This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!
One understands when they’re holding hands
It’s plain for all to see
Two hearts as one under the sun
“I do” for eternity
This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!
She loves his style of courtesy
When it comes to “loving me”
He loves her style — generosity
Spreading smiles… living free
This is love!
This is love!
Who doesn’t know,
This is love!

Hearts opening
Our angel sings
As you exchange the rings

Champagne and presents

What keeps me livin’
This life I’m given

What am I living for?
Just counting out time
To earn another dime?

With reason and rhyme
That’s what I’m living for

Been being to other beings
As she’d be unto herself
Now an undercover angel
Doing well with spirit stealth
Been being to other beings

Doing well with spirit (heaven’s) wealth

Granted eternal health
So, ours soars with the angels
All her children ring their bells

Gotta get back on my feet
By keeping upbeat
Defeat defeat
When my heart’s complete
Maybe if I help the world
Before I get too old
The idea ain’t that bold
Oldest story ever told
No reason. There is no “why?”
We’re all going to die
Will you transcend the sky
Because you decide to try
I’m asking you…
I’m begging you

Can’t hardly cry myself to sleep
No matter how I weep
I don’t know what to do

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly Hangs Head
LYRICS
As he looks to the floor
He can’t take any more
The resident President is an idiot
Fascist, racist, bigot
As he looks to the floor
How much more to endure?
A chief advisor
With a losing score
As he looks to the floor
How much more is in store
Trying to glorify the gore
Has he any clue? … I’m not sure
As he looks to the floor
Should I run for the door
When it rains, it’s going to poor
When he reigns, taking from the poor

Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
Like buffalo over… Man’s in dnager
The cliff is stiff… it will survive
Will there be a human to hang alive?
Stubborn human gas in their own oven
Amazed rats built a maze into their cage
Welcome to the final cliff-hanger
Times couldn’t get more stranger
The cliff is stiff… it will endure
As for humans… not so sure
Top of the food chain through the floor
Kill themselves ’til there are no more
… ’til their our – no more

Still figuring if there’s a deeper meaning
Maybe we’ll see something extraordinary?
A big ta-do about nothing
Firemen with axe in hand
A big ta-do about nothing
Hoping soon I”ll understand

A big ta-do about nothing
People standing with dropped jaw
Maybe we’ll see something extraordinary?

How close are you sitting to the sun
Does it feel so close that it’s got you on the run
Take the leap into questions running deep
If you can talk the talk
You can walk i on the boardwalk
Let your guitar do the talking
Feet dancing… forget the walking
How many tides have been high
Take a guess… go ahead n’ try
Memories you keep of questions running deep
Then, maybe you might know
How many tides have been low
Like the ocean, the questions run deep

The bargains in your basement
Are the toys in your attic
Again and again with disparagement
Enough to cut you to the quick
Chip off the old blockhead
Rest my case… put to bed
If you ask me
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
Really no treat in the heat
Still tryin’ to learn concern
A homicide of the whole inside
Sacrificed soul to the blackhole

And escape the hell of your groundswell

To carry to the end of your road?

Everybody will churn
Every body everywhere
Everybody every where

Will make you a stranger
Foregone unknown into the future
Quick! Capture your soul with a picture
I’m not sure about saving time
The sands of time are too fine
Can’t keep them in an hourglass
Through the glass they pass
If a stitch in time saves nine
What about the tenth?
Are you going to save what’s mine
If so, at what length?
Can you save your life
Be immortality
Can you save your life
Be invincibility

How much more you’ll endure?
Do you suppose time is measured, too?
With gravity I see we gravitate

Take advantage of having weight
Before the liquidation
Before we liquidate
Do you ask the question?

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is near to hear
If no one is around… did it really make a sound?
Can’t see the trees through the forest?

To find your kind mind
And, disregard the rest
ABOUT THE SONG
If you describe someone as whistling in the wind, you mean that they are trying unsuccessfully to change something which cannot be changed.

Would you miss a rising tide
If your whole life was an easy ride
Would you miss catchin’ high tide?
Do you wanna while-away and age
In a cage?

