An Odd Bet

An Odd Bet

 

Harley Davidson black leather jacket hot blonde holding tight                    

Cruising down the freeway on the way to the bar or a fight                          

My Mustang motor roared I was feeling well under my age                        

Put the pedal to the floor and passed the biker in a rage                               

 

At best it was an odd bet

Life is a chance sometimes you regret

Trick of the thing is to get better yet

At best it was an odd bet

 

I flipped the biker the finger disregarding the danger

The day was already strange and it was just getting stranger

I yelled out the window loud as I could “How does my dust taste!!??!”

I had put down all of my cards the last one a dirty ace

 

At best it was an odd bet

Life is a chance sometimes you regret

Trick of the thing is to get better yet

At best it was an odd bet

 

Ever since the Neanderthal survival was the primary game

A man can always turn the other cheek but that carries shame

The biker was coming up quickly sickly out of his mind

Anger mixed with ample hatred made both of the dude’s eyes blind

 

At best it was an odd bet

Life is a chance sometimes you regret

Trick of the thing is to get better yet

At best it was an odd bet

 

In the great prairies the coyote hunts the sacred buffalo

Life is for the living but please enjoy the show

If things always made sense then logic would be king

I turned up the radio and let Buddy Holly sing

 

So he pulled up next to me cursing some foul words full of jive

I blew him a kiss and proceeded to pull out my forty-five

There is a moment of deepest reason when peace conquers war

In a flash as if in a mad crash I saw the man no more

 

At best it was an odd bet

Life is a chance sometimes you regret

Trick of the thing is to get better yet

At best it was an odd bet

Accident Waiting To Happen

Accident Waiting To Happen

 

Lovely lady in a black negligee                                 

Down on your knees boys that’s how we pray          

Sadly sobbing without any tears                                

Truth is often the worst of your fears                         

                                   

Only volunteers for this mission

An accident waiting to happen

Blind leading the blind’s ambition

An accident waiting to happen

 

She led me by the hand like a stray dog

The penthouse view was merely gray fog

Shall I order wine or let it pass

Come now darling I live life fast

                                   

Only volunteers for this mission

An accident waiting to happen

Blind leading the blind’s ambition

An accident waiting to happen

 

Heart beating my cheating side quickly fell

They promise heaven then give you hell

An angel from a magazine page

I roared like a lion in a cage

                                   

Only volunteers for this mission

An accident waiting to happen

Blind leading the blind’s ambition

An accident waiting to happen

 

The rocket ship was sending cosmonauts to Jupitar

In the void of space they played an acoustic guitar

From millions of miles away Earth was a speck in the sky

Opening her mouth to scream she let go a gentle sigh

 

Caught in that sleepy place where two worlds merge

She had the right looks I had the urge

Fantasy is a secret never told

I woke up alone feeling old

                                   

Only volunteers for this mission

An accident waiting to happen

Blind leading the blind’s ambition

An accident waiting to happen

The Inevitable Disappointment Of Pants

 The Inevitable Disappointment Of Pants

 

Drunk and lonely she was an angel of eleven            

I hadn’t made love since I don’t know when            

Prowling growling the lion was on the hunt              

I decided on a strategic attack from the front

 

Clumsy fingers frustrating my chance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

Our love is a victim of circumstance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

 

“Hey baby come here often” it was my opening line

“I believe in God now cause girl you’re divine”

She giggled and smiled slowly growing her grin

I screamed “Heaven’s doors are open I’m coming in”

 

Clumsy fingers frustrating my chance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

Our love is a victim of circumstance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

 

When the storms are raging and the wounds are fresh

See the vampires circling for some innocent flesh

I’m a pilgrim seeking the land of Shang Li Ra

I love mother and wish that I knew my Pa

 

I woke up alone I guess nothing’s ever new

All the cash in my wallet it was missing too

The Bible says as you reap so shall you sow

There are some secrets that you don’t want to know

 

Clumsy fingers frustrating my chance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

Our love is a victim of circumstance

The inevitable disappointment of pants

I Love You With A Smile

 I Love You With A Smile

 

After the sun sets the desert gets cold                        

There are many regrets when you’re old                   

I could have been the king with the right song          

Fame and fortune don’t go to the strong                    

 

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

That you being you made life worthwhile

Thanks for the hand I held during the trial

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

 

Tyrone comes to church late just like last time

Never mind the bill this one’s on God’s dime

Go inside the words of life I will toss

I love you so much now here take your cross

           

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

That you being you made life worthwhile

Thanks for the hand I held during the trial

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

 

The devil’s in the pulpit preaching a storm

He’ll promise you heaven if you conform

All the little fascists with shiny boots

The lawyers and bankers are in cahoots

 

