Fairy Dust

Posted on April 20, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Nothing works out the way they say it would
Though better off then it could
The damsel in distress
Is really quite a mess

Chorus
Perhaps it’s best
If you pass the test
Forget the rest
Just pass the test

Nothing plays out the way they say it would
So listen not I should
The princess’ kiss
Kiss of death more than bliss

Chorus

Fairy tales turn to dust
The soul’s thrust is a must
And in The End
The love you get is the love you send

Chorus

Postpartum Depression

Posted on April 19, 2015April 19, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo do what you do
The more you change the more you’re the same
You’re going insane
You and your voodoo

Without concern
When will you learn
You don’t care about me
When do you think you’ll see
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
Do what you do

The more you change
The more you stay the same
The more you change
The more convinced I am
You’re going insane
You and your voodoo

The more your change
The more you rearrange
The more you change
The more insane
You’re insane
You went insane
You went off the tracks
You don’t know fiction from facts
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
you do what you do

The more you change
The more you rearrange
The more you change
The more insane
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
You do what you do

This is the part we talk about the change
Postpartum depression
Ya I am
I learned my lesson
The more you changed
The more you rearranged
The more you changed
The more insane
You went insane
You went crazy on me
You and your voodoo
You and your voodoo
You do what you do

Ninety Seventh Regiment.mp3

LYRICS
I ain’t in no need of a regiment
No fulfillment in discipline
I can walk a straight line at any time
The ability of agility… no religion

Chorus
97th Regiment
In honor of the dead
I thought we meant for a moment
Dead was something to dread?

During the war of rebellion
Son agin’ son to hell and back again
No will to be civil in war (at war)
Killin’s ill… that’s for sure

A monument to the dead
Made of stone not flesh and blood
Spilling wine and breaking bread
Bringing on the onslaught flood

ABOUT THE SONG

LYRICS
Wonder who’s out ridin’ on the breeze
Definitely an imagination tease
Taking in the sensation please

Chorus
Cocoon cracked
Butterfly unfurled
Sprouts sprung
Kite-wind whirled

The trees all bowing to the breeze
The buds leaving into leaves
Mother Nature’s annual release

Finally thawed from the freeze
Been too long since days like these
Come to life! The moment seize!

LYRICS
Won’t you please pass some more
Though I dunno how much I can endure
But I like it

Indulgence endurance
Is what’s on tap
Intelligence absence
Can’t fill the gap

Won’t you please pour some more…

Won’t you please have some more….

Won’t you please mind your peas (p’s)
And the cues (q’s) to mind yours too
Indulgence won’t cease
Mind your cues and peas

Ahead.mp3

LYRICS
If you go preaching about nourishment
How ’bout enlightenment for the soul?
If you go reaching for establishment
Be careful you don’t reach your goal

What’s that on the road ahead?
Surely, don’t call me Shirley
Ironically, you mistook what I said
What’s that on the road… a head?

If you go stretching and retching matters of the truth
What’s due to the devil will take it’s toll
Can’t change to Superman in a telephone booth
When archaic is obsolete and elite is null
Quenched thirst for when last is first
First is last is first is last is last is first

What’s that on the road ahead?
Surely, don’t call me Shirley
Ironically, you mistook what I said
What’s that on the road… a head?

The Same

Posted on April 14, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
One and the same thing
Is one and the same
What do you bring to the table
Is your boasting just a fable
Surely, you’re jesting…
I’d rather be toasting… the game

The matador and his sportsmanship
Just couldn’t let ’em “stick it to it”
Ku Klux Klan with their bullwhip
Just couldn’t let ’em “stick it to it”

LYRICS
You can set thee free
Free
If it was up to me
I’d set thee free
But it’s up to you
Do you know what to do?
Set thee free

If it was up to me
I would set thee free
But if you wanna come true
It’s up to you
You have got to set thee free

It’s true
It’s up to you
You know
It’s true
It’s up to you
To set thee free
Open up your cage
Shed your rage
Shed your cage

The choice is in your voice
Raise your voice and make your choice
Set thee free

Tautology.mp3

LYRICS
1 = 1 — argument won
2 = 2 — holds true for you
3 = 3 — easy for me to see
4 = 4… need any more?

