LYRICS
Come a little closer… just a little bit
I wouldn’t want to miss with a little KISS
Right between the eyes with a KISS hit
Come a little closer… just a little bit
Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS)
Do you want satin or prefer cupid?

Come a little closer… no, don’t move back
I want to give you this special KISS
Right between the eyes with a KISS whack
Come a little closer… take out the slack
Keep It Simple Stupid
Forget hatin’… feel what love did

Posted on by admin

An old, traditional folk song. The origin is unknown but is believed to have originated in England or France. The song was reworked by blues musicians from the South. The first known recording is from 1933. The song was later made famous by The Animals in the 1960’s.

LYRICS
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one

My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin’ man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he’s satisfied
Is when he’s on a drunk

Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I’m goin’ back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I’m one

LYRICS
Got my eyeballs…
And note, my ears, nose and throat
You got balls
Sit n’ gloat with membrane bloat

No, I’m not in need of another hole in my head
Are you in need of another whole in your heart?
Enough said
Let’s start

I was gonna say, “this ain’t brain surgery”
But, it sure is
I was gonna say, “this ain’t open heart surgery”
But, it sure is

Judgement day for your perjury
Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars.
Go straight to purgatory
Listen to the screams. Listen to the hollers.

Got my eyeballs…
And note, my ears, nose and throat
No, I’m not in need of another hole in my head

LYRICS
What the heck is privilege
Do you believe you can have an edge?
Smelling all hubris inside
Draped in a cape of pride
Don’t you know
The first are the first to go
The last surpass
… at last

Up to our eyeballs in sludge
Stubborn mule won’t even budge
Trying to rule — overlord
In the kingdom of absurd

Chorus

As I gain the knowledge
The classes drive a wedge
Take the poverty pledge
And, your bets hedge

LYRICS
Help! I heard you call my name
How can life ever be the same?

You brought me into this world
Might as well stay ’til I checkout
I rot as I grow old
Gotta fight to win this bout

Chorus

Sooner or later we’re all going to die
Later not sooner is how I’m going to try
The next time I see ya… I’d like to say “hi”
Beats tears and fears of saying “good-bye”

LYRICS
The smile on your face
The loving embrace
It’s heart warming
Enduring

When I began to figure it out
I was just a little sprout
Couldn’t help but to laugh and grin
If I could, I’d do it over again

Then as I started to grow
Wasn’t hard for me to get to know
Taking time to smile with you
Adversity we’d get through

Time goes by and I grow old
Hopefully when my story is told
It’ll bring a smile to your face
Remembering the time we enjoyed in this place

There’s been a natural (nature) release
Have a… won’t you… won’t you please
Have a nice day

Flourishing flora and fauna fulfill
I believe… I believe I will
Perceive… I will do it today

The sun came out
The sky turned blue
Good cheer’s about
How about you?

Happening supernatural release
Have a… won’t you please
Please have a piece/peace
Just the place I love to go
Hearts and souls overflow
The kind-of show ya wanna get to know
Reap the seeds you sow

LYRICS
I don’t want you to go
I don’t want you to stay
And, that’d be OK on any other day

No silent treatment
Nor irate rant
Fear that you can… fear that you can’t

Woke up this morning
The sun was gone
It wouldn’t be long ’til you came along
The sky goes dark
As you embark
Love charade raining on my parade

LYRICS
Try to lift my head
To see what lies ahead
Forget about being skeptical
There’s no obstacle

I heard it said
We can raise the dead
Not so magical
As it is mystical

As the edge you hone
Pull a sword from a stone
Forget the lackadaisical
You’re inspirational

Chorus

Once the Spirit’s fed
We’ll let Her lead be led
No matter how near or how far
We’ll follow to spectacular

LYRICS
Would you mind turning it up a notch, please?
Though I find it pleasant, I’m thinking it’s only a tease
See if you can give the volume a little nudge
Then, give a push on the tempo… see if she’ll budge

LYRICS
Is the same old story growing old… growing old
A new set of words needs to be told… to be told

It’s time the scribe prescribed
Subscription to a new prescription
An evolution of elevation
Time to prescribe — higher vibe

Diarrhea diary to be so bold… be so bold
A load of crap to be sold… to be sold

Journalize the times with good news… with good news
Give the people the choice and let them choose… let them choose

LYRICS
Just because I’m rather small
Doesn’t mean I can’t see at all
Letting the third-eye ascend
Rising up toward heaven

Flying high
Gonna find out why
We’re destined to die
Yet, we try, try, try

Just because I’m a tiny speck
Doesn’t mean I don’t give a heck
Gonna stand up tall
Appreciate it all… quash the squall

Chorus

Just because I might be insignificant
Doesn’t mean I won’t give every little bit
Reaching deep within
Letting the love shower begin
