LYRICS
Cantaloupe colored border dog?
Why so melancholy
Let the princess kiss the frog
Find the jolly in the folly
Have some faith in yourself
Beyond the eve of believe
What is your life on the shelf
Wearing your heart on your sleeve

Choking on goose feathers?
Why so down in the mouth
If you want to weather whethers
Join the union, fight the south
(chorus)

Stub your toe on the pale
Not ready to kick the bucket
If the sight of ghosts makes you ail
Look that devil in the “I”… and say, #uck it!”
(chorus)

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can we find a way
That each and every day
Back the clock back
Define daily standard time:
Fall back one hour
I’m for our life savings time

Counterclockwise
Wise compromise
Is it a big deal
TO day-to-day steal
A 60 minute bit
Or will Mother Nature throw a fit?

Ripping the continuum
Asking if I am?

LYRICS
Of all the things
She sings
Of butterfly wings
Catching the drift: The uplift of the uplift…
Uplifting
When flapping wings
Chaotically brings
“Attached with strings”
Catching the drift: The uplift of the uplift…
Uplifting
Do ra me do
Sing a tornado
The I of the know

Appears that I am
Chaotic system
Un-ordered as I may be
Skin makes it me
The humility of humanity
Someday maybe
Set free

We’ll go marching
We’ll go marching
Will go marching
On parade
Not afraid
To exercise
Freewill
Beyond wade
Gonna swim

We’ll go swimming
We’ll go swimming
Will go swimming
In the see
Time to be
The eye of I’s
Freewill
Gonna fly
We will
We’ll go flying
We’ll go flying
Will go flying
Into the eye
Hurricane of the brain
Train sane
The kind to mind the mind kind
King mind

LYRICS
Why do you think it is…
Is turns to was?
What’s all the fuss
What’s all the buzz
’cause I’m telling ya…
It always does

When do you think will…
Will stand still?
Hoping it’s long until
We lose that thrill
’cause I’m asking ya…
Have you had your fill?

Now find out how…
How is right now
Maybe time will allow
Us to love the “wow!”
’cause she’s telling us
Seize the here and now
Turning sword into plough
Sowing seeds that endow

It Is (music video).mp4

LYRICS
Flip your lid and fill ‘er up
No quid pro quo measuring cup
A deal’s a deal be it love or war
Hypocrisy will cut it no more
Wade into the spotlight
The colors fade
No shade of gray is white
Right can not trade
Gonna run
Or stick to your guns
Gonna fight
Or spread wings for flight

Done you did and that is that
Egg-on-face big fat cat
Choke it up… feed kitty
Owing dues sure ain’t pretty

LYRICS
I see the memory
Distorts reality
The good ole days
Aren’t as good as todays
History passes before rose colored glasses
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

My recollection
Tinged by selection
The glory days
Aren’t as good as todays
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

I see that the dream
Can be seen
The scene of yesterdays
Isn’t as good as today’s
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

Today’s quite O.K.
Evermore tomorrow
I’ll let the past pass
And grab now while it lasts
Welcome to “the best is yet to come”
Then some….

Some may come
Some may go
Others… hell no!
Some… ya never know
Some are dumb
Some they know
Rise above
Let love grow
Rather friend than foe
Unstill my heart
Fulfill let’s start

Take, take, take
Big mistake
Live to give
Lose or win
Am I genuine… or fake
Unstill my heart
Fulfill let’s start

La, la, la
Or, woe ohhh…
Blah, blah, blah
Or, go, go
Ahhhhh… yeah, yeah, yeah
Unstill my heart

LYRICS
One at a time
Going down the line
Two at a time
Double-down divine
Feeling fine

And what about
Three strikes you’re out
Before four
Just need one more
Four sure

Barely alive
Passing by five
Not a peep
At six feet deep
… that’s deep!

Dead on
Hit the nail on the head
Carry on
Unflail the dread
Dawned on
Enlightened my head
Beyond
where the logic led
Philosophy wed
(Fertile field bred)

LYRICS
Please excuse me
Did somebody lose me
And would you hear
“Where do we go from here?”
Where do we go from here

Please steer clear
Getting too near
It’s easy to see
We don’t want to go there
Aware, we don’t want to go there

Meander away
Bewildered all day
What do you say
Maybe we lost our way
Perhaps we lost our way?

Account for what we are
Two I’s with two eyes
I see two I’s are we
Together you and me — we

We’re really not that far

Cause the wail of the whale
Seal the fate of the seal
Account for our big deal

Account for what we are

LYRICS
Thinking about the blood flow
Making it go head to toe
I amaze myself
With physical existence wealth
Don’t even need to think to blink
Nor flick a switch to start the heart
Into the craze
Of the ways that amaze
“I’m alive!”
Drive, body, drive