The tautology of you and me
That which must be, must be
Give-up the attack on fact
Look for worth in truth

Ta-ta tautology
La-la logically

Can’t be forgot
I am, or I am not
One certainly must be
Ta-ta tautology

ABOUT THE SONG
Dm F
Bb Dm

A tautology is a statement that is necessarily true, true by definition, and true under any conditions. A tautology is a repetition of the meaning of a statement, using different words or symbols. According to Ayer, the statements of logic and mathematics are tautologies.

Sickle And Hammer

Sickle And Hammer.mp3

LYRICS
Everybody is rushing to have a revolution
Yet they’ve got no system substitution
Nobody is looking to find a solution
Instead pushing for a Russian revolution
Could be the fall of us all (x2)

For the laborers, the hammer will fall
For the peasantry, the Reaper’s sickle
When death does call
She’s none to fickle
Could be the fall of us all (x2)

Everybody is flushing their toilet
Forgetting whose downstream from their inlet
Can’t just keep streaming our crap
Onto our neighbors’ lap
Could be the fall of us all (x2)

ABOUT THE SONG
D Em G A D
C G D
C A D

A song about being careful what you wish for:

The hammer and sickle (☭) is a Communist symbol that was conceived during the Russian Revolution. At the time of creation, the hammer stood for industrial laborers and the sickle for the peasantry; combined they stood for the worker-peasant alliance for socialism and against reactionary movements and foreign intervention.

Scenes From A Dream

Posted on April 9, 2015April 9, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
From when you rise under the sunrise
’till the day’s undone under the setting sun
May all your dreams come true
While doing what it is you do

From when you go to sleep at night
’til that first ray of the new day’s light
May all your dreams come true
Dreaming the dreams that you do

In the scenes from your dreams
Do you dream in colors… ya know… colors of the rainbow?
Who gets the pot ‘o gold
How is your story told?

Record Breaking Time

Posted on April 8, 2015 by admin

Ride the time wave of high tide
Leaving the past on the crest of the present
Roll in breaking on the sure (shore) of the future

A full moon tugging at you
Gonna pull you through
Acceleration floatation
Articulation of our manifestation

Breaking your record
Recording your time
See how The Book looks
On the line that’s mine
Prophet or loss
In the striking of life’s chord

Oh, Lord, please don’t leave it to a coin toss

LYRICS
When you came into view
Wasn’t sure what to do
Lookin’ like a heartbreaker

A cute lil’ riddle
Sure plays a mean fiddle
Lookin’ like a heartbreaker

When you take your guitar stance
Wonderin’ if I stand a chance
Lookin’ like a heartbreaker

Then you sing the most amazing thing
The smile you bring… better than anything
Lookin’ like a heartbreaker

Reason To Be

Posted on April 5, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Up over head
A clear blue sky
Have you said
Your purpose… why?

A reason to be
Be one with free

Under your feet
There’s solid ground
Can your feat
Ever be found?

Buffoons to the left
Hypocrites to the right
Blatant theft
In plain sight

Our Better Days

Posted on April 5, 2015April 5, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
We’ve been straying a ways
From our better days
On a path of destruction
Evolution dysfunction
Mating with Neanderthal
Going to lead to our fall
Take on the shape
Of crawling back to the ape

And at this rate (And at this rate)
Approaching our expiration date
And at this rate (And at this rate)
Casting our destiny’s fate

We’ve been straying a ways
From our better days
On a path to damnation
Eternal dysfunction
Any orgy of imps
Resembling chimps
Squirting demons’ seaman
On the Succubus in all of us
