LYRICS
You have a mouth that’s a razor
Your words cut to the very core
You a real trail blazer
Never cease to amaze Her

Look, God! No hands
Or, maybe it’s that no one understands?

You have a tongue that’s a laser
Your words seeing what’s in store
You have the touch of a taser
Your love shocks the sinister

Chorus

You have the touch of a Taser
Your ideas shock the sinister
They don’t know what’s going on… for sure

LYRICS
If you’re craving something really funny
Just look around you
There’s people chasing money
It’s expensive, too

Come to think of it I’ll make that bet
You know exactly where it’s at

As if it were simple as honey
Dripping with dew
It might be real funny
If they only knew

Come to think of it… who need suggest
Deep down inside you know what’s really best

LYRICS
Though the poles aren’t the goal
We still don’t want to meet in the middle
Through our goals we’ll fulfill
The cat and the fiddle… hey diddle diddle

Have you ever been told
You’re a little too bold
That “your initiative
Of give, give, give
Just won’t take
In this world of ours”
If so shake
Their hatred horrors

Chorus

Please don’t compromise
The promise’s rise
None too soon
The cow jumps over the moon

LYRICS
Come with me on a trip to 333
A time and place where 2/3 is the other half
Join with me as virtual turns into reality
Avoid the hex of 666

Be born again with a new twist
Rising above with unclenched fist
Be born again with a new twist
Reverse the order of the first-last list

Chorus

New age begin… known as Just
Unveil paradise betwixt the mist
New age begin… known as Just
Like the stars shine and the dead from the dust

Chorus

Be born again with a new twist
Rising above with unclenched fist
Be born again with a new twist
Reverse the order of the first-last list

The twist of the age with no age
Hmm… will there be need for a sage
The twist of the age with no age
Will the shaman get the hook from the stage

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — C A
A G A G A D A
C A

1-track live stereo recordings made in the USA (West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

The song is about 666 and the mark of the beast as it relates to repeating decimals.  That is to say 2/3 written as a decimal is .666. Those that are part of the two-thirds will not be born again… thus, the mark of the beast. Those that are part of the .333 may be “the people of God — shall shine as brightly as the sun’s brilliance, and those who turn many to righteousness will glitter like stars forever.” (Daniel 12: 3-4)

However, the immortality of “forever” may eventually be seen as a curse for insisting on divine intervention (due to our destruction of the planet.) Whenever humans insist on divine intervention, there are consequences. For instance, when Eve ate the apple — “condemning the man to sustain life through hard labor and the woman to create new life through painful childbirth.”

What if the consequence the .333  pay for the actions of the .666 is immortality — never to be born again? What good will a sage or shaman be then?

LYRICS
There may be more here than meets the eye
Certainly more here than me and I

Setting our sights for the sky
Going to go high, high, high

Scratch the surface and see what you get
No one is useless… you can place that bet

Living like you’re never going to die
Go ahead try, try, try

Live it like you’re never going to die
Go ahead try, try, try

There may be more here than meets the eye
Way more here than me and I
If you want to touch the sky
Set your sights and set ’em high

Living like you’re never going to die
Go ahead try, try, try

LYRICS
There’s a love that I know
It’s starting to grow
There’s a love that I grow
Lord, please let it show

I’ve been racking my brain
Over your sweet refrain
Gonna drive me insane
If it goes inane

Chorus

I’ve been tracing my thought
Over why and why not
Should the battle be fought
Live, liberty, happiness is a lot

LYRICS
Here comes one walkin’ the dog
There’s one struttin’ outta the fog
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle a little bit
But, but, but, but, but, butt

People to the left
Talkin’bout black
People to the right
Talkin’bout white
Are people deft
On the attack
In spite of spite
Move to all right, alright?!?!

From the feet up the leg
Or, the head down the back
For more n’ more n’ more I beg
You know I love. A natural fact

People to the left
Talkin’bout black
People to the right
Talkin’bout white
From the feet up the leg
Or, the head down the back
We meet at the butt, but…
Sorry, I didn’t mean to make an ass of myself

Chords — Capo 2
Em walked down from top

A 1-track stereo recording made in the USA (West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

The song was inspired while sitting on the wall of the Courthouse and writing music. A couple young black “rappers” came and sat next to me on my left. Then, a white “cowboy” came and stood to my right. While I played the guitar, they started rapping back and forth at/with each other; however, despite our differences, we all agreed about the anatomy of the females that were walking by.

LYRICS
Come on, come on, come on
The bands already on stage
Time to, time to, time to
Let the animals outta their cage

Chorus
We’re going to a party tonight
So far, the day’s been outta sight
We’re talkin’ more than alright
In fact, it’s been a party all day
Wouldn’t cha, wouldn’t cha, wouldn’t cha say

Come on, come on, come on
Like children let us engage
No time to, no time to, no time to
Start acting your age

Chorus

Somehow, somehow, somehow
This is totally nuts right now
Anyhow, anyhow, anyhow
I’m speechless… like wow

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — E B

A 1-track stereo recording made in the USA (Ambler, Montgomery County and West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)

The song was inspired by a new friend, Adam. He heard me writing the music to this song while playing acoustic guitar on the streets of Ambler, PA. First, he just stood there in awe. I stopped playing and introduced myself. He got on the Internet and checked KingArthur.com. That’s when Adam said, “This is totally nuts right now!”
