Two Plus Two Equals Five

Two Plus Two Equals Five

 

Cosmic pilgrims slipping moondust into the sacred wine                 

Shakespeare on acid tripping lusting for the right line          

Jesus on the mountain top he’s feeding five thousand souls             

Jim Morrison drunk refusing to pay the parkway tolls                      

 

Two plus two equals five

We’re passing through the great divide

Mankind is gonna survive

Two plus two equals five

 

Apollo was an outright lie but Aphrodite divine

Bankers bowing to golden Baal crying mine mine mine

I heard a rumor that Bob Dylan was selling out

I believe in true love but I confess sometimes I doubt

 

Two plus two equals five

We’re passing through the great divide

Mankind is gonna survive

Two plus two equals five

 

Where are we going where have we been?

Babylon the whore waging war in sin

Planet Earth spinning spinning spinning

Satan looking on grinning grinning grinning

 

When you get out on the yard you gotta rock and roll

Are you aware that somewhere there is a man in control?

The great Pele could score a goal from almost midfield

One day the mathematics professors are going to yield

 

Two plus two equals five

We’re passing through the great divide

Mankind is gonna survive

Two plus two equals five

 

Last time I tried to check the clocks were still keeping time

All of the popular melodies have rhythm and rhyme

In February’s chill I’m still looking forward to spring

Poetry is fine but I want something that I can sing

 

Two plus two equals five

We’re passing through the great divide

Mankind is gonna survive

Two plus two equals five

Down River

Down River

 FAWM #8

Sensationally sheik L’s into disco this week                            

Down at the new club voila the super freak                        

Dancing through the pain snorting cocaine’s a boost             

Just when them chickens coming home to roost?          

 

I went down river haven’t you heard

Flew south with a flock of birds

Lilly and Princess dropped by from time to time

Here I am down river and I’ve done no crime

 

Bishop works security an ex-Newark police man

I counted eighteen people who gave a damn

I look out of the window my lone escape

In my mind I find the repeating tape

 

I went down river haven’t you heard

Flew south with a flock of birds

Lilly and Princess dropped by from time to time

Here I am down river and I’ve done no crime

 

Sushi’s fine but the caviar’s simply divine

Oh I don’t know I just need something to call mine

The view from penthouse forty-five a pretty sight

Tears flow down her cheek something just ain’t right

 

I went down river haven’t you heard

Flew south with a flock of birds

Lilly and Princess dropped by from time to time

Here I am down river and I’ve done no crime

 

Billionaires don’t say prayers for the bums on the street

Rich man don’t know the hunger of having no food to eat

Pretty L I can tell your desire ain’t the stock market going higher

She’s a powder keg ready to beg to light her fire

 

Raven I wrote you a poem do you remember

For each win somebody gotta surrender

She’s mixing martinis in her new blender

Welcome to hell L so young and tender

 

I went down river haven’t you heard

Flew south with a flock of birds

Lilly and Princess dropped by from time to time

Here I am down river and I’ve done no crime

Forgotten Faces

Forgotten Faces

 

Red sun rose burning over the blue seas                    

Sugar is sweet and so is the word please                   

I had to ask baby but never twice                              

Come in for some more sin was your advice             

 

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Forgotten faces lacking social graces

Forgotten faces dealing all aces

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

 

Yesterday was more than a song gone wrong

So easy to say why can’t you be strong

Love lost such a cost winter’s bitter frost

Summer loving like a coin that was tossed

 

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Forgotten faces lacking social graces

Forgotten faces dealing all aces

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

 

Making love was easy but words can kill

Wish there was a cure a magical pill

What we had was a hundred one-night stands

Just me and you the two who understands

 

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Forgotten faces lacking social graces

Forgotten faces dealing all aces

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

 

I wish we could have went to an island lost in the ocean

I would build you a golden temple give my devotion

We would swing from the trees and laugh in the breeze

Me for you and you for me and both only to please

 

Freezing wind blowing on these city streets

I’m writing these lyrics counting the beats

Just empty words you were the melody

I’ve got nobody but I still ain’t free

 

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Forgotten faces lacking social graces

Forgotten faces dealing all aces

Forgotten faces in dreamy places

Perfect Dark

Perfect Dark

 

A day when heaven closes their windows                 

It was the grandest of the grandest shows                 

The moon and stars played electric guitars                

The hippies and yippies gathered on mars                 

 

It was a perfect dark nothing less nothing more

It was a perfect dark an end to the endless war

Colors faded into the inevitable black

It was a perfect dark and baby I want you back

 

Dreams are shadows and life ain’t really real

I missed with my sweet kiss you’re the ideal

The gin makes my head spin I’m too far gone

Baby give me some love to lean upon

 

It was a perfect dark nothing less nothing more

It was a perfect dark an end to the endless war

Colors faded into the inevitable black

It was a perfect dark and baby I want you back

 

Where is God when the bombs destroy

As bankers laugh in strip bars in mocking joy

Sorry Darwin has some laws that we must enforce

They don’t apply to us you know of course

 

Eggs for breakfast with coffee black and strong

In the perfect dark please play me this song

We’ll walk to the well of infinity

Darling I dare you take that plunge with me

 

It was a perfect dark nothing less nothing more

It was a perfect dark an end to the endless war

Colors faded into the inevitable black

It was a perfect dark and baby I want you back

 

So lonely Joni plays only sad chords

Miracles of wonder fall under the words

Night goes on but there are rumors of dawn

I walked plucking the weeds from our garden

 

It was a perfect dark nothing less nothing more

It was a perfect dark an end to the endless war

Colors faded into the inevitable black

It was a perfect dark and baby I want you back

Dreams Come True

Dreams Come True

 

Long ago in troubled times a Korean War              

A man who I would come to know as father           

In black and white photographs a distant smile      

Marching in green uniform grunting survival         

 

Dreams come true but only to the few

Dreams come true what am I to do

Dreams come true I still love you

Dreams come true and baby I’m due

 

Florence and Ted wed young in the land of promise

In years to come I would never see them kiss

Not once to hear the words I love you such sad shame

I was a small child giving myself the blame

 

Dreams come true but only to the few

Dreams come true what am I to do

Dreams come true I still love you

Dreams come true and baby I’m due

 

Rock and Roll fantasy starring Sir Elton John

Banging out Bennie and the Jets so far gone

A freak in a circus show mocked by my peers

In a prison of scorn a dungeon of fears

 

Dreams come true but only to the few

Dreams come true what am I to do

Dreams come true I still love you

Dreams come true and baby I’m due

 

Jimi played now he’s laid with a Stratocaster

See his fingers my mind is racing all the faster

If I had only known I could have been a rock star

All day and all night I’d play electric guitar

 

A cosmic kid lost in a social holocaust

Tormented by the past always counting the cost

I would never surrender I was overcome

A victim of circumstance in God’s kingdom

 

Dreams come true but only to the few

Dreams come true what am I to do

Dreams come true I still love you

Dreams come true and baby I’m due
