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
