LYRICS
What is it called when you score a lucky find
When it’s evolved and more likely to be kind
When you smile like that
I just can’t hold back
What is involved when you perform a simple act
When it’s resolved and you inform the basic fact
When you smile like that
I just can’t hold back
What is it called when you do a good deed
Homeless housed and to the hungry feed
When you smile like that
I just can’t hold back

LYRICS
Between the ground a blue
Is you
As long as green can be seen
You do
The ability to see
Thank you dearly
If you’re turning red
From humiliation
Please do not dread
Your illumination
The ability to see
Thank you dearly
If you’re seeing red
From aggravation
At least you’re not dead
In Hell’s incarceration
The ability to see
Thank you dearly
When I’m covered up and all is black
I hope there’s still a chance of coming back
The ability to see
Thank you dearly

LYRICS
Winds like a monsoon
Blowing through
Under a bad moon
Impacting you
For those that do not yield
Level the playing field
Truly a magnificent breeze
Not every day you feel one of these
Windy like a monsoon
Minds lie a baboon
Sheer sure could blow the man down
Replace the halo with a thorny crown

LYRICS
Get of bed!
The newsman said:
“There’s gotta be more than 50 dead”
Number of injured is more than a few
Death too could rise if they don’t pull through
When it doesn’t add up like it’s suppose to
(Then, what can you do?)
Massive militant moron mob to the right
An enormous ignorant left pick a fight
A census of us (U.S.)… counting all day and all of the night
A pollster’s nightmarish view
Will America’s will pull through?
When it doesn’t add up like it’s suppose to
(Then, what can you do?)

LYRICS
Love is coming
She’s on the wing
That which we seek
Is on the street
Onto our feet
Desire and seek
Love is coming
Listen to her sing
All that we want
Is within reach
Start up the chant
Utter the speech
Love is listening
She’s on the wing

LYRICS
Stepped out my door today
Now I’m on my way
Gonna sway in the foray
Headed into town
To see what light can be found
Alright! It’s shining down

Spread your array
Mirror reflect
You’re the display
Of intellect
Do you see humanity?

LYRICS
We’re in need of a super secret agent
Free us from the clutches of the moment
Save us from our self-destruction
Our institution of confusion
Some super-sleuth
TO uncover the truth
A super hero
To return to zero
Reset?
Not Yet!
Call the Whitehouse. Call the President.
Man or mouse strength be lent
Know what I mean
Ring up the Queen
Some super-sleuth
TO uncover the truth
A super hero
To return to zero
Reset?
You bet!

LYRICS
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!
Can a color be ugly
Let’s look and see
Are your guts pretty
As pretty as can be
Have you ever looked within your skin
What are the tales of your entrails
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!
How can you suggest
A color’s the ugliest
If you don’t mind
Being color blind
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!
Look inside and see what you see
Are your guts pretty
As pretty as can be
Opaque couché
En Garde! Touché!

The song is about a study of the ugliest color: “The agency GfK asked a thousand smokers which colour they found most visually offensive, with a view to covering cigarette packets with it. Pantone 448C, or opaque couché came out top. Respondents associated the colour with “dirty”, “death”, and “tar”.” Well, before you call a color ugly, look at the color of your insides.

Won’t you
Or can’t you
Give love a chance
If you want your life to be won
Then come on, come on! Let’s run
With a glistening glance

Give love a chance
Could you
Or would you
Give love a chance
It will thrill you
Give love a chance

Hmmm… I was approached by another GOOD cop today. That makes two… now, I don’t know what to do. How do you write a song about good cops? This is virgin territory for me. The working title is Peoplesmith. A “smith” is an artisan or craftsman. A goldsmith is a metalworker who specializes in working with gold and other precious metals. A Peoplesmith is a craftsman that works with people.

Phase her with a taser
Make ’em run from your gun
Guillotine’s razor
If ya catch ’em havin’ fun
So, ya think might makes right?

Whack her with a blackjack
Treat ’em rough n’ handcuff
No cutting slack
Or “call your bluff” stuff
So, ya think might makes right?

Some misconduct #uck
All your rounds are spent
Hit the deck, cover, duck!
So, ya think might makes right?

LYRICS
If I could be still
For a moment… I will
I could try
To figure out why
Watch the wold fly by
Until I get my fill
Why do we kill freewill
My, oh, my! Deep breath…. *sigh*
Not too introspective
Try to gain perspective
Sit and wonder why
The love does die
Chorus
Maybe at last
I could grab a grasp
Go back to moving fast
By-pass the time lapse
