Over the top ridiculous
I’m talking over-the-top
Say, “Way, way, way”
Over-the-top ridiculous
The illustrious us

Believe it or not there’s a social rot
A conspiracy to create conspiracy theory
Clearly, due to the lack of transparency
As I grew up, it was easy to see
Truth in the wisdom my Mama taught me

Eyeball deep in bull$hit
Throwing a tizzy fit
There ain’t no doubt about it
Probably time we own it

Under the bus
Illustrious us
Ill-us-trio-us

The last time opportunity
Had the courtesy of calling on me
Seized the opportunity
Tempted to put the devil out of misery

Like a bull in a china shop
Got the devil by the horns
On top of the world… tippy-top
At the pearly gates an angel adorns

Cross the river? Depends which one She (Lady Luck) picks
Not up $hit crick or the river Styx
In this match, must claim victory
Wrestled with the devil a regained my destiny

I’m getting interference
In the signal to the “All”
Is “The Fall” the inner fear
Transmission of “Man’s Mission”?

Have you heard the dirt
On the men of the Earth/earth

Birthlings in pain
Insane?
I fear there’s no ear in EARth
Can’t seem to hear here
Falling on a deaf ear

Amaze at the ways we fill our days
Blocking the sun out
When will we begin to let the sun in
Lettin’ the shinnin’ sunshine shine in

I see too much debris in the air
I swear
Sense the fear of the smear
In the atmosphere
Stand clear

Too much mean between the dream
Blocking the love out
Time to shine our glean with the scene
Faith in no doubt
(Our faith in no doubt)

Fogged up
Fogged it up

Another year’s glorious end

We’re looking upward to be found
Rotations never slowing down
Going round and round

The logic of God is odd
Living for the approval nod
Selfish expression of sole sacrifice
Sugar and spice and everything nice

Is a supernatural being
Being natural at all?
No touching, hearing or seeing
Are you testing my gall?

Music will sway me to and fro

You take my square peg writer’s block
Out of my head’s round hole
You help pull my soul
With a tinge of ole’ folk rock

ABOUT THE SONG
I was sitting on the wall of the courthouse trying to write this song. No words were coming to the chords I was strumming. After about 45 minutes a lady approached me and said, “Thank you for your music. We were sitting behind you.” Then, she asked if she could give me money.

LYRICS
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

In the morning, come clean from being so mean
In the evening, calm down
Find where the love is found
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Can you explain why you’re causing so much pain
How can you find joy in snatching a baby’s toy?
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Miss “The Grinch That Stole Christmas”?
Don’t you wanna know how large your heart can grow
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Does any brain remain
Certainly none sane
Be sure to save a piece
For understanding love and peace
How hard to persuade
Hate to fade… fade away
(Fade away)

Open up the door lore

You know let’s go go-go
Out the door and take in some more

Weighs just to the mighty

Painting a painting
With a thousand words
Champion debating
Melting down their swords

If you’re going to “go off the deep end”
You’d better go off the deep end
For if you go shallow
You will come to know
Your head is hollow

If shallow is your puddle
And through your life you muddle

Dum de dum de dum dum

Going deep
Deep, deep, deep

A calm comes over me
Naturally, fell the be

Rise with the sunrise
Searching for surprise
High from enterprise
No matter the number of tries

Along with Venus and Mars
Pass between the stars
Far beyond the wars
In the vision that is ours

Over the rainbow
In a place I didn’t know
Letting the mind grow
We harvest what we sow

The more you yearn to learn

Your wealth’s in mental health
The more you go the more you know

The more you give the more live
Can’t take it to the grave

In the quest to pass the past
Observe the future coming fast
Facts are sure to last

Have we all been distracted
Appalled at the way I acted
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”

Do we have “I’s” on both sides of our head
Haven’t heard a word that’s said
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”

Though we can see… walking blindly
Choosing to act unkindly
Did you read the warning label correctly?
“Living life could be deadly”

Better look where you’re going
Or without knowing
You could be gone
Before too long
Better look where you’re going

Watch Out!.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Written at the corner of Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA. When I started writing this song, a police officer that was driving by gave me the “hairy eyeball” instead of paying attention to where he was going. At the same time, a girl was walking across the crosswalk looking at her phone. We almost had one less police officer and one less pedestrian.

From whence one will come, one will go
Heaven, again

It’s so lonely at home without you
Can’t hardly cry myself to sleep
No matter how I weep
I don’t know what to do
When are you coming home
I feel so all alone
Where am I going now?
I’ve got to help her somehow
When is she coming home
When is she?
I’m so lonely
When is she?

