Looking back Was it my imagination ? Or just a fact That the train has left the station ? Strangest dreams Get you in the morning Hear the screaming Through the yawning and the snoring I’ve got your back I’ll get you outta trouble The railroad track Has got me seeing double It’s the speed I lack Breaking all my bubbles One last attack Will leave me in the rubble It’s dark outside There’s something in the clearing Man or beast Can’t tell it’s getting nearer I’m afraid and reaching for my rifle But I am brave and this is just a trifle Don’t look back It’s just imagination The night is black But your dreams Have left the station It breaks your back And the heartbeat of the nation Fades away....

She woke up as the sun was breaking I don’t need your organization Empty rooms it’s all protected Mirrors with the blue reflection I’ve been known to turn into a werewolf It’s getting late so you better be careful I’m the wickedess one I’m the wickedess one Riding past the destruction and the ditches White priests and treacherous witches Breaking chains with mountainous measures Golden locks clutching at treasure Got up to the train in the morning A fine station pitching and yawning Needy men with small eyeglasses Thin ties handing out passes

The Holy Ghost of Basketball I’ve been know to waste it all On phones and watching basketball Listening to those I fear the most The father son and Holy Ghost But next time round you’ll surely see Entitlements all meant for me Will fall like leaves upon the ground More grateful folks will hear the sounds Sounds of olive trees With their limbs in the breeze Playing a melody A sweet symphony For the times that we Ransomed the past in our dreams Songs that had to be seen To be believed I sit here and waste another day Pick up my guitar and play Write another silly song About this voyage ive been upon What will it mean when it is done? I put my pen and six strings downloaded Tear the paper from the page And meditate and guess her age Sounds of olive trees With their limbs in the breeze Playing a melody A sweet symphony For the times that we Ransomed the past in our dreams Songs that had to be seen To be believed I’ll accept this is the end But make a final Vegas bet Push the chips into the pot Close my eyes and pray a lot For equality, an end to war For Peace and love, help for the poor And selfishly perhaps one time Watch her turn the water into wine Sounds of olive trees With their limbs in the breeze Playing a melody A sweet symphony For the times that we Ransomed the past in our dreams Songs that had to be seen To be believed Bezos forsakes his greed and then Elon musk and all his men Line up to form a better world Green grass for all the boys and girls

Sometimes I dream in the middle of the night about you A Baptist girl with your teeth all white that’s you I hear a blackbird calling the ring of a bell around you I’ll wait it the corner if it takes all morning for you To come over hear and whisper in my ear I love you Cry alleluia I can’t carry on with out you You’re my ocean light, my painted sky and my muse Sometimes god just a nod of the head from you I’m not the same brother gotta see those eyes looking back at you You’re my home and my world girl I throw my arms around you Sweet salvation this nation is gonna go soon But you and I, we’re gonna keep on trying that’s true.

The seasons keep on turning fast My heart it keeps on yearning for the past To hear the songbird singing bout tomorrow Meet me by the riverside You know the kind of things I like The air is thick with moonlight and the sorrow Our tears keep flowing Mystic keeps glowing Blossoms in snow Will save us Doctors and lawyers Pretend not to know us Twisted trees grow And take us What appears will fade away Maybe on some other day The dirt will turn into the clay that is us And I believe that deep inside The winds will take us for a ride Punch the clock, steal the fire that makes us All the saints are gathered here In a flash they disappear Lonely hunters, silly dears contain us The dreams that are the best we are The magic and the shooting stars Are never ending prayers to contemplate Now the leaves are turning fast Summer flowers will not last Turn the page and fill the glass Save us Shout out loud that’s who we are Shoot the gun and crash the car Pray a resurrection will raise us

Just an hour ago I heard the whistle blow Time to get up and go Off to the future My baby is on a roll My baby’s outta control She putting on a show She is my muse Save me sir with your guns - Please stare into the son, won’t you? In such a state of grace, let’s shoot you into space, you sir! I had a lovely dream, watching life go by a stream It ain’t what it seems There’s no free will now baby Out of luck and time The alter of the mind Pick and choose your Frankenstein After kill now, baby. Won’t you understand? Please dumb child take a hand A winter wonderland you left it all behind you I’m all out of love. The silence from above I fear the morning dove will only mesmerize you

