LYRICS
What’s in a name
Is it one and the same
Don’t ask me
They call me therapy
If I could
I’d make you feel good
You know I would
Help the misunderstood

What’s in a name
Is it one and the same
Don’t ask me
They call me therapy
Whenever I can
I’m man’s best friend
I’ll be your fan
’til the bitter end

What’s in a name
Is it one and the same
Don’t ask me
They call me therapy
The best pet to pet
Forget what you regret
You know what they say
Everything will be OK

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I don’t know
Why they call him Fido
Why not
A name like spot
It could be worse, I know
The farmer’s dog they call Bingo

Run, Spot
See Spot run, Spot
Why not? Who did?
He’s colored solid
It could be worse, I know
The farmer’s dog they call Bingo

Heard a few
Spike and Toto, too
Old Yeller
Must have been his color?
It could be worse, I know
The farmer’s dog they call Bingo
B I N G O
And, Bingo was his name… ohhhh

bookmark_borderBark Up The Wrong Tree

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m starting to see
I’m barking up the wrong tree
Don’t know what comes over me
Just trying to say
I just want to play
Got to find a new way

I’m working to be
An improvement of me
Regain my sanity
Just trying to find
My peace/piece of mind
Be a little more kind

I think… maybe
If I play easy
Calm will overtake me
Could be on my way
To hear their say
A more peaceful day

bookmark_borderHowling At The Moon

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Friday the 13th
Looking for strength
Perfect full moon
For the ‘tic of loon
Howling at the moon
They say
You’re baying at the moon
Longing for something you can not have
If only that moon would wane in half

Bark into the dark of night
Who causes who more fright?
At the crossroads opposite high noon
Daylight can come none too soon
Follow the pied piper’s haunting tune
Blown away by love’s typhoon
In the alley of emotions strewn
’til pining for you I become immune
Howling at the moon
They say
You’re baying at the moon
Longing for something you can not have
If only that moon would wane in half

LYRICS
I’m sticking my nose
Into other peoples’ business
Who knows
If I’ll sniff out success
If it comes to blows
I can sprint with finesse
Who knows
If I’ll out run the best
We’ll test
Will test

Say I’m putting my nose
Into other peoples’ business
Who knows
At profit or a loss
I’m getting close
To asset success
Who knows
I could be your boss
We’ll test
Will test
Show biz
Pop quiz

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Tear it up. Rip it to shreds
Send it off with the living dead
Rip it up. Start to tear it apart
’til the living dead know to depart
Embark

What the heck try to break its neck
Total wreck better hit the deck
With grace and taste, diver’s arc
Truly a knight of the dark
Embark

Just won’t quit. Chomp at the bit
Hit a fit in the stomach’s pit
Paws with claws going to leave a mark
Razor teeth will show-up a shark
Embark

Shift out of park
Embark
So, I asked him
“Did you get it out of your system?”

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
You might see clumsy
But I’m much more than that
Fight like Jack Dempsey
Move faster than a cat
Did I hear you?
I’m coming through
Will be near you…
I’m plowing through

I might lean toward awkward
But I’m much more than that
Flight like a bird
Moves faster than a cat
Did I hear you?
I’m coming through
Will be near you…
I’m plowing through

You might see a fool
But I’m much more than that
The sharpest tool
Moves faster than a cat
Did I hear you?
I’m coming through
Will be near you…
I’m plowing through

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Situation of frustration
When you’re fenced in
Remain in containment
Harbor no resentment
Though you know I can fend for myself
I appreciate your help

It’s hard to beat
You feed me the meat
Throw in the bone
Make me feel at home
Though you know I can fend for myself
I appreciate your help

You say walk this way
Let me show you the around
Blow off work so we can play all day
You’re the best friend I’ve ever found
Though you know I can fend for myself
I appreciate your help

bookmark_borderChasing My Tale

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Chasing my tail
The same old tale
So I have found
It does astound
Going round and round and….
Setting sail
It’s a fairy tail
Going round and round and….
If you ever feel like you’re getting nowhere
Maybe it’s because you’re unaware
The tale that does offend
Is attached to your very own end
(Leaves you spinning round and round and….)
Is your story about fame and glory
Well after all,
The bigger they come the harder they fall
Your hubris is followed by nemesis
Thus is this…
Transcending
To the happy ending
Going round and round and….

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Don’t ask me what I’m digging for
’cause it’s obvious I dig for more
And if you ask me just once more
I’m going to dig and dig for sure
Does it make you feel bigger
I’m just a meager digger
Does it pull your trigger
I’m just a meager digger
I dig love
I dig joy
From above
Dug employ

You say “I’m digging for uranium”
And I’ve been told you can dig for gold
But I’m growing old
So I dig what I enjoy
I dig love
I dig joy
From above
I employ
Dig what you enjoy

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can you guess what I’m thinking about
Ohh if someone would just let me out
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
Take another guess on what I’m thinkin’
Ohh if someone would just let me in
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again

Who’s the master
And who’s the slave
Teach you faster
How to behave

Waiting here makes me want to shout
Can’t you see I want to go out
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again

I never ends
Ohh where to begin
Do I have to beg for you to let me in
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again
I got out
I come in
And then I do it again

And then I do it again

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
It’s getting late
Quarter-past eight
Anticipate
Not being alone
I’m sure he’ll find his way home

Just can’t wait
Half-past eight
Anticipate
Not being alone
I’m sure he’ll find his way home

Times all mine
Going on nine
Ain’t feelin’ fine
Here all alone
I’m sure he’ll find his way home
For certain he’s on his way home

Then, again
It’s almost ten
Seems often
I’m being alone
I’m sure he’ll find his way home
For certain he’s on his way home

Tongue bite
After midnight
Just ain’t right
Still alone
I’m sure he’ll find his way home
For certain he’s on his way home
He’s coming home!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As my age comes unfurled
Future to the past is hurled
It’s a dog eat… dog eat dog eat world
Thinkin’ they’re at it again
Better put ’em back in their pen
Chances aren’t that remote
They’ll be at each others throat
Gnawing at the hair on his neck
Teach the meaning of what the heck
Disbelief must have sharpened his teeth
Roll ’em over see what’s underneath
Making him bark ’til his lights go dark
Trying to leave more than a mark
As my age comes unfurled
Future to the past is hurled
It’s a dog eat… dog eat dog eat world

LYRICS
Dogfight! Dogfight!
On a lark, his bark
Ain’t worse than his bite
I mean
Don’t get in between
You’ll make the scene obscene
Those two dogs could play all day

You might talk low
And I know…
Carry a big stick
But in the thick of it
That stick’ll do jack$hit
Dogfight! Dogfight!
On a lark, his bark
Ain’t worse than his bite

Every one knows get the hose
You gotta spray a round to calm ’em down
It won’t hurt
If you give ’em a lil’ squirt
Dogfight! Dogfight!
On a lark, his bark
Ain’t worse than his bite

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
That’s the way the ball bounces
See a chance, someone pounces
Am I just being think
Is this the short end of the stick

That’s the way the cookie crumbles
It’s your chance when someone fumbles
Am I just being think
Is that the short end of the stick

Is it up to me
Take advantage of opportunity
Now I’m thinking quick
That’s the short end of the stick

Live comes easy
Open eyes see
