On The Seventh Day

Posted on March 23, 2015March 24, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
When you’re sick and tired… you can’t take anymore
When the thick and thin… you just can’t endure
Look above for some love

(Genesis 2:1)
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts.
Raise your voice and praise the choice to instill your freewill
Though, not in boasts… rather joy for the holy ghost

(Luke 10:30)
Persecuted and wronged for doing what’s right
Dread being stripped naked, beaten, and left half dead
Find insight in the light

(Hebrews 6:4)
Once enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift — uplift
Partake of the Holy Spirit and taste the powers of the age to come
Riches beyond your wildest dreams and then some

(Jude 1:21)
Keep yourselves in the love as you wait for the mercy
The light will shine… shine o’ so fine… you shall see
It’ll work out fine… be heavenly

(Daniel 6:27)
Delivered and rescued I see signs and wonders in heaven and on earth
Under threat of alarms and sirens, delivered Daniel from the power of the lions
Now is the hour of rebirth

Strangest Thing.mp3

LYRICS
Isn’t it just the strangest thing
When it’s snowing in Spring
And there’s no birdies to sing
(All the while the solar eclipse supermoon equinox rocks)

Isn’t it just the strangest thing
When the East Coast is freezing
And the West Coast is frying
(Expressing some sort-a bi-polar polar express)

Isn’t it just the strangest thing
When California is drying
As the Texans weather flooding
(SXSW prepares for the test)

Isn’t it just the strangest thing
When the sun is shinning
While cloudless rain ‘s a fallin’
(Enough cosmic flow to bring on a rainbow)

ABOUT THE SONG
G C D
Em

A song motivated by severe weather events including a snow storm on the first day of spring and “Emergency crews at SXSW ready to move in case of flooding.”

No Need To Panic.mp3

LYRICS
There’s probably no need to panic
Certainly someone’s gonna catch it?

They’ll switch the panic switch
Flip the switch to which?
I offer off… or?
All else is nor. (‘fur sure)

It’s probably gonna work out alright
Humans couldn’t really be the blight?

Everyone says they’re apt to adapt
Where is that secret kept at?

Supermoon Equinox Total Eclipse of the Sun.mp3

LYRICS
This band I’m in starts playing a different tune
Gonna meet you on the darkside o’ the supermoon

Supermoon equinox total eclipse of the sun
An astronomical threesome… threesum

Our solar power will be going off grid
Joking? Noooo… I don’t kid

Gotta love the natural alignment event
Inspiration… from the heavens sent

Drop your knickers a lil’ quicker! Let it bloom!
Gonna meet you on the lightside o’ the supermoon

Death Defying Acts Part 2.mp3

LYRICS
Ozone in the air we’re breathing
It’s death defying!
Alone in perceiving
These acts are death defying?

More dangerous for us
Than tightrope walking
Or chainsaw juggling

The pathogens we are drinking
It’s death defying!
Alone in perceiving
These acts are death defying?

More dangerous for us
Than sword swallowing
Or cliff diving

The temperature we’re increasing
….
More dangerous for us
Than mine sweeping
Or racecar driving

The glaciers we’re melting
….
More dangerous for us
Than base jumping
Or atomic bombing

More dangerous for us?
There’s nothing more dangerous than us

Old adAge

Old adAge.mp3

LYRICS
There goes another instance
Of being a victim of circumstance

Whoever wrote Murphy’s Law
Charge ’em with greatest crime of all time
Whoever passed Murphy’s Law
Committed the greatest crime of them all

They have made it so it won’t be long
“Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong”
They’ve created the worst baggage
Perpetuating pessimism with an old adage

Halt! Holt did put it quite simply
“Sufficient stress can hardly be
… laid on the advantages of simplicity”
Decreasing dependence on being lucky

As the Boy Scouts declared —
Be prepared! Be prepared!
’cause they really didn’t lie
When they said, “Sooner of later… you’re gonna die”
But, in the meantime I’d rather choose
To hear some more of the good news
So until that day I’ll just pray
The old adage keeps at bay… ’till a ripe old age

