The Earth Cracks (MB) 2002 ti bon ange BMI
You were my woman / I was your man
That’s as close as we got to being down to earth
We were soon corrupted, soon departed
Soon ignored, soon delivered, all too soon
I saw Francine through the window bars
Her hair was short Federal attire
She said, “I’d advise you to shut your mouth.”
We talked anyway, no details
Lost in the woods / a truck up a tree
I’m a film in the sun without her irritation
Francine says, “walk, you can’t fly or
They’ll follow you home, eyes on the prize.”
(chorus)
The earth cracks and we fall in 4x
The wind and the rocks are cruel as men
Francine measures the stars
with a fillet knife up here sleeve
Nothing lasts / I’m ready to go but
The days go by - a string of pearls
White light vortex fades away
I wasn’t born to suffer, sleep and die
Or to speak for you/ or deny
Bridge
Because I have faith
Francine mocks me from her room. (Alt ) and so much time to see my faith rewarded
She will never see the street again
No Sons of Sabah, no Four Lads,
no cheerleader moms, no deadbeat dads
No Digidesign, No Ganesh, no oyster pies, no whistling fish,
No force of fate, no micro dot, no cultural clues, no Paul Muldoon
No Caesar’s ghost, no clarified butter, no Sundance, no V for victory

soon one morning march 18 2013
soon one morning
death comes creeping in my room
soon one morning
death comes creeping in my room
soon one morning
death comes creeping in my room
these are dangerous times
I'll say nothing - boom boom
death came looking,
took my mother and moved on
death came looking,
took my mother and moved on
death came looking,
took my mother and moved on
these are dangerous times,
i'll say nothing and be gone
death has left me,
left me a motherless child
death has left me,
left me a motherless child
death has left me,
left me a motherless child
these are dangerous times,
I'll say nothing
face my soles to the north turn my bed around/ face my head to the south/magnetize /hypnotize. no victory, no revenge, a wilderness of sweets, the sum of earthly bliss

Mushroom Crowd. 2015. Henderson LA
LOve uh love uh love uh love-uh LOve uh love uh love uh love-uh
I never signed a pledge to move my body like jello
I never saw a fight in a club end in happiness never drank the champagne punch
I am running with a mushroom crowd
running with a mushroom crowd
cabs speeding past me/ i must be invisible -
running with a mushroom crowd
LOve uh love uh love uh love-uh LOve uh love uh love uh love-uh
I can taste the helix the walls are gone
talking to people who are not alive
Insensitive doll starts to twitch not alive not alive
pretending to be a carbon life form
a rubber Taylor Swift mask on the side of the road
I am running with a mushroom crowd
running with a mushroom crowd
cabs speeding past me/ i must be invisible -
running with a mushroom crowd
I can move to tel aviv if you go there with me
the sign says stop but I’m gonna keep going ,
there’s nobody coming and nobody looking
the sign says stop but I’m gonna keep going ,
heraclitus messed up his hair
heraclitus stopped the flow and messed with his hair

Hellbound Train
A drunkard lay on the bar room floor
He drunk til he could not drink no more
Went to sleep with a troubled brain
Dreamed he was on a hellbound train
Fireman he was a crazy tramp
His headlight was a brimstone lamp
The tank was full of lager beer and the devil himself was the engineer
He blew the whistle and he rang the bell and the devil said boys the next stop's hell and all the passengers
Screamed in pain and begged the devill to stop that train
But the devil just laughed at their misery- he hollared and roared and yelled with glee. You paid your fare with the rest of the load now you get to ride itotn he end of the road
You paid your fare at the bishop's bar, now you get to rise in the devil's car. You laid up gold til your purses bust and ruined young women with your beastly lust
You double crossed partners, you cursed and stole, you belong to me, body and soul
Your bones will burn in the flames that roar
You'll scorch and sizzle from rind to core
Then the barroom skook from a terrible scream as the drunkard woke from from his dream
Down on his knees on the bar room floor
He prayed and he prayed and he prayed some more
His prayers and vows were not in vain and he road to more on the hell bound train

DRUG FREE
I'm drug free, just a drug free guy
With so many free drugs I just get by
It's so hard on a fella to know where he fits
A drug free world is the drug free pits
Drug free living , we're all forgiven
It's a drug free world full of drug free girls
Drug free living , we're all forgiven
I'm a drug free guy on a drug free high
Look at the losers taking drugs and getting high
I was like them -now I'm an envious guy
It's so hard on a fella to know where he fits
A drug free world is the drug free pits
Drug free living , we're all forgiven
It's a drug free world full of drug free girls
Drug free living , we're all forgiven
I'm a drug free guy on a drug free high

Deep Regret 1968. Los Angeles
The place where I was born is still the same
All the people there, they know my name
They know me like I was their only son
I've turned my back on them- one by one
But my dreams terrify , awake or sleeping
Now I can't find a way to forget
Starry eyed dreams all gone missing
Now I'm drinking from the well of deep regret
Same old faces passing through this town
No reasons to stay / cant stick around
small town fairy tale life incomplete
The only way to win here is to fail or stay asleep
Now night has come to fall over the land
The river flows the cars and buses roll
I look out of the window at the lights
Where everything is out of my control
