December Snow

So, you know…
When we witness the Lord sow snow
See a glimpse of beauty
Ohhhh…
Snow
Turn the dark to bright
Absorb the sound
Reflect the light
Peace is found
Clinging tight
So, Lord, sow snow!
Ohhh….
Snow
Looking back at my track
Into the virgin snow I go
So, Lord, sow snow
Ohhh…
Snow
Let the crystals flow
Ohhh…
Snow

Hey! Hey!

OK? OK!
Hey? Hey! This day
Feed the donkey

Sure thing to shake your…

Let it roll
End the battle

May the mirthful

Self-mockery”
Join the band

Hey, hey, hey

What the hell?
Clear-as-a-bell
See-saw
Teeter tottering
On the brink
Civil-annihilation
Humanitarian
Starvation
Historian
Degradation
Can I count on you
To lean into
Terrestrial realization
Down to earth birth
Singing earthlings
Sky blue blues
They say
They went away
Turned gray

Crawl out of the fright
Crawl in into the light
Walk out of the night
Talk of the found light

LYRICS
Walking down the street
Head buried deep
Shedding all mystique
Into the crosswalk creep
Really not that far
From being hit by a car
Oblivious
To all of us

Before you end up old
Come out of your own world
Before you end up dead
Listen to what you said

How come you’re in the midst of Vietnam
Lost calm… a pig slaughtered… turned to ham
Singing the Napalm Psalm Song
Head in the sand for how long?
Do you think we might
See the new day’s light?

LYRICS
Welcome to the air
My Dear
Though I know not how you breath
Yet, it’s clear you’re here
So, now I know
My eyes to believe
How the scales fit your hips
On the other hand
How to understand
You’ve hands and lips?
How can we meet
How can we complete compete
With survival
Of all
As the fittest
At best
Our quest
To be we
(Oui, oui)

Will you be my Mayan mermaid
And, I’ll try to be your humane human man?
Maid/made please don’t clean my memory
Of what my third-eye can see

From the album R.R. Crossing

LYRICS
St. Dennis Fair
Been there?
St. Dennis Fair
Are you, too?

A stilt walking musician
Said, “I’ll meet you there.”
Where a larger than life
Ferris wheel
Became real
Talk about zeal
To the beat
IN the summer heat
Hot girls hot
In their tube-tops
Trying not
To run from cops
If it starts to rain
Will we remain
In your stride
On the ride
Going roundabout
Guys shout
Gals scream
Living the dream

LYRICS
Though people may scoff
Truth they can’t con
Wax on
Wax off
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues

Gonna find that buzz
Make it was
Gonna grind that hum
’till pure when done
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues

Come on! Fix the mix
Give balance a chance
A lil’ more keys
If you please
We’ll let the bass
Melt your face
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues

To try and understand
Why we can’t get together
Why never say never?

A snowman with a suntan
What makes it oh so wrong
Or an alligator with a sunbather
It’s a one-sided savor

When a hawk comes a bluejay’s way
Is squawking a bird’s song
Give some candy to a baby
The survivor is no maybe

Will I ratify
The rat and you will have to do that, too
Will you testify

Here’s a list:
Does space exist?
Is the thought odd
Of sensing God?
Then how on Earth… or above…
Can I say, “God is love”?
… as simple as that?
You mean it doesn’t have to be so complicated
… as simple as that?

Imagine this…
Add it to the list:
Frictionless
You’re in space and just like that — SNAP!
Your tether goes snap
My suggestion:
Stick with friction
Friction saves your life every time it rains
Without friction the rain would go right through our brains!
Thus, avoid frictionless
… as simple as that?
You mean it doesn’t have to be so complicated
… as simple as that?

Here comes a massive monsoon
Prepare to take a ride
On the mountain’s mudslide

Another psychopathic hurricane
I am whipped, beatin’ and slammed
Don’t know if I’m going home?

Try to cut loose
The caboose
Chasing this train in vain
’cause Conductor, I checked and re-checked our vector
Why chase the train in vain
Off the tracks
No come-backs
This train is runaway
Wouldn’t you say?
On a runaway symphony
Better alert the engine-ear
Ya better stand clear
It’s out-of-control… we’re all… out-of-control
In fact, Conductor,
It’s sounding more and more
Like Rock n’ Roll
… ain’t that classical at all

The End of the line is a mighty fine line
They say you don’t want to cross
This ain’t no coin toss
They say you don’t want to take any chances
’cause there are no seconds
Minutes, days, years
No more tears…
No more joys…
No more noise
No, no more more
No, no train will remain

Circles found
A life’s cycle

Reach The End

The playground
We have found
Is the instance
Of existence

Christmas Candle Light

LYRICS
There’s a way
A cold day
Gets the season
Underway
Then, the glow
Sunshine in the window
Participant in the radiant
With warmth, come to know

The leaves left
Leaving in the light
Shadow’s theft
Looming is the night
Afterglow
Lighting candles in a row
Participant in the radiant
With warmth come to know

If time must transpire
Might as well, light a fire
Participants in the radiance
If time must transpire
By the light of the fire
By a candle light’s glow
With warmth come to know

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

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

Have I got that right

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

Take your marbles and go home
Face your problems all alone
When your back in the zone
Feel free to pick up the phone

As others to you, too… be kind

Brain gone lame

Fosters faith in humanity

Poison lace

Fall from grace
Your worst ill?

