Down In Front

LYRICS
Sit down in the front row?
Well, I just don’t know
If you’re going to a show
Then, go, go, go
Stand up for a moment
Like a monument
Stand up and be counted
Addi it up… amounted
You know, mojo?
Get off your seat upon your feet
Get your feet upon your seat
If you’re rocking to the beat
Add heat, heat, heat

Ace High

LYRICS
The candle is burning
As our hearts are yearning
From both ends
Godspeed to learning
Combine with some smiling
The spirit mends
Three kings ace high
Take a sign from the sky
And stop on by
To find out why
The shepherds’ herd
Heard angels on high
Take the sign to answer why

Survival of the fittest
The human race’s race quest
Hard to digest
Self-preservation
Situation frustration
Really for the best…
Is it really for the best?

Three kings ace high
Take a sign from the sky
And stop on by
To find out why
The shepherds’ herd
Heard angels on high
Take the sign to answer why

Impart (On Christmas Day)

LYRICS
Has your gift any lift
What is in your heart
What purpose has your presents use
Impart on Christmas Day
Is there merit in your spirit
Is giving love an art
The message in your passage
Impart on Christmas Day
All make your way
Impart on Christmas Day

Has your season any passion
What is in your heart
What purpose has the present
Impart on Christmas Day
Undergo the mistletoe
I try to do my part
A sign of love from above
Impart on Christmas Day
All make your way
Impart on Christmas Day

Day Of The Daydreamer

LYRICS
Back in the day
Of the daydreamer
Imagine what can
(whatcha can whatcha can)
Imagine while you can
Imagine again
Imagine and then
Imagine it into certain

Back in the day
Atmosphere was so much clearer
For the daydreamer
Back in the day
They say
Easier to get through
Easier to come through
Holds true
For me… how ’bout you?

Coming Apart at the Seems

LYRICS
It seems as though the seems
Are splitting
At the seems
Try not forgetting
The seems
In through the cracks
Slip the dreams
Fronts from backs
So it seems
Goes the seams
In through the split
Slips the light
Overshadows “it” —
The dark of night
Out-of-sight
Inside out
Victorious bout
Light wins the fight
So it seems
Goes the seams
It seems as though the seams
Are ripping at the seems
Keep on letting
The seems
Come to light
On the dreams

Stardust Or Bust

LYRICS
Keep going ’round ’til it’s found
I’ve stopped
Though not on top
I’ll still be spinning 6′ down
(In the ground)
You bet
A slightly shorter
Trip
But the orbit
Hasn’t changed a bit
The daily trip
Shorter a bit
The annual orbit
Same ole’ habit
Going ’round
Just 6′ down
So when I die
If you’d try
When I die…
If you might
A satellite
Would be out-of-sight
Stardust to stardust
(Or BUST!)

Hear It’s Clear

LYRICS
So, this is what we’re waiting for
This moment and not a moment more
Are you really, really
Are you really, really
Sure?

And the sky’s a lovely hue of blue
With the sun reflecting the light that’s you (all of you)
All is clear the here is now
All is here it’s clear it’s now

Anticipate it’s well worth the wait
A vacuum in space void of hate
Are you really, really
Are you really, ready
Participate

An excursion in immersion flow in’
Fill with still yet know in’ move in’
Are you really, really
Are you really, ready
To join in’

Super Heroes

Hey Lone Ranger
Don’t be a stranger
With that silver bullet… POW!
We need you more than ever right now

And crown our ‘hood
With brotherhood
Seein’ from see to shining see
That would be good
Thins as they should
Being from be to shining being

Hey Superman
Can you lend us a hand
With speed of bullet… WOW!
We need you more than ever right now

Political bull$hit, cash cow
We need you more than ever right now

Get Serious

LYRICS
It’s sounding very serious
Are you slightest bit curious
’cause it’s sounding very, very, very serious
Are you nervous
For us?

What’s the purpose
Of all this fuss
What’s the purpose
For all of us

Cause distress
Implied chaos

Disastrous
God, save us!

So serious
Are you curious
Are you nervous
For us?

The Lift

LYRICS
All that runnin’ round
Gonna let it get you down?
Pouting lips resound
Perpetuating frown
Turn around

Take it from an old man
Better smile while you can
Sooner of later our days will end
It’s all a matter of what we do ’til then

Don’t let runnin’ round get you down
Give your mouth’s corners a lift
Turning the frown upside down
As you give you receive the gift
Giving corners the lift

Where The Dark Ends

LYRICS
Hello is anybody in here
Hello is anybody out there
Hello is anybody here

Hello is anybody near
Hello is anybody here

Is there any light in sight
Is there any light insight
At the end of the tunnel
Is there any insight into the light
At the end of the tunnel

At the end of the tunnel
Is it the beginning of the light
Is the end the beginning… is that right
Have I got that right
Beginning of the light
Light insight

Good As Gold

LYRICS
You’re good as gold
Or so I’m told
When your life’s goal
Is growin’ old

When going down the road
If you lighten your load
The toll of the total
Is less brutal
As a matter of fact
You can’t get it back
And, there’s really nothing that you lack

When you reach your golden years
Are you past your friggin’ fears
Are you able to forget
Skeletons in your closet
Are there no more tears
Not a regret
Is your last chapter…
Happily ever-after

Good As Gold.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
