bookmark_borderCan’t Keep A Good Man Down

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Took a look around
Guess what I found
You can’t keep a good man down
Knocked around
Gagged and bound
But, you can’t keep a good man down
No matter how hard you try
He just won’t die
No, you can’t keep a good man down

Opened my eyes
Awoke! Surprise!
You can’t keep a good man down
Time I start
n’ open my heart
Give the man a hand
’cause you can’t keep a good man down
No matter how hard you try
He just won’t die
No, you can’t keep a good man down

Said, “Lend me an ear.”
What did I hear?
“You can’t keep a good man down”
We’ve nothing to fear
As long as you’re here
We’ve nothing to fear
As long as you hear
You can’t keep a good man down
No matter how hard you try
He just won’t die
No, you can’t keep a good man down

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Go out on a limb
Live a simple whim
When the bow breaks
Do whatever it takes
Yearn to learn to fly
No better time to try
Found your wings… bye-bye

Peer over the edge
Long walk, short pier
Once over the ledge
Hold on to your life, Dear
Yearn to learn to fly
No better time to try
Found your wings… bye-bye

If Man is going to do to you
Whatever Man can
Buffalo over a cliff
Until you’re dead and stiff
Buffalo over a cliff
Until board-like — stiff
Yearn to learn to fly
No better time to try
Found your wings… bye-bye

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Will the wolf pack
Have a heart attack
when they have to come clean
’bout being obscene
Want my money back
’cause your service lacks
Official my ass
You’ve got no class
An upheaval
It’s the principle
Of the matter
That matters
A surprising uprising

When you lay down with sleaze
Are you going to get fleas
Leave ’em the keys
And monkey flees
What are you going to do
Animals running the zoo
Watch your step
Poo up to your hip

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you still the same
Or going more insane
Membrane getting lame
Growing more insane
Take a step back
Catch the breath you lack
Prey for the day
Capture the allure
Be the cure
Rest assure

Are you growing old
A story never told
Has your heart grown cold
As you sold your soul

While I still can breath
Going to believe
There is no better way
Than living for today

LYRICS
One in a long, long time
Once in a blue moon
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?
Once in a “upon a time”
Once in a cartoon
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?
Once in a century’s crime
Once the cow jumps the moon
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?
Once in a lifetime
“Once” begins to loom
I’m falling into some childhood nursery rhyme
Coming again so soon?

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Storm clouds blowing
A cold wind chills
Best start running
Head for the hills
Thunder rolling
A storm cloud spills
Best be running
Head for the hills

The land starts to slide
Grand landslide
The rocks start to roll
Where’s my hole/whole
God will tan my hide
No place left to hide
Heads are going to roll
Where’s my hole/whole

Hard rain’s falling
Up the spine chills
Best start running
Head for the hills
She’s outgunning
A look that kills
Best be running
Head for the hills

LYRICS
What is this monstrosity
We’ve made out of me?
Because this is not my destiny
(No, this ain’t my destiny)
Surely
Moving up
To a higher vibration
Moving up
To a higher elevation
Gonna shed this monkey suit
It’s time I “do it”
Time to wring
The monstrosity out of me
Take wing
From your destiny
Is see
It’s time to be me

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Where does it hurt
Will a kiss make it feel better
Return you to a real go-getter
Off my back, take my shirt
Pick you up from the dirt
I think I see a break in the clouds
Prepare yourself for out loud crowds

It’s getting better
Soon you’ll be feeling like you should
Move up to great from fair-to-good
They say your time is going to come
Just can’t wait ’til their time is done
I think I see a break in the clouds
Prepare yourself for out loud crowds

Your time has come
All of the waiting is over
It’s a new chance to discover
Actualize the apple of your eyes
Get a load of your surprise
I think I see a break in the clouds
Prepare yourself for out loud crowds

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down
As the down-and-out
Get driven out-of-town
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down
If there’s any doubt
Just look around
[jam]

Will they all find out
They’ve become the clown
The more they scream and shout
The more they pout and frown
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down

Did the id get full of clout
Turning verb to noun
Soon the last will be en route
… first to wear the crown
Turning the inside-out
Turning the upside-down

LYRICS
The bridge is burning
The bridge is burning
The bridge is burning
Behind you
Whatcha gonna do?
Burning bridges behind you
Behind… feel like an ass?
Then, you said,
“Burn the bridge ahead!”
Watch gonna do
Your ass is on fire
Then, your desire
“Flame what’s ahead,”
You said.
What a shame…
Flame
Burning bridges
Now, where are you going to go
Do you know
Nowhere to run
Your road is done

bookmark_borderA Moral

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If you try and try again
Fall and fail and try again
It really is not a sin
To end up where you begin
With murder and rape
There’s no debate
The hangman’s drawin’ near
If I have my druthers
“Help others!”
Music to my ears
Maybe its not too late
To appreciate
A more moral all

The deal with your glory
It’s hell in overkill
The moral of the story
Don’t steal God’s goodwill

bookmark_borderBy Christmas Eve

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Setting sail for a distant shore
One I’ve never been to before
Don’t know if I’ll make it for sure
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

Waiting for the four winds to blow
Which direction I don’t know
All I know is I’ve got to go
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

This isn’t the same sad ‘ole song
I can’t wait to be moving along
Set my sight for right left wrong
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

If days and nights should turn to years
Please alleviate your fears
Love can be dear no matter how near
If you don’t hear from me by Christmas Eve
Don’t even bother to worry about me
’cause I’m going long gone

(Lord, relieve me!)
