Running it to the right
Running it to the left
Tag, you're it!
Running it through the day
Running it through the night
Tag, you're it!

Verse 1:
I'm living my life in affliction
Inside this mind caught in a daze
With time's burden weighing me down

Fast circling the corner of consternation
Trying to plow through this foggy haze
With both hands held out in front of me
---
Chorus:
Tag, you're it!
Day running outta sunlight
Tag, you're it!
Passing it on then exit
Tag, you're it!
Keeping your dreams in sight
Tag, you're it!
Living your life as you see fit
Tag, you're it!
Running into the dark of night
Tag, you're it!
---
Verse 3:
I'm fueling on slick desperation
To escape out of this nebulous maze
By knocking down stops blocking me

Slow starving in life with a soul to feed
With time's reality spinning in sways
Its mirror reflecting back parts of me
---

Tag, you're it!
Day running outta sunlight
Tag, you're it!
Passing it on then exit
Tag, you're it!
Keeping your dreams in sight
Tag, you're it!

Tag, you're it!
Running into the dark of night
Tag, you're it!

I'm living my life in absolution
Dropping all guilt weighing my days
Releasing all burdens freeing me

Sly turning left on a side street
Dodging below life's infernal blaze
Where danger is taking swipes at me
---

Tag, you're it!
Day running outta sunlight
Tag, you're it!
Passing it on then exit
Tag, you're it!

Tag, you're it!
Living your life as you see fit
Tag, you're it!
Running into the dark of night
Tag, you're it!
---
Verse 7:
I'm living my life high on inspiration
That's giving my life the perfect glaze
With fresh oxygen refueling my dreams

Fully shaking it off and moving my feet
To escape out of this twisting craze
By keeping life straight in front of me

Tag, you're it!
Day running outta sunlight
Tag, you're it!
Passing it on then exit
Tag, you're it!
Keeping your dreams in sight
Tag, you're it!
Living your life as you see fit
Tag, you're it!
Running into the dark of night
Tag, you're it!
---
Verse 9:
I'm living my life in deliberation
Bowing down with eternal praise
Letting my caged soul run free

Verse 10:
Slow running this pass tastes so sweet
I return it back with a glowing gaze
With life overflowing with love for me
---
Chorus:
Tag, you're it!
Day running outta sunlight

Tag, you're it!
Keeping your dreams in sight
Tag, you're it!
Living your life as you see fit
Tag, you're it!
Running into the dark of night
Tag, you're it!

When the Levee Breaks - #2
---
Verse 1:
Time's a salutary snake charmer
Shedding past emotional scars
Of fragile skin worn and woven
Over love's bid for self-protection

Verse 2:
Love is time's peaceful disarmer
Dissolving life's deep-laid walls
Liberating us from our bound past
When destiny's die was fatefully cast

Evolving Refrain 1:
When life pushes us out of bounds
Our dreams will pull us back around
If love's levee breaks the ground
---
Chorus:
When we're looking for love's answers
Standing at the edge of a precipice
Time leads us to ask these questions

If the levee overtops
Who are we gonna call?
Should the levee breach
Will we take a fall?
When the levee breaks
Will we lose it all?

Time's questions leave their mark
That weigh heavy on love's levee
As we listen to the song of the lark

If the levee overtops
Will we heed the call?
Should the levee breach
Will time break our fall?
When the levee breaks
Will love save us all?
---
Verse 3:
Time's a taker of our quelling years
Releasing our soul's wild nature
Revealing dreams beneath live flesh
Held deep within our feral hearts

Verse 4:
Love is time's morpher shapeshifting fears
Transforming us from idle dreamers
Into ardent doers caught in a glimmer
Clockwise chasing chimeras unseen fate

Evolving Refrain 2:
If life pushes us to its end
Our dreams will pull us back in
If love's levee breaks the bend
---
Chorus:
When we're looking for love's answers
Standing at the edge of a precipice
Time leads us to ask these questions

If the levee overtops
Who are we gonna call?
Should the levee breach
Will we take a fall?
When the levee breaks
Will we lose it all?

