Noah

 Noah

 

He’s the fiery skies on the final fourth of July                      

A soldier of fortune refusing orders to die                             

Thunder explodes as jet bombers count the cost                   

Fearing hearing the rhythms of a nuclear holocaust              

 

None other than Noah God’s drummer

A flash of fire in forever’s summer

Playing on garbage cans he’s an overcomer

That’s the man called Noah God’s drummer

 

Rachel screams “Boy in this life hold fast to your dreams”

I got a book of truth but it ain’t what it seems

Keep on wailing never failing in the fight

Busting trusting in the power of music to set all things right

 

None other than Noah God’s drummer

A flash of fire in forever’s summer

Playing on garbage cans he’s an overcomer

That’s the man called Noah God’s drummer

 

Noah is running with the wolves howling at the moon

They’ve been saying the Second Coming’s real soon

And Noah complains that he’s fresh out of rain

Booming consuming God says I got fire and I won’t refrain

 

None other than Noah God’s drummer

A flash of fire in forever’s summer

Playing on garbage cans he’s an overcomer

That’s the man called Noah God’s drummer

 

What’ s a boy to do in this crazy mixed-up world

Except join a rock and roll band and love a girl

Keep the beat Noah all eyes are fixed in a gaze

I pray for you child for some better days

 

Under a raging Moon the good always die too young

There are too many songs that are left unsung

Start with your heart and walk down the straight trail

Tapping rapping if you try and reach high you cannot fail

 

None other than Noah God’s drummer

A flash of fire in forever’s summer

Playing on garbage cans he’s an overcomer

That’s the man called Noah God’s drummer

Evan The Engineer

Evan The Engineer

 

It was the fall of twenty twenty four

Wild winds were wailing woes of world war

Billionaires buzzed busting unions for a buck

Down in Reno town there was a run of bad luck

 

Evan the engineer

A man without fears

Proficient with gears

Wise beyond his years

Evan the engineer

 

Jesus sat on the avenue holding a cardboard sign

“I’ll work for food” was the solitary line

Wes was in the kitchen cooking sermons of chicken

Ethan mused “Ah I see the plot thicken”

 

Evan the engineer

A man without fears

Proficient with gears

Wise beyond his years

Evan the engineer

 

False prophets proclaimed predictions of pure hate

All is fine be mine fill the collection plate

Mother Marlene had a dream of endless names

Faith without deeds is death read the book of James

 

Evan the engineer

A man without fears

Proficient with gears

Wise beyond his years

Evan the engineer

 

The moral of the story is give God the glory

Preach sermons of truth but try not to bore me

Evan invented a glorious machine of truth

But alas as in the past they ignore the youth

 

In my crystal ball I look into tomorrow

Mary never sleeps as she weeps with sorrow

Hand in hand singing with the Salvation Army Band

An endless rendition of the sin of the damned

 

Evan the engineer

A man without fears

Proficient with gears

Wise beyond his years

Evan the engineer

Angel

 To Robert and Angel. May God bless you with many happy years!

Angel

 

Stretch your wings baby cause we’re gonna fly        

You can only make it if you give a try                       

Poets and dreamers they know the reason why         

Stretch your wings baby it’s do or die                                   

 

Hey Angel love is in your smile

A lifetime is only a short while

Hey Angel forever lover and friend

To somewhere beyond the end

 

Heaven sweet baby is when I’m with you

I woke up in a dream that you made true

No more crying we’re flying in skies blue

To learn the universe every single clue

 

Hey Angel love is in your smile

A lifetime is only a short while

Hey Angel forever lover and friend

To somewhere beyond the end

 

We may have rain my beautiful wife

But remember the waters are the source of life

I may get angry and talk like a fool

Still in my heart queen is the throne you rule

 

Hey Angel love is in your smile

A lifetime is only a short while

Hey Angel forever lover and friend

To somewhere beyond the end

 

I’ve got my guitar I’m going to play a happy song

I’ll share the words of my life so you can sing along

May the good Lord bless us in the way only He can

I’m so happy His wisdom put an Angel in my plan

 

One day in tomorrow we’ll be old and gray

The glory of our story we can’t yet say

I promise you I’ll do my best and more

Rest easy never leave me be secure

Hey Angel love is in your smile

A lifetime is only a short while

Hey Angel forever lover and friend

To somewhere beyond the end

October

 October

I wasn’t going to write this song

I had fears of everything wrong

Perhaps the melody wouldn’t be sweet

Or the rhythm would miss a beat

 

