Birdy Wake Up

 

Other: Alex are you awake?
Alex: huh oh ya
Other: listen to those birds out there
They’re out like mad this morning
Alex: oh yes, yes
Other: I’m going to open the window
Get a better listen
Alex: oh good good do that
Other: oh lord beautiful beautiful
Would you listen to that one
It seems to be sticking out from the rest
Alex: oh yes mm hmm I hear it
Other: it’s almost like it’s telling a story or something
Alex: Hmmm yes

Blueskies

 

What is changing?
What don't?
Tell me
Somethings shaping
Tell me what will be

Lifes like the weather
Sunny blues and grey showers
What will it be?
Nice or stormy
In the end

What would you do if you knew?
Would it be through
With nothing left for you to do

Or is it like the weather
Always new surprises
I hope I know
That well never know
The ending

Love Letter Mania

 

I got your letter
it made me feel so fine
and if that distance window
separates our love from completeness

then I'm not worried
cause distance is just time
and we can conquer that in our dreams

there is castle of faith that sits in the sky
and as the wind blows it follows
smiled on from all who have
dreamed of an eternal love
you can't build a base that high
some say its divine
others says its only a child
who thinks that they can fly

but ain't it true
that in the end
we'll all have the limitless sky

Dooby Wop

 

Baby bloway my mind
slice your peach and rouse my dibby dabby doober

that's right
you got it
oh

get your sweet long legs in bed
we got some rubby dubby lubbing to do
we'll make it sizzle

all night
we're gonna make it happen
we'll reach the height of passion

dooby wop
after the romancing
comes the best part
I think you know what I mean
we're gonna let off some steam

in the hay or in the garden
any time any way
I wanna make it with you
baby I wanna know you and show you
there ain't know better way
than making a baby
one love is two and three and….


12

Back Home

 

Sitting back home with the grass and the trees
Sweet breeze begging me please
Stay home where you can rest it with ease
Oh, ain't it good being home
Mom and dad and the kitty cat
Home

Margarita

 

Margarita throw your hair
Margarita will you share some time with me?
Just stand next to your window...

Margarita do you care?
Are you bothered by my stare?
Or did you know that I can see you?

Oh Margarita, you do look beautiful tonight.
I can see you're going to bed soon because you have your pretty pink nightgown on.
Oh what I'd give to see you take one of your showers, but I guess not in the night.
I wish there was more...

Margarita it’s a shame
how I use you in my game.
You wonder how I know your name.


14

That Gal

 

Check that gal
Check her out
She's weird
She's got a beard


15

Pass Away

 

I know it's dying
What can I do?
I watch it pass away
And I can't care
Cause then I'd be dieing too

It's a part of me
So dear
So very near
I just can't stand to see
This world take it easily

Maybe if it were gone
I'd just get the blues
But it's trapped silently
Stirring my soul
Waiting to let go
Let go!


16

Ocean Stanza

 

If you need a break that can wipe clean your slate it’s the ocean for you
of all that I've seen it’s the ocean that makes us the cleanest

come and wet your hair
feel it everywhere
so much harmony that you have to share

so then I'll hope you'll end as two
new love
shore love
a new pairs so cute
and though its dying soon
its just to spread the fruit

remember vacations you took to the beach in your childhood
these memories are filled to the brim with a love and happiness

smell the lotioned air
feel your childish care
castles in the sand and remember nothing

and then I hope you'll come to
caring for all that you have
grateful and sad
realizing that you've gotta get back there at last
better make it fast


17

Why?

 

Why can't we stay together?
Why do they send us apart?
They say it's for the better
They tell us we need to get smart

So they send us to schools
And then give us the holidays
Minimized love seems so cruel
And thoughtless
And now
I'm all alone

Our love was still in the growing stage
Bond blooming more day by day
But now it's just diminishing
Cause we didn't reach not fade away

Sooner or later
I'll start getting lonely
And run into some other girl
And then
Its over and done

Why?