Now, concerning this here song
About anything that can go wrong going wrong
Murphy’s Law must be more weak than strong
When applied to itself, it too goes wrong

My Living Will

Posted on March 19, 2015March 19, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
If I am unresponsive for more than a year,
I fear… The End wont’ be near

Now, that I know what I know
Would you mind hitting replay, again?
Must’a been the first few times through
I didn’t know what I thought I knew… then

I believe I’ve lived before
I believe I might live some more
Take me in the woods and shoot me ‘tween the eyes
And, set my soul free for me

Don’t put me in a home
Or make me live alone
Just shoot me ‘tween the eyes

Betwixt between

Hopin’ my soul will live again,
So please next o’ kin
Once you realize
Shoot me ‘tween the eyes

ps. While I’m still alive and you realize
I wish to be set free
Please allow me
To set your mind at ease
Please, please put me out of my misery

If you want off to a good start
Get yourself a bright light-heart

Easy way to help the human race
Putting a smile upon your face

Don’t let your love go uncharted

Deserted Island

Posted on March 18, 2015March 19, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
What if we already are
On a deserted island
All ya can see
Is an enormous sea
Of ignoramus
Ohhh God bless
(What a mess)

Sound too bizarre
Really?
By how far
Do you understand
Will we be the sea I see?

Eventually,
Will it become of you and me
I mean… we
An inevitability
That me and you
Will be drowning, too

What if we really are
On a deserted island…

At Long Last.mp3

LYRICS
It’s awful hard not to regret
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
But, please don’t forget
When you fall on your behind
You’ll find
Better off leaving the past behind

When it breaks ’cause it can’t bend
The fracture won’t likely mend
So, leave the fractured past
For the future… at long last

Better than if they said,
“You’re dead.”

LYRICS
Can ya tell me what you’re gonna do
When mean ole Grim comes coming after you
Who’s gonna be your brother’s keeper
After you’re the harvest of ole Mr. Reaper

What will become of your soul
Once your body’s not whole

He ain’t fickle with that sharp sickle
Like the slice of knife with his deadly scythe
Brings’ an end with no mend to your precious life
The End — when the flow won’t even trickle

Pi.mp3

LYRICS
Is it just pie in the sky
Or, have we come full circle?
Getting to the end proving to be hysterical?
Concerning circles, ellipses or spheres
Have no fears!
Irrational number
Representation never ends and never settles
Count to the end and never, ever slumber

The details are full of the devils
Figurin’ makes ya mental
The number’s irrational
Ain’t coincidental
Feels supernatural

Throw on an “I scream”
For Pi à la mode
Decimal reaching into dream
Sweet geometrical mother lode

Your body of work
Such a perfect figure
You’re…
Clarity through the murk

Like a Prince turning into a symbol
π providing answers quite ample
π the answer to why

Repetitive Narrative

Posted on March 14, 2015March 19, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Just like hiccups that just won’t stop
It’s enough to send your over the top

Too trite… can’t quite
Repetitive narrative
Can’t quite… too trite
Repetitive narrative

Just like poison ivy is a bitch
Just can’t seem to scratch that itch

Oh the moan from a broken bone
Agony’s found a new home

Stuck In The Middle

Posted on March 14, 2015March 19, 2015 by admin

Originally made famous by Stealers Wheel
Written by Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan

	  D 
Well I don't know why I came here tonight 
D 
I got the feeling that something ain't right 
       G7 
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair 
D 
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs 
A 
Clowns to the left of me 
C             G             D 
Jokers to the right, here I am 

Stuck in the middle with you 


The second verse is: 

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you 
And I'm wondering what it is I should do 
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face 
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place 
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right 
Here I am, Stuck in the middle with you. 

Bridge: 

G7 
Well you started out with nothing and you're proud that you're a 
D                         
Self made man 
G7 
And your friends, they all come crawlin, slap you on the back and say 
 
D              A7 
                
Please....     Please..... 

Third Verse: 

Trying to make some sense of it all 
But I can see that it makes no sense at all 
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor 
Cause I don't think that I can take anymore 
Clowns... 

(Instrumental Verse) 
(Bridge) 
(Repeat first verse)
