Puddytat 06:24
Puddytat Well I forget the time all the time these days…but never the moments I remember the memories and before they slip away I turn em into sonnets When the lightning strikes … I just write it down It don’t have to be right … It just has to make a joyful sound Maybe someday I’ll write my epitath But right now I really aint got no time for that I want to write a song to make the world feel good and my wallet fat Maybe someday…maybe someday… Well if I was a poet I’d use poetry to convince you your world is a beautiful place I’d used words you could lean on and drift away on and fall into a righteous space It don’t have to be heavy … Words to be unwound It doesn’t even have to be correct … It just has to make a joyful sound Maybe someday I’ll write my epitath But right now I really aint got no time for that I want to write a song to make the world feel good and my wallet fat Maybe someday…maybe someday… One of these days all my words will be done The days that were started the day I begun I don’t wanna feel like I’m breakin no kind of promise but between me and you I’m just tryin to be honest Some days I feel just like a passer by, like I’m just starin at life through the window as it rolls on by I feel like I should be writing some of this down, Maybe with a chorus that goes round and round But one of these days all my words will be gone and all I’ll have left is a song Soulrfusion COPR.2019

Echo 04:28
Echo We could be an echo of another space in time We probably should have met a little further up the line But you were living your life and I was busy living mine And sometimes Things just Work out That way The root of every evil at least every one you see Comes down to being human and it falls right at our feet You can spend your lifetime chasing all the things you cannot see And sometimes it will work out that way Just an echo a spotlight in the dark Like a planet you put a ring around my heart And I am just a gambler from the other side of midnight I watched you take a rainbow and hold it in your hands I come to you each morning like the river to the sand And I wonder yes I wonder is this part of some great plan Or did it just work out Did it just work out Did it just work out that way Just an echo a spotlight in the dark Like a planet you put a ring around my heart And I am just a gambler from the other side of midnight Copr.

Sooner or Larry If I could take a daydream and put it in a blender and mix it with a little bit of blues Turn it into sunshine and call it legal tender then we could spend it any way we choose Everybody knows that the secret to success is in the pudding not in the pie And if wishes were like ladders then we’d all be climbing on them Just trying to build our castles in the sky You either use what you got or you take what you need Whatever gets you by Sooner or later we’ll all be in the money but right now we’re doing just fine yeah we’re doin all right Me and sleepy Larry were just standing on the corner …taking bets and tellin lies Larry went and bet me that he could pull a red card from a red deck at any time Everybody knows that the card you’re looking for is always on the bottom of the pile And even even money can’t guarantee success sometimes that takes a little while You either use what you got or you take what you need Whatever gets you by Sooner or later we’ll all be holding aces but right now we’re doing just fine yeah we’re doing all right Just the other morning in the middle of the night I stopped to let the police pass on by I had had a little but Larry had a lot so I figured we’d be safe here for a while Every body knows that the wind can change direction in a moment if you look it in the eye And me and crazy Larry weren’t looking forperfection we were only trying to learn how to fly You either use what you got or you take what you need Whatever gets you by Sooner or later we’ll all have wings but riht now we’re doing just fine yeah we’re doing all right Copyright soulrfusion 2019

Shine or Burn The mirror might shine a light on all the things you cannot see The stars may shine so brightly that they blind you and me The chrome on this engine might be slowing it down A diamond’s shine won’t cover up that it was coal in the ground Once the wheel spins around and offers up your turn Why would you settle for just shining When you can burn This gold is so damn heavy tho it shines like the sun And pearls will not stay with you when your earthly days are done The shine of the bullets makes no difference to the gun The silver in your crown will eventually run When it comes time to show em everything you’ve learned Why would you settle for just shining When you can burn You know everybody who has come and gone The faded stars and legends… the shine will not live on Nothing in this world is meant to live on anyway I think it’s better to burn brightly than to shine and fade away If one chance to rise above is all you’re ever gonna earn Why would you settle for just shining When you can burn Copyright soulrfusion 2018

