Can u dig it?
Make you turn like a record, baby, spinnin, keep it goin around
Can u dig it?
When all the world's gone mad but cha won't let it take you down
Can u dig it?
Just shake yourself to the sky, go crazy when you hear them say:
Can you dig it,
Can you dig it,
Can you dig my funky way!
All that love
And all that glitter,
The people come,
And the room is all spinnin around,
(like a muthah)
Through this night,
Before the sunrise,
I'll bring you home,
Can you dig it, all over the world?
Can u dig it?
Check: your brother, your sister and the DJ up in the booth,
Can u dig it?
Can we burn a light so bright that we all can see the truth?
Can u dig it?
When the night's so cold, can this room keep love alive?
Can you dig it,
Can you dig it,
Can you dig this funky vibe!
All that love
And all that glitter,
The people come,
And the room is all spinnin around,
(like a muthah)
Through this night,
Before the sunrise,
I'll bring you home,
Can you bring it, all over the world?

Bad Idea
03:11

who's that,
high heels walking on the wire?
lay back
she's no stranger to the shark.
no names -
let's all keep it nice and easy
brain games,
coattails flappin' in the wind.
And we all turn round
From the bear to the monkey,
And we all fall down,
It's the natural law,
Will you wait for me
On that day so fateful
When we all turn out,
From the feather to the claw?
Black book
Take up study by the candle
Don't look
Don't trust anything you see.
Don't tell
Just give them something they can handle
I'll just
Lock this down inside of me
And we all turn round
From the bear to the monkey
And we all fall down,
It's the natural law,
Will you wait for me
On that day so fateful
When we all turn out,
From the feather to the claw?
You find a grand design -
Where you think you broke the pattern
But the pattern never dies.
You've got that restless mind,
But there's a pattern in the pattern
And you know this is a bad idea
I know, you let it go,
But there's a fire in the belly
And the fire's got to grow-ow-ow
I know you love it so,
But there's a truth behind the truth
And this was all just a bad idea.
You find a grand design -
Where you think you broke the pattern
But the pattern never dies.
You've got that restless mind,
There's a pattern in the pattern
And you know this is a bad idea

Fly Away
02:59

Come down, we one mix, one mind,
Come down, selecta, rewind
Come on, come on, take this prize
Look up, look up, eye in the skies
Yah, How do we get by, yah
With these crazy minds
At end of day-o
Mi gonna play-o
And that's the way-o
Before mi fly away, ay ay-o
Fly your colors,
Everyone, be lovers
And that's the way-o
Before mi fly away, ay ay-o
Hold up hold up, here at last
The bass, the bass: atom blast
The top, the top: all in all
Standing tall,
To die and to live, yah,
Again and again, yah,
One love never fall

BreakDown
04:09

|
My life,
My lovin'soul, my heart,
My rock of no surrender
My battleship that wins it all
My mind, my mastery,
My, my. My everything I live for:
This is how I stand before I fall.
Breakdown, so I breakdown,
A little more sad
A little more afraid
A little less arrogant, I think
Breakdown, yes I breakdown,
And now you're gone
And it all falls down
And I ain't gonna never be the same
Time to think, I got the time
To think, what I could have done
To try to figure out: what changed? (what's true?)
And back it comes, back it comes back, you're the one to blame here
But how could anyone blame you?
Breakdown, yes I breakdown,
A little more sad
A little more afraid
A little less arrogant,
I think
Breakdown, yes I breakdown,
There's something gone
And it all falls down
And I ain't never gonna be the same

Just Can't Help Yourself
04:43
|

|
Some days
I wish I could see
Or ask for assistance
From something, or somebody
Sometimes
There's nothing to do
But try to push through
All the troubles you're causing me
And when you're lifting me up so you can take me down,
You know the perfect trick to keep me hangin' around.
What 'cha gone and done
With my only one,
yah yah,
So bad,
I had to get back and now I can't,
Oh, what 'cha done
That I can't outrun,
But you just can't help it,
You just can't help yourself
Some ghost
You're talkin' again
With a present of the future
That you shoulda been livin' in
That's what
You dread the most, yeah,
That vision of some other
Descision that coulda been
And all the world within your eyes,
and its injustice,
It brings me home again to lose my mind
and bitch for hours
What 'cha gone and done
With my only one,
yah yah,
So bad,
I had to get back and now I can't,
Oh, what 'cha done
That you can't outrun,
But you just can't help it,
You just can't help yourself

Keeping the Light
05:14
|

|
You'll be keeping the light
Tonight, tonight;
I'll be keeping you close
In sight, so bright
We fell four thousand miles;
And here we are alone
Wandering through these dreams;
We never made it home
You'll be keeping the light
Tonight, tonight;
And I'll be keeping you close
In sight, so bright
This weight around your wrist
That world around your head
These sights are all unseen,
Our words are all unsaid.