You were a tramp in red in September

You whore in orange in October

Hey pumpkin you’re a tasty slice

There lingers a scent of sweet spice

 

Walter was born on Columbus day

My brother walked in a wicked way

He got nice the day before he died

The power of Love can’t be denied

 

You were a tramp in red in September

You whore in orange in October

Hey pumpkin you’re a tasty slice

There lingers a scent of sweet spice

 

Dementia is sweet Sylvia’s disease

On my knees pleading to God please

But the silence leaves me in wonder

Unless there’s voice inside the thunder

 

You were a tramp in red in September

You whore in orange in October

Hey pumpkin you’re a tasty slice

There lingers a scent of sweet spice

 

I’m going back to my poetry I want to change the world

I’m leaving the pornography gonna get me a real girl

Hypocrites are circling like vultures in harvest time

Here comes the October reaper death can do no crime

 

I gently kiss your cheek you’re sleeping

I say with a sigh She’s worth keeping

Fasten the seat belts the road gets bumpy

I’d wake you but you’d become grumpy

 

You were a tramp in red in September

You whore in orange in October

Hey pumpkin you’re a tasty slice

There lingers a scent of sweet spice

Mirage

Mirage

 

This song is a poor song been singing it my whole life long

I’ve been chasing a dream but somewhere it all went wrong

Visited Vegas looking to win the ultimate score

Woke up drunk after being robbed by some second-string whore

 

Money is a mirage make believe

As you give so shall you receive

Mirages lurk on the distant horizon

You only meet them when you’re dyin’

 

Hear my melody I’m wondering if you could set me free

You see somebody put me in chains and they took the key

I was rocking in Rome trying to visit the Pope at his home

But the priest at the feast declared I was an unknown

 

Religion is a mirage make believe

As you give so shall you receive

Mirages lurk on the distant horizon

You only meet them when you’re dyin’

 

These words are empty words I never found that true love

I searched the valleys low and climbed the mountains above

I once found a doll whom I could call my very best friend

She smiled sweetly and said it completely had to end

 

Love is a mirage make believe

As you give so shall you receive

Mirages lurk on the distant horizon

You only meet them when you’re dyin’

 

I heard Budha proclaim this place was all an illusion

But those orange clad monks drove me to confusion

The Dali Lama stays in the finest of suites

And sits with kings and queens while he eats

 

I wrote my story of glory I’d lay it before you strong

But the publisher gave a rejection citing it was too long

I am a lonesome poet reciting on the corner with a sign

I’ll rhyme for food was my most famous last line

 

Life is a mirage make believe

As you give so shall you receive

Mirages lurk on the distant horizon

You only meet them when you’re dyin’

Dreams

Dreams

 

I guess I must confess it was Sleeping Beauty                      

Or bright Snow White such a delightful cutie                       

I was young and the big screen cartoons seemed real           

How could they be wrong please tell me what’s the deal?    

 

My dreams never came true how about you?

I was searching for a woman wild and true

Who would love me the whole night through

Dreams are only for the lucky few

 

Carol Gay in her day fought for the working poor

She stood for the union and against the war

Looking fine on the picket line with her sign

At last Carol has passed to meet the divine

 

My dreams never came true how about you?

I was searching for a woman wild and true

Who would love me the whole night through

Dreams are only for the lucky few

 

In the mansion on the hill there’s a huge heating bill

White collared priests in black never do God’s will

Jesus said the right path was narrow and straight

Not in heaven at fifty-seven still forsaking hate

 

My dreams never came true how about you?

I was searching for a woman wild and true

Who would love me the whole night through

Dreams are only for the lucky few

 

They call it the American dream don’t tell the Sioux

If you ain’t on top don’t stop until you get the view

Chasing nothing wake up from the loveless fantasy

We don’t need money honey just come dance with me

 

On the turntable the record sweetly spins

Come take my hand understand nobody wins

Come hear Marvin Gay singing What’s Going On

A crash in a midnight flash and this life’s gone

 

My dreams never came true how about you?

