Pre-view of Lyrics for "Heaven or Bust" (New Tune)

Hello Out there :)

I tend to write and produce in spurts... when Inspiration lights the way... I wrote this song a while back in Muse of Prefect Harmony...  I'll be posting the song on www.Revebnation.com/joemackey for exclusive download after the 29th of December... Come by and support New Artists by taking a Listen and/or leaving a comment/ becoming "Fan"...

Heaven or Bust

Oh... I'm Fallin' In... Oh... I'm Ready to Win...
Oh... I Catch a Glance Through Your Hair...
Oh... I Think "Why do I even Dare?"
Oh... I Got my Face in the Wind...
Oh... "Honey, Where are we Goin'?"

Cause Honey, What About Us?
What Do We Have? If We Don't Have Trust?
I'm on My Way To Heaven or Bust...
So Jump on My Summer Bus...

And Let me Take you to a Place...
Where Beauty Hides No Face...
Let me Take You Where...
All the LOVIN' Is Fair!!!
Let Me Take You Where The Lovin' Is Fair... Yeah Yeah...

Oh... I don't Want Your Reasons...
Why You Commitin' This Treason...
I Can't Believe I didn't Take you Anywhere...
Think to Myself "Why Did I Even Dare?"
And Now I'm Going Crazy... Over You... My Daisy...

And Honey, What About Us?
What Do We Have? If We Don't Have Trust?
I'm on My Way To Heaven or Bust...
So Jump on My Summer Bus...

And Let me Take you... to a Place...
Where Beauty Hides No Face...
Let me Take You Where...
All the LOVIN' Is Fair!!!
Let Me Take You Where The Lovin' Is Fair... Yeah Yeah...
Take You Where The Lovin' Is Fair... Yeah Yeah... Yeah Yeah...

The Days First Light - Craig D.

The Days First Light
A Magnificent display of Natures Beauty
America
Land of the Weird
Desserts make for Strange Conference
Grounds when talking to Pineapples
Of course a Coconut would be the
Only Botanical Bohemian out
in this Now Warm Sun
     Transient and Crystalline
      How Sweetly the Meomories Reply
     Themselves while NEw Adventures
     Lies Underfoot
Sometimes I Get the Urge to
BOOGIE!!
My Toes start Tappin'
Arms go Flappin'
DAMN!!
     It's Good to Be Alive
          JAH Rhythm
     One Love
          One Peace

Iridescent Shadows Fall Where
They May
Let this Offering Suffice
If Not ??? Walk through the
Valley offering the Very Fruit of
Our Souls Ere this Land of
Bitter Tears be Forgot.

SHAZAM

"The Days are gone when the Ox Fall down..."

RIP Jerry!

I am pretty sure this speaks for itself if anyone has even walked on Northeastern Campus or been in that part of B-Town...

Song I am working on "The Great Swindle"... Kinda like what is going on in Reality...

The Great Swindle

So look at What the Future Brings
Power's an illusion the Devil Sings
The Politicians Rant and Rave
But they don't Really Care Cause they Got it Made
They do not care about the People they've Enslaved
They don't really care about Society
No no no... Just the Money
They're Playin' Monkey in the Middle
In This here Great Swindle

Oh this Life... Oh this Time...

They Don't know what's it's like to Save for an Education
Or what its like to Pray for Salvation
And They don’t know how Tough it is to find a Good Job
Or what its like to get attacked by a Lynch Mob
And They Don't Know What it's Like to Lose a 1st Born Son
Underneath Foreign Suns
And they are all Real Good Speakers
Because they don't have to worry about the price of Gas, Rice or Sneakers
And Devil Smiles as he plays his Fiddle
Cause they Got it Made in this here Great Swindle

Oh this Life... Oh this Time...

So take Another Kickback Man
Cause you don't know Second Mortgages, Second Shifts, or Second Hand
And just like children they Know how to Pretend
Pretend to do the Best that They can
And Who Knows What’s in their (The) Master Plan
World This and World That.. The End of the Free Man
They're Playin' Monkey in the Middle
In This here Great Swindle

Oh this Life... Oh this Time...

