You Inside My Telephone!
(*MAIN*)It happens every time,
Just when I get to like someone,
It starts with the promise to drop a line,
Then they play the shrinking act and run,
It is writtin in the stars,
It must be a sign,
(*CHORUS*)Hey, you inside my telephone,
Wish you would get big and materialize,
Love is majic so just crawl on through & get big,
You are sure to give me a rise,
I won't tell a soul and I'm all alone,
(*MAIN*)Everyone hide's inside my phone,
Like some kind of StarTrek joke,

*Live long & prosper is all I hear,

Open your flood gates,

Beautiful melodious feelings sent,
Chills run strait up my spine,
Your shine the finest the most blinding ever seen,
Your way is the all time bestest ever & your all mine,

The past is only blues,
We must strive for loves path that shines,

Surfing hollow raging waves of love,
On an ocean of tomorrows,
Surfing our waves of love,

Reflecting off the water like an ocean scene,
By now muse you must know like the surf,
You are the only one,
So lets keep moving forward,
We can surf through green rooms or run,
We know our way around loves ocean surf!

When yer warned for yer life to run,
He's da killer elite loon,
Devil with the green envious face,
(*CHORUS*) Lookin fer love,
Around every corner hour,
Can't imagine a girl like you,
Fallin in love with a guy like me,
Heads or tails like a coin toss ride,
Flip me and sea,
Will you sea Jeckal or will it be Hide,
Well what will I be?

The Cliché Man!
This is the best way,
I know to publish & get my thoughts down,
Ya sea I had this idea Thanksgiving day 2002,
I'm right here if ever you need me, Yea I'll be around,
Because everything I say is in a cliché,
Yea yea yea nothin better to do,
So my sister Mick dubbed me, The cliché man,
And if SNL or anyone tries to steal my ideas,
Well this is my proof,
No matter where ya go, There ya are,
No one better let this cat outta da bag,
Because that would be a drag,
Can't we all get along,
Sounds like some kinda song,
I'm a lover not a fighter,
Live long & prosper like Spok said,
Had to publish this stuff or die & I'm a shmoozer not a loser,
I just made life a peace of cake again,Just do it,
No more fussing & fighting my friend,
(Oops just did it again).

Green Flashes On The Ocean!
There are millions of waves in the ocean,
We seem to make so much out of one,
Just a story who cares where you've been,
Their beauty is so bright & everlasting,
We just get old too fast,
Things turn out the way they will,
Waves just keep on rolling,
The surf can never sit still,
We have to live for all it's worth,
The hear & now must be eaten,
Live learn and love till you get your full,
Green flash on the ocean is so rare a catch,
So spectacular and so true,
When we sea it again,
We'll be altogether different people,
Our loves hates and cares will have changed,
Dreams that matter so much like waves on rocks tend to dash,
In case we get the opportunity,
To perchance witness the ocean sun sinking past the horizon's
*GREEN FLASH*

I Have 2 Hand It 2 U
Your agenda you alwayz hid,
Your mystery will never be solved,
You stole my heart,
4 that you'll never be absolved,
Yea you knew I'd give the shirt off my back,
4 the instant family,
So you attacked,
hook repeats twice I have 2 hand it 2 u,
From under what rock did you crawl,
Your slime made me take a fall,
(main) I need 2 know if those were your plans,
To end all my friendships b4 they set sail,
With a pirate 4 a brother named Capt.. hook,
The trailer trash mother from out a bad book,
Those pouty lips sure made me fall,
Despite all the warning signs,
I never made the call.

IN THE HONEY WINGS!
It's been too long a time,
Think I have lost my mind,
Have you seen it anywhere,
Gots plenty of pearls to send,
About time I shared,
There are fences to mend,
All I want to do is hide,
In my angel's honey wings,
So you say you want to be my friend,
Then let me go for a ride,
Okies I'll be your friend on your end,
If you let me hide in some wings,
Yes I am a bronco buster,
Girl I just love to rodeo,
Think of all the strength I could muster,
If I went backstage in my angel's honey wings,
Yes it's been damn near 4 ever,
Since I went backstage,
So if you need me,
I'll be hiding in my angel's honey wings,

Loves Limb
Go for it,
Step out on loves limb,
Fear is the opposite of love,
You may have heard that it's hate,
Sure as stars fall like tears from above,
Fear makes people quit,
Love is a matter of fate,
Half the fun is the fall to the ground,
For those kind of screams,
I can hardly wait,
Hates best friend has got to be pain,
So no fear my friend,
That just drives you insane,
Don't be no wall flower,
Dance out on loves shaky limb,
repeat till that limb starts to shake