Hell no I gotta go before the river overflows Oh my I gotta cry wipe the memories from my mind

Someone stop me, Stop me from going Surely there’s someone hearing my songs Someone who wants me sticking around I’ll deliver just singing my songs Like an inside out man Someone stop me, I ain’t joking Wherever your going bring me along Cheat me and use me But when the train gets rolling I’ll deliver by singing my songs About an inside out man

hills slowly roll on the roads to mexico pleasantries exchanging for the gunfire the mask on the man reveals a dark plan enemies complaining that the rent's too damn high the sun is so bright i can taste it and the desert belongs to an age long ago she weeps in the sand and places her hand on the heart of the child she's forsaken from north mexico back to el paso the stories are old and they're blameless and the wind is so light i can't face it and the desert belongs to a time long ago send out a dove of peace, hope and love there's little of this south of the border miracles arise in the poor childs eyes in the voices of saints who call to us and the air is so fine i can't waste it and the desert belongs to a girl in a song

Here, there, everywhere With a quarter to spare She took a trembling stare And pretended to care He spent his last day alive With a cat from st. Ives Who took all his money and then Had a drink with a friend She was a baker by trade Such a beautiful shade When all the crap it went down she was Nowhere to be found She sang hard and played her guitar But cake and bread were her heart Her dark eyes her powerful lies Left his brain paralyzed And as the lights grew dim she turned to her and smiled And as the night grew dark she thought he stay awhile And as the lights grew dim he told her that he loved As the night grew dark he prayed to god above I’ll never let go This life really ain’t fair Said the rocking horse chair These kids pull at my hair And they don’t even care She smells with her eyes and sees with her nose As his memory goes He bets dollars for wins But he places and shows

Sat on the railroad tracks Something here was gonna crack In my world Blues were falling down like a fire through the town Oh my word I’m an older crazy man In an old fucked up jug band My sins can never hide What gets us to the other side Oh my world My kingdom for a girl Oh my word Oh my word My kingdom for a girl Oh my world The world has gone berserk I’m buried in paperwork Southern crosses burn Underneath the shattered earth Happiness is nigh, winter’s here, rivers rise Judge coming lift your eyes Even if we compromise Call me dirty names, doesn’t matter means the same The snow has stopped, the temperature has dropped I’ll stand and raise my voice in praise The son is king but it is night I wish to god that I was right It is night the son has gone I wish to god that I was wrong Bright and steady light Dim the corners of my mind

There stands the tree , I’ve thought about things Give it a try, See what it brings Bury the past, these terrible lies Waiting in silence with a flashlight Happily poor. Never thought I could be... There flows a river, steady and true A stream of subconscious gold plated proof Would put it to shame, this innocent stream Of head over heels covered bulletproof dreams Happily poor. Here’s my imagination in a song What could be better? What could go wrong? I tell you it’s over and you scream that it’s not The blackness it beckons, we lost by a lot. Happily poor. Never thought, thought I could be

Well I’m stranded in this city asleep Most of these folks just give me the creeps Im getting scared of the things that I said Better off honest. Better off dead. I’m playing possum And for all god’s works Call me a liar, a four letter word I’m on my last legs For all I can see These criminal charges Got the best of me Such a creation, start to unwind Here come the train at a quarter to nine Some of these things are too bad to be true I’m having a hard time, what some people can do Late in the evening, the streets are insane I hear a reduction calling my name From out of the darkness emerges the one The relevant hammer, the obvious one The party is over, the evening is done I’m happy I fought but I wish I had won Siamese cats come crawling around Folks can’t wait to burn down the town