I was searching for a woman wild and true

Who would love me the whole night through

Dreams are only for the lucky few

Wild

Wild

 

Captain Keith emerged from underneath late in the game                

A fly by night dentist pulled his teeth passing the blame                  

The x-rays these days are fuzzy at best I must confess                     

Besides he who hides in the shade was made to transgress               

 

The wind and the rain will never be reconciled

And the storm of wonder will thunder wild

In vain the rain washes the unborn child

God smiled as the four horses ran wild

 

In Galilee a carpenter was set free early in His youth

His song was strong drenched in the eternal truth

He cast out screaming demons who all knew the deal

I grieve because its so hard to believe that it was real

 

The wind and the rain will never be reconciled

And the storm of wonder will thunder wild

In vain the rain washes the unborn child

God smiled as the four horses ran wild

 

In the Promised Land the Semite fights throwing rocks

Captain Keith curses the New Kids and their old socks

Jesus preaches Sell all that you have and give to the poor

The Christians don’t listen and wage perpetual war

 

The wind and the rain will never be reconciled

And the storm of wonder will thunder wild

In vain the rain washes the unborn child

God smiled as the four horses ran wild

 

On the side without any pride at the topless bar

Jill was a porn star who played the electric guitar

With a little fame she was ahead of the game

She could cry and look God in the eye with no shame

 

Mary Magdalin washed the Lord’s feet with perfume

The religious leaders are rushing to their doom

Judas whispered in Keith’s ear a joke about smoking bones

But it was high flying Brian who formed the Rolling Stones

 

The wind and the rain will never be reconciled

And the storm of wonder will thunder wild

In vain the rain washes the unborn child

God smiled as the four horses ran wild

Endless Ambition

 Endless Ambition

 FAWM  # 29 

Just in and she got up and walked out the door

Read the bulletin she ain’t working here no more

Got a job with the city looking pretty

Good pay he says but Lord ain’t it a pity

 

Endless ambition find it all around

Endless ambition dig that funky sound

We buried Joyce today God forgive her sin

She was a good woman endless ambition

 

We’re multiplying life’s an exponential function

Texas engineers building jet bombers for destruction

Here I am stuck on level three fighting a troll

Look Jack he got a big sack hope it’s full of gold

 

Endless ambition find it all around

Endless ambition dig that funky sound

We buried Joyce today God forgive her sin

She was a good woman endless ambition

 

I would have sold out but they said you’re asking for too much

The price on the bill if you will was a good woman with tender touch

Joyce is taking a tour of those mansions of glory

Heaven and hell but do you know the real story?

 

Little angels slowly losing their innocence

Sophie’s crying because life makes no sense

I want to touch their souls show them love

Cryptic Egyptian fractions I’m thinking of

 

Endless ambition find it all around

Endless ambition dig that funky sound

We buried Joyce today God forgive her sin

She was a good woman endless ambition

 

At the repass the woman elder had zero class

Reciting banal poetry oh Lord let me pass

Meanwhile with a smile zero the hero scores

It’s a simple equation of money attracts whores.

 

Endless ambition find it all around

Endless ambition dig that funky sound

We buried Joyce today God forgive her sin

She was a good woman endless ambition

I’m Heading Back To Madrid

I’m Heading Back To Madrid

FAWM # 28

Drunk at a bull fight on a Saturday night                              

Picasso was a pilgrim in search of holy light                         

Say no thanks to Franco too much blood spilled                   

The matador was tossed in the air what a thrill                     

 

I’m heading back to Madrid

Just like my daddy did

I got a small ego and a giant id

I’m heading back to Madrid

 

Sipping on a beer slipping to somewhere clear

It’s a new age world inflicting original fear

The swastika is being recreated

I wear a gold cross remembering He was hated

 

I’m heading back to Madrid

Just like my daddy did

I got a small ego and a giant id

I’m heading back to Madrid

 

Jet black hair a body magical as Spain

Twas love at first sight do I really have to explain

Her name was Maria or so she did tell

We shared the night with a delight of a rebel yell

 

I’m heading back to Madrid

Just like my daddy did

I got a small ego and a giant id

I’m heading back to Madrid

 

I launched an armada of Mariachis bands

To sail the high seas to distant lands

In Mexico City pretty girls dance the dance

And me and Maria we were taking a chance

 

Smuggling guns selling to the highest price

Maria bit the forbidden fruit no more paradise

I’m a sucker and fool hitting the high

No doubt the only way out is to up and die

 

