Flower Song

The one-eyed man is king
In the kingdom of the blind
Never ever resist a challenge
Start with the end in mind
It’s what you do with what you know
That gets you paid
But if you’re truly wise and great
You lived both early and too late
Don’t wait til the flowers die
Before you put one in your hair
Time wont wait for anyone
So you better be prepared
You better be prepared
You can run with the big dogs
Or sit on the porch and bark
An open mind can move matter
When matter is the mark
Cause it’s not worth doing
If it’s not worth doing well
Imagination is creation
So love thy neighbor as thyself
Don’t wait til the flowers die
Before you put one in your hair
Time wont wait for anyone
So you better be prepared
You better be prepared
One thought can change the world
One thought can change the world
One thought can change the world
I want to change……the world.

Hard Times

If you take a piece of me
I’m gonna take a piece of you
Hold on to your money
Store it safely in your shoe
You want they got
But man you already have it
You take what they make
You do it out of habit
These are really hard times
People begging for morsels
These are really thin times
I guess we need a removal
If you used oil from a plant
Instead of oil from a fossil
There’d be no need for fighting
That’s always such a hassle
The bully on the block
That’s what you’ve always been
You cleverly disguise
The what, the where, the when
So what’s really going on
Cause I really want to know
What about those things
That they never ever show
These are really hard times
People begging for morsels
These are really thin times
I guess we need a removal
If you used oil from a plant
Instead of oil from a fossil
There’d be no need for fighting
That’s always such a hassle

Adelaide

I’m in love with Adelaide
But I shouldn’t be
I’d do anything for old Adelaide
She has to do the same for me
I’m not ashamed of loving Adelaide
Although she’s six times my age
I couldn’t live without old Adelaide
She makes sure my bed is made
Ooh Adelaide, Adelaide
I like coming home to find Adelaide
Has supper waiting for me
Sometimes I have to spy on old Adelaide
Just to score a little peak
I can’t wait to open the door and find Adelaide
Even though she’s old and grey
At night I like to think about ol Adelaide
I wonder if she’s doing the same

I Belong To You

He only got lonely
When he wasn’t alone
He avoided the things
Most folks would call home
He ached in his body
But out of desire
He’d cross any river
In order to see her
Why should I be afraid to die
When I belong to you
If I go first I will wait on the other side
Of the water for you
They were one and the same
So young and obsessive
They were joined at the hip
So innocently possesive
He suffered in vein
The absence made it harder
He would have known
Had he been a bit smarter
Why should I be afraid to die
When I belong to you
If I go first I will wait on the other side
Of the water for you
I kiss you and taste you
Until I cannot tell you from me

I Can't Understand

You pick up the phone
From out of the blue
You make plans and cancel
That’s what you do
You play all the time
But time has wings
A crowd can be a lonely place to be
Procrastination is a thief
I can’t understand
Why you wont see me
When you are the measure of all things
In a world of mediocrity
We do a dance
Each time we speak
We’ll talk for a while
Then nothing for weeks
Where do you go
And what do you do
I can’t figure out
If it’s me or you
I can’t understand
Why you wont see me
When you are the measure of all things
In a world of mediocrity
But I’m so glad that you think of me
On my Birthday
Because I think of you
Each and every other day
What are you waiting for
You’re hot and then you’re so damn cold
One day you’re gonna wake up
And you’re gonna find you’re already old
I can’t understand
Why you wont see me
When you are the measure of all things
In a world of mediocrity

Forever Lily

She could do no wrong in her daddies eyes
She’s magically delicious with her chunky thighs
She’s daddies little girl and that’s alright
He never takes notice of her clothes or her size
She’s thirteen and she thinks she’s fine
She’s overly hormonal it’s just a matter of time
Dad’s on the radio and mom’s on T.V.
They’re separated but they want her to be
Forever Lilly don’t ever change
Forever Lilly we like you that way
Forever Lilly she’s coming of age
Lilly’s growing up with the Hollywood brats
The Carrie Fisher Paddle Club is where it’s at
The other kids are jealous cause her parents are stars
Dad is from Venus and Mom is from Mars
She dresses like a tramp even though she’s young
Mommy’s not around so Dad is the one
She smokes cigarettes she’s ill-behaved
The child is a mess but they want her to stay
Forever Lilly don’t ever change
Forever Lilly we like you that way
Forever Lilly she’s coming of age

