Hand on a shoulder
The triangle roofs
Of Stockbridge Massachusetts,
Pictures that haunt
Bring pleasure,
An inner turmoil
Angst and anger,
Then a familiar touch
A hand on a shoulder
Of Stockbridge Massachusetts,
Pictures that haunt
Bring pleasure,
An inner turmoil
Angst and anger,
Then a familiar touch
A hand on a shoulder

Big tree
If I could I would
Turn back the time
Walk a different way
Down a different path
I chopped you down
With my arrogance
I left you lying
On the ground
Big tree big sky
Left to wonder why
It's too late, too late
Once you were so proud, so high
Turn back the time
Walk a different way
Down a different path
I chopped you down
With my arrogance
I left you lying
On the ground
Big tree big sky
Left to wonder why
It's too late, too late
Once you were so proud, so high

Coral coast
As we wind our way across
This coast
I am nothing
But a coral memory
Waiting for redemption,
To be picked up
And thrown back into an ocean
These eyes that look
Into the currents,
See
For your brothers
and sisters are glistening
Beneath
This coast
I am nothing
But a coral memory
Waiting for redemption,
To be picked up
And thrown back into an ocean
These eyes that look
Into the currents,
See
For your brothers
and sisters are glistening
Beneath

Broken teeth
You tried to sell me
Your beautiful craft
But I said "no"
For my heart is broken
You cannot sell
Me your wares
No matter how
Beautiful the shells
I climb into
Your beautiful craft
But I said "no"
For my heart is broken
You cannot sell
Me your wares
No matter how
Beautiful the shells
I climb into

Africa
The drums beat
Beat, beat
Africa
Heart beat
Silence has befallen across
This blood-ridden land
Land, land
Thinking
Thumping
And free
Beat, beat
Africa
Heart beat
Silence has befallen across
This blood-ridden land
Land, land
Thinking
Thumping
And free

Demons land
What would it be like to
Lie on the street
Feeling the cold black tar
Underneath stomach
Under the shining moonlight
Forbidden and isolated
On a long journey
The destination in a sea
Torn and cold
Flown onto an island
A quarry
Crushed stone and pick
What would it be like?
Lie on the street
Feeling the cold black tar
Underneath stomach
Under the shining moonlight
Forbidden and isolated
On a long journey
The destination in a sea
Torn and cold
Flown onto an island
A quarry
Crushed stone and pick
What would it be like?

restaurant
What the world needs now
Is another restaurant
Fine dining ala carte
Tables white
Lobster and wine
Caviar
Is this what the
World FucKing needs now!
As scores die in famine
And flashes of hunger
Across the anarchic
The dust
Of terra
What the world needs now
Is another restaurant...
Is another restaurant
Fine dining ala carte
Tables white
Lobster and wine

World FucKing needs now!
As scores die in famine

In abstentia
Where is the cut
Alongside the river,
The river that
bleeds
A manifestation of sore
Blood, puss, scab
Into and unto
An ocean
of never ending,
Never ending
Where is enough
In a land of a
billion deaths,
Scattered across hills
Upon their crosses
Turning like windmills
In the wind
A psychotic ocean
A dusty plain
Never ending
Where art thou God
When the people,
The people
called your name,
You were absent
Strolling along the avenue
The avenue of emptiness
In...
Alongside the river,
The river that
bleeds
A manifestation of sore
Blood, puss, scab
Into and unto
An ocean
of never ending,
Never ending
Where is enough
In a land of a
billion deaths,
Scattered across hills
Upon their crosses
Turning like windmills
In the wind
A psychotic ocean
A dusty plain
Never ending
Where art thou God
When the people,

You were absent
Strolling along the avenue

Gasp
Hanging on by a thread
Until you leave this earth
Snap into oblivion
Run into brick walls
Keel over into water
Collapse and die
Until you leave this earth
Snap into oblivion
Run into brick walls
Keel over into water
Collapse and die

The years now gone
What misery exists
Here on the Idaho plains
In the wheat fields
What misery exists
In these sarcastic rains
Praying for crop yields
This is how you died
After the rain fall
Eating your last meal
May 1945 we were worn
Energy and resolution
In the years that now gone
Here on the Idaho plains
In the wheat fields
What misery exists
In these sarcastic rains
Praying for crop yields
This is how you died
After the rain fall
Eating your last meal
May 1945 we were worn
Energy and resolution
In the years that now gone

The dust bowl
Why did the dust in Hooker
Farmer in Prowers County say
God was pushing away into the cooker
Holy water baby children pray
Why did the bones burn
In yellow stars did form
In gas and chamber urn
Upon the fences torn
Why thee mind forgets
My face a foreigner
For dementia wets
No more the self owner
Even tides these tears mourn
For she lays wilted white
Wonders why a god's scorn
Never left these stars dark light
Farmer in Prowers County say
God was pushing away into the cooker
Holy water baby children pray
Why did the bones burn
In yellow stars did form
In gas and chamber urn
Upon the fences torn
Why thee mind forgets
My face a foreigner
For dementia wets
No more the self owner
Even tides these tears mourn
For she lays wilted white
Wonders why a god's scorn
Never left these stars dark light

Silence
The world is silent
Whooshes pass through
EARS
Jet fighters pass the mind
MIND
Cats pounce in silence
Fatigue sets in
SILENCE
And then deAth
Whooshes pass through
EARS
Jet fighters pass the mind
MIND
Cats pounce in silence
Fatigue sets in
SILENCE
And then deAth
