LYRICS
Precariously positioned
Prepared to pounce
Not a pound of mercy
Not even an ounce
Threads of the web
Woven and spun
Sit in lay for the prey
Until it’s done

Feast like a beast
On blood and guts
Dog eat dog released
In a world gone nuts

But for lack of chops
You’d be licking them lots
Pavlov’s rule you would drool
The haves have the have nots

Style: Alternative Rock / Folk

Don’t know if I can put to tune
All of (your) life’s ruin
But it’s coming to me
You help me see
What it means to be

Wont’ forget:
Cherish every moment
Won’t be long
’til it’s gone
Won’t regret
A single moment
Just as long
As I write your song
For you to listen to
Help ease the pain
For yours and you, too
Help staying sane

Don’t know if I can put to tune
All of (your) life’s ruin
But it’s coming to me
You help me see
What it means to be

Written at the corner of High and Market Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA, after two sisters approached me with a request. The one’s son had committed suicide a month prior. Could I play something for him… he liked Led Zeppelin. So, I played a couple Zeppelin songs:

“Throw me a line; If I reach it in time; I’ll meet you up there; Where the path runs straight And high”

“No, cryin’ won’t help you, prayin’ won’t do you no good… All last night sat on the levee and moaned… Thinkin’ ’bout my baby and my happy home”

When I finished, they were both crying. Then they asked, “Can I hug you?” After they left, I wrote this song for her son, Tommy.

If it makes the kids dance
Ya know it stands a chance
If it makes their mama move
Ya know you’re in the groove

If you’re waiting for God-given
When you’re already in heaven
Might be time to explore
Getting out a ‘lil more

Seeing the arms reaching
Knowing they want more
The child’s smile’s teaching
More than I knew before

If they stop you to interrupt
They must know what’s up
Can’t help nut show their feeling
Over what you’re dealing

Getting Out.mp3

Though the water’s clearly clear
Does it look blue to you?
Though the sky’s clearly clear
Does it look blue, too?

Is it clearly clear
Your personal point-of-view
Is relativity a rarity?

Though the days are the same
Are they going past fast
Though the nights are the same
Does it feel like they don’t last

From where you’re at
Does the Earth look flat
The sun going around
From sunup ’til sundown

Hey everybody

What did you bring
Come on
Bring it on
We’ve got a jam upon us
I must confess
A jam upon us

Insurmountable task
I don’t know how to ask

To wants and needs

Once at night

On the eve
Of “find it hard to believe”
I find it surprising
The levels rising
Getting ready
Holding steady
Walking
On water
Does it matter
The state of matter?
Up there floating on air
Or solid ice would be nice
Sink or swim
I’m going
Walking on water
The state of matter
Does it matter?
Noted and state
Walk on water

Got the guitar…
And an extra string
Can’t think of anything
No… nothing
I’m missing
Not missing a thing
I’ve got the guitar
And I’m traveling
No, not missing
… not missing a thing

Have guitar.
Will travel.
Near or fat
It’s all a marvel
Unfurled
6-string wonders of the world

Got the guitar and an extra string
There’s nothing else we need bring
Whenever we move it gives us a chance
Foot off the break and break into dance
Got the guitar and an extra string
Looks like we brought everything
(Sounds like we brought everything)
Taken the chance to dance
Breakout and sing
“Got the guitar and an extra string”

If you want to be a royal pain in the a$$
You’re first in your class
Though I appreciate strife
Evoking life
I’d say enough for today
On your way
Didn’t make an appointment
For a fly in the ointment

To bang my head on cement
That’s where I would have went

Full royal flush
Thus
Pain in the a$$
Alas

If the Earth is flat
How long would that be
From end to The End
How long would that have been
Treading in thick logic
Wading in sick logic
Quick
If you went splat
On an Earth that’s flat
Where would that be at
Would you, too, be
Two dimensional
Or does your rational
Already escape me
You were tow dimensional all
Along… just wasting my song
With sick logic

Spending all your day
Wondering why your days
Slip away
When sleep’s on it’s way
You say, “I’ll pray:
Lord, I’ve done wrong
Didn’t write one damn song”

Spending all your time
Wondering if I’m
Gonna turn out fine
Under fading light
You say… “Pray? I might.
Lord, I’ve done wrong
Didn’t write one damn song”

Spending all your life
Wondering how to avoid strife
When all the while…
You made Ms. Satan your wife
On fallen knees you say
“God, listen to me pray:
Lord, I’ve done wrong
Didn’t write one damn song”

Lordy, Lordy

I’ve been forgiven
Of that sin
I’ve been forgiven
Of my sin
Been forgiven of my wrong
Lord I’ve done written one song

Lord, I’m reckoning
Since you’re wrecking my reckoning
I reckon I’ve been forgiven my sin
As this is one damn long song

I’d like to thank you again
Again and again
For forgivin’ that sin
Lord, I did wrong
But, now I wrote that song
Been forgiven
From heaven

To the depths of mind, dredge
See the light before night

What good’s
Last man standing
Left standing
All alone
If you ask me
I’d rather be
Understanding
Being prone

Watch the underdog
Turn to superman
Lift the fog
So man can

Helping meek and weak
Understand
And, ….

