I thought you said I wouldn’t hardly…

Just out of grasp
(Gasp!)

LYRICS
Ready. Steady. Know.
Let’s go
Enough to and fro
I want to know
Can we go?
All day long
Sad song
Right turn? No wrong
Left weak now strong
For how long?
I can’t wait
Tempt fate
Can’t hesitate
No! Can’t be late
It’s our date
Rust on vine
It’s time
Now/then combine
Tomorrow’s line (a fine line in time)
Now’s the time

bookmark_borderThe Might Of Foresight

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
This is what you said was to be?
Just wish…
… wish you would have asked me
Your world unfurled
Hurled
Upon the rest of us
Would be no justice
The might of foresight
Might move me a might
Out-of-sight
Into the light
Seeing…
… sawing… the awe-ing
Left around down
Up to desire higher

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Starting up this thing
Everybody sing
Give those feet a chance
To dance
In the morning
In the evening
In the daylight
And dark of night
Living on song and dance
Puts a twinkle in your glance
It’ll keep you young at heart
Give an old soul a knew/new start

Dancing along to every song
Raising a voice singing along
Can justify whatever’s wrong
As long as your spirit can hear it

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Inspire
You inspire me
Higher
You’re taking me
To a strange familiar place
Out of range at home base
Not a trace

Transpire
A higher me
On fire
Feel heat in me
In a strange familiar place
Out of range at home base
Not a trace

To inspire you
Live wire
Connection true
To a strange familiar place
Out of range at home base
Not a trace

bookmark_borderThe Moral of the Story

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Did you every question “skin the cat”
What’s up with that?
Take your hand and circle round
Ashes, ashes fall down
… Jack fell down
And broke his crown
Sorry
What’s the moral of the story
Really?
Look at me
Still mortal
Full of mortality
More totality

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
If this doesn’t satisfy
Your 3rd or middle
Eye
I wonder why

If I can’t justify
Playing second fiddle
I…
Wonder why

I’m going in so deep
My soul starts to seep
And ooze
With more than enough to lose

bookmark_borderQuick Logic

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
IF you say “there’s no way out!”
How did we ever get in?
If you say “there’s know way out!”
Where did we ever get in?
Sometimes the air is thick
With an error of logic
Think quick!

If you say “there’s no new way”
How did we ever get on?
If you say “there’s no knew way”
How did we get it on?
Sometimes the air is thick
With an error of logic
Think quick!

If you say “care for no one”
How did we ever get known?
If you say “don’t care no, none”
Victory is never won/one
Sometimes the air is thick
With an error of logic
Think quick!

LYRICS
Till the wind stops blowing
Till the leaves stop falling
There’s growing in knowing
The future is coming
The present of loving the present
Resident of a birth on Earth

Till the sun stops shinning
Till the moon stops rising
There’s growing in knowing
The future is coming
The present of loving the present
Resident of a birth on Earth

Till the world stops spinning
Till the sky stops crying
There’s growing in knowing
The future is coming
The present of livin’ in the present
Resident of a birth on Earth

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’m wondering
Can we keep wondering
All of those
Will expose
We’ll expose

Wisdom tooth

Like pulling teeth
Why live in grief
Can’t you see
You can be
Uplifting
Dreams drifting

bookmark_borderPriorities

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Say what or it gives
Or nobody lives
Hard to keep priorities straight
When everything is running late
Too late to wait
(Is it too late to wait?)
To give or to take
The bed that we make
Consider the date
Are you doing great?
Surely peace arrives
Saving all our lives

bookmark_borderPut To Bed

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Can we meet face-to-face
Has the brain gone insane
Or is the notion of meathead
Finally put to bed?

Let’s get together
Weather the stormy whether
Forever

Can our human rights embrace
And hatred start to wane
Everything we said
Finally put to bed?

Let’s get together
Weather the stormy whether
Forever

Can we finally get a taste
Of everything we waste
The riot act read
Finally put to bed?

Let’s get together
Weather the stormy whether
Forever

Can we really get some space
To enjoy the human race
Before we’re dead
Finally put to bed?

Let’s get together
Weather the stormy whether
Forever

bookmark_borderLivin’ in Heaven

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Should come as no surprise
Starting to realize
Cut down to size
The devil in the detail
Sold my soul retail
“My way or the highway”?
What a load…
It’s the low road
The high way we foresee
Come quickly
Wrestle me
At the crossroads
Warts of toads
Eyes of newts
I’s of “new it”‘s
Cast the spell
Self-imposed hell
(or)
Livin’ in heaven

bookmark_borderGetting Old

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I don’t know where the times went
Our youth and innocence spent
Mother Goose is cooked
Bother is overlooked
Turn the page on age

If I can be so bold
Growing old is getting old
Mother Goose is cooked
Bother is overlooked
Turn the page on age

Sunrise in the east set in the west
Forgetting your lover is probably best
Move on to the next get on with the rest

I don’t know why your dreams ran dry
Never too late to give ‘er a try
Mother Goose on the loose
Wiggle out of your noose
Turn the page on age

Imagine you learn how to pretend
Sign, seal and then you send
Mother Goose on the loose
Wiggle out of your noose
Turn the page on age

Sunrise in the east set in the west
Forget her is likely best
Get on with the rest
