Gloria! Nativity Scene

LYRICS
There’s light at the end…
There’s light at the end…
There’s light at the end of the tunnel

Lord, deliver us from this hell hole

Gloria
Gloria hysteria

Hallelujah, the hell hole is over

You brought light into the world
When “The End” was foretold
Turning meek into bold
Bringing warmth from the cold
Wanting the love to unfold

Here’s a Christmas ditty
Hopefully, something pretty
A gift to you and all your kin

From the country to the city
The dense to the witty
May goodwill come back to you again and again

War Poster

LYRICS
What will man do in the name of the Lord?
What hell will man wreak in the name of God?
No matter how absurd
No matter how odd
No matter how forsaken
Granted, life is taken

Gather round humankind
For some kind
Of Ass embly

Can you tell the mule from the fool
Is the donkey me?

There’s a soldier in the grass
With a bullet in his ass
Take it out, take it out, like a good boy scout

LYRICS
Why do we countdown on New Year’s Eve?
When I think of time, it’s hard to perceive
10,9,8….
Wait!
How much time between now and the end of 13

2013 364 23 59 50, 51, 52….

2014
Know what I mean?

Burst onto the scene
The New Year’s Queen

The first moment
Of the first minute
In a new time rhyme

Feelings.mp3

LYRICS
I like crawling into spaces
I like making funny faces
You like sending out tracers
Attempts at erasers (erasures)

I like writing little songs
I like figuring right from wrong
You like acting too strong
Weighing down hard and long

Who knows maybe faces and song
Will help us all to get along
We could be twice as strong
And, save our human races
… leaving some traces

Ra Part 3.mp3

LYRICS
Fusion
Confusion
Solar energy
The sun
No matter our distortion
Can’t help the synergy
No matter our destruction
Devastation, eradication
Let the light shine
It’ll all be fine
Just let the light shine
We’ll all be fine

Fusion
Confusion
If the nuclear
Is not clear
You’ve got Fusion Confusion

The sun

Ra, ra, ra
God of the sun
Ray, ray, ray
Which either way you say
Ra, ra, ra
Ray, ray, ray
Whichever way you say
Ra, ra
Ray, ray

Golden

Turning the plants on
To being green
The sun
If you know what I mean

Pin Drop.mp3

LYRICS
Quite enough to hear a pin drop
Right before your bubbles pop
If it’s so loud you can’t hear yourself think
Do a mind meld and we’ll link
Let it be found…
You’ve become one with the sound

Quite enough to hear a pin drop
Right before ya blow your top
If you lead a horse to water and can’t make ‘em drink
Give a smile, a hug… a wink
Let it be found…
You’ve come around

ABOUT THIS SONG

Old Fashioned Christmas Songwriting

Old Fashioned Christmas Songwriting

LYRICS
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Ho, ho, ho, hallelujah
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Recipe for a gingerbread house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Stockings hung by the chimney with care
Something about roasting chestnuts there
Do you know
How does the saying go?

Dashing… ore the fields we go
Don’t forget the mistletoe
Do you know
How does the saying go?

We three kings of orient are
Do you see what I see… follow the star
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Rudolph with your nose so bright
With a tail… a tail as long as a kite
Do you know
How does the saying go?
Oh, holy night
May all your Christmases be white
Do you know
How does the saying go?

The water was dripping
Changed state now is forming

With no sign of stopping
Bone chilling

Winter spectacles

Basically alkaline

Basic alkaloid
Filling the void

Basic acid

Acidic

If I did acid…
Like vinegar
Alkaloid I’d…
Basically if I…
Basic basically

If I enclose and expose
Enclose
If I enclose and expose
In tight quarters
And, expose them to each other
Creating the void
Alkaloid, basically

How long would it be
Be… before
They explode
The motherload
Explode
Bass an alkaloid

Distortion Level.mp3

LYRICS
Pardon me,
I hate to interrupt
But, ya see
Please turn the distortion up

With passing years
Escalation of fear
I want to hear
Through distorted ear

Our solution
De-evolution
Through pollution

The irony
Of the social tyranny
Is killing me

The way we inflict our will
Shouts out kill, kill, kill!
