LYRICS
Back in the day
You could get your jolly
(Riding) on the trolley
Now they say
It doesn’t go this way
Tracks in disarray
Leaving the traveler in dismay
Ohhh… man’s folly
Off the tracks?
Better check your facts
None-the less… trackless
Never-the-less… trackless

Back in the day
You could gain some sane
(Riding) on the train
Now they say
It doesn’t go this way
Tracks in disarray
Leaving the traveler in dismay
Ohhh… man’s insane
Off the tracks?
Better check your facts
None-the less… trackless
Never-the-less… trackless

Ohhh… man’s folly
Did away with the trolley
Ohhh… man’s insane
Ain’t no riding the train

LYRICS
Encircled by the deepest purple
In fact, black
As hellfire rains down
Reigns all around
That whitelion inside of you
Comes roaring through
While angels are cast from heaven
The sprouting of demons is a fore-given
And at the very end
When the messenger they send
Has no ear to lend….

LYRICS
A million and one loves
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway
And a heart or two, too
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway
Realize
Heaven is on Earth
Birth in paradise
Heaven on Earth
Birth
The smile of a baby
Or little ole lady
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway
Stand up comedy shtick
Or a bit of ole slapstick
What the world needs today
Is more than oneway

To testify

bookmark_borderGoing The Distance

LYRICS
If it’s too far to go
Well, I just don’t know
’cause if you stay here
I won’t be near
I’ve got to go the extra mile
Whistling all the while
Then, it’s never too far
From being where you are

No matter the distance
Try to keep that smile
Won’t be sitting on the fence
Or shadow of the sundial
If it’s getting hard to hear
What I have to say
’cause you’re getting farther from here…
… as here is on our way

LYRICS
Then this revelation
Came crashing in
Like a tree
Through your roof
Or to your face
A hoof
Realization of the revelation
Came easy
Even if I felt
A little queasy
This revelation came crashing in
Like police
Through the door
Evidence… you need more?
In fact, Godsmacked
I see the light
Alright

LYRICS
I don’t know, Son
Better check your gun
Can’t wear the holster no more
… better check it at the door
In order to bolster
Our atmosphere of fun

I don’t know, Son
Better check your gun
No need for bullets for sure
… better check it at the door
Ensure less regrets
No need for “on the run”

2nd Amendment under siege
Oh, Lord, help me please
Try n’ figure wants from needs
Oh, Lord, help us please

Summertime rhyme
Finding out
’bout sweat and grime
Ohhhh it’s time
for the summertime rhyme
Sing and shout

Still I’ll play
Through the heat of day
It’s alright
IF it’s cool tonight
Feels just right
For music’s insight

LYRICS
Wondering if it’s a given
All dogs go to heaven
Wondering what they’ll be sniffin’
Heard it smells in hell
But for heaven as well?
If you know the aroma, do tell

And their God you can not see
Her scent is a mystery
No sound for the ear to hear
Her scent escapes me
Certainly can’t touch much
Her scent is odor free
And your taste goes to waste
Her scent is a mystery

A song about the dogma of dogma… does your god “exist”?

Help me make it spill

Half empty

Half full
Optimistically
The optimist in me

Half full
Fill the heart completely
Fill the heart until…
Mine’s got room to fulfill
Help me make it spill

LYRICS
What do you mean “we don’t have much time”?
The last thing she said to me is
“We don’t have much time”
When it comes to getting the message out
Don’t know how loud I can shout!
Wipe the grime from my voice
“We don’t have much time!”
But we’ve got choice
Adapt or be inept
In an adapt
In and adapt
Fast track
Be adapted to embedded?
Don’t let me… down
Don’t let me 6 feet down
You got me
Stymied
Stymie me’d

LYRICS
First
You bite the hand that feeds you
Then
You wonder wonder why
Next
In spite
The nose on your face
You cut and pry
Oh why
Hysteria over mania?
Depression: Die
Oh why
Diarrhea of the speech
For hate reach
Third
Still more absurd
You spew
You do
You spew
The word
Never to be heard
