Ascending Like Flies
© 2018, Brent George, Stephanie Rearick

Once upon a time
in a land very foreign and far away
They jumped to the left and they
leapt to the right
and they shot through the air
but they had no aim

and we were squirming like worms
ascending like flies
	 I remember going down this way

Defeating the goons
defending the prize
	 feeling it was only yesterday
		like tomorrow, still a day away

When we'd had our fun and the last partygoers
had run away
we hopped to the left and we swayed to the right
and we drank to the winning of our last game
 
and we were holding our ears and
shading our eyes
	 I remember going down this way
the salt in our earth
the stars in our skies
	 feeling it was only yesterday
		like tomorrow, still a day away

When all is said and done and the last storyteller
has gone astray
we look to the left and we search to the right
and we find we been squandering our good name

and we were bating our breath
a clever disguise
hiding our smile, averting our eyes  

and when we have our fun and the lost ones party the night away
we are holding our ears and we're shading our eyes
and we're bating our breath for a happy surprise
when all is said and done and the last ones study the heart this way
we're the story to tell and the game that we play
and we're totally bare and we have no shame
and we were
  
the salt of the earth, the stars in the skies
squirming like worms, ascending like flies

Something About History
© 2016, Brent George, Stephanie Rearick

I couldn't answer to you
could only answer to
something about history
something of biology
I gotta hand it to you
could hold a candle to 
something with more mystery
needing no apology
something that I wanna be

I've got a thing for you now
I'm gonna blow your house 
down where I wanna be
down no apology

I've got it out for you now
I'm gonna blow your house
down down down down down

It's like a movie to you
just like the one where you
rewrite your history
forswear biology
You're on the screen up there too
and when you act it you're
something with more mystery
needing no apology
something that I wanna be

I've got a thing for you now
I'm gonna blow your house 
down where I wanna be
down no apology

I've got it out for you now
I'm gonna blow your house
down down down down down

I made a present for you
a little book that says
something about history
something of biology
You have a page in there too
and in the picture you're
something with more mystery
needing no apology
something that I wanna be now, now now

I've got a thing for you now
I'm gonna blow your house 
down where I wanna be
down no apology (down down down down down)

I've got it out for you now
I'm gonna blow your house
down down down down down

I've got a thing for you now
I'm gonna blow your house 
down where I wanna be
down no apology (down down down down down)

I've got it out for you now
I'm gonna blow your house
down down down down down

Hot Potato Sweet Potato
© 2016, Brent George, Stephanie Rearick
Hot potato sweet potato
3 potato 4
Nice potato mean potato
clean potato whore
If you wanna mash potato
go and shut the door
If you wanna stay a new potato
leave em wanting more

There's something about you, darling
that makes me dream in broad daylight
there's something about your eyes
and the sugar in your body
that makes me wanna dance it through the night

through the night

Pictures of Everything
© 2016, Brent George, Stephanie Rearick
You're singing in the shower like the
fool you used to be
Back when your little head was full of
curiosity 
When you ever coming home it's just a 
game of wait and see
when you ever gonna own the
surly surreality that's
that's your reality

It's in the way you think
The only way to see
Pictures of everything
They made you one of each
you want em to, you know it

Your mind is racing
faster than a rollercoaster
But if you win this game you get a
brand new toaster
And should you ever 
wonder how it's going over

Just take a look around and know your
friends and lovers 
they're only
friends and lovers

It's in the way they think
The only way to see
Pictures of everything
They gave you one of each
you asked em to, you know it

Tomorrow's winning, yesterday a grand illusion
Your tunnel vision almost made it feel like losing
but when the magic steals up in a sneak attack you
know once you find it 
there there'll be no going back there
there'll be no going back cuz

It's in the way you think
The only way to see
Pictures of everything
You made em one of each

It's in the way you think
The only way to see
Pictures of everything
You gave em one of each

you wanted to, you know it

Swampy
© 2015, Brent George, Stephanie Rearick

You seen old Swampy swelling 
his belly's fat and hairy
Could turn a reservoir in
into an estuary

His face is getting scary 
a worthy ruthless adversary
could shrink an artery down down
down to a capillary

No, a tributary 
No, an actuary
No, a sanctuary
No, a mortuary

He came from Tipperary
Said it was hot and airy
This made us shiver in our skins
like it was February

It's only temporary
Brutal but necessary
And you better write it down
Or it might come true one day

It might come true one day
It might come true one day
It might come true one day

Deluge of great proportion
You read the Bible, don'tcha
Your future's bright as Hades
You're such a lucky lady

You always thought you'd narrate
your own obituary
but you better write it down
then just drop the pen and run
run 
run 
run

Figure it Out
© 2015, Brent George, Stephanie Rearick

You're figuring out
you never joined em and
they never gave in

There's a lingering doubt
of whether you were born
or whether you've been

and you know
they wouldn't tell you
You wouldn't want em to
but they wrote it down
Krazy-Glued it to your forehead

And you barely notice
but even so you know
the last time may be
right around the corner