LYRICS
As I’m watching time
Pass into the past
I’m thinking
It’s a shame life doesn’t last
But then I pause…
And think again
Maybe it’s worth rememberin’
Better take it all in
While I can

As I’m wondering if future
Is going to show
I’m thinking
It’s a shame I don’t know
But then I pause…
And think again
Maybe it’s worth rememberin’
Better take it all in
While I can

There’s nothing like being human
(say it again)

Are you my Frankenstein
Doctor of my creation kind?
Brought me too life
And I’m feeling fine
Did you create a monster
Are you sure
You put love in my heart
Right from the start
Did you create a monster
And how far
Out-of-reach
Do you think you are?

You forgot that part?
Putting love in my heart
Did you forget that part
Putting love in my heart

One on the day you’re born
How long
Does it take to learn
To cherish every moment
’til you’re rendered silent
Light from the candle’s either ends
Shines bright on the message it sends

A life unfurled
In a wind whirled
How long does it take to understand
From a fetus curled
’til my dust becomes land

After fulfilling your purpose
Do you feel worthless
What with my time shall I do
Oh, God, I’m asking you
Can you make this servant
Permanent

No matter what you do
The faith I have in you

If it’s all a lie
That’s what I’ll take when I die
If it’s all for real
Then, life’s a real good deal

Are there pro’s and con’s to con
Or are all the pro’s long gone
Are there pro’s and con’s to con
Will your legacy live on and on
Are there pro’s and con’s to con
Or will our faith move on

In a sweet deal
The Queen Be
Gets the honey
But is it real
Could it be
The money’s funny?

Could it be those she’s among?

Might end up getting stung
An ironic sort-of thing
Be-ing the victim
Of a sting
Can you picture being framed
As you wallow in the gallow
What are you going to do
When the executioner is you?

Hey! Wait for me!
I’m just trying to see
What’s ahead… more clearly
Should you have an urge
To build a bridge
Or perhaps swerve
Around a curve

Say, “Wait for me!”
If you’re trying to see
Ahead more clearly
Should we have the urge
To converge
And figure how to yield
At the merge

Hey! Wait for we!
We’re just trying to be
What’s a head… more dearly
… more clearly

Got caught with egg on his face

Eyes may be blue
And blue skies, too
But it’s never blue inside of you
Listening to the birds sing
While wedding bells ring
Loving all life has to bring

Cool pool’s blue hue
Under skies of blue
But it’s never blue inside of you
Watching birds on wing
A the bees join in
Loving all life has to bring

Ohhh… man’s folly

Better check your facts
None-the less… trackless
Never-the-less… trackless

You could gain some sane

The sprouting of demons is a fore-given
And at the very end
When the messenger they send
Has no ear to lend….

Won’t be sitting on the fence
Or shadow of the sundial

Wondering if it’s a given
All dogs go to heaven
Wondering what they’ll be sniffin’
Heard it smells in hell
But for heaven as well?
If you know the aroma, do tell

And their God you can not see
Her scent is a mystery
No sound for the ear to hear
Her scent escapes me
Certainly can’t touch much
Her scent is odor free
And your taste goes to waste
Her scent is a mystery

Wipe the grime from my voice
“We don’t have much time!”
But we’ve got choice
Adapt or be inept
In an adapt
In and adapt
Fast track
Be adapted to embedded?
Don’t let me… down
Don’t let me 6 feet down
You got me
Stymied
Stymie me’d

First
You bite the hand that feeds you
Then
You wonder wonder why
Next
In spite
The nose on your face
You cut and pry
Oh why
Hysteria over mania?
Depression: Die
Oh why
Diarrhea of the speech
For hate reach
Third
Still more absurd
You spew
You do
You spew
The word
Never to be heard

I forgot what I was going to say
Think it had something to do with today?

Trying to say
In a simple way
Tip of the tongue
Then, gone away

No regret if nothing’s said
Take it to the grave… subject dead
Wait! Don’t let me hesitate
’cause I hate “too late”
Dang! Forgot again
What a sin

Like I was going to say
Before it got away…
… I’m trying to say…
Parapraxis is

Be it fact of fiction

What do I have to lose?
The waste of time blues

Earn no dime

In downtime
If it’s all about me
It’s hard to see

Has it been a long time coming
A steep road upon which you’re roaming

Does your day turn gray
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Well’s run dry
Wells up your eye

Does your way go stray
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Knowing you’ll die

Do you say “no way”
Then slip away
Does it make you cry
Never knowing why

Well they say your day
Goes your way
There’s no need to cry
Give’r a try
Giver try