Seasons Reasons

 

Funner wearing summer starlight
Freer moving summer clothes
The sun wiggles his toes
In the sand and on the sea

And she's pointing right at me
I don't care where you are
You're the center of the universe

Easy going autumn colors
Painted leaves are falling home
I didn't know death could glow
Radiating beauty

When it comes time for me to go home
Now I know where I'll go
To the source of the universe

Peaceful calm falls onto winter
Silent whites throughout the night
The snows letting us know
It's not the season for a fight

And thank God for time to rest in peace
And that's what lets you know
All is well in the universe

Love is brewing in your minds eye
Winters springing into life
The birds sing in the trees
Songs of amore and delight

And these songs will bring men to their knees
And the women will agree
Love created the universe


19

Ghost Detective

 

Ghost detective
what a perspective
he's got magnifying feelings
he'll feel the clue in you

don't try to run
he's as fast as lightning
he'll get you dead or alive
with karma by his side

Sailing

 

On a sailboat for two
We'll take a cruise on the blue
Out on the frictionless sea
We can just let ourselves be
Two lovers in love
Pulled by flapping white doves

Chorus: Oooh come sailing
While the sea is still free
Come sailing
Won't you come sailing
Won't you come sailing with me

We'll sail away
From that dull life on the bay

We'll have a picnic on deck
With all the fish that we catch
Fresh fish from the sea
And plus we get em for free
I'll get a wink from a fish
That knows I got a nice dish

Chorus

Come dine with me
Out on the seafood sea

Then in the cabin we'll lie
Sailoving if you'll be my
Beautiful sailing lady
Come on just please won't you say
Yes to a date on the sea
And make this sailor happy

Chorus

Take a date with me
On the romantic sea


21

Flying

 

I'm flying again sailing an airy sea (its 3D) rising up on a high rolling wind waving to all who can see I used to be sad (cause I couldn't fly) now I'm happy flying high looking down low (at what I used to know)


22

Baby What

 

Baby ya ya baby no no baby huh uh huh unt uh baby so what's kinda baby do you get ya ya no no huh uh huh uh huh unt uh maybe so my baby she's a maybe cause she listens to a different sorta call she's knows about time the rhythm and rhyme and that love only grows on the shore so when she takes me away I know that its forever more


23

Heartbreaking

 

Believe me your leaving has got my heart breaking don't go I gotta go I can't control all the heart breaking the train is leaving and though I'm grieving the ticket's sold saying goodbye tears my insides and my heart's aching


24

Green River

 

Green River
Don’t let it go down the drain
Let’s get it rolling clean through the plains

Green river
Made of snow and mountain rain
Some say it’s heaven sent
But you don’t care
Polluting it’s flow
You bring it into town
Through the sick cement
Only if you had a brain
You’ld let it go
I think you better soon
Couse we gotta team
Who want our green river clean?
Call us the clean gree river team


25

Girl

 

Chorus:
Girl
You bring the laughter
To my disaster
You strangle the truth

When that the waters blue
And we could see clear through
I saw the stones
You just saw the bones
So then you gave a grin
And started flapping your fins
Where did you go?
Someplace I didn’t know
I waited on the beach
You came back with some eats
It was a bone marrow
Why did you know?

(chorus)

When we were in Arabia
I had on a white hat
What did he say to ya?
The guy with the black cat
Out on the desert sand
I was caring a load
When we found a deadman
You gave a grin and joked
He looks like a scarecrow
Why did you know?

(chorus)

But sometimes when I tell her the news
I swear she looks right through me
Far away in a roofless dollhouse
Playing with headless babies


26

Sherley the Turtle

 

There she go
Slowly but surely
That’s the way it flows with sherley

Shes such a turtle
But shes beautiful

Shells painted
Fluorescent yellow blue
And though she’s tame
She’s scared of you

Sherley the turtle
Why can’t you let go?
Why can’t you hold on too?
You steady and slow
Your always on the move
When you gonna settle down?