And you're figuring out 
	-- we know  
where you've been before
You've never yet been
	-- what love
a wavering doubt
	-- can do
of what you came here for  
and where you go when
	-- for you

And you know
I couldn't show you
You wouldn't want me to
but even the thought
gets me hot around the collar 

and you barely show it
but even so you know
the last time it
charmed your socks off

We're figuring out
	-- we know
		-- inciting now
what we need us for 
and who we need then
	-- what love
		-- subsiding how

It was never in doubt
	-- can do
		-- inviting now
what we came here for
and whether we win
	-- for you
		-- abiding

And you know
we barely show it
but even so we know
relieve it or not
it's a proper hot and bothered

And we shouldn't blow it
but friend or foe you know 
the next time we'll
knock their socks off

We're figuring out 
	-- we know 
		-- inciting now 
where we've been before
We've never yet been
	-- what love
		-- subsiding how 
a wavering doubt
	-- can do
		-- inviting now 
of what we came here for  
and where we go when
	-- for you
		-- abiding 

and you know
I need to know you
you need to know me too
believe it or not
it was written on your body

and as these things go
you can barely notice but
the last time's the charmed one

We're figuring out
	-- we know
		-- inciting now
what we need us for 
and who we need then
	-- what love
		-- subsiding how

It was never in doubt
	-- can do
		-- inviting now
what we came here for
and whether we win
	-- for you
		-- abiding

To the Nines
© 2015, Brent George, Stephanie Rearick
Ive been thinking
learned a few things
trying to get em
outa my way
before the sun stops sinking

Lately youve been playing with my mind
Lately meaning mainly all the time
Players playing something so sublime
Makes you make you make you up your mind

Ive been dreaming
bears repeating
while away a day after day
you may need to make some meaning 

Lately its been weighing on my mind
Maybe you been waiting for a sign
Let my eyes undress you to the nines
Another moment you be feeling fine

Millions out there waiting
Millions more theyre not
Whenever the day gets carried away
The humans get too hot

Millions out there wanting
Millions more than ought
Whenever the last day
flickers away you 
gave em all you got

Whenever the last day
flickers away you 
gave it all you got

Whenever the last day
flies you away you 
gave it all you got

Glitterbox
© 2015, Brent George, Stephanie Rearick
We're open
come on in and take a look around

We're hoping
that you dig our ladyscissors sound

The top's down
come take a ride with us through town

Come on  
let's give the beauty queen her crown

and whether you're a lover or hater
you'll go out of your mind

no matter if it's sooner or later
its a matter of time

wasting time
were wasting time

Get high 
on bubblegum and then get
down down down

We offer 
the finest crackerjack
around round round

The prize
is in the glitterbox you've
found found found

Our vibe
is out of sight and out of 
sound sound sound

The weatherman's coming today to
blow you out of your mind

and whether youre the mama or baby's
just a matter of time

wasted time
wasting time
whats yours is mine
stop wasting time

the civil servants
make the building shine

the little birdie's
singing all the time

Red on the inside
and sky blue sky

Play the piano and
and cry cry cry

stuff in the wonderbread
soak the strife

since noone's getting dirty and naked
lets get out of our minds

you'll be living through it sooner or later
its a matter of time

whether it's the last lucky song
or just the end of the line

Take a Ride
© 2014, Lorrie Hurckes
All the way to heaven baby on this here train
The world will keep on spinning honey, and well just laugh and sing
Every ounce of faith in me is riding on you
Will you stand beside me baby and see this whole thing through
	Ever since, ever since the first day
	That you turned around and looked my way
	I knew right away that I had to have you by my side
	So come on baby take me for a ride
Girl you look so pretty in your sensible travelling dress
and honey you set my soul on fire when your hair is all a mess
Just ride these rails with me across the continent
Our friends will know that were in love from the postcards that we send
	Ever since, ever since the first day
	That you turned around and looked my way
	I knew right away that I had to have you by my side
	So come on baby take me for a ride
Across the desert to the deep blue sea
Come on baby run away with me
This world has got me down and its a heavy load
What we need now are some miles on the road
Miles down the road girl
Miles down the road
Miles down the road girl
Miles down the road
Miles down the road
	Ever since, ever since the first day
	That you turned around and looked my way
I knew right away that I had to have you by my side
	So come on baby take me for a ride
Take a ride with me......Take a ride with me
Take a ride with me ….Take a ride with me

Bubblegum

Your cigarette was smoldering
    and glowing red and yellow
	glowing red and yellow

Five million words were spoken but you
	had em right at hello
	had em right at hello

And while the rest of all the universe
was your own Waterloo
You had all you ever really wanted

And when they want you
Oh, its like a Mello Yello
And when they need you
Yeah, youre blowing bubble gum
And when they love you
oh, its like a young bordello
When they lean close and
say youre not the only one

You had all you ever really wanted

Your idle mind was daydreaming
    and feeling sweet and mellow
	feeling sweet and mellow

