Eagle sails Above
Took over their house
Eagle fans stand tall and proud in the crowd push me a tush you can’t stop me
Flying a silver bird into Hollywood
Land on asphalt play on lab grown grass
Look across the stadium all I see is Kelly green
I can’t see Jack Nicholson in the front row
Stars scattered about not paying attention
To what is going on an Eagle sails above
As a Ram gets lost in the defense
Hurts me soo good

Saquon is so good in Hollywood
Saquon is not...

Believe
Gettin better
Every minute
Try to hold it together
But I lose it better
Bathing in Jesus sins
But he knows me
Better than myself
So I fall again
Feelin bible in my blood
Hoping it is enough
But when I hope it’s not enough
Cause I just have to believe
And I do like Jesus
Believe in every being
When belief is in your bloodstream
Absolves me of all my sins
Belief is something
You can’t grab onto

Fran the Blue Whale
Fran the blue whale
Known to locals and tourists
Reaches 180 decibel
Bigger than a T Rex or a brontosaurus
Didn’t know she had vocal fry
Same as my girlfriend a human
They use the “fry”
To put it in the pan
She uses it for something very different
Big blue whale like a small mountain
She’s 5’2 maybe 135 lbs
Shows that we are more same than different
Big blue whale deep in the ocean
Known to locals and tourists
Reaches 180 decibel
Bigger than a T Rex or a brontosaurus
Didn’t know she had vocal fry

Big blue whale like a small mountain
She’s 5’2 maybe 135 lbs

Hand and Eye
My little guy has got the hand and eye
See a shape and put your hands in place
To receive what I’m delivering
As it’s coming in…depth perception kicks in
Two points on a map and intersect where you should be
He sees the ball and anticipates where
And what direction
The passing wind can have an effect
You have to put that into the equation
Split second decisions between hand and eye
When you hawk that ball and hunt it down
It ends up positive with clapping all around
Next thing you know you helped...
See a shape and put your hands in place

As it’s coming in…depth perception kicks in
Two points on a map and intersect where you should be
He sees the ball and anticipates where
And what direction

You have to put that into the equation
Split second decisions between hand and eye

The End Game
The End Game
The overall effect is what
Truly is the end game
Squeezing it out of the tube
You can’t put it back again
Not tryin to be on one side
But the others are extreme
The genie’s out the bottle
Can’t put him back again
And the hate grows breathing
And seething
Gotta to be on one side
The one that’s humane
He grows with hate…
And I’m seething
How can we treat another person
As less than they should be
All of us in the world
Are...

Little fingers
Little fingers on my palm
Crawl up on my arm
Dance upon my senses
Creep in between you can’t
Deny their innocence without
Defenses not yet brought upon
Crawl up on my arm
Dance upon my senses
Creep in between you can’t
Deny their innocence without
Defenses not yet brought upon

Out of the Bottle
Out of the bottle
Feel a stirring in my soul
Rhythm pulse under blood vessels
It’s been there since I was a tot
First 45 was Mother Mary
Along with Taveres
Heaven’s missing an angel
Dancing through my teens with
Who Doors and Aerosmith
With some Jimi mixed in
A new decade approaches and
It’s the 80’s on the stage
Clashed with The Who and Santana
Down at JFK
Went from Genesis all the way to Peter Gabriel
Call the Police and watch the Go Go’s
Rush meet Joe Walsh in the...

Joy in Stone
Joy in stone
Bridges stand like Colossus of Rhodes
Seven wonder of ancient worlds
Take abuse and wind and rain
But they stand tall all over us
See some tagger about to do some blasphemy
Sacrilegious History
These sands of time rise above
He won’t let it be defaced
It’s like time says take a timeout
Pieces of art designed to transport
The past into the present
How can a young fool do the deed
While Banksy says
Make ‘em smile While they piss
Fields of history used by so many to say little ...

Thoughts and Dreams
Land of thoughts and dreams
Descend into lies and thievery
Star spangled on my soul
Watch a deceptive devil
Orange and loud
Drowns out the truth
Playing the part of Patriot
Hugs the flag my dad stood for
As he is corporal bone spurs
Says studio 54 was his Vietnam
Spits on McCain an American Hero
I don’t get it what’s in it for them
He translates patriotism into cash green
Build the wall keep the Rapist out
Grab em by the pussy
They let you if your evil
Shell of a tough...

Insurrection won
In the peoples house tonight
How do I tell my kids exactly
What we’ve lost
My son is…8 years old
Don’t want him to know…
But he knows
The capital was rushed
In the name of a
False god
A man of lies
And lies and lies again
And lies and lies again
Wraps himself in the flag
But his thugs
Turned that thin blue line
Into a spear
1/6/21
Will live in infamy
Let me say that again
1/6/21

How can a Vote (Mean more than the Truth)
How can a vote
Mean more than the truth
It’s what we teach our kids
To tell the truth
A bedrock belief
It’s what we all stand for
Truth will set you free
It’ll set us free
It’s all about power
Truth doesn’t matter
Try and tell my kids
To be on the up and up
And they see liars and thiefs
Not live up to us
What should they think
When it’s up to us
To not give in to the noise that’s all around
Facts are sound
Since when do we believe
In fantasies

Teaching Survival
Teaching survival on the 700 club
Hear someone saying
Jesus wears a vest
Have to teach the kids
How to duck and run
Are you fucking serious
Hiding behind the Bible
Instead of addressing
Our gun problem
So now religion is teaching gun violence
Or hiding under desks
Instead of addressing
The real nut of our times
If I have to teach my kid
To take precautions
Just because of gun violence
Seems like I lost before I began
How about tackling the ...