Time's questions leave their mark
That weigh heavy on love's levee
As we listen to the song of the lark

If the levee overtops
Will we heed the call?
Should the levee breach
Will time break our fall?
When the levee breaks
Will love save us all?
---
Verse 5:
Time's a mystical dream weaver
Sifting visions through an hourglass
As we wildly search and wander
For life's sacred gathering houses

Verse 6:
Love is time's hands' mortal retriever
Weaving together our kindred lives
Connected by life's liminal moments
As we cross great continental divides

Evolving Refrain 3:
If life pushes us face down
Our dreams will pull on our head crown
When love's levee breaks the ground
---
Chorus:
When we're looking for love's answers
Standing at the edge of a precipice
Time leads us to ask these questions

If the levee overtops
Who are we gonna call?
Should the levee breach
Will we take a fall?
When the levee breaks
Will we lose it all?

Time's questions leave their mark
That weigh heavy on love's levee
As we listen to the song of the lark

If the levee overtops
Will we heed the call?

Will time break our fall?
When the levee breaks
Will love save us all?

Cannon Fodder...
---
Verse 1:
13 years waggin' the fraggin' Vietnam War
MLK was murdered in Memphis April of '68
The Kennedy Brothers had shot their fate
Jaded hippies ramped out peace's back door

Verse 2:
The South was killin' commies North in 'Nam
Back in the USA peace wasn't worth a damn
Leaders were baggin' citizens with burnt lies
War-torn flags slagged off crashed out homes
---
Chorus:
The leaders of the world
Are masters of our wars
Who want more money, more oil, more land
Their need for more more more is killing us all

The leaders of the world
Are masters of our wars
Who buy to sell soldiers on a dime
As cardboard cannon fodder for wartime

The leaders of the world
Are masters of our wars
Who'll kill us in the name of peace, oil and greed
They'll kill us all for their power feed
---
Spoken Bridge 1:
What now of this Modern Day Promised Land?
As denizens stood separately disunited by wars
Listening to war hawks dividing them with deceit
---
Verse 3:
Stealth bombers of peace flew gray skies
Loomin' fierce over stark patriotic lies
In a mercenary world where greed never dies
Corporate profiteers struck citizens on their knees

Verse 4:
In the gov's quest to keep freemen in line
Iron fists of war punched holes in their peace
Dislimbed soldiers wadin' through blood's lake
Feedin' enemy slices of napalm pound cake
---
Chorus:
The leaders of the world
Are masters of our wars
Who want more money, more oil, more land
Their need for more more more is killing us all

The leaders of the world
Are masters of our wars
Who buy to sell soldiers on a dime
As cardboard cannon fodder for wartime

The leaders of the world
Are masters of our wars
Who'll kill us in the name of peace, oil and greed
They'll kill us all for their power feed
---
Spoken Bridge 2:
What now of this Modern Day Promised Land?
Bloodied soldiers who drowned in sands of death
Vultures picking away at their bombed-out flesh
---
Verse 5:
Victims of war dancin' on shards of pain
Soldiers dying for pseudo patriotic freedoms
Red rage floodin' through their burstin' veins
Spillin' out for oil over camo'd landmines

Verse 6:
Death's hands creating sculptures of mourning
Out of crimson blood mingling with umber dirt
War's bitter taste lingered upon their ashened lips
While lone soldiers wept for dead brothers in arms
---
Chorus:
The leaders of the world
Are masters of our wars
Who want more money, more oil, more land
Their need for more more more is killing us all

The leaders of the world
Are masters of our wars

As cardboard cannon fodder for wartime

The leaders of the world
Are masters of our wars
Who'll kill us in the name of peace, oil and greed
They'll kill us all for their power feed
---
Spoken Bridge 3:
What remains of this Modern Day Promised Land?
No Medal of Honor pinned upon a dead soldier's limp body
Will keep parents mourning hands from burying their lost children
---
Verse 7:
Late day national anthem sung out with wrath
Freedom's flags clung to battle-scarred bodies
Of disavowed vets who died in the streets
Fillin' shallow graves with haunted skeletal remains

