Other People
I wish I’d thought of that first,
Maybe I did
But you’ll never know
Guess I just left it lying there
Well see if I care
If I did, would I ever let it go?
Let’s make it up as we go along
Maybe we are
But we’ll never tell
Fake it ‘til we make it with our heads down
Hey, look what I found
Can I toss a good intention
Into a wishing well?
I wanna do what other people do
Go where other people go
They’re all doing that there
And we’re nowhere
Or at least nowhere they’d want to know
We let that one slip by
Yes we did
And we all watched it fly away
I bought a butterfly net
But let’s not take it out it just yet
Maybe the next one will decide to stay
I wanna do what other people do
Go where other people go
They’re all doing that there
And we’re nowhere
Or at least nowhere they’d want to know
Show me these other people
I hear they really know how to get things done
Bring me these other people
I hear they really know how to have fun
I think I know where they’ve been hiding
Over there, underneath the dirty clothes
Looks like it’s laundry day
Get that shit out of the way
How long’s it been?
I don’t even want to know
I wanna do what other people do
Go where other people go
They’re all doing that there
And we’re nowhere
Or at least nowhere they’d want to know
I hear they really know how to get things done
Bring me these other people
I hear they really know how to have fun

Dr.Holly please help me
I’m oh so sad
Am I more that just sum of
What I don’t have
Dr. Holly can I get it all out of my head?
Dr. Holly can you help me?
Dr. Holly! I’m calling Dr. Holly!
(Dr. Holly)
Dr. Holly! I’m calling Dr. Holly!
(Dr. Holly)
Dr. Holly please tell me
What’s really going on
Am I more than just the total
Of what I’ve done wrong
Dr. Holly can I get it all out of my head?
Dr. Holly can you help me?
Dr. Holly can I get it all out of my head?
Dr. Holly can you help me?
Dr. Holly! I’m calling Dr. Holly!

Meltdown

MELTDOWN
The sound of a lonely heart always searching
The sound of the melting snow dreams burned to ash
With flame see the nectar bleed and she feels set free
The rush of a hum so sweet that she’ll never leave
The scene when the lights go up sound is deafening
Now dark in a tiny room just your screaming
The pain of a burning need all consuming
Now peace streaming to the pulse calms the demon’s greed.
In her eyes there’s fear
No deception here
A vein of truth
She can’t see
Obsessed but your skin is frail and rejecting
You claw for that last drip that you’ll always need
The mask is clear
No reflection here
A vein of truth
She won’t see
She sang in his arms her last breath denying
She sang through a hazy hum her soul
Flying
Flying
Flying

THE MIST
You got the weight of the moon baby
Time to get your feet on the ground
The mist she rumbles with sound baby
Smoothing out my furrowed brow
From zero to the sky
Sometimes I think you’ll fly
You got the weight of the moon baby
Better now that water’s been found
The mist commanding her presence known
Only just to lay down beside
From quiet to a roar
Language buried no more
Time goes so fast.
We forget the best
A memory so deep
You’ll never lose
You got the weight of the moon baby
Craters form to steal your breath
The mist is ever so blue baby
Even when it fades to black
Gale force to gentle breeze
Today you’ll find your peace
From zero to the sky
Today I know you’ll fly

Healing
How can I cry when the rain won’t fall
How can it rain when the tears won’t come
How can I cry when the rain won’t fall
The tears they come with healing
Bring hope
Bring change
We needed it
Turncoat tsunami receded
Brain washed by tea and knee jerk
That ain’t healing
Can’t cry the rain won’t fall
Won’t rain my tears can’t come
Can’t cry the rain won’t fall
The tears they come with healing
They yell they point do nothing
And yet we pay them something
Put cells to waste mind numbing
That ain’t healing
Bring me the day when common sense reigned
Logic and intellect used
Reality’s tough, we’ve all had enough
Turn off the noise and think for yourself
Short sighted views bring ruin
Selfish just breeds devolving
Take time open mind reflecting
That starts healing
I’ll cry the rain will fall
It rains my tears they come
I’ll cry the rain it falls
My tears they come with healing

Why did I leave you
Screaming in silence
Losing you in the crowd
Where did I leave you
Floating in concrete
Trying to let you drown
I’m in you
You need me
Why did I leave you
Changing mid-color
Stomping you to the ground
Where did I leave you
Stripped of existence
Trying to pull me out
I’m in you
Just free me
I’m with you
You need me
There’s no place here
You see me
Only space here
Come home to me
Just release me
You know you know me
Break these chains and breathe
Why did I leave you
Desperately seeking
Knowing the time is now
When did you leave me
Hopeless despondent
Only to figure out

Champion
The Idea is here, everybody say hello
There’s a message inside, it’s up to us to let it show
It’s a boulder in the office, we have to chip away
Everything that doesn’t look like why we’re here today
So
Play like a champion today, people
Play like a champion (champion)
What are we doing here today, people?
Play like a champion (champion)
Pick it up, put it down
Take it, twist it, toss around
Let’s place kick it, dog lick it
Drop and drag it on the ground
Then plop in the lobby, and scoop it off the floor,
Wash it off and wind it up and pitch it out the door
Lets
Play like a champion today, people
Play like a champion (champion)
What are we doing here today, people?
Play like a champion (champion)
Play like a champion today, people
Play like a champion (champion)
What are we doing here today, people?
Play like a champion (champion)

Keep Up With You

Keep Up With You
Oh, oh no
There’s a piece of my mind on your trail
Whether you’re moving along
Or I’m standing still
I don’t have to move to keep up with you
I don’t have to move to keep up with you
Oh, oh no
If you think at all, I was already there
Whether you’re trying or not
I don’t care
I don’t have to think to keep up with you
I don’t have to think to keep up with you
Not today, not tomorrow
I won’t let you down by letting you see me follow
But I’m gonna follow you
Oh, oh no
Chasing down something that’s just out of reach
Too far to touch
But too close not to see
I don’t have to feel to keep up with you
I don’t have to feel to keep up with you
It’s the perfect perpetual emotion scene
Someone needs a push but doesn’t know that he has been
Look at him move in every direction
Ducking the blows without one connection
Not today, not tomorrow
I won’t let you down by letting you see me follow
But I’m gonna follow you
Yes, I’m gonna follow you
There’s a piece of my mind on your trail
Whether you’re moving along
Or I’m standing still
I don’t have to move to keep up with you
I don’t have to move to keep up with you
Not today, not tomorrow
I won’t let you down by letting you see me follow
But I’m gonna follow you
Yes, I’m gonna follow you

Just Now and Then
Little bird sings out your window
Open up and just drink it in
Simple melody clearing your head
Facebook Facebook email tweet tweet
Facebook Facebook email tweet tweet
Take a walk with no distractions
Look around see what you missed
Tiny garden smelling of perfume
It’s the little things
It’s the simple things
It’s the little things
It’s the simple things
Overload
See the water sparkle in the skylight
Every color shifts with the wind
Invitation seeps in your mind
Facebook Facebook email tweet tweet
Facebook Facebook email tweet tweet
A little dazzle cleansing and refreshing
Now the sun to warm you up
Nothing special yet so splendid
It’s the little things
It’s the simple things
It’s the little things
It’s the simple things
Overload
Life it calls on speed dial
Complicates your view
Turn it off just now and then
You’ll find yourself renewed
See yourself inside the mirror
Small screen eyes look so alive
Imagination starts to unfold
Bursting through the cyber giant
Feel the world embrace your bliss
All the beauty yours for free
It’s the little things
simple things
It’s the little things
simple things

The American Professionals St. Louis, Missouri