Leave on, leave on, leave on Leave the lights on Keep on, keep on, keep on Keep the fight up Never let them see ya without the mask on Time to get on in some pieces of the action I’m so tired of all this indecision As if my pets are leaving on a mission To save the world from political shame My dogs and cats will never be the same They say that there’s a light end of the tunnel I’ll believe it when I see it, I ain’t gonna Take no stock in stupid agro-wishes It pains us to waste food that’s so delicious Try and stop these monsters from producing They’re fuckin and they’re breeding like it’s doomsday Well put that shiny thing back in your pocket Mommy’s image ain’t only picture hanging in your locker Cry for me an ocean cry a river Cry for all the children in the giver We immune to this and that forlorn diseases It don’t matter, She will come and go as she pleases These here kids with they’re computer games it’s sickening They were much useful when they’re skulls were thickening Read the riot act and jump into your cars Suppress the vote with bottled water and cigars Jesus Christ himself he couldn’t plan this And mother Mary she wouldn’t understand this The saints in heaven neglected to preserve us Whatever did we do to deserve this? Jealousy is racing down the highway Anger and resentment clog the byways Listen with your ears against the ground What you hear is what we fear - it’s the dark sound Triumph of the will it is their passion Screaming from the rooftops of their houses A mob to lynch the black and brown and poor They will smile and wedge their foot inside your front door Claim that they is looking for their daughter Lying that they lender a drink of water Don’t waste a precious second or your breath They are a virus as we spiral to our deaths Goodbye to the dreams of resurrection Hello to another rigged election America is grinding to a halt Tombstone reads “well shit, it ain’t my fault”

It’s you then, I suffer and when You get up to tell that story again You roll your eyes at my old man moves Try and take a walk take a walk in another mans shoes And you girl got some kinda nerve Talking all smack when know that it hurts I’m guessing your brain is some kinda smooth Try and take a long hard walk in another mans shoes Ain’t no doubt about it You’re the cats pajamas You’re the goddamn belle of the ball You’re one hot shit mama Who’s saying that you’re playing Anything else but the regular way Take heart my dear, you got nothing to lose Go walk a million miles in another mans shoes It seems like twenty years ago We were praying and giving Skis running through the snow In the land of the living Like your friends steel eye fans Take a hard right and do it again In a land of milk and honey you must choose To take a long hard walk in another mans shoes

It’s hitting me sideways hitting me strange I’m not gonna find a way to put it away The people are carrying everything that they own They barely got enough skin on them to cover the bones The dam is gonna break down Everything will be under the sea The rising water is gonna be the end of me Look into my eyes again as black as the night The thunder is deafening the fire is bright I’m gonna lie awake here just thinking all day About when all my finer things were washed away

Your fancy love life, 2 kids and a wife Reality calls but you walk into walls Fight in a zone in crowds or alone Your Jesus in rags and books in a bag A morning of bliss betrayed by a kiss Fiction and fame a ridiculous game Federal dues and political views Making you strange for pieces of change I heard what you say, you’re young and you’re gay There’s plenty of time and justice is blind Let’s say it on four, it’s a beautiful war It’s all in my head man irony’s dead She’s been a good friend but everything ends Farewell to the girl and our black and white world Say a prayer for the hags wrapped in American flags It’s a crime, it’s a shame, it’s a dirty damn game. —— Another day comes another idiot runs The camera please takes government cheese Seven o’clock paper scissors and rocks It’s fair and it’s square a perpetual stare Like that like this Straight in the abyss Inside Everyday pick up your phone and play Indeed Everyone trigger finger on the gun Independent Everything another round let’s drink On the road there are signs for miles and miles Mister Gorbachev tear down that wall The wind it blows and it nods and it knows In the space between you’re a sight to see You struggle and strive and you dream you’re alive The sinners and saints eating off paper plates But all of this talk bout rinos and hawks Will straighten you’re hair and ruin you’re prayers Another idea another pop song Maybe I’m right I’m probably wrong

No one but me sitting by the fire Hands burned red and all this while Winter winds carry dreams away Everything turns to dust someday Tiny worries here in the dark So intense that they leave a Mark Quiet now, we all listening Angels hear every little thing Smoke appears and flames arise Dust and ash get in my eyes Thoughts of youth storm in my head I try to count to ten instead Even now the summer comes I feel within the righteous ones The good on earth refuse to lie Count the sins. A good day to die...

