Shoebox Philosophy

Light's on but nobody's home
Well excuse me leave me alone
I don't wanna hear it
No sir, you've got me all wrong
I'm just a shoebox philosopher I meant no harm
To your precious little psyche
But why tell me why
Why are all the night-time stars circling the sky
All be moving simultaneously
Well that's fuel for ya thought yeah
Why tell me why
Why are all the people calling shots be only guys?
Don't you think that's a little one-sided?
Well that's fuel for ya thought yeah
I think I don't need to think no more
School's out, now I only count hockey scores
And that's the way I like it
Well ma'am, hockey aside
You're letting your life pass you on by
Seems a little silly to my shoebox philosophy
Why tell me why
Why do people praise the power paper can buy
Don't you think there's something up with that? Huh?
Well that's fuel for ya thought yeah
When tell me when
When did human beings first appear on planet Earth again?
And did you hear that we came from the sky?
Well that's fuel your ya thought yeah
Why tell me why
Why did fire never rain down from the sky
Back when everybody said "That's a fact!"
That's fuel for ya thought yeah
Why tell me why
Why do thingies happen i'm the only body asking why
And you call me the crazy cat! Huh!
Well that's fuel for ya thought yeah

Be Still My Heart

Sky rise crush on
Everybody walking by
When did they all
Figure how to get me so high
It's a miracle I can see
The little fall in love in everybody
Sometimes there's so much
Beauty in the world for little beaters to touch
Ba dum
Be still my heart
God you can take me
When we catch and meet in the eye
It's a miracle I can feel
A little fall in love at every heel
Sometimes it's too much
Too much for the little four beaters to take
But they keep beating the
Ba Dum
Be still my heart

Java With Me

Look at yourself in the mirror
And tell me what you see
Is somebody reflecting who is really truly happy?
Got perfect hair, perfect clothes, as perfect as can be
Oo that doesn't java
Oo that doesn't java
Oh that doesn't java with me
Take a good ol gander at all the people
And look at what they do
They look and act and think the same as
You and you and you and you and you
Everybody is different
We are told that's how it be
Oo that doesn't java
Oo that doesn't java
Oh that doesn't java with me
Take a look all around you and tell me what you see
People being people being people wide asleep
To say that you wake up we need a Starbucks cup o'fee
Oo that doesn't java
Oo that doesn't java
Oh that doesn't java with me
Thank you very much good sir
But i'll stick with my tea
Oo that doesn't java
Oo that doesn't java
Oh that doesn't java with me

Bit a night never hurt the stars
Bit a rain never hurt the flowers
Bit a young never hurt the old
Bit a frost never hurt the cold
Bit a cake never hurt the pie
Bit a lid never hurt the eye
Bit a safe never broke the mould
Little bit a funky never hurt the
Soul speak
Wearing what it speak on the souls of my feet
No shoes No shoes
No shoes when I go and take my parooz
We're okay Amore
Lotta solo never hurt the group
Lotta hands never hurt the soup
Lotta shallow never hurt the deep
Lotta Blues never ever hurt the
Soul Speak
Weaving our soul into every downbeat
Keepin' time Keepin' time
Doin' way way more better than fine
We're okay Amore
Soul Speak
Listen to the rhythm of your soul as your soul seeks
Just fine just fine
Finding i'm fine when I surrender to the rhyme
We're Okay Amore

Freedom Wine

So many things are said
Of freedom and the men who don't hate
Saints marching too and fro
But baby don't you know you relate
You are just in time
Uncork the freedom wine
So many things are said
Of women and the thread they have spun
Some fear what they could be
The greatest loving face
We've ever seen
They are just in time
Erase all the sandy lines
When women have more I will drink till i'm sore
Uncork the freedom wine
Soon men like me will be
The vast majority
Now I don't need reasons to celebrate
To toast all my sisters and the love that we make
Uncork the freedom
Uncork the freedom wine
Uncork the freedom wine
You are just in time
To help us drink this freedom wine

Music is Love

There are times I can't believe my eyes
I see them and am mesmerized
Angels are on Earth disguised
As everybody here
Everybody come along
Everybody's got a song
That only they can sing
So sing sing
Love love love love is music
Mu mu mu music is love
Music is love
There are times I find I get down too
We got problems me and you
But here's a tip for when they do
A musical rendezvous
Everybody come along
Everybody's got a song
That only they can sing
So sing sing
Love love love love is music
Mu mu mu music is love
Music is love
Everybody come along
Come and write a brand new song
That everybody on the Earth can sing together
Love love...

So much time spent refereeing for the game
So many shots shot to keep in the frame
What I'd give to not be hung
Like the pictures on the wall
So much time spent studying the strategies of past greats
So much me that's left behind in moments where the bulb breaks
What I'd give to not be hung
Like the pictures on the wall
What I'd give to ease the pain
Of the ones who find themselves confined to picture frames
What I'd give to not be hung
Like the pictures on the wall
What I'd give to ease the pain
Of the ones who find themselves confined to picture frames '
What I'd give to not be hung