Summer Til November

I am drunk on absolute desire
Must I wait in vain til November for my sweet love?
What line divides love and sanity?
Does challenge make a man happy?
Is it victory?
We made several circles as I watched closely
You said yourself it’s a cycle
It’s the ghost of the past
That haunts your present
I cannot drink this cup
It’s far too full
This weight is much too heavy to bear
Your down in the morning
And up in the evening
Crazy and kind
Sometimes you’re cruel
Where has it gone?
That Happy Birthday feeling
It doesn’t last forever
From summer til November
I cannot drink this cup
It’s far too full
This weight is much too heavy to bear

Drowning

They’ll be drowning in this sea all their lives
With weights tied on thier feet they try and they try
To keep from sinking
Holding heads up high
Ooh I wonder why
They’ll be treading in this sea all their lives
Will is gone but they try and they try it
No hope for rescue in site
Ooh I wonder why
Days come and then leave
Nights are caught but escape in the breeze

Be What You Imagine

What we can do
We will try to do
Energy is kind
And it’s the same as you
So treat yourself kind
And look for the genious in others
If the father of action is thought
Then feelings must be the mother
You can and must be
What you imagine yourself to be
Change the way you look and see
It’s in giving that we receive
We’re all formless
Something from nothing
Little tiny pieces of God
Linked up by imagening
The source creates perfection
Truth and beauty are one
From nowhere to now here
And it’s the same when you are done
You can and must be
What you imagine yourself to be
Change the way you look and see
It’s in giving that we receive
Be better than you used to
Yeah that’s what you gotta do
And don’t you dare go and die
With your music still in you

Garden Song

The mind is a garden
To grow it takes some time
The body is the servant
He who seeks it shall find
That it’s also
The sower of the thoughts
The architect of future
Where chance is just not
The oak is in the acorn
And the bird is in the eggshell
They themselves make themselves
One’s an oppressor cause many are slaves
Who would do little
And sacrifice less
Calm is a sign of power
A noble character is best
Dreamers are the saviors
And the makers of the arts
The makers of the music
That has stirred up all of our hearts
The strength of the effort
Is the measure of result
Doubt and fear are enemies
Defeat failure and you will conquer both
The soul is drawn to
It’s hidden secret needs
Think well of all and
When you ask you’re gonna receive

Scary Song

Straight across
Stole my expression for a loss
Unbearable
I heard you say
It happens everyday
You pull the rug from under my feet
As I watch the concrete crumble around
It happens everyday
As my mother pats me on the shoulder
He bloodies my face and rips my tongue from my mouth
It happens everyday
I’m tired, scared, and bored
No way of saying it
Don’t have a tongue no more
You know that I
Would love to walk to town
But it rained so hard, the road washed out
And I keep falling down
It happens everyday
I’m tired, scared, and bored
No way of saying it
Don’t have a tongue no more

Power Pop

Let’s go write a hook now
To catch a bunch of fish
Doesn’t matter what you like
It’s what the people wish
There has to be a number
In every single name
Doesn’t matter what they do
It always sounds the same
Don’t blink, don’t blink
Don’t blink, don’t blink
It’s better not to think
It’s better not to think
Who’ll stand alone
While they’re looking for a clone
Who’ll fill the need
Not another Creed
Repetition works now
No matter what it is
Without the radio
They don’t know where to go
Don’t fight, don’t fight
Don’t fight, don’t fight
It’s better not to bite

Take Your Medicine

A thousand mile journey begins with the first step
And only can be taken one step at a time
Fear of God is the key to wisdom
In this life
And we must learn to listen
Because love is a verb
But if one doesn’t have it
Can one give in return
I am what I am today
Because of the choices that I made
I am what I am today
Because of the choices that I made
We are what we do
Most of us already know
Search the place in your heart
Where the issues flow
They can’t hurt or bother you
Unless you allow them to
Just remember
You have the freedom to choose
I am what I am today
Because of the choices that I made
I am where I am today
Because of the choices that I made
Yeah it’s not what happens
But it’s our response
There are times to teach
And clearly times to not
Sometimes
The way we see the problem
Is the problem
So take your medicine…….

River Song

Rivers of blood
Oceans of tears
It’s tough to defeat
A gun with a spear
Oh Mother Earth
You’ve suffered since you birth
They come and take your worth
Oh how I loathe this human curse
And how they rewrite verse after verse
As the greedy leaders keep stuffing up their purse
Never second always first
They put the shifter in reverse
Oh how I loathe this human curse
A fable agreed upon
And retold by the winners
A one sided account
Often from different writers all over the world
The land of the free
The home of the slaves
They took I away
Then killed all the braves
Because they had lied
Countless guiltless died
While they conquer and divide
And I can’t decide
Who got it worse
And oh how I loathe this human curse
A fable agreed upon
And retold by the winners
A one sided account
Often from different writers all over the world