Forgiveness

First confess
Then, comes bliss
As the irony comes to me
Fosters faith in humanity

Better get out of there

To nail nail-biting bone-chilling

Went from a goofy spooky

One of the pigs
Built his house of twigs
When the wolf came around
He blew it down

But, I will not let you in
Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
Yes, I will call your bluff
Go ahead and huff and puff

Another pig
For his britches too big
When that wolf came around
He blew ’em down

Now, this little pig
Learned to dig, dig, dig
And, when you’re down below
Don’t care how much you blow

Though no one seems to take note
Living their life in the rote
Their faces looking down
Their faces to the ground
No leaders to be found
Just followers all around
No one seems to notice

Or the luscious us

Does anybody see
The good, the bad, the ugly
Are we all blind to being kind
Does any body care
To give, to live, to share
Have we all our friggin’ mind?

Throwing the bass off base
Rhythm guitar hasn’t gotten that far

At some traditional ball
Um, a… samba, foxtrot… I think not
Missed a beat. Admit defeat.

When face-to-face with death
Is your life defeat
Has it depth or breadth?

And, does it make you feel good
Can you get to sleep in the evening
Does it leave your brain burning
Of should of what you could

Swallowing grief
Once we’re born
Will we ever learn

Run them ’round in circles
Jump off the path
To steer clear of their wrath
Leap of faith. Believe in miracles?

If it reigns brains
With a drought of doubt
We might survive
Being alive

Or do you wear it on your sleeve

Or live what you believe

Can’t retrieve

Then, we leave

Memory’s wrung
Tip of my tongue
Surely, it’ll come to me
I try to spy
With my 3rd eye
Now, it’s coming to me
Something catchy
Wasn’t trendy
Any memory
Where could you be

Your place or mine
Draw the line
All the time
They combine
You mean we are on the same team?
All the time
They combine

Call it home
You’re not alone
Since my birth
It’s been Earth
You mean we are on the same team?
Since my birth
It’s been Earth

You mean we are on the same team?
Being one of the human beings
We mean
Human team
Same team

As the skyline of the horizon
Paints a fine line… night into dawn

Is it really clear
Are you here?
Will the mass of your matter
Really matter
Flatter
Flatter your dimension
Into 2-D
Flatter your intention
Oh so Godly
Heavenly

The best thing about tomorrow
You can create what you follow
Imagine the dream
Realize the scene

The bittersweet thing we call today
A memory that will fade away
Into yesterday
So, leave your blues in yesterday
Design the place you’d like to stay
Feelin’ O.K.

To today then to tomorrow
No need to beg or borrow
You’ve lightened my load
Left the blues in yesterday
Saw the light! Forged a new way
Now, we’re on the road

Delight in the light
I am
The Golden Age and platinum
The fate of fatal heavy metal (meddle)
The fate of a fatal fall for all
Get out of the allure
You’re….
Headed into the light
Stars collide
Ride
The gravitational wave
Conserve
Save
Energy for me

ABOUT THE SONG
A song about neutron stars colliding and creating gold, platinum and gravitational waves.

“It’s so beautiful. It’s so beautiful it makes me want to cry. It’s the fulfillment of dozens, hundreds, thousands of people’s efforts, but it’s also the fulfillment of an idea suddenly becoming real,” said Peter Saulson of Syracuse University.

When you take the fun out of humor
Well, it’s just not that funny any more
When you take the laugh out of laughter
… can’t take the joke any further/farther

I learned soon…
Like a lead balloon
But of course…
I had to beat a dead horse

In need of more humor

Truth stranger than fiction
Reality contradiction
When you see the extent of hypocrisy
You’ll say,
No way?!?!?!
That’s too funny

Percolator
Escalator
Envelope pushing instigator
Elope on the continuum ’til later?
Yes, I am
Continue continuum ’til later
I’m a space-time navigator
Percolator escalator
Peculiar escalating
Elevating peculiar
Evolving escalation
’til peculiarity is no rarity
In fact, profanity in normality

A strange thing happened to me on the way to Earth…
Birth

LYRICS
Wonder what’s in the rabbit hole?
Should I be the mole?
Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
Is the goal to find my toll

Pass through the looking glass
Slide to the other side
Here’s not always what it appears
We’re in for a ride

Wonder what is in the rabbit whole?
Do you think the kitchen sink
Wonder what is in the rabbit whole?
Is it in the water that we drink

Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
Wonder if it’s wonderful
Wonder what is in the rabbit hole?
The mirror of my soul?

The sooner we start
The further apart
Out of the dark
Let’s embark
(Out of the dark)

Let’s begin climbin’
See how high we can go
I have a hunch
When we reach the next branch
We can see
Glory
(See the light. All alright.)

Join me
Climb a tree
Let’s see
What’s to see

From above
Scout out love
Send the signal
For all
