I'm flying
Flying my rocket
To the moon
I'm trying
Trying to get there
As soon
As I can

Side Effect
They say I’m losin’ my hair
The TV tellin’ me to beware
Buy the cream and rub it in
And your hair will grow again
But be careful of the side effect
It will change your intellect
If you’re pregnant you could see
A tragic drain on your memory
Side effect – diarrhea and cramps
Side effect – loss of taste lickin’ stamps
Side effect – fever bloated wanna weep
Side effect – dizzy drowsy can’t sleep
They claim my hair will turn gray
If I don’t buy this stuff right away
Think I’ll wait ‘til it all falls out
Leavin’ me without a doubt
Side effect – diarrhea and cramps
Side effect – loss of taste lickin’ stamps
Side effect – fever bloated wanna weep
Side effect – dizzy drowsy can’t sleep

the Garden
today the sun will shine
and colored light will blind the eye
with lies about not what it seems
they play their games of broken dreams
today the sun will shine
the garden calls us all to play
to shake the sense of all mankind
the flowers dance it all away
today the sun will shine
and you and I will find the way
to travel in the light
on the garden path we pray
today the sun will shine
the garden grows a new surprise
evolving from their own demise
the revolution starts today
today the sun will shine
and you and I will find the way
to travel in the light
on the garden path we pray
Today the sun will shine
the garden grows a new surprise
evolving from their own demise
the revolution starts today

Self Storage
I can’t remember when
I had my last hot meal
It’s been a long long time
and life has been so unreal
I’m feeling so depressed
I need a real change of pace
Think I will get a room
Down at the self storage place
All I want
All I need
A little space
A blog to read
Some time to fill
My heart with courage
In my room
My own self storage
I plan to renovate
I’m thinking chrome is the deal
I know I just can’t wait
Could be my home on wheels
There’s room enough for two
Plenty of real open space
Think we could get along
Down at my self storage place

Closer To You
Rain is falling
Everywhere
The sky is freezing
All the air
I’m breathing weary
Holding onto
All I have is you
I want to get closer to you

Endless darkness into light
Sound of rhythm in the night
Awaken flesh and marrow cold
Into life and love unfold
Pieces in the puzzle form
Like lightning in a thunder storm
The body sould and mind are one
‘Til darkness claims the skeleton
Rhythmic pulse so deep inside
Rises like the constant tide
Feelings that I can not hide
Are told in blind disguise
Inspiration comes to me
In my mind so carefully
Like the love you had for me
Unfolds before my eyes
I went down to the bottom of a hole
To see what I could find
There to my surprise
I saw an old friend of mine
He didn’t recognize me
As his sight was very poor
But he heard my footsteps coming
So he hid behind the door
I called out in the darkness
For a light to show the way
But he pretended not to hear me
Not a word did he say.
Endless darkness into light
Sound of rhythm in the night
Awaken flesh and marrow cold
Into life and love unfold
Pieces in the puzzle form
Like lightning in a thunder storm
The body sould and mind are one
‘Til darkness claims the skeleton.

I’ll never understand why we don’t grow up easily
each day seems to be a constant rage
we’ve got so much to live for but sometimes just don’t see
that we can be ourselves at any age
the time has come and there will come a time
when all that matters has been done
when the rhythm of the drum becomes the riddle to the rhyme
then all that flows will flow as one
the dreams we dream as time goes by can lose their shine of gold
that’s just the way within your fragile mind
but there really is no difference in being young or old
another dream to dream is what you’ll find
the time has come and there will come a time
when all that matters has been done
when the rhythm of the drum becomes the riddle to the rhyme
then all that flows will flow as one
in youth there is an innocence that somehow we misplace
it seems much more important to be right
the truth that grows within us is sometimes hard to face
until we find ourselves alone at night
the time has come and there will come a time
when all that matters has been done
when the rhythm of the drum becomes the riddle to the rhyme
then all that flows will flow as one

(I don't wanna)Wake You

She was a singer in a rock n’ roll band
He played guitar
Heavy metal laser light
Screaming lyrics at the night
Leather flash and purple tights
Ev’ry night the punks would fight
They kept the beat and banged the gong
The children laughed and sang along
And she’d say
I don’t wanna wake you
It would only shake you up
It wasn’t long before she tired of the dream
He played the horn
Sexy sax mean and clean
Ev’ry note made the scene
Purple shirts and Levi jeans
Ev’ry night the girls would scream
They kept the beat right or wrong
The children danced and sang along
And she’d say
I don’t wanna wake you
It would only shake you up
He couldn’t fake couldn’t take it on the road
He played alone
One night gigs of comedy
Acoustic strings and harmony
Mellow nights and melody
Wasted on the memory
He kept the beat the best he could
But no one heard or understood
And he’d say
I don’t wanna wake you
It would only shake you up

Fall in Love
The time has come
To fall in love
To fall in love again
To fall in love
To fall in love again
I wanna hold you tight
The time has come
The time has come
