LYRICS
Some other time and place
Might have considered us waste
But, I say, “Look at it this way.”
Slow the pace to your haste

As for what I meant
Our beautiful experiment
So, I say, “Look at it this way.”
Pace your race into haste

A rib from Adam’s side
Would become his bride
Don’t take as urgent
What ya hear from a serpent
Less your labor is strain
And birth is a pain

LYRICS
When’s a good time
For a lyric and a rhyme
Pretty much anytime
When’s a good time to descend the climb
Pretty much anytime

Time is ticking away
Day by day by day
Moments slipping away
Day by day by day

The fabric of time frays
Only the memory stays
Life changes in so many ways
For now, cherish the days

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
A time to pick up sticks
A time to lay ’em down
A time to stack up bricks
A time to tear walls down
So much for “each to their own”
That whole thing was overblown
’cause you’re never really on your own
No. Fact of the matter —
We’re not alone

A time to learn the seeds
Appreciate the weeds
A time to earn the day
Appreciate the way
So much for “each to their own”
That whole thing was overblown
’cause you’re never really on your own
No. Fact of the matter —
We’re not alone

LYRICS
Feeling drained
After being strained
Garbage disposal disposed of
Yet, the clog remained
This plumber’s cracked
And could use some love
Money back
Guarantee
Honey back
So lovely

Pipefitter with a snake
Pied piper will awake
Follow him around
Follow him down, down
Underground
Plumber’s fixed the leak
Strengthened where it was weak
All hate disposed of
Now, bring on the love

LYRICS
So, what?
You begged for it
So, what
You fought for it
But, in your pursuit
You forgot it
Forget?
Forgot it
Became a suit
Thought you knew it
Now the new “it”
(Knew it new “it” nitwit)
Foregone conclusion
The collusion
Illusion
Based on delusion
So, what?
You begged for it
So, what
You fought for it
But, in your pursuit
You forgot it
Forget?
Forgot it

LYRICS
Early, early in the morning
Late, late in the evening
This paralysis of wondering
Is there any rational
Auf Wiedersehen… farewell

Early, early the beginning
Late, late in the ending
This paralysis of wondering
Is there any rational
Sayōnara… farewell

Early, early in the planning
Late, late in delivering
This paralysis of wondering
Is there any rational
Adiós… farewell

LYRICS
If ever there was a time, it’s now
If ever there was a way, somehow
The ominous within us
In an omnipresent situation
Represent the present stimulation
Give it up
Or pack it up
For soul salvation
… sole salvation

LYRICS
One thing leads to another
Before you know it
Know-body knows
Where they’re at
Perhaps by chance
You know the dance
Cultural swing
But, here’s the thing:
[jam]

Two things come together
Before you know it
Know-body knows
Where they’re at
Perhaps by chance
You know the dance
Cultural swing
But, here’s the thing:
[jam]

We bring the forever
Before you know it
We all know where it’s at
Perhaps by chance
You know the dance
Cultural swing
But, here’s the thing:
[jam]

LYRICS
I’m hearing something
That isn’t the same thing
Even the birds start singing:
It’s happening
You may want to knock it
Once your have tried it
You may want to beat it
Once that you feel it
Taking in the habitat

I’m hearing something
That is a new thing
Bells of freedom ringing
It’s happening
You may want to knock it
Once your have tried it
You may want to beat it
Once that you feel it
A well found habit
Taking in the habitat

LYRICS
Why can’t we just love one another
Closer than a sister or a brother
When all come together
’cause you’ve got me singing
How I’m yearning
For your loving

If we could just love one another
Like they are your father or your mother
And all come together
’cause you’ve got me singing
How I’m yearning
For your loving

Shouldn’t we just love one another
Like they are your son or your daughter
We all come together
’cause you’ve got me singing
How I’m yearning
For your loving

LYRICS
Sitting here with you
Under a sky so blue
Oh, there’s nothing better to do
Right here before my eyes
I’ve come to realize
All my dreams are coming true

[twinkling piano interlude]

Sitting here lakeside
Wondering if I have died
Gone to heaven to reside
Right here before my eyes
I’ve come to realize
All my dreams are coming true

[another twinkling piano interlude]

LYRICS
Establishment
Embezzlement
Our movement
Has become circumvent
Slight what we fight
Embody what we resent
Greed, envy, jealousy
Just won’t relent
Two-faced hypocrisy
We’ve come to represent
Can’t trust your president
Nor your revolution
What’s the solution?

LYRICS
Which direction
Towards resurrection
What’s up with going down?
Introspection
Mirror’s reflection
What’s up with going down?
Lord giving me the run-around
Says I’m mortality bound
Search for peace till she’s found
Angels will sing trumpets will sound
Take a deep breath
Let out a sigh
No need to worry
About why we die
Going to go up
And be a spirit
In the sky
