LYRICS
And, the water rushes in
Will it wash away your sin?
Over your toes towards your nose
I hope you can swim
And, the water rushes in
Of course,
You’re not going to change its course
The water ruses in
I can see it’s past your knee
You should have taken that opportunity to flee
The water rushes in
I hope you can swim
I hope you can pray
At least one more day
I pray, “I’ll obey!”
LYRICS
If you’re a little chicken
Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
Do you think the sky is falling to the ground
All around?
Well, it wasn’t a quiz… ’cause it is
Falling all around
It’s falling to the ground
A million square feet of glass
Does not pass through humans so swell
Oh, well?
If you’re a little chicken
Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
’cause you think the sky is falling
Well, you passed the quiz
’cause it is
It’s falling all around
To the ground
Little chicken little chicken little Chicken Little
A million square feet of glass
A thousand people it could not pass
Asteroid to meteoroid
Enter the atmosphere
Raking fear on anyone near
Oh, dear!

In man's evolution he has created the cities and the motor traffic rumble

But give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle

Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man
I'm an ape, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an ape man

The air pollution is a-foggin' up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an ape man

Though all the promises
Rings and roses
Where did the love go?
With all the missed kisses
We’re building bridges
Where did the love go?
Throughout all of time
Goodness shall outshine
Instead of me and mine
We’re in the hour of our
In the era of our
Era of our hour
Our era hour
Where did the love go? (Right here!)
Though all the promises
Rings and roses
Where did the love go? (It’s right here!)
With all the missed kisses
We’re building bridges
Where did the love go? (It’s right here!)

This song was inspired by one of my first girlfriends, Janet Welch of Clearfield, Pennsylvania. I sat down to write a song about Valentine’s Day and just started playing about love. This is what came out.
We were in high school… passing notes and falling in love. We made what I considered a great bet. She lost the bet; however, before she could fulfill her end of the bargain, she died in a car crash. Does a spirit live on?
You’re a monster
In everything you do
You do, you do
In everything you will
You will, you will
You can’t help
You’re a monster
You’re larger than life
You can play the bass
Like a monster
You can sing
Like nothing
Or, everything
Certainly something
Why did you say nothing?
Like nothing else compares
Written in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Digital, 1-track stereo, extemporaneous recording. This song was inspired by friend Rick Reinhart calling me a monster (in a good way.) It made me think of my analogy the “Friendly Dragon”. A friendly dragon walked into the main street street of a village. The people on the left side of the street saw him and started screaming in terror. When the dragon turned to comfort the paniced people, his tail swung around and destroyed the right side of the village. Moral: be careful with your power even if your intentions are good.

LYRICS
It’s been real
But, I’ll see you later (later)
Time to feel
Best is better (better)
’cause I booked a trip
And, I’m flying on Astral Airlines
A pleasant jaunt
With no penalties or fines
If you want to… bring your baggage
You’ll welcome to bring it along
But, it will be less savage
If you just pack your heart with a song
Embrace
LYRICS
If you’re having trouble finding a trace
Of humane in the human race
What’s you really need’s an embrace
Come to me
I will come to you
Put our arms around each other…
Put our arms around each other
For at least a minute or two
If you wish war would disarm
You feel the environment sound the alarm
What’s you really need’s to inarm
Be bold told enfold
Please give me a squeeze
If you’re having trouble finding a trace
Of humane in the human race
What’s you really need’s an embrace
