Mark 1:15

Posted on April 7, 2017 by admin

“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near.”

LYRICS
Any way to say if you’ll be here today
Any way to know when you’re going to go?
We made the bed we’re going to sleep in
Our best friends and closest of kin

Will I sense that my time has come
Give me a chance before I’ve come undone
Rather dance with crazies then pushing up daisies
All too soon we’re howling at the moon
Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death
Not choosing the path of the devil’s wrath
If She’s calling me to the Promised Land
When it’s time to come home, I understand

The Sky’s Eyes

Posted on April 7, 2017April 13, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
The sky’s eyes cry
The eyes of the sky cry
Raining tears of joy
Going to wash and dry
Mother Nature’s toy
Man can try as he can
But he can’t begin
To comprehend
The need to cleanse and mend
Don’t take the bait
To self-annihilate
Quick before it’s too late
Self-inflicted wound
Again and again
Self-inflicted wound
’till you turn your mound
Into a mountain
Again and again
Self-annihilation nation
Desolation Boulevard
Runnin’ through your backyard
Traffic jam of fossil fuel fools
They say they saw the sign, “Humanity, USA — Left”
So they turned around and went home alone
Bye-bye
The sky’s eyes cry
Bye-bye
The eyes of the sky cry
Bye-bye

LYRICS
You showing me your hospitality
You’re giving faith in all humanity
Nothing can go wrong
When you’re in the song
It won’t be long

I like your attitude
Love your gratitude
You’re showin’ me
Serenity
Serendipity
The serenity of serendipity

You’re glowing… the (I’ll)luminosity
You’re growing from the generosity
Everything is all right
When of you I write
Carries us through the night

Blues Away

Posted on April 6, 2017April 6, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
If you’re feelin’ a ‘lil blue
I’ve the remedy just for you
The blues will take your blues away
Bluebird singin’ about a sunny day
Sunny days are on your way

If a black cloud follows you around
Don’t let it ever let it get you down
Ear to the earth and feel the sound
Soon enough your song will be found

If a shadow follows you
Something you can do
To your heart be true
Shine the point-of-view

LYRICS
I really don’t know
Why ya wanna go so low
Shouldn’t we give high a try
Take my hand and learn to fly
Air thins into heaven… into the heavens
We’re seeing the show
Your reap, your sow
Whoa… oh, oh, oh
I really don’t know
But what the hey, hey!

Air is thin in heaven

Düsseldorf

Posted on April 4, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
A dude in Düsseldorf wielding and axe
Orlando, Bowling Green and other lax facts
We call these terrorist attacks?
We call these…
Oh, Lord, please
Woods through the trees
Watching hell freeze…
Over
Discover getting closer to over
Try to bend
The End?
Make no mistake
It might break
A machete at the Leuve
Messing with the groove
Bomb the Boston Marathon
The list goes on and on
Sandy Hook we mistook
Virginia Tech… what the heck?
Colorado… we don’t know
South Carolina… na, na, na

Enough Blue

Posted on April 4, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Partly cloudy
Just enough blue
Let’s the sun through
A pretty day in the city
A great day in America
The children sing, “La, la, la”
A warm breeze
Turns thoughts like these
Into life’s keys
A glimpse of you
In the rearview
Are you coming to?
A pretty day in the city
A great day in America
The children sing, “La, la, la”

Larger Than Life

Posted on April 2, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Is this going to be big
Is it going to be epic
Quick, cut to the quick
Big… large?
Who’s in charge?
Don’t want to be seasick
Got to cut to the quick
Is it going to be big… is it going to be epic
It looks like this is going to be epic
Dig… dig deep… is it going to be big? Dig!
Is it going to be XXL… who’s in charge?
Who’s in charge to be in charge
Cut to the quick, quick!
Will you please appease and cut to the quick, quick
It seems the seams of the dreams have come un-stitched
Reincarnation itch
Is it a bitch?
We can do better
The fact of the matter… it matters, in fact, we can do better
It seems the seams seep reality… for me… you and me… we… reality

