LYRICS
Do you want me to go down there?
Guess I’d better take enough air
Their bomb scare
Bobmshell-hell-ter
Afraid
Air-raid
Dumb blonde bomb
Chemical weapons
Of mass destruction
My life depends
On resurrection
Bombshell hell, well
Can’t stand the smell
Not feeling well
No place to dwell

LYRICS
Do this? Do that?
As a matter of fact
Why don’t I act?
If spew and spew
Is all I do
Where will it get you?
I see…
I am the dilemma…
In me
What tit for tat
Engage in spat
Why don’t I act?
If spew and spew
Is all I do
Where will it get you?
I see…
I am the dilemma…
In me

Recording: original take / live digital 1-track stereo
Instrumentation: Vocals, Keyboards
From the album Highly Suspect
LYRICS
Will you ever forget
All you regret
If your heart will let
Your mind will rest
So, don’t you think it’s best
To free yourself from fret
Will you ever relent
You’ve over spent
If your heart will lend
your mind will mend
So, don’t you think it’s best
Love yourself like the rest
Sure am glad to be free
From the misery
Where there’s love to be found
I’ll let it surround
I know it’s for the best
If peace of mind is the quest

LYRICS
How novel…
Novel
A tail telltale tell-it-all
Novel…
How novel
The bounce pronounced tells it all
Novel…
How novel
Do you have a minute to talk
A story about your walk
Novel…
How novel
Page 1 starts where you take a stance
The plot thickens when you start to dance
Climax comes when you take off your pants
A tail
A telltale tail
Tell-it-all novel
The way it talks the talk
When I see you walk your walk
A tell-it-all novel
Half fact… half friction

LYRICS
What is up? Are we all gullible
Naive
What is up? Are we all liable
Retrieve
Can’t plead insane
And still remain
Is it too late now?
Believe (You’ve got to believe)
What is up? Are we all ignorant
Numb n’ dumb
What is up? Are we all arrogant
Dumb n’ numb
Is it too late now?
Believe (You’ve got to believe)
Relieve
What is up? Caught in a row
Fight delight
What is up? Forgot how?
Light insight
Is it too late now?
Believe (You’ve got to believe)
Relieve
Receive

LYRICS
Who has the pow!
Who has the power, now?
The lights are dimming
Glow goes sour
Who has the power?
Who has the pow!
Who has the power, now?
The air is chilling
In the corner, cower
Who has the power?
Who has the pow!
Who has the power, now?
Clock isn’t blinking
For another hour
Who has the power?
Who has the pow!
Who has the power, now?
Bath water is freezing
Must forego a shower
Who has the power?
Who has the pow!
Who has the power, now?
Set the juice loose
Blackout on track
Tail/tale end: caboose
We’ve got the pow!
We’ve got the power, now!

LYRICS
When I fall on my butt
I get up and try it again
No “if, and, nor no but”
Persistence till conquerin’
Until gain with no pain
Never retreat
Just repeat… re, re, re, p, p, p, eat
Get it right the first time
Then, I’m free to keep movin’
Go with the reason, flow with the rhyme
Slip right in to the lovin’
When I fall into the Zen
Want that feeling again and again
Then, it feels like heaven
’cause I’m not one for practicin’

LYRICS
Who knows where the time goes
But it’s gone, it’s went, it’s spent
Living on borrowed… living on lent
Skip the foes, the woes, the lows
The hands keep on spinning
The world goes round and round
The herd keeps on thinning
Argh… we all fall down
The clock keeps on tickin’
Hoping more can be found
The plot start thicken
Argh… we all fall down
Father Time is aging
On a train homeward bound
The river Styx is raging
Argh… we all fall

You are the angel
Spread your wings
I’ll be your breeze

Soar down and save without might

The Glory will bring
Insight with in sight
Sight within sight
Insight within sight

LYRICS
… the long and short of it:
We did what we did
That’s it
The long and short of it
Period
Now what will we do
To come to the rescue
Rescue you
Rescue me
To save us from our collective “we”
That’s the long and short of it
That’s it
The long and short of it
Period
Let us — soup to nuts
The whole ball of wax
As just the basic facts
That’s the long and short of it
That’s it
The long and short of it
Period

LYRICS
Though the sky is bright and clear
There is something still to fear
Another storm is drawing near
Round up those you hold dear
Send ’em below (or to the rear)
Make it known for all to hear
No one winds an economic war
The rich get poorer…
So do the poor
Trade your trade war
For no more
Look out past the horizon
There’s a hard rain and wind that’s drivin’
In its path weaving leaving none
When all is said and done
(Q) How deep will the loses run?
(A) A total loss and none have won

LYRICS
When I close my eyes at night
I see the light
On the way to dreaming
Extrospect is streaming
See the light
Guide us through the night
Guided night/knight
All this is and will likely be
Is embodied in “we”
When you close your eyes at night
Can you see the light?

LYRICS
Must get through
Right here! Right Now!
Somehow
It’s what we have to do
… get through
’cause it’s what we have to do
Me, you… we
HAVE TO!
And for the next while
Somehow
Have to get the message through
WE DO! (It’s overdue)
We’ll try to keep it simple
Won’t deviate from the principle
Right here, right now!
“AWAKE!
… our future’s at stake”

LYRICS
Why am I so lucky
Living life with no need for pity
Look up to the sky…
I have to wonder why
Feeling with empathy
No need for your sympathy
Look up to the sky…
I have to wonder why
Oh, Lord
Can you spare a word
Have you heard
I scream, “What does it mean?”
Look up to the sky…
I have to wonder why
Is it just me
Or can everybody see
How to be and be living free
Look up to the sky…
I have to wonder why
From now through eternity
There’s nothing better that I can see
Graciously
I thank thee
Look up to the sky…
Praise till the day I die

LYRICS
Too short on the short
Too long the too long
I must be moving on
In short, so long
The time is ripe to move along
Bring the hype into the song
Open the door
Explore for more
You’ll see…
It’s meant to be
BE
Can’t be rescinded
The way too long long-winded
No. Can’t be really wrong
In short, so long
Said it once, why say it again
Let’s end “The End”
Begin begin
Get it on
Bang a gong
In short, so long
