Beto’s On The Road Again

Beto’s On The Road Again

 

The graffiti screamed home’s where you want to be                         

We live a lifetime but some are never free                                        

It’s east to west and then going north to south                                  

You’re the king of the hill but then there’s the doubt                        

 

Beto’s on the road again

And the whole church said amen

I swear one day’s he’s coming again

Until then… Beto’s on the road again

 

You’ve never lived until that Colorado high

Or gazed west to see where the sea meets the sky

Manifest destiny upsets me it’s a lie

A deep dark greed was the honest reason why

 

Beto’s on the road again

And the whole church said amen

I swear one day’s he’s coming again

Until then… Beto’s on the road again

 

In Psalm nineteen the heaven’s they testify

It’s a miracle each time you see a bird fly

Beto’s grooving moving taking in the scene

Never surrender and remember where you’ve been

 

Beto’s on the road again

And the whole church said amen

I swear one day’s he’s coming again

Until then… Beto’s on the road again

 

Don’t let my ukulele fail me there’s a song in my bones

I may not be the Beatles but I’m one up on the Stones

Deep in the forest the wild life meets in solidarity

If they didn’t have their guns they wouldn’t even scare me

 

Around the turn may we all learn something true

The fire will burn you but does that concern you

Crazy Horse rides the plains a ghost of the man

The very best things in life we never do plan

 

Beto’s on the road again

And the whole church said amen

I swear one day’s he’s coming again

Until then… Beto’s on the road again

Ashes

 Ashes

 

Queen Mary sat on a throne built on the blood of the slain                           

She’s a merry maiden plucking her mustache in vain                                               

Mary rode with the Joker looking for car crashes                                         

Kingdoms rise high to the skies only fading to ashes                                    

 

After the fire the ashes remain

Silent dust monuments to pain

Ashes to ashes dust to dust

Love is real ashes are lust

 

On route eighty between Friso and New York City

Our starlet without regret was hitchhiking pretty

The joker growled and pointed his long bony finger

It was a moment caught in time forever to linger

 

After the fire the ashes remain

Silent dust monuments to pain

Ashes to ashes dust to dust

Love is real ashes are lust

 

The out of luck truckers were stuck in a traffic jam

None of them loved Mary nor did they give a damn

But Lady Lace a refugee from deep outer space

Won the hearts of the blue-collar men with style and grace

 

After the fire the ashes remain

Silent dust monuments to pain

Ashes to ashes dust to dust

Love is real ashes are lust

 

Flags flying high while patriots are asking why they kill or die

A little R&R from hell the soldiers can tell truth from a lie

Alone on her throne of stone Mary demands that you kiss her ring

Lady Lace so out of place knows not what gift she should bring

 

The thermonuclear device burned in hot flashes

All that remained next to nuclear rain was ashes

Mary’s throne melted like mercurial avant-garde waves

Now the cockroaches rule supreme and we as fools are slaves

 

After the fire the ashes remain

Silent dust monuments to pain

Ashes to ashes dust to dust

Love is real ashes are lust

A Trillion Ways

A Trillion Ways

 

Can you pick between rainbows and moonbeams     

Between hot fantasy and sacred dreams                    

When the odds are high I know just to do                 

I take a moment and focus on you                             

 

There are a trillion ways they define eternity

I only have one love that’s what you mean to me

There are a trillion ways from here to infinity

I want to live all of my days just you and me

 

This crazy old Earth’s spinning round and round

On the train to glory that’s where we’re bound

Blow that holy whistle let church bells chime

Your heart sings sweet songs drenched in perfect rhyme

 

There are a trillion ways they define eternity

I only have one love that’s what you mean to me

There are a trillion ways from here to infinity

I want to live all of my days just you and me

 

Vultures circle the demons of doom growl

Satan like a lion is on the prowl

Run with me baby heaven’s our only chance

We’ll be heading out after the last dance

 

There are a trillion ways they define eternity

I only have one love that’s what you mean to me

There are a trillion ways from here to infinity

I want to live all of my days just you and me

 

The gypsy shuffled the cards I suspected something odd

She said I don’t believe in Zeus what’s the use of a god

The crystal ball told me all I peered into tomorrow

Never mind the fee she said softly you’ll pay in sorrow

 

Volcanoes blowing up the wind in pain

Forty days and forty nights of endless rain

On a canoe built for two we rode the waves

Together forever even beyond our graves

 

There are a trillion ways they define eternity

I only have one love that’s what you mean to me

There are a trillion ways from here to infinity

I want to live all of my days just you and me

At The Gates

At The Gates

 

Achilles is knocking on your golden door                             

Helen is simply a goodlooking whore                                   

Homer is telling Bad Bart please no more                             

Who are the barbarians I’m no longer sure                           

 

At the gates you can come out or in

At the gates they bargain for your sin

At the gates nobody wins

At the gates it’s where life begins

 

