Posted on by admin

LYRICS
When doing your best
Is put to the test
Time to put baby to rest
Prime time
Yes — baby to rest
They say
Don’t ever wake a sleeping baby
No — not maybe

But, I digress
Let’s do our best
To get out of this mess
Get it off our chest
Puttin’ baby to rest
Put the baby to rest

LYRICS
What the hey
We’re on our way
Throw the dice
Move on advice
Will you pass go
I don’t know
Sure hope so

They’re at it again
Returned to begin
The End

Playin’ the game
Won’t be the same
Satisfaction
In competition
Get past the start
Next square… depart
With all your heart

They’re at it again
Returned to begin
The End

LYRICS
What is on your Christmas wish list?

Merry Christmas
Let’s grant your wish
You can do anything you want to do
And, I’ll help you (I’ll do all I can do)

Would you like to give a hand
To your fellow man?
You can!
Would you like to join the band
I’m your man
You can!

Merry Christmas
Let’s grant your wish
You can do anything you want to do
And, I’ll help you (I’ll do all I can do)

Would you like to rehabilitate
Our habitat
I’m up for that
Would you like to join the band
I’m your man
You can!
Sound the alarm
Get up in arms
At least
We can all bear peace
May music sooth our souls
Before the bell tolls

LYRICS
Does your wealth
Cause foot in mouth
Mental health
Heading south
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Does your fame
Cause misfortune
Brain gone lame
Heart out of tune
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Poison lace
Poison pill
Fall from grace
Your worst ill?
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Quite a task
For you to ask
Forgiveness
At a time like this
First confess
Then, comes bliss
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

LYRICS
I have no idea
What’s going on
Is it #1
or just for fun…
Is it #2
I’m asking you
’cause I’ve got no clue

Ave Maria
No idea
What’s going on
Crack of dawn
Dawned on me
Wish I could see
What’s going on?!?!?!

I have no idea
What’s you’re doin’
Am I up front
Or your back door man?
Day of the month
No, needn’t fear
Reinforcements from the rear!

LYRICS
Little lamb
That’s who I am
If you assume wolf’s costume
Then it may accrue you
To think… and think, again

Little lamb…
That who you are?
I wouldn’t go so far
As to mock God’s flock
So please…
Think and think, again

Have you heard
The lamb’s shepherd
To the light
Keeping watch over night
From: the little lamb
Thank you and thanks again

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
As the leaves fall
It’s not that surprising at all
Another year around the sun
Is almost done
By the time we get there
The trees will be bare
Then, they say
It’s due
To start anew

The way the Earth is built
There’s a change to our tilt
The days grow shorter and shorter still
Until it starts to spill
Through the solstice
With all of us

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Went from very exciting
Into freakishly frightening
Are you aware
Run out of there

Do you call this fun?
Run! Run! Run!
Under the gun
Run! Run! Run!
Coming undone
Run! Run! Run!
Are you aware
Better get out of there

Went from really thrilling
To nail nail-biting bone-chilling
Are you aware
Run out of there

Went from a tense situation
Into utter devastation
Are you aware
Run out of there

Went from a goofy spooky
To being cursed unlucky
Are you aware
Run out of there

bookmark_border3 Little Pigs

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Three little pigs and their tales/tails
Little triumphs and epic fails

One of the pigs
Built his house of twigs
When the wolf came around
He blew it down

But, I will not let you in
Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
Yes, I will call your bluff
Go ahead and huff and puff

Another pig
For his britches too big
When that wolf came around
He blew ’em down

Now, this little pig
Learned to dig, dig, dig
And, when you’re down below
Don’t care how much you blow

LYRICS
Candy floss clouds
Overshadow the crowds
Though no one seems to take note
Like ants wearing pants
Oblivious to us
Living their life in the rote

Though no one seems to take note
Living their life in the rote
Their faces looking down
Their faces to the ground
No leaders to be found
Just followers all around
No one seems to notice
The erroneous
Or the luscious us

Does anybody see
The good, the bad, the ugly
Are we all blind to being kind
Does any body care
To give, to live, to share
Have we all our friggin’ mind?

LYRICS
Overheard
Blue Jay, Blackbird
When Red Tail sets sail
You know
The crow squawk
At the sight of a hawk
You know
A murder of crow
Raptor rapture
It’s the real deal
When the Blue Jay squeal
Children — the meal
Next on the menu
Could be you

Though it may sound absurd
I overheard
The word of the bird
The fight of flight
The scrambling of eggs
Tender chicken legs
Birds of a feather
Flock together

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Started off as a normal score
1, 2, 3
As I waited patiently…
4’s no more?

The guy on the drum
Wants to know “how come?”
Throwing the bass off base
Rhythm guitar hasn’t gotten that far
For those who dance, why take a chance?
Really?

Is it a waltz for polka dolts
At some traditional ball
Um, a… samba, foxtrot… I think not
Missed a beat. Admit defeat.
Really

LYRICS
And, does it make you feel good
When you wake-up in the morning
Does it leave your heart yearning
Of could of what you should?

Suddenly get cold feet
When face-to-face with death
Is your life defeat
Has it depth or breadth?

And, does it make you feel good
Can you get to sleep in the evening
Does it leave your brain burning
Of should of what you could

Shuddering disbelief
Swallowing grief
Once we’re born
Will we ever learn

LYRICS
Scout out what it’s about
Then, doubling back
Dream across the stream
Throw ’em off track

It’s the habit of the rabbit
Run them ’round in circles
Jump off the path
To steer clear of their wrath
Leap of faith. Believe in miracles?

If it reigns brains
With a drought of doubt
We might survive
Being alive
