COMA
When you open your eyes
And everything seems a bit hazy
You feel like you cried
Or maybe you were just Crazy

And you feel & you feel & you feel & you feel
Like you just woke up from a coma...
You're just a loner
Everything's gonna be OK!

And when the pain subsides
You just wanna get up and go home
Where the fields are plush
And the deer & the antelope roam

And you feel & you feel & you feel & you feel
Like you just woke up from a coma...
Have a Corona
Everything's gonna be alright!

And you feel & you feel & you feel & you feel
And you feel & you feel & you feel & you feel
And you feel & you feel & you feel & you feel

COMA

Heavenly Angel
By: Ken David

When I sit and think… I usually think of you
You have been my greatest friend
Always had my back, always been there for me.
I will love you to the end.
You’re my only angel.

In my time of peace, I usually think of you.
You have been my greatest friend.
In my times of need, You’ve always been there for me.
I will love you to the end.
You’re my only angel.

When lie and dream, I usually dream of you
You have been my greatest friend
Always in my dreams, You’re always there for me
And I will love you to the end
'Cuz you’re my heavenly angel.

Heavenly Angel

New World Order
By: Ken David

I go to the store to buy some food
But I can’t afford milk, cheese, butter or eggs
I guess I’ll have to go out on the streets and teach myself to beg.

I ain’t all that down on my luck but inflation has gone insane.
If things don’t change really soon
I might have to leave the game.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!

There’s a TV talent show for drag queens 
Projected right into our homes
I don’t give a shit what you do
But don’t shove it down our throats.

If you think we’re governed by “We The People”
You better wake up fast.
They’re taking away all our cash and stuffing it up our ass.

Supply Chain is non-existent
Everywhere, empty shelves
Price of energy is so damn high
We might as well be in Hell.

Immigrants invading our home
That costs us 30 billion dollars a year
You can go and welcome them,
But I’m staying right here.

“SCREW THE NEW WORLD ORDER!”

In a Nutshell (In D♭minor)
BY: KEN DAVID

Grandma playin’ with the kids in the yard
She falls and breaks her arm.
I pray that things work out OK 
As I sit and watch the farm

But will you ever need me?
I’ll never know
Lord don’t ever leave me
Still need to grow

Something in the daylight
Affects me in ways
Something in the moonlight 
Gets me amazed

But “That’s Life!”

Cop pulls over some guy down the street
Then he calls in the FBI
Can’t wait ‘till I and St. Peter meet
I can finally say good-bye

“Cuz that’s life.”

“Shit Happens, that’s life in a nutshell!”

Why?

In a Nutshell

I started writing and playing around age 13.  I got used to playing in front of crowds as my English Teacher in 8th grade set up a full concert for the entire school in the cafeteria which had a stage and mic inputs and all.  I did it solo. Yea, it was kinda scary.  But I got through it.  I turned into a great stage presence with my years in bands as a frontman.  However, I got tired of performing because I had other things on my mind.  I was being held back playing songs I'd been doing for years.  New ideas had to be taken care of so I proceeded to recording on my own.  

I started off after Matrix with "The Eyes of a Madman" about a Serial Killer in 1989.  I then moved on to "How I spent My Summer Vacation" written in 1990  during my stay in Daytona Beach.  Back to Boston, I got married and in 1994 I wrote some ditties for the kids to sing.  One was "My Name Is Sammy" which is done in this collection with my original vocal to teach him with.  Then "Super Hero" done by Adam which again I used my vocal for in this collection.  But, "Princess" could not be replaced.  Only my Daughter Rebecca David could pull this one off.  Adorable piece of work.

Then I moved again to Florida and did a project where I wanted to use one word for each song title.  I didn't quite succeed but I came close.  This record was Glass in 1994.

Back to Boston in 1998, my life was pretty split into threads.  I wrote a few pieces which are now found here in the album "Out Takes."
I made a promise to myself that I was getting pretty tired of writing stuff that used the same old tired chords and my voice and my stamina just weren't into it anymore.  I wrote a song called "Dangerous Toys."  It's about an old flame that never really burned out and that flame wasn't music.  It was simply time to give it up and I haven't written anything since.  
So, here is a summary of my life works.  I hope there are some tracks in this project that you find to your liking.  Happy listening and God Bless.
