star crossed

We come down the mountain way Far from home out in san jose Or santa fe whats the fucking rhyme Outta place baby outta time They parade like the president Make that face like they gonna win And Emily would just turn away And joey looks to her and says We’re all standing on star-crossed ground And we wont fight We’re sick and we’re tired Testify We’ll all standing on star-crossed ground And we’re on fire Get sick and we die No more sacrifice It was no use remembering She was old, he was young again But every day’s like a spinning top You never know when it’s gonna stop It is all about the medicine Make you sink baby make you swim But all the world is a mandolin All the tunes are contained within We’re all standing on star-crossed ground And we wont fight We’re sick and we’re tired Testify We’ll all standing on star-crossed ground And we’re on fire Get sick and we die No more sacrifice He asked her if it was so Gotta ways, she said, we gotta go There were teamsters at the station To give the pair some mis-education And they would travel from town to town Create a sound on top of a sound Illumintate your neighborhood He wouldn’t tell he now if he could We’re all standing on star-crossed ground And we wont fight We’re sick and we’re tired Testify We’ll all standing on star-crossed ground And we’re on fire Get sick and we die No more sacrifice She can talk you into anything Make you think baby make you sing Make you care baby make you love Make you kiss baby make you hug Love song that you settle down Deep space and your outta town Let it light baby let it flow Let it fly baby let it glow We’re all standing on star-crossed ground And we wont fight We’re sick and we’re tired Testify We’ll all standing on star-crossed ground And we’re on fire Get sick and we die No more sacrifice

easy to pretend

many patches to this word
many parses to this world
signs and sad sing along
we must be going must be gone
try and always ringing true
misty top and golden rules
they will not break they will not bend
from now until the living end

and it's easy for us to pretend
that's it's easy for us to be friends
as we move on through each others days
that it's more than foggy cloudy haze

it's harder for us to ignore
the face of God that's at our door
we almost dare to let him in
but then it's back to work again

if i could alternate melody

if i could

i'd give you everything if i could
i'd buy you diamond rings if i could
i'll be there by your side, day and night, black and white, morning light

i'll pray for our salvation if i should
i'll pray for domination if i should
whatever comes to mind, when it's time, day and night, black and white

i'll shed 1000 skins if you would
shed 1000 skins with me too
we'll be quite the pair
day and night
black and white
all is right

uncommon i think, i'm comin for you
there's a following here that's following through
with a reasoning heart i bless this food
on the shore of the lake his words ran true
the kingdom is yours, happy are you

in the blink of an eye, the spirit descends
the faithful cathc fire through the thick and the thin
we're dropping the nets and we're reeling them in
a day at a time, minute by minute
the kingdom is ours, let it shine it

let me believe Lord, let me be free
let me believe Lord, help me to see
please promise me this thing or maybe i'm blind
i promise you this thing a day at a time
this kingdom of yours, let it be mine

the only song i know

dream awaken and are washed out to the sea
a body reckons to the west and to the east

a little bit lonely? i can hear your mocassins
footsteps slowly through the snow and through the wind

she is a beauty, dark eyed beauty of the night
she's a cutey, she's so wrong and she's so right

alabaster, frozen bitter smiles
faster, faster....miles, miles, miles, and miles

bye bye is the only song i know
bye bye is the only song i know
bye bye is the only song she knows
bye bye is the only song she knows

hear her a'comin;, bright as a sunny day
she come a runnin', and she'll take your breath away

once in a moment, i can feel it falling down
once in a stone age, her feet will touch the ground

i'll take it to the end, to the sea
i'll make it for the war and for the peace

i'll move you with a steady breath of air
she will move you here and there and everywhere

bye bye is the only song i know
bye bye is the only song i know
bye bye is the only song she knows
bye bye is the only song she knows

minds collecting all the stars out into space
resurrecting who has died and washed away

closing like a willow, like a vine
showing like a hundred dollar wine

bullets flying through the porcelain
she full of it, all without and all within

she is trying to rub the ashes fro her hair
she's in trouble cuz the guys are everywhere

bye bye is the only song i know
bye bye is the only song i know
bye bye is the only song she knows
bye bye is the only song she knows

caifornia is now a distant memory
but it is calling out to you and out to me

fear is nothing, it is empty, it is lies
we will sign here, on the holy dotted line

five hundred feelings flowing down the mountainside
with no meaning attaching to the other side

wish for a dollar or a lover or a meal
wish for a collar or a stack of wood to steal

it ain't fairly heaven, it ain't now fairly hell
there's no judgement, right near this here water well

pray for tomorrow cuz fuck it all today
there's no tomorrow cuz thomson's on his way

she is empty, she will shed her skin
zero to seventy in a car carved out of skin

sing a believer, sing it long and sing it hard
i'm a believer after all it's after dark

the moon

the moon

speaking bout the weather
receding from togetherness
remember, i'll never trade you
for bricks or feathers
sand and the sediment
the workers and the peasants fade through

the plans and the pleasures
words and the measurements
never will remember us fools
they will sieze and they set them
abide them and they bed them
these beautiful women of the moon

my earth was a spherical
amazing come-miracles
craft automatic fork and spoon
and the spirit did arrive
with a cat's keen eyes
and the goddess of the heart it
was seduced

the rocks and scissors
melts the gold and the treasures
remember what makes one human
animal and leather
forms the face of the cleverness
on the bloodless night of the moon

the girls are prominents
with soft spoken dominance
enough is enough is a tune
played for lovesick criminals
who bark out the syllables
keeping their company to one or two

and the wine hits the water
and the sons and the daughters
remember what it's like to be a fool
it's all animal and mineral
and sky-sick cynical
bloodless lights of the moon

we are lost like the children
only mothers can envision
in the cardboard county of the room
where the circles arrive
and the black doves dive
and the deep sea fishing lines are loosed

thrown like a pebble
at the dark door of hell
and patriots and crosses mark the tombs
all of our seasick courage
and our right brain worry
scattered like the dust upon the moon

my marie 5 d sharp

These 4 walls mean everything to me

Touching the sky is a breeze

I’m  held in your arms, I am free

And the best of it all is a dream

Men have confessed this disease

Christmas this year will be green

Nothing is just what it seems

My marie, my marie, my marie

I’ve counted the tears and the sighs

How could it be other wise?

We smile, but o great lord our cries

Unto thee the soul will arise

Beneath our sore feet, the long mile

And the dirt and the clay it is vile

We wear a mask of grins and lies

And pay a debt of human guile

The poor and the weak take their chance

For a glass and a song and a dance

Stumble and fall from the blow

While the vultures feast on the marrow

I have not got long to live dear

But who now will argue on appearance

For now I am sturdy and able

The pick of the gentelmans stable
