George S. Clinton Lyrics
A Taste of Things to Come And Now ... Taste Of Things To Come !!…
Farewell The sun that hid a week behind the clouds is…
Friends We started out as friends Building castles in the sand Innoc…
It Has Begun When time has made its stand Maybe we will sit and…
Kids A dream is gone "Daddy's dim creation walks off the station …
Stairway You were the owner of a broken heart You didn't know…