LYRICS
Do you know what I mean
When I sing “floating down stream”?
Behave with the energy wave
… to the sea
Try to keep your head above water
Don’t ever go down for the third time
It really does matter
Living the nursery rhyme
Floating down stream
My body a boat in the dream
Embody “about” in the dream

“Ahh, poor baby. Join the pity party.”
Republican “can but won’t” party
Democratic “erratic” party
Seems that I’m in the majority
Joined the pity party
Bliss is the ignorance of business
Make a profit God damn it! That’s it!
Claim immunity from highway robbery
Place your order… get away with murder
Above the law

Learning the feeling of a complete ass
There’s nothing better than being a beatless sense monger
A little bit of loving makes you a lot stronger
Give a little bit and love to live
Trying not to make the mistake to make the same mistake
Dreaming of being a being being awake
Partake in the song as a beatless sense monger

An existential leap

Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast
How sure is your footing on the precipice of the future
How sure? For sure?
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast
Presently I consider the present a present
The recent present won’t persist
No, it won’t last
Men, grasp it while you can!
Before it passes to past
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast
Did you notice the crowd
It’s loud!
A mad dash to the finish line
3, 2, 1… then, you’re out of time
3, 2, 1…
Then, you’re done
Watching the past go past
And, it’s sure going fast

What the #uck?!?!?!
Walks like a duck
Quacks like a duck
What the #uck?!?!?!
Which hunt? Witch hunt? Which witch?
Does a duck float?
Does a witch gloat?
Maybe the idea is not so remote
Which/witch hunt
Put him to the test
At best
If it grabs you by the ¢unt
To be perfectly blunt….
Which hunt
Witch found
But, will anyone come ’round
To claim him… chance’s slim
Thus, God save us
Which hunt? Witch hunt? Which witch?
The one who hangs ’em out to dry?
Hang ’em high!
Wait! News that’s fake
To be perfectly blunt….

Witch found
But, will anyone come ’round
To claim him… chance’s slim
Thus, God save us
Amen

Conman in the White House
Politician’s a louse
Don’t need to think twice
When it comes to getting lice
Leaving it up to you
Since I don’t know what to do
Global warming warning
What do we need to heed
Spokesman is a hoax, man
I heard the dead men said
Leaving it up to you
Since I don’t know what to do
Bombing babies in cities
Error in the war on terror
Create parents irate
A radical can’t chill

No if? And?
But then?
Can’t be present
At a non-event
It’s too late to wait to wait
Wow! Now? How?
I vow…
Can’t participate
In hurry up and wait
It’s too late to wait to wait
Clock? Tick-tock?
Time stopped
Should I resuscitate
Or hurry up and wait?
It’s too late to wait to wait
Can’t wait to wait

With none of that jazz or classical gas
Nothing too neat but rocks a beat
Flex reflex moving feet from seats

Not top-of-the-pop rubble
But, it might pop your bubble
Reggae’s fine most of the time
But I want a chip off the ole block

Planted on the planet of plenty
A healthy harvest from coast to coast
From see to shining see
On the cusp of being robust
Planet Earth or bust

Hitchhiker of the galaxy

To see the shining see
Like the stars in the heavens
Bringing light to the heathens
Where the end ends beginning begins
Yes, indeed we’re approaching light speed
Out of our vacuum into spacetime continuum

Almost saw a ghost
Lost soul
Should have been toast
Almost saw a ghost
Life’s toll
Nemesis of boast
This is the Nemesis
Why don’t you confess
Your mess
Live like a pig
Now you are a ghost
At most
Body pillage… not so big
This is the Nemesis
Almost saw a ghost
Lost soul
Spirited roast
Almost saw a ghost
Life’s toll
Nemesis of “most”
This is the Nemesis
Almost saw a ghost
Lifeless host
Death on two legs
Almost saw a ghost
Heartless host
The question begs
Who is you Nemesis?
This is your Nemesis