You got our heartstrings singing
then you played em like a cello
	     played em like a cello

And while the rest of all the universe
was falling out of tune
you heard all you ever really wanted
you heard all you ever really wanted

vocal/instrumental/bridge

Your cigarette was smoldering
    and glowing red and yellow
	glowing red and yellow

Five million words were spoken but you

When they say theyve come to shoot you
get down and down and down and down

When the music flows right through you 
get down and down and down and down

Why dont you hear your mother there

Youre waiting on the kisses 
that always make it better

When the funnel blows right to you
get down and down and down and down

when the holy spirit moves you
get down and down and down and down

and when you hear the weatherman cursing at the weather
youre down and down and down and down

but wading in the water 
will only make you wetter
youre down and down and down and down

I remember days
whenever Id hear your voice
Id get so carried away
I tell ya it wasnt wise
I knew then but too late,
I adored you
whatever way
it went down it may
leave me cryin and singing and playin piano-o
 

but when you hear the weatherman 
talking up the weather
get down and down and down and down
Hes waiting on the kisses
that always make it better
get down and down and down and down
   
I could see a time
in order to hear your voice
I would stop
turn on a dime
and offer a joyful noise
 
I could name the ways
that I adore you
but anyway
I did yesterday
now Im crying and singing and playing piano oh

but when you see the weatherman
clearing up the weather
get down and down and down and down
Youre waiting on the kisses
that always make it better
get down and down and down and down

And when you see your mother there
yelling whats the matter
get down and down and down and down
Cuz walking on the water 
will always make you wetter

Wasting Time

Time waits for the clock
that says it goes on
and on while you talk
of time wasted

We kneel and pray
for those who cannot wait
we kneel and pray
for those who cannot wait
we kneel and pray
for those who cannot wait 
a long long time

waits and watches while you wind
the watch that says whats yours is mine
and while you mind the clock that stops
your wasted time 
from wasting time

wasting time

Long Lost Glass Shoe

Will you be my bucking bronco tonight
Will you play with me through the night
Will you be my one true love tonight
Honey you are such a beautiful sight

A sight for sore eyes, you have me hypnotized
And all else well, it seems to fade away
Cuz you've got what I want; and you've got what I need
And honey it's my hungry soul you feed

Will you give me kisses on the cheek
I bet you'll sweep me right off my feet
You're the prettiest thing I've ever seen
You could be my beauty queen

A sight for sore eyes, you have me hypnotized
And all else seems to fade away
You've got what I want; you've got what I need
And honey it's my hungry soul you feed

Will you be my revolutionary fighting machine
I bet you'll show me so many things
I could see going real real far with you
Cuz you found my long lost glass shoe

A sight for sore eyes, you have me hypnotized
And all else seems to fade away
You've got what I want; you've got what I need
And honey it's my hungry soul you feed

Love whoever they tell you
Be whoever you love

I always wanted

The neighbor lost his job again, can barely keep his family fed
and were still waiting on the government to make the changes that they said
would lift us out of this mess were in, but
instead were sitting around with bruises on our chins
Well my mama always taught me to be brave and 
to stand up for yourself even if youre afraid 
cuz it takes a lot of noise if youre gonna make a change 
so shout it from the rooftops, sing it in the rain yeah

Mamas little baby loves, Mamas little baby loves, 
Mamas little baby loves shortening bread yeah
Mamas little baby loves, Mamas little baby loves,

Last Lucky Song
© 2014, Stephanie Rearick, Brent George
Dont you love that good-looking weatherman
Came on like a hurricane
Would have made a great tornado

Drank up too much rain, now your insides are
Bursting like a water main
Cooling off this hot potato

Thought I heard you moaning and wailing, 
“Man, I got an awful pain
Lord, I need some novocaine”

And when the little birdie
that sings inside your ribcage
looks and sounds just like a dead canary

And when your best friends 
old-fashioned fancy pantsy wedding
starts to feeling kinda funerary
Thats when youve got to play
your last lucky song

Dont you know that hole in your teachers head
Oh, its like a sewer drain
leaking in and out again

Gonna stuff that hole full of Wonder Bread
Soak up all the strife and strain
Tell him its a wholesome grain

Saw that teacher holding his head, he said
“Man, I got an awful pain
Lord, I need some novocaine”

And when the little birdie
that sings inside your ribcage
looks and sounds just like a dead canary

And when that whitebread
old-fashioned spongey-wongey brainpan
starts to looking kinda green and hairy
Thats when youve got to play
your last lucky song

Gonna hoe a row on the open plain
Then you fill it up again
Drag your clanking ankle chain

Gotta grow a row of your own instead
When they take your spade away
Dare them to unleash the rain

Got that warden crying and wailing
“Man, I got an awful pain
Lord, I need some novocaine”

And when the little birdie
that sings inside your ribcage
looks and sounds just like a dead canary

And when that good time
old-fashioned honky tonky music
starts to sounding real contemporary
Thats when youve got to play
your last lucky song

Thats when youve got to play
