Storm warning’s been growin’
Wouldn’t ya have to say it’s as plain as day
Oz, Moses

The clouds are looking quite threatening
Obvious a storm is brewing

A song inspired by global warming and extreme weather events.

We are not saying that the Earth’s temperature is just going to rise. In general, as energy is added to a system, the fluctuations in the system increase. So, we expect more storms, more droughts, more wildfires, more floods, more fluctuations of all kinds. What we are saying is that weather conditions will become more volatile due to the impact of humans. (Extreme Weather Events)