Toodah Beat

She was born to move
Like a jewel, like a rule,
Like a killer bee.
Queen of the city,
She's the most,
She's a ghost,
She's the queen of me, uh huh,
Me? I was born to be alone,
And play the fool,
Lotta boxes to check
Lotta stuff to wreck,
Lotta strokes in the swimmin' pool.
Now don't be tellin' me that I'm too fast,
I can't go slower, no no no,
Don't you be tellin' me that I'm too high,
I can't get lower
You put your body in the beat,
to the beat, to the beat,
You're madness on the floor
When we be moving in the heat, in the heat,
Get set to turn it out once more
And put your body in the beat,
to the beat, to the beat,
oh-ho we're crazy on the floor
When we be moving in the heat, in the heat,
Get set to turn it round once more
Here's the consumate jester:
Libertine
Make a scene
Make you lose your grip-ahh
Got that gift of crazy
All the players takin' notes
On the way he trip, uh huh,
We were born to be lonely
Just takin' and takin' the ends we get, uh huh
We were born to be lonely
And we'll be makin', an yeah makin' the most with it
So don't be tellin' me that I'm too fast,
I can't go slower, no no no,
Don't you be tellin' me that I'm too high,
I can't get lower
You put your body in the beat,
to the beat, to the beat,
Aw, you're madness on th e floor
When we be moving in the heat, in the heat,
Y'all set to b urn it up one more
And put your body in the beat,
to the beat, to the beat,
oh-ho we're crazy on the floor
When we be moving in the heat, in the heat,
Get set to run it out once more
and here we go...

That Unicorn
03:17

|
2 3 4
You win the high score
Won't you show me
This is how we play
This could be hardcore,
This could be legendary
I won't shut down
Till we see the break of day
Pistol to cannonball
Progress, or protocol?
I'd rather lose it all
than gain dominion,
I am that unicorn,
But I am so forlorn,
Because, you see,
I've never met an equal
I want protection,
You want a plaything
You need correction
Do we play the same game?
Take your position
Make me an adversary
If you can hang, girl,
Welcome to my hall of fame
I fear, we are betrayed:
Hand me my dueling blade
Within your palisade
We might find shelter
Prologue to curtain call,
Sometimes we risk it all
And even so,
To know that I have failed her.
The art of sabotage
Takeover arbitrage
It's my campaign
But it's your move now,
Revealing unto you
Why I am so forlorn,
This is my tale
And I am that unicorn
Pistol to cannonball
Progress, or protocol?
I'd rather lose it all
than gain dominion,
Revealing unto you
That figure I am borne,
This is my nature
I am that unicorn

I don’t know
Where to begin
Now it’s happenin’ all over again?
The things we’ve been through together
While the world sucked
Now we’re back in trouble again?
Truth or dare,
It strippin' us bare,
Oh, do ya' know it’s all a trick in your head.
All these things
They're clippin' your wings
Though ya know I got something to spread?
This is the bang, the bang,
Asking like an exclamation,
It’s the rage to engage
Your mental machination
To bang, we bang,
Bigger than a star,
Make the sky fall down
As they wonder what you are.
Way too proud
You broke from the crowd
Always tryin' so hard to be true
First last time,
You're turnin' to crime,
But ya' know, that's all you can do
Truth or dare,
It stripped us bare,
You came to know it’s all a trick in your head.
All those things
They clipped your wings
You got something else you can spread?
And so we bang, we bang,
Ask me like an exclamation,
It’s all the rage to engage
In mental machination
To bang, we bang,
Bigger than a star,
Then let the sky fall down
As I wonder what you are.
And we really don’t want to ask,
So let’s split this abyss in half,
'Cause the universe doesn’t care,
If you’re afraid of the dark,
[Then we can bang, we bang,]
Ask me like an exclamation,
It’s all the rage to engage
In mental machination
To bang, we bang,
Bigger than a star,
Then let the sky fall down
As they wonder what you are.
Yeah bang, the bang.
The bang, the bang.

All that seems to be
Across the land and sea
Forces moving clocks,
And boulders
All on the run
From that devil Sun
Lie ourselves in grass
Find ourselves at last
Honeymagic
Moving color
The Dream, and Backward One:
The pattern I become
A call from far away
Light creeps into day
Only emptiness
Sweet harmony of sadness
Wraps the world
In its dark fold

Bob Hinrichs Lincoln, Nebraska
Wow, thanks to you awesome people who reviewed my songs, I'd love to give you all a big
hug!
I've made music all my life. I was so driven that I commandeered my dad's cassette tape deck and my grandfather's reel-to-reel, so that I could play over a recording and record the result, back-and-forth, until it was mostly white noise. But I kept going and am still at it!