27

Get A Whore

 

Can’t get a chick
Cause they’re all too slick
Through my fingers
Out the door
Guess I gotta get a whore

If your missing your chick
And you gotta get a kiss of the essence
Just get a whore and walk out the door


28

Leaving Today

 

Golden ear rings
Sapphires and diamonds
That’s all she wants

She only wants loving
That fits in the oven

She’s been doing me wrong
I can’t stay no longer
I’m leaving today
By by miss American pie


29

No More Games

 

I was a whore working my rounds at this party
When this guy came up to me
And said he’d give me anything
Money, clothes, and real gold jewelry
Then he left me
He got mad at me for the game
He started it
I’ll tell the girls downtown
Not to give him any
They’ll say
No way
Get your but back to Renea
Since you left she’s not the same
She’s gone lame
She makes no pay
We think she really loves ya
She’s no longer playing the game


30

Out on the Breaks

 

Out on the breaks
And I’m tired of working
Easier just to sit out on the breaks
That’s the only place where I’m not hurrying

Out on the breaks
They ain’t got no stakes
So no mistakes
Out on the breaks

No tricks or games
And no lying or hurting
Bumper stickers only give you loving
No teasing the girls are really flirting

Out on the breaks
Give what you take
You don’t need to shake
Out on the breaks

Out on the breaks
Life is slow
No exerting
Everything flows natural on the breaks
Easy this and that no need for learning

Out on the breaks
We’ve got it made
Lay in the shade
Out on the breaks


31

Tab Paying

 

Tabs
In bars run up whiskey runs
Dry
Heaves in toilets they pray to
God’s
Not pleased too much indulg
Gencing
kids end hooked up on
Crack
Sin walls filled in with bubble
Gum
Bee eats pokee cause he’s starve
Inter
God again Sends jesus Back to close the crack leaves hacks be
Hind
Legs get stuck in accident
lee
Way given then jesus is son Comes round to suck all the Sinsges From the pit heal upgoll
Geesus
Says to me its never
Done chew
Worry son just think of me with each cold one I pay your
Tabs


32

Down At The Busy Corner

 

People pass me by
While I just sit on my stoop and drink
Down at the busy corner
They said
Don’t you care about susanna?
You know she loves ya
Hey boy ya better go home


33

Bell Curve

 

Take a pee in the Rio Grande
What does it do to the earth?
Nothing if your friends don’t do it with you
Oh the bell curve
So that’s why they ring the bell at the church


34

Dirty Clothes Blues

 

All my baby ever talks about to me
Is getting my clothes on the line
Well if our loves boiled down to dirty laundry
I ain't got time

To stay round dumbfound
Breaking my back downtown
While she's soap opera candy bathtub feeling fine

Chorus: I said, "oh I gotta move out"
I left my dirty clothes my baby and my house

But don't you worry cause the house wasn't much to me
It ain't worth a dime
6 stairs, busted pipes, gas leaking
It ain't fit for life

And all the big mouthed fussy neighbors
Dabble in some kind of crime
I'm sick of living in a neighborhood
nicknamed "swine"

Chorus

Packed my clean clothes in my sack
I made some sandwiches and
Started heading south
Knew all my worries and my troubles were gone when I
Stepped outta that house


Gotta book by Bukowski and a bottle a wine
So now I'm sitting on the south bay feeling fine

Chorus

Isn't It Great

 

Scattered fixins scattered chow Talkings skidding getting loud These ordinary people have a say Cause eating seems to make us proud And livings fine so Grab yourself a tray Everybody gets in line People talking to the time (isn’t it fine) Snags aren’t hard to overcome Flicks nicks and pricks are common tricks They happen now and then to everyone Circle leaning is the one Dog tail dancing happens to be fun All the people grab their guns Shoot their neighbors get a dog bite (isn’t it right) Hat tipping sneaky lieing bread Find happiness in misery Take a tip from what the sophists say Apple bobbers pack in tight And you might get a date tonight All the men are grabbing gals And taking them to shopping malls (isn’t it nice) Time is relly what we need Cause even when the evenings done You’ll still be finding turdeys in the bird feed Don’t worry if your not to tall Even giants think they’re pretty small Everybody gets their hats and Runs around in bird splat (isn’t it great) Isn’t it grapevine ripe ice


