LYRICS
Maybe for you it’s numbers
Maybe for you it’s the day of the week
The month or the day
Or the year
The year of the snake
The year of the monkey
Maybe you can see sound
Chromesthesia

Chromesthesia

What if I could hear what you could see
What if you could see what I could hear
Well, we can
And, it’s coming in clear
Just got to tap into the part of the brain
Not insane at the membrane

You can see what you can hear
Chromesthesia

Maybe you’ve got to do a spinal tap
Or some sort-of Buddhist chant
Or maybe you can connect
Just like that

’cause you can see what I hear
And, it’s coming in clear
Sometimes like lines
Other times like fireworks
Sometimes like lines
No one is quite sure how it works
Chromesthesia

Neurological miracle

Here we go
Like a rainbow

LYRICS
Relevant

Relevant
As an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop

It’s time to be big
Big… bigger than this
Bigger than this
A luscious kiss
Able to transcend
Again and again

Time to get relevant
Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop

Relevant

Like an elephant in a China shop
Now, drop
Irreverent in a reverent way
Instead of gone astray
We can band together
As a band
Not, necessarily hand-in-hand
(Staying unique)

Coming relevant
Like an elephant
In a China shop
Now, drop!

bookmark_borderDrawing A Fine Line

LYRICS
There’s a line to your body
We could start with your neck
It feels fine going down your spine
The touch of a feather ever so lightly
Wondering what to expect

Where does the line go?
Follow the flow

Drifting past the small of your back

Where does the line go?
Follow the flow

Maybe we should start with your lips
At the ends, curving up so slightly
To unseal the kiss of a smile
Up past your ear, then veer toward the rear

Where does the line go?
Follow the flow

Who knows… if we start with your nose
Over the ledge of the chin’s edge
Through the passage of the cleavage
And, after all, drifting pass the navel

You’re drawing a fine line
I want to know
Where does it go
Where does it flow

Now that we are hear,
We might as well take advantage of… this opportunity.

The opportunity to see… hear.

Now that we are here,
With hear… I can see. c c c c

corrugated,
perforated,
saturated,
human waste

corrugated,
perforated,
saturated,
with a bad after-taste

rinse it clean,
rinse it clear,
wring the fear,
from the beautiful scene.

corrugated,
perforated,
striated,
through the prism threw.

glistening dew,
upon you,
like a new born pup,
you’re looking up

Am I alert,
To all that is?
Am I aware,
Of what exists?

Subsonic,
Supersonic,
Frequencies,
Infrared,
X-ray,
Why the sky is blue,
All day?

Am I alert,
To all that is?
Am I aware,
Of what exists?

Subterranean,
Angels refrain,
Frequencies,
Of inadequacies,
Infrared,
X-ray,
What happens,
When I pray?

Ring, ring, ring,
“God is calling,
On line # 1.”

“Is it hard to put your finger on,
Everything under the sun?

Or, do you wish you were god?
I hear the jobs pretty hard.

At any rate,
I’ll try to appreciate,
The fate I create.

Ring, ring, ring,
“Calling god,
On line #1.”

Won’t miss you,
If I’m with you.
Sincerely,
Me

Ring, ring, ring,
“Calling god,
On line #1.”

Can’t miss you,
When I’m with you.
Love,

From the album New Found Sound

Take a word,
And, paint a musical landscape,
Atmosphere as canvas,
So, the world can hear,
All of us.

d, ditty, ditty, d,
dum, ditty, ditty, dum,
Or, just hum,
A meledy,
So, the world can see,
The sound in thee.

Supersonic hero in cape,
Flying through space,
Your mouth,
To my ear,
Like baby’s breath,
Coming in clear.

la, lordy, lordy, la,
music can heal ya,
la, lordy, lordy, la,
music can save ya.

Sound wave, yeah!

Around….
Sound.

Not that many,
Places in space,
Can it be found.

Shush, hush….
Listen,
No! Know,
How to make,
Sound,
Vibrate,
Quake,
Gyrate,
Make,
Sound

There are plenty,
Of good reasons,
To create a way,
For the herd,
To have heard.

Shush, hush….
Listen,
No! Know,
How to make,

Vibrate,
Quake,
Gyrate,
Make,
Sound,
Vibrate,
Quake,
Gyrate,
Make,
Create,
Relate,
With new found sound.
(ending on part 3)
Bask in the new found sound.
Take it, take it in,
The new found sound,
Take it, take it in,
Sound all around.

(intro on part 2)
Sound check it out,
Sound check,
Check it out,
Sound,
Check it out.
