Carry On Baggage

By admin | Published: February 23, 2013

LYRICS
While attached to your baggage
Might as well find a home
While attached to your baggage
Looking for happiness… you’ll roam
’till the baggage fades away
There won’t be an easy way

As long as you carry the baggage
It won’t leave you alone
As long as you carry the baggage
You’ll never be at home

As the baggage fades away
You’ll find a new day
You’ll find the new day

Suffering The Fools Pain.mp3

LYRICS

Hung like a picture on the wall
She grabbed me by the balls
Flung into a den of lions
In front of the hypocrites and liars
In the lair
In the glare
I fell to my knees
Beggin’ please, please, please

I’ve been framed
I’ve been blamed
But, I bare no shame
Smear my name
I’ve been framed
May never be the same
Suffering the fool’s pain

CHORDS — Dm
F C F C D Dm
G Dm

ABOUT THE SONG
Written and recorded at the Out In The Woods studios in West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. At the begging of the track, you can hear Rick asking for the vocals to be sung with a country “squirrel s&#!” style.

She Is Alive

By admin | Published: February 22, 2013

LYRICS
What will be your mark
What will be your relevance
Bringing people from the dark
While you have a presence

Wearing a white hat
Into mortal combat
None of us are getting out alive

What will be your mark
What will be your relevance
Bringing people from the dark
While you have a presence

Baring the attack
There’s no need to fight back
Mirrors of God survive
Mirrors of God alive

LYRICS
What’s your take on the take?
What do you make
Of your perspective?

Going reflective….

What’s your attitude on attitude
When it comes to people who are rude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

’till our cup runneth over
’till our glass is full
’till there is no null… no, no null at all

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

Do you have longitude
Do you have latitude
Well, don’t get stuck in that rut
(Adjusted attitude)
Come on! Give it from the gut

Hey! Hey! Hey!
We’re over half-way
Hey! Hey! Hey!
More than half of the way

The Speed Of Light

By admin | Published: February 19, 2013

LYRICS
Is the wind wailing on me at the speed of light?
Or, is it me traveling at that rate of speed?
If it’s me,
At what speed
Are the headlights traveling
In front of me?

Is the light twice as bright?
Will relativity be forced to concede?
Lord, that amount of light will have to help us see
Hear the blind humanity’s plea!

Hear the blind humanity’s plea, please?

Close

By admin | Published: February 19, 2013

LYRICS
How close are you?

It feels as though you’re in my skin
Washing away every sin
How close are you?

How close
How close
How close are you?

It feels as though you’re with me in everything I do
I really want to know, “How close are you?”

How close are you?

Is there anything you can do?

When I am alive
I think we jive
Our flesh is mesh
As we mesh flesh

Down To Earth

By admin | Published: February 19, 2013

LYRICS
I’ve seen some strange things around here
Under the atmosphere
When you’re down to earth
It’s quite odd
How humanity wants to rob humanity
Rob, rob, rob

… some strange things around here
Under here
Under the atmosphere
When you get down to Earth
And, a human birth
You might call it insanity
The way humanity
Just loves to bask in vanity
Yeah, I’ve seen some strange things around here
Under the atmosphere

Didn’t you, too?
Part of the human zoo
Or, are you a zookeeper
Of the moral Lepers?

I’ve seen some strange things around here
Under the atmosphere
When you’re down to earth

Embrace

By admin | Published: February 18, 2013

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

The Water Rushes In

By admin | Published: February 18, 2013

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!”

Little Chicken

By admin | Published: February 18, 2013

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!

Dancing, glancing, Willy drives them silly with

his star shoe shimmy shuffle down.
