.
Your eyes are moist, you scream and shout
As though you were a man possessed
From deep inside comes rushing forth
All the anguish you suppressed
Up on your wall hangs your degree
Your parents craved so much for you
And though you're trained to make your mark
You still don't quite know what to do
It's never too late to start all over again
To love the people you caused the pain
And help them learn your name
Oh, no, not too late
It's never too late to start all over again
Well, it's much too late to start again
To try and find a little bliss
So on your woman and your child
You release your bitterness
You drift apart some more each day
You feel the guilt and loneliness
And the God of your childhood you can't find
To save you from your emptiness
It's never too late to start all over again
To love the people you caused the pain
And help them learn your name
Oh, no, not too late
It's never too late to start all over again
You say you've only got one life to live
And when you're dead you're gone
Your family comes to your grave
And with tears in their eyes
They tell you, you did something wrong
"You left us alone"
Tell me who's to say after all is done
And you're finally gone, you won't be back again
You can find a way to change today
You don't have to wait 'til then

The Idol
.
Oh the idol, Oh the idol
They knew the monster's every trick
They knew his secrets every stitch
All of it had been a game
Nothing but a charlatan
Perhaps there was a chance of coming through
It even seemed that he might think it too
But he could see no point in diving in
He knew that he would neither sink nor swim
And so they found he'd nothing left to say
Just another idol turned to clay
It seemed to them he must know what to do
They knew that only he could pull them through
They thought that he would make a plan
He's work it out, he'd understand
Like drowning men they clutched at every straw
They knew that he had saved them all before
But he could see no point in diving in
He knew that he would neither sink nor swim

Re: Poetry "The Idol"
The Damned: Antipope
I'm going back to church tonight
Just like back when I was eight
But I don't mean to pray
I'm gonna nick a collection plate
I've got nothing against church
Only people that go there and show they're
Plain ignorant and don't understand
A congregation at weekends will
change their behaviour
So many people are weak and then have to
seek answers from pedlars of hope
I should know I used to go there myself
That's the day I became antipope
There's gonna be some fun tonight
Spreading news around the town
That the vicar's a transvestite
With a fetish for robes and gowns
chorus
Religion doesn't mean a thing
Its just another way of being right wing
I think sex films are okay
I don't dig that pope, no way
chorus

Nirvana Blues
.
They both met in college
A spontaneous thing
Smokin marijuana
A mid summer nights dream
Their parents they were freakin
They were freakin out cause alcoholic beverages
Is all that they allow
He'd listen to some Zeppelin
While standing on his head
She's packin the VW
To go hear the Grateful Dead
Nirvana blues twenty two years after
And their walkin in their parents shoes
Nirvana blues tryin to repeat nirvana
Just something they forgot to do
History is repeating it self
Their son is off to college now
And independence ring his bell
He met his soul companion
A spontaneous thing
Smoking marijuana
A mid winter nights dream
Their parents they are freaking
They are freaking out
Cause alcoholic beverages
Are all that they do now
He listening to some Widespread
And surfing the internet
Two tickets pinned to the wall
To go hear the Grateful Dead
A poster of Bob Marley
And the Dalai Lama's smile
After graduation
Their gonna trip thru Europe for a while
Nirvana blues
Twenty two years from now
Will they be walking in their parent's shoes
Nirvana blues
Will they tell their children
It's just something we forgot to do

Jesus Is My Girlfriend
.
Look at my hands
They're all over you
My rusty nails stuck to you like you
My arms around you
Like audio tape
Got a little red horn hidden underneath this cape
It's not dirty
It's not rude
I'll go to Kuwait if I wanna get wanna get crude
It's not filthy
It's not lewd
I wanna be famous just so I can get sued
Guess who's my girlfriend
Yeah, it's Jesus, she's my girlfriend
Wanna know who my boyfriend is
No, nought out of ten
Jesus ain't a man, she's my girlfriend
Jesus is my girlfriend, Jesus is my girlfriend
It's not drink
It's not food
It's a man in a shuttle with a tube
I can't fly, so what, I can't cook
Can't even catch a tune with a hook
I've been to Hong Kong
And South Dakota
In a little wood plane
Without a motor
Got a girl in bed
When I took it further
Where, Jamaica?
No, I coaxed her, ha, ha!
It's not dirty
It's not rude
I'll go to Kuwait if I wanna get wanna get crude
It's not filthy

