Thanks to Julie for reminding us what sharing art was like on the web before Facebook. It's a lot of fun to look back over songs we might have forgotten from those ancient times of 2005-2007. Here's what happens when you get carried away with puns. "Boring Alice" = borealis, etc..

PLANETARIUM

round up the school kids - put 'em on a field trip
here at the planetarium
where all of us planets - find our own orbits
here at the planetarium
big ones above us - little ones below us
here at the planetarium
starbursts and moon pies - milky ways, oh my my
here at the planetarium

do re mi
do re you
boring alice talks too much
she blasts off at the slightest touch – sailing away

monnlight, moonbright, takin’ up a nightflight
here…
solid fuel stallion – over the van allen
here…
jet full of promise – dodgin’ all the comets
here…
more graceful than judo – from mercury to pluto
here…

que sera
que paso
boring alice circles ‘round
in search of warm and friendly ground

i stare into the blackness – i stare into the sky
i stare at lunch and wonder about the twinkle in my eye

stars up in heaven – movie at eleven
here…
tom hanks we follow – up in the apollo
here…
after the breakdown, we gotta get ‘em back down
here…
‘cause breakdowns are heinous – not unlike Uranus
here…

do re mi
do re you
boring alice circles ‘round
in search of warm and friendly ground

i stare into the blackness – i stare into the sky
i stare at lunch and wonder about the twinkle in my eye

Thanks to Julie for reminding us what sharing art was like on the web before Facebook. It's a lot of fun to look back over songs we might have forgotten from those ancient times of 2005-2007. Here's one I've played a lot over the years. Written around 2000-2001

WHITE FLAGS

how do i love thee – let me count to ten
before i open up my mouth and say those words again
how can i back up with my back against the wall
i know it doesn’t bother you at all

why do i give up – only to give in
insisting on resisting on and on until the end
don’t roll your eyes back,damn you,listen to me now
i’d throw us in reverse if i knew how

cause i’m tired of pretending that this noose fits fine
and i’m just not myself around the gallows
call an emergency – call if you dare for me
out of the blue sky
where the hangman never hides

who can i finger perfectly as you
my former undercover desperado ingenue
God help the bounty hunters tracking down your heart
they just might surrender soon as start

and they’re tired of pretending that this trail aint cold
and they’re one more excuse away from leaving
call off the dogs and see who is the first to be holding their hands high
wavin’ white flags to the sky

lay it down for me….

how can you love me – let me breathe again
smothering the notion that we might be more than friends
love is the party guest that cannot take the hint
that my enthusiasm came and went

and i’m tired of pretending that this noose fits fine
and i’m just not myself around the gallows
call an emergency – call if you dare for me
out of the blue sky
where the hangman never hides

lay it down for me
and never bring it up again (i can’t get over)
no never bring it up again (i can’t get over).
