LYRICS
Have you heard of the rat race
A herd in disgrace
A generation lost in space
Left in a haze
Stuck in a maze
Mesmerize with lies
Simpletons amaze
Cracked from the craze

How absurd of a pig race
Humane? Not a trace
A race losing face
Fat cat fit spat
Ain’t where it’s at
Alarm disarm
The donkey can’t see
The Ass disaster
Quick! Run faster

LYRICS
A bouncing ball when under attack
After a fall… will bounce right back

The thing with the spring
After a whack
Gonna bounce right back
On elastic string
After a smack
Gonna bounce right back
The physics of logic

A bouncing ball when you throw me down
Upside down… the turn of a frown

Chorus

If things are looking queerer
It’s ’cause I’m holding a mirror

All the things you spew
Coming back at you
All the things you do
Reflect on you… reflecting onto you
The physics of logic

Genetically modified in a womb
Organism from more than one
From birth on Earth until the tomb

Did you know you’d never grow
If it weren’t for GMO?

You’re a scientist with the Mother/Father

Rock ‘n’ Roll stars
Shame it couldn’t last
Rock ‘n’ Roll stars
Relegated to the past

So you wanna be a Rock ‘n’ Roll star
Grab your guitar… come as you are
With a passion to play all day
We’ll redefine how the stars shine

Better fadin’way
Than to burnin’ out today
Stars of modern day
Glowing light years away

Make ’em dance
And make ’em sing
Tak a chance
See what music will bring

LYRICS
Out of the web in my cob
With a wink and a nod
For which I yearn to learn
I learn…
I can see… it’s already a memory

Clearing the webs from my cob

Clearing the webs from my cob
With a wink and a nod
For all which I yearn to learn
I can see clearly
It’s already a memory

I can see…
Was already a memory

From within
I begin
To see
Quite clearly

Clearing the webs from my cob
With a wink and a nod
All for which I yearn to learn
I discern
I can see clearly
Already a memory

… already memory

We’re changing the forecast
This overcast can’t last
The drizzle will fizzle
’till the sun shines fine

It can’t stay gray
All through the day… no way
We’re in need of daylight
Before the fall of night

Dream of a golden ray
Shinning this way… it may
Our dreams can come true
It’s all up to me… and you

Fall off the horse… get back on and ride
It’s our will that’ll turn the tide

It’s been a long, long time
Since I laid my eyes upon her
Wonder if she’ll ponder
“Can I make him mine?”

Chorus
Back when going steady was all the craze
ID bracelets… then class rings… what’s the next phase
“Love Hurts” and Heart on the radio plays
[Barracuda guitar riff]
Baby, those were the days

It’s been a long, long while
Since graced with your smile
Still gal with lady style
The more the change, the more the same… no denial

You’re lookin’ oh so fine
Sure aged well in time
Beggin’ for a sign
Will you please be mine?

LYRICS
Heard people say you can never go home again
But when I get there they say, “Where’ve ya been?”
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

No surprise when ya look in their eyes
A familiar face… you realize
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

There’s nothing like finding a long lost friend
Except for finding a long lost friend
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

Sorry to say some have passed away
But it’s OK… we’ll meet again some day
Burning bridges mend
Comin’ round the bend
Finding a long lost friend

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords

C G G7 C
E Am

Written and recorded in Clearfield, Pennsylvania.

A live 1-track stereo recording made on a park bench in downtown Clearfield.

Chinklacamoose, spelled many ways, was an old Native American village located at what is now Clearfield, Pennsylvania. The village existed from the early 1st century up until around the mid to late 17th century. The village was about halfway along the Great Shamokin Path, which started at the old Indian village of Shamokin (present day Sunbury), along the West Branch of the Susquehanna River west to its ending point at the village of Kittanning.

Chinklacamoose kept its name up until 1804, when it became the first township for Clearfield County. Only three years later, the township began to split up into smaller townships, like Beccaria, Bradford, Lawrence and Pike by 1813, when Chinklacamoose Township no longer existed and the name was lost to history.

No sign of signs

Left me sitting here in the dark
Maybe it’s time for a little spark

When you get a chance, you’ll send it my way
Then when you pray you forget to say
“Lord, how may I serve you?”
Consider it