The Juggler 05:24
The Juggler Rollin and tumbling … Circus feast and fair I am just a juggler … I try to keep em in the air Trying to keep em in the air Trying to keep em up You may have seen me …For I am everywhere I am the juggler …I try to keep em in the air Trying to keep em in the air Trying to keep em up Everyone smiles as they pass by From whispering peasants to passers by Some exchange looks, Some just money Here for a moment and gone in the wink of an eye Balancing act hope against hope One and then two and then three in the air Waiting for one to come crashing earthbound As long as they’re flying nobody cares Step on up now Step on up now… un huh Step on up now Step on up and watch em fly Rollin and tumbling … Circus feast and fair I am just a juggler … I try to keep em in the air Trying to keep em in the air Trying to keep em up You may have seen me …For I am everywhere I am the juggler …I try to keep em in the air Trying to keep em in the air Trying to keep em up Copyright soulrfusion 2018

Superman Albert and Me Superman aint got nuthin on me sure he’s solid like a rock , tall as a tree he can jump a building in a single leap. but Superman aint got nuthin on me I’m like a fly in a Tilt-a-Whirl I’m happy just to feel the breeze Superman could fly around the world But he aint got nuthin on me Einstein aint got nuthin on me, but that might be relative as far as I can see Ol’ Albert was a genius on that much we can all agree … Einstein aint got nuthin on me I’m like a bird up on a wire Resting on my journey to the sea Einstein may have set the world on fire But he aint got nuthin on me Superman was a hero everyone could see Faster than a speeding bullet and a locomotive if you please Einstein knew that MC squared would always equal E But neither one of em …got nuthin on me La la la … Nuthin on me Copyright soulrfusion 2018

Walls 05:27
Walls You and I were gonna dance til dawn Middle of the night with our sunglasses on Sometimes you get it right even when it’s wrong Sometimes the best laid plan is just to keep on keepin on It’s all right with me I thought everyone could see That the forest wasn’t really in the way of all those trees I aint tryin to defend the sun for ever goin down I’m big enough to realize that it all gonna come back around And sometimes you can blow your horn and nothing happens You can blow your horn and nothing happens Sometimes you can blow your horn and all the walls around you will come tumbling down I will keep your secrets… I always have the time If you’re ever thirsty you know I will pour your wine I would give you my last dollar if I only had a dime I know that nobody lives forever but I think that we still have some time It’s all right with me I thought everyone could see that the forest wasn’t really in the way of all those trees I aint tryin to defend the sun for ever goin down I’m big enough to realize that it all comes back around And sometimes you can blow your horn and nothing happens You can blow your horn and nothing happens Sometimes you can blow your horn and all the walls around you will come tumbling down

The Big Cat 06:34
The Big Cat There’s a big cat out on the street tonight … looking for love but he found a fight Like so many other nights before he got a little more than he bargained for If you keep doing the same thing every time You gonna get the same thing every time You shouldn’t have to scream and shout I thought but now we could figure this out It’s What you put in to what you get out I Thought by now you shoulda figured it out I spent a lot of time looking back … put an awful lot of miles on a dead end track I’m no longer tryin to carry that load; I just want freedom and an open road Point me towards the line of the setting sun Just make sure I got enough gasoline to get the job done I’m not tryin to drive about like I always do just to figure this out Take the wheel and point it south keep on rollin until I figure it out Tell me do you think we’ll ever get any closer Or are we just driving ourselves insane I spent half my life chasing after thunder And thinkin I could out drive the rain I don’t know but I been told when you find the girl with the heart of gold Then you take both hands and hold on tight and never ever let her out of your sight You might be the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen You might be the answer to my wildest dreams I may not know what it’s all about but I think together we can figure it out I ‘m sure I don’t know know what it’s all about but I think together we can figure it out Copyright soulrfusion 2018