Envision

Posted on April 1, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
If we envision the vision
Of what we want to do
Envision the vision is mission
To make the dream come true

If we just tune our attitude
From be flat (Bb) to see natural (C♮)
There will be enough soul food
To satisfy us all

If we just take the time
To see the reason in the rhyme
It will be natural (B♮) to see sharp (C#)
Floating like a butterfly… happy as a lark

Live it in your mind’s eye
From slow motion into overdrive
It’s easy to give ‘er a try
Delivers the reason for being alive

Run ’round The Sun

Posted on March 31, 2017March 31, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Suckling the nipples of the Milky Way
Singing spirituals of a better day
Through the nectar of stardust, we weigh
Through the dust to dust, we will return someday

A snake eating it’s own tail
Talk about an epic fail
Want to write a better tale
Into the galaxy we sail

Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a blackhole and sucked up inside her
Making more mortality a blur (more mortality)

Just for fun run ’round the sun
As we make our way
So our mass may pass
Into the future past

Run ’round The Sun.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG

To say “we are stardust” may be a cliche, but it’s an undeniable fact that most of the essential elements of life are made in stars.

“For the first time, we can now study the distribution of elements across our Galaxy,” says Sten Hasselquist of New Mexico State University. “The elements we measure include the atoms that make up 97% of the mass of the human body.”

The new results come from a catalog of more than 150,000 stars; for each star, it includes the amount of each of almost two dozen chemical elements. The new catalog includes all of the so-called “CHNOPS elements” – carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur – known to be the building blocks of all life on Earth. This is the first time that measurements of all of the CHNOPS elements have been made for such a large number of stars.

Loom Boom

Posted on March 29, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
Loom BOOM!
What was it that you wanted?
Make room
Egos are over flaunted
The lowering of the boom
Can happen none to soon
The more I realize
The less the surprise

Loom BOOM! What is it you want to do?
Got broom… is it time to clean the zoo?
Loom BOOM! Where is it you want to go?
Zoom zoom… round and round if you don’t know
Loom BOOM! Who is it you want to see?
Soul groom… what it is that I can be
Loom BOOM! When is it you want to start?
Doom boom… let’s blow if up with our heart

A pinprick in the night
A sliver of starlight
Then quick… with the millionth pinprick
Can’t count all the lights in sight
You know… when the horizon starts to glow
It won’t be long till dawn’s daylight
You know your star is rising
Cock’s crow… sunrise… good morning
Good news: good knews
Is coming our way
Who knows… no no’s

Permit To Carry

Posted on March 26, 2017March 29, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
I got a permit to carry my axe
Now going out and have some attacks
Allowed to sing and dance some, too
Now the question is, “How about you?”
Got your permit?
We’ll get lit!
Got your permit?
Let’s get lit!
Got your permit?
Come get lit!
Got your permit?
Get you permit
You better make it quick

Do some magic that’s really slick
Rabbit from a hat… or slight-of-hand trick
I might recite while fire juggling
Thespian, asked again, “Are you acting?”

I might read what I write
Then play it right into the night
Draw with chalk on the sidewalk
Now I’ve a permit, they can’t balk
Got your permit?
We’ll get lit!
Got your permit
Let’s get lit!
Got your permit?
Get you permit
You better make it quick

In A Mind

In A Mind.mp3

LYRICS
In a mind down in the gutter
Pick it up and feel better
Being kind sure does matter
Me as debtee or debtor?
Waiting at the pearly gates
Don’t wanna be a faster regretter
Is my will free or is it fate’s
Name in The book letter-for-letter?

In line on their judgement day
Will I be searching for words to say
Don’t want it all to end that way
Want to go feet first… no debts to pay

On the fence at heaven’s gate
Don’t want to teeter ‘fore St. Peter
Repent offense ‘fore it’s too late
Wanna be in time with the master’s meter
[Sir Vent your servant]
