LYRICS
Is it just me
Or is it getting weird out there
All I can see
Helps me be aware
Not to be feared
But it is weird
The vittles are in the cupboard
The grill is getting hot
We can strike the right chord
Be in the scene… why not?

LYRICS
We fail to see
Flight MH370
Lost to the sea
Or totally cut free?
Maybe abducted by aliens
To be converted from homo sapiens
No longer human beings
They’ve been clipped of their wings
The astral choir sings:
Fly through the sky
Don’t think to sink
Fly, fly, fly
What will the debris field yield?
Is there a conspiracy to conceal?
How can this be for real?
Will love ones be able to deal?

LYRICS
Be careful who you cheat
Or it might be crow you eat
Meet the crow meat
Does it leave a foul taste in your mouth
After you’ve been caught stealing someone else’s wealth?
Caw, caw, caw
In dishonest awe
Caw, caw, caw
Harsh caw for a harsh call
Leviticus warned us
Ya know
Don’t eat crow
You’re absurd
Gonna choke on the bird
Dirty bird
Know what I mean?
“These are the birds you are to regard as unclean” (Leviticus 11:13)
How ya gonna get into heaven eating raven?

LYRICS
When it comes to you
What are you going to do
When it comes to me
It’s easy to see
Whatever’s necessary to get us through
Watch your back
Take up the slack
Fulfill the lack
Get us on track

LYRICS
Have you ever felt the impact
Of an imp act
An imp is a unique creature
With the feature
Of being mischievous
Wouldn’t be wise for us
To consider frivolous
Rather take the impetus
Of the indigenous
“Sharing the same sense of free spirit and enjoyment of all things fun.”
Let’s see what we can get done

Fasten Your Seatbelt Music.mp4
LYRICS
You’d better fasten your seatbelt
Unless you want this impact to be felt
Where so far off the radar
We can’t miss but to hit
The train lacks track
Prepare for your pants to be $#@!
This is it
The main event
This is it
Life savings spent
At the end of the line
Are you doing fine?
Before the end of time
The Last Supper… dine?

LYRICS
Is the thought of not
A scary thought?
Is the thought of not
Having food lewd
Is the thought of not
Having water screwed
Is the thought of not
Having shelter crude
Is the thought of not
A scary thought?

LYRICS
When are you coming home?
It’s been so long
Since we’ve stood strong
Out on your own
Family juggle
Yet, all alone
Struggle
When are you coming home?
I’ve been away
One or too to many day
Time to find my way
Back home to stay
Not crawling
Hovering
In our comfort zone
Oh, Lord, I’m coming home!

LYRICS
If the dismal drama bothers
Be it mother-in-law
Or brothers
If I had my druthers
Forget fixing their flaw
Let relations thaw
It looks like the ref. is calling a penalty
Let’s see
Yes!
I heard ’em shout
“Time out…
’till you confess”
Fess up to the facts
What you’ve done behind our backs
All the horrid attacks

LYRICS
Got me on a string
Doing that up and down thing
I just want to know
Is it yes or is it no
Ya know
I’m not your digital yoyo
You’re acting all slinky
But there’s no building blocks
The way you play… stinky
Here’s to blowing off your socks
Time to dance to pop at the sock hop
Got me on a string
That back and forth thing
Sorry, but no…
I’ve just gotta go

LYRICS
Do you think we’ve had enough
Just too tough to shove any more in your ear
What does it matter if you don’t hear
Crying tears of blood
There’s a flood
Of humanity
Orifice drainage
Brain damage
Preaching to the choir
Falling on deaf ears
If you’ve fears
They’d best be dire
For that’s what we require
Damn, we demand
We demand damn

Conspiracy Theory Music Video.mp4
LYRICS
The conspiracy is in the hypocrisy of society
99% of the population exploiting themselves
99% of the our evolution burns our wealth
The time to take responsibility for me
Started the moment I was born
It shouldn’t take eternity to see
What we burn
Is what we earn
When we’ve burned is all we earned
What we’ve burnt… isn’t
Maybe then… we’ll yearn
For rationality
As our nationality
Unite
Fight
Hypocrisy
Cold turkey
Quit
Hypocrite

LYRICS
If you think
Everything is going fine
Maybe it’s time
You look around
Besides yourself
What can be found?
Did you ever take a minute
To instead of take… give it?
If the stink
Everywhere makes you whine
Perhaps “not fine”
Is time to sound
Bring on your wealth
Be heavenly bound
Like a blink
Every time will be gone
In your eyes
Immortalize in song
Breakout of stealth
Make a sound

LYRICS
Are you ready for a good time?
Come on, share in mine
It’s half past eight
And, we’re running late
Doesn’t matter much
’cause we’re feeling great
Are you ready for a good time?
Come on, share in mine
Forget destiny or even fate
Gonna kick it out at any rate
Use a smile or laugh as bait
Gonna catch a memory… forever recreate
Are you ready for a good time?
Come on, share in mine
When we get on stage
And start to play
We’ll make the most
Of any day
Immediately — without delay
Troubles with Blues simply melt away
Are you ready for a good time?
Come on, share in mine
ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written about a live performance. After getting off stage, a musician that hold in the highest regards came over to me and said, “You sure look like you are having a good time when you perform. It’s infectious.”
