VERSE 1
D Am
I had visions I was in them I was looking into the mirror
Am7 C D
To see a little bit clearer, the rottenness and evil in me
D Am
Fingertips have memories mine can't forget the curves of your body
Am7 C D
And when I feel a bit naughty, I run it up the flagpole and see
Who salutes, but no one ever does
CHORUS
D Am7 C C4 D
I'm not sick but I'm not well, and I'm so hot, cause I'm in hell
VERSE 2
D Am
Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding
Am7 C D
The cretins cloning and feeding, and I don't even own a tv
D Am
Put me in the hospital for nerves and then they had to commit me
Am7 C D
You told them all I was crazy, they cut off my (balls) legs now
I'm an amputee god damn you
CHORUS
D Am7 C C4 D
I'm not sick but I'm not well, and I'm so hot, cause I'm in hell
D Am7 C C4 D
I'm not sick but I'm not well, and it's a sin, to live so well
BRIDGE
A G F/C
I wanna publish 'zines, and rage against machines
F# A
I wanna pierce my tongue, it doesn't hurt, it feels fine
G F/C
The trivial sublime, I'd like to turn off time
D2/F# D11/F#
and kill my mind, you kill my mind
VERSE 3
D Am
Paranoia, paranoia, everybody's comin' to get me
Am7 C D
Just say you never met me, I'm going underground with the moles
to get holes
D Am
Hear the voices in my head I swear to god it sounds like they're snoring
Am7 C D
But if you're bored then you're boring, the agony and the irony
they're killing me...woah
CHORUS
D Am7 C C4 D
I'm not sick but I'm not well, and I'm so hot, cause I'm in hell
D Am7 C C4 D
I'm not sick but I'm not well, and it's a sin, to live this well

Hunter’s Moon
LYRICS
The Hunter’s Moon hovers on the horizon
Once the setting sun is done
It will be a full moon risin’
The folklore of the sky
Trying to answer, “why?”
The folklore of the sky
Understanding the part that is I
The nocturnal prey play after day
The Hunter’s moon shinning like noon
Gives light to the motion of flight
Let go. Whish. (The string of the bow)
Good night!
ABOUT THE SONG
The Hunter’s Moon is so named because plenty of moonlight is ideal for hunters shooting migrating birds in Northern Europe. The name is also said to have been used by Native Americans as they tracked and killed their prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the winter ahead. The Hunter’s Moon and Harvest Moon are not brighter, smaller or yellower than during other times of the year, but all full moons have their own special characteristics (based primarily on the whereabouts of the ecliptic in the sky at the time of year that they are visible.) The full moons of September, October and November, as seen from the northern hemisphere (which correspond to the full moons of March, April and May as seen from the southern hemisphere) are well known in the folklore of the sky.

Slick (Winter Mix)
LYRICS
The tricks with this mix
Involve staying on course
You know? When visibility is low
Trying to avoid blunt force
To hell with hail
that falls to the ground
We’ll sustain the freezing rain
And, figure a work around
Damn the don’t knows
Full speed in the head
The fix for this mix
Involves getting out from betwixt
From above… snow… ice below

Reasonable Songwriting Studio Recording Session
LYRICS
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To beat the egg
Which came first the chicken or the egg?
Let’s go to the otherside
Leaving the irrational behind
Let’s ride the train of thought
To the otherside
A place that’s logical we’ll find
From that compassion will result
On the rightside
Why did Jack and Jill go up the hill?
To chuck your muck
Let’s fetch a wail of laughter
And, live happily everafter
If you fell down and broke your crown
Let’s leave the irrational behind
Leaving the irrational behind
Let’s ride the train of thought
To the otherside
A place that’s logical we’ll find
From that compassion will result
On the otherside

Push The Envelope
LYRICS
When it comes to a shove
Push the envelope
If the answer is, “nope”
Push the envelope
Sometimes you need the touch of a kid glove
Sometimes you need a blessing coming down from above
Sometimes you just need to give them enough rope
To push the envelope
Out of the box
I was outside of the box
Shredding chains and shedding locks
Cunning as a fox
With a band that rocks
There’s hope
We’ll push the envelope

Ohio
Originally by Neil Young
Cover by The End
LYRICS
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We’re finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?
Tin soldiers and Nixon coming,
We’re finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Four dead in Ohio.

Moonshine
LYRICS
Give praise for the moonshine
Pass on the sun’s rays (raise)
Give praise for the nighttime
Reflections from afar
Shedding light from a star
Phenomenon bizarre
Traveling as both wave and particles
Give praise for the sunshine
Bounce off the moon’s backside
Making the full moon shine fine
Giving rise to the ocean’s tide
Reflections from afar
Shedding light from a star
Phenomenon bizarre
Bringing a lifetime of spectacles
Give praise the stars do shine
Travel through vast space
To grace the crisp wintertime
Shinning down on the human race
Reflections from afar
Shedding light from a star
Phenomenon bizarre
Traveling as both particles and wave
Causing us to howl and crave
… none too soon to howl at the moon
ABOUT THE SONG
Key of C
Written and recorded on November 26, 27 and 28, 2012 in West Chester and Ambler, PA. It is about getting sunlight in the wintertime to keep you healthy and happy… and the way a full moon full of reflection can make you feel crazy.

My Thoughts Are With You
Songwriting In Chester County, PA
LYRICS
As you go out in the big wild world
My thoughts are with you
As you grow from young through old
My thoughts are with you
If Ideas are too complex… if ideas do perplex
My thoughts are with you
If you feel as though you’re living under a hex
My thoughts are with you
I’d be more than willing to lend my brain
I’d be more than happy to help explain
It might even be fun… and entertain
Or, if we’re lucky… benefit humanity a bit
Whether a whale under slaughter
Or, parent of dead daughter
Whether deaf in a life of silence
Or, victim of domestic violence
My thoughts are with you
My Thoughts Are With You (Writing the Song Guitar Video).mp4

The Shopping Blues
LYRICS
I wish I could shop until I drop
Alas, there’s nothing I can do
I get the shopping blues
Wish I could get that “best price” pop
Get a rush like a bunny… hop, hop, hop
Alas, there’s nothing I can do
I get the shopping blues
No pause to contemplate the (environmental) flop
My Christmas wish — stop, stop, stop

Lesson #1: Stupendous
Studio Setup for The Keys To VOCGTR
LYRICS
Is there nothing I can do to persuade you
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!
You might turn off a light
Helping clear clutter from sight
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!
You might put up a fight
To when it comes to doing what’s right
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!
Though trite… turn off a light
Helping clear-up a blight
There’s somethings that we can do
That will save us. Stupendous!
Depend upon us. Stupendous!

One By One
LYRICS
The people go marching one by one
Hoorah, hooray
The people go marching one by one
To get out of the sun
They better run
The people go marching two by two
I don’t know… is that you?
That’s me, too
We better run
One by one
The people go marching three by three
The last one stops to see if he can see
The blue sky one more time
And, I’m…
… I’m wishing so too
How about you?
The people go marching four by four
Please don’t forget to shut the door
’cause we don’t know how much more
Hoorah, hooray
It’s man’s last day
He better run
One by one
The people go marching five by five
Better hurry to take the dive
If you want to stay alive
Hoorah, hooray
Could be our final day
We better run
One by one
Before we become undone
The people are marching one by one
For their last hoorah… hooray!
Hooray, hooray… the people are on their way
Perhaps now we can save the day
