David Geddes' "Run Joey Run"

“Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married
Just you wait and see”

Julie called me up, late last night, she said Joe, don't come over
Daddy found out you knocked me up,
He says he's gonna make you pay, for what we've done, he's got a gun, so
Run Joey run Joey run Joey run Joey run Joey run


She ran to me, with tears in her eyes, and bruises on her face
When her dad shot at me, but hit Julie by mistake
I ran to her, I held her close, when I looked down, my hands were red,
And here's the last words Julie said
“Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married…”

BANG!  Her dad shot her again

He looked at me and said,
“If had to hear her sing that thing again, I was going to go nuts”
“So instead of shooting myself, I shot her instead
But still that annoying sound is ringing in my head”
He shot himself, I watched him fall, and then I fled

Run Joey run Joey run Joey run Joey run Joey run

Jen,
Probably not what you were looking for...
but needed a place to stick it

("Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" - Gene Autry/Johnny Marks)

Clarence the Cross-Eyed Zombie

He's no Freddie or Jason or
Elvira, that vixen
he aint like Casper
laughing and skipping
some think he's insane
both feet shuffling thirsting for brains

Clarence the cross-eyed zombie
he has only half a head
it was not really his fault
that a comet made him undead

all of the other zombies
said his blind ass brought them shame
they used to tease poor Clarence
one day he'd go up in flames

then one full mooned Hallows eve
Satan growled and said:
"Clarence to get back your bite
for one night I'll grant you sight!"

then how the humans feared him
playing his trick or treat games
Clarence the cross-eyed zombie
burping 'cause he's full of brains

Don McLean's "Vincent (starry, starry night)"


"Starry, starry night"
Evening's ease, light reflecting in an eye
The midnight shades, briskly reflecting light
The brush in thy beauty stricken hand, eloquent nights
In every motion, immortalized days of all you do
"Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue"


"Look on a summer's day, with eyes that know the darkness in my soul"
Portrait of an endless pennilessness, whom has lifted a light in the soil
That caught a glimpse, an ageless page still-lived on your heart's image
It takes a troubled soul, to capture each enchantment and ignore such rage
Thy heart has took upon its humble self, you paint every dream of the unforeseen
"Now I understand what you tried to say to me, and how you suffered for your sanity"


"And when no hope was left on that starry, starry night; you took your life as lovers often do"
Brush strokes of each hand lay on dusty canvas still, with those tattered eyes waning
Of your eye, a composing of beauty erecting into shades shining
And as thy eyes are sadly draining, unto forever and no more
It simply stands for all one could possibly be, an image galore
As each day cannot forget, and each night is perfectly lain still
"They would not listening, they're not listening still, perhaps they never will".

Anon, you have me by the balls here! Both by song, lyrics chosen, and Van Gogh's starry night.  
The best example yet of weaving in lyrics going seamlessly into your words. Without quotes might not know where they are!
Jus t a stunning piece...thanks!! Truely truely!

Pearl Necklace

(ZZ Top)

I.

He reminds her of her father.
Long face, long fingers
caressing the polished chrome
of a black electric bass.
His body a lean ribbon of black
rippling in the night.

"She was gettin' bombed
And I was gettin' blown away
And she took it in her hand
And this is what she had to say
A pearl necklace
She wanna pearl necklace"

Just one more drink,
she whispers to herself.
Wonders if he's hard on stage,
feels the music with his cock.
The gold band on his finger
glinting in the moonlight.

II.

In the darkened parking lot
of another bar, further down.
A royal blue Mustang,
a present from his wife.

His words belying his actions.
Everything a duality.
God and religion,
God and death.

She doesn't want to die. Not yet.
Perhaps tonight, in his car.
How it smells like her father's did
on childhood visitations.

Slightly drunk, leather slightly worn
from the press of women's thighs.

III.

She asks him to touch her.
Simply slide a finger inside
for one moment, let it rest.
Ferment into something.

Something she can take home,
press in a book like a rose.

His logic simple, direct.
No kiss on her mouth,
no cum in her hand,
no crime.

When she leaves he makes her
halt and turn. Reaches to cup
her breasts, her bottom.
His fingers a cage of pearls
against the twilight.

IV.

He reminds her of her father.
The day he left,
all the days he left,
something was erased,
something grew transparent.

He reminds her of cocaine.
The shimmering high.
The suicidal crash.

"She was really bombed
And I was really blown away
So I asked her what she wanted
And this is what she had to say
A pearl necklace
She wanna pearl necklace"
