Blues Lady

 Blues Lady

 

Juan slipped Don Quixote some L.S.D.

A minor victory for the forces of anarchy

The evening news gives clues about reality

And you my dear I truly fear mean nothing to me

 

Blues Lady dancing in a daze

You the sunshine of my days

Blues Lady through the night

Blues Lady you make me feel alright

 

The face of the clown melted into a permanent frown

In Manhattan at night the trains don’t run downtown

Freaks and sheiks mingle debating minor affairs

The poor pay the lion’s share of corporate welfare

 

Blues Lady dancing in a daze

You the sunshine of my days

Blues Lady through the night

Blues Lady you make me feel alright

 

She’s a victim of technology

A lost soul in a murky mystery

Trying crying to be free

If she had the cash she’d pay the fee

But when the toll is your soul

You just gotta keep control

 

The psychotic soldier is now older and gray

He is lost in the holocaust of his yesterday

After the artillery they marched into the city

Sad to say mangled bodies are not too pretty

 

Blues Lady dancing in a daze

You the sunshine of my days

Blues Lady through the night

Blues Lady you make me feel alright

Cold War Blues

 Cold War Blues

 

Capitalism is marching dreaming of mammon

The depths of Africa is suffering from famine

The Russian bear wants to tear the world apart

Because communism exists in the core of his heart

 

There is a time you must pay your dues

Sitting in fear singing cold war blues

Insanity it comes in a myriad of hues

Angel of death bringing cold war blues

 

You’re damned if you don’t and you’re damned if you do

There’s going to be a battle to divide the world into two

And all I want to do is sing my songs of peace

May God brings us the love to make all this hatred cease

 

There is a time you must pay your dues

Sitting in fear singing cold war blues

Insanity it comes in a myriad of hues

Angel of death bringing cold war blues

 

I’m leaving on a jet airplane

Gotta go or I’ll go insane

Off to America the land of the free

Off to America and opportunity

Fair well Uganda fair well

About my future who can tell?

It may be heaven it may be hell

Fair well Uganda fair well

 

Nuclear stalemate terrorizes the strongest of men

It seems that Armageddon is coming round again

When will we learn the lessons of a love pure?

When will we be able to sleep in a place secure?

 

There is a time you must pay your dues

Sitting in fear singing cold war blues

Insanity it comes in a myriad of hues

Angel of death bringing cold war blues

Song of My Heart

 Song of My Heart

 

I’m searching for the right words to say

To make it all okay

Could you lend me your ear in the cool autumn breeze?

It would put my mind at ease

 

I can’t remember the words that I wrote

So take what you value and leave what you don’t

Let the music do its part

Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

 

Spent the night haunted by confused memories

Churned by a twisted history

Different players in an identical game

But the song remains the same

 

I can’t remember the words that I wrote

So take what you value and leave what you don’t

Let the music do its part

Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

 

In a deep dark valley with a cool running stream

I see a princess in a dream

I’m feeling the rapture I’m sensing the bliss

I will be free with your passionate kiss

 

I can’t remember the words that I wrote

So take what you value and leave what you don’t

Let the music do its part

Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

 

My thoughts turn to the memories of the days that we spent

Living off of the love that we lent

If you take the love I give I’m sure you will see

The truth is you’re just like me (X3)

 

I can’t remember the words that I wrote

So take what you value and leave what you don’t

Let the music do its part

Then you’ll understand the song of my heart

 

You know you’re just like me

You’re just like me 

Girl you’re just like me

D-I-R-T

 D-I-R-T

 

Well you daddy is a millionaire

And you don’t even have a care

All you gotta do is give a ring

And the servants will get you anything

Oh miss princess proper and elite

To you I’m the ground beneath your feet

I know what you think of me

D-I-R-T

Maybe it’ll always be

D-I-R-T

But if you wanna know what’s true

Baby I’m too good for you

 

Well I make an honest living

I ain’t rich I take what their giving

I’m not wealthy it can’t be denied

But I’m good and decent deep inside

Now some may say that’s a great worth

Not you princess you call me dirt

I know what you think of me

D-I-R-T

Maybe it’ll always be

D-I-R-T

But if you wanna know what’s true

Baby I’m to good for you

 

Cocktail party caviar

Limousine with a bar

Oh so well read

Got a king size bed

You love fancy art

But you ain’t got a heart

Look in the mirror and see

It’s you who is D-I-R-T

Cause all you hold precious

Is really useless

I see all you do

But still Love you

Foolish heart of mine

It’s a crime

Who can help me

D-I-R-T

Dating In The 20th Century

 Dating In The 20^th Century

 

Love is a four letter word and so shall it be              

Face to face living in a place of reality                      

I held your hand and baby that was the start              

I came to understand the beauty of your heart           

 

Back in the days when America was free

We were dating in the twentieth century

It was me and you and you and me

We were dating in the twentieth century

 

Tripping on modernization in chaotic times

Clever poets were ever searching for better rhymes

Darling tell me one and one do they make two

Darling tell me can you make all my dreams come true

 

