There’s a new song in my heart
since Beautiful Em
has set it free
There’s a new song in my heart
it’s a wonderful
synchronicity!
Most of my cares
are cast away
via transparencies
on display. . .
O what peace of mind
this is sooo sublime
There’s a new song
in
my heart!
since Beautiful Em
has set it free
There’s a new song in my heart
it’s a wonderful
synchronicity!
Most of my cares
are cast away
via transparencies
on display. . .
O what peace of mind
this is sooo sublime
There’s a new song
in
my heart!

Revelry
The morning pangs still drum out revelry
but now are cast aside in this self-made leprosy
ten days gone might as well be a thousand
but no one's counting when you're already suffering
So I hit the shelf and pour out some punishment
get riled up on CNN and the government
I burn my songs with a lifetime effigy
senseless days long lost in the wondering
Midday comes and the smoke's still stuttering
life's a mess, as my mind keeps uttering
ten days gone might as well be a thousand
but no one's counting when you're...
but now are cast aside in this self-made leprosy
ten days gone might as well be a thousand
but no one's counting when you're already suffering
So I hit the shelf and pour out some punishment
get riled up on CNN and the government
I burn my songs with a lifetime effigy
senseless days long lost in the wondering
Midday comes and the smoke's still stuttering
life's a mess, as my mind keeps uttering
ten days gone might as well be a thousand
but no one's counting when you're...

Faith, in Chains
( uncut version )
When the weather takes a turn
For the worst of how you feel.
Ripped down to bare bones that burn,
Stripped down to your cage of steel.
I’m the lover waiting there,
In the deepest of your pain.
Lets you know your heart I’ll wear,
Locked it with your ball & chain.
Sudden glimpse the underworld,
I furtive meet another.
Brazen crave, the other’s furled,
Of every man his brother.
Gone, my sweet touch while alive,
Feel the claws that open you.
Take the honey from the hive, ...
When the weather takes a turn
For the worst of how you feel.
Ripped down to bare bones that burn,
Stripped down to your cage of steel.
I’m the lover waiting there,
In the deepest of your pain.
Lets you know your heart I’ll wear,
Locked it with your ball & chain.
Sudden glimpse the underworld,
I furtive meet another.
Brazen crave, the other’s furled,
Of every man his brother.
Gone, my sweet touch while alive,
Feel the claws that open you.
Take the honey from the hive, ...

It Takes Two To Ghost Dance
I've traveled this trail of tears
so many times before
always ending with a crying shaman
left behind holding the bag
waving a white flag
Here I am, not as lawman, just a layman
giving you a taste of your own medicine
Man, do you hear what I'm sayin'?
when I say that
Apache servers make for poor spirit horses
charging buffalo wing style across
battlefield littered with bull shitters impaled
by their own disdain dipped arrows scrolled
dulled keyboard warrior...

Oh Darlin
But darlin' i'll find a way
To let you know what you meant to me
Guess it was meant to be
I hold you in my heart
As life's most precious part
Oh darlin'
I dream about you often my pretty darlin'
(darlin' you're so fine)
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love uh huh oh

GAS
Humpty Dumpty sat on his ass
full of wind that he wanted to pass
all the king's horses and people of class
couldn't survive and they were all gassed
full of wind that he wanted to pass
all the king's horses and people of class
couldn't survive and they were all gassed

Regressin'
No one really knows just what to do
So take a step back from your own view
No need to carry with you what you held then
’Cause you might never see those mountains again.
Everybody’s tryin’ to find how to be
I don’t know but I’ve picked up a few keys
Like: don’t listen to who speaks with such certainty
To tell you what’s what and what life should be.
’Cause the truth is no one really knows
Even though they know they do.
Circumstances got everyone bound in their throes
And in their view.
But if you flip through how history...
So take a step back from your own view
No need to carry with you what you held then
’Cause you might never see those mountains again.
Everybody’s tryin’ to find how to be
I don’t know but I’ve picked up a few keys
Like: don’t listen to who speaks with such certainty
To tell you what’s what and what life should be.
’Cause the truth is no one really knows
Even though they know they do.
Circumstances got everyone bound in their throes
And in their view.
But if you flip through how history...

Dracula: The Opera
Mist rising from the twilit ground
Awake, my children of the night
The sun has retreated and the lost are found
And darkness encourages our sight
I rejoice in this perfect hour
As remnants of sleep fall away
I thrill in this surge of power
Still growing with the death of day
We're emerging in a barren land
The landscape long curse with terror
The righteous will no longer take a stand
Their resolve has vanished in the air
My spirit will learn to dip and soar
Set sail beneath the stars above
I will step proudly on a foreign...
Awake, my children of the night
The sun has retreated and the lost are found
And darkness encourages our sight
I rejoice in this perfect hour
As remnants of sleep fall away
I thrill in this surge of power
Still growing with the death of day

The Right Side of the Grass
Well, I done lost my grip...
and my skin don't fit...
My perky parts ain't perky any more.
Cain't find my keys
and now my knees
are evenin' the score...for
all the stupid things I done
when I was just a lass.
So don't be a dope
'cause there's always hope
on the right side of the grass.
Every cliff I climbed
All the falls I took
as I bounced down the slope on my ass..
But, hey... it's OK
'cause I'm still hangin' here

POETDITTY
(Sung to the tune of Waylon Jennings' "Momma Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys"-intended to be funny not inflammatory, after all I'm a member of the tribe)
*"Momma don’t let your babies"
grow up to be poets
don’t let’em write stanzas
or live in a loft
expose ‘em to hard labor
before they go soft
"Momma don’t let your babies"
grow up to be poets
they always complain
and the best are insane
pining for someone they love
* Quoted verbatim from Waylon Jennings' song,...

MAMA SONG
Everything looks gorgeous, mama
Everything looks right as rain
Everything looks gorgeous, mama
Why can’t I go out to play?
Do you have your jacket, lovely?
Do you have all that you need?
It’s a cruel, cruel world, trust me
I don’t want to see you bleed
Everybody is playing, mama
Everybody is having fun
Everybody is playing, mama
These feet were made to run
Keep your hand in my hand, darling
Listen to the words I say
Many things are so alarming
Maybe you can wait a day
I don’t wanna wait...
Everything looks right as rain
Everything looks gorgeous, mama
Why can’t I go out to play?
Do you have your jacket, lovely?
Do you have all that you need?
It’s a cruel, cruel world, trust me
I don’t want to see you bleed
Everybody is playing, mama
Everybody is having fun
Everybody is playing, mama
These feet were made to run
Keep your hand in my hand, darling
Listen to the words I say
Many things are so alarming
Maybe you can wait a day
I don’t wanna wait...
