LYRICS
My heart’s racing fast
Will I kiss you at last
It’s been so long
So long, long
My heart’s racing fast
Will I hear you at last
It’s been so long
So long, long
In the time it takes to blink
In the flash of a wink
So long, long
So long, Long
When it’s too late to think
And you know you’re on the brink
You get it on
Been too long
So long, long

My heart’s racing fast
Will I hold you at last
It’s been so long
So long, long
My heart’s racing fast
Life has passed past
Moving along
Past gone
In the time it takes to blink
In the flash of a wink
So long, long
So long, Long
When it’s too late to think
And you know you’re on the brink
You get it on
Been too long
So long, long

LYRICS
[Deep Breathing]
Within you
Deep within you
Is coming through
See the deep seep
Out of you
The more you give
The more you live
Then the light can come in
Enlighten
Within you
Deep within you
Is coming through
Inside out
Inside about
Let the light in
May the light in enlighten
1+1=2
As 2 are 1’s
As 2 our 1
You, me, we

LYRICS
Wonderful
As a waterfall
You instill
The will to fulfill
Beautiful
As foliage in fall
Faithful
Until Spring renewal
Comfort and compassion
Are the seasons’ fashion

Special
As a fresh snowfall
Windowsill
A view to a thrill
Pockets full
Of a miracle
Empirical
Turned lyrical
Comfort and compassion
Are the seasons’ fashion

Whimsical
Fill the youthful
Delightful
Add shine to dull
Ample
For all to sample
Example
Of grandeur
Comfort and compassion
Are the seasons’ fashion

LYRICS
Before you go off half-cocked
Do you know the door is unlocked
And did you know
You can open the window
You’re free to go

Why live in a rage
After you construct your cage
And did you know
You can let your mind grow
You’re free to go

Come on! Let yourself out
Find out what the world’s about
Come on! Let yourself out
Take the highroad route
Why live in doubt?

LYRICS
Operation demolition
Of the Constitution
De-regulation station of the damn-nation
Dismantle rationality
Demolish the humanity
Join in the calamity
Govern-mental insanity
It’s time we see
From sea to rising sea
It’s up to you and me
Let’s make it so we can see
More clearly
Let’s make it so we can breathe
More cleanly
Maybe even love more dearly?

LYRICS
When the bone gets in the way
Fills the cavity
No holes for the eyes to see
No space for the brain to be
Made our bodies from clay (… they say)
God! I find this odd
No holes left for the eyes to see
Clearly
Narrow marrow
Am I alone… thinking solid bone?

Bone meets bone
When the bone meets the bone
Fusion illusion

LYRICS
Darkness descends
The day ends
Quiet takes over as night
Pierce the silent moment
Piercing the silence of my ignorance
The revelation of having a chance
You mean we might have a chance?
Watch my feet doing a happy dance

Just have faith in humanity
And our adaptability
Bring on peace and tranquility
Pierce the silent moment
Piercing the silence of my ignorance
Sure there’s bloodshed
And too many dead
Piercing the silence of my ignorance
The revelation of having a chance
I mean we might have a chance
If we’re apt to adapt the happy dance

What is this re-birth
You keep hoping for
You want to make Earth
Great again? Please begin

What if the only thing she can do
Is purge you?

LYRICS
If you’re feeling down
And you want to get high
Did you know
Just look me in the eye
Then close your “I”
And get ready to fly
Putting on a show
In your mind’s eye
Giving your vision a try
For sure, tell your worries bye-bye
Good-bye
Stimulation of imagination
Spirit nation elevation
Realization celebration
Stagnation deprivation
Creation illation
Flirtation elation
Hydration libation
Vexation cessation
Salvation gyration
Vocation vacation
Coloration demonstration
Stimulation of imagination

LYRICS
Looking to put a little harmony
Back into country
Some transparency
In our dirty laundry

Just the basic fact
Of exactly where we’re at
In our humanity extract

Looking to put a little peace piece
Back in civility
Civil in our civil war
On integrity

Chorus

Looking to put a little pride
Back in nationality
A quick logic fix
In our rationality

LYRICS
The left ain’t right
And the right’s left
(And, that ain’t right)
Gone
A blight
Wrong
The right’s deft

The left is all wrong
About what’s going on
The right is all wrong
About what’s going on

As the left and right fight
There’s nothing left
No direction
The intersection
Of dejection
And perplextion

Circumcision
Concoction
Circumspection
Erection
Rejection
Infection

The left ain’t right
And the right’s left
(And, that ain’t right)

A song about senators pulling a vote-a-rama.

As Republicans push forward with repealing the Affordable Care Act, lawmakers are about to undertake a grueling Senate tradition: the vote-a-rama, a marathon of rapid-fire votes that is likely to stretch on for hours.

LYRICS
It’s hard to face the facts
When the facts lack
Or pull yourself up by the bootstraps
A barefoot kickback
Going to find the facts
Put an end to this fact flack
Get baby a new pair of shoes
Compassion’s for those that choose

Give me a break
There’s a lot at stake
When the POTUS turns fake
And the news — if only we knew

Now that I’m facing the facts
We elected a slack
In need of a boot to the ass
To show us worldly class
Back from fact finding
No need in reminding
Don’t ever, ever, ever let in
A con-man with thin skin
Give me a break
There’s a lot at stake
When the POTUS turns fake
And the news — if only we knew

Give me a break
There’s a lot at stake
When the POTUS turns fake
And the news — if only we knew

LYRICS
The fear
Of his smoke and mirror
I tire
Of the bold face liar
Bankruptcies
As far as the eye sees (the I’s see)
Oligarchists
Stealing money hands over fists
Took a full-time job
Taking money from the mob
Imagine this
Russian prostitute piss
What’s next
Off shore snakeoil drilling
Perplex
For sure, taxpayer billing
OH! Sob…
Dirty laundering with the Russian Mob
Now you
Make ‘merica squandering, again

LYRICS
You thought the bell had rung
That the fight was all done
Become aware
As you stare into the air
That was just round one

Don’t give up your fight
When you fight for what is right
Keep up the good fight
When it comes to shedding light

Hear my battle cry
“Fighting for peace!”
Here we try, try, try
Getting hate to cease

Did you hear the bell? Did you?
Well, that was just round two
Become aware
As you start into the air
There’s much more to do

Holding on to life
Before dropping dead
Sigh.
We’re all going to die

Foster dread

Better off dead

Ya know