What Happened to the Worth of The Word of the Common Man?
Its been Lost in (the empty space of) Time's Hourglass’s Sand
And They won't know how tough it is(What it’s like) to wait in a welfare line or to have to Walk (Cross) the Picket line
They don't know what its like working for the Man, The Union or to wait in a bread line in the Soviet Union
They don't know about the Struggle and Strife cause they are disconnected from the Common Life
Just living their Good Lives on The Backs of YOU and ME
They're Playin' Monkey in the Middle
In This here Great Swindle

Oh this Life…. Oh this Time…

We Got Leaders of Nations Fighting Like Children (in the/our Backyard)
And Scars are Scars but This has Gone on Far to Long And Far Too Far...
Spun Grand illusion upon Society's Spindle
As you Wake up to the Great Swindle

Oh this Life... Oh this Time...

(Not finished but wanted to share)

The Story of You and Me

And I've been working on These Forlorn... Forgotten Conversations of Our Salvation... Is it Right or Wrong? Is It Black or Is It White? All I really Know is that you have to Love (and Share) and Keep on Keepin' on.. On and On.. On and On...

And I've been Working on a Little Song for You and Me... Something to Right my Wrongs and To Make Our Days... SUNNY... Honey, Come to me, Love me, and Show ME How to Love, show me How to Love... Again... Again, again...

And Who Knows? If We'll Ever Know? And Maybe We'll See? Well YEAH You and Me... Just How Long... Till You're Back With Me... Na-na-na

And I've Been Workin' On the Story Of You and Me... From the Bitter to the Sweet... From the Day I Left... To the DAY WE MEET... OH Honey, Come to Me, Love Me, and SHOW ME HOW TO LOVE, Show me how to Love A-gain, again, again...

And Who Knows? If We'll Ever Know? And Maybe We'll See? Well YEAH You and Me... Just How Long... Till You're Back With Me... Na-na-na

Revelations of Late Brother

This is from one of my Craziest Friends who has been Lost for more than 5 years stumbling and adventuring through the American Twilight... I found out this past week that he has Finally Surfaced on the West Coast... He is one of my True Soul Brothers... this was the Last thing he Wrote me before he Disappeared into the Night... I affectionately refer to him as "Stanley" after a certain homeless Cat I knew growing up as a Kid... now that he is Back again I feel compelled to share some of his most wonderfully Beautiful BUT Krazy Musings... I hope you enjoy... and yes it may be hard to figure out what he is saying... it is what I would consider Convoluted Squared... oh and that small piece of hair thats longer than the others... it had a special name... which I will reveal some other time in one of the Many Crazy Stories I will share about our Adventures...

 
Revelation of Later Brother
What the "F"? How many times does it all have to come down before you run her down to her own Confrontations. She'll come to you Childlike, screaming "Fill my Empty Space!" Filling/ freaking your head with Song all below Forgotten, half holding you Beyond anything you thought you Knew. When you Dreamed of her own Knowledge, Being kinder Than You Knew. Silent Promise you begin to Doubt. Finding yourself again Unable to ascertain the Fundamental Knowledge of Self you Possessed all ways hiding it from Yourself until she Revealed her own Identity within you being the Same Soul... Soft begins her touch completely filling every Empty Space. How can you Compare? Maybe its the Jealousy ????? before you or the Absolute Beauty A Man can never Possess. What she is Compares Not to Death.

Musings from the End of Summer... Prelude to Revelations of Late

Well its been a long long time since I've seen you my friend.  How you elude me in these Days of Fear and how you Tease yet Terrify me.  I sit here and can't even gain any perspective. I'm not sure who I am or where I am going or what I am doing.  Cosmic Fog.  I cannot contain the water in my eyes and the feeling of having Lost my way one more time, and again.  I have no one to turn to, to Muse My Pathetic State of Complete and Total Despair.  sweet Escape calls me by Name and Beckons to me to take Up and Leave everything behind.  Where do I even Start? Where does it all end?  When does it Begin?   The Longer you Carry the Load the Heavier it Gets. 

Day 1 - MackaroniWorld

My musings will be available shortly... to hear the songs that they have inspired please go here > http://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/pages/Joe-Mackey-Spookie-Magik-Phunk-Rythumb-Review/111394078927721 or to my Reverberation account http://www.reverbnation.com/joemackey

Mr. MackaroniWorld ;-)
