Breathe
A suffocating air
The city is still
I want to breathe
I want to breathe.
The city is still
I want to breathe
I want to breathe.

NYC 1963
The studio on 4th Street was the place they needed to be
Hope & determination was in their minds, that they can change society
They were considered the outcasts outside of their community
Songs being created in Greenwich Village that weren't so rare
Strings being strummed by poets, ideas to influence others
It began with Woodie Guthrie and exploded with Bob Dylan
In the evening, the beatniks and the long haired girls came too
Coffee shops heard their words
And when the next day came they took action
The blue collared army
Their eyes &...

July 1976 - July 1977
It all started out, when he was born
he lived a life of rage and scorn
a sick attitude against his family
his mind is wicked, murder was his fantasy
Pursuing his motives he takes your life
with shotgun in hand, you scream in fright
and now its your time to die
takes out his weapon and aims between the eyes
He called himself the Son of Sam
all your lives will soon be damned
.44 caliber special bulldog revolver
the heads of his victims looked like peach cobbler
Locked in a cell for all his life
many...

they weren’t always that dark, nights
streets were never really that
dark thoughts were all in my
head and in my eyes
were neon lights and
lamp posts of a city around which
I once used to walk
dark thoughts were all in my
head and in my eyes
were neon lights and

same streets
mid victorian london saw dickens
at night pacing the streets, the same streets
I used to walk in the dark
and lonely moments I couldn’t sleep

Riding the current
There's no night like tonight
They're all different
I went out there
I could taste the air
The power lines buzzing
I became part of the current
Like I knew exactly what was supposed to happen
So when the pig ran the stop sign and nearly ran my ass over,
my heart didn't skip once
I watch the man across the street watch me
He's plugged in too
We're both riding the current
It's not paranoia
It's just being on
Connected by the eyes
The eyes flash like knives
In the 7-11
I watch the man behind the counter ...

Oh My God! What Have I Been Drinking Last Night?!
Xaviera
was sitting naked on
the foot of the bed and looking scared
before she turned and glanced at Aaron and Skylar
still sleeping until she stood up and
looked at the Las Vegas
skyline there.

on ludgate hill
loved walking through the city, down fleet street,
the strand, and charing cross as I am that I struggle
to stand up to it now I remember who I was as
I am still, although perhaps with less wobbly feet.