Did you throw the breaker
Is the power on?
’cause you know
The wrong throw
Can be a heartbreaker
Bringing death’s dawn
Is the power on?
They say an itch the wrong way…
They say an inch the wrong way…
Can be a shocking experience
Feeling the essence of voltage
Does away with old age
High voltage
Are you sitting on the breaker thrown/throne
Thorned crown, dust and bone

The answers will surface
And all turns out best
Suffice to say
Good news is on its way

From the day of birth
Home is Earth
’til the day I die
Under Her sky
When skies are grey
On my way
To figure how near
Is “in the clear”

Under clear skies
The “whether” looks good ahead
Under clear skies
Better than being dead

As I walk the land
Try n’ understand
How to increase the value
To you
Maybe with less impact
Spare the whack
Pass the message through
Unto you

Do you even give a damn about the little ones
Would you even shed a care
Is it you you damned with your “said and done’s”
Would you even care to share
Actions speak louder than any words
Be it ploughshares or swords
Indeed, if the deed is due
And do do’s due, too

Do you even give a damn about the eldest ones
Would you even shed a tear
Is it you you damned with your “said and done’s”
And your maker do you fear?

Do you even give a damn about the “here and now”
Do you even care to care
Is it you that damned your future somehow
Would you even share a care?

The Earth moves along
Standing still

Thinking deep
Grasping it more complete
Getting down

Still standing still

Deep thinking
Without blinking
The world turns about
Letting out
Taking in
The world turns about

How can anything to wrong
The Earth moves along

Live with no regret
As the days pass by
Always wonder why?”

May another day
Come our way
And as light
Turns to night
Let us play away

Tripping up time

Is this
A with us

Or agin’ us
A one for all
All for one
Said and done

No band to demand
Enough wife strife
Is your patience wearing thin
’cause there’s only you in your skin
Forgot to brought
A creative jaunt
Or original thought

Exactly
What we’re going for
Precisely

While aloof over roof
Or understanding
Underground

Tunnel bridge

Wases and is’s
Bridge tunnel
Abridge funeral
Tunnel bridge

Going Alone http://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/2018/04/17/going-alone/ Tue, 17 Apr 2018 14:56:02 +0000 http://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/?p=20174 LYRICS
Going alone!
(Are you going alone?)
Into the great uncharted known
… the great charted unknown
Further out than any soul
Ventured to stroll
[Breathing noises]
Breathe out
Breathe in
Far up memory lane
Kind-of hard to explain
If you’ve never been
Again
Is a mere possibility
If you didn’t get to see

What if you do?
What if you do
And I do, too
What if you do
What if you do
And we all do
Unintended consequences
Building walls… building fences
In need of aid
Dismiss the barricade
Won’t miss the enclave, Babe

The way that things are going
All the bowing to the devil
Oh the hearts are owing
Oh the harts are woeing
The evil in the d”evil”
The ill we instill
The way that things are going
All the dancing with the devil
Oh the minds not knowing
Oh the souls are owing
The evil in d”evil”
The ill we instill
Still… holding faith in hope
That there’s not enough rope

Monkey’s Messin’ with the Mission http://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/2018/04/16/monkeys-messin-with-the-mission/ Mon, 16 Apr 2018 18:05:26 +0000 http://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/?p=20162 LYRICS
Monkey’s messing with the mission
Would have rather gone fishing
When you send apes into space
Fools with the fate of the race
Monkey’s messing with the mission
Took the third orbiter ’round the sun
On the run to becoming undone
Leavin’ us prayin’ and wishin’
Monkeys on a mission
Monkey’s messing with the mission

I feel it coming
Mind becoming
Where I’m going
Are we even knowing?
Yet, I feel it in my bones
With indifference to the Jones
Despite the bitchin’ and the moans
I feel it coming
Mind blowing
Where we’re going
On the verge of knowing

Ask You Know Questions? http://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/2018/04/15/ask-you-know-questions/ Sun, 15 Apr 2018 13:42:26 +0000 http://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/?p=20154 LYRICS
Gave up “Flat Earth Society”
When plopped at birth… due to gravity

Tales of chemtrails never fails
To let the light shine through on you

Ask you “know” questions
You tell “know” lies
Comes as no surprise
Did your brain get going
Without you knowing?
Got up and left
Leaving the daft
… leaving no mind behind
(Be kind!)

What do you know about GMO?
So, do you sow your own row?

Amongst a billion reptilian
Give the alien race space

Ask you “know” questions
You tell “know” lies
Comes as no surprise

Love This Place http://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/2018/04/15/love-this-place/ Sun, 15 Apr 2018 13:26:34 +0000 http://idea.membrane.com/songwriter/?p=20150 LYRICS
Spring is in the air
There’s a bounce in your hair
With blooms of sweet perfume
There’s love for us to share
Senses become aware
Flowerchild blossom… and then some
Wall-to-wall carpet of green
Fills the scene
Graced by lavender lace
… love this place

Altitude in attitude
Vibration elevation
A melody session
Full of passion
Pours from the pores
Of what the spring brings
The songbird sings
Whistling words of wisdom
In Her kingdom

Love This Place.mp3
