Into The Fire.mp3

LYRICS
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire

The kettle calling the pot black
Imagine that
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
Couldn’t get much more dire
Straight up dire
A dire straight
(At any rate)

Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
Fire!

Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
The circumstances couldn’t be any more dire
Guess they call this do or die or….
When you’re going to fry
Don’t you just feel like you will die
When you’re out of the frying pan
And into the fire

It might sting a little bit
Eventually the sensation will quit
It might hurt a little bit
Then the sensation will quit
When you hit
Out of the frying pan
And into the fire
That’s it
When you hit
That’s it
That’s how you know it
When you quit

bookmark_borderInanimate Objects

LYRICS
Becoming intimate with inanimate objects
Even the Devil objects
Going to hell in a hand-basket
Yet….
Have we a redeeming quality?
Search me
More than devilish… it’s selfish

Do you care that there’s humans out there
Who said life is fair
Time for your soul to bare

Intimate to inanimate objects
Even the devil objects
Don’t you care to give
To those that live

Intimidate the flesh
Intimidate the blood
Intimidate the bone
Doesn’t mesh… flood the compassion zone
Out of fashion compassion
Time you leave it alone

LYRICS
What’s up with all this violence
Thick, unromantic, burn it to the wick, sick
Time for pathological benevolence

Hence forth and forever more
Let’s get addicted at our core
6th sense pathological benevolence

The bigger they come, the harder they fall
Wonder if they’ve a brain at all
Turnin’ mountain into molehill
No need to suffer the fool

Does any of this hatred make any sense
I’ve more of an urge to submerge in bliss
Soakin’ in pathological benevolence

Am I getting closer to the inform storm
Am I getting closer… getting warm
Forewarn an inform storm

If I could get some education
Get some schoolin’ in

LYRICS
I’ve got a riddle
I’ve got a rhyme
If you’ve got the time

How can you hide from your hide, Hyde?

How can you hide from your hide (skin)
How can you hide from your Hyde (Jekyll)

Riddle me this… give me one guess
How can you hide from inside
Outside

Is it comical when your Jekyll is Hyde
When you’re Jekyll how can you hide

I’ve got a riddle
I’ve got a rhyme
If you’ve got the time
How can you hide from you “I am”

LYRICS
Are you true blue?
Or are you some shade of gray?
What do you have to say

You should know your true colors today

All of a sudden you’ve got to be on your way

A line has been drawn in the sand
Do you understand
Are you true blue or some shade of gray
Perhaps the yellow underbelly
Blood red, really

Are you true blue?

LYRICS
Can you give me a sign
Give me a signal
Are you feeling fine
Or more an animal

A flash of light
To pierce the night
A puff… a toke
Of signal smoke

Chorus

Set off a flare
I’ll know you’re there
A real loud sound
So you’ll be found

Chorus

A sign… handmade
“Please send some aid!”
Bottle a message
Request passage

Chorus

Let out a yelp
Yell “help, help, help”
Spell S.O.S.
Save Our Souls? Yes!

LYRICS
Is that what you really wished for
Are you sure?
Better be careful
‘less God fulfill

Is that what you really wished for
Are you sure
You better be careful
In case your wish is fulfilled

Is that what you really wished for
Are you sure
You can endure
Be careful what you wish for
Better be careful what you wish for

Star light

First star I see tonight
Wish I may

Wish this wish tonight
Are you sure
That’s what you want to wish for
Are you sure you can endure what you wish for?

Is that what you really want to wish for
Are you sure
I’m not sure you can take any more
When your wish is all “me, me, me”
With all certainty
It’s not gonna turn out the way you want it to be
Is that really what you want to wish for
Are you sure

Are you sure you can endure any more of what you wish for?

LYRICS
Out of the shadows from which you loom
Get on your broom
And, ride
Ride high across the sky

The darkness
That is
All you were
All that was
Turns to blur
Out of the shadows from which you loom
Get on your broom
And, ride
Ride high across the sky

You make me itch
You witch
Eye of newt
Wart of toad
Moral/ethical overload

Prevent harms

LYRICS
I went to the edge
And, there looked over
Quick to discover
It wasn’t over

Crossed my heart
Made a pledge
Won’t allege to start
Driving the wedge

Sledge whacks the wedge
Wedge splits the grain
What does it mean
Have we all gone insane
Splinters of strength are all that remain
We’re building a bridge over consciousness’ stream

Did you know you had skin so thin
The light can shine right though you
Translucent, isn’t it?

Light feel alright
You can feel alright
Go into the light
Face the light
Embrace the light
Feelin’ alright

Skin so thin it can pass right through you
Let out
Let it in
Skin so thin

See Through Skin
See Through Skin

I think I’m gonna begin
Letting the light in
Just realized my skin is so thin
I can see right through me
The light will pass right through you, too

Translucent, isn’t it?
A special present
Heaven sent
Let the light in
Your thin skin

LYRICS
Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?

How could the chicken cross the road
If it didn’t proceed
Why would a chicken cross the road
How would we ever know

Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?

I don’t get the yoke
But that’s the way the egg rolls
I don’t get the yoke

Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
Why did the chicken cross the road
Oh, why
Did Chicken Little fear a falling sky
Which came first the chicken or the egg
What’s the price we pay? Arm or leg?

I tell ya it’s cut throat
Chances are remote
Why did the chicken cross the road
Knowledge overload
Or knowledge underlaod

bookmark_borderOnly Fear When Near

LYRICS
The End is coming
The only thing to fear is how near

The End is coming
There is no sense in running
The only thing to fear is how near

From the moment you’re born
You’re soon to learn
The only for certain
Is that I am
Marching
To some different drumming
We’re all marching
Toward the end that’s coming

Oh, my, my
We’re all gonna die
The End is coming
Only need fear how near

The only clarity
When it comes to certainty
Is the end is coming
So the only thing to fear is how near
The older you get the more it becomes clear
The only thing to fear is how near