I’m heading back to Madrid

Just like my daddy did

I got a small ego and a giant id

I’m heading back to Madrid

Barbara

Barbara

FAWM # 27 

Barbara was a friend with golden hair

Quick with a smile quicker with a prayer

We’d walk the village to the bagel shop

Two losers finding their way to the top

 

We were more than a little crazy

There was always Jesus to save me

And if the good Lord couldn’t do the task

There was always Barabra to ask

 

Life fills popping pills curing ills

Sometimes a movie sometimes stills

What did Rick do on your wedding night

Oh Barbara you know that wasn’t right

 

We were more than a little crazy

There was always Jesus to save me

And if the good Lord couldn’t do the task

There was always Barabra to ask

 

Me and Grant smoking cigarettes

Singing his songs without regrets

Stories of times from way back when

With promises of tomorrow and heaven

 

We were more than a little crazy

There was always Jesus to save me

And if the good Lord couldn’t do the task

There was always Barabra to ask

 

Life over and I’m only twenty one years old

Too much rebellion too much doing as I was told

There were three Jennifers and none of them cool

We made our own laws but we had no rules

 

It’s almost seven in the morning day break

Sometimes life gives more than you can take

I remember your happy mother on the phone

So glad to say Barbara has gone home

 

We were more than a little crazy

There was always Jesus to save me

And if the good Lord couldn’t do the task

There was always Barabra to ask

Strong Enough To Be Gentle

 

Strong Enough To Be Gentle

FAWM # 26

Paul Bunyan kicked back with Babe the Blue Ox

They both had muscles like rocks on more rocks

At night they would drink ale and tell tall tales of glory

And this song here is just another story

 

Are you strong enough to be gentle

Grace to face the weak and temperamental

The battle fought is spiritual and mental

Are you strong enough to be gentle

 

Well Paul and Babe met up with John Henry on the trail

When along came Johnny Appleseed with a pail

Let’s plant these seeds for the children’s children

From up on high in the sky God gave an Amen!

 

Are you strong enough to be gentle

Grace to face the weak and temperamental

The battle fought is spiritual and mental

Are you strong enough to be gentle

 

Well Crazy Horse came riding by a natural hero true

He weeps when the skies are gray and when they’re blue

He said Paul why did the pale face do this evil deed

Paul sighed and cried it was all because of greed

 

Are you strong enough to be gentle

Grace to face the weak and temperamental

The battle fought is spiritual and mental

Are you strong enough to be gentle

 

Myths of madness like Judas’s treacherous kiss

Tyrants with iron brains banishing banal bliss

Hey Paul here’s the call freedom’s facing death

A huff and a puff the dragon breathes his breath

 

On the Great Plains they’re singing songs of romance

On the reservation the Hopi are sharing their dance

Paul answered the call by turning the other cheek

Strong enough to be gentle and blessed are the meek

 

Are you strong enough to be gentle

Grace to face the weak and temperamental

The battle fought is spiritual and mental

Are you strong enough to be gentle

The Holy Land Ain’t Holy No More

 The Holy Land Ain’t Holy No More

FAWM # 25 

Hell on Earth

Buying weapons

Get your money’s worth

Are these god’s lessons?

Genocide

My how you lied

 

In Jerusalem there’s constant war

The holy land ain’t holy no more

Pigs lusting for more and more

The holy land ain’t holy no more

 

A two thousand pound bomb

Dropped on a mom

Thousands of children slain

And you explain

Self defense

It makes zero sense

 

In Jerusalem there’s constant war

The holy land ain’t holy no more

Pigs lusting for more and more

The holy land ain’t holy no more

Turn the other cheek

Blessed are the meek

Listen before you speak

But you are weak

All virtue is lost

In this new holocaust

 

In Jerusalem there’s constant war

The holy land ain’t holy no more

Pigs lusting for more and more

The holy land ain’t holy no more

 

On lonely Calvary they crucified the messiah

If they tell you different they’re a liar

Forgive them for they know no what they do

Those words are still ringing true

Just In Case The Generator Explodes

 Just In Case The Generator Explodes

FAWM # 24 

I could have been an engineer singing endless blues

But I couldn’t face my fears and ran to the drugs and booze

Equations of salvation brilliant minds to abuse

We’re getting ready for the next war and we don’t want to lose

 