Love's quarter Tones Corner Hours!
Musical time sings on by me,
I just let love's song sing on,
Never is there a rush,
Now eighth notes are just my speed,
Quarter tones move too fast out to sea,
Love's songs like the sway of her mush,
No fear, Loves Quarter tones corner hours,
Love waits for me around every turn style,
So I just keep on picking flowers,
Lover always hides a gift in her back door,
Her quarter tones corner hours,
She knows my tune,
In the shadows she hides,
Her love is like the changing tides,
Only I can sea her by the light of the moon,
Stephanie loves to just disappear,
Behind the waves of the sea,
No fear, Loves quarter tones corner hours,
My love's song waits for me around turns styles,
Quarter tones corner hours,

Mark. H. Colburn.

That's That Then!
Love is there,
You can smell her wind song on the breeze,
When I'll run through love's soft sweet forest,
She never heard me fall,
Love can be blind,
So we have to help her win the day,
Love never notices flowers from trees,
A little flower picked from your yard,
To help her find your way,
Don't bother with the store bought brand,
She needs a guy with time to pickup the flowers,
To gently place in her hands,
She is waiting around the corner hours,
Just have faith in the flowery child when,
You'll sea when she sings the tune,
Love will sing all through your lonely lonely nights to you,
THAT'S THAT THEN,
Love knows this song,
She is always true blue,
True love can never be wrong, Repeat till That's That Then!

A Rose By Another Name!

(*CHORUS*)F--G--A--G--A--B--C-->REPEATS 4 EVER!
Have you ever traveled this country?
You should go from coast to coast.

That belongs to its host.
Great mountains to climb,
The sun that shines,
Stunning oceans and lakes
Alive with pitching surf--
From coast to coast,
You should travel and see
The allurement that I have seen.
All the Earth's sensation is right here.
Our fathers that gave their lives,
It's all in our back yard.
God bless America
From coast to coast!

Theres a horse of another color,
A bad dream that must be shared,

Bucked off a fine horse called midnite shade,

And turn me on with yer flower power,

In no time I'd let in your sun,
This wall flower has a hankerin for the shine from you,

Whisper yer sweet songs I'll tickle yer petals,
Add yer sugar & help me grow,
Thats just da way I am yet somehow I know you know!

Drove da baddest truck,
Surfed da rad greenest room surf,
Stood at da very peak of my turf,
His beaches His waves His beaches His gals His surf,

Jumped into football games,
With da finest *NO FEAR GEAR*,
Cept 4 1 tiny detail was da man of da year,
(*CHORUS*)In 1 FELLSWOOP everything changed,
Here's a song for the blues,
FELLSWOOP everything crashed hard down,
Forgot how much attention ta detail should've been used,

Just stopped standing by 4 rolls like a clown,
Used ta swim with da fishes teach em school sea,
Flew with da tweetys & freed my soul,
Never b4 asked 4 whom da bells toll,
Now I now they toll 4 me,
(*CHORUS*)FELLSWOOP! Repeat till ya feel da blues*

Climbing to the crux is the risky rush,
Climbed before so my heart has had the test,
Falling so hard turns my heart to a frisky mush,

Soaring like a eagle is a big chance,
Stretching foot& hand holds slip slide,
On my way there might as well dance,
Loves big risk taker right in grooves & glides,
Takes a risky dip 4 romance,
(*MAIN*)A great muse although very risky,
Keeps me dreaming of a crux,

Feeling kinda frisky,

UNDER THE BURNING SUN

His mouth is gaping open,
There's never enough to eat,
Sea the big man,
Driving in his Cadillac,

Dies of a heart attack,

We are one,
Under the burning sun,
We are one,
We are one,

(*MAIN*)Some make it better,
Some make it worse,
Some feel for the situation,
Some are the curse,
REPEAT CHORUS ON ON TO PRT 2!

(*MAIN*)F---C---G---C--D-C---*
Aren't we all children under the son,
Just grabbing a glimpse of life,
Then it's done,
Then it's done,
(*CHORUS*)C---F--C----G--C->REPEATS TWICE-*
Under the burning sun etc...
(*MAIN*)Time is growing late now,
Why must all things come to an end,
Just like a tree in the wind,
Soon to break cause there's no room to bend,

We are one,
Under the burning sun,
We are one,
We are one, repeats till you bend!
