Flirting With Fire 04:03
lyrics

Was it good for them to do for them to lose their mind for them to be unkind even though it was impersonal oh no here we go again putting up with the blind to the pain and suffering they cause in the need to express their mind gimme gimme ga ga - spitting out the bla bla eating up the space time spattering the spit slime creating a black hole never to return stuck in the stink pot creating the burn Ohh - flirting with fire Was it good for you to do for you to give them time as they fell out of line and tried hard to shift the blame with a gaslight - condescending name fight - do you really believe the problems that they try to sell you are really your own Gimme gimme ga ga - spitting out the bla bla eating up the space time spattering the spit slime creating a black hole never to return stuck in the stink pot creating the burn

Better Off In The Real World 02:55
lyrics

I tripped and fell down a rabbit hole Thought I would lose my mind So strange to lose all of my control To someone so unkind Whining Pewling Frowning Drooling A sharp verbal rotting snaggletooth Sarcastic jagged green Flew like a knuckle ball Cut me above the spleen How was I to know what to do Seems like you can not remember Sarcasm’s the ripping of your flesh Instead of living in your lies I’m better off living in the real world I’m better off in the real world If you lie down with dogs You get up with fleas You kiss the mouth of a Zombie You get their bad disease I can’t change you - I don’t want to Seems like you can not remember Sarcasm’s the ripping of your flesh Instead of living in your lies I’m better off living in the real world I’m better off in the real world

Shade Of Blue I sit alone Looking in I’m like a rainbow My attention shines through A waterfall of tears I turn a shade of blue When I think of you I think of you too much I turn a shade of green When your being mean And poison to the touch I turn a shade of red Cause you’re in my head You’re in my head I turn a shade of brown When you let me down And you let me down I’m like a rainbow As my attention flows through A waterfall of tears I turn a shade of blue When I think of you I think of you too much I turn a shade of green When your being mean And poison to the touch I turn a shade of red Cause you’re in my head You’re in my head I turn a shade of brown ‘Cause you get me down You get me down Oh…..you get me down Oh……I turn a shade of blue When I think of you and I think of you too much I turn a shade of blue When I think of you And I think of you

Trouble 04:28

Trouble I’m talking about trouble World abuse I’m talking about trouble Gross misuse There comes a time When men should be men Embracing change Instead of what could have been You got to clear your mind Be open to new things you find Cut the ties that blind So you can Create a better day Find a better way Or else your gonna stay In Trouble I’m talking about trouble Can’t you see the signs I’m talking about trouble Do you hear the lies that don’t align There comes a time In everyones life To take a stand Or get caught up in the strife You got to clear your mind Be open to new things you find Cut the ties that blind So you can Create a better day Find a better way Or else your gonna stay In Trouble There comes a time When one must act Or cross a line That you can never get back You got to clear your mind Be open to new things you find Cut the ties that blind So you can Create a better day Find a better way Or else your gonna stay In Trouble

Oh My My 03:35
lyrics

OH MY MY VERSE We have our problems That's the truth But this constant complaining Is getting long in tooth My love for you keeps me in the room But you bury me in ice with all your talk of doom and gloom You gotta know I'm at the limit of what I agree to take It's time for you to solve this problem CHORUS Oh my my don't it make you cry Complain about your life But your spitting in my eye Ooh la la stop the bla bla Go out there and make a difference VERSE There are many people who choose to rise above The dark and emptiness They choose to fill with love I'm not saying it's an easy way to go But sure will leave you feeling better And most people like to feel good you know So maybe you can too CHORUS What's that smell - its the stories that you tell That Glorify your pain While your putting me through hell Ooh la la stop the bla bla Go out there and make a difference BRIDGE Gotta take some time Don't fill up all the empty space Gotta take some time And listen There is so much there that you can't see, can't be if you clog the veins in the artery Of your perception That turns to deception through the Inflection of the infection of pain dispelled with no direction Which splatters all factions with excrement of dissonant reaction Cause you lost traction with joy of life. Don't you know you can make a go To become part of the solution Stop the talk and start up on the walk To find a way to solve your problem CHORUS Oh my my don't it make you cry Complain about your life But your spitting in my eye Ooh la la stop the bla bla Go out there and make a difference

Promised Salvation 03:06
lyrics

Promised Salvation You better stop You better look and listen Instead of fearing of all you're missing As you blindly run while your heading for The killing floor And stop Think of what their saying And the dragons they speak of slaying Their promise glows But separates you from the world The powers that be who brought you here Are greater than those who bring you fear And promise salvation What are you believing Is it pleasantly deceiving As they bury you with rules And Force you into their inner world You better Stop Are you gonna tow the line Are you keeping your state of mind That keeps you blind And in a cell of your own making The powers that be who brought you here Are greater than those who bring you fear And promise salvation Do they tell you you are not deserving Do they say that you are separate from it all Do they say that they are the only ones who can save you They don't really know - they just want to take control The powers that be who brought you here Are greater than those who bring you fear And promise salvation

