LYRICS
The skies are crying
Over nature lyin’
(Lion?!?! [Roar])
Ignorance is no excuse
Gonna cut us loose
The skies are crying
Over nature dying
Ignorance is no excuse
Gonna cut us loose
All that you / I / we spew
Gonna rain back down on you
The dent of a carbon footprint
Gonna imprint
My, but…
Ass-k me know questions
I’ll tell you know lies
In “the end” everybody dies
Until then
What if everybody tries?

LYRICS
Hope you brought your goggles
Wind whipped watering eye
As you mind boggles
Wind of vain waters your I
Eventually the wind will die
Exponentially the answer to why
As I/eye observe
Under the curve

Photons traveling at the speed of light
Pass right through the windshield
You’re on to something… ideas bright
Spinning molten core of ore’s magnetic field
(interlude: momentary lapse of magnetic field)
Chorus

Colliding with stardust
Bust stardust that’s us
Pinprick holes add to our pores
As the starlight pours
(Chorus)

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about Earth as our spaceship and the delicate nature of our atmosphere. The atmosphere protects humans in many ways, including stopping billions of little meteors from passing through our bodies. Remember to appreciate friction, too… not only does it burn up all those meteors, it also stops us from dying every time it rains.

Style: Alternative Rock / Folk
Chords: A C7 / Em C / C Bb A
Recording: original take / digital 1-track stereo

LYRICS
I find it most compelling
That you are yelling
“Down in front!”
I find it most revealing
That you are screaming
“Down in front!”
Why not just get up
And put your feet on your seat
Please give it up
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
To the beat

I find it most relieving
That you’re believing
Up upfront!
The zest you’re retrieving
Makes me feel I’m living
“Down in front!”

Why not just get up
And put your feet on your seat
Please give it up
Clap your hands
Stomp your feet
To the beat

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Walking ’round under sky so blue
Wondering if it’s true… am I under the weather
Under the weather
Yes, it’s true, when its’ raining down on you
Without doubt — under the weather
Under the weather
But there’s nor to interfere
With my atmosphere
Skies are clear
Is it “fair” to say “under the weather”
Under the weather

Walking ’round under sky so blue
Wandering… is it true… am I under the whether
Under the whether
Yes, it’s true, when the hail reigns on you
Without doubt — under the whether
Under the whether
But there’s nor to interfere
With my atmosphere
Skies are clear
Is it “fair” to say “under the weather”
Under the weather/whether

Additional Verses
Yes, I know, when you’re getting snow
It’s easy to know you’re under the weather

For crying out loud! It’s a giant cloud
I’m aware… under the weather

LYRICS
An earthquake near
Eruption far
Acts of God
Are so bizarre
Our so bizarre
Ever so odd
When lightning strikes
It is the time
Where lightning strikes
It is the place
Now I know I’m
Part of the human race
RUN!

(starting to dawn the race is on)

Extreme weather fear
I don’t endear
At least it’s clear
I’ve made it this far
Acts of God
Are so bizarre
Our so bizarre
Ever so odd

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Know your toe/tow is over the line?
… for the final time
You’re stepping over the line
Onto the side known as “mine”
Crossing the line
Of black and white
Can’t be right
Not long
From wrong
Please don’t try n’ say
You thought it gray
When the shading ain’t that fine
Crossing the line

Sign on the dotted line
Selling soul for a dime
Step to “the end” of the line
The space you’re in’s known as mine
(chorus)

Between love and hate there is no fine line
That line won’t buy you time
At “the end of times”, reverse the line
On the last supper dine
(chorus)

Be Freed.mp3

LYRICS
Which came first, the chicken or the egg…
I beg?
Why did the chicken cross the road…
Please unload?
Can you be freed if never caged
Or live a life unengaged?

If a tree falls in a vacant forest, does it make a sound…
Please resound?
Knock, knock! Who’s there…
Are you aware?
Can you be freed if never caged
Or live a life unengaged?

When first come last and last first…
Will you thirst?
At the crossroads: the devil, your soul…
What’s the toll?
Can you be freed if never caged
Or live a life unengaged?

African or European, your sparrow…
If asked to narrow?
Would you bet the sun to set, yet…
Still stand still?
Can you be freed if never caged
Or live a life unengaged?

LYRICS
Are you hard of hearing?
I can see where this conversation’s steering
Where you’re leading
My ears are bleeding!

Up to my ears in __it!
“It doesn’t really matter”
Couldn’t get much sadder
Maybe we could listen
To the position
Of reason….
’tis the season
To S.O.S.? Confess
Save our souls
Before your next die rolls

LYRICS
Rock the clock like Bangkok (+12 hours)
Ya ought ‘a Jakarta (+12)
Come on, Boy, like Hanoi (+12)
You know you can even go to Tokyo? (+14)
Living in a time zone
Where I’m prone
To run fast
Living in a time zone
Where mind’s blown
Free at last

Want to start slow? Try Oslo (+6)
Or way down in Freetown (+5)
Time flies by? Try Dubai (+9)
As for me, I’m rarin’ like a Yarenian (+17)
Living in a time zone
Where I’m prone
To run fast
Living in a time zone
Where mind’s blown
Free at last

Still standing still in Guayaquil? (same time)
Or minus a few in Honolulu (-5)
Come on Ketchup to Hamburg (+6)
Gonna do what I can do in Katmandu (+10:45)
Living in a time zone
Where I’m prone
To run fast
Living in a time zone
Where mind’s blown
Free at last

LYRICS
Setting the sights to where we are
Because where we are…
… isn’t that far
The closest star —
The sun?
Done.
Setting the sights to where we are
Look! You’re really not far
From being the star
Guess gravity gave the sway
’cause look! We’re on our way
Suppose we’ve already been
Travelin’
In
Feel the pull china shop bull?
Our sights are set…
Not that far
Just about where we are
Prayin’ the orbit holds “up” a bit
’round n’ ’round in the same ole habit

LYRICS
Building a bridge
Using a rocket ship
Going to make heaven
A real short trip
Countdown: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…
Begin
Don’t burn it, baby
Save the chance of “maybe”
Nope
Don’t give up the hope
To enhance
[Interlude: build a musical bridge here]

Building a bridge
Over the unravel
Go out on a ledge
Nouveau-travel
Don’t burn bridges, baby
Give love a chance
Hold on to maybe
A chance to enhance

For now there’s comfort “to know”
No stopping “to know”
For now, it’s come to me
We’re free

Free to know
Free to see
Free to know
Up to me

LYRICS
The result of self-defeating
Is a mental beating
So why not give yourself a lift
With a soulful soul full of rift/riff
What do you say…
We let the music play?
Soulful soul full of riff/rift
Giving the gift
Of a fresh lick
The gift of music

Victim of mental beating
Don’t let it be self-defeating
So why not give yourself a lift
With a soulful soul full of rift/riff
What do you say…
We let the music play?
Soulful soul full of riff/rift
Giving the gift
Of a fresh lick
The gift of music
… let the music play
All day
Into the light of the night
Into the delight of all night
