Lady Kay

 Lady Kay

 

Hey Lady Kay your headlights burn me through the night

I don’t pray I’ll just say I’m feeling all right

A boat in motion on the ocean in sweetest devotion

If your fire has more desire I’ll second the notion

 

Picture pose Lady Kay you’re the show

What we want we all know

Today Lady Kay you’re the star

Tomorrow we don’t know who you are

 

Smile even if you gotta fake it this is fiction after all

You signed on the line you’re mine if you don’t recall

Five purple moons shining in the distant horizon

Laughing drinking Champaign with the whisky cryin’

 

Picture pose Lady Kay you’re the show

What we want we all know

Today Lady Kay you’re the star

Tomorrow we don’t know who you are

 

Diamond studs in your ears pearls dangle about your neck

In your royal presence we give you utmost respect

But all alone with Little Willie we cry and moan

You’re the queen of the scene come down from your throne

 

Picture pose Lady Kay you’re the show

What we want we all know

Today Lady Kay you’re the star

Tomorrow we don’t know who you are

 

And God has His will but we’re unsure

Sex is good but sex is a war

Pills give thrills you want more

We’ve walked this road long before

 

Surrender is sweet and there’s victory in defeat

Come into the room before the boom I’ll lick your feet

And in the still of the moment tears flow insane

Money fools rule the world but the rich are vain

 

Picture pose Lady Kay you’re the show

What we want we all know

Today Lady Kay you’re the star

Tomorrow we don’t know who you are

And So Goes The Song

 And So Goes The Song

 

I have chests of treasures and you’re the key            

Gone with the wind in the end love’s free     

Ashes of Gomorrah a story to be told                        

It ain’t the winning hand if you fold              

 

And so goes the song

Sing it loud sing it strong

We’re here we all belong

And so goes the song

 

On Mulberry Street we don’t lock the doors

A soldier of fortune fought many wars

The greatest battle always within the mind

Oh wounded warrior strive to be kind

 

And so goes the song

Sing it loud sing it strong

We’re here we all belong

And so goes the song

 

She’s a pop star he plays rhythm guitar

Nobody really knows who you are

A sultry voice but the lyrics are mine

Say hey Willie May this is my line

 

And so goes the song

Sing it loud sing it strong

We’re here we all belong

And so goes the song

 

Brenda Bops leaves the city but never the hood

Evil is evil and evil good sir is never good

In the scheme of the dream love is misunderstood

If you’re offering me forever I would

 

Jeff Walker is a talker on the scene

With his art and his heart caught between

Nashville skyline looks fine in a rosy sunrise

To see the beauty open your eyes

 

And so goes the song

Sing it loud sing it strong

We’re here we all belong

And so goes the song

All That Matters

 All That Matters

 

Mathew and I went in the woods hunting frogs                                

We found adventure seeking what’s under logs                                

The truth of our youth caressed in nature’s breast                            

We were too young to know how much we were blessed                 

 

All that matters was the love we shared

All that matters was that we cared

Take your temptations of silver and gold

All that matters are the things you can’t hold

 

Schoolyard bullies the wicked lessons of high school

All them Christians not knowing the golden rule

Life was confusing I didn’t even know I was lost

The sun shined brightly living in a land of frost

 

All that matters was the love we shared

All that matters was that we cared

Take your temptations of silver and gold

All that matters are the things you can’t hold

 

Off to college because it was the thing to do

I learned my lessons but I hadn’t a clue

I burned so I turned to an artificial high

You couldn’t call it heaven but I reached the sky

 

All that matters was the love we shared

All that matters was that we cared

Take your temptations of silver and gold

All that matters are the things you can’t hold

 

The psychiatric institute is a mean machine

To keep control they shoot you up with Thorazine

Innocent of crime doing time against my will

Everything I cherished perished in the kill

 

Help me Jesus I’m a stranger in a strange land

In the suffering I began to understand

This is the land of the living full of the damned

But the choice is mine the wheel turns by my hand

 

All that matters was the love we shared

All that matters was that we cared

Take your temptations of silver and gold

All that matters are the things you can’t hold

Wednesday

 Wednesday

 

I heard John Lennon on the radio I cried

I saw Jesus on the cruel cross crucified

Satan preaching in the pulpit he lied

Folk singer singing ringing don’t be denied

 

On Wednesday afternoon the rent is due

Wednesday morning dreams come true

Seven days a week I confess I love you

But on Wednesday the sky is blue

 

In Frisco they banned all disco down in the hood

Ken Brown the clown declared that it ain’t no good

I need a miracle but don’t we all

Sitting on the chair deep in prayer give me a call

 

On Wednesday afternoon the rent is due

Wednesday morning dreams come true

Seven days a week I confess I love you

But on Wednesday the sky is blue

 

Serial killers most of them wearing gold stars

Crude oil is the spoil we need gas to fuel our cars

Flashing red lights the death car zooms on by

License insurance registration tell a lie

 

