LYRICS
Did you give a little
Did you give a lot
When it comes down to it
Would you rather not?

Chorus
Hey! Hey!
Ya can’t take it with you any way

Did you try n’ help out
Or have too much doubt
Did you utilize time
Or say “it’s all mine”?

Chorus

Did you think a little
Did you think a lot
Have you solved the riddle
Or rather bother not?

LYRICS
If you’re gonna believe what you wanna believe
Then please relieve and give relief to the relief that is life
Raised above the plane
Relevo! To raise! Be sane!
Help put an end to strife

See if you can find out
Where that fact is at
See if you can take in
All that has been
And come to a logical conclusion

For real
Believe what is real
Based on facts more than how you feel
It’s more the real than how you feel

Logical conclusion. Logical infusion.

Pick up your battle axe
Head on to the battle field
Where the reality is found
Of your battle wound

Pay up you due tax
On your illegal yield
Less, when “The Book” is unbound
Your fate will be doomed

Makes your ears ring
Causes throbbing pain
Lack of oxygen to the brain

The road less traveled is more unusual
Such is learned by the stampede of the cruel
Do you see the cruelty of the cruel crowd rule?

Pain and suffering
Obviously misery
Blinding is what I see

If we pick our battles like we pick our nose
Who knows where that goes

Ya might start to run
Ya might start to bleed
It’s no fun
Having to concede

Have we slipped into a rabbit hole
New Age mole… through the looking glass
Does time move pass n’ weigh too fast
Does too fast turn to wayback past

While we have hands to have tome on our hands
Time to let loose on the command and command understand

LYRICS
There’s nothing wrong with searching and searching
As long as your researching is educating
Learn something new ’bout every moment
Startled by the movement
Think I surprised you?
You scared the crap out of me, too
But now that I see you’re just havin’ fun
Fawn on the run

There’s a squirrel lookin’ down at us
Thinking “in too bad taste” to be nuts
Had to agree, wink and nod
We should act like animals instead of God
Takin’ in the moment
Startled by the movement
Think I surprised you?
You scared the crap out of me, too
But now that I see you’re just havin’ fun
Fawn on the run

ABOUT THE SONG
E7sus4 E7 A7
D6 A7 E7sus4

Have you ever been scared of something only to find out there was nothing to fear? Such an instance inspired this song. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something moving. It was only a few feet from me. I could see it was larger than a rabbit… it was larger than a groundhog. It started stumbling and fumbling right toward me. Then, I recognized it was a fawn. It barely knew how to standup and run away.

Written and recorded at Lake Wynonah, Schuylkill County, PA.

Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.

Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.
Ya know it’s a must
To dust
We all fall down
What carnation will you be
For your re-incarnation
Do you have a notion
Of what you’ll be
Will you be Stardust?

Stardust
From whence you came you go

Live on! Never rust!

ABOUT THE SONG
It is about the murder of a Philadelphia artist and musician, Miriam Irene Shelow (aka Starr). The background photo is from the Hubble telescope capturing the furthest human’s have ever seen into space. Some people believe we come from stardust. Some people believe we return to stardust. In Starr’s case, she gained her nickname from being living stardust. Oh, yeah… the animation at the end is NASA’s depiction of the “Big Bang” (also known as the theory to how got here — stardust.)

Here it comes!
Add up the sum of the sum of the sums
Here it comes

Here it comes!
It comes
Will come like a drip, drip, drip
To the tick, tick, tick-tock
Of the clock
Will it walk the walk
Just talk the talk
Talk the walk walk the talk?

Well, do you know
Will it flow
Will it usher in the gusher?
Here it comes!

Here it comes!

Will it rush right out
We’ll we find out
When it’s not quite
It won’t quit
Will it just keep coming like a comet
Through the atmosphere
Do we have something to fear?
’cause here it comes!

Here it comes!

Hope it’s bringing fun
And, then some
’cause there’s nowhere to run
Here it comes!
Like the light of the sun
I yearn that it won’t burn
I am hoping that it will shine so fine
Like a light divine

Here it comes!

Gonna usher in the gusher
Gonna know the flow
It’s about
It’s about to spout
It’s about to spout out
Here it comes!

Give your spirit a cosmic thrust
To begin, just stick your toe in