I wanna get famous just so I can get sued
I love her

Preacher Row
.
Welcome Reverend John to our new home
There's a church on every block
Magnolia trees a gentle breeze
On a street that time forgot
Perfect house perfect yards a preachers paradise
The parents teach their kids to walk the line
But only on the right
Worship the flag and don't talk back
And never question why
Do what you're told say your prayers
But never look deep inside
No don't - don't you go inside
Down on preacher row
Sure can get cold sometimes
Down on preacher row
Even in the summer time
Down on preacher row
It's a narrow state of mind
One night the Reverend John had a dream
He saw the whole congregation
Standin' naked before his eyes
In all their arrogance
They think themselves the cream of the crop
The best of Americans
Then the dream said someone long ago
Told the biggest lie
Omniscient is just a word
Cause God lives in the sky
The ancient angels are amazed
That they don't look inside
The Reverend John he left a note
Nailed upon that big church door
I'm turnin' this job down
I've seen enough of empty eyes
Thirsty for that love inside
I won't be your Sunday clown

I'm Just A Man
.
I'm just a man
My will is so strong
When I've got plans
I close my eyes to the pain
My mother ran
My father left town
But we still have what's necessary to go on
Flesh and blood
Flesh and blood
I'm part of you
You're part of me
There's nothing said
That cannot be undone
My brother's sane
His heart is so strong
He's killed some pain
To himself nearly did the same
It washed away
Into the cruel sea
Like everything that's built upon the sand
Flesh and blood
Flesh and blood
Sweet sister T
She loved so long and hard
Kept to herself
Until that right man came along
Some men they lie
Some men they cheat
But now she's found
Someone to be as strong
I'm just a man
My will is so strong
When I've got plans
I close my eyes to the pain
My father ran (flesh and blood)
My mother left town
But we still have (flesh and blood)
What's necessary to go on
I'm part of you
You're part of me

I Hate Cars
I hate cars
I hate how much they cost
I hate the smell of exhaust
I hate the price of gas
I hate when cops wont let me pass
I hate paying for insurance
I hate the cost of maintenance
I hate traffic congestion
I hate dealership deception
I hate their sound
I hate the roads that cover the ground

We all know there's something wrong and we've known it all along
Sincerity
You may think there's no one else till they put you on a shelf
Society
Pay your taxes stand in line help them plan for your demise
Society
Crush the weak to get your share cause nobody's playing fair
And no one cares
How long you pray makes no difference today
When your society devices how you'll pay
When finding the truth makes no difference to you
Anyway you look at it you're gone get screwed
You loose
Society
No one here can get along cause our history's to long
Sincerity
Think you're going with the flow but you never really know
Society
To all the leaders it's a game and it's making you insane

Data patterns are supplied proof tap back up all the lies we're hardly alive

Chicken Wolf

You, comin' here
Tellin' me how proud you are
Some clown just handed you
A shiny little silver star
You say, over there, the men are brave
While the chickens stay away
'Cause they're all too much afraid
To fight for somethin' they should believe in
I'm sorry friend, you've got it backwards
They won't follow when your whistle blows
Won't come runnin' when your rooster crows
Don't eat the same old corn until their minds have gone
They don't fear the squawk of the silly little chicken hawk
Uh, uh huh, help us clean our own backyard
Before you go to preach abroad
Believe me, it won't be easy
As you well know, not even bird can roam the sky
I see your wings, man, but can you fly?
All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, scratchin' dirt
Cluckin' in the barnyard, tell me, could that be you?
In that case, lay another egg
Try to save yourself from the bar-b-que

