Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Does the gravity of longevity
Bring the brevity of identity
Into question?
The suggestion of mortality
The reality
When times are ominous
Please remember in all of us
Lives a hero with heartache
Longing for the great escape
In the time that “I am”, I’m
Going to set that hero free
In the time that “I am”, I’m
Bringing out that hero in me
In the time that “I am”, I’m
Creating destiny
You just might find
You can save mankind
Hold the thought in your mind
“Never too late to be kind”

LYRICS
Do you know what I mean
When I sing “floating down stream”?
Behave with the energy wave
… to the sea
Try to keep your head above water
Don’t ever go down for the third time
It really does matter
Living the nursery rhyme
Floating down stream
My body a boat in the dream
Embody “about” in the dream

LYRICS
Mother Nature says
It’s only a phase
The nuclear age
The good ole days
Have parted ways
Mother Nature says
It’s only a phase
Only a stage
Postmodern rage
Comin’ clean on the war machine
Funded by our ghetto scenes
The American dream going up in steam
From growing a heart that’s mean
Redeem!

The more I dream
The redeem scene
Obscene come clean
I mean the dream
No longer mean
Loving is keen
Heart is the queen
Mercy is seen
The redeem scene

LYRICS
Man, how much human
Can we endure
How much more?
Fouled land, air and sea
Haven’t we
All ’bout me
(Imagine that)
Habitat sure got hot
It’s not the heat… nor humidity
It is humanity
… or lack thereof
It’s all about the love
You see — humanity
… or lack thereof

Purveyors of music, song and dance
Let’s give ’em one more chance
Convey what we hear Her say
Mother Nature’s messenger
Know Her… be no stranger
Ensure we endure
It is humanity
… or lack thereof
It’s all about the love
You see — humanity
… or lack thereof

LYIRCS
(tickin’, tickin’, tickin’)
It’s only time
Slipping, slipping, slipping
It’s only time
… not really mine
Dripping, dripping, dripping
There is no gripping
Slipping through butter fingers
A moment briefly lingers
Then, it’s gone… so long
Luckily for me
It’s only time

Any time is fine time
Define time?
Anytime is fine time
The time to pine for time…
Is wasted time
Defined time
At the end of the line
’til that time
I’m

On the track
And there is no turning back
On the track
Lightning from the smokestack
Oh, let go! Let’s go

On the track
And the train is bearing down
On the track
Hit us like a rodeo clown

On the track
Time we all took this train back
On the track
Here we go! Citizens attack!

On track
And there is no turning back
On track
Lightning from our smokestack

Wait for me! Can’t you see…
My stride is tiny
Don’t want to sound whiny
Oh, please wait for me

A ride to destiny
Sure wanna be in the Promised City
Oh, please… wait for me!

LYRICS
The warriors putting on their armor
“So, humor in war”
The soldiers securing armor
“So no humor any more…
In any war”

In light we fight with all our might
As we fight right to slight what might
Holding dear to fear as black as night
The sword of justice adjusts us down to height

Please roll me over when it’s over
I don’t want to see
Cover me with your shield
Blind is what I’ll be

LYRICS
I wish I knew this when I was younger
I wish I knew this a little longer
There’s nothing wrong with being a beatless sense monger
A little bit of loving makes you a lot stronger
Give a little bit and love to live

Alas, I wish I would have grasp this on the first pass
Learning the feeling of a complete ass
There’s nothing better than being a beatless sense monger
A little bit of loving makes you a lot stronger
Give a little bit and love to live

Trying not to make the mistake to make the same mistake
Dreaming of being a being being awake
Partake in the song as a beatless sense monger
A little bit of loving makes you a lot stronger
Give a little bit and love to live

LYRICS
Tistical was a statistical was
Too late to have been a “has been”
Born being with the being leaving
Tistical… not really a free radical
After all
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!

After what id did you should have hid
But no! Super ego left the building
You know?
Look at your feet stuck in conceit
Conceit defeat
Change your goal to the heart in your soul
Forward roll
Into freefall
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!
Let go of your ego
Ego freefall
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!
Electrical juice in cutting it loose
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!
Freefall
Ego
Tistical, let go

LYRICS
Clark Kent in to a phone booth
Change into the naked truth
Naked truth
Clark Kent out of the phone booth
Wearing the naked truth
Naked truth

Naked truth
Starts with your birthday suit
The essence of your root
Nothing else to boot
Soothsayer soul’s sleuth
Wearing the naked truth
Naked truth

Naked truth
Is more than just skin deep
Into your soul it will seep
An existential leap
Superhero out of the phone booth
In you naked truth
Naked truth

Almost rock off my rock

Even when on solid rock
I rock the rock

Almost rock off my rock

Take stock
In our foundation

Almost rock off my rock
When I rock

Pluck that string
Make it sing

LYRICS
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

How sure is your footing on the precipice of the future
How sure? For sure?
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

Presently I consider the present a present
The recent present won’t persist
No, it won’t last
Men, grasp it while you can!
Before it passes to past
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

Did you notice the crowd
It’s loud!
A mad dash to the finish line
3, 2, 1… then, you’re out of time
3, 2, 1…
Then, you’re done

Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

LYRICS
Are you aware of the squawking bird
Beware of the squawking bird
Squawking bird
How absurd
Squawked for hours
About hers not ours
Does anybody know
Where did the scarecrow go
(If they only had a brain that was sane….)

Screeching bird
How absurd
Screeching for days
About changing ways
Ours not hers

Relentless bird
How absurd
Acts as if no one heard
Never occurred?

Has anyone heard
From the silent bird
Let’s look in the giblets

LYRICS
Can you hear hell?
Clear as a bell
IF judgment is coming
Why are you running
Well, can’t you tell
You can’t outrun hell

Can you smell hell?
Not hard to tell
Rotten eggs n’ burning sulfur
Nausea and diarrhea sufferer
Judgement day is on the way
Well, you can’t outrun hell

Can you taste hell?
Bitter farewell
An aftertaste of human waste
Laid to waste in our haste
Mankind fell
Trying to outrun hell
