Flight
Moving;
at their every whim
Begging to be a stranger
just like him
Seizing the chance
to embrace
this inspirational conflict
It's like imprisonment;
without being a convict
Free as a bird
a bird in a cage
Clipped at the wings
Encumbered with rage
Able to touch, caress & rely
It's like sending a message:_______________________
without a reply
Don't bare witness
then truthfully deny
Your answers
to the questions ...
at their every whim
Begging to be a stranger
just like him
Seizing the chance
to embrace
this inspirational conflict
It's like imprisonment;

Free as a bird

Encumbered with rage
Able to touch, caress & rely

Nice Purse
Always successful
at enduring the worst
Did you pack a parachute
when your bubble burst
I heard you were dying
so I bought you a hearse
Stepping on your toes;
just try not to curse
It's getting harder & harder
with every single verse
So I'll hold my tongue & say;
You've got a nice purse
CHORUS:
Hey you
You've got a nice purse
I'd love to hear your story
but can I...

Stepping on your toes;

It's getting harder & harder

So I'll hold my tongue & say;
You've got a nice purse

Float Away
Wandering the halls alone
Barefoot & lost
but only for a moment
Down
in the
catacombs
Barefoot & Lost
I fear
the floodgates
Will be opened
Float away, float away
& I will be there
Brought here by a younger man
who is worried about the cost
Of retracing all my steps
to recover what I've lost
Reaching out;
To share
with you this torment
of being left alone
Caught...
Barefoot & lost

Float away, float away

Across the Hall
Lost without a ride
It smells
like something died
Now there's no future
without the loss of pride
Cut off at the hip
now
there's no communication
because I've let it slip
beyond my limitations
Across the hall
can you feel me fall
The vibration I'm causing
not moving at all
Covered in scales
I cause them to tilt
Outweighing the pain
of watching me wilt ...

Sound of the vibration
I already know
the conclusion
Stumbling in the haze
of a temporal delusion
Overseeing the control
of constant confusion
Fabricating on a whim
to prolong the illusion...
Training the trainer
to train the remainder
Separating the students
to remain
complete strangers
To keep them from harm
& all other dangers
Store them in...

Desert Flower
Hitchhike into eternity
you're searching
for the blue-grass
Tho, these fields are greener
you've got to carry on
So, fix your self a fat-tire
I'm looking for a reason
to keep you
past your bed-time
& enjoy this summer season
CHORUS:
Oh- my
I've found a desert flower
It grows upon a cactus
to protect it from the showers
It's soft to the touch
but it just might hurt
to squeeze
So, hold- on gently ...
you're searching

CHORUS:

Overlap
Every time
I hear the door slam
I think there's a visitor
I also believe;
the Sun shines for me
Every modern tragedy
solved over coffee
Some way relates
to how I exist...
I'll caress the rain
that falls
from your pen
Be an arm
In the curtain
that no one can know
There it is again;
Hello, who is it?
Nobody really ...

Different ONE
Steamy windows
a hundred sad faces
Upset together;
Going to different places
Swiveling centerpiece
Rotating ingenuity
Cleared away spaces
to see us
going to different places
Tobacco stains
Worn in seats
Hoping to rest;
Very unlikely
Several friends
even more strangers
Upset together
not knowing the dangers
ONE head man
Guided tours
Coming on the half ...
a hundred sad faces
Upset together;
Going to different places

Cleared away spaces

Worn in seats
Hoping to rest;

Several friends
even more strangers

Scent-a-mental
Consoling each other
while I was getting took
Now
I know that everything
deserves another look
Across the water;
You know orange
Is my favorite color
Coming through the air
& I recognize the odor
CHORUS:
Scent-a-mental
you've got feeling scent-a-mental
Serenading me
with your scent so gentle
You've got me feeling scent-a-mental
Midnight at the bridge
You want...

Sunday
When sunday came
I would hold your hand
First to go
& now to stand
You pinch me once,
you pinched me twice
You took me there
to treat me nice
I did not know then
but now I do
To thy own self;
One must be true
Faith leads to power
Power leads to glory
but without respect
It's a whole different story
Sunday came
with no hand to hold...
I would hold your hand
First to go
& now to stand
You pinch me once,
you pinched me twice
You took me there
to treat me nice
I did not know then
but now I do
To thy own self;
One must be true
Faith leads to power
Power leads to glory
but without respect
It's a whole different story

A powerful voice
in a youthful era
Making a choice
Describing the terror
Artistic expressions
on walls in the alley
Compared to garbage
& cattle calls in the valley
Loud & obnoxious
or does the truth
make you nauseous
Feel free to be vocal;
but you better be
cautious?
Too much to handle
as they paint with a...

Compass
The oasis fades faster
than I can speed
As if it's only desire
Is to be chased
Unreachable destinations
My emotions are in limbo
Drifting out of control
until they expire
Pounce on me;
Make me the prey
For I pray to be enlightened
until the sky becomes grey
Pour on me;
Drown me with rain
Continue to reign
over the source of my pain
I'd follow the horizon
but it would lead me...
than I can speed
As if it's only desire
Is to be chased
Unreachable destinations
My emotions are in limbo
Drifting out of control
until they expire
Pounce on me;
Make me the prey
For I pray to be enlightened
until the sky becomes grey
Pour on me;
Drown me with rain
Continue to reign
over the source of my pain
I'd follow the horizon
but it would lead me...