Sound reasons, playing in the rain Hard seasons, all the words the same Saints in hell and heaven and above Will rule the new government of love Love potion six to ninety nine Five frontiers in a diamond mine Abstract, uptight, physically fine Regret, upset, a complete surprise Redemption, on a pair of eyes Regret will take up my frame of mind Silence will not ever get the girl Speak up and move forward in the world I’m overwhelmed by this and that I can’t remember if I’m not Coming or going out the door Thanks to whoever won the wa

Out of luck and outta good time Ain’t nothing here I’m going outta my mind Damn flat broke with hell to pay Got nothing to do and nothing to say She got up and ambled to the door Can’t touch the sky can’t even touch the floor Wanna be on top when the pills kick in My pastor told me passion ain’t no sun In my dreams I love my enemies, in all 4 seasons One helluva voyage to that frozen land But I’ve had with all of these dumb masked men I tell ya there’s gotta be an easier way Taking drop dead gorgeous literally Well nobody knows all the facts for sure But boys are boys and girls are girls In Texas it’s snowing facsimile snow And I’m right cuz the Bible tells me so In my dreams I’m loving on my enemies, in all 4 seasons Wonderful woman travel door to door Take two steps back and forget the poor It ain’t easy working for the minimum wage The world wants to burn and turn the page It’s a dream come true she said to me A fair fight for a fairer fee I’m a really going out of my mind I’m really losing it all this time And in my dream I love my enemies in all 4 seasons The priest got up in church that day And said you terrible children there’ll be hell to pay You can save your souls if you will sell your shirt And tithe over your last dime to the church Praise be god my life and love Prayers for the saints up far above But I don’t need no folks in the sky Tell me when and where and how I die And in my dreams I love my enemies, unseen

We packed up our bags And our thoughts and our dreams Fought the illusion of musical screams Never look back or Leave notes on the door Mean quarantine for the rich and the poor Trouble and trifles and Trips to the fire Claims underway while we’re cutting the wire Chloe and kierstin awake in the cars If pillows could talk, then these boys would go far We’ve got High hopes We’re Bound for the coast Where it Never gets hot and it never gets cold I know the memory’s old But if I remember correctly It’s gold They taught us to sing and they taught us to sin And Jesus himself couldn’t teach us to win Moms in the kitchen, dads dead on the porch I’m leaving for Texas alone in the morning These people they couldn’t catch cold if they tried Red handed upon a bible they lie They will starve and fall to the ground and they’ll die Before they admit that water ain’t dry Maybe I’m crazy and none of this here Makes any sense, no gods will appear Maybe I’m wrong and I never been right At least I can sleep deep through the night Stupidity pours down like rain from the sky The right hates the left - don’t even know why Maybe someday a young child will lead Us old folks up mountaintop where we’ll see

Something is broken A fire that blocks the sun A word never spoken Just turning the news on The world’s entertainment Dangerous dancing It’s pouring it’s raining They’re all taking their chances The men are cold crazy Cops have got Criminal minds Shutting their windows Drinking their homemade wine All the Women are fasting Stronger than iron Life everlasting Could you please leave the lights on? All of my good friends are crashing Dangerous dancing It’s been a long day waiting It’s been a long time passing

her father would laugh step out of the door he practiced and preached but he never did more a babe in his arms not related to him he'll wind back the clock and he'll never give in the truth was to hard and profound and obscure to live it one had to explode and endure in his hour of need no one offered a cure now i am ready to riddle the world the child was born at the end of the night into the wind, but again, we just might we fought with our hands such a terrible sight the winners descend to the left and the right calling all faithful what's rightfully yours thinking of faith in the sense of the word i remember and old man who ran every morning when i think of the man then i think of the story he'd iron his hat and recite a hard prayer combing sweet sanctions from out of his hair a turbulent jesus who's hidden in runes who dances when bands cannot strike up a tune all of my years they belong to the past the last will be first and the first will be last the moon rises alone and night after night impossible curving a sliver of light