Back in the days when America was free

We were dating in the twentieth century

It was me and you and you and me

We were dating in the twentieth century

 

Driving the long way home for a romantic view

Whispering sweet nothings the way that lovers do

I was seeking some pie in the sky fantasy

Dreaming of the ideal trying to feel the real me

 

Back in the days when America was free

We were dating in the twentieth century

It was me and you and you and me

We were dating in the twentieth century

 

I had visions of you in radiant naked glory

In deepest sin we told the blatant story

True lovers the truth discovers the very soul

Singing the blues in the age of rock and roll

 

Music on the radio we were singing along

Words of the prophets they were making us strong

Two voices united in the melody of the few

The voices united baby it was me and you

 

Back in the days when America was free

We were dating in the twentieth century

It was me and you and you and me

We were dating in the twentieth century

Tranquilizers

Tranquilizers

 

Herod had a party eating swine

Solidly drunk on the toxic wine

What do you need what’s the matter

Here’s John’s head on a silver platter

 

We are called the survivors

Dumped then pumped on tranquilizers

Red pills yellows pills give you smiles

Merrily mellow on tranquilizers

 

In the day room the zombies rest

Semiconsciousness their blissful best

When will you visit when will you come

A little dizzy so dreary numb

 

We are called the survivors

Dumped then pumped on tranquilizers

Red pills yellows pills give you smiles

Merrily mellow on tranquilizers

 

They call it the evening news

A glass of sorrow drenched with the blues

Truth and lies mixed all to control

First goes the mind and next the soul

 

We are called the survivors

Dumped then pumped on tranquilizers

Red pills yellows pills give you smiles

Merrily mellow on tranquilizers

 

Be sure you fill out the forms three times

Why is modern poetry void of rhymes

I’m ready for a fight now is the hour

Some of us are strong others have the power

 

Pop stars words processed like can fruit

Prisoners in the institute

Surrender is the last blasphemy

Know ye the fruit ye shall be free

 

We are called the survivors

Dumped then pumped on tranquilizers

Red pills yellows pills give you smiles

Merrily mellow on tranquilizers

Blues Lady

 Blues Lady

 

I’m a blues lady this is my song

I’m a blues lady don’t get me wrong

Cleopatra she ain’t got nothing on me

I’m a blues lady and I’ll always be

 

I’m a blues lady this is my verse

Life could be better life could be worse

On the cross Jesus became a curse

I’m a blues lady this is my verse

 

I’m a blues lady these are my words

I’m a blues lady I will be heard

I’m a blues lady righteously proud

I’ll sing my song I’ll sing it loud

 

I cry with Moses set my people free

I cry with Black Elk for the lonesome Cherokee

I never stopped singing we shall overcome

I’m a blues lady I know where I’m from

I’m a blues lady of African birth

I’m a blues lady queen of the Earth

You stole my mother from the Promised Land

I’m a blues lady don’t you understand?

 

I’m a blues lady this is my song

I’m a blues lady don’t get me wrong

Cleopatra she ain’t got nothing on me

I’m a blues lady and I’ll always be

Jesus Christ Blues

 Jesus Christ Blues

Spent all night in the garden deep in prayer

Spent all night in the garden deep in prayer

And all my friends they didn’t care

Judas came looking for me with a mob

Judas came looking for me with a mob

Guess I gotta find me a new job

Brought me before Pilot yeah he understands

Brought me before Pilot yeah he understands

Said forget you as he washed his hands

Mocked and ridiculed given a crown of thorns

Mocked and ridiculed given a crown of thorns

To die for your sins that’s why I was born

Dying on the cross between two dirty thieves

Dying on the cross between two dirty thieves

I give salvation to whosoever believes

Raised from the dead after three long days

Raised from the dead after three long days

Get down on your knees and give some praise

One day I’ll come like a thief in the night

One day I’ll come like a thief in the night

I pray to God that you make things right

Lazy Day Blues (Song #11)

Lazy Day Blues (Song #11)

 

Took Ventura Boulevard and headed out east

Picked up a hippie preaching about peace

She had some grass to help pass the time

Why is getting high a capital crime?

 

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

Sunsetting in many magenta hues

I’m a songwriter paying my dues

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

 

Couldn’t read the speedometer ran out of gas

Wheels spinning in desert sand going nowhere fast

In Arizona we crashed the Hopi dance

We’re all criminals victims of circumstance

 

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

Sunsetting in many magenta hues

I’m a songwriter paying my dues

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

 

I was tutoring math but the children revolted

They said I needed a bath and I got insulted

I made a video adding two and two

They say heaven is high why is that true?

 

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

Sunsetting in many magenta hues

I’m a songwriter paying my dues

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

 

I would quote Dylan but Guthrie was much better

Some people like Z but W is a finer letter

The words and chords melted in something placid

Uh oh oooh no the grass was laced with acid

 

I was close to understanding the paradox

Of a million doors with a single lock

I had no paper so it’s all on memory

If you don’t have the key you’ll never be free

 

I got me them crazy lazy day blues

Sunsetting in many magenta hues

I’m a songwriter paying my dues

I got me them crazy lazy day blues
