LYRICS
The gravity of the situation
Keeps me stuck to the face of the Earth
Ever since my mother gave birth
I’ve been stuck to the the Earth
Until the day I die
Gotta wonder why
The Gravity of the Situation.mp3
ABOUT THIS SONG
Why does gravity work? We don’t really know why; however, how it works is best described as “the phenomenon of gravitation is a consequence of the curvature of spacetime.”

And ya need a bridge over the pass
Just gotta pray it won’t sag
Alas, don’t let me down

LYRICS
The Delaware is running high
Thanks to the banks
For keeping us dry
While on the other side, the well runs dry
While where the well runs dry they cry,
“Is salvation hiding nearby?”
Flanks of the ranks
Make trying a try
While on the other side, Fat Cats — big, fat & wide

ABOUT THIS SONG

LYRICS
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
When you start to wine, wail n’ preach
I don’t think I can hear your freedom of speech speech
Chorus
If you’re going to talk the talk
Better make sure you can walk the walk
To get what we teach to reach
(2) To get what we seek in deep
What we seek to sink in deep
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come
When we start to find, sail n’ then some
Start to think I can see the kingdom come come

LYRICS
I am reminded of all that’s been
No matter what I’ve seen
No need to forget
If you don’t regret
So long as you don’t regret
So long
You have rekindled all that can be
Far better than time’s lean
We can all ingest
’till the age is best
Sow long
Then we’ll reap, reap, reap
‘fore the reaper

Once you can start to begin
You’ll figure out what it’s about

Spring springs
Gone are the winter doldrums
Things are happening

LYRICS
From here to there
Will the weather be fair
The path is clear
End moving ever nearer
The clouds roll loud
The rain reigns rain
Washing pride from proud
Pointing out the sane brain
Can we live
Our ability to give
Take on parade
Vulnerability we aid
ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written in Conshohocken, PA as flood warnings were realized.

LYRICS
Is your zept inept?
The Zept Department
Is apt to reconfigure it
The Zept Department
For reconfigurement
Turn it inside out
Reversible
Without a doubt
Turn it upside down
Remarkable!
Become renown
The zept leapt
A leap to the top of the heap
Time crept
A seep until asleep
Give your zept some pep
Perpetuate while they others slept
ABOUT THIS SONG
The song is about a made-up word. Zept refers to something that has been Led Zeppelin-ized, such as, a song that has been influenced by Led Zeppelin.

LYRICS
If your prayers come true
Whatcha gonna do?
If your prayers are answered
Who will be mastered
Will your freewill be cancelled?
If so, ain’t that a hazard
Your illusion shattered
Wouldn’t you rather bathe in laughter?
Do you remember laughter?
May it flow like water
Wash the slaughter from our blotter
In the long run, the truth will matter

LYRICS
I don’t know
How can that be a UFO
The object does fly
I can’t identify
… suppose that’s why
Angel’s song sung
My tongue
Can’t get out of the way
Of my words
What I’m trying to say
Upon swords
Souls fray
Angel’s song sung
Light saber
Rattle and roll
Life saver
Extol soul

LYRICS
The mad ones march on
The mad ones march along
Whistle their song
What madness will spawn
The mad ones march over
Over four leaf clover
Whistle their song
“Done me wrong!”
Seeing how they make veal
The pig lets out a squeal
Bringing home the bacon
For his kin
Forgiven of his sin
A gentle Gentile will begin
To do right over again
Created
Regurgitated
Resurrected
Reincarnated
Am I one and the same by any other name?
ABOUT THIS SONG
“In Jewish folklore, from the 8th–10th century Alphabet of Ben Sira onwards, Lilith becomes Adam’s first wife, who was created at the same time (Rosh Hashanah) and from the same earth as Adam. This contrasts with Eve, who was created from one of Adam’s ribs. The legend was greatly developed during the Middle Ages, in the tradition of Aggadic midrashim, the Zohar, and Jewish mysticism.[3] In the 13th century writings of Rabbi Isaac ben Jacob ha-Cohen, for example, Lilith left Adam after she refused to become subservient to him and then would not return to the Garden of Eden after she mated with archangel Samael.”
Some legends have Lilith mating with various demons and spawning all sorts of evil creatures. “It was there, in those caves, that Lilith spent her time having sex with lascivious demons, and she gave birth, day after day, to hundreds of demonic babies…”

LYRICS
While you age you’re on the stage
All the world
Do you think your life’s a book… chapter… page?
What’s your outlook
Peace or rage…
All the world?
Add the adapter
Who? That would be you!
If your love is whorled
May it become unfurled
Whirled over the world
All the world

LYRICS
Faster than in the middle
But not so fast we’re not able to last
Can we answer the riddle
When does the future pass to the past?
And, in between what does mean mean
The Earthling beings seem to be being
Reigned by humans… the least humane I’ve seen
My Friend,
As far as the future
Are we almost there?
I’m not sure
Are you aware?
Can we try n’ figure
If it could be found
’cause I’d like ta’ get there ’round….

LYRICS
When you can foresee
What will be
It doesn’t trouble me
When you can foresee
What will be
It doesn’t bother me
As they carry on in Sodom
Nero fiddles away
As they babble on in Babylon
Daniel sees the way:
[Daniel 2:19]…the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said:
“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are Her’s.
21 She changes times and seasons;
She deposes kings and raises up others.
She gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
22 She reveals deep and hidden things;
She knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king.”

Prince for President
With Ted Nugent on the ticket… too
Prince for President
Or would that make him King?
(Wouldn’t that be something)
President Prince on the far left
VP Nugent on the far right
In a head-to-head musical fight
The slogan that will reign their campaign:
“Put an end to political theft
… with deft!”
Out with the daft and in with the deft!
A monarchy in our destiny
