Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I don’t know but I’ve been told
You can’t buy or sell your soul
The devil’s in the details
In the fine print… never fails

Dip your toe, start to wade
How much are you willing to trade
I don’t know but I’ve been told
Find the fountain of youth and never grow old

I don’t know but I’ve been told
The fire of hell never grows cold
(No, never goes cold)

I don’t know but I’ve been told
You can wast your life in search of gold
I don’t know but I’ve been told
You can’t buy or sell your soul
The devil’s in the details
In the fine print… never fails

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Waiting for the atmosphere to clear
How long have I been waiting here?
Oh, dear
How’s the air way up there
Way down here less than fair
Not sure we’re aware
(Or that we even care)

Waiting for the atmosphere
To clear itself from all the fear
Tell me does the time draw near?
Oh, dear

The word on the street I’m waiting to hear
What the message is isn’t coming in clear
Oh, dear

Through the atmosphere trying to peer
How long have I been standing here?
Oh, dear

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can you please tell me
Things I can not see
Can you please tell me
Is it right in front of me
Things I need to know
Here we go:
Love is like a heart attack
Once you’re caught / a clot
You can never come back?
Love is like a snakebite
Once bitten never quite right
Love is like a house on fire
All possessions in straights so dire
Love is like a yo-yo
Wrapped ’round ‘er finger
There you go
… the pain will linger

LYRICS
The earth, wind and fire
The elements conspire
Gas, liquid, solid
They did
In a state of transition
Transformation
A new age information
For formation

Air, land, sea
In unity
(Get down to Earth)
Rock, paper, scissors
Metamorphosis

Birth, life, death
Laid to rest
The End, middle, begin
Do it again

LYRICS
Are those columns or pillars?
Holding up the weight
Let alone there’s no keystone
To participate
I can’t wait
To end this debate

Built on a foundation of solid rock
Or banging erasers at the school of hard knocks?
I can’t wait
To end this debate

Those standing proud and tall
Applaud your facade… of all the gall
I can’t wait
To end this debate

Is your house built on solid ground
Or falling down all around
Does your cup overflow
With what you know
Wisdom; therefore, I am?
I can’t wait
To end this debate

LYRICS
If the grass is always greener
On the other side
We reside
Believe me time’s are leaner
On that side
We reside
We reside on the right side
We reside on the bright side

If the skies are always bluer
On the other side
We reside
Believe me ours diffuse (the blues)
On this side
We reside
We reside on the right side
We reside on the bright side

Are the streets full of dreamers
Ride the tide
We reside
In the flow of the streamers
The inside
Is outside
We reside
We reside on the right side
We reside on the bright side

LYRICS
1,2… 3,4….
I don’t know if it adds up any more
1,2… 3,4….
Trading logic for blood and gore
My God! What’s in store?
Your God trade rich for poor?

5,6… 7,8….
I don’t know if it’s too late
5,6… 7,8….
Check my expiration date
My God! What’s in store?
Your God trade rich for poor?

7,8… 9,10….
Chances are can’t do it again
7,8… 9,10….
Hard to explain where we’ve been
My God! What’s in store?
Your God trade rich for poor?

1,2… 3,4….
Searching for people that care any more
5,6… 7,8….
Can you tell me if I’m too late
My God! What’s in store?
Your God trade rich for poor?

LYRICS
Has your soul any innards
Any guts
… just nuts?
Does your soul socialize
Or sole?
… how droll
Inches turn to yards
Start to realize
Days turn to years
The hopes… the fears
Eternal sole soul?
Fornicate at any rate
The soul’s goal
The sole goal
The soul goal
Letting life live forever
Immortal
Endeavor

LYRICS
Even on a grey day
Look on the bright side
Just over the cloud cover
There’s a sky both blue and wide
The sun’s still shinin’ in… in

You say the rain drives you insane
Look on the bright side
You know there’ll be a rainbow
Will glow both far and wide
The sun’s still shinin’ in… in

We learn the world does turn
Look on the other side
Though at night, can’t see the light
Soon darkness will collide
The sun’s still shinin’ in… in
No more minding
Enough opining
No, never minding
The sun’s still shinin’ in… in

LYRICS
One way street
The wrong way
Leaves me in defeat
On my knees and pray

There is no easy way out
Beyond a reasonable doubt
There is no easy way out
(We find out)

Four-way stop
And a cop
Watching like a hawk
Next time better walk

Missed red light
Not my night?
Fight or flight
I just might

LYRICS
Can’t quite believe it
Did you really eat it
The proof is in the pudding
No, there’s no mistake
Oil and vinegar
Never really mate

How’re going to take it
Knowing some won’t make it
Attrition through subtraction
For the sum
Attrition through division
For the some

Are you going to hate it
If you don’t have a ticket
Much to your chagrin
You can’t get in
For the price of being nice
You could begin

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
There’s a conman down in D.C.
Making crime look so easy
And don’t ever forget it
The world’s biggest bigot
Assuming it’s true
What are going to do
Assuming it’s true
How about you?

A molester on your front porch
Even more in your church
As far as your daughter
Hope they never got her?
Assuming it’s true
What are going to do
Assuming it’s true
How about you?

When it comes to global warming
Did we heed the warning
It would have been nice
To save a little ice
Assuming it’s true
What are going to do
Assuming it’s true
How about you?

You can make a difference
If you give yourself a chance
The trick is in the balance
Of your music and your dance
Assuming it’s true
What are going to do
Assuming it’s true
How about you?

LYRICS
I’m glad to see you’re living
Alive
So glad to see you’re arriving
Arrive
In the time that we’re given
Let’s give
In the time that we’re given
Let’s live

No lie… our days are numbered
We die
Why while away all slumbered
Arise
In the time that we’re given
Let’s give
In the time that we’re given
Let’s live

I’m so glad to see you’re created
Alive
So glad that you made it
Arrived
In the time that we’re given
Let’s give
In the time that we’re given
Let’s live

LYRICS
Can you see the beauty
Laying all around
Underneath the tree
The roots underground
Intermingle
Another can be found
In and out of the fungus
Communication bound

Can you feel the tingle
Flowing through us
Electrons linger
Knowing we’re flush
Intermingle
Another can be found
In and out of our skin
Communication bound

Can you hear the singer
When you listen to the sound
You become a party
To what is going down
Intermingle
Another can be found
In and out of our conscious
Communication bound

Can you see the beauty
Lying all around
You’ve become a party
To what is going down