I had one once But the wheels fell off So I said to old king John You take the umbrella I’ll walk in the rain But it was rabbit season The deer were falling Out of the trees And I fell in a hole So here I am Just a short lullaby To my cousin old king John I climbed out With a bottle and a shout And tapped em right on the nose God be damned, all his castles are sand He’s a sheep wearing wolf man clothes Please understand I’m a company man With the light of true reason If you take my hand We will map out a plan And rattle old king John See I once was whole But the days grew cold And the people lost their way They took their pills And took to the hills Like a fox on judgment day In gold fall weather Soft as a feather Sing together this song Break bread and share It’s more than a prayer Remember old king John

Hard confessions deep in the night- Hit me with the left, then hits me with a right All of that begins and ends right now I refuse to be my mystery clown Try like heaven, like hell, like we Are something to see, like we’re someone to be Excuse away the traditional signs propaganda with whitewashed lies —— Brand new day, learning to pray All day long I’m in a nightgown All the way up, all the way down Watch your head, before an amen Big sweat stain the could flatten the sun Three is a one and a one and a one —— He says stop but go say the eyes Walking on eggshells walking on wires A bad trip tied to alligator shoes Expensive tie, watch always reads noon I’ll fight like hell he cries with a half smile Then he turns away as they walk the mile A life of pain and tears and regret Most of us lose, some of us win —— Brand new day, learning to pray All day long I’m in a nightgown All the way up, all the way down Watch your head, before an amen Big sweat stain the could flatten the sun Three equals one plus one plus one —— Hollywood horse hooves light up above Maybe it’s hate, it’s probably love Horse mane, dirty jeans shirts and thin ties Talk about texture cowboy and mimes The good goddamn emperor’s got no clothes Take it on the chin I’ll take it on the nose Just a phase we’re passing through Innocent artist poses in the nude —— Brand new day, learning to pray All day long I’m in a nightgown All the way up, all the way down Watch your head, before an amen Big sweat stain the could flatten the sun Aggressive lovers respond with a shrug —— He won’t be mocked as the crowd closes in The sins of the father are the father of the sins Tripping down stones keep the candles well lit Laughing like a Saturday night live skit I’ll die while getting robbed by the priest One last rite and Rest In Peace Give us this day our daily bread Or I’ll kick em in the teeth while I shoot em In the head —— Brand new day, learning to pray All day long I’m in a nightgown All the way up, all the way down Watch your head, before an amen Big sweat stain the could flatten the sun Three means one and a one and a one ——

I’ll never believe she intended to leave me this way Messages left on the phone, she sounds so alone and I wait Still hear her voice carry up through the noise saying hey How ya doing tonight? Wasn’t Rafa a sight? Then we’d pray... For the man on the moon and hard drinks before noon and falling asleep at the bar And everyone lies, our political ties got no business in our family here Blow out the candles Blow out the candles I know it ain’t right but I’m wasted considering Falling apart at the seems Pull up a chair brush the glitter in your hair and let’s sing To Freddie and Queen and Ian and Mott and the kinks To A charming odd smile and a fabulous style I cannot begin to list out all the things I miss I know it’s insane but you must entertain the idea Humanity calls and the curtains will fall with our tears