They come from the far left
The omniscient best
They come from the far right
When wrong they fight
Where the middle of the road
Must carry the load
Beyond bizarre
That far?
Might as well be from Madagascar
Do the Republican Can-can dance
Everyone can drop their pants
Do the Foxtrot with the Democrat
Everyone smells like a rat
Stand back!
The pot calling the kettle black
Pound fist!
Racists race to call racists racist
Beyond bizarre
That far?
Might as well be from Madagascar

The cloud is a shroud
Clouding the sun
A veil to curtail
The blue sky run
The wind of change is gonna come
n’ blow ’em back to where they came from
Discover the cloud cover
Blocking the sun
Obscure the pleasure
OF a blue sky run
The wind of change is gonna come
n’ blow ’em back to where they came from
Storm clouds on the horizon
Keep my eyes on
If they don’t fade
Gonna rain on the parade
The wind of change is gonna come
n’ blow ’em back to where they came from
Out from below
The cloud’s shadow
No we’re not done
The blue sky run
The wind of change has come
n’ blew ’em back to where they came from

A most amazing thing
When I started to sing
The animals threw a ball
A bird call went out to all
Butterflies fluttering
Flirting with the wind
Man’s troubles abandoned
In the most amazing way
When I started to play
Critters began to party
Their animal spirits set free
The bird call went out to all
The forest and field yield
As the seventh seal is revealed
Before flora and fauna are forgot
Why not strike while the iron is hot
Start to stop to smell the roses
Watch the wildlife striking poses

Hello! How do you do?
You say, “Beautiful day.”
Sky a lovely blue hue
I say, “Pleased to meet you.”
Have a minute to spare?
Sure love if you would share
You say, “Least I can do.”

And, it makes me cry
’cause I don’t know why
Refute the absolute
Facts make you sigh
And, I don’t know why
Institute of ill repute
A sty in the “I”
And, I don’t know why
Re-route and re-root
Let’s try a new try
And, answer the question why
The self-fulfilling prophecy of humanity
What destiny shall we be?

LYRICS
While tryin’ livin’ the life given
At large
My biggest concern is to discern
Who’s in charge?
Are you ready to believe it
Ready to believe it
Ready to believe it or not
Searchin’ for some relief
From this disbelief
The certainty of this reality
Causing too much grief
A babbling, blabbing, bullying
Commander In Chief
Under a rock a cartoon loon
Was beneath
Are you ready to believe it
Ready to believe it
Ready to believe it or not
Brain rot
This nation’s got
Brain rot
Believe it or not
Believe It Or Not (Music Video).mp4

The sun bears down upon my back
My bare back feels under attack
Humidity is killing thee
Not even clouds shelter me
The sun shines down on all around
No air conditioning to be found
Quick! Before I feel skin peel
Will you help me find the real deal?
Let’s wade into the shade
Nature’s aid heat fade
Just a small bit of a respite
We with a breeze under a tree

I was just sittin’ there
Minding my own business
Tryin’ to write/right a lil’ jig
When out of no where
I said, “What is this….
A man dressed as a pig?”
Wahla la la… dig, dig, dig
Going mental
Being over judgemental
I was just sittin’ there
Minding my own business
Tryin’ to span a jam
When I was approached by a man
I said, “What is this….
A man dressed as a human?”
Wahla la la… I am human
Going mental
Being over judgemental
Obsessive compulsive
Judgemental ill

I don’t know why you’re still bashful
I don’t know why you’re so shy
Can you tell it’s time to come out of you shell
Time to make the choice to raise your voice
Whenever I pass you on the street
You greet like we never did meet
Then, after a short while
You’re wearing the widest smile
I bet if you try to sing
That’d cure just about everything
Then, by chance if you start to dance
You might swing into a new romance

Working all day to collect some pay
More misfortune came my way
Born a blues tune on this day
It ain’t funny
The wind came and blew my money
The wind came and blew my money
The wind came and blew my money away
Hey! No way
Blew it under my feet
Out onto the street
And it made me shutter
Watching if fall into the gutter
Wind, I’m begging you
Please blow me away, too
To a land where we land together
Living happily forever and ever

The last summer vacation
Before moving on
Part of life’s station-to-station
Knowledge is never done
Education’s on summer recess
Prepared to confess
Time is not useless
Let’s start the progress
No vacation from graduation