Global warming is looking real these days

The rich man eats while the poor man pays

Obliterate, obliterate Doctor Who returns

Minimum wage is an outrage that burns

 

At the gates you can come out or in

At the gates they bargain for your sin

At the gates nobody wins

At the gates it’s where life begins

 

Samantha Stargazer is moving on up

George Bush still ain’t peeing in the cup

Blue this line is for you and Edgar too

I’d steal a chorus verse that’s what I’ll do

 

At the gates you can come out or in

At the gates they bargain for your sin

At the gates nobody wins

At the gates it’s where life begins

 

Androgena five is alive and she’s wearing shades in the night

They say we’re fighting for freedom now ain’t that a delight

Back to Troy let’s not annoy their joy with a wooden horse

We didn’t catch any fish so seaweed was served for the main course

 

Hell is real I can feel it in your soul

Why are we fighting for total control

Crappy Tech only cares about the bottom line

I’m dreaming of something that ain’t mine

 

At the gates you can come out or in

At the gates they bargain for your sin

At the gates nobody wins

At the gates it’s where life begins

In The End We Began

 In The End We Began

 

Greed was the American way but who are we                                  

Long live Nat Turner in the land of the free                                      

I know the Navajo share the Hopi dream                                          

Langston Hughes sung the blues in a dismal scream                         

 

In the end we began so the saying goes

A hot kiss in the apocalypse FIREWIND blows

In the end we began and nobody knows

In the end we began if only love grows

 

Orange you so glad that we’re becoming great

We’re stuck behind fifteen balls all number eight

In Chicago Fred Hampton lives on the wind

Get ready for pay day it’s the wages of sin

 

In the end we began so the saying goes

A hot kiss in the apocalypse FIREWIND blows

In the end we began and nobody knows

In the end we began if only love grows

 

If I was cynical I’d mention Charles Manson

On Monday Ted Bundy was simply handsome

Neil Young lost his groove somewhere in the great divide

I’m forced to fight cause there’s nowhere left to hide

 

In the end we began so the saying goes

A hot kiss in the apocalypse FIREWIND blows

In the end we began and nobody knows

In the end we began if only love grows

 

I am a patriot defying unjust laws

Black Elk speaks and Moses had flaws

FIREWIND is the band of my dreams

They blew up building seven so it seems

 

I’d insult you but you really ain’t worth the time

Nothing worse than poets who cannot even rhyme

Ronald Raygun is burning in the pits of hell

Jesus saves I say isn’t that totally swell

What We Buried

What We Buried

 

Crucified electrified with a mutual dream to share                                       

Felt the fire in the church choir we had one hell of a prayer                         

Repenting over Lamentations nobody mentions joy                                     

Like and Adam and Eve I believe in girl meeting boy                                  

 

What we buried made us strong

Love is more than right and wrong

What we buried didn’t belong

And now we got ourselves a new song

In a teenage daydream an endless scream trying to escape

The rules at the schools were made for the fools a mental rape

Don’t mention questions the idea is to regurgitate

Economics is greed which leads to philosophies of hate

 

What we buried made us strong

Love is more than right and wrong

What we buried didn’t belong

And now we got ourselves a new song

 

Under the midnight moon at the lagoon naked like birth

God may not test you but you still gotta prove what your worth

In the water innocence slaughtered we did more than kiss

So many years down the line feeling fine now we reminisce.

 

What we buried made us strong

Love is more than right and wrong

What we buried didn’t belong

And now we got ourselves a new song

 

Well your friend was nowhere to be found

The proper preacher pronounced us hell bound

Sometimes two plus two equals four

You’ll never win cause it’s a sin keeping score

 

We flew to Vegas two lovers living life like a charm

God damn Elvis was my best man we were walking arm in arm

Life’s a gamble we went on a ramble next stop paradise

Numbers mean nothing if you don’t have courage to throw the dice

 

What we buried made us strong

Love is more than right and wrong

What we buried didn’t belong

And now we got ourselves a new song

Fourth of July

Fourth of July

 

It came winter twenty below

Sky was weeping virgin snow

The sun was hidden by cloudy skies

But I saw a light in your eyes

A look that would never die

In your heart is the Fourth of July

 

Well the years came and the years went

So much time how did it get spent

I left my home town hit the road

Finding a way to loosen my load

I left you alone I know not why

In your heart is the Fourth of July

 

I had many lovers that is true

But none could compare to you

I remember your wiggling walk

And the sexy way that you talk

You are the best it’s no lie

In your heart is the Fourth of July

 

I remember the night at the lake

It was cold you began to quake

We lit ourselves a blazing fire

But you turned the heat on higher

We made Love as I gazed in the sky

In your heart is the Fourth of July

 

I called your house the other day

Your momma said that you went way

She said you married a rock star

And that you were gone real far

I hung up and began to cry

In your heart is the Fourth of July