Earth to the sun 1 The moon is lost tonight In a flood of ambulance lights I look with uneven eyes Bewildered heart and mind 2 The light ain’t traveling from The star we’re calling the sun Our speech and language and imagery Has some kind of invisible energy 3 The wind has been caught in the sails A sunfish shimmering scales The rain has filled to the brim My cup runneth over with sin 4 Water tasting like wine Willows dead on the vine We were friends, remember that? Bridesmaids on a pretty footpath 5 Peacock tracking through mud Or a hedgehog covered in blood All of the worlds been hypnotized Turn signal and we have arrived 6 That’s why I’m not gonna speak No more, not even a peep This vow of silence will take An army of angels to break 7 He speaks through license plates white and off white colorless flames He swims but never gets wet And he smokes those rusty thin cigarettes 8 Are you at home in your soul? Will you touch me if the answer is no? You call of of your exes they It rhymes with cross-pollinate 9 Black fur in a video blog Forgive the wildflowers The church has entered my head And again i pine for better off dead 10 Cold sweat at the nape of the neck The scourge of the lone insect And the Martins anchor the sky All clear and telling us why 11 Just now, maybe a moment ago We sold our hearts and our souls The light is traveling from The earth to the sun 12 I’ve flown miles away On a plane made out of clay Cold beer and casual drinks Just play while everyone thinks 13 When we land the border patrol Says son, the water is cold I don’t put up a fight All clear, the left lays down with the right 14 Tonight I’m tellin the truth Tomorrow we ain’t gonna lose We’re strong and fast and fierce Our eyes are flooded with tears 15 Shocked wire in everyone’s way That’s just the price that you pay I broke into English the way That man broke into my mothers waist 16 The bats have stolen my hair My shirt and my underwear Fun fact: the planets have eyes What happens when the last note dies? 17 Living waters tend to the flocks Feed neighbors from a seething pot Become the most fortunate of creatures To walk in silence among the cedars 18 When we were dead Our tongues hang limp You made that face and, more or less That was it We slept a cold blue sleep And the grass blew stiffly in the breeze 19 We write our odes recite our jokes And like the tide our eyes would roll Lay down sex to sex And breath chest to chest 20 And my good novelist friend Discussed the dull ideas of the damned In the face of perilous rage Our girl would always be saved 21 Her arch rival forcing him down And the plot forcing him underground His comic bubble will read Don’t make me roll up my sleeves 22 John Henry a steel driven man Whose strength simply super human Who held these people in chains For power and financial gain 23 Enslaved women buried in sand Picked cotton more than any white man Who raped her again and again Sold that innocent child away 24 Officer, black man, twenty, arrest Video, sir, back, counterfeit Hands, sorry, crouching, neck to the knee mama please, god, help me now, I can’t breathe

—- It’s easier lifting a stone then to speak out your name Heaviness, tenderness washed down the drain A black bear carried off with yesterday’s sun Only one care left to us in the world Time is turned up by the plow and the rose was the earth She pours me a cup of boiled coffee that tastes like a drum ——— And when I looked up to the sky it had gone blue to back And I had aged a hundred miles or more from the crack Care that is golden shedding the burden of time I drink this dark water like mutinous air Painting my face with a generous stare From place to place in the secret night ——— Oh lord I’ve been here before Too tired to read the bold notes on the door Amen, I’ll say it again, no turning back when Your playing to win And praying for rain ———- Wasps and the honey bees suck at the land Man dies as the heat drains from the sand Honeycomb nets and honeymoon plans Will arrive On wings of a dove or some flight-el-ess bird It seems probable cuz no nothings absurd Tabletop worries Indefatigable child ——- Last night some kind of alarm on the street It woke up the dead and shattered my sleep Like a sledge and a hammer it pounded my dreams into bed, back into bed A woman appeared with no face at all Perfectly still fantastically tall She took off her wig and greeted us all With a jig, a dance and a song — The center it holds and the world will not fall The world cannot last and the center can’t hold A liquified death on tv Will summon the base Tiny white cage of hysterical friends Explain the election that will never end Granite and lightening and melody trends And a trace

Maybelline, your eyes are grey It’s in your blood It’s in your dna The dish ran away with the knife and the spoon The cow counted sheep and Jumped over the moon Once in a while Once in a dream I’ll play my guitar and piano and sing To innocent time and innocent days Oh maybelline, your eyes are grey Maybelline, I ain’t the one I’ve gotta to go I’ve gotta run It breaks my heart to be letting you down But they’re all gunning for me in this town But I will be back for you someday I Wait and I see and I hope and I pray (Sit beside your window bay) My love is not lightly given away Maybelline your eyes are grey Maybelline I’m telling you dear It might be nothing that you want to hear But love it lies bleeding onto the floor And the lord he knows that 2 plus 2 equals four (Scientific men do agree) These men who read books of science do say When flesh and the bone and the bullets do meet The metal one always will win the day Maybelline your eyes are grey