I’m sitting by the fire writing romantic odes

Just in case the generator explodes

Down in Galveston they’re receiving illegal loads

Just in case the generator explodes

 

Pop singers producing mediocre music just to sell

She’s wearing seducing clothes we all can tell

Her manager wears pink suits like a pimp on the run

Making money honey well to him its great fun

 

I’m sitting by the fire writing romantic odes

Just in case the generator explodes

Down in Galveston they’re receiving illegal loads

Just in case the generator explodes

 

Somewhere riding the great plains is the ghost of Crazy Horse

Things were bad way back when and now they are worse

The Mississippi River is weeping for her lost

We never talk about the American holocaust

 

I’m sitting by the fire writing romantic odes

Just in case the generator explodes

Down in Galveston they’re receiving illegal loads

Just in case the generator explodes

 

And should I buy the two compendiums

You got God’s or the devil’s kingdoms

One is truth the other only lies

Make your choice and be wise

 

One and one is two and that is basically true

The straight and narrow necessitates only a few

Ron’s soon to call to tell me the events of the day

In the end past the final bend we all exit the same way

 

I’m sitting by the fire writing romantic odes

Just in case the generator explodes

Down in Galveston they’re receiving illegal loads

Just in case the generator explodes

Daedalus

 Daedalus

FAWM # 23 

Hey Daedalus your black shoes are shiny but you got holes in your soles

And your Mercedes Benz don’t drive it just sort of rolls

Women well you got lovely ladies of every kind

But a good one with an honest tongue they’re so hard to find

 

Daedalus tell me what you gonna do

When daddy writes his will and it don’t include you

Look up Daedalus the sky is blue

You reap what your sow those words are true

 

If you meet the green dragon in the dungeon best give him all your gold

Dress fine march in line good fascists do what they are told

Sipping Champaign in vain still you complain about the rain

I could tell you the truth but you won’t let me explain

 

Daedalus tell me what you gonna do

When daddy writes his will and it don’t include you

Look up Daedalus the sky is blue

You reap what your sow those words are true

 

Front row at the show but you’re upset you’re not back stage

Like a simmering pot of soup you’re in a constant rage

Oh Daedalus we’re told to look out for number one

But if you do when the night comes you’ll be all alone

 

Daedalus tell me what you gonna do

When daddy writes his will and it don’t include you

Look up Daedalus the sky is blue

You reap what your sow those words are true

 

Playing funky sax you can relax

You heard a rumor of Happy Jack

Daedalus don’t worry I got your back

The truth is different from the facts

 

Winter comes with blasé doldrums year after year

We are intimate strangers close but yet never near

The Earth keeps spinning the devil’s grinning evil is winning

But don’t worry Casey’s at bat in the final inning

 

Daedalus tell me what you gonna d

When daddy writes his will and it don’t include you

Look up Daedalus the sky is blue

You reap what your sow those words are true

Forehead Joy

Forehead Joy

 FAWM  # 22

In the gold of dawn I hear heaven’s voice

But copper sir is my only choice

Rough and tumble rowdy rumble

I walk the straight path but I stumble

 

I salute you man, woman, girl and boy

A celebration of forehead joy

I seek to conquer but not destroy

A sensation called forehead joy

 

It’s late my eyelids are heavy like lead

I should be sleeping in my bed

But when the muse hits you ride

When the words roll you don’t hide

 

I salute you man, woman, girl and boy

A celebration of forehead joy

I seek to conquer but not destroy

A sensation called forehead joy

 

Teresa is working on Jordan’s Shore

No matter the pay I say you want more

If only Bob Dylan gave up the smokes

If only Walter Maxwell had no jokes

 

I salute you man, woman, girl and boy

A celebration of forehead joy

I seek to conquer but not destroy

A sensation called forehead joy

 

And the music plays echoing through the universe

For every blessing there’s an equal opposite curse

Pam died of cancer she never called to say goodbye

Evil Don loves his money in hellfire he will fry

 

Cryptic messages the market went bull

America the land of the free wicked and cruel

The pauper calls the billionaire a fool

I believe and receive a righteous rule

 

I salute you man, woman, girl and boy

A celebration of forehead joy

I seek to conquer but not destroy

A sensation called forehead joy
