You leave me here when you reach for the stars. Change a lightbulb, come sit by me on the stairs. For me a whiskey. Let’s shame the bars. Come back to Earth babe. I’ve got Starkrimson Pears. I’m getting dizzy. You’re running around. This watch I’m swinging don’t keep time or make a sound, but…

Midnight in Ferguson
Is it midnight yet in Ferguson? These days get hotter when the evening comes. I just might get to see the morning sun if I don’t wind up in Room 101! Now we’ll never know what it might have been like and we’ll disagree on what came first like the chicken and the egg in…
Goodbye America
Goodbye America, al vedersain, adieu! Some day I’ll come crawling back to you. And then we’ll go out dancing and we’ll have a ball. I’m sure by then I’ll be missing y’all. And then we’ll go out drinking and we’ll have a party and we’ll shoot the moon with our rubber band. And then we’ll…
That’s a Fact Jack
There were only nine jobs in a town of ten and that last man was looked down upon by the other men. He wound up begging in poverty thinking there’s no one around here working for me. Even with nothing to hide, there’s plenty to fear- thought an innocent man doing 99 years. When they…
God Cant Be Dead
I keep feeding my fishbowl head. Strange things keep occurring to me. Now looking back on almost every thing I ever said, I’m thinking I might not even have to believe for it to be so… CH needle to a thread If I’m not alive, God can’t be dead. For it is written. Because it’s…
Enough About Me
there’s a god walking a fine line between suicide and crucified there’s an ant climbing up the side of a bottle of moonshine in the sunshine there’s a town suddenly hushed down and the only sound is enough to drown there’s a beautiful flower that smells awful look but no noseful, it’s really terrible….. CHORUS …
82nd Avenue
Almost all gone racing to the end strange wide and frightened smile over’s my only friend 9:300 knock on the door housekeeping? sure, more towels and tell me again how your momma met your daddy at the Rambling Inn I’m sketching 82nd Avenue, Rod Stewart just walked by circa 1982. I wonder what the shady…
You Got This
Here’s hoping they can reach us, you know, life’s finest teachers the one’s to show us how to do what must be done. I don’t mean abstractly, I mean matter of factly, the nuts and bolts of flying to the sun. But who can show us where to look? How will we know what must…
It Was Dark
It all seemed so bright to me. Like a room lit by a spark. I didn’t know there were things I couldn’t see. I didn’t even know it was dark. A sign in the distance was showing me my aim was to leave a mark. I thought the moon was glowing, see I didn’t even…
The Reminder
How many days have I waved off the miracle to claim I have empirical proof that we are blind? How many ways do I hide from beauty as if it’s my duty to stay left behind? Rides in on each breath with wings from above taps my shoulder gives my sleeve a tug even in…
Holler and Hope
So glad the world can’t hear my thoughts. Oh if the world could hear my thoughts, from this world I’d likely be shot like a cannonball. I leave the light on, yes I do. Climb up to where I love the view. Sometimes the dark comes shining through like a cannonball. The cuckoo bird is…
Surly in the Morning
I wake up surly in the morning! you might not like talking to me. I need coffee just to be able to make coffee, I wake up like a cat up in a tree. Some folks rise and start shining ready to seize the day and as long as they keep their distance everything just…
One More Time
One more time, one more time, one more time old friend. One more time, one more time, I was just getting it at the end. Never heard that one, where’d you find that one? what were you thinking? what were you on? where did that come from? were you drinking? That’s my new favorite song!…
Off the Chain
Dime a dozen? Well, I’ll take a dozen. Buck twenty, for all that fussin, might as well throw in a couple more and keep the change. Across the nation, station to station, people finding themselves losing their patience just too much information for a brain. When I set out I wanted to be like apple…
Soldier Song
Alright Soldier, Rock & Roll Can’t win the war just sitting He’s off on another tour No one believes in the mission Writing to his worried wife He tells her not to worry Another day in the life Can’t be in any hurry They say, you can always change the channel If you don’t like…