Maybe you see it but refuse to believe - That’s so like you A hypocrite false And duplicitous yet call me a fool Now I understand all the bully acoustic guitar jams. And the jam bands.

ode to pag Where are you going? Oh, that’s the right place I’m happy for you, but sad for us. Just sit for a second, or stand for a spell Perhaps you got a few short stories to tell? Where are you going?….ahhh….that makes sense! You earned it, my friend. welcomed guest We wrote it off to the grief but somehow The skies wide open - greek to me now Don’t bother putting in good words for me Won’t make no difference, can’t change anything Could you play that band of gypsies riff one more time? Ya know the Hendrix….ya know, with buddy miles? Where are you going, I smell alcohol Thank my stars there, there boy, guess I’ll have some Hold on, Chicago. So far away. in time and distance Fender bass He could hit a slow pitched ball from here to Baton Rouge He was bigger than me and probably bigger than any of you Much better than you He could hit a medium-arc pitched softball from here to to Baton Rouge He was bigger than me and probably bigger than you Much better than you When going camping meant fucked-up instead A single aware eyeball Without a head There was this joke once, a roaring fire a woke eyeball, blind and blinder And the laughter, could’ve raised the dead But it spoke to us with depth and breadth our simple dream once, to scout the land find a cool place to, a great place to jam We wanted something, some not all In hallway signage, cut out paper dolls We hated gods and men in white shirts We came, I’m sore, and my cock hurts Intellects and incense and Pete stole our eyes Rough on the edges, cracks in the skies He takes the cassette, Pops in the player Words can do damage comical bass player And about the music son…well it all sucks? It’s all sublime? and we all nuts Things far away cannot seek blame charts from the pulpit, God keeps us sane No common cause, between us..no enemy But also sadly no symphony…no harmony But not your blame nor is it mine Shine on you crazy, Crazy diamonds shine All of life’s passions wrapped into wires Cities on flame, cities on fire And I was blind but now I see It is all clear now, twas once greek to me

Love in the airport And if you hurt someone When it is time to speak I pull out my gun I’m on a losing streak When the morning star Sinks in the evening sky When the battered bird Puts down an even nine I threw off the night Light and ancient skin I don’t play to lose Baby I play to win The rootless trees of life and death Throw off the chains of all pretense My eyes filled up with light And I fell to the ground I hear the engines roar They make the devils sound In Los alamos the time it seems the same As Hiroshima on the brightest days Oh to be born again From the metallic womb The sweet smell of life From that prevailing tomb But I gnaw my teeth and I sleep to dream Into the void I yearn to leap We strip away as we swear and curse The ruffled cloth of the universe A prayer to William Blake gonna say out loud Hide mortality behind the darkest clouds Searing wind spread the dead before The baby blue before the sky was born I’m here for good I’m here to stay Ain’t that what we all want anyway Slip away and ya can take the hit You’re a fuckin ass, you’re a piece of shit Who drops a ton on a tiny child Who takes an inch when he can take a mile You know you made your bed So go on lie in state It’s fun to ramble on while millions Hide there heads We will tear it down the body limb from limb Don’t Hesitate to confess the sins When I attained my true enlightenment, I threw off the night like an older skin. My eyes they filled with light and I fell to the ground. in Los Alamos, I match you pound for pound It is much better leap we all into the void We are all grown up now put away the toys The pain and life that comes with dissonance Will now collapse the tower, buckled in the wind

I’ve finally formed my angels wings Carefully by hand The day is bright and my heart does sing There’s peace throughout the land Oh my eyes, the wolf he lies Right down beside the lamb The tears of cried, the blood and why I’ll never understand Long before these angels wings Flew into the morning Mountains, rivers overflows and Evergreen from the good lord Now I pray sweet yesterday will Bless this sweet small child And keep her safe and free from harm For miles west on miles Let us take these angels wings And hold them to the light And look at them with gratitude And kindness and delight Once again, I’ll tell you friends That Jesus Christ will sing A song of hope and harmony And bless your angels wings Jesus wants us to put on Our holy angels wings

I've been a'hard workin' hard living and hard loving