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

That you being you made life worthwhile

Thanks for the hand I held during the trial

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

 

A long time ago I stopped writing songs about true love

I once searched the Earth for an angel now I look above

I think I’ll put Erika in the song to make Evan happy

I don’t know what you call the new music but it’s snappy

 

The best thing is that we can say yes or no

But the sun will rise and the wind will blow

I’m growing my hair long in rebellion

Even the righteous have their moments of sin

 

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

That you being you made life worthwhile

Thanks for the hand I held during the trial

Did I ever say I love you with a smile

There Must Be Another Way

 There Must Be Another Way

 

Well nine to five are you really alive             

I wish the dinosaurs had survived                  

I’d get a T Rex to devour my boss                 

That wouldn’t be a terrible loss                     

 

I wake up in the morning every day

There must be another way

I echo the words the poet’s say

There must be another way

 

Izzy the spaceman was in a dizzy mood

I’d like to do planet Earth some good

Nuclear fusion would help them in their toil

But all the leaders control by oil

 

I wake up in the morning every day

There must be another way

I echo the words the poet’s say

There must be another way

 

I remember Adam Bomb he wasn’t really that cool

Just another face in the yearbook back from high school

Sorry to say the other day Adam went to meet the Lord

Why is it we never think hell’s the eternal reward?

 

I read the Bible can you say it again?

From Genesis one to Revelation’s amen

Straight and narrow is the path we must find

All others they’re the blind following the blind

 

I wake up in the morning every day

There must be another way

I echo the words the poet’s say

There must be another way

 

There is a cross an emblem of dark doom

Death is like fire they both consume

The grave is empty it’s not a lie

The grave is empty and love’s the reason why

 

I wake up in the morning every day

There must be another way

I echo the words the poet’s say

There must be another way

I’m Coming Home

I’m Coming Home

 

Goodbyes are sad so Grace silently slipped away

Searching for dreams of eternal sunny days

Somewhere out there in this crazy world of ours

Grace would find her place among heaven’s stars

 

And in guarded moments all alone

A voice whispered I’m coming home

Those were the best times I’ve ever known

Maybe someday I’m coming home

 

Hustling bustling serving cold beers to old men

Lost in the daze of do you remember when

Honest work always comes with an honest price

So unhappy inside came the same advice

 

And in guarded moments all alone

A voice whispered I’m coming home

Those were the best times I’ve ever known

Maybe someday I’m coming home

 

Another town another year chasing those shadows

If she had wings she’d have gone where the wind blows

One day she looked in the mirror in surprise

It was finally time to face those wicked lies

 

And in guarded moments all alone

A voice whispered I’m coming home

Those were the best times I’ve ever known

Maybe someday I’m coming home

 

She had read the story of the prodigal son

But it wasn’t the same thing that’s she’d done

Forgiveness truth be told takes a life time

And some words well sadly they never rhyme

 

What would she say would she scream or maybe cry

Could she confront the evil behind the lie

The taxi was driving down familiar roads

Grace had an iron cross such a heavy load

 

And in guarded moments all alone

A voice whispered I’m coming home

Those were the best times I’ve ever known

Maybe someday I’m coming home

Silly Suze

 Silly Suze

 

Back in the olden days when the sky above was still blue    

When love was a word that was righteous and true               

There was a folk singer who blew in like the wind               

He cried I come from the crossroads born in sin                    

 

Silly Suze gives sloppy kisses of truth

What do you expect from a youth

Silly Suze she’s going all the way

Silly Suze is waiting for Judgment Day

 

In sixty-seven a gift from heaven touched down in June

Apollo tried while Aphrodite cried at the moon

Three chords with some clever words can be turned to gold

On the auction block in the name of rock sold

 

Silly Suze gives sloppy kisses of truth

What do you expect from a youth

Silly Suze she’s going all the way

Silly Suze is waiting for Judgment Day

 

Well the struggle goes on it’s really a fight against lies

If you can’t sell records there’s other merchandise

Say hey Willie May what happened to your soul

In the Hard Rock Café it paid for my toll

 

Silly Suze gives sloppy kisses of truth

What do you expect from a youth

Silly Suze she’s going all the way

Silly Suze is waiting for Judgment Day

 

Lawyers in lust can redeem on a technicality

Vegas or bust we’re redefining reality

Every mad man is buying a machine gun

You reap as you sow so shall it be done

 

So many faces the mirror shows a haunted stranger

They tried to warn you not to ignore the danger

We’re all dealt cards you got three jokers and two queens

The rage of the age now unknown to the teens

 

Silly Suze gives sloppy kisses of truth

What do you expect from a youth

Silly Suze she’s going all the way

Silly Suze is waiting for Judgment Day
