Down By The Water

Posted on July 11, 2020July 13, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Find your own bit of water
And mosey down
What in life really matters
When you get down….
Down by the water
In we go
Do we know what matters
Now, we know
Dip in
Dipping
Tip to tip
Dip
When you get down….
Down by the water

To High

Posted on July 11, 2020July 11, 2020 by admin

My head can not stop thinking of you
My bed… all wet from crying for you
Things may never be the same
But, that’s alright
I’m up for the game
On your mark. Get set. Go!
To high from low
Elevate
Levitate
Alleviate
Don’t hesitate
No… don’t hesitate

My head can not stop thinking of you
My bed… all wet from crying for you
Things may never be the same
But, that’s alright
I’m up for the game
On your mark. Get set. Go!
To high from low
Go into the hyper-surface flow
Feel the love circling above?
Let’s go into the hyper-surface flow
Feel the love
Circle above?
Feel the love
Circle above!

Normally

Posted on July 10, 2020July 10, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?
We’re not going back to before
The move to the future in a blur
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?

Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?
The “normal” was a blur
Certainly, on that you concur
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?

Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?
Have you ever noticed the other door
Unless it’s opened are you sure?
Things aren’t normal any more
I’m not sure they ever were?

About Your Whip

Posted on July 10, 2020July 10, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
I took a trip
Without a buggy whip
Money stash
Without coins… no cash
The times are changing
Priorities re-arranging

The data scene
Has no fax machine
Left all alone
With a rotary phone
The times are changing
Priorities re-arranging

Took a horseless carriage
Into the modern age
Learned real fast
The obsolescence of gas
The times are changing
Priorities re-arranging

Mind Meld

Posted on July 9, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
My heart is bleeding
Like a bloody sap
Syrup flowing
To the floor
Adapt to endure
Know more

My mind is melding
The legend of the map
Pieces fitting
No “no more”
Adapt and endure
Know more

My life is seeping
Like a flowing tap
The hops brewing
That’s for sure
Adapt will endure
Know more

Somehow Know-how

Posted on July 8, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
What do you think about it
Now that you’ve pondered on it
What do you think about it now
Wow?!?!
Know-how now

What do you think about it
Now that you’ve wondered on it
What do you think about it now
Wow?!?!
Know-how now
Somehow know-how

What do you think about it
Now that you’ve wandered on it
What do you think about it now
Wow?!?!
Know-how now
Somehow know-how

Now that you’ve thought about it
What do you think about it
Now?

Posted on July 8, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
I’d love to tell you something
You don’t already know
A love spell or something
Magical minstrel show

Too late to start?
Is it ever too late
Heaven can’t wait
Start
Hand on my heart

Take my leave like a tree
And it will grow on you
Give me space so I’ll see
And I will know of you
Please
Will you stay with me
Or will you go crazy?

LYRICS
It’s not that hard
If you want it
Not if you want it
Not if you try
It’s not that hard

You really mean it
Dreams never die

Come true with ease

Not if you save it
You’ll learn to fly

You really mean it
Dreams never die
(’cause) Dreams such as these
Come true with ease

Freedom Box

Posted on July 6, 2020July 6, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Once I started thinking
Outside the freedom box
The cleaning of the clocks
The ships shoved from docks
Freedom box
That ship sailed
Of the failed
Now, it’s all hands on deck
Let’s fix this wreck
Freedom box
Once I started thinking
(Outside the freedom box)
The fears started shrinking
(Outside the freedom box)
Once I started thinking
(Outside the freedom box)
What’s wrong started sinking
(Outside the freedom box)
Once I started thinking
Outside the freedom box
All our bonds and stocks
Outside the freedom box
No more bars and locks
Outside the freedom box
Tumbling of the blocks
Outside the freedom box

A Higher Up

Posted on July 6, 2020July 6, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
What is higher up
The ceiling?
What is higher up
The blue sky?
What is higher up
The feeling?
What is higher up
Give a try
Stand up and cry
“Try a higher up”
Raise your hand
Take a stand
A higher up!
Raise your loving cup
A higher up!
Fire
Higher
Inspire
Higher
Put your hands together
Not a matter
If we can weather the whether
Raise your loving cup
A higher up!

Oh, so infectious

Instant Psychic

Posted on July 1, 2020July 1, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Look into the future
There is no amateur
Look into the future
You can to it… I’m sure
Instant psychic
Look, do you see?
It just became presently
What shall be
Has become
Sure am hoping… it ain’t done
For now,
It happens somehow
For now,
The future’s turning to now
See? It just happened then
See? It just happened again
It’s going to hit me
Right in the “I”
Hope I see tomorrow
Before I die

On With The Show!

Posted on July 1, 2020July 1, 2020 by admin

LYRICS
Put on my helmet
Strap on my chinguard
I’m diving hard
Into the future’s endowment
Strive to stay alive
Till the final curtain falls
Till the final curtain calls
The show must go on
Onto a new dawn
Until knew dawns
The past too thick
With the raving lunatic
Moving onto where the thinking’s sound
And rational is found

Put on my goggles
Put in my ear plugs
They’re pulling out rugs
And pulling mind boggles
[chorus]