Verse 8:
Somber masks of mourning covered war-torn faces
Vying vigilant hands passionately prayed for peace
Destruction sewed sorrow into quilts of regret
Comforting lone survivors of the Vietnam War
---
Chorus:
The leaders of the world
Are masters of our wars
Who want more money, more oil, more land
Their need for more more more is killing us all

The leaders of the world
Are masters of our wars

As cardboard cannon fodder for wartime

The leaders of the world
Are masters of our wars
Who'll kill us in the name of peace, oil and greed
They'll kill us all for their power feed
---
Spoken Outro Lyrics:
What remains of this Modern Day Promised Land?
Valhalla's lost angels with crippled wings won't look down
With eyes bloodied and blind to what they've all left behind

Goodbye San Francisco...
---
Verse 1:
I traveled across many bridges of change
Cutting through hills in the heart of your city
Where I danced around inside barefoot dreams
On your sandy shores under golden sunbeams

Verse 2:
Love, I dreamt my life upon a patch of green
With patchouli wafting in your breeze
On neverending days that held no cares
As bay winds blew through my wild hair
---
Evolving Chorus 1:
How I missed the days of my carefree youth
When living and loving was my truth

Love, the moon was high and so was I
But it was time for me to say goodbye
Find my soul a brand new home
I don't know when
I don't know where
I don't know why

All I knew was
It was time for me to say
Goodbye San Francisco
'Cause my time there had passed me by
---
Verse 3:
I walked down streets wearing a diadem
Thick skin growing around my delicate bones
No longer afraid of life's sticks and stones
'Cause they could only break me if I let them

Verse 4:
Love, I soon found your city of hippied beads
No longer strung the hues of my dreams
And time was splitting at its torn seams
Inside life's swinging pendulum of needs
---
Evolving Chorus 2:
Yeah those were the days of my misspent youth
When living and loving was my truth

Love, the moon was high and so was I
But it was time for me to say goodbye
Find my soul a brand new home
I don't know when
I don't know where
I don't know why

All I knew was
It was time for me to say
Goodbye San Francisco
'Cause my time there had passed me by
---
Verse 5:
I was young and twisting in the winds then
Slick riding fast days that had no end
Time tattooed a rainbow across my heart
Till the hands of truth tore my story apart

Verse 6:
Love, I wish I knew where I was headed
So there'd be an answer to every question
That echoed inside a billion head voices
Within a world selling us a million choices
---
Evolving Chorus 3:
Long gone were the days of my wild youth
When living and loving was my truth

Love, the moon was high and so was I
But it was time for me to say goodbye
Find my soul a brand new home

I don't know where
I don't know why

All I knew was
It was time for me to say
Goodbye San Francisco
'Cause my time there had passed me by

I took a Greyhound rolling on until all was gone
Gazing out windows singing one last song
The moon hung long above the Golden Gate
Going from Fog City to Manhattan's state

Verse 8:
Love, I soon hustled years on Gotham City streets
My feet fast walking sun-bleached concrete
Strolling down sidewalks shadowed by skyrise
Pulling down dreams from its promising skies
---
Evolving Chorus 4:
So far gone were the days of my eternal youth
When living and loving was my truth

Love, the moon was high and so was I
But it was time for me to say goodbye
Find my soul a brand new home

I don't know where
I don't know why

It was time for me to say
Goodbye San Francisco
'Cause my time there had passed me by

Outro Lyrics:
Love, the time had come
For me to finally say

Goodbye San Francisco
How I loved you and lived you
With your winding streets
Wrapped around my heartbeat

Oh yeah, my love
It was time for me to say
Goodbye San Francisco
'Cause my time there had passed me by

So goodbye San Francisco
Goodbye San Francisco (repeat into fade)

While rolling stones drop

Our souls we do keep
In our dreaming sleep

Tethered to the night
Thru astral travel flight

True love will forever live
Inside halls that we roam
Of our house as eternal home
---

Beyond the soundless sound
Reach inside your soul's cave