37

The Criminal

 

Inmates talking (faintly)
I’m gonna get me a spoon
I’m gonna dig my way outa this place

Warden:
Allright boys
I’m gonna let Jimmy play for you
(applause and cheers from inmates)
but then after that your back in the cells

Jimmy: all right boys
settle down and I’ll sing you this song

Watch out bank teller
This gunman ain’t for show
Don’t try and be a hero
Just upen up the vault

Stear clear street walkers
These bumps along your path
Are emptying your pockets
Of credit cars and cash

Have fear house owners
Your window is my key
One morning you willl wake
Bereft of luxury

They call me the criminal
But I’m just bold
Not scared to leave you in the cold
Inmates: Ya ya Jim tell em
Jimmy: Oh I will I’ll tell em

They can call me an animal
But when all's told
Who’s the man with all the gold?

Jimmy: All right sing it boys

They call him the criminal
But he’s just bold
He’s not scared to leave you in the cold
He’s the man who gets your gold
He’s not scared to leave you in the cold


38

Sold to the Earth

 

Sitting off in the corner
I see my face in the fire
Red hot and yellow
A fierce cowarding crier

Up in the morning I
I see what remains of the flames
Smoldering fog
I was killed by a log

Done with that torch
I decided to sit on the porch
The yard is silent and dire
and I see my funeral pier

Breakfast comes soon
I take a look in the nutriment room
Yet all that remains is my Jello pudding

I'm all alone
Like a stone in a glacier I'm thrown
Chilly from birth I ask you
When was I sold to the earth?


39

Libel

 

Libel Horrible libel Sober thoughts that fill me with horrible boredom Or Hope in a blind swing to be read with a funny voice. The merry sissy fairies And or My heros Ken Kesey? Cassidy Ken Kesey? Cassidy Oh, where are you now? Kerouacs pal Visions of Christ gone bye. Can you now stand to sigh? You were off Hear your kids Lonely thinking Helpless shrieking Too far off from love Took too much for yourself Who did you worship? Ginsberg in Paris The prophet of love? Buroughs in the Gulf Or the antichrist Your home smoking tea At the core of the dove? Still finding yourself Remember your games Remember your trips Horrible greed Across the country? Was not your life Wasn’t it nice A horrible deed Being so free? In the hearts of the youth But look what you did You’ve planted a seed Inspiring Ken Kesey When they get hungry And look what you did They can’t find the feed Your kids are so hungry They get lost in thinking They’re crying for dad Too far from loves reach Who’s no longer in cali When will we learn Cause he’s driving a bus That it’s useless to teach For a guy named Ken Kesey The Tao That demon The way That merry Take a tip form lao-tze Not hippies but fairies

Part Right

 

Ain’t that right?
Ain’t that right?

Response:
Soo what?

You wanna fight ?
You wanna fight?

Response:
Lets gooo

I don’t care if Jesus gonna get you to heaven
That don’t make you ALL right with me

I don’t care, even if you bought me a chevy
That don’t make you ALL right with me

I’m all right
I’m all right

Response:
Nooo
Your part right
Your part right
Only

I don’t care if Jesus gonna get you to heaven
That don’t make you all right with me

I saw you skeeming on my old lady
So don’t you pull that blasphemy
Blasphemy!


41

Timbuck

 

I shoved my best thing
Under the carpet
But when she goes sweeping
You know she’ll find it

I guess I’ll just have to wait till then
I think that maybe you know the feeling
I have a feeling


42

See Ya Later

 

See ya later Tallahassee
So long Mexico
In a while New York City
Looks like it's time for me to roll

Something keeps convincing me I gotta go
And then I'm left all alone

I've done a whole lotta visiting
Cause there's a whole lot to see
But lately I've been missing
All the friends that I flee

And after years of traveling so free
I find I don't have a home