Ya did pop the lid… the quirk to pop the cork
Bubbling over
You know how to make the glass overflow
Bubbling over
Finer than the finest wine… fine, fine, fine
Bubbling over
A perfect blend to help hearts mend
Bubbling over
With a love finer than champagne
You’re the champion
Shower our “our”
Love bubbling over our
Happy hour

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

John Kelly.mp3

You know… tap a toe… let it go
Do tell! A jig to keep you well

One too many
Times you’ve said
In a furry
“I wish you dead”
I can see clear
To “out of here”

You know… I’m gone

Maybe I am
Sensitive
To sarcasm
I’d rather live

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
… ’til the hour – 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
Maybe we’ll see something extraordinary?

People standing as if in awe

People standing with dropped jaw
Maybe we’ll see something extraordinary?

From the album A Collection Of Notes

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

Hundred percent chance
Of wearing an avalanche

I’m sure hopin’ you’re wearin’
Mighty big shoes to fill
It won’t be long ’til you’re gone
And, this avalanche could kill

So, choose to donate your shoes
For us to fill them in again
A second chance from this avalanche
And escape the hell of your groundswell

Do you want a burdensome load
To carry to the end of your road?

Do you want to live in “#uck it!”
’till you kick the bucket?

Do you know why “we’re all gonna die”?
Is Promised Land pie-in-the-sky?

Pushing up daisies more than a maybe
From a man to a stardust baby

Everything will yearn to turn
Everybody will churn
Every body everywhere
Everybody every where

They say time The Avenger
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

Did you ever wonder:
How much more you’ll endure?
Do you suppose time is measured, too?

With gravity I see we gravitate
From before to too late
As suggestion, a question:
Why would I want to wait?
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?
Then, perhaps it’s best
To find your kind mind
And, disregard the rest

Does it impact how you lose
5th Amendment lack-of statement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

Paving the road to your bliss

Under the red, white and blue
The deferment of acknowledgement
Won’t grant judgement abatement

I could swear I’ve been duped
The fox is in the white henhouse
Arouse! Fire, fire! There is a fire to douse

Scary clowns slicing and dicing
Half-baked vegetable state fruitcake
On the cake they put icing
To hide all the “knews” that is fake

Scary clowns are now serving
A feast to erase the least
Figure they aren’t deserving
Fatten ’em up to feed the beast

Songwriting on the Brandywine

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

The more I dream
The redeem scene
Obscene come clean
I mean the dream
No longer mean
Loving is keen
Heart is the queen
Mercy is seen

Purveyors of music, song and dance
Let’s give ’em one more chance
Convey what we hear Her say
Mother Nature’s messenger
Know Her… be no stranger
Ensure we endure
It is humanity
… or lack thereof
It’s all about the love
You see — humanity
… or lack thereof

On the track
And the train is bearing down
On the track
Hit us like a rodeo clown

On the track
Time we all took this train back
On the track
Here we go! Citizens attack!

On track
And there is no turning back
On track
Lightening from our smokestack

Pleeeeeease…
Don’t want to seize

“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
Below the belt
Makes my face melt
Leaving me in awe

Band together and join THE RESISTANCE!

In light we fight with all our might
As we fight right to slight what might
Holding dear to fear as black as night
The sword of justice adjusts us down to height

Please roll me over when it’s over
I don’t want to see
Cover me with your shield
Blind is what I’ll be

Alas, I wish I would have grasp this on the first pass
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
A little bit of loving makes you a lot stronger
Give a little bit and love to live

After what id did you should have hid
But no! Super ego left the building
You know?
Look at your feet stuck in conceit
Conceit defeat
Change your goal to the heart in your soul
Forward roll
Into freefall
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!
Let go of your ego
Ego freefall
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!
Electrical juice in cutting it loose
Eeeeee! Go, Tistical!
Freefall
Ego
Tistical, let go

Naked truth
Starts with your birthday suit
The essence of your root
Nothing else to boot
Soothsayer soul’s sleuth
Wearing the naked truth
Naked truth

Naked truth
Is more than just skin deep
Into your soul it will seep
An existential leap
Superhero out of the phone booth
In you naked truth
Naked truth

Rocking Out on the Rock

LYRICS
Almost rock off my rock
When I rock
Even when on solid rock
I rock the rock
Solid rock
Almost rock off my rock
When I rock

Take stock
In our foundation
Mental stimulation
Physical stimulation
Spiritual stimulation
Almost rock off my rock
When I rock

Pluck that string
Make it sing
Rock that thing
Now, keep it going
Almost rock off my rock
When I rock

Like the Rock of Gibraltar
A boulder! A Rocker!
Talk talk
Walk walk
Rock!

LYRICS
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

Screeching bird
How absurd
Screeching for days
About changing ways
Ours not hers

Relentless bird
How absurd
Acts as if no one heard
Never occurred?

Has anyone heard
From the silent bird
Let’s look in the giblets
