The Bonfire Song

LYRICS AND CHORDS

E         A           D
Seems I'm better at a ditty

D        A              E
Then crawling in poison ivy

E     A        D
Not asking for pity

D          A            E
Just begging for a lil' mercy

Chorus
B                              E
Need the fuel for the yuletide ride

G/E
Glide

B                     E 
Burning porno like we're pyros

G/E
Abide

Verse 2
Put on the kettle
And, we’ll call it black
Let the earth settle
Then, the blocks will stack

Verse 3
“’bout gettin’ shit done
Before it gets dark” (1)
’cause into the setting sun
I wanna sing like a lark

Chorus plus
Hey, hey, hwy! We’re talking shades of grey

Songwriting on the “Throne” in Ambler, PA

LYRICS
Wonder what it would be like
To own a throne
Splendor spike for the psych
Crown of thorn
World is torn

Chorus
As soon as you sit your arse down
The miracles are found
Go ahead… sit your arse down
The miracles abound

Wonder what it would be like
To loan a throne
Splendor spike for the psych
I’m not alone

Chorus

Sit your buttocks down
No if, and or but… rocks sound

Life And Death Situation

LYRICS
No matter what we may do
We’ve gotta keep the faith
Nemesis hubris does pursue
The promise of the oath

Maketh me to lay down in green pasture
Pray for the calm to come faster

No matter what we may do
We’ve gotta keep the faith
Life deceased reflects you
Can’t have one… must have both

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Thank God for every moment ’till my last final dying gasp of breath

Look And See

LYRICS
If you don’t believe me
Take a look and see

From devastating
The Redwood Forest
To annihilating
The very poorest
Mass destruction
From sea sea
This land was trashed by you and me

If you don’t believe me
Take a look and see
People living happily
From resurrecting
Light in the darkest
To embracing
The very poorest
May jubilation
Setting us free
Understand peace and harmony
Understand peace between you and me

Look And See.mp3

At Love

 

LYRICS
What makes someone act like that?
Makes ya wonder
Why someone would act like that
Why they squander
The love… when that’s where it’s at

Why do people hate and kill
Makes ya wonder
Plenty of yield to fulfill
Yet we squander
Let love cure these mentally ill

What makes someone rape and pillage
Makes ya wonder
Why someone wants the Ill Age
Why they squander
The love when that’s the courage

Foreigner

LYRICS
Just landed on this stage
And, it’s all the world
What planet? Say, what Age?

Is it an Age you can grow old
When a future generation can be told
Or, an Age when the arrogant’s too bold
When all our live’s expectations have been sold

Is that our world?

Is it a stage you know you can play
Where a fortune generation is to say
The way to truth when you know the way
When all our expectations unfold

Is that our world?

I’m just a foreigner passing through
Praying my days aren’t too few
I’m just a foreigner passing through
Praying to make the most of all I do

Is that our world?

+/- 3 Miles to 30 Seconds To Mars

Songwriting In RIttenhouse Square, Philadelphia

LYRICS
Prepare to splash down!
Sure hope there’s water on mars
More than a frown
To be let down
After traveling so far

Want to hear something bizarre?
The sun’s the closest star
You’re face-to-face with an alien in space

Prepare to get down
To 30 Seconds To Mars
Kings, Queens and wars
The perfect sound
After traveling so far

Chorus

Now, up in the air
Playing drums and guitars
Perfect spot right there
The place is found
After traveling so far

Bright Side Of The Moon

LYRICS
The universe grows vast fast
Your presence turns into past
The ominous grows vast fast
All presents turn to past

I’ll see you on the bright side of the moon
Shoot out at the OK corral
The end of our time comes way too soon
Learning to let the living be my tomb

May The Force Be With You

LYRICS
If they try to know you down
Push you all around
Get up off the ground
Let the force be found

May the force be with you
Leveling perspective — view
May the worse be behind
So, the peace you can find
So, the piece you may find
The solution to your puzzle
On life’s juice chug n’ guzzle

Who Is It?

LYRICS
I thought I heard someone
Knocking at the door
Will you check to see who’s there?

If it’s a gift horse
Don’t look her in the mouth
Please invite her in

Chorus

If it’s Santa Claus
Please believe in him
Then, invite him in

Chorus

If it’s an angel
Offer something special
Amen! Welcome in

Inspiration for Songwriting in West Chester

LYRICS
Gonna go, gonna go
To the land of the double rainbow
Just follow the leprechaun
If you can

Twice as many
Pots o’ gold
Or at least
That’s what I’m told

Where the children glow
And, the people know
Did you hear
It’s right here

No, don’t let it disappear
I know the end
Is near

No, you don’t look too fancy
Perfectly classy

You can wear that look
Again and again
If over dressed
Thank God, it’s within

Stylishly sassy
For celebration

Pleasant sight to see

Spirits Blood Pure

LYRICS
When I believe there’s more
Spirit’s enable… endure

Flying ever higher
As lives transpire

At the root, the essence, the core
The soul’s the thread… spirits endure
Come on, root, the presence, folklore
The body soul’s bread… spirit’s blood pure

ON the route, transportation store
The sou’s the tread… spirits lure
There’s no doubt, exaltation, for sure
The body soul’s bread… spirit’s blood pure

Spirit’s Blood Pure.mp3

Howling At The Moon (Intersection)

Toucan the Amazing Singing Bird-dog

Toucan the Amazing Singing Bird-dog

LYRICS
When you stare down destiny
Look in the eye of inevitability
When you bare down on insanity
Look in the I of humanity

Don’t you know… you’re just…
Howling at the moon
Barking up the wrong tree
No gloom will ever set you free

Past the intersection of hate and greed
There is a land of succeed
Where those that follow… lead
And, those that lead… swallow
Human, never again shall suppress
Those they consider less

Or you’re just…
Howling at the moon
Barking up the wrong tree
No gloom will ever set you free

When you stare down destiny
Look in the eye of inevitability
When you bare down on insanity
Look in the I of humanity
Beyond the doom
Beyond the gloom

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — E Am
E C D E

Made at the intersection of Market Street and High Street while thinking about a neighborhood in paradise… in the USA (West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)