On Wednesday afternoon the rent is due

Wednesday morning dreams come true

Seven days a week I confess I love you

But on Wednesday the sky is blue

 

The fellow in banana yellow screams mellow out

I believe in the Bible but I still got my doubt

Imagine there really was a working-class hero

Nero fiddling around I have found digits add to zero

 

Laying in the casket maybe you found peace at last

The days grind by long but the years vanish fast

I think of the billions now but a number

Children sin while their parents are deep in slumber

 

On Wednesday afternoon the rent is due

Wednesday morning dreams come true

Seven days a week I confess I love you

But on Wednesday the sky is blue

Little People

 

It was a sunny day with the sun shining in the sky               

In her funny way we were dining on apple pie                      

Fluffy white clouds passed they were blown by the breeze  

I kissed her and then I missed her she was a tease                

 

Little people with little talk

I laugh when little people walk

See the vampire see him stalk

Little people with little talk

 

It was a sunny day I think I said that just before

In her funny way we were cheering on the war

Grizzly black clouds passed they were blown by death

To avoid the smell from hell I went and held my breath

 

Little people with little talk

I laugh when little people walk

See the vampire see him stalk

Little people with little talk

 

It was a moonless night with dark terrors full of fright

We rolled in the void annoyed by an ugly sight

A green dragon was flying wagging his tail

Some people are meant to succeed others doomed to fail

 

Little people with little talk

I laugh when little people walk

See the vampire see him stalk

Little people with little talk

 

Loose lips there was a total eclipse caused by the moon

Making love under the stars above our climax too soon

With a roar the flying behemoth soared into the abyss

Little people they got a little of that they got a little of this

 

It was a sunny day you okay it’s a sunny day?

On our knees in a funny way trying to humbly pray

We have answers we have questions they don’t match

Gone fishing in the wishing well there’s nothing to catch

 

Little people with little talk

I laugh when little people walk

See the vampire see him stalk

Little people with little talk

Unforgettable Fire

 Unforgettable Fire

 

Gentle embers burn inside a circle of bricks                    

Ancient wizard pulls from his bag of tricks                      

A deck of cards everyone the queen of hearts                            

So we go with the flow deep in the arts                   

 

Unforgettable fire it burns till the day is done

Unforgettable fire this is God’s sun

Our infinite journey it has only begun

Unforgettable fire we shall overcome

 

Camera flash we pay the ladies off with cash

Sipping our fine wine sometimes smoking hash

Four vagabonds in room eight and a half

I think of the past and I have to laugh

 

Unforgettable fire it burns till the day is done

Unforgettable fire this is God’s sun

Our infinite journey it has only begun

Unforgettable fire we shall overcome

 

An endless quest there’s no rest in the test

God don’t want perfection merely your best

I see Jesus in the pain of stain glass glory

If U2 rebel you’ll share the story

 

Unforgettable fire it burns till the day is done

Unforgettable fire this is God’s sun

Our infinite journey it has only begun

Unforgettable fire we shall overcome

 

Leo roars anticipating the coming of the dawn

In the blink of an eye empires are gone

A rock cut without the use of human hands

Read the Apocalypse no one truly understands

 

Pop singer with a pop song but there’s more

Pop singer protesting against endless war

From a forgotten time a rhyme that’s pure

Don’t bother knocking sir walk through the door

 

Unforgettable fire it burns till the day is done

Unforgettable fire this is God’s sun

Our infinite journey it has only begun

Unforgettable fire we shall overcome

No Dollar Bill

 

No Dollar Bill

 

Sweet Jesus singing the blues with brown skin                         

Pale man says the white you is coming again                            

Mother Mary singing O sweet child of mine                             

Sister Rosetta Tharpe she’s an angel divine                               

 

I got rhythm I got thrill

Ain’t got no dollar bill

I gotta swallow the pill

Ain’t got no dollar bill

 

We forget what we are told not to learn

The Beatles weren’t the first records to burn

Down in Africa the pyramids stand tall

Who invented calculus I just can’t recall

 

I got rhythm I got thrill

Ain’t got no dollar bill

I gotta swallow the pill

Ain’t got no dollar bill

 

Back to the blues and the old auction block

Tell me all the people who invented rock

An ugly inconvenient truth lie to the youth

Do you know the real story about John Wilkes Booth?

 

I got rhythm I got thrill

Ain’t got no dollar bill

I gotta swallow the pill

Ain’t got no dollar bill

 

Put your hand on the television I’ll cure your acne

Send me cash and hash in order to thank me

The loneliness of a child isolated and hated

The truth of the church is something I debated

 

Rock and Roll can’t save but neither do you

Jimmy Swaggart paid his whore I know it’s true

There are miserable mysteries I can’t explain

We can go dancing romancing in the purple rain

 

I got rhythm I got thrill

Ain’t got no dollar bill

I gotta swallow the pill

Ain’t got no dollar bill