Train 03:36
lyrics

TRAIN --(Old friend on his death bed Spoke to me and said)-- VERSE Been all that I could be Built for prosperity Kept my eye on the future and the prize I did what I was told But never thought that I’d grow old And about how fast time really flys CHORUS Cause the train keeps rolling down the tracks I lost my youth and spent my time And I can not bring it back VERSE From the place that I am now I wish I took my time somehow And spent it in more joy filled ways Maybe stop enjoy the sun Take some time to have some fun Instead of sacrifices for future better days CHORUS Cause the train keeps rolling down the tracks Don’t hide from life, don’t waste your time Cause you can not bring it back Cause the train keeps rolling through the fields It’s momentum won’t yield And you can not bring it back VERSE Smell the roses, enjoy the now Make each moment count somehow As you make your success ladder climb Don’t let the destiny Blind you to the truth you see Because the journey is where you spend all your time CHORUS And the train keeps rolling down the tracks Don’t hide from life, don’t waste your time Cause you can not bring it back Train keeps rolling through the fields It’s momentum won’t yield And you can not bring it back Ride the train Ride the train Ride…LET’S GO

Stay With Me 05:04

STAY WITH ME Oh lord can you hear me now I’m trying to find a sense of you somehow I think I may have lost my way Don’t recognize where I’m staying Oh the ice is melting Oh the sirens blaring But many don’t seem to notice Nature is crying Something bout how the planet is dying But many don’t seem to hear it Oh lord give it to me straight I can take the truth A sense of how this whole things works seems different now than in my youth Life has always fed off life but are we now the curse Like a cancer growth multiply and destroy just to have a piece of heavens purse Stay with me why don’t you stay with me Help me mend these fractured hearts Oh lord please speak to me - what am I to do To fix the mess that we all made- how do we make it through How can we just stop fighting and learn to get along How can we make this planet sacred - How can we make this place like heaven All things come and then they grow to stay within this beauty All things pass and fall away to make room for the new ones Stay with me please stay with me Help me mend these fractured hearts Help me mend this fractured world

Blame It On The Rain 04:20
lyrics

Blame It On The Rain There was this story of a flood that happened long ago It washed away the sick and rancid parts within its flow for 40 days and 40 nights It tried to make the wrong things right washing away the remaining stain brought on by the rain I wanna build us an ark to save us from the flood The weather man promised storms of tears and blood He said watch out for the angry people demanding your compliance Wielding tongues with daggers poison stain As they blame it on the rain Wake up everybody The proof is clear Denying is insane Don’t blame it on the rain Look out everybody Don’t wait till it’s to late to stop the pain Don’t Blame it on the rain Wisdom come and peer into my mind Illuminate the places where I’m blind How can I make them see The proof that’s plainly visible to me Of how we destroy our earth in search of gain Then blame it on the rain Come on everybody Its time to fix this It's time to live another way Create a better day Don’t fall for the angry ones Who still find faults Point fingers with disdain And Blame it on the rain Wake up everybody The proof is clear Denying is insane Don’t blame it on the rain Look out everybody Don’t wait till it’s to late to stop the pain Don’t Blame it…. Don’t Blame it on the rain

Circle Round The Sun 04:26
lyrics

Circle round the Sun Listen - hear the unborn children call a name Is it a hero, to be worshipped or to carry the blame As the story is told Just to restart again Never ending it's run Another circle round the sun The old ones know the sting when it disappears A story line important once now fades away within the years As the plot advances on Just to renew again Never ending in its run Another circle round the sun Beautiful in the starlight It brings forth tears magnificent in beauty So delicate and poignant It fades away before the morning comes As the story moves on Just to renew again Never ending in its run Another circle round the sun...

about

The second album featuring Russ Foreman and Chuck Hippert called Flirting With Fire is now complete. Free downloads for the first 200 people.


Don't let them fool you - there is too much at stake. This album is about some of the ways we get conned by our reaction to other peoples bad behavior, our own fears, and even our own ignorance to important issues. And it is about taking back responsibility (greater ability to respond) to the need of the time.

"The powers that be who brought you here
Are greater than those who bring you fear
And promise salvation" (from Promised Salvation)

You are much greater and more important than you know.......

"There is so much there that you can't see, can't be
if you clog the veins in the artery
Of your perception
That turns to deception
through the Inflection
of the infection
of pain dispelled with no direction
Which splatters all factions
with excrement of dissonant reaction
Cause you lost traction
with joy of life." (from Oh My MY)

You have the power of choice to choose a better way - these songs covertly explore that concept.
