LYRICS
3 crosses up on Calvary
Yet only 1 comes to memory?
All 3 going to meet their maker
The life giver… the life taker
Easy come
Easy go
All in sum/some
Ego

Poet, philosopher, and priest
All will die to say the least
All 3 going to meet their maker
The life giver… the life taker
Easy come
Easy go
All in sum/some
Ego

When the ship is going down
Doesn’t matter which deck you’re on
We all go to meet our maker
The life giver… the life taker
Easy come
Easy go
All in sum/some
Ego

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Vine wrapped herself
Around the tree
Climbing to see
What she can be
… naturally…
Into the light

Bird wrapped herself
Around the wind
Climbing to see
Where she’s been
… naturally…
Into the light

Angel climbed
Atop a cloud
So that she
Could sing out loud
… naturally…
Into the light

LYRICS
When I’m gone
Will you remember me
For how long
I guess we’ll see
Bet you don’t
Think you will?
If you do
How long till?
If you do
How long till
That you won’t
Remember still
Up to you
Think you will?
Hope you do
Until till

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
That ole ball and chain
Long as it remains
Going to weigh you down
That ole ball and chain
Causing grief and pain
Creates a terminal frown
They say there’s nothing that you can’t
With a lubricant
Do you have it in you
to slip on through
… slip on through

That ole ball and chain
Long as it remains
Going to weigh you down
That ole ball and chain
Hourglass… grain by grain
World stopped turning ’round
With a lubricant
Do you have it in you
to slip on through
… slip on through

That ole ball and chain
Long as it remains
Going to weigh you down
That ole ball and chain
Put ‘er on the last train
And upside down the frown
They say there’s nothing that you can’t
With a lubricant
Do you have it in you
to slip on through
… slip on through

bookmark_borderBecause of You

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
At any rate
Changed fate
And it’s all because of you
No debate
Changed fate
The way you came
To save the day
They say your name
Paved the way

At any rate
Changed fate
And it’s all because of you
No debate
Changed fate
The day you came
To show the way
Wild became tame
The hunter, prey

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s a quarter till four
Heading out the door
Grab a guitar
And get down to the moor

Philosopher
Spirit, nature
Thoughts travel far
In the notes by the reservoir

A mental tight rope
With no safety net
A mindscape in scope
In a dimension yet met

bookmark_borderThe Most

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
For sure to shore
From coast to coast
You people have the most
In a haste for waste
The hosts have lost their taste
Accumulation
Of finite resources
Exploitation
Of origin’s sources

Up to sky high
Down ‘n the valley
From see to shining sea
The hosts have lost their taste
Accumulation
Of finite resources
Exploitation
Of origin’s sources

bookmark_borderToo Many Bones

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can you ever have too many bones
Without worries, pisses, and moans
When you reach a certain age
Do possessions turn to baggage?
Found a bone
Now bury it
Certain zone
To dig a pit
Lost a bone
Now search for it
Move some stone
To dig a bit

Can you ever have too many bones
Without it destroying your home
The constant pressure and stress
Leaves you feeling a mess
Found a bone
Now bury it
Certain zone
To dig a pit
Lost a bone
Now search for it
Move some stone
To dig a bit

LYRICS
… of the human race
Why so long in the face?
On the dream chase
You’re not off base

… oh my human race
Not a race to disgrace
On the dream chase
You’re not off base

… so, our human race
Could and should make our case
On the dream chase
We’re not off base

… to our human race
We have to the best place
On the dream chase
We’re not off base

Lighten your load
Souls explode
Taken a stroll down sunset road
Ain’t time to begin

Take a stroll down sunrise road
Time to begin
An axis spin
I’m going to keep on movin’

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Quite an abrupt stop
Fall from the top
If you don’t catch a draft
And make it aloft
Your life raft
To a landing oh so soft
Crack a smile
Goes the mile
Create a draft
Make ’em laugh
Humor’s human’s
Secret weapon
… sure does help cure

Strong and steady climb
to the top of your mind
One foot, then another
If you slip, recover
For sure, humor can cure
It’s in our nature
Crack a smile
Goes the mile
Create a draft
Make ’em laugh
Humor’s human’s
Secret weapon
… sure does help cure

LYRICS
From behind a cloud
The sun turned loud
Sunshine time

After the darkest night
Starting to see the light

Passing of wind and rain
Just blue sky remains

Rising high into the sky
Lifting spirits forever high
Sunshine time

On second thought
Why not
Give ‘er another shot
Guess I’ll choose

Now bring it on home
Bring it on home tonight

I see the light!
Much to my delight

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
With all the kinks
It makes you think
How bizarre
We got this far
Over time
The hate and crime
How bizarre
We got this far
Can’t be selfish all alone
We all live in the same home

Push and shove
No room for love
Hard to say
How we got to today
All I see
Is me, me, me
Hard to say
How we got to today
Can’t be selfish all alone
We all live in the same home

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
That last nor’easter
Sure kicked us in the keister
Thunder and lightning striking
Hair raising… frightening
Storm chasing days are over
Now, I’m running for cover

Did you see that funnel cloud
Roaring out loud
Thunder and lightning striking
Hair raising… frightening
Storm chasing days are over
Now, I’m running for cover

Whipping winds, driving rains
Hope they find my remains
Thunder and lightning striking
Hair raising… frightening
Storm chasing days are over
Now, they did discover
Figured out my whereabouts
A brain storm
Brainstorm
Out of the norm
