A sponsor
And get my
Life in order
Stay off 
The radar...

Dark shadows under her eyes
Stay off her bad side

far back from all passers-by -
signs proclaim “Stay Off The Lawn!”

At Christmas as always I ate
So much that I put on some weight
New year I must try
To stay off the pie
And next year, well I just can't wait....

You have clear vision; 
Monotony will cloud it; 
Your path is your own;
Stay off paved roads trailblazer, 
clear away the brush with fire....

did you hear about the shyful squid
who always tried hard to stay well hid
it seems he was always found out
for his tentacles flailed about
never managed to stay off the grid...

my hot pink dragon brought his sidekick Bug.
My mother yelled “Tell them to stay off the rug!”
They were not interested in coming in the house.
“It is scary in there,” the dragon said “you have a mouse”....

Whatever you say 
during your day, 
be happy and gay. 
Wherever you go, 
you can move fast or slow. 
Keep yourself in the know. 
Whoever you are, 
be yourself. 
You can travel near and far. 
Just stay off the shelf.

The light switch turns on and off.

Like my moods go from positive to negative.

I want it to stay off, but it is stuck in between.

How do I keep from falling apart?

When I just feeling like ending it all.

I guess I finally need to get help and lean on my friends.

Because I will need them the most....

With the feeling of horsepower under me,
brakes do not apply;
if you want to go the speed limit,
stay off the road, I won't be hindered.

Put the soft-top down,
I want to feel the evening wind 
blowing unfettered through my hair
and see the moon cruising with me.

I''m doing the speed limit.
Pass me if you dare,
It's on purpose that I'm within it,
my itinerant confrere.
Reconsider your position.
Please stay off my back side,
I'm in the labor force too,
Let's be safe ; enjoy the ride.
The harvest is abundant 
the laborers are mighty few,
Stick around,
The Lord may still need you....

I'm not faking , 
i hate waiting , 
this is over rating ,
look my body's shaking. 
you work on my nerve , 
stay off my turf, 

lets go in reverse , 
this is a curse.
I need a nurse,

i think i'm gönnä faint,
my body gets cold , 
and it all your fault

i need to go
stay with flow 
this is what i do
and i'm loving it!...

I'm just another player in this game
Left without control I feel no pain
Eyes stapled open to find the attached path
Slave forward and bite the led lash 
Stand still
Jump in the air
Get down 
Stay off the ground
Rules, guidelines
Follow no stay
Your crazy now sane
Eyes fade so does skin 
Now smoke this green 
I said ti do this crystal methamphetamine....

Please stay off icy 
Nineteen-year-old-girl is dead.
Please stay off the roads
Highway patrolman on news.
Is begging us to stay home

Ice under the snow
Do not travel anywhere
Car ran into bridge
East I- 70 is closed
Highway patrol is crying


Please stay off icy
Your life is too important
Your children love you
Nineteen-year-old-girl is dead.
Please stay off the roads...

Santa was a fat cat
Who gave all his wealth away,
Taking toys to boys and girls
With his reindeer and red sleigh.
The pricey gifts for which kids asked
Put Santa in the hole.
He had to get himself a job
To stay off of the dole. 
So now you find him hawking wares
Before Thanksgiving Day,
He knows he has to hustle
If he hopes to fill that sleigh.

Tap Tap
The sound of conversation
On different apps
The main focus of our generation

On your phone
You're responsible
When you're driving home
Or getting taken to the hospital

The screen is so bright
While you're looking down
You won't even see the red light
And in your blood, you will drown

So take this advice
Or end up dead
Stay off your device
And look at the road instead...

I am never a drunk
I have always been sober
I am never a punk
Or an indecent disrober

I would rather eat crow
Than go around lying
Just so you’ll know
You won’t catch me crying

As sober as you
Or as sober as I
What can we do
But give it a try

Will not get high
Or even get stoned
You can all try
Why I stay toned

Stay off the drugs
And off of the booze
With all of the hugs
You will never lose...

My fears revealed my worries found
As of late I can’t stay off the ground
Pick me up and hold me tight
I need your warmth tonight
Your heart beat is my life’s song
Without your love I can’t go on
Before the sun sets tonight
Tell me our love is alright
Tell me you will hold me tight
When the moon shows her tears
Tell me that I have no fears
Tell me you are here to stay 
And all my worries can go away
Tell me……………....

She wanted to wave to the Christmas train as a test. 
She dressed carefully in her Sunday best. 
They won’t even see you, her mother said.
You have to stay off the tracks, or you will be dead.

She agreed to stand back and wave as it came round the bend.
The conductor and engineer was a neighbor and friend.
Old Pete blew the whistle and felt his heart hop with a leap.
That granddaughter or yours is one you surely should keep!...

All along the thoroughfare 
To freeways of the metroplex
Weary workers are coming home
They own the road from 4 to 6

Yes that's the worst time of the day 
It's like a harpy's metal zoo
Where chances you could have a wreck
Are ten times greater multiplied by two.

If happens you are passing there 
Upon this warning please reflect
Don't join the harpy's metal fair 
Stay off the road from 4 to 6.

Monkey
Stay off my back 
All I want is my stuff  back
My memories 
my family
my wife
my life 
My time all over again.
I’m not asking for much
I’ll meet you half way
No. My way or the high way
Keep out of my way.
Don’t bother me again 
Keep the black dogs company
Monkey.
I’ll think of you often Monkey
Each time I see a sunset 
Or sunrise
A clear Sunday morning
Or anything on Saturday night.
Thanks for the bad times
And the sad times
Thanks for nothing
Monkey....
