Yellow Thunder

Yellow Thunder

Yellow Thunder

Life is cheap

Makes me wonder

How you sleep

 

We ruled the plains

Before the trains

Hunted Buffalo

Lived to share

Came to know

God in care

 

More and more your lust does abound

Pollute the skies violate the ground

A road to a destination known well

Hell

 

Yellow Thunder

Six feet under

Still his cries

Electrifies

Our soul

 

You stole our land

With wicked hand

Your tongues still lie

And we defy

Your control

 

Our Great Spirit lives

Wisdom a gift he gives

Wisdom to perceive

Wisdom to believe

Your vain and futile path

Will be repaid with wrath

 

The Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria

Ships numbered three

Once more they shall sail the sea

For the land will be purged by fire

And you shall bow to our desire

You cities, roads, intrusions, no more

Burned Babylon the Whore

And on those ships you shall return

Where you go is not our concern

 

And Yellow Thunder will rock the Earth

And Yellow Thunder shall know rebirth

As countless drops of endless rain

Wash away the bitter stain

Soothing relief from the pain

Our land shall be our land again

Perfect, Pristine, Pure

And Yellow Thunder shall walk once more

Just One More

Just One More

 

Hera got in a rage with the ageless Zeus

She cried baby just maybe I’ll turn you loose

The god of Olympus replied with lightning and thunder

He cried Hera girl let me fill you with wonder

 

I was walking out the door

And she cried just one more

I said we’ve been here before

She smiled just one more

 

The story of Pocahontas is a sad lullaby

By the Mississippi River we hear her cry

She asks the whimsical question which is why

Love songs are eternal they never die

 

I was walking out the door

And she cried just one more

I said we’ve been here before

She smiled just one more

 

I gave you orange roses it was your favorite kind of flower

We made love at midnight and talked into the early hours

So why am I crying when I know that my sins are forgiven

Why am I crying when God has taken you to heaven

 

And words of a song will never make it right

Bob Dylan is perishing but you see him fight

There are mysteries not meant to comprehend

The truth is that all good things come to an end

 

I was walking out the door

And she cried just one more

I said we’ve been here before

She smiled just one more

 

If I was Shakespeare I wouldn’t write a tragedy

Simple human kindness is the world’s remedy

When I say I love you know my words are pure

If you desire my fire than yes just one more

 

I was walking out the door

And she cried just one more

I said we’ve been here before

She smiled just one more

Mixtape Memories

 Mixtape Memories

 

When the manic depression rages strong

All the right in the world is simply wrong

And you’re searching for a place to belong

I put it all down I put it all down in a song

 

Mixtape memories when you were with me

Mixtape memories when we were so happy

I say with regret that I lost the cassette

Mixtape memories life gets better yet

 

I was writing poetry in the psychiatric ward

Praying for no Thorazine praising the Lord

As the shrinks ignored my desperate pleas

All of these in my mixed tape memories

 

Mixtape memories when you were with me

Mixtape memories when we were so happy

I say with regret that I lost the cassette

Mixtape memories life gets better yet

 

Kurt sang Ghetto Blue and a few others too

Kurt got married and then like a bird flew

I get lost in the sin of what could have been

Then I realize that heaven’s the only prize to win

 

Mixtape memories when you were with me

Mixtape memories when we were so happy

I say with regret that I lost the cassette

Mixtape memories life gets better yet

 

Fifty eight life is great rocking in a digital age

I celebrate the endless debate on the sacred page

One day I pray an angelic choir will sing my tune

Blessings ain’t blessings if they come too soon

 

The tape goes on the music never ends

Joy to the world be happy with your friends

We live till we die and then the final encore

I’ll be singing in heaven singing forevermore

 

Mixtape memories when you were with me

Mixtape memories when we were so happy

I say with regret that I lost the cassette

Mixtape memories life gets better yet

Fallen And Frozen

 Fallen And Frozen

 

Visiting my wife Sylvia in the nursing home

Never wanting to leave her on her own

Dementia stifled her tongue into silence

Sometimes the kindness of God makes no sense

 

Fallen and frozen this was paradise

Fallen and frozen far too much ICE

Fallen and frozen please take my advice

The man of sin wants to win the biggest slice

 

Well at Martin’s we laid Sylvia out real pretty

She banged her head now she’s dead what a pity

She picked a good time to leave this hell hole

I mean there was a time when man had a soul

 

Fallen and frozen this was paradise

Fallen and frozen far too much ICE

Fallen and frozen please take my advice

The man of sin wants to win the biggest slice

 

You see Sylvia was a legal resident from across the sea

When you’re persecuting them you’re hurting me

Now I only got one back for me to look out for

I can curse the machine and work for a cure

 

Fallen and frozen this was paradise

Fallen and frozen far too much ICE

Fallen and frozen please take my advice

The man of sin wants to win the biggest slice

 

And the fascists are marching with boots shiny black

And the fascists are marching do you hear that Jack?

Modern day gestapo and the terror’s only beginning

And the devil in the white house thinks he’s winning

 

It’s all stolen land I say let it return

There’s hell to pay do you see it burn?

This lament is meant to prevent more

Welcome to the fall of Babylon the Whore

 

Fallen and frozen this was paradise

Fallen and frozen far too much ICE

Fallen and frozen please take my advice

The man of sin wants to win the biggest slice

Finding Peace

 Finding Peace

 

I read the articles of confederation

And the Bible all about salvation

But words on paper failed my cause

For man is not bound by laws

The generals gave me quite an alarm

His job was causing others harm

I refused even to give a simple salute

I’ve rejected the entire institute

At every juncture I took a turn

Lies and deceit lessons to learn

Meeker and weaker from my tries

I began to peel away at the disguise

The monster underneath grew clearer

In horror I discovered a mirror

‘Peace on Earth’ such a lofty goal

And I a child with a bitter soul

So I surrendered my frown for a smile

I escaped from the demon of denial

I said peace isn’t something you find

Peace is really a state of mind

There is only one way to start

And that is to put love in your heart

So I set off in Mother Earth with seeds to sow

To everyone I gave a friendly ‘hello’

Listen to this truth I say

Small things they go a long way

I dream of the bombs becoming obsolete

I dream of a world without victory of defeat

But the mountain of hatred is far too immense

And the insanity never made any sense

So I changed those things that I could

To everyone and all I did good

Then and there I had my release

This is my lesson in finding peace

Throwing Shadows

Throwing Shadows

 

Pinky asked me if I thought she was kinky

I was fully blessed as she undressed

There were tattoos I would never have guessed

She beckoned saying Come on baby ink me

 

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Life is a river you see how it flows

There are secrets that nobody knows

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

 

We were on LaRue Avenue scoring some dope

Long ago we had given up on hope

The drug dealers were banging at Al’s

When I preach in Jesus’s name we’re pals

 

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Life is a river you see how it flows

There are secrets that nobody knows

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

 

Well Monday morning the alarm clock screams

Pinky sighed then cried I was lost in my dreams

I went to the shower and I forgot to shave

Walking out the door I shouted “please behave”

 

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Life is a river you see how it flows

There are secrets that nobody knows

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

 

Well the house was rocking the circus was in town

The bearded lady was getting it on with the sad clown

I was searching the churches for Pinky deep in prayer

But something told me you’ll get old searching there

 

In the shadows the black cat hisses

I miss you Pinky and all your wet kisses

You were a demon made from pure shade

Sad to say in the light of day shadows fade

 

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

Life is a river you see how it flows

There are secrets that nobody knows

She whispered I’m only throwing shadows

There is music in my heart

Beating loud

Singing proud

A wonderful beauty

Finer than fine