Far Away Eyes
.
I was driving home early Sunday morning through Bakersfield
Listening to gospel music on the colored radio station
And the preacher said, "You know you always have the Lord by your side"
And I was so pleased to be informed of this
That I ran Twenty red lights in his honor
Thank you Jesus, thank you lord
I had an arrangement to meet a girl, and I was kind of late
And I thought by the time I got there she'd be off
With the nearest truck driver she could find
Much to my surprise, there she was sittin' in a corner
A little bleary, worse for wear and tear
Was a girl with far away eyes
Well I tell you
So if you're down on your luck
And you can't harmonize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes
Well
Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send
Ten dollars to the church of the sacred bleeding heart of Jesus
Located somewhere in Los Angeles, California
And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio
And all my dreams would come true
So I did, the next week, I got a prayer for the girl
Well, you know what kind of eyes she got
Well I tell you
So if you're down on your luck
I know you all sympathize
Find a girl with far away eyes
And if you're downright disgusted
And life ain't worth a dime
Get a girl with far away eyes

Not To Touch The Earth
.
Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but
Run, run, run
Let's run
Let's run
House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
C'mon baby run with me
Let's run
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run
The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing until you get inside
Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Come on along, not goin' very far
To the East to meet the Czar
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run
Whoa!
Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl, we're almost home
Ya, c'mon!
We should see the gates by mornin'
We should be inside the evenin'
Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Soon, soon, soon
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon!
Soon!
Soon!
I am the Lizard King

The Easy Road
.
If you're looking for a place
You can fly together
And you're really afraid of
What you're leaving behind
Take the easiest road
But take care my brother
For you'll never find peace
With a troubled mind
Far better to love each other
Than to worry so deeply
'Bout the place you're in
And far better to kiss her softly
Than lookin' back on a love
You'll never have again
Time's as fickle as
The sky in winter
And two hearts always
Were better than one
Love has the wings
Of a tireless angel
She'll stay beside you
Till the day is done
La la la la la ...
You'll never have again
No no no, never again
You'll never have again

(Don't Fear) The Reaper
.
All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain (We can be like they are)
Come on baby (Don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (Don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (Don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man
La la la, la la
La la la, la la
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
Forty thousand men and women every day (Like Romeo and Juliet)
Forty thousand men and women every day (Redefine happiness)
Another forty thousand coming every day (We can be like they are)
Come on baby (Don't fear the reaper)
Baby take my hand (Don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (Don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man
La la la, la la
La la la, la la
Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
He came last night out of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
The door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew and then he appeared (Saying don't be afraid)
Come on baby (And she had no fear)
And she ran to him (Then they started to fly)
They looked backward and said goodbye (She had become like they are)
She had taken his hand (She had become like they are)
Come on baby (Don't fear the reaper)

I will know the ecstasy
and the pain
of freedom.
I will be ordinary again.
Yes, ordinary,
that terrifying condition,
where all is a possibility,
where the present exists and must be faced.

Lord Have Mercy On My Soul
.
Now there's somethin' I'd like to talk to you about
at this particular moment, and that's about the one
thing that we won't be able to do together. Unless we
all become as one. And if we all become as one, then
we can walk thru it together. Now I ain't walked thru
it all the way yet. But there was a time I walked
into it, and I had to go into it alone, that's this
place called the Halls of Karma. Now when you go into
the Halls of Karma the way I did, I don't know, it
might have been hallucination, but I think it was
real. You see I felt the presence of the two energies;
the positive and the negative; of God and the Devil,
however you want it. And they were pullin' and
decidin' and wondering what to do with my soul, and I
couldn't take this at this moment 'cause I had to come
back to be with you people to do a thing and I proved
to 'em, in bargainin' with 'em that I had a thing to
do for the good of all of us. Out of this bargain,
the Devil, he got my body for the good in his needs
while I'm here on earth and the Lord, he's got my mind
for the good of the universe and for the good of man.
And they both got me in between 'cause they both got
my soul. So the next time I come up, I want the Lord
to, Please have Mercy, On My Soul
I've walked through the Halls of Karma
I shook hands with both the Devil and God
They turned my eyes to the inside to see
Where my energies have gone
Yes I've run with both all through my life
I've respected and reflected them both
Yes the sympathy of God as he looked
At my life the excitement of the Devil as we talked
So Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul
The Devil said, "scratch my back and I'll
Scratch your back for sure"
So you have done all these sins for him
My heart could not be pure
I found out what means more to me
Than anything on this earth
To be ready for my judgment day
Ready to face the truth
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul
I hope I've done the right things
For both your sake and mine
I preach in what I live for
My only fear is fear of time
I wanted to look logical
To both my "Maker" and his host
But this trip of life must be complete
Or my cards will be lost
So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul

