about

So this one started with some alliteration and naturally along the way a lil' social commentary had to get inserted... and humor ya, but also some appreciation for the grand mystery of being.

lyrics

Horace said to Hazel as he opened the 'fridge
an analytic inner eye on every other lid
wouldn't it be beautiful to serve as a bridge
from the white sky to the place where we live
the White House to where we bury fish

walkin on along a long sea-stoppin wall
dawdlin in the desert 40 nights without a mall
wouldn't it be certitude to censor every call
and notice every subtle wind that stalls
and know when every brick is gonna fall

chorus:
gott git goin gotta git gone gotta git movin
on and on on and on on and on

2.
Merriweather Hunnicutt on her morning walk
an oriental inner eye on every other lot
wouldn't it be incredible to buy up every block
and sell it all at double what it cost
and turn a purty profit into stock

all across the continental United States
consumption junction frenzy don't nobody wanna wait
wouldn't it be intolerable to sacrifice a steak
so others at the table can partake
and there can be a parting of the lake - chorus

3.
Dousseldorf, Amsterdam, Paris and Calais
Puerto Rican sassafras tofu every day
wouldn't it be unbearable to breakfast on the quay
and hear the strains of spring song in the clay
and dance with every cousin on the way

television windows are shinin in the night
evangelic bookkeepers are totalin the flight
wouldn't it be unprintable to document the blight
and turn a dreary drifting to the right
and link a line of stoppage to the fight - chorus
