Xanadoo
I remember when
we used to get the blues
Footballs are what
you called em
Sometimes peaches
or yellows
Didn't matter as long
as we got good
and mellow
Now them robin's eggs speckled belly bitches
were bad ass
They had me saying
Hello, what's my name
again dad
Yeah man, that's back when shit was fun
In those days we wasn't hurting no one
And who really gives
a damn if that ain't
exactly true
When you got the blues
you just don't give a fuck
It's like hey, I love you
Dude,...

O'Kelly Baby
Have you heard
the one about
Tommy Kelley's mother?
Yesterday, she had a baby and now Tommy
has a little brother.
Another son
should make his father
very proud indeed.
But Mr. Kelley is confused
its been a year,
since his vasectomy!
Now Mr. Kelley,
thinks his wife
is practically a saint.
When they go see a lawyer
formally, to make a file
of the complaint.
And Mrs. Kelley states,
that they will not pay another dime.

Don't Ya Know Joe
Monkeys fly
from banana trees
Inside his mind
Knapsack Joe
can hear their screams
Laying on a park bench where vagrants sleep nodding off the booze
Sunday morning news pulled across his face
on Tuesday
And he thinks
what was it
that she said
She believed he would be something
someday
She couldn't know
And what did she know anyway
Just a pretty girl
sitting next to him ...
from banana trees
Inside his mind
Knapsack Joe
can hear their screams
Laying on a park bench where vagrants sleep nodding off the booze

And he thinks

She believed he would be something
someday
She couldn't know
And what did she know anyway

All Things
Cloud keeper
Unveils the sky
Pouring out tears
Of the angels
Innocent of
Indulgence
Jealous of men
Forbidden to be
Free
Warriors
Carrying swords
blood tipped
With justice
Ethereal
Metals are merciless
Omissions of sins
Cleansed
Stars shine bright
Galaxies glimmer
And ignite Into
Life
Inside the mind's
Eye that sees
All beings
Angels sing
Holy
We are weak
Unable and feeble
Making mental fables
Seeking meaning ...

The Dance
Goodnight darkness
my dear.
Time to light up
the world again.
I'll see the light and
I'll walk the line.
One more time.
Until you leave me here.
Within my loneliness.
Without my happiness.
With my confusion.
It's all an illusion.
Nothing is real and
everything is too real.
Until I feel nothing
because I feel too much.
Want to feel the softness
of your touch.
The way it breaks me
and makes me bleed.
Pure ecstasy.
Exit to reality.
I can't see the things
I...
my dear.
Time to light up
the world again.
I'll see the light and
I'll walk the line.
One more time.
Until you leave me here.
Within my loneliness.
Without my happiness.
With my confusion.
It's all an illusion.
Nothing is real and
everything is too real.
Until I feel nothing
because I feel too much.
Want to feel the softness
of your touch.
The way it breaks me
and makes me bleed.
Pure ecstasy.
Exit to reality.
I can't see the things

Sweetribute
So
I is Me
Says to me
Write something
Sweet
And let's go
Find a big tree
And get smashed
Man
Sounds like a blast
To me
Yes I think
That could be
Good If we sat
Beneath a tree
And laughed
Making memories
Or trying to sing
Like happy little crickets
Hiding
In the grass
Under the shade
Of that big ole tree
Way out there
In the country
While sipping something
From an outlaw
Distillery
Maybe even wishing
We could be
Young and free ...

Potty Mouth People
All this shit talk
Really pisses me off
And I swear
I'm not even trying
To be nasty
I'm being as real as I friken
Know how to be
Maybe
I should explain
My emotional pain
Due to the plain
Truth that is due
To make this as clear
As it can be to you
We only have
One bathroom
And every damn time
I try to relax
For a little alone time
I nearly lose my mind
Because somebody
Comes to find me
They always succeed
In my time of need
They want to talk to me
And I...
Really pisses me off
And I swear
I'm not even trying
To be nasty
I'm being as real as I friken

Walk Away
I'm in love with you.
How could it be true
My old and your new
But that's all done
Through and through
And yet, I still see you
Like you were
The way we were
Before all the hurt
And I see you now
Sad and broken down
Just like our vows
To love, to honor
And to cherish
Oh how I wish
That we both had
But there's no road
That takes us back
The bridges all burned
We missed the turns
And lost the map
It's so terribly sad
When I see the look
In your eyes
Sea green depths ...
How could it be true
My old and your new
But that's all done
Through and through
And yet, I still see you
Like you were
The way we were
Before all the hurt
And I see you now
Sad and broken down
Just like our vows
To love, to honor
And to cherish
Oh how I wish
That we both had
But there's no road
That takes us back
The bridges all burned
We missed the turns
And lost the map
It's so terribly sad
When I see the look
In your eyes
Sea green depths ...

Nothing New Under The Sun
Prophet, priestess
Or know it all
Know nothing at all
With blood on my knees
When I fall
Then feel useless
Goodness
Gracious me alive
I'm barely living
But I try
And the moon
Was beautiful that night
By the firelight
Of my home burning down
It didn't make a sound
Didn't even cry out
Like we did
Me, him and the kids
Crying tears in streams
Holding back the screams
Watching our lives and dreams
Turn to ash
Sitting in the wet grass
As the rain poured ...
Or know it all
Know nothing at all
With blood on my knees
When I fall
Then feel useless
Goodness
Gracious me alive
I'm barely living
But I try
And the moon
Was beautiful that night

Of my home burning down
It didn't make a sound
Didn't even cry out
Like we did
Me, him and the kids
Crying tears in streams
Holding back the screams
Watching our lives and dreams
Turn to ash
Sitting in the wet grass

Cattle Crossing
Flying down a skinny Backroad at night
Then my heart takes flight
Black limousine
Almost unseen
Cattle crossing
Try not to scream
And slam on the break
Who's mistake
Left open the gate
Better call the law
After I call papaw
And tell him to holler
At the neighbor
To come get that heifer
Before her calf
Comes along
Because it won't be long
And half of the herd
Will be out of the pasture
What a disaster
A cattle crossing can be
Some folks would rather
Swerve and hit...
Then my heart takes flight

What a disaster