Cold Turkey
.
Temperatures rising
Fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no high
My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead
Cold turkey has got me on the run
My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can't see no body
Leave me alone
My eyes are wide open
Can't get to sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again
Oh I'll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Anyone for tennis
.
Twice upon a time in the valley of the tears
The auctioneer is bidding for a box of fading years
And the elephants are dancing on the graves of squealing mice
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?
And the ice creams are all melting on the streets of bloody beer
While the beggars stain the pavements with fluorescent Christmas cheer
And the Bentley driving guru is putting up his price
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?
And the prophets in the boutiques give out messages of hope
With jingle bells and fairy tales and blind colliding scopes
And you can tell they're all the same underneath the pretty lies
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?
The yellow Buddhist monk is burning brightly at the zoo
You can bring a bowl of rice and then a glass of water too
And fate is setting up the chessboard while death rolls out the dice
Anyone for tennis, wouldn't that be nice?

Re: Poetry ~ What a Wonderful World
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
(George Weiss / Bob Thiele)
(Popularized by Louis Armstrong)
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Oh yeah

Don't run to your death
Free Four

The memories of a man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in gloom of the sickroom
And talk to yourself as you die.
Life is a short, warm moment
And death is a long cold rest
You get your chance to try in the twinkling of an eye:
Eighty years, with luck, or even less.
So all aboard for the American tour,
And maybe you'll make it to the top.
And mind how you go, and I can tell you, 'cause I know
You may find it hard to get off.
You are the angel of death
And I am the dead man's son.
And he was buried like a mole in a fox hole.
And everyone is still on the run.
And who is the master of fox hounds?
And who says the hunt has begun?
And who calls the tune in the courtroom?
And who beats the funeral drum?
The memories of an old man in his old age
Are the deeds of a man in his prime.
You shuffle in gloom in the sickroom
And talk to yourself till you die.

Big Chief Woolly Bosher
.
In the land they call the west
On the prairies virgin crest
Lived a great man and his braves
And he led them to their graves
Big chief plays with baby son
The work of the indian today is done
Life is easy, life is grand
Til there is white man, gun in hand
Started out when settlers came
And built their homes on the indian range
Big chief woolly bosher liked it none
Traded with a bad man for a gun
Big chief looks out at his great land
Locomotive on the prairie stands
Life that leak from the city in the east
Let us destroy that iron beast
Big chief rides on the trail tonight
Tread the land for which he must fight
In their fight for love and glory
Some indians were saved
They lived to tell the story
And woolly bosher prays
Big chief rides on the trail tonight
Soldier boys marching in the morning light
Bring the guns, bring the bows
Lets blow them into heaven lets see if God knows
One hundred men must have to die
When a thousand soldiers look you in the eye
Big chief sees his men fall round
The soldiers kill and the bugle sounds
In their fight for love and glory
No indians were saved
And big chief woolly bosher
Had written on his grave
He has done no wrong
Except being bold

I Shall Not Pass This Way Again
.
Through this toilsome world alas!
Once and only once I pass;
If a kindness I may show,
If a good deed I may do
For a suffering fellow man,
Let me do it while I can.
No delay, for it is plain
I shall not pass this way again!
