LYRICS
Take a look
Take a look around
Take a look
Looking up and down
Take a look
Take a look about
Take a look
Lookin’ in n’ out
Is it me, is it you
That we’re passing through
Is it me, how about you
Are we passing through glue
Now here’s what we can do
I think I’ve found a clue
The love on which we feed
Will give us godspeed
She’ll lead

LYRICS
The ice is cracking under your feet
You’d better not wait
To spread your weight
Toward the shoreline I’d retreat
You’d better not wait
Noooo… I wouldn’t hesitate

Avoiding the frozen depths
Plunging dark and deep
Embracing the length and breadth
Death at arm’s length keep
… life kept

The wind is blowing you off your feet
You’d better not wait
To drop your weight
Don’t want to fall on your seat
You’d better not wait
Nooo… I wouldn’t hesitate

The lesson: Mother Nature I can not defeat
Nor can I outwait
The human is a light weight
I’ll show respect ever time we meet
Smile, bow, with open arms greet

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
This is a time
This is a place
The time is now
The place is here
To know the now
To hear the here
The time I’m
In… the race —
Earthling
Is the thing
… an earthling thing
Please don’t ask
“Take me to your leader”
Our leader is a bottom feeder
We have no meaning
For “intelligent being”
Despite my strife
* NO Intelligent Life *

An Earthling Thing.mp3

Coincidentally, I was writing this song right before the news of Stephen Hawking’s death… the last intelligent life on Earth?

LYRICS
Sitting over here
In deep thought
About
Over there
Is it really that much different from
Over here?
(over there… can you overhear over there?)

As you’re already occupying
Over there
I suppose it would hard to share
And compare
Over there to over here over there
Anyway, I’m guessing
If I was sitting
Over there
The only big difference in my view
Would be me… sitting on you
Might cause a big tadoo?
(A big tadoo me sitting on you)
So, for now… ’till I figure out how
I’ll just think a bit and sit
Over here
Hey! I’m talking to you… did you
Overhear over here over there?

LYRICS
There’s no need to bring the
Boys home
(No need to bring the boys home)
When you’re piloting
A drone
The boys are already home

Oops! When there’s too many maybe’s
You end up dropping bombs on babies
Minimizing my strife
Winds up in loss of human life

There’s no need to bring the
Boys home
(No need to bring the boys home)
When you’re launching
Missiles
There are no more “miss ya’s”

[rave-up into jam]

The cost because of camouflage
Mired in the fog of a mirage
The depth of death’s carnage
Label us the “barnyard age”
… in the age of the boneage
(animal noises)

LYRICS
If it all falls together
All depends on whether
We call
(after all if we call after all)
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

If we all pull together
The chances of whether
Fall
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

If we all get together
Decide what’s “whether”
We’ll quell
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

If we all join together
A crier / choir of “whether”
Hall / haul
(concert hall / sound haul)
All I ask of you
Is that you do
All I ask of you
Make the call

LYRICS
I don’t know if I don’t know
If i know why… I….
I don’t know if I know why
There ‘re those who shun the truth
I know I need to try
To find a super sleuth
To tell the truth!

I don’t know if I don’t know
If i know why… I….
I don’t know if I know why
There ‘re those whose fun is cruel
I know I need to try
To deplete their fuel
A silly bully

I don’t know if I don’t know
If i know why… I….
I don’t know if I know why
There ‘re those too smart to yield
I know I need to try
To level the playing field
A smoother earth mover

LYRICS
Running the inane
Feeling the pain
Of a cold driving rain

In the face
Face-to-face
Is your point-of-view
Going to rat on you?
In the face
Face-to-face
Doe the opinion you spew
Splatter back on you

Running from sane
Embracing the pain
Of a lame membrane
(chorus)

Running in sane
Down pouring reign
Feel the pain of the cold bold insane
(chorus)

LYRICS
I’m starting to think
Heaven is on Earth
The older and wiser I become
The more I believe
This is the Kingdom
Kingdom come
Some may think the thought dumb
But, I for one
Fine a miracle in my birth
God! It’s heaven on Earth
This is the Kingdom
Kingdom come

[jam]

A habitable habitat
Where we’re freed to breed
What more could I ask for
Freed to love like never before
Can you tell me…
Who could ask for more?

[jam]

Yes, yesterdays may fade away
So I make the most of every day
Will it end? the evidence is strong
So, the in-between I mean
To bring along
Bliss in the Kingdom
Kingdom come
This is the Kingdom
Kingdom come

LYRICS
I don’t know
Either or
Said the shyster to the whore
Furthermore
I don’t know
If you’re true to what you do?

Satisfaction’s in the action
And, indeed, your word and deed

Will I concede to succeed
Requires unanimous appeal
From all of us to be a deal
Unanimous
All of us
To seal the deal
The real deal

LYRICS
We are ready
Turn up the sound
Rock unsteady
Roll the ground
Bake, shake n’ quake

Let’s play music
Let the music play
It’ll cure the sick
And, ease the social decay

We are ready
Up the volume
Don’t be stingy
“10” and then some
(chorus)

We are ready
Strap on the Strat?
As Ibanez
Says where it’s at
(chorus)

LYRICS
No matter how hard
I just can’t make that dream come true
No matter what
I give and take
Can’t make
That dream come true
And, then and there
… and, then I hear… hear here
Fortifying to lamplight
Like it’s 1692
You’ve come through
Into the flow of the glow
I know
It’s you

[I see you
There’s nothing I’ve got to do
’cause this dream is coming true
Under the lamplight into the dark of night]

LYRICS
I gotta get back
Out of the dark
I gotta get back
Needing a spark
Come on, baby, show me the light
Get me through the dark of night

It’s been so long
Since we’ve had sight
It’s been so long
In this light blight

I’ve got the urge
For a surge
I’ve got the urge
For darkness purge

LYRICS
The wind is blowin’ right in
It’d be a sin
For my warmth to be wastin’
Snuggle over cheek-to-cheek
We could have conversation
About going to strong from weak
With our energy conservation
No power for hours
With the power that’s ours
There’s heat to devour
We might write by candlelight
A song of love… my hand as your glove
The power outage
Set the stage
For romance
Our chance
To engage
